TIE PEABODY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION OF
GEoRGETowN.-There having appeared sundry
inquiries and suggestions relative to the Peabody
Library Fund, and looking to the immediate
establishment of library as a nucleus, with
view Of adding to the same by private subscrip-
ton, we understand that the Trustees, Messrs
w. W. Corcoran, George w. Riggs, Anthony
Hyde, Henry ID. Cooke, and William l.. Dun
lop, consider themselves restricted from
such a course by the terms of the giant,
which require them first to erect a
building and for this purpose the fund is at
present entirely inadequate. Such was the ex-
pressed opinion Of the trustees at q meeting
held this morning at the Office Of W. w. Cor
coran, Esq, in Riggs bank, and to correct the
suggestions thrown out by "PhilO'' in the
Georgetown Courier Of Saturday, we publish the
following extract from the letter Of Mr.. Pea
body, dated April Goth, 1867, conveying the
donation, which was originally $4,000; but
which has increased by investment in bonds per
last annual statement May, 1862 to S16,O50:
This sum direct to be invested and accu-
mulate until il shall be sufficient in connection
with the amount of accrued interest and in
cluding any donations from other sources,
should such be made, to erect suitable build
brary, and to establish therein a good general
circulating library, to which the Inhabitants of
Georgetown shall have free access, under such
restrictions and regulations as may by you and
your successors be deemed necessary and proper.
Should you think IL best to keep the funds as
they are until they shall be sufficient by accu-
mutation, as before stated, to erect q building
which shall not only be suitable for such Ii
brary as 1 have specified, but which shall also
contain lecture-room or hall for lectures for
popular institutions, give you leave to do So"
OPPOSITION TO FEMALE ESUYFRAsE.-"Data,"

Sherman, and number of ladies beside, sup
port the nti-womah's suffrage idea. They think
the universal voice Of the women of this coun-
try should be heard upon the subject, and they
fell assured that the result would be that an
immense majority of their sex would be found
TO be opposed to accepting the right to vote,
believing that such right would bring it's bur
dens, duties and responsibilities, which would

THE LEGAL-TENDER CAsEs-DeJts Contracted
Prior TO TIE Passage Of the Act Must be Paid in
GoId-In the Supreme Court this morning.
Chief Justice Chase read lengthy opinion OF
the Court on the legal-tender cases. to the effect
that the statute making Treasury notes legal
tender for private debts could not be made con-
stitutionaly applicable to debts contracted be-
fore the passage of the act, or, i'm other words
that all debts contracted prior to the passage of
the legal-tender act must be paid i'm gold and
parties could not take advantage OF that act to
cancel obligations made pri to it in green
backs. 1t is also intimated in the opinion that
the issuing of legal-tenders was a war necessity,
and the war having now terminated, 1t was the
duty of the Government to retire them as fast as
possible, and necessity existed for issuing any
more. Justice Miller dissented.

portion of the public press of traducing public
men by making charges affecting their charac-
ter upon the merest rumor put atioat to crafty
the maevolence of a personal enemy. The case
of General Schenck is instanced, where inju-
rious imputatiOns have been made as to the
manner in which he got money ''to buy $4,000
stone front in Washington" and at the same
time the allegation is put out preiudicial to his
honesty that he is in favor of sing the tax on
whisky and return to "the old days Of cor
ruption, small revenue, and large fortunes"
In answer to these allegations the Tribune cor
respondent says:
General Schenck is the author of the law
taxing whisky as il stands on the statute book
labOred for its perfection and adoption, and has
never intimated a wish to have il changed. He
believes il to be as perfect as it is possible to
make il, and will stand by it. Gen. Schenck Is
a widower, and has been for many years. He
has the care of three daughters, and being COM
termined to bring them here where his public
duties require him to he. He deemed it better
TO keep house than to board, so he purchased
home in Washington city. He paid for it by
giving some county bonds and several vacant
lots in Washington (Which he had owned more
than dozen years. in exchange for 1t.
Is it not shameful that a private business
transaction of this sort should be seized upon for
