never again hear Of vigers, whose official cor
ruption is o disgrace to the negro race, o
which lac is an unworthy member.

new funding arrangement of Southern State
bonds, proposed by European bondholders,
will &c accepted by any Of the States con-

and it is said that the bondholders estt't.ate
the revenue of the State rnurh t6o largely.
In North Carolina 4 cornfeT scheme OF re-
funding the bonds has been brought forward.
and appears to meet with more favor than the
European proposition.
