Letter from Hon. A. p. Bagby.

WASHINGTON, sept H. 1910.
Dear Sir--I have the honor TO acknowledge the
receipt OF your letter of the I'd inst, and take great
pleasure in answering the several questions there
in propounded.
have not abandoned my resi 1ence in Alabama,
nor do intend to do SO while live.
The second question seems TO hive originated IN
some misconceptiou, for l have visited the State
every year since have been in the Senate.
shall vote for the approval Of the Texas Consti-
futon, and To place her on the same iostng with
the original States, provided that Constitution sets
up a republican form of Government. l am not
ignorant that my views and opinions in relation to
the great question for the annexation Of Texas TO
the U. s., have been, most prolific source OF inisre-
presentation, but am fully prepared 10 prove that /,
more than any other man, saved the measure from
defeat at the last session of Congress. l shall set
out for Alabama in n few weeks, with view to re-
main until the meeting of the Legislature, as am
resolved to submit my whole course to the Impair
tal decision of the General Assembly of the State
of Alabama and let them decide whether ]. or my
revilers, have been most at fault. Indeed, cannot
resist the conclusion that the persecution directed
against me IN regard to this question, forms one OF
the most remarkable cases in Me history OF public
men. voted in favor of the measure in every form
in which il was presented upon which vote was
taken; defended the government and people ofTcx-
as against the caluBny. that unless they were ad-
mittei on their own terms, and ut their own time,
thew would transfer themselves TO England, and f.
nav saved the measure of annexation when my vote
would have defeated it. But will not trouble you
further al present, as shall furnish you, as we'll as
the other members Of the General Assembly, with
AN opportunity of passing impartial and enlightened
Judgment upon the whole case, from examination
Of tho facts and circumstances.
I have the honor TO be, your oh't serv't.

There is furious fight going OH between the edl-
tors of the NJ. Y. Express, Tribune. and Albany
Evening Journal, The quarrel has drawn from the
Journal the following admission that Mr.. Clay was
his own executioner at the late presidential election
"The loss of this state to Mr. Clay is attributable
to two distinct and independent causes. one Of Which
chargeabs TO his friends in The city Of New York
AND THE OTHER TO HIMSELF"
''The patriotic, independent letter of Mr.. Clay,
from Raleigh, NJ c., against the admission of Tex
as into the Union, made perfectly safe issue for
in New York. In an evil hour Mr.. Clay wrote let
Ter to Alabama, saying that slavery had nothing 10
do with the Texas question, and that personally he
had no objection to it's annexation. That fatal let
ter scaled his fate, and deprived the country of a

ExcuANaEs IN kKw ORLkANS.-The money

tions reaching $3.50 900 900 per annum at the port
OF New Orleans. an extraordinary movement OF ''ss -

September, sight bills on New York ranged from

they stand at par TO premium, and have mol varie"
mare than one per cent in the interval. Inc ln-
mense business was transacted in place where t'e
banks have a much larger amount oi specie thal OF
circulation; there il no nntiona bank u" regulator
of any kind except the natural, unrestrained course
of trade and so steady has been the current Of ex-
changes that they have not varied more than one per
cent in n wear! This fact knocks III the head the
Gayorte idea OF the bank men that the commerce OF

notes: and that there is not specie enough III the

! had hopes oIproonging or renewing the charter OF
B,ddle's famous Institution. According to these
gentlemen there could be exchanges between dil,
feren ports OF the Union without such bank, ana
without the great regulator there could be no sound
currency. The wing oracles treated these diets as
axioms self evident and not to be questioned Time
il the greatest of nnoVators, says Lord Bacon, an

shown that Mr.. Clay and his friends were grossly
deceived 10 their notion OF The powers OF National

absence of II grand regulator have proved TO be IN
! founded and false. Tire currency has not been 81
steady and sound during the last twenty years NJ
il is at the present moment--and exchanges, since
the explosion of The banking system, have been
equabe beyond all former example.
