The proportion OF colored to white people In
this county is as TO g. not more than that.
His share then Of public charities should be
one-lourth. What is the fact? Orr whole
popnlaton is about 9! 900 The Oversecrs of
the Poor for IIoudoun county held their annual
meeting to-day, to make the parish levy
That, | understand, is about So, ESQ against
SIS, 800 last year. greater levy by 50, $50 than
there was last year but this includes about
81 900 levied for the keeper OF the county
Poor's House for supplies furnished, from 1861
to 1865 inclusive, by him to the paupers
there. Thus The levy for the poor will be
about $3.50 less this year than it was last year.
OF the 50, ESQ levied for the current support OF
the poor, the supplies for the colored people
are out OF all proportion to those Tor the whites

called public attention, says: I'VE sincerely
hope that the landowners OF Virginia will turn

in dealing with this important matter. The
railroads have reduced the rates of fare, and
the hotels arc pledged to moderate charges"

The public debt statement Of June 1st. is
gratifying, because, under the circumstances, it
is no worse. The total debt shows an actual
Increase Of SIS, l65, 42l during the month, not
counting the treasury cash. which, from reve
hue and other sources, came in unexpectedly
large towards the latter part OF the month,
greatly to the relief of the statement In con-
sequence Of this, therefore, the debt appears
over five millions of dollars less than on May
