ly fourscore years in the ancestral vaults of
an old Virginia family, to be yielded now to the
harsh fate of an auctioneer's hammer to bring
whatever valuo they havo as authentio relics
of American history.
The owner of the correspondence is a Vir
ginian, a matornal descendant ot John Ran
dolph, and a collateral descendant of Robert
Morris of Philadelphia. It forms part of a col
lection ot letters chiefly written by Washing
ton to Robert Morris at tho time the Revolu
tionary army was encamped at Morristown,
N. J which entire collection will shortly bo
' diposed of at publlo sale by a firm of auction
eers in Philadelphia. They are now in tho
possession of Stan. V. Henkels. who In April
last sold an attested copy ot the will of George
Washington for $1,400.
The reference to Honry Clay as a "blaok
lee." which precipitated the historic encoun
ter, was made by Randolph in theconrsoot a
debate which began la Congress on Feb. 15,
1825, on a resolution about the propriety of
discussing with open doors a communica
tion from President John Quincy Adams
en the prospective assembly of American
nations at Panama. The Invitation to mor
tal combat was Issued forthwith in a
brief and businesslike note from Mr.
Clay, then Secretary of State. In spite of all
the negotiations to persuade Randolph to say
that the term " blackleg" did not apply to Mr.
Clay, the proud Virginian refused to yield
further than to doclaro that tho exact words
In his speech whloh bad caused the offence
were" Puritanical, diplomatic blaoklegged
administration."
The meeting took place on the banks of tho
Potomac, on April 8, 1820. Tho story of tho
duel is history, so far as the main inoldents
are concerned, all ozcept the unpublished cor
respondence. The letters aro excellently pre

sfssiifsetnrcrs u4 Exporters of Frsses
Tell of Its Effects.
Paris, Nov. 2a The Assoolated Press has
made extensive inquiries In Franco as to tho
effect ot the McEinley bill. Mr. Whltolaw
Iteld, tho United States Minister, said: "Many
of the most important French industries have
not boon affected in tho slightest degree by
the new tariff. On many classos ot silk goods,
for example, tho atlvancos aro inappreciable,
and In some of them, on which tho heaviest
advances were made, importations havo actu
ally Increased. Therois no advanco at all on
wines, excepting a dollar a dozen on cham
pagne. Tho Administrative bill, howovor. has
compelled. In many cases, muoh highor valua
tions than hitherto prevailed, and this for a
tlmo has doubtless deranged the oporatlons of
somo exporters."
Mr. FranclsR. Loomls, Consul at St. Etionno,
says: "The McKlnley bill has not affected
this part of France, whore silk is tho chief in
dustry," Mr. AV. r. Attwell, commercial ogont at Rou

Mr. Randolph ncoepts tho ohallengo of Mr.

" To Hkjby Clay. Jisa..
"secretary of State."
This letter is woll prosorvod. It has every
appearance of having boen n rough draft from
which a more perfocf copy was taken, because
it has many words scratched out. and ad
ditions, interlineations, and corrections. The
allusion to the Kromer incident must havo
boen painful to Mr. Clay. It occurred in Jan
uary. 1'J5. nt tho tlmo tho disputed contest
for the Presidency was ponding In Congress,
nnd when Mr. Clay was Speaker of the
House of Representutlvos. A card was pub
lished In tho Columbian Observer, then printod
in Philadelphia, roforrlug to Mr. Clay as hav
ing bargained tho support of his followers for
the chair of Secretary of btato. Mr. Clay came
out In a card In the A'ntioual Intelligencer in
Washington Intimating that he would call out
tho author of the charge If he would make
himself known. George Kremor, a member of
Congress from Pennsylvania, Instantly pub
lished a card avowing the authorship over his
own signature and offering to produce evi
dence that would bo acceptable to unpreju
diced minds. Instead ot calling him into tho
field, Mr. Clay, according to his biographer,
gave uttornnce to sentiments of magnanimity
toward Kremor nnd had tho whole case
brought before nn investigating committee.
This terminated the Kremer incident.
The seconds here took up the correspond
ence. Mr. Clay's second wrote:
" WAsnitJOTOH Crrr. 2d April. 182a

