The New York Herald states that Il
rumor is ahoat in Washington that bo-
fore the lapse Of many daye, Republi.
can member Of the House will submit to
that body somewhat bold aud start
ling proposition for :he relief Of the
Southern States from their present dis
heartening financial embarrassments
This proposition, it is said, will be to
advance to the Southern States several
hundred millions Of cash, or its equiva-
lent, and partly in consideration of the
heavy losses suffered by the Southern
States in the loss OF their slave property
This will not be very disagreeRble infor-
nation to the Southern planter who is
contemplating the formidable balauce
against him on the debit side of his fac
tors account. The Southern people
were robbed of their slave property, and
it would be only justice to make guc.l

the campuign Of 1875. and SO il some
leading Republicans during this session
OF Congress shall lead of in some move
ment for the Southern vote not act down
in the administration programme. you
need not be surprised"
IL will be remembered that when MIR.
Hunter asked pay for slave property. q
few months ngo, tho proposition was
pronounced monstrous by the R,dical
press. Now Radical Congressman
favors the measure. Verify, the world
moves.
