In a conversation which took place be-
tween Gen. Grant and others just before
the Supreme Court of Mississippi rem
dered its election decision, he said :
Il begin to think that it is time for
the republican party to unload. There
has been too much dead weight carried
by it. The success of our arms during
the rebellion and the confidence that the
republican party was strong enough to
hold up any burden, have imposed all
the disaffection in the Gulf States on the
administration. / am tired of this non
sense. Let Louisiana take care of her
self, as Texas will have to do. don't
aoant any quarrel about Mississippi State
matters to be referred to me. This nursing
of monstrOsities has nearly exhausted the
life of the party / am done with them,
and they will have to take care of them
selves.
Wo have not tire renotost idea that
the Administration would have interfered
to have overruled decree of our Su-
preme Court, no matter ,Uhat 1t might
have been.

WHAT ALCOHOL WILL Dot
may seem strange, but it is never
theless true, that alcohol applied
to a thrifty farmers stomach, will
remove the boards from the fence,
let cattle into his crops, kill hia
fruit trees mortgage his faF,p, and
SOW his field with wild oats and
thistles. It will take the paint of
his building, break the glass out Of
the windows and ell them with
rags. It viii take the gloss from
his clothes and the polish from his
manners, subdue his reason, abuse
his passions, bring sorrow apd dis
grace upon his family, and topple
him into a drunkardis grave. It
viii do this to the artisan and the
hematron and the maid
en-, az we'll as the farmer; for, in it's
deadly enmity to the human race
alcohol is no respector Of persons.

THE CONFEDERATE
ARCHIVES 8HOK.

ago the Southern Claime Commission
in pursuance Of authority from Con-
gress, recommended the purchase of a
large amount Of rebel archives which
were then in the possession of a per-
son in Canada and that finally these
archives were purchased for seventy
five thousand dollars. It appears now
that these papers and documents are
to prove Of incaloulable benefit in
making up the truthful history Of the
late rebellion, and, to place them in
historic, authentic form, it only re-
quiresa true historian-an American
Macaulay, possibly-who shall have
free access to the proper departments,
to give to the public the substance Of
the valuable documents. just at this
moment there is a subject of vast i'm
portance to be considered by Con-
gress, in which, to obtain intelligent
action, the publicity Of the rebel ar
chives would aid materially. The
Geneva award had been attacked in
England by leading statesmen, appar
rently differing from the then domin-
ant party in Great Britain, upon the
ground, as alleged, that great injustice
had been done the Epg1ish govern
ment in the arbitration. No clear
statement Of the facts on which this
position was based has been published.
It now appears from the rebel archives
the correspondence of Mason, 6lidel
and other representatives Of the South
ern confederation, that the British
government was absolutely opposed
to any countenanoo or recognition Of
the movement to dissolve the union;
that Mason tried in vain for over q
year to get an audience With the then
premier Of England for the purpose Of
presenting his case and demanding re-
cogniton Of helligerept rights; and
that he left London in disgust and re-
paired to Paris to confer With Slidel.
There they INST with more encourage
