Senators Have been sounded ON the sub
ject OF the -.nomina ton of DR.. Hunter to
some good South American mission and
the probability OF his confirmation. The
cause for this inquiry is the indictment
hanging over him in Kentucky, growing out
of the alleged bribery charges In connec-
tion with the effort TO eject himself a
United States Sena tor.
Assurances have been given that this
indictment would not stand in the way,
owing To the peculiar circumstances under
which it was secured and the excited
conditions at Frankfort at the time Of the

that his loss cannot be supplied He has
long been looked upon as a leader in every
movement of a public nature and his wise
counsels viii be sadly missed The people
of Screven viii long cherish the memory of
this noble and distinguished son.
