GENERAL LEES COLLEGE.


Strange story About MIR. PeabOdy's Donation.
If the information got this evening be reli-
able, Mr.. PeabOdys donation of S6O,OOO 10
General Lees college to endow professorshlp
is likely to be of little use to that institution.
The interest, which is only $4,000 per annum,
was intended to pay the professor, and 5000 TO
go to the library yearly. II appears that IN
1854, while the Virginia and Tennessee Rail-
road was being built, the State Issued two or
three millions of coupon bonds. Selden,
WitheTs ~ Co., bankers ofWashington, were ap-
pointed agents for their SALE and they appointed
James Soutter, of New York, as their sub-agent.
During financial pressure Selden, Withers "
Co. took upon themselves the responsibility OF
hypothecating several hundred thousand dollars
of these bonds with Barring d Brothers and Pea
body d Co., of London, with Soutter & Co.. of
New York, and perhaps other bankers Soon
after this Selden, Withers Il Co. failed and made
an assignment of all their property TO pay their
debts, leaving out the State of Virginia. Pea
body d Co. had then in their possession S10S, 600
of these bonds. Early in the fall of 1854 Pea
body q Co. sent these bonds by the steamship
Arctic to their house in New York, and
they were lost with the vessel
off Cape Race. Mr. Peabody then
demanded the reissue of bonds to supply
the lost ones: but this was refused by the Trea-
surer, and subsequently by the Legislature. Be-
sides the above amount Mr.. Peabody had
S35, GOO OF these bonds, purchased in his own
right, prior to the failure of Selden, WithCrs ~
Co., which were also lost at the same time, and
which the Legislature refused to pay when he
memorialized that body in 1856. 1t is supposed
to be the latter amount with the interest accrued
thereon, that Mr.. Peabody recently donated to
General Lees College. As it has once been re-
pudiated by the Legislature the chances of its
collection from the State in its present depressed
condition is rather doubtful. -Frjddy'S Wash

THE CAPITAL.
Remarks About Its Removal.

The Chicago Tribune keeps ''pegging away
at the removal of the capital, with portentous
persistence. 1t says that the hullabullo about
the cost is absurd, for the reason that the pre-
sent buildings might be made available for a
National University and a military academy,
while the new expenditures would cost no more
at st. Louis than at Washington. 1t says:-
THE cost of removing the seat of government
may, therefore, be summed up as follows-
Expense of new and ade
quate buildings in the
Mississippi Valley. $4,000, 600
Deduct further expenses
necessary to erect Lew
buildings. if capital re-
mains at Washington $50, 100000
