The Central National Bank and Citi'
zens' Savings Bank Building.
tFrom the columbia Carollnian.]

We learned on Saturday that the directors
had awarded the contract for their new pulld,
inp to Mr.. Clark Warlng, and with lls usual
promptness and energy he has already com.
menced work upon the splendid building, re-
Gently projected by the Central National Bank,
OF this city, and the Citizens Savings Bank OF
South Carolina, on the corner OF Main and
Plain streets. The structure will be OF Drlck,
with an ornamental iron front, three stories IN
height, above the basement, and surmounted
with Mansard roof
The first story for G depth on Plain streeG, OF
seventy.fve feet, will be occupied Dy tne zen.
tral National Bank. having an entrance on tne
corner of the building. The basement tor q
like depth will be occupied oy tne ClClzens,
Savings Bank. with entrance on Main and
Plain streets; whole depth OF building one nun
dred and fifty feet. The vaults OF both banks
will be situated In the basement and will be
perfect in all the essentials Of convenience and
secl,rity. The second and third floors will be
admirably adapted to office purposes, and we
understand many rooms are already engaged
bv some of our most popular insurance and
oIher companies. The plan Of The building
has been carefully selected as combining con.
veuieuce oil interior with rattractiveness OF
exterior. We hail this enterprise as a bright
harblnger Of the future of our city, and trust
that many such buildings will arise to attract
capital and to adorn our streets already 80
rapidly putting on metropolitan appearance,
and aiording gratifying evidence OF the good
time coming"
The ability of these banks to carry such an
enterprise into execution speaks we'll for theil
management, and is conclusive OF the fact
that money may be as proftably and safely In
vested In Columbia as anywhere.

SALE OF CONFEDERATE ARoHIERs.
A Singular Story.

1t is said that the Treasury Department has
paid to Colonel john T. Pickett, formerly Of
the Confederate army, (not Aajor-General
PIckett,) $4,000 for data for the rebeltar-
Chlves, which he held In bis possession as attor-
ney for certain parties In Canada. The Wash
lDgton correspondent of the New York Til
bune adds: 81 ",.;a shT
1t Is also further stated that this large sum
was paid by the special order of Secretary
Boutwell,, who, In conjunction with other
members of the administration, is OF the opin-
ion that beside the primary object OF protect
Ing the treasury frem the elaine Of bogus
Southern Union men, they can also be used
for political effect In the South during the
pending campaign, and in the intere5e8f Gen.
eral Grant. These archives or department
files have somewhat singular history. When
the military operations In front Of Richmond
assumed that threatening character, which
finally ended in the evacuation OF the city,
these archives were sent to North Carolina Tor
safe-keepiDg. There they fell into the hands
of some irresponsible persons, who. amid the
CONSERVATION attending the downfall OF the
Confedercy, escaped with them TO Canada.
where they have been kept and used for yarl-
GUS speculative purposes anll the present
time. Whatever these papers may contain
relative 10 Greeley's peace negotiation, and
which have not yet been published, Will now
be doled out through the various Grant organs,
OF the country, and whatever eject they may
also have In intmidating prominent men In
the South will also be fully tried. nyr 'a.:; ral
