Yung Wing, q Chinaman who
graduated at Yale College, in 1854,
is now living at Shanghi, has long
been anxious that his young coun
trymen should enjoy the benefits
of an American education. After
much negotiation with his gov
ernment, he has succeeded in in
ducing the Chinese authorities to
send over 80 boys for five consecu-
tive years to study, for twelve
years each, in the United States !.
The candidates are to be selected
by competitive examination, and
after completing their school and
college courses. are to adopt some
profession. All their expenses
will be paid. and the only condi-
ton cxacted is that they shall re-
turn home, and shall not give uI
their Chinese citizenship.

70 Wx. A. PssLLR:
A. you have addressed an article over your
signature, to the public, through the columns
Of the Richmond Palladium, I hope you will
not consider it ~ giving an improper noto-
riety to your name, to answer you personally
through the same channel.
You complain very bitterly of the spirit Of
injustice which animates the great body Of le.
gal voters Of this county, who now seek to
relocate the county seat at the city af Rich
nond. And in this sentiment you are not at
all peculiar from those, who often deem il me-
csssary to complain Of the actions OF majori-
ties, who, in subserving great public inter.
ests, find Il necessary to sacrifice those Of .
more private and selfish character.
The day Of building Court Houses in geo.
graphical ceuters has long since passed by.
Our commerce, transpor tat ion and social in
tsrchanges are now nearly all conducted thro'
the facilities furnished by railroads and in
this respect, you must admit that Richmond

fully three -fourths of the population of this
| county, than any other tOwn, to say nothing
Of the advantages she offers to the farmer
mechanic, and trader, in her mercantile, me-
, ctanical and manafac turing interests.
But as you have chosen to present thil
question upon purely selfish grounds of policy
BY urging that you have spent money ther<
and Jour property will be greatly sacrificed
feel warranted in saying that if the con.
siderations which touch your own pockets
were out Of the way, you care very little for
the public
Indeed, sir, l feel authorized in afirmius
