VALUABLE PAPERS.-A Washington let
ter IN the New York Journal Of Commerce
says:
"Under the late acts of Congress the Jelier-
son and Madison papers have been offered TO the
Secretary of State and they are TO be published
by the Government, The Jefferson papers are
volumnous Besides territorial and political
disquisitions and correspondence, they embrace
treatises on moral aud religious topics, and par
ticularly a comment on the life and character of
ST. Paul.
"Mr. Jefferson was, perhaps, more careful Of
papers than any man that ever lived, except
the late John @. Adams. Mr. Jefferson kept
copies Of every paper that he ever wrote, even
on the most triding subject He Invented a
copying press, and had several made in France
One that he much used is now extant and in
The hands of a gentleman in Richmond
Equally careful he was in preserving every pa
per that lie ever received. His papers, and
those Of Mir. Madison, are in admirable order.
1.-The Madison papers lately purchased, and
soon TO b. published, are, by far, the most yau-
able of any which the Government have yet OBJ
tanned. or can obtain. They are replete with
valuable information concerning the origin and
principles Of our Gov, rument and will show,
if, indeed, any further eyidcn e is wanting OF
the fact, that to Mr.. Madison we chiefly in.
debted for the adoption Of our happy frame of
Government.
1.-The Hamilton papers, also authorized to De
purchased, have not yet been placed at the dis.
posal OF the Secreiar. Of State.
The papers left BY the late cx.President
Monroe have been collected and prepared Tor
the press, and ,heir publication will, no doubt,
be encouraged by the Government. They are
said 10 be very valuable and interesting. They
embrace a treatise on the elementary principles
of Government, as written by Mr. Monroe in
retirement, aud not long prior TO his death; aud
an auto biography of his public life up to the
year 1903"

VIRGINIA.


Yesterdays Wing ulters Two voices on the
subject. In one article il "hopes" that Virginia
will 90 for Taylor-in another it has mot inc
slightest doubt" Of il.
We leel more confident than ever that virginia
will sustain the Democracy BY hanlsone u"
ioriiy. The result IN Powhatan exhibits inc
spill, of Eastern Virginia Democracy. Inc
Union has most cheering letters from Northwest
ern yifsinia-and, as Tor Little Tennessee we
refer 10 the letter below from cooi-hedueu'
highly intelligent and every way reliable source
The Union also publishes letter from ADlnS-
don which gives the probable vote IN eacn coun'
,v-makjDs the Democratic majority in the Dis
lricl 1900.
To the Editors of The Enquirer: ,o.o
ABINGDON, Va Oct q, l64o:
As your object seems 10 b., 10 ooiain eo'Iese III
formation from this part OF The STATE, | take me
liberty Of writing you lew lines. ne Lsanoc
racy here are fully aroused 10 their duty, ana
will give good account OF themselves ID The
approaching election. A finn and determined
spirit is manilesling itself in The MASSES, anu
think there will be very general turn ON. no
pains are being spared, as lar as can earn D., III
any part OIL the ulSViC, ~ s"''
best informed amoneS US, estimate the maJ9liy
for Cass and Butler in this Congressional DIS
trio, at LOO. This does not equal our vote OF
IA, which was between 81 and ~ hundred
Tha, was an unusual majority: then we had
Texas and Oregon inscribed upon our banners;
then we had mass meetings upon mass meetings,
and The warmest cnihlsiasmp ervaded every part
of The districl-then We had party 10 contend
with, now We have no party. These causes may
diminish orr majority 10 some extent; oul De as
sured, that Democracy never was IN sounder
condition in this part OF The State than al his
time. Taylorism has effected nothing for The
Wings in this part OF the State. Oar majority
would have been diminished 10 the same extent,
let who would have been the Wing candidate
In Wy,ne county Tor example, The Wings have
made I40 more woes since 1914, than The Demo-
Gratis. The same thing mas been done, 10 less
extent, in other counties. II IS iron data such
a. these, itat our calculations are made, and II
is in this way that we are 10 sustain our losses
You need have no fears for Little Tennessee.
We have gone into battle with gloves OFT Our
noble banner is floating in the breeze, and viii
no, be taken down, until victory IS Inscribed up
on lis ample folds.
In king my estimate OF the result, have
endeayored 10 lay aside party bias and 10 iuT-
nish You as nearly as possible, with the Stale OF
things as they crist.
Very respectfully, yours, sc.
