The Commissioners sim- ply made numerous inquiries with regard to | the means and legal rignts of the company to | dulld these additions to the road, and the repre- | sentatives of the company gave them the Infor- mation required. The company took the ground | shat under their special charter they nad aright | to build ail these extensions if the Commissioners gave them the routes for which they asked. THE RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. In the course of the conversation it was stated by the company’s counsel that they could build a “one-legged” road on the east siae tur as low $140,000 per mile. The Commissioners sald thas before giving them a route for an east side road they must Know what other plans the company would fix upon, 0 as to prevent any conflict be- tween various enterprises. The question of cars was then broached, the Commissioners say- | ing they would grant no route if they were not | vonvinced beforehand that the company had the means to build the road in conformity with its | proposals.

The guarantees which they gave to the Commissioners 1n this re- gard were necessarily of a private nature, but | from conversation with those gentlemen it was | learned that the proofs of the finanvial ability of | the company to carry out the work proposed were | entirely satisfactory to them. They expressed | themselves as perfectly willing to grant the com. | pany every tacility in their power, and concluded | to give the company another hearing so: day | .bext week. Meanwhile the latter will haYe an | opportunity to determine upon aroute for its | east side road and to perfect other details of its ; plans. | Mr. Cowen, the secretary, when questioned by | the writer, said that it was the company’s in‘en- | tion to build at first a one-legged road on the east | side, and, by and by, to build the other track. If | the Commissioners were unable to give them the | route they asked for then they would take some | other which those gentlemen would see fit to | designate. The eXtension to the Park on the west side was to have been finished by the 1st of | October, but the contractors have obtained a | prolongation of time till As regards the other works proposed, the com- pany willgo on with allof them at one time as | boon as se Commissioners of Rapid Transit have | granted the routes, | HOUSTON AND DERRICK’S PLAN. | ‘The following 1s a Julldescription of the Houston | and Derrick plan jor an elevated ratiroaa of | either two er jour tracks, It is claimed thata | large number of reputable engineers of this city | have eXamined tt and approved of ail its princi- pal features.

Emanuel De Mott voarded in the same house with Carimonte, the notorious counterielter and criminal, Who was sent to the Peuitentiary for felonious assault, for a term of seven years, few months ago. Garimonte was arrested once on a charge oi complicity With the gang of ceunterfeit- ers Who bad their place of business on Frankun avenue, Brookiyn, in Jaly and August,1874. he was also suspected of being concerned ia the murder of Salvador Torrino, Wno was found murdered in #@ Vacant lot on Hayward street on the nigat of Augost 12, 1874, The murdered man was known, irom certain papers subsequently found, to be the leader of a band Of Italian coiners, asd it 1a pre- sumed thas they fell out with o1m on the division of spolis aud revenged themseives by taking Dis life, Many Italians were arrested by the police and examined oelore Coroner Wattenill.

Carimonte, more acclimated to crime m all 18 shades, if his record speaks truly, remained behind bis com. and ‘though he couid not be convicted of counterfeiting in the examination, or of the muroer from lack of evidence, ne jell under ti ban of the law in another way. In May last he stabbed an Itallan, tor whicn offence he is now in sale keeping. The police, on searcatng the Frank- lin avenue den shortly alter tue murder of Tor. rino, found very finely executed presses, dies, Stones, &c., lor printing flity-cent currency stamps, The werk Was most artistic, and was well calculated bo deceive the most astute judges of money, ‘They fatied to track the gang, or, at all events, to convict them, Itmay be now that te tates are with them, and® tnat ti will be able to connect the two operation that of commage and currency engraving an printing.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. ‘HIS “MEMOIRS” STATEMENT IN REFERENCE TO PATRICK HENRY—DID THE GREAT ORATOR ACTUALLY PROPOSE THAT AMERICA SHOULD SUBMIT TO GREAT BRITAIN ? To THE Epiror oF THE HERALD:— My attention nas been called to a review of the “Memoirs of John Quincy Adams’ which appeared in your issue of tue 19th of June jast, in which an exiract from Mr. Adams’ diary is give, contain- ing a statement made by Joun Taylor in reference to Patrick Henry so entirely new and so re- markable that the reviewer very properly invites bisterical inquiry in reterence to it Colonel Taylor 1s reported by Mr. Adams as say- ing on the 21st of March, 1824, “that in the cam- Daign in 1781 Henry actually proposed, in secret session ofthe Legisiature of Virginia, that she should be the first to submit to Great Britain, in order that she might obtain tne most favorable terms.” Mr. Adams further notes in his diary, as derived from the same source, that “Tayior was himself & member of the Legislature,’ and heard bim move to go into secret session, then make the proposition and support it by an eloguent speech, It mes with such immediate indignant and universal oppo- Sition that when the debate closed he had changed his side and was among the most ardent and most sanguine for perseverance in the war. ‘Taylor thinks ‘here is a great exaggeration in the Panegyric upon Henry by Mr. Wirt, and says that Henry haa much less efficient agency 1n the Revo- lution thaa many others.” At ine time of this conversation Colonel Taylor, familiarly known im Virginia as “Jonn Taylor, of Carole,” was at least seventy-twe years old, and Mr. Adams repre- sents him as “low in health and feebie,” He un- dertook, however, to give an incident in the life of Patrick Henry, whieh ne said occurred torty- three years betore, ana which has never been re- lated by any other’person, so tar as the world Knows, though there were many witnesses, and which 1s utterly incorsistent with the character of Mr, Henry. As 1s plainly indicated in the latter part ef the quotation above Colonel Taylor was not an admirer of Patrick Henry. Indeed, it may be said that his life was one of continual political hostility toward tim, Colonel Taylor was the county mam and protégé of Edmund Pendleton, who was the leader of the aristocratic party in Virginia and the constant opponents of the advanced aud popu- Jar party, of wich Patrick Henry was the acknowledged head, It will be remembered that it was the conduct of Mr. Pendleton while a mem- ber of the Committee of Safety that caused Patrick Henry to resign his commission as Colonel of the Virginia troops. After the close of tne war Colonel Taylor ana Mr. Henry found themselves further apart in politics than ever, Mr. Henry opposed the adoption of the federal constitution in ts unamended form, but alter its adoption faithfully periormed his promise to support it as the government chosen by tne people. Colonel Taylor took A VERY DIFFERENT VIEW of his obligations. As early as the spring of 1798 he wasan avowed disuntenist, as we learn from a letter of Thomas Jefferson to him, dated June 1, 1798. Im the fall session of the Virginia Legis- jature of that year he moved the famous resolu- tions known as the Resolutions of '98 and ’99. The passage of these resolutions alarmed Mr, Henry so much for the future of the Union that he determined again to enter public life in order tocombat what he considered their dangerous doctrines, He was teo much enfecbled by disease, however, for the conflict, and death preventea him from taking his seat in the Legisiature of his State. When it was ascertained that Mr. Henry was striving for a seat in the Legislawure in order to oppose the docrines advanced in these resolutions he was assailed with a rancor and bitterness which have been seldom witnessed in the mistory of politics. Because he had opposed the adoption of tne fede- ral constitution it was claimed that he ought to have supported the view of (hat instrument put forth by Jonn Taylor and his party, Enraged be- cause he refused to deny to the federal govern- ment tne powers that he warned them it pos- sessed when he opposed its aaoptios, they cenoenced him as an apostate, sought to attri- bute to him mercenary motives, and followed to the grave with every species of detraction him whom they had once acknowledged as the leading Spirit in the cause of liberty. Even the sanctity of the grave failed to protect him, and long alter his spirit haa passed beyond their reach they de- lighted to wage war upon bis memory. . Prominent in this party was Jon Taylor, or Caroline, conspicuous no less for his intellect than for bis bitter party spirit.

