THE National Intelligencer collects, from va
rious sources and circumstances, the facts in re-
lation to Hunnicutt, the Radical leader, show
ing what manner of man he is, that he 'oas
violent and proscriptive enemy Of the blacks
that he was a voluntary "rebel' and seces-
sionist-that he proposed at an early day the
capture of Fortress Monroe, &C., &c, &c
Since then he has become the Idol Of the ex-
IRENE Radical party, having completely deluded
the black population. But the Intelligencer
properly adds to this sketch the remark that
what power for evil this man possesses is owing
entirely to some of the Radicals who noW de-
nounce him; but at the commencement Of his
career patronized and fostered, and encouraged
him We warned them, at the time, Of the
mischief they were doing

Convention what progress, if any, has been
made by the stenographer of the same in re-
porting and printing the debates thereof, and

engaged in taking evidence upon the subjects
before them, and were determined to do Justice
to all men, no matter to which side of the house
they belonged.
Mr.. Hunnicutt argued against the resolution.
Mr.. Parr said that the gentleman had taken
insult to himself where it was not intended.
Mr.. Porter: You reflected on the committee
sir.
Mr.. Parr: You are not the committee. -

PAY OF CLERKS, ETC.
Mr.. Thomas called up the ordinance fixing
the pay of the janitor and clerks of committees.

charged.
This was decided with ayes and noes-Ayes,
81; noes 10.
The vote was then taken on Mr.. Snead's sub

lars per diem, and resulted: Ayes, IA noes, g.
