A Cabinet Meeting in a Freight Car.

The Confederate archives in Wash
ington contain very valuable hints as
to the purposes of the Southern leaders
at the close of the war with respect to
the obligations of the Confederacy and
Southern claims. In April, 1866, Jeffer-
son Davis convened his cabinet in a
freight car at Charlotte, N. c., the
Confederacy being then on wheels, to
consider the terms of c~apitulation en-
braced in the Sherman-Johnston prop
osition. Davis then invited each MEM
Der of his cabinet to give his views in
writing upon this subject. These
written opinions, with m or two excep-
tions, are now in the Confederate ar
chives. Below is given the portion of
Post Master General Reagan, who is
at present Congressman from Texas.
Reagan said: Nothing is said in the
agreement about the public debt
and the disposition of public prop
erty beyond the turning over of the
arms to the state arsenal. In the first
adjustment we sh ould endeavor to Sc
cure a provision for the auditing of the
debt of the Confederacy, and for its
paymentin common with the wa debt of
the United States. We may ask this
on the ground that we did not seek
this war, but only sought peaceful sep
aration to secure our people and States
from the effects of unconstitutional en-
croachments by the other States and
because of the principles of equality.
Allowing that both parties had acted in
good faith and gone to war on a misun-
Outstanding, which admitted of no 9TH
er solution, and now agree to a eco
Citation and to a burial of the past, it
would be unjust to compel our people to
assist in the payment of the war debt
of the United States and for them to re-
fuse to allow such Of the revenues as
We might contribute to be applied to
the payment of our creditors. If it
should be said that this is a liberality
never extended by the conqueror to the
conquered, the answer is that the object
of the paciication is to restore the I'm
ion in good faith and to reconcile the
people to each other, to restore conf
dence and prosperity and h~omogeneity

sequence of a failure to afford such
protection We also demand that AL
settlers upon the Shoshone Indian
reservation, in this Territory, shall
be fully compensated for their
improvements, made In good faith
thereon, before being compelled TO va
cate the same; and to encourage and
promote the permanent occupation and
settlement of our Territory, we ASK
that sufficient appropriations be made
by the general government 70 secure
the survey of al public lands within
our limits where occupation and settle
ment is practicable, and especially that
all such lands recently eliminated from
the Shoshone Indian reservation may
be surveyed without delay;
Resolved, That the establishment OF
military posts in the Wind River coun-
try and the extension of settlements
taking place in said country demand
that the Government should at once
construct from some point on the Union
Pacific a wagon road through such
country to the Yellowstone National
mark.

Wyoming Republican Platform.

Resolved, That upon all questions Of
national concern, We cordially endorse
and adopt the platform of principles
recited by the National Republican
Convention held at Cincinnati, and we
earnestly desire the election of the NOM
inees of that convention to the offices
of President and Vice-P President of the
United States, respectively, believing
that such a result would in the present
aspect of affairs be the only safe guar
anty of the permanency Of the American
Union and the prosperity Of every sec
ton of our common country.
Resolved, That we favor home-rule
and self-government in the Territories,
and in the filling Of all offices therein,
including the important Office of Dele
gate in Congress, with honest and COM
petent citizens, selected from actual and
bona fde residents of the Territory;
Resolved, That the introduction of
Chinese labor into this country is
fraught with serious and dangerous
consequences to that system of free Ia
Dor to which the Republican party has
ever been committed and that we
condemn every system and policy in
the Government which deprives Ia
Dor of its dignity; and that the i'm
portation of Cinnamon to this coun-
try has driven out of employment
a large class Of native and foreign-born
citizens; and that it retards theprogress
and development Of the territories; and
that we highly commend the action of
the National Republican Convention
in calling upon Congress to investigate
<l1 oero,k 80 Chs,aoa srarn;oraf,An ,,v>nv,
the laboring classes of this country,
and that the prompt action of Congress
in the matter meets our hearty appro-
val.
Resolved, That we utterly and I'M
uualifedly condemn the whole Indian
policy of the United States-so far as
relates to the practice Of making
treaties with these savage and ~barbarous
tribes-as inconsistent with the sover-
eighty of the government and IS being
puerile in policy anda failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy Of the government
respecting Indian affairs, as will SUBJ
ject these savages at all times to the
efficient and absolute control of the ma
ton, and will at the same time destroy
the Indian ring, its aiders and abet-
tors
Resolved, That we return thanks to
President Grants administration for
the important steps taken to rid the
northern part Of. this Territory of our
old enemies, the Sioux, and that we
cordially approve of its Indian policy as
now being carried out by General
Crook and the brave officers and soldiers
Of his command;
Resolved, That 1t is the duty Of the
government to open to. exploration and
settlement every acre Of the public
domain, and that settlers upon the
public lands Of the United States should
have full protection and every en-
couragement, wherever they may be
We, therefore, believe it to be the duty
Of the United States to fully protec'
such settlers from Indian depreciation
and hostilities, and to indemnity sucl
citizens for all losses sustained In con

PONIES SECURED.

At this time probably 500 or 900
ponies have been secured. This is but
a small portion of the ponies. The
others are either out herding some dis
lance, as is their custom, or have been
driven out on the supposition that they
were to be deprived Of them entirely. ]
think the arms of all kinds that have
been found at this agency VIII not ex-
eeed 100 pieces. This includes rifles,
shot1guns, reyolyers and sabeE. Even
but . very small portion are ~seryiceable
rifles 1t can readily be imagined what
has become of the others that have not
been found There is, however, no
danger of any more arms being carried
by Indians at this agency. The rifles
and ponies they have saved they viii
take good care to keep out of the way
for some time to come.

GEN. SHERIDAN IN WASHINGTON.
He Interviews the President on the Siou,
Question.

New York, Oct. 1st.--The Times
Washington special says:
Gen. Sheridan arrived here last night
and to-day had a long interview with
the President in company with the
Secretary of War and Gen. Sherman.
The purpose Of Gen. Sheridan's visit
was to consult the military authorities
in reference to details Of the campaign
against the hostile Sioux upon which
Gen. Terry is preparing to start. Gen.
Sheridan's presence here has given rise
to reports that he is to be sent to COM
mand troops in the Southern States.
There is no foundation whatever for
such report, nothing in the situation of
affairs requiring his services in that
section. He left tonight for the west.

Among the many valuable lessons

THE North WHEELING DEMOCRATIC
MEET1NG.-One of the largest Demo-
cratic meeting that ever took place in
Washington district, occurred at the cor
ner of Main and Third streets Saturday
night. The meeting had been little ad'

nary sssemblsge was expected. When
the crowd sweled up to
such members AS were there, before the
meeting was called to order, every body
was surprised, and felt very enthusiastic.
After the meeting was organized,
Messrs. Caldwell, Jordan, Ferguson,
Cracralt and PenGleton were introduced
to the vast concourse of people as
sembied, and made first class DEM
ocratic reform speeches, Hll OF
which were loudly applauded. Two or

icrity ever poled at that place. Without
doubt 1t was one of the best meetings ever
held IN that end of town.
