COMMUNICATIONS.
USE AND VALUE OF CANALS.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
Having shewn, from the Report" the great
amount of revenue from the Erie and Cham
plain Canals for the last two years, notwltl-
standing a great and continued reduction on
the tolls, propose to make some further ex-
tracts, showing the great increase of the trade
and the probability of an early extinction OF
the whole debt created for their construction.
For involving the State in this debt, the great
Clinton and his co-laborers were ridlcuied ana
denounced during the progress ofthe work; ana
in debate in the Legislature, upon an appro-
priation for the work, it was derided as otg
ditch. in which were to be buried the treasures
of the state, and to be watered by the tears OF
posterity."
The amount Of tolls collected upon the Erie
and Champlain canals, during the, season OF ma
vigation for each Of the last four seasons, has
been as follows: -
In 1881, at the old rates oftoll, Sl,l94,6lo 4e
1892 do do l,l95,S04 %
Total in two seasons S2,39o,4l4 ~
In 1899. (average reduction Of
tolls about 20 per cent? Sl,422,o9o ~
In 1884, further average reduc-
ton Of Is Der cent? about 100000 90
Total in two seasons S2,722, sos 90
This statement shows, that notwithstanding a
reduction in the rates OF toll which is equal to
35t per cent, within the last two years, such has
been the great increase of business upon the
canals, that the aggregate amount of tolls col
lected from the opening to the closing of navi'
CATION in the years 1888 and 1884, exceeds the
collections for 1881 and 1882, by the sum OF
$33s,2so so.
Instead Of the treasures Of the State being
buried in the "big ditch" the following extract
will show, that the whole debt may be paid be-
fore the earliest period fixed for the payment OF
the first instalment ofthe loans,-viz in 1887
while the residue Of the loan is not redeemable
till l945:
In the last Annual Report, the total amount OF
Erie & Champlain Canal stock, remaining un-
paid on the 30th September, 1888, was stated at

WAsnNGroN's BIRTH DAY.-We hope that ar
engagements will be commenced forthwith, to
celebrate in becoming manner the approach
ing anniversary Of Washington's Birth Day.
Our town has heretofore had the credit of keep.
ing alive the celebration of this day, as warmly
and enthusiastically as any city in our country.
We trust the old spirit will be awakened. The
Washington Society have, in accordance with
an ancient and honored usage, appointed an
Orator for the occasion. We look to our fel-
low-ctizens generally to second the exertions of
the Washington Society, in this and similar

ALEXANDRIA:
FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 6, 1895

Mr. CLAY.-To one who looks merely at the
surface OF things, and watches only the upper
currents of political movements, which he who
runs may see, the present situation of MR. Clay,
with regard TO the great parties which now d.
vide, or, We might rather say, are about to d.
vide the country, may appear singular enough.
Decidedly one the greatest, il not the greatest
man in the naton-a tried patrOt-an eminent
statesman-a splendid orator; as private citi
zen, beloved and esteemed; as public man,
respected and admired, even by his opponents
his whole life series Of brilliant parliamentary
services:-fortunate in having trtce saved his
country from strife and civil war; and every
year marking his history with something, which
other men would think it glory enough to have
achieved once in lifetme-wth all these quail
fications merits and services, We now scarcely
hear his name mentioned even by his friends,
in connection with the high Office of ChiefMa-
gistrate of the Nation!
As far rs honor or fame are concerned, no
friend Of HENRY CLAy's need desire power or
Office for him. His name will live as long as
American Liberty shall survive, or its influence
be felt in the world: it will live in all time to
come. Posterity will award him the highest
honors which a posthumous fame can bestow.
With no title Of mere worldly distinction to
make the name Of HENRY CLAY respected, the
future historian will record it with glow of pa.
trotism, and future generations pronounce it
with pride and exultation. fortunate man"
they will say, worthy ola great and free peo-
pie! Worthy to be called the Republican Ora
tor and Salesman
Feeling and knowing all this, Mr.. Clay's
friends may well feel Indifferent as to any work
ings Of party, which may prevent his being
candidate for even the exalted Office of Pres-
dent Of the United States. 1t is no uncommon
thing for men of inferior talents to be forced to
climb ambitions ladder, and
-"reach the topmost round"
while the same circumstances that affected this
have kept honor and genius out Of the reach Of
popular favor! Thus moves the world, and we
do not pynect IN see IL IN Our day either wiser
