from the Government money enough to build
two Pacific railroads, but the South, By division

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

Correspondence C the Alexandria Gazette.
RICHMOND, Fer. 5.-TLo foreign bondbold-
er5' representatives,, having ade their proposition
to the FlrgiLiaDs, have left. Tie conference
was productive of good. The narly tore Of
Mr.. McCullob, 10 discussing with tho conrit'
tee, made very favorable impression. He
and his associates listened a!tentively to the
views and statements made BY the members OF
tho Finance Committee. 1t is difficult 10 pre-
dict what the result of this conference will be.
Il has certainly made very favorable impress
sion upon many of the membtr, of the Legisla-
ture, and some of those gentlemen who we're
particularly rich 10 inVeciye against the swelled
bo6isd holder Of STAMPS month ago, are now
either silent upon this subject or speak 10 ad
vccacy Of the proposition offered By MIR. Nc
CuNoh and bis associates. Ooe thing is notice
able, namely, that iD no quarters do We hear
the terms proposed violently objected to.
The ponderous doors of the capitol bulldog
had not long been swung open upon their rusty
hinges this morning, nor had the convict com.
pspy of sidewalk cleaners been ct work many
minutes before an individual. holding small
bill against the State of Virginia, stepped 10 the
Auditors Office and presented that CAIN and
accompanied the presentation with tho usual
picid smile inseparaby connected With audi.
| tors ou such occasioo. He was answered brlet
| ly and 10 the point, Bottom touched" which
meant that thtre was no money in the treasury.
10 day Mr.. Hunter, of Alexandria. made a
speech against the proposition to cut down the
pay of the penitentiary guards from S45 per
month 10 SIS. He opposed the idea With great
earusstness. He wound up by moving that
the salary Of the superintendent oftha! inslitu
ton DC cut down from 81, 500 to $1,000. This
motion YES lost. lie made tho startling state
ment, Il believe kcoW more about the inside
workings Of the penitentiary than any man
here" Their, seeing the lock Of horror upon
the faces Of his brother members, and the
Involuntary shrinking from his side of such old
and respected msmbcrs as Gen. Anderson and
Gen. Talliaierrc, be qualified the statement by
saying, Not tina: baVe ever been confined
| therein"
Peter Carter, the cjlored ntm5cr Of the
House from Northampton, has been speaking
three days upon the ki7ts us1rpstio1 resolu
ton. He will conclude to MORROW. Peter
made the statement that no white men have
been hung in Virginia for the murder Of re-
gro. Peters speech so far has been we'll de.
irertd and we'll written. He is the smartest
