His Part in the Declaration OF Indcpcnd-
ence or I775.
To the Editor ofTHE REPUBLICAN:
Since you have copied the Ne,O York Suns synop-
sis Of an essay read by Mr.. George H. Moore, of the
Lenox Library, in which he says that the claim
that Thomas Jefferson was the author of the mo,i
important of the Declaration on Taking up Arms
in 1775 was made public only after both Jcflers II
and Dickinson were in their graves" and that the
existence of the original document just produced
and contributed to the Historical Society, In John
Dickensons hand writing, "proyes him to have
been the sole author of that document" permit
me TO repeat In your paper, with slight additions,
what contributed TO- the San of June 0.
In Jehersolis autobiography Works, vol ], n
IL, he says of the aforesaid declaration OF IT'S.
prepared a draft OF the declaration committed to
rs. II was too strong Tor Mr.. Dckenson. lie stu
retained the hope of reconciliation with the mother
country and was unwilling II should be lessened by
so able that he was INDUCED even by those who
could not feel his scrupes. We therefore requested him
TO take the paper and put IL into form lie could APP
prove Ho did So preparing an entire new statement
and preserving of the former only the last four para
graphs and half OF the preceding one Meapproved
and reported 10 to Congress, who accepted H.
JefIersons biographer, d, l.. Rayner, 1881, p. 49,
says of this document:
II IL worthy of remark that while oil historians
have concurred IN a5crlbng the entire production 70
Mr. Dckenso9 they have AZ the same time generally
Is II not apparent, therefore, that Mr.. Moore il
mistaken in denying to Jefferson any part In that
dOcument2 Aud though II may be technically
true that the claim of Jeitersons authorship of the
most important part OF IT, re-, the conclusion, was
not made public till after his death, yet here We
have 1t in his autobiography, dated January 6
1871 more than five years before his death.

The first intimation he had that anything unusual

commotion lasted probably not over three min
utes, when the waves subs.ded, and the matter
thrown up, or portions OF 1t, nonted down the
stream discoloring the water SO that 1t could be
seen plainly clear 10 the Aqueduct Bridge, Some
Nj. ofiey, described the Odor as being very Of
fensive, and, in appearance, resembling mud and
dead leaves. Mr.. Paul, resident here, says he

Trouble mt the printing ONCE.

A number of men at the Government Printing
Office worked last Monday morning between IL
midnight and a. mr. and charged, according to
the Union rules sixty cents an hour. Foreman
Brian, however, had the time slips changed, on
the ground that the law distinctly stated that "the
price paid for composition shall not be greater
than forty cents per hour or fry cents per thou
sand ems" aud he would therefore allow no
greater charge to be paid. This decision caused
an inclination among the men to strike and 1t Is
rumored that they will not agree to take the lower
ratio of pay. II has hitherto been the custom to
charge certain class of matter" rule and
figure work double price. or 81 per thou
sand ems, but since the action of the men in de-
manding sixty cents per hour for time after II
o'clock at night the authorities of the Office have
been debating whether or not they were author
lied under the law to pay that price, and have
arrived ut the conclusion that such action Is ille-
gal and Will presently cease TO pay Tint.
