JEFFERSON DAVIS AND THE CONFEDERATE
ARcHIvEs.-A correspondent of the Galveston
Ne,cs writes from New Orleans:
1t has been published in the North that the
Grant Government has come into possession OF
documents of startling character, and that
they are to see theAaght, and ere expected to
produce intense excitement. They are said to
unfold secret plan of the Confederate author
ities- I'D burn Northern cities. Mr.. Davis has
spoken of this to friend. He wishes the pre-.
tended documents to be published. He is not
afraid for any document to which he and his
Cabinet gave their assent to be placed before
the public. He says no such plan ever went
from the executive Office, or from any officer in
charge of department of the Confederate
Government; that if anything of the sort has
been discovered it will prove to be forgery,
OTTO have emanated from parties having no
connection with the Confederate Government.
It must be remembered that when Colonel
Dahlgren and his command were captured they
had in their possession papers which showed
the objects of their expedition-the capture OF
Richmond, the killing of MIR. Davis and his
Cabinet, &C. With these facts before him,
Mr.. Davis positively refused to sanction any
retaliatory measures, and gave strict orders to
have the party treated as prisoners of war.
He always took high ground upon questions
which touched npon the usages of civilized
warfare. He urged the acceptance of these
usages with the broadest and most liberal in
terpretation admissible. He never backed
down from that position during the war. Such
being the case, it is not credible that he could
have approved mode of warfare which recog-
nized incendiarism as legitimate. Let the
Grant men produce the documents. Let the
world see them, and they will prove to be for
geries or the absurd plans of Radicals, fools,
or towards. 1t is rather late for the man who
can WELD the sword, the drumhead court-mar-
tial, and other inventions known to tyrants, to
attempt TO raise another storm of Indignation
and bitter sectional feeling, and thus to secure
bis reelection.

VALIDITY OF DEBTS INCURRED FOR SALE
OF SLAvEs.-The Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States decided at the last session, in the
cases of White vs.. Hart and Osborne vs. Mich
olson, that notes given for the purchase OF
slaves could still be enforced.
Chief Justice Chase has directed a dissent to
be entered for him from such judgment, on
the grounds:
1. That contracts for the purchase and sale
of slaves were and are against sound morals
and natural JUSTICE and without support, ex-
cept in positive law.
9 That the laws of the several States by
which alone slavery and slave contracts could
be supported, were annulled by the Thirteenth
Amendment of the Constitution, which abol-
ished slavery.
g. That thenceforward the common law of
all the States was restored to its original prnci-
pies of liberty, justice and right, in conformity
with which some of the highest courts of the
late slave States, notably that of louisiana,
have decided, and all might on the same prin-
ciple decide slave contracts to be invalid, as
inconsistent with their jurisprudence, and this
court has properly refused to interfere with
those decisions.
4. That the clause in the Fourteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution which forbids COM
pensation for slaves emancipated by the Thir-
teenth can be vindicated only on these princi-
pies.
5. That clauses in State Constitutions, Acts
of State Legislatures, and decisions of State
Courts, warranted by the Thirteenth and Four
teenth Amendments, cannot be held void as IN
violation of the original Constitution, which
forbids the States to pass any law violating the
| obligation of contracts.

A Model Carpet. .Bagger.

We believe that it is generally conceded that
Gov. Scott is q rascal, and that, in affiliation
with other rascals, he and his confreres, black
and white, have burthened South Carolina with
an enormous debt, impoverished the people
and enriched themselves. There was time,
and that not long ago, when Governor Scott
contemplated following the example of Bull
lock of Georgia. He made his preparations
for quitting the State but receiving the assu-
RANGES of support from Washington he con-
cluded to remain and brazen it out. The sharp
trick by which he defeated the impeachment at
the last session of the Legislature cannot be
forgotten neither could it be very successfully
tried over again. 1t is now probable that ne
will give way at the next election to a success
sor, there being already half dozen gubernato-
rial candidates in the field.
This man, twelve or fifteen years ago, drifted
from somewhere into "the little e-horse town
of Florida" Henry county, Ohio, where he set
up for Doctor. He was quack Of the first
water. He had never graduated-never at
tended medical lectures But in that primitive
region he managed to pick up small practice,
and if any of his patients died under his empi-
rical hands, so much the worse for the patients.
During this time, says recent biographer, me
was q candidate for Justice of the Peace, but
was beaten in his township where his party had
majority" He subsequently-such was the
ambitious nature of this quack-ran for Coun-
ty Treasurer and was beaten again. he next
went into the dry goods trade in "the little
one-horse town." and afterwards at Napoleon,
in the same county, where he presently became
bankrupt, failing SO utterly that his creditors
got nothing. The breaking out of the war
fioated him, as food floats all sorts of drift
wood. He was pretentious and plausible, man
ared to get Internationally got to be
brigadier general, and when the war closed,
was appointed through the congenial auspices
of Impeacher Ashley, of Holt and Conover no.
toriety-to take charge of the Freedman's Bu-
reau at Charleston, s. c., and in 1868 the ne
groes elected him Governor of that Slate. Since
then, like his associate, Niles G. Parker, he has
been busily engaged in improving his opportu-
mites. He is now reputed to be worth million
of dollars; has bought, since he became Gov
ernor, a large amount of real estate in Henry
county, Ohio, and in the adjacent counties; is
part owner. of thousands of acres of land in
Northern Michigan, and is now building for
himself a fine brick mansion at Napoleon,
Ohio, where his family continue to reside for
six months of the year. He has also "other
valuable property in the town, including tav..
ern stand" Finally, che drinks whiskeey and
CANDLES largely for money" Such is the his
tory of the model carpet-bagger of South Caro-
lina.-Baltin,ore Gazette.

A nice young girl at Green Bay, Wiscon-
sin, was being courted by a nice young man.
He was generously inclined, and made her pres
ents of hair oil, which he purchased from the
store of the father of his adored. After giving
her some twenty bottles of the oleaginous fluid,
he found that he was working in circle-as
fast as he presented them she returned them to
the store, thus dutifully making trade for her
father, No car,ls.
