LETTER OF JEFFERSON TO
BENJAMIN AUSTIN.
MonfiroIn Tun q I

IIOlttcetO, Jan. y, 1910.
DEAR SIR,
acknowledge with pleasure your let
Ter of the 9th Of December last.
Your opinions on the events which have
taken place In France, are entirely just
so far as these events are yet developed
But we have reason to suppose, that they
have not reached their ultimate termIna
ton. There is still an awful void be.
tween thepresent, and what is to be the
last chapter of that history; and ] fear Il
is to be filled with denominations, as
frightful as those which have already dis
graced it. That nation is too high-mind.
ed, has toe much innate force, inielligence
and elasticity, 10 remain quiet under its
present compression. Samson will arise
in his strength, and probably will ere
long burst asunder the cords aud the webs
of the Philistines. But What are to be
the scenes of havoc and horror. and how
widely they may spread between the
brethren Of one family, our ignorance OF
the interior feuds and antipathies of the
country places beyond our view. What
ever may be the commissions, we cannot
but indulge the pleasing hope, they will
end in the permanent establishment of a
representative government; a govern
ment in which the will fthe people will
be an effective ingredient. This impor.
tant element has taken root in the Euro
pean mind, and will have its growth
Their rulers. sensible of this, are already
offering this modification of their govern
'ments, under The plausible pretence that
it is voluntary concession on their part.
Had Bonapare used his legitimate power
honestly, for the establishment and sup
port of free government, France would
now have been in prosperity and rest,
and her example operating for the benfit
of mankind, every nation in Europe would
eventually have founded a government
over which the will of the people would
have had powerful control. His i'm
proper conduct, however, has checked
the salutary progress of principle; but
the object is fixed ia the eye of nations,
and they will press TO its accomplishment
and to the general amelioration of the
condition of man. What a germ have
The freemen ofthe United States planted,
and how faithfully should they cherish

press upon US; and the axiom 70 be APP
Piled will depend on The circumstance
which shall hen exist. For in so con-.
plicated a science as political economy,
no one axiom can be laid as wise and
expedIent for all times and circumstaces.
Iaattention to this is what has called for
this explanation, which reflection would
have rendered unnecessary with the can
did. while nothing will do it with those
who use the former opinion only as q
stalking horse to cover their disloyal pro.
pensitles to keep US in eternal vessalage

respect aud esteem.

value has not as yet been fully estimated.
A large portion of The stock on the roads,
has been procured from their receipts, and
as large proportion of those receipts has
been in state scrip, which could not be
used to advantage for that purpose, the
roads have, at no time been furnished with
stock sufficient to develope their full re-
sources, but this difficulty is now nearly
obviated, and the roads will for the future.

they are of the opinion that the interest

THE HERITAGE.

The rich mans son inherits lands,
And piles of brick. and stone, and gold,
And he inherits soft. white hands.
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear garment old:
A heritage, it seemsto me,
One would not care to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inherits cares:
The bank may break, the factory burn.
Some breath may burst his bubble shares,
and soft, white hands would hardly cam
A living that would suit his turn
A heritage, it seems TO me,
One would not care to hold in fee.
what does the poor mans con inherit
Stout muscles and a sinewy heart,
A hardy frame, harder spirit;
King of two hands, he does his part
In every useful toll and art;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
what does the poor mans son inherit2
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble things,
A rank, adjudged by toil-worn merit.
Content that from employment springs,
A heart that in his labor sings;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
what does the poor mans son inherit?
A patience learned by being poor,
Courage, if sorrow come, to bear it,
a fellow-feeling that is sure
To make the outcast blesa his door
A heritage, ltseems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
oh rich mans son there is toll
That with all others level stands;
Large charity doth never soil,
But only whitens, soft white hands;
This is the best crop from thy lands;
a heritage. it seems to me,
Worth being rich to hold IN fee.
On. Door mans son, scorn not thy stale,
,e~Ss than thine,

Both heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last;
Both children of the same dear Gen;
Prove title TO your heirship vast
BY record of well filled past;
A heritage, ii seems to me,
Well worth life to hold in fee.'

The unexampled severity of the last
winter, by which the navigation of the
lakes was closed for about fiveimonths, op-
Grated much to the detriment of The road.
During several of these months The snow
and ice. prevented the trains from carry.
ing the freight that was offered, and as
the travelling by sleighing was good du,
ring the most of tie winter, the produce
which usually come over The road in the
spring was sent in by sleighs. and the
road lost large amount of business, that
in ordinary seasons it would have been
ena DIed to DO.
Since the opening of the navigation in
May last the receipts of the road are
much larger than they were forthe same
period of the previous year, and notwiih-
standing the severity ofthe winter, which
increased the expenditures. the road has
been more productive than heretofore, and
with the seasons we usually have, would
it is believed, have equalled the expecta-
tons of the most sanguine friends of the
work. T hat portion of The road which
has been run during the year extends but
eighty miles from Detroit, aud cost eleven
hundred thousand dollars, and it has yiel-
ded the present year more than six and
three quarters per cent upon the cost.
For the year ending November 80. the
engines with trains of cars have run lG6,-
l2l miles. The whole expense of run
ming the road, including all expenditures
for repairs of road and of ma chinery and
cars having been $74,960 20 shows the
expense drumming an engine and train TO

per mile.

returning from Hoboken, were attacked on board

and most dreadfnlly beaten. One OF them at
first thought to be killed, and the other had his
head horribly cut, his hair pulled out, and his
eyes dreadfully bruised. They were quietly talk
ing together, when one Of the rowdies said, "there
is one Of them," and instantly they received blows
from clubs which knocked them senseless to the

GREAT MILITARY TURNOUT YEsrERDAY.-The
brigade Of artillery under the command Of Gen.
George P Morris, the American lyric poet, made
fine display yesterday. Amongst the companies
attached to the brigade, the new one, the "Scot-
fish Guards" attracted great deal Of attention.
The uniform is remarkably tasteful, picturesque
and unique, whilst the high respectabity Of the
members and their excellent state Of discipline are
such as promise well for tho future success and
popularity Of the company. The tartan worn by
this company was imported from Scotland by
Myers & Drummond, and is very beautiful. The
elegant scarfs worn by the officers were procured
OF Beck u Co., in Broadway, and adds very much
to the character OF the uniform. In the evening
the members of the company entertained a large
number Of military officers and other respectable
citizens, at very elegant collation. gwen at their
quarters, the Mercer House. Many excellent
speeches, fine songs, appropriate sentiments and
the inspiriting music Of the Highland pipes, render
ed the occasion one Of great enjoyment
Captain Postley's splendid Hussar company also
attracted great deal of attention, and very de-
servedly.
