House and vary Custss Lee

| 70 the Editor Of the World:
Sir,-It may not be amiss to state few
plain facts rs 20 the matter Of the Arlington
estate. John Parke Custis left The Arling-
ton estate to George Washington Parke
Curtis, the adopted son and step.grandson
of one George Washington. G. W. Z. Gus
tbs had one child, Mary Gusts, who was
born at Arlington, and to whom he devised
his estate. The daughter Mary married
Robert Edward Lee. In his will, admitted
to probate at Lexington, Virginia, in Octo-
Der last, General r. E. Lee bequeathed to
his family only personal estate. No men,
ton Of lands is made In it, because he
owned none. The will itself bears date an
terror to the war. &. w. 2. Gusts died IN
1867, and after that General Lee held life
estate IN Arlington us tenant by courtesy.
II now belongs to Mrs. Lee, free from any
claim whatever except tax title held by
tie United States Government. ANY law
yer knows that court OF equity would
hold the owner Of tax title as entitled
merely to what he actually paid out, re-
turned to him with legal interest. Mrs. Lee
has been under legal disability as married
woman. This is low removed by the death
of her husband, and she stands as any other
widowed lady claiming her patrimony and
birthplace ut the first moment that the laws
allow her to do so. Nobody seeks TO re.
move the Union dead but shall the great
granddaughter of Martha Washington have
Ter property That's the question.
RANDOM.

FIRE IN WAsH1NGToN.-Loss OF LIFE
About l O'Clock Sunday morning the old
Centre Markct-house, occupying a space

by some means in nearly dozen places,
and in an incredibly short space of time the
entire range of buildings, comprising the
old market-house proper, together with the
long rows of frame structures which have
been added thereto during the past twenty
years to supply the growing demands of
the population, were in light blaze.
The losses by this confagration IRE very
great, amounting, in all probability, to
$4,000. There was great quantity of
provisions Of all kinds slowed away in the
various stalls, which was entirely destroyed.
The dreadl'ully charred remains of two
men were found in tue debris of the feed
stand of Alfred Jones, on 9th street. The
bodies were finally ascertained to be r. A:
Boyd, resident Of the Seventh Ward, and
Saul Hammond, huckster, both white.

TIE PROPOSED POSTAL TELEGRAPH.-lt
is said by one of the members of the House
Select Committee on Postal Telegraph that
the entire committee are of opinion that
the time has come for the Government to
intervene in some form in the telegraph ar
engagements, but there is difference as to
the method of means by which this should
be done. Gen. Washburn, the chairman,
who obtained the unanimous consent Of the
committee, will probably report his bill
when that committee shall again be called,
but with some changes from the one of last
session, the most essential alteration being
with regard to the appraisement of the tele-
graph property, which it is proposed the
tive companies.~ Washington Telegram.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of our northern
friends who have recently settled amongst
us made trip up Dan river on last sat1r-
day for the purpose of ascertaining the
practicabllty of running steamer from
GAINESVILLE to South Boston Depot. They
inspected the river as high up as Hyco
Falls, which point has always been consid-
cred the great and only difficulty in the
way. They inform us that with very tri-
fling outlay small steamer can be put on
at once to make the trip to South Boston,
and bring us in daily communication with
the railroad GarkSyille Roanoke Valley.
