MR.. HUNTERS PROi'OsITIGN

! Hon. X. VI. Z. Hnnter, of Virginia,
has written a letter explanatory Ui
his proposition that the United
States Government shall comren
safe the late shareholders OF the
South for the loss OF their slave
property under the ehict OF Mr..
generally condemned. His scheme
is that 800, 10000 be deposited
with the Southern State Govern
ments to be loaned, without interest,
to ex -slave- holders. The Richmond
Wing favors the plan, aud says /:
ave cordially endorse his views,
and hold that the Southern Repre-
sentative who fails 10 urge the claims
of our despoiled people in proper
season, will be recreant to his duty
and fa!thless to the trust reposed i'll
him"
Should the scheme of Mr.. Hunter
succeed, il would be God-send to
the Southern people /; but III that
event, the question would naturally
arise, how would these poor ex
slave holders obtain the money en-
trusted to Ra,Ical Governors for
their benefit II all we hear of
those officials who manipulate the
finances of this State be true, Mis-
would whistle in vain
for their proportions of the loan.

The exhibition in every department

horses started at a lively pace from
Greenwood Mills, with a small boy hold
of the reins, sitting upon the bottom OF
the wagon box. There was also a box,
pillow and other loose articles in the
wagon. They came up and crossed
the bridge, and climbed the Hill with
lightning speed, wheeled suddenly to
the right, ran across the hay scales, aud
brought up amid an anxious crowd
against the new livery stable. The only
