The REGENT OF MOUNT VERNON
The Washington Chronicle publishes a
two-colnmn article by Mrs. Emily Edison
Brlggs, newspaper correspondent
known by the nom de plume of "Olivia, !"
in which she indicates very clearly her
opinion that Miss Pamela CUNNINGHAM.
who is regent of the Mount Vernon
estate, has rather too ''good thing Of
it." Miss Cunningham's regency is
under the charter passed by the Virginia
Legislature authorizing the "Mount
Vernon Ladies' Association of the
Union. to purchase 200 acres of that
estate, including the mansion and the
tomb OF Washington; but the writer
alleges that by means Of second char
ter, quietly lobbied through the Legisla-
ture, Miss Cunningham has become, to
oil practical intents and purposes, the
virtual owner Of the property for lifo,
and now lives on it in eXtravagant style,
with great retinue of servants, her ex-
penses paid for various pleasure trips,
nc. A vice-regent is to be appointed by
her to represent each State, who are to
meet once year for the government of
the association. at long periods, some
four or five Of them are brought toge-
gether; they enjoy Miss Cunningham 8
hospitality for time, aud ask no ques-
tons as to her management OF affairs.
She has deposed the national secretary
and appointed private secretary, who
also preserves q discreet silence, aud no
living being outside of the clique at
Mount Vernon has Knowledge about
the funds that are called for, received,
and never accounted for or returned.
SO says Mrs. Briggs. in all of which, of
course, no one would accuse her of being
the least envioua. She further alleges
that although $200,000 are now asked
Tor by the regent, the estate is self-sup-
porting on account of its various sources
OF income The accusations will proba-
bly lead to Investigation, aud meantime
1T Will be prudent not to Jump to con
clusions on the subject. It may be

rorctgn Affairs.

LONDON, April 1S.-The Daily Tele-
graph, in an editorial article this morn
ing, asserts, in decided terms, that its
statements made few days since rela-
tive to the precarious condition of the
relations between France and Germany
are founded upon undeniable facts. The
Telegraph says: ''We deem it our duty
to declare, as certain and solemn fact,
that upon Theirs decision this week de-
pends the fate OF France. We arc not
speaking rhetorically. We measure anx-
iously these most grave and momentous
words. On Monday, Count Won Arnim,
the German Embassador to France, car
ried an ultimatum to Theirs. The pur-
port of this ultimatum is, that Germany
sees in the French army bill and the
speeches of Tfiers menaces of vengeance
and q programme for the eventual repu-
diation by France of her Indebtedness
to Germany. Prince Bismarck, there
fore, demands that the armaSaents of
France be reduced, and the war esti-
mates be diminished, OF the aiternnti 7e
will be the re-ocoupation by the German
troops of the evacuated French terri
tory, and war, if necessary"

A fresh proof of the utter disregard of

OF the appropriation for the Lunatic

OF that institution, has been compelled
to write to the Probate Judges Of the
several Counties that if the State autho
rites do not do something to sustain tho
institution before the first proximo, it
will have to be closed and the patients
taken in charge by their respective

is exhausted, and the superintendent

The ARREST OF A PRErENDED EAnn-

LIE ARREST OF A PRETENDED EARL
The New York Tribune, Of Thursday.
gives the following particulars of the
arrest, in that city, of the person claim
ing to be the Earl of Aberdeen. It saws:
Deputy Sheriff Judson Jarvis arrested
Tuesday night "Lord" George Gordon,
alias George Henry Gordon, alias Cor
don Gordon, at the suit of Jay Gould,
on an order OF arrest granted by Judge
brady. Gould swears that on the lst of
last March, he delivered to Gordon GOO
shares OF Erie Railway stock, of the
market value of 5000, that he instructed
Gordon to sell the stock, and with the
proceeds to purchase eighty acres of
land In Westchester County, and that
Gordon did not observe his instructions.
but refused to return the stock. and con.
verted it to his own use. Bail in SAT O0O
was furnished by Gordon, who was then
released from custody.
Gordon is an Englishman, who came
to this city some time since, representing
himself as large Erie stockholder, and
oln ming that he owned half of all the
Eric stock held in England. He ap-
peared at the Eric Office at the time of
Gould's overthrow, and loudly demanded
admission, which was refused. It is said
that he claims to be tho Eurl of Aber-
deen, whose fate was long in doubt, but
whose loss at sea appears now to he set
tied beyond question. Notwithstanding
this, Gordon is said positively to assert
his identity with the lost Earl, and to
declare his intention of claiming the
Aberdeen estates.

which she did Immediately. Cameron
