The First Big- Combine.
A letter from this city to the Nashville,
Teon., American, says :
"Mr. Edward Hughts i- the proprietor of
the Alexandria House, in tun city. His
grand fat ber kept an ion on the Fairfax road,
between Alexandria and Mount Vernon.
At that ion was arranged the first important
political 'combine' in the history of the
United States, and one which has never
been exceeded in magnitude. This was the
'combine' by which the bite of the Capital
of the United States was chosen, and which
enabled Alexander Hamilton, Washington's
Secretary of the Treasury, to push through
Congress his pet Echeme for settling the pub
lie debt. When, after the inauguration of
Washington, the first Congress met, the two
matters of paramount interest which came
before it were the eettlemt at of the big debt
of the new Republic aad the crjoic9 of a
permanent site for the National Capital.
Alexander Hamilton had concocted a plan
for the settlement of the debt, and was very
proud of it. He was heartily supported by
the Federalists, under the iead of Thomas
Jefferson. After a long fight in the House
of Representatives, one of tbo sections of
Hamilton's bill failed to pass, lacking three
votes of a majority. The whole mensure
was then dropped temporarily. But Hamil?
ton did not give up hope. He saw a way
by which to get the measure through ; name?
ly, a deal, the basis of which was an appeal
to State pride. While tho funding bill was
under discussion nearly all the Repitsenta
lives of the original States were working
hard to secure tho National Capital site
within tho borders of their States. The New
Yorkers, Virginians, aud PenasjIranians,
were the leading competitor?. Virginia was
especially desirous to get the Capital. The
whole Virginia delegation was opposed to
Hamilton's Treasury bill. No argument
could change their votes, and when the first
session of Congress was adjourned the mem?
bers went to their homes, leaving tho two
great questions of the day unsettled. Dur?
ing the recees Hamilton formulated his
scheme to gain the votes necessary to pass
his bill. He determined to trade off the
New York delegation, which was entirely
under bis control, for three Virginia votes,
through an arrangement by which New
York would support Virginia in its claims
for the National Capital if three of
the Virginians would vote for his bill.
At the time Mr. Hughes's grandfather kept
the old Fairfax inn, and it was a popular
re?ort for travelers. Washington and his
Mount Vernon visitors olten stopped there
for refreshments. During the summer fol?
lowing the adjournment of Congress one of
bis visitors was Alexander Hamilton. He
had not come down to Mount Vernon solely
for social purposes. He had his "combine"
in view. He had been corresponding with
certain anti-Federalist Virginia Congress?
men, whom he knew cherished a Btrone
State pride, and he wanted to have a talk
with them. The meeting place was at
Hughe j's ion. There Hamilton met his men,
and the back porch where the discussion
ocenrred is to this day pointed out by the
Hughes family. It overlooks the Potomac
and Washington city. The news of the
meeting did not come out for many months
afcerward. But its effect was perceived
sooner. When Congress came together
again everybody except Hamiiton, the Vir?
ginia Congressmen, and probably President
Washington, thought the old fight on
the two questions would be resumed.
But it was not so. Hamilton's bill came up
again and three Virginia Representatives
who opposed it before voted for it, and it
was passed in its entirety. This was a sur?
prise, but the surprise became greater when
the Capital Bite matter came up. Pennsyl?
vania was very confident of winning the
prize; in fact, the State was assured that
New York's vote would eventually come
over to it. But when the vote was called
New York voted eolidly for Virginia. That
settled the matter. Virginia took the bun,
and the present site of the Capital was
chosen. The old tavern in which the 'com?
bine' was effected is still in a good state of
preservation. It is built of bricks imported
from England, which came over in the same
vessel that brought the materials for the
building of old Christ Church in Alexandria,
where Washington regularly worshipped
during the later years of his life."
Many people take newspapers, but few
preserve them;, yet the most interesting
reading imaginable is a file of old news?
papers?it brings up Ihe very age with all
its bustle and every-day affairs, and marks
its genins and spirit more than the most la?
bored descriptions of the historian. Who
can read a paper dated fifty years ago, with?
out the thought that almost every name
then printed, is now cut upon a tombstone,
at the head of an epitaph.
