Mr.. Z. 4. Pollard applied recently to the
Secretary of War for permission to examine
the archives of the Confederate Government.
now in the custody of the War Department
He was refused, and now publishes an angry
letter. complaining of the "despotism" of the
Secretary. and arguing that no writer ought to
be declared from bureau having the same
"relation to the public as Government library
" or museum, simply and solely on the ground
that he was a Southerner, or that he intended
"to write on the Southern side of historical
Question" Here we think Mr. Pollard has
made mistake. The Government archives
are not public library. 1t is easy to under
stand why access ought not TO be indiscrimln-
atelv allowed to them. The Government must
exercise its own discretion in opening them to
particular persons; and we certainly see no
reason why the United States should assist Mr..
Pollard in the preparation of book which 1t
is natural to suppose will be hostile to the
Government. "The next step" says Mr.. Pol
lard. "may be TO exclude unhappy Rebels
from the Congressional Library, the Smith
sonan Institute, and indeed from al the
"public bounties of literature and art" Not
at all; this case would be very different.
Secretary Schofeld has not debarred Mr. Pol
land from an ordinary privilege he has politely
refused him an extraordinary favor Perhaps
the LOYAL cause would be advanced by encourag-
ing Mr.. Pollard TO write as many books as
possible but the Secretary was quite Justliiablc

Judge Sutherland made an elaborate order
yesterday, defining the duties and responsible
ties of ex-Judge Davies as Receiver of the
Erie Railroad. Meantime the Receiver seems
to have gained access to the Erie Building
only by accident, and to have come very near
a fOrcible ejectment by the wrathful parties in
possession. This being Thanksgiving Day, we
may well give thanks that another turn to the
legal screw in the Erie matter will be imDOs-
sible for full period of twenty four hours.
