dividuals, besides those named, will
account in the expected disclosures for
the formation Of the Wing party"
Every persla must see at the first
glance that Gov. Tazewelli is one of the
persons alluded to, and il is generally
believed that the Hon. w. s. Archer
is the other. With regard to the trans
action which the latter may have with
the bank, we know nothing, but there
are few Virginians who would no, en-.
gage for their fairness. With regard
to Mr.. TBS. affair, we will make a plain
statemeat, which will make the Virgin

cation Of such an atrocions SANDER.

Origin of TIE CLAIM on France.

"tSM " s"e OsusHs VIE Iuntcs
The correspondent of the New York
Courier gives the following sketch ofthe
origin, &c. Of the claim on France, which
now forms SO prominent subject ofpub.
lie attention.
"From the year 1898 to 1900, there
arose various causes Of complaint be-
tween the two governments. They
were, however, 10 part amicably settled
by convention signed on the sOth
September, 1900. Such of them Is
were postponed to "a more convenient
time,' were settled by the treaty Of SEES.
sion Of Louisiana, signed ON the s0lh
April, 1908. From that period up to
1906, there existed no serious difficult
ty between the governments of France
and the United States. But from 1906
to 1912, our commerce was constant

OF England and France. Sometimes
under the pretext Of orders in council,
or Berlin and Milan DEGREES. At 9th.
er times without even this fimsy apollo.
gy for the depredations committed.
ut is for these wrongs that we now
demand remuneration from France. =
Our commercial losses have been esti-
mated at upwards of fourteen millions
Of dollars, exclusive Of an average in.
terest on this capital for % years,
which added thereto, would increase
the amount to nearly forty millions Of
dollars. And yet Mr.. Rives agreed to
surrender these claims for five millions
of dollars /; and then triumphantly an.
nounced to the world, that this sum was
amply sufficient to satisfy all the just
claims of our citizens, ofevery descrip.
ton, comprehended id the scope OF the
negotiation
"The injuries for which we seek re-
dress arose out of seizures made by the
French, under
"The Berlin decree, dated 21st No
vember, 1906.
"The Milan decree, dated Esd No
yember, and 18th December, 1907.
"The RambouiIlet decree, dated 49,

We respectfully ask the aid Of all

mentioned that the Legislature Of the
State of Delaware is in session. -
CHARLES POLK was chosen Speaker Of
the Senate, and WILLIAM D. NAPLES
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. We have just seen copy Of
the Message Of the Governor to the
Legislature, which is six newspaper
columns in length. Oflhese one whole
column is occupied with an elaborate
review Of the controversy between the
United States and France, concerning
the Indemnity Treaty; the disserta-
ton bringing the worthy Governor to
the following grave conclusion, al
which, however, it is not possible to re.
press smile: Sin consideration ofthe
circumstances, l earnestly recommend
an immediate attention to the military
system, together with the enactment Of
such provisions as may be adequate to
place the State in an attitude Of pre-
pardtiot for the probable emergency !"

THE letter.

THE letter.
Mr.. Editor.-I have been troubled
with this complaint on my hands for
perhaps thirty years. Ihave used re-
NEEDLES prescribed by eminent physi-
clans both in this country and Europe,
and have used perhaps twenty appli-
cations recommended in the newspa-
pers, or otherwise, but all without per-
manent effect. In one instance went
so far as to cauterize the skin, but soon
after the new skin had hardened, the
letter re.appeared. After violent at
tack of yellow fever in the West Indies,
all the skin Of my body pealed off,
was then in hopes this would be an ef-
fectual cure, but no such thing, like
Monsieur Tonson, the tetter come q.
gain.
had given up all hope Of ever ef'
fecting cure, when noticed, some
six or eight months ago, in your, or
some other paper, that Indian dye, or
blood root, stepped in strong vinegar,
would effect cure. The remedy be-
ing so simple, I resolved upon trying it,
and found it effsctual; but the blood
roo, leaving an unpleasant stain upon
the hands, l TOO soon relaxed in the APP
plica,ion and the letter began TO reap.
pear /; this brought me to the notion to
apply vinegar simply, and have found
it to answer equally well! have had
no letter on my hands for months past
when the least speck appears, touch
it with vinegar, and il is gone.
From this experience, ! recommend
therefore, as cure for the letter,
"strong vinegar and perseverance in
application" With view that fellow
sufferers by this annoying complaint
may be benefited, ! hope you will pub.
lish the above in your paper.

Prevention Of Baldness.-A cores.
pendent of the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal intimates, that rub.

the cut surface Of a raw onion, till the
root Of the hair become moistened with
it, will effec,ually prevent the hair from
falling of.
Pumpkin Pie secd.-Extract Of a
letter from an eastern correspondent
"You enquire for pumpkin seed Of
the best kind known in this county,
can send you seed that will produce
thanksgiving pumpkin pies ready made
how much will you have of it7"
Really We are at a loss how much to
order OF this seed. AT all events we
will have little and sell it at the usual
price, and If it produce as is promised,
we shall expect from each purchaser q
small return Of the pies produced by
way ofproof, and as an "extra allow.