MISUSE OF PUBLIC MOXt-T.
Cba.rg.es Agalast Ktna-stoa's Board of Alma
Commissioners,
Bxmostox, Nov. 28. For several years past
there have boen reasons to suspect thut the
management of tho poorhouse affairs of this
city waB not conducted In the lntorosts of tho
taxpayers. The annual expenses of the Roard
of Alms Commissioners huvo Increased with
out any apparent cause. The Board consists
of nlno members, one from each ward, ap
pointed by tho Mayor, subject to .Confirmation
by tlio Common Council. Politics has seldom
entered In the selection ot the Commissioners.
Representative citizens have In tho main
been chosen and reappointed from year
to yoar. E. M. Urlghnm, the Presi
dent of tho Board, has served as
a Commissioner for twenty years. Ot tho
members of the present Roard, six aro en
gaged In various branches of retail business,
and warrants that havo boon issuod during
the past year show that they havo furnished
supplies for tho almshouse contrary to the
rules of the Bourd. which expressly statu that i
no Commissioner shall bo directly or Indl- j
rectly connected with any contract or pur-
cliasemado for tho department. Twowoeks
ago, when the Bourd nmdo its annual report I
and presented estimates for the elif-uing yeur,
it asked fornn increase of nearly WJ.tsjo.
This fact, oomblnod with rumors of extrnv
ngauco and corruption in tho manngomentot
the almshouse affairs, resulted In tho appoint
ment by the Common Council nf a commlttoo
of Investigation The committee met nttho
City Hall hist night and held a session lasting
several hours. William U. Scott, Superintend
ent! tho almshouse, who Is also Secieturyot
the Board of Commissioners, was present In
rosponse to n fiiibimwi, with tlio books, vouch
ers, und papers purtulnlng to his ofllce. An
examination of . tho bills paid to In
stitutions for the earn of insane mutes
and orphans brought to,, light tho
fuel that a number whose Immediate relatives
aro able to provide for their maintenance nro
mndo a elty charge. It was also shown thnt In
tho matter of outdoor relief tho city is being
robbed nnnuully. Persons 'on tlio list receiv
ing ulms work stoadily and receive good pay
durlngtho bettor portion of tlio yoar. Others
havo tinmnrrlcd children living with tlieni
earning fulr wages und, able to provide for
their support Among those who have, bn
receiving food und fuel from tho city is tlio
proprietor of united house of ill-reputo The
cost of outdoor relief has beon, largely In ex
cess of that for Inmates of tho almshouse.
Superintendent Scott declined to stnto
whether ho hat) beon directed by the Hoard to
glvo proforonco to Alms Commissioners (n
making purchases, it appealed that extor
tionate prices wero charged and paid for sup
plies, It Is openly asserted that certain busi
ness men have made thousands of dollars
from tho "pull" they havu had with the Com
missioners. Tho committee will, continue Its
investigation next Tuesday evening, and somo
startling developments are expected.

"Wero you to call for mo at my house It

o'clock. Yrs. sincerely. Tn. S. Jesup.
" CoL Tattuall."
Mr. Randolph stubbornly Inslstod on fighting
tho duel to tho last In spite of tho pressure of
friends to stay hostilities. On tho night before
the meeting, no sent for Oen, James Hamilton
of South Carolina nnd told him with a meltlnc
voice that ho had no Intention of shooting at
Clay. Tho story of the duel is history, huttlio
correspondence thnt formed part of it throws
an Interesting light on tho facts. When Mr.
Randolph's assertion that ho would not make
Mr. Clay's wife a widow and hlB children
orphans by shooting nt him reachod tho
ears of CoL Tattnall, the Colonel hastened
his footsteps to tho home of tho Virginia
Senator, and found him at midnight poring
over Milton's poems. CoL Tatnnll declarod
that unless Mr. Clay's fire was returnod by his
adversary he would withdraw as a second.
Randolph still clung to his determination not
to shoot at Clay, but compromised the case
with CoL Tattnall by agieeing to shoot Mr.
Clay if he saw tho riovll In his oyo and malico
in his looks. Tho llrst shot was fired by Ran
dolph. His Pistol went off bofore ho had tinio
to raise it Mr. CIny reserved his fire, and It
wa decided to tako a f roll start. The second
time Mr. Clay fired first without effect, nnd tho
Senator from Virginia shot up in the air. Mr.
Clay noticed this and. rushing up to his adver
sary, gushod forth:
"I trust In God. sir. you nro untouched:
after what has occurred I would not havo
hnrmod you for a thousand worlds."
Writing to a friend six days after tho battle,
Mr. Randolph pleaded that he was too over
come with omotion to write about the duel.
His pen was chokod. ho told, and ho was af
flicted with tho " ijjileria passu) of old King
Lear."
