To TIE Editor Of the National RspubIioda:
SIR: In the article in Friday mornings issue OF
your paper you have fallen into error as to date
when the appeal was made to the national banks
for funds to complete the Washington monument
That appeal was made several years since, instead
Of two or three months as unintentionally stated,
and was responded to by only four banks, who
sent IN their subscription.
Recently, about six weeks Gfnce. the society
adopted the simple and comprehensive plan Of
calling on all organizations in the country for
contingent subscriptions, no money to be paid
until the entire amount necessary TO complete the
monument should first be subscribed, and COM
munieations have been sent to Q limited number
Of different societies, which have and are respond
ing promptly and literally, so that the society Is
encouraged 70 believe IL viii be fully successful;

in practical plan for wiping out this national
disgrace, that we know It Will readily correct the
When the present plan was adopted, entirely
contingent IN its terms, the society deemed Il
right that the money paid under plan they had
abandoned should be returned 70 the subscribers,
and which was done. One Of the banks to which
was returned $3.50 has subscribed 500 under the
new plan.
The society has had some lfberaI responses from

THE CARE OF MOUNT TERN0N.

The Alexandria Sentinel OF Saturday says:
"Tbs care OF the Mount Vernon mansion and
grounds, as now conducted, &c the boldest catch
penny concern that ever existed In Virginia. We
make this charge knowingly, having long heard
it mentioned but waited till assured Of its truth
before making it in this way. We make no
charge against the state board Of visitors. who
have lately made an unfayorabls report. Every
one knows how easy it Is to get things up In
pretty shape for board which visits once year.
Besides the people most interested have no rep
resentative on that board. But It Will appear to
visitors outside Of the board that either very few
people go to Mount Vernon, and that the expense
tho receipts are not expended on the grounds.
These are in a shameful condition Of neglect ex-
cept Immediately around the house, and even
there accommodations are wanting entirely, and
not only are the vendors Of photographs allowed
to rob visitors with their exorbifanf prices but
mutilate,) and even water, Is sold TO those who
desire It.
at cannot be supposed that the Legislature Of
Virginia intended 20 put obstacles IN the way Of
the public visiting the place. The charter f0rbids
this suppOsition. Yet the present MANAGEMENT
have violated the charter By making an exclusive
contract with the steamer Arrow, b. which they
receive Sc cents . head IRON all who land there,
(Whereas they are restricted 70 25) and In order
to make more available this impreeBlon they have
thrown al possible obstacles IN the way Of any
approach 20 that place except By that line.
Other vessels are refused permission 70 land ct
the wharf, and parties WHO approach BY land
are subjected 70 the offensive nsolence Of the Iasy
negro at the gate, to charge for children whom
they are forbidden to charge by the charter, and
are proper safeguards employed 70 prevent pecu-
lation IN the reoaiDte. "
