CHARLOTTE Co., VA, dnuarv /, 1874

CHARLOTTE Co., VA, January l, 1874.
SIR: The undersigned, a committee of the
Clay Club OF this county, in execution OF q duty
assigned them, address you this communication,
and request that you would so far deviate from
your prescribed route as TO favor the people of
this comfy with visit, while on your contem-
plated journey through some of our Atlantic
States. Judging from the recent indications of
the line of travel designated by yourself, we have
but faint hopes that you will find it practicable
to yield to this request; but we are, neverthe-
less urged by your admiring and patriotic friends
to make the request. And there are considera-
tons, which give this request force somewhat
peculiar.
Public opinion, here, may be said to be in
somewhat OF transition state. Perhaps, until
within a very recent period, there was no part
Of the United States that cherished stronger
prejudices against you, personally, or that, more
unitedly condemned certain great measures, for
the support of which you have been pre-emi-
nently distinguished, than this portion of the
Roanoke region But great change has super
vened many OF us, now, truly appreciate your
great public services, your patriotic devotion to
our common country, and the magnanimity of
your character
We were persuaded to think, and we believed
that Protective Tariff, by adding the whole
amount Of duty to the price of the imported ar
icle, was tax of peculiar inequality and op-
preston. But we are, at length, undeceived,
and many of us begin to think that Tariff,
protective, not prohibtory, since it enlarges the
supply without increasing the demand, MUST
HAVE THE EFFECT OF LOWERING rather than rails
ing prices Some Of us begin to believe that
greater diversity Of pursuit, resulting in the
permanent establishment of a Home Market,
is imperiously called for, to arrest the down
ward progress Of Eastern Virginia. There is
still mass Of prejudice existing on this subject,
which might be dispelled by the farseeing sa-
gaciy OF him, who has the glorious distinc-
ton of projecting, defending, and sustaining the
great scheme of American policy.
Hoping you may find it practicable to yield to
the request and invitation herein presented, and
rendering our best wishes for your continued
good health, we subscribe ourselves, with high
respect and esteem,

LETTER FROM MIR. CLAY.
New ORLEANS. Ian. %. 1,

New ORLEANS, Jan. 80, 1914.
GENTLEMEN: | have received your letter ad
dressed to me, in behalf of the Clay Club Of
Charlotte county, in Virginia, inviting me to de-
viate from the route by which | propose to return
| home from North Carolina, so far as to visit
Charlotte. | should be truly happy to accept it,
| II could, and meet my fellow citizens of Char
| lotte; but, as you appear to have anticipated, |
| cannot without violating necessary restriction,
| to which subjected myself prior to my depar-
| ture from my residence. If | were to go off the
line Of my journey, do not know where nigh,
not be carried, by the kind invitations of my
friends, or the impulses of my own feelings
There would be no limit to my travel and
should be embarrassed to decide where to COM
mence, and where to terminate them | could
not visit every place: and it would be invidious
10 discriminate between various points, having
equal claims TO my attention, respect and graft
ude. The rule, which have adopted, limiting
myself to the route to which | shall proceed on
my journey, is simple, and hope, may be salts
factory.
1t affords me great pleasure, Gentlemen, to
learn that the people Of Charlotte and the neigh
borhood, renouncing preconceived prejudices and
antipathies, are candidly renewing their former
opinions adverse to protective tariff, and that
many Of them are disposed now to believe that
reasonable and moderate protection, short of pro-
hibition, is beneficial to the consumer, by aug
menting the supply. The nonexistence of man
ufactures in the United States would leave to
foreign countries monopoly in the supply of
American consumption. The prohibition Of the
fabrics OF foreign countries would transfer that
monopoly to the home manufactures in the
United States; but the monopoly would be
modified and moderated, progressively, by COM
petition arising at home. The true interests of
the consumer are best promoted by competi-
ton between the foreign and the national sup
ply. The inevitable tendency Of that COMPETE
ton is to reduce prices, as all experience has
demonstrated. A duty never augments the
price, to the extent Of its amount, but in the case
of an inadequate supply of the article, on which
it is imposed, to the demand for that article.
But the reduction of prices is not the only, nor
the greatest advantage Of the establishment of
manufactures in our country. They create an
ability to purchase those cheaper articles, by the
home market which arises for the products of
agriculture and of labor.
All these truths are susceptible, | think, of the
clearest illustrations but this is not suitable
| occasion for more than briefly adverting to them.
| tender, gentlemen, my respectful acknowl-
edgments for your friendly invitation, and assur-
ance OF the high respect and esteem of
Your friend and obedient servant,
HI. CLAY.

AN OUTRAGE.-The New York Commercial
OF Saturday says: We are concerned to state
that an attempt was made last evening at about
o'clock, upon the life of DR.. Macdonald, for
merly physician to the Insane Hospital at Bloom
lngdale, and at present at the head of private
institution of the same character, in the immedi.
ate neighborhood Of the city The doctor was
walking In Twenty-frst street, between Third
and Fourth avenues, when he was fred upon by
one OF two men who came up behind him
Doubtless the intention was to shoot him through
the side of the head; but the ruffian misdirected
he pistol, 50 that only slight wound was made
in the right cheek, where the ball lodged, and
has not yet been extracted. The doctor is by no
means dangerously wounded, and is doing very
well this morning The assassins, who are en-.
tirely unknown, have escaped"

HE CHRISTIAN MoNIToR.-We have been

McGulre's hat store, on 9TH street) copy ola
handsome and very large engraving with the
above title. 1t is not only ingenious and inter-
estng' but is calculated to effect great good
wherever it may be circulated. We cannot bet
ter describe it than by inserting the following
from the Raleigh IN CO. Star:
The whole superstructure reposes upon the
sure ,. foundation OF the Word of God. The way
Of life is represented as plain and HIGH way.
leading through besetments and multiplied snares.
to the regions Of eternity, where the reward Of
The successful pilgrim is fully and brightly dis
played. On either side of this way Of life are
scattered, thckly and fearfully, the denuncatons
Of the Bible against the wicked, together with the
bitter fruits of impenitence and disobedience.''
