We copy the conclusion Of an editorial
article from the Donaldsonyille Chicf:
In proof of our assertion that the Liberal
Republicans of Louisiana will not support
the fusion ticket, intelligence reaches us
every day from various portions of the
State of their absolute refusal to indorse it.
The white element of the class will not ac
cord their aid to the men who have SO bit
terly denounced them even to within pc
Rod of a few weeks, while the colored ele-
ment views with distrust the men who have
ostracised and abused their tried and faith
iul friends. Even the more fair-minded and
liberal of tue original Democrats who Joined
the Liberal movement are displeased with
The terms Of fusion, because all the adyan-
tage has been gained by the McEneryites,
while the larger party to the fusion has
been accorded the little end of the trade.
If a Liberal Republican State convention
is called and puts forth ticket 81 men
with good records, who are in favor of the
paying Of all legal obligations of the Stata
and who have not shown themselves 10 NJ
doubtful upon the matter Of ACCORDING to
all men their equal rights and privileges
before the law, il not successful it will at
least save the disaiiected colored vote for
Greeley and Brown, aud exercise a healthy
influence upon the other tickets in the field
But we shall sec what we shall see.

EmbaIming Dead Bodies.


S)r. John A. Mitchell, the discoverer of a
new process for embalming dead bodies,
has just received letters patent for his in
VentiOn, and will take immediate steps to
introduce it to common use. 1t has been
thoroughly tested, and will undoubtedly
accomplish all that is claimed for it. The
invention consists Of an apparatus embrace
&ng cylindrical body holder, a semi cylin-
drical ice receptacle, chest or box to CON
tain chemicals, tubes for the connection of
bellows Herewith to force cold air and
chemical spray and fumes over the body,
and embalm the same, and tubes for the
escape of moisture and nOxious calculations.
The process of embalming by this appa-
5atus j. as follows: The ice chest is first
filled with ice and closed tightly, and the
body inclosed within it's holdeloor case, after
which the bellows-a rotary kind pre-
terred--is connected and worked from
half to an hour and half, according to the
size of the body, BY this means a current
of air is forced Though the ice and cooled
thereby, and brought in contact with the
body, driving therefrOm all the animal heat,
moisture and gases. The chemical trough
is now filed with composition of alcohol,
snlphurie ether, carbOlic acid, corrosive
sublimate, arsenic and ChlOroform, after
which the bellows is again worked
dor half hour or an hour, and the
chemicals thrown over the body in form Of
spray, which fully impregnates it. The
cover of the body case is next removed,
and chemicals of the same nature as those
mentioned poured into said case through
gauze Or perforated shelf, after which the
cover is replaced, the tubes closed alright,
and the body allowed to remain subiect to
the fumes of the chemicals for from ten to
twenty hours. The body will then be per-
loctly embalmed. and may be kept for
great length of time without danger of de-
cayng. The process and apparatus is the
result Of years Of research and study on
the part of DR.. Mitchell, and reflects very
great credit upon his inventive genius. 1t
is certainly destined to be commonly used,
and we trust will result in pecuniary benefit
TO the inventor.

TIE CONFEDERATE Wii!iam j.
Stone recently delivered an Grafton in New
York. In the course Of his remarks he gave
the following bit of information concerning
the disposition which was made Of the Con-
federate archives ut the collapse Of the war:
:" On the morning of Mr.. nWi>'s capture"
SAYS Mr.. Stone, "David Tilsnan waited upon
him at his bedside and said: Mr.. Davis, by
this you may see that the enemy is here; such
and such is the disposition OF the roads. If
YOU come with me you will ne able TO leave
the country in safety. If You do not you
will be captured in tive hours TO this Mr..
Davis replied, CURLY, che knew his own bust
ness best Iiigman continued: Very well,
sir; have been entrusted with the treasure
and archives, and propose to secure them, even
at the peril OF the loss Of your favor and my
life. shall start at once by the way / have
marked OUT" The result is well known.
In less than five hours Mr.. Davis was a
prisoner, but the archives were safe. When,
a few weeks after, in the receSscs of the
forest, Tilgman learned that all NJ: lost, he
alone, with his own hands, buried the trca-
sures and archieves, and unless during the
four years that elapsed between his parting
with me and his untGWard death he revealed
the spot, the secret as TO the whereabouts Of
the archives Is forever buried. As long as
they can be kept from the ken Of man, so
long shall the story be a monument to our
brothers answering fidelity. This is the
true history of the archives Of the Southern
Confedelacy, although rumors are from time
to time set atoat of their being now i'll the
vaults of this bank and now Of that.
IThe above story can hardly be true. The
Confederate Treasurer was in Dauyille more
than a week after the surrender of Rich
mond-that is, on the 18th or ETH of April
redeeming Confederate Treasury notes at the
rate of one dollar in specie for eighty in

EXHIBITIONS OF SORROW FOR THE DECEASED.
The sorrow for the death of Colonel Fisk
among the employees of the various indus
tries whercwith he was identified is touch
ing. The opeIa-hollse Is draped in mourn
ing.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The Tombs and bliss Mansfield's house are
heavily guarded by the police.
Stokes's friends say he was 4 monomaniac
on the subject of the troubles with Fisk, and
that he was in constant apprehension Of being
murdered by Fisk's retainers.
Many physicians condemn the probing Of
Colonel Fisk's bowels for the bullet. They
assert that it fastened, and probably caused,
his death.
Colonel Fisk's death was the chief topic on
Change to-day. Erie declined half per cent.
Thousands of shares changed hands. The
Erie Board passed lalldatory resolutions re-
5arding the deceased.
The movements Of Fisk's body were at
tended by vast crowds.
Members of the Ninth regiment say they
will hang Stokes.
THE FUNERAL.
Colonel Fisk's funeral took place this after

military display, which proceeded from the
Grand Opera House to the New Haven depot.
The remains will be inferred at Brattleboro,
Vermont.
THE INQUEST.
The corone1's inquest was held this after
noon. Mr.. Graham, counsel for Stokes, was
present, and protested that the proceedings
were irregular. He said he wanted to know
if Fisk was entirely unprotected ut the time
