old man, and cannot fail to make a

From the Petersburg Cya.l I~n,eIIigencer1
In the Editorial comments of the last
Richmond Enquirer, on the difference
between Gen. Jackson and Mr.. CLAW.
an attempt is made to shift the response
bility of having first diuulged the Sc.
cret OF the proposition Of bargain
from the shoulders of the General to
those of MIR. Carter Beverly. Now, /
should protest against this as very uR-
Just, were it not too ridiculous to re-
qulre serious notice. PRAY, Messrs.
Editors of the Enquirer, did not Gen.
jackson tell the story before all his com
Pany!" And what did Mr.. Beverly, in
the simplicity of bis heart, do more than
this-that in writing to his friend in
North Carolina, be repeated the Gen.
erafs olcn words:2 General jackson,
and not Mr.. Beverly, then, is Mr.. CLAWS
accuser-and let the General produce
his witness, - o.
Pinning to the BaI.-Mr. CLAWS frank
and manly letter has literally choked
the Organs of the opposition. They
are more completely dumb .founded''
than any other set of hopeless a~dventur-
ers that we ever saw. As an evidence
of the sac dilemma in which they are
placed, wa mention the fact, that the
last number of the Washington Tele-
graph, the leading jackson paper, con
tains an editorial article ofthree columns
to prove that Gen. jackson has made no
| charge against Mr.. Clay at all.-Taking
all their cue from the Telegraph, some
OF the opposition papers nearer home
are vainly attempting the same thing
Now this won't do, gentlemen. For
months past you have been clamoring
against the administration, because Geo.
Jackson said he could prove a corrupt
bargain to have been made between Mr..
Clay aud Mr.. Adams. And now, find
ing your idol driven aud pinned TO the
wall by Mr., Clay, you oar out, "0hno,
gen. Jackson has never made any charge
against Mr.. C!ay!n Again we say, gem
tlemsn, this will not do. You shall not
be permitted to skulk away thus. Either
Gen. jackson made the charge, or be
did hot. If he did not, you must admit
that all you have said upon the subject
of a corrup, bargain for the last year, is
unfounded and false. If he did, he must
prove il, or abide the consequences.

PAUL JONES AND LAFAYETTE.
Extract of a letter fsom Capt. Paul Jones to the
Marquis de la Fayette, written on board tt
Imperial ship Wolodimer, June 26, 1888.
IL am glad that the new constitution
will be, as you tell me, adopted by more
than nine states. l hope, however, they
will alter some parts oft; and p%articu-
larly that they will divest the President
of all military rank and command; for