Aad Patriek Leury been inclined to peage on the te of suvmission an opporcunity had been alto: betore this time, While ke was Governor of the State, when the prospect was tar mo gloomy, ana the British Peace Commissioners aad actually made a direct proposai fo treat with Virginia separately. How indignuntly be ana the Legislature had rejected the proposal is a mattet ol history, Colonel Taylor could nave selected na man as the mover of this resolution who would have done more violence to his character 1 moving it than Patrick Henry, In the language of John Adams, he was cutitled to “tne glory ol beginning this great Revolution.” He had been the first tu take up arms in Virginia, bad con stantly led the iront rank of the patriots in all their ensures, and if nis contemporacies are ta be believed (John Taylor excepted), neve; terec in vhe struggle for independent The founder ot Colouel Taylor's party, Thomas Jetfer- son, testified abundautiy to this. Not long after Colonel Tayior related this Incident to Mr. Adams Mr, Jefferson entertained Daniel Webster at Mon- ticello, and conversed freely with him of the Revos lution, In speaking of Patrick Henry to Webster he suid:—‘tHe was as well suited to the times a8 any man ever was; and it is not now easy to Bay Wuat we snouid have done without Patrick Heary, He was far before us allin maintaining THE SPIRIT OF THE REVOLUTION, His influence was most eXtensive with the members from the upper counties, and his bol ness and their votes overawed and controlled t more cvol or tke Inore timid, aristocratic gentle- mea of the lower part of the State.” lt is hardly possivle that the persen described by Jefferson shoud have counseiled submission at a time when ho other member of the House would even hear of it patienuy; for Colonel Taylor tells us that the preposition ‘met with “immediate, Indig- nant and universal oppositio 5 Ml any- thing is tue starement taat the tnd, sponding mover chadsed bis views duriog the debate, an became one of “the most ardent and most sane guine tor perseverance im the war.’ Aud this the man, too, Who Was so distinguished a leader in the Legislature that he is described by Mr, Maaison aud Others as omuipotent in that body. COLONEL TAYLOR'S DEPREQLATION of Patrick Henry's “eilicient agency in the Revo- lution”? 1s completely answered vy Mr. Jeiferson in the same conversation with Webster, for he adaed:—"Alter uli 1t must be allowed that be was our leader in tue measures of the Revolution in Virgiula, and im that respect more isdue to him than to any other person. If we nad net bad him we should probably pave got on pretty well, as you did, by a number of men ol nearly equal tale ents; but he Jeft allofus far behind.” It cannot be viewed without the gravest suspicion that this caarge Of Colonel Tayior was not made daring the liletime of Patrick Henry or of auy other mem- ber ot tne Legislature of 1751, 80 lar aa we know, and that it was never made publicly at any time. Had not Mr Adams preserved it in nis diary it would, in ali prebabil- ity, have been lost to the world.

Very strong and unusual measures were pressed upon the Legisla. ture by taose who were determined to protect (he Stave at all hazards, ana Mr. Henry was foremoss along these. Insome deoate it is possible that Mr. Henry may have syurred om tne timid and halting mem. bers by declaring thac it would be better to: submit to Great Britain at once than to submit to their present destruction of property witmeus taking adequate measures to prevent it, ‘The effect of Such a suggestion as an alternative would vatarally have veen to preduce greeter upauimity, and the object of the speaker woald have been thus aceomplisned, From some suca incident as this Colonel Taylor, in lis Od age, emoitvered against Mr. Henry and disposed to depreciate him, migut bave con structed the Stavement made to Mr. Adams, Very respectiully, WILLIAM WIRT HENRY, RicHMoND, Va., July 21, 1875.
