JSFFERsoN's LATEST OPINION ON SLAVERY.
To the Editor of the Tribune: Sir,-The
late DR.. Alexis Caswell, ex-president OF
Brown University, gave the writer in a re-
cent interview Renaissance Of Thomas
jefferson, which may claim some historical
interest. On the occasion OF a visit to
Monticello, Mr.. .Caswell was invited by the
then venerable statesman to view the dis
tant scenery at sunset. Pointing TO the
Blue Ridge mountains, Jefferson, said,
"There is the backbone and kidney-fat OF
this continent, but for one thing" "Doyou
mean slavery?" Yes" said Jefferson
an answer which DR.. Caswell held OF sig
nifcance, because it has been asserted that
Thomas Jefferson abandoned late in life the
aversion to slavery which he had earlier
expressed. DR.. Caswell had made no record
of this incident, hence this note.

small size doated down, but the moderate
temperature of the. atmosphere tended TO
melt or decrease them, 80 there could be no
fear OF a gorge or blockade.

concerning the much-talked-of person, the
oldest living Freemason in the United

Joined the order in 1915 and another who
Joined it in 1916. We submit that it is
risky for one to assert. who is the Oldest
Frecmason living, but we send you the
name Of the Freemason Of the longest stand
ing we know Of, and we invite information
from those who know Of any man who has
been longer member of the order.
Colonel Reuben Hayes Green (born in

SUGGESTION. si5 ).
+ In my opinion, main necessity for
clerical assistance in this office arises from
the fact that the Executive is q member OF
numerous official boards, some OF which in
volve much responsibility, and require at
his hands time and labor. The Executive
duties Of this class are far greater than un-
der any previous, Constitution. IL the
Executive were relieved 2of these labors,
and If the performance OF oil kinds Of
routine Office. .drudgery were deemed COM
patible with his higher duties, he might in
that case dispense with all clerical assistance,
except during. occasional periods OF more
than ordinary business pressure. But /
should forbear to submit any recommends
ton on the subject of such rearrangement
desirable. Drawing near to the close of my
Official term, should deem it, ii not indeli-
cate, at least ungenerous to my successor,
to propose such permanent changes in the
management of the minor details Of his Of
fee as might be unacceptable to him, and in
regard to which his wishes could only be
conjectured.
In relation to the general object Of the re-
solution to which this message is re-
sponse, and as regards its manifest design
to retrench the public expenses, take oc-
casion to say that it has my cordial approval
and support. As germane to the general
subject Of the resolution, and as illustrating
the practicable character OF my efforts In
that direction, transmit herewith a sum-
mary of the annual disbursements from the
civil contingent fund-that being the class
OF expenditures over which the Executive
has more direct control than any other.

the sort OF bill they want that can stand
the test Of the courts. In this respect there
is the very widest diversity Of opinion,
