THE CONFEDERATE ARCHIVES =
Gen. u. H. Maury, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Southern His
torical Society, has lately addressed a
letter to the New York Herald, in which
has hitherto under political influences
prevailed, excluding students from ac-
cess to the important papers involunta-
rily contributed by the Confederacy to
the archive bureau in Washington
Gen. Maury urges that the time has
come when the curtain which wells the
captured archives in Washington can be
raised to all who seek histo ORIG truth, and
when apolicy which has dsnied to Rob
ert E. Lee and other Confederates access
to their own reports can be abandoned.
Such a policy cannot fail to keep alive
sectional bitterness, or be explained in
any other way than as purpose to con-
ceaI or pervert the truth of history
Gen. Maury contends that if public
money is to be appropriated for the pub
LEGATION of the captured documents rep
resentative Confederates should be al
lowed to inspect the originals OF their
own reports before the publication of
them, and that equal facilities for their
examination should be accorded to all
citizens. 1t is to be presumed that this
reasonable suggestion will be urged
upon the favorable notice of President
Hayes by the Southern delegations.
THE GULF SFREAM.-The "river in
the ocean," known as the Gulf Stream,
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Azores,
is 5000 miles in length, and its greatest
breath 100. At the first it's speed is four
miles an hour; but this gradually de
cliDes as it becomes more diffused. Off
the State of Florida its temperature is
eighty-three degrees, or nine degrees,
above the surrounding waters; and
off Newfoundland, in winter, it is
twenty five to thirty degrees warmer
than the neighboring seas, thus
causing the dense fog of that region. 1t
is great dispenser of heat and moisture
inits course. To its influence are owing
the verdure of the Emerald Isle," and
the mildnsss of the climate of Western
Europe compared with countries else
where of corresponding latitude, It ar
rests the chilling Arctic Icebergs, which
melt away in its tepid waters. 1t is of
a deep indigo blue as long as its current
is deep and narrow land the line of de-

stern. will draw up water differing

Public Estimation Of the President.


Grant has succeeded in setting nearly
all his chief compatriots in arms against
him--Hancock, Corse, Mcclellan, Hooker,
Slocum, Sigel, Badly Smith, and others
whose names cannot now be recalled. No
man has ever retired from the Presidency
so little respected as he. His administra-
ton ought to serve the American people
for century to come as a warning against
putting mere soldier at the head of civil
affairs. His last annual message acknowl.
edged his utter iucompetency for the high
position, but the world did not need that
message to tell it Of fact it was SO fully
acquainted with before. At home and
abroad the people have felt the humilia-
ton Of having an incompetent man in the
Executive Office. Especially did they ex-
perience modification on his account, du-
ring the Centennial Exposition, when SO
many distinguished foreigners were here,
whose keen penetration was not slow 10
discovering that the Chief Magistrate of
the country was one Of the least Of its
public men. Il is creditable to our mill
tary commanders, that they, no less than
civilians, share 10 the general disgust
which the Presidents course has inspired.
May We never look upon his like again.
One such Is sufficient for all time.

Presidential Presumption.

Grant will recognize whoever is de-
clared to be President by the official count.
What has he to do with recognizing any
one as President2 As soon as his success
sor takes the official oath, on the 4th Of
March, that instant he becomes as the
humblest citizen, all power and authority
having departed from him. The people,
at large, through the constitution, recog-
nize the President, and he is at once
clothed with the dignity and authority of
his high Office, in virtue of that instru-
ment and the laws made in pursuance
thereof, Of which President Grant seems
to have only the faintest possible eoncep.
ton. He recognize, indeed Who will
recognize him. None will be so poor as
to do him reverence, after he has stepped
down from his official position. That
alone entities him to any consideration.

The Battle q New Orleans,

Monday next is the sth Of January, the
anniversary of the battle Of New Orleans,
fought January sth, 1915, which closed
the last war with England in "a blaze Of
glory for the Americans, as Goblet, the
celebrated British writer expressed it,
Gen, jackson and his western and south
ern riaemen, were too much for the yeter-
ans Of England, on that memorable occa-
sion, and the "boOty and beauty" Of New
Orleans were rescued from the ravages Of
the invader. The event used to be com
memonted by the display of the stars and
stripes upon the capitals of the several
States and of the nation, but the custom
has fallen into neglect in some degree.
The victory is still held in lively remem-
brance BY our people, and tho day rarely
passes by without recognition Of some sort.
In several western States conventions Of
Democrats are to be held on that day, to
take into consideration the complications
in reference to the Presidential contest,
and to determine the best course of action
to be adopted under the circumstances.
These councils viii be of very important
character, tending as they probably will,
in some way, to the settlement Of the vexed
question Of the Presidency, which has
agitated the whole country ever since the
7th of November, Not the least impor.
tant Of these conversations on the Sth Of
January, is that which is to take place in
Washington, of the veterans of the Fed
eral army in the late civil war. Many Of
the most prominent officers of the army
will be present, and others, of all ranks
to counsel together, that they may thor
oughly understand the situation in the
crisis which is upon us, and the require
ments of true patriotism in the peril which
menaces the peace Of the country. tits
to be hoped that the highest wisdom will
guide their deliberations to the best results
Ours is government Of the people, under
the constitution and the laws which their
agents and representatives have enacted,
and it behooves them to counsel together
for the preservation of public safety and
public order in time like this. The
gravity and the exigencies of the occasion
demand it.

The Louisiana Legislature met Monday
and, as anticipated, split in two. There
was more than quorum in each of the
rival bodies. The Republican House was
organized by the election of Ex-Governor
Hahn as Speaker. The Democratic Leg,
islature met in St. Patrick's Hall, and
Louis Bush was elected Speaker of the
House. Governor Kellogg's last message
was read in the Republican body. The
Republican Senate was at first without a
quorum, but the Sergeant-at.A Arms cap.
tured Democratic Senator, aud resolu-
ton was then passed seating two men
named kelso and Baker, TO hold seats,
provided the Senators returned as elected
did not present themselves" The Re.
publican House adopted resolution de-
claring that armed resistance existed in
the State, and calling upon the President
for 1.-THE protection guaranteed by the
Constitution" During the proceedings
the State House was well barricaded and
guarded, and the u s. troops were kept
under arms at their quarters, but quiet
prevailed. The Republicans in New
Orleans were jubilant Monday night over
the fact that Democratic Senators, including
some holding certificates from McEnery,
recognized Kellogg as Governor. The
New Orleans EueHing Democrat intimated
that the illegal Legislature" would attempt
to take forciblc possession of the State
House next day.
Hon. Lucius Robinson was inaugurated
Governor of New York Monday. Mr.
Tilden, the retiring Governor, briefly ad.
dressed his successor on the subject Of the
reforms achieved in the government Of
the State during the past two years. The
Legislature organized on Monday. The
first message Of Governor Robinson was
read. 1t condemns the military interfer
ence in the Southern elections and the ac-
ton Of the Returning Boards, and says
the people Of this country will nevor vest
in any one man the power Of determining
the counting of the electoral votes.
Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
was inaugurated Monday. In his address
which was "applauded to the echo" he
referred to the national situation as eriti.
cal in the extreme, and said that the pco.

President Grant thinks that the discus

until after the 4th of March, that the
Vice-President will then become President,
and another election will be ordered, to be
held in the month of June, and the Presi.
dent may be inaugurated on the ensuing
4th of July. All this is speculative and
highly improbable.

fine color and favor and no doubt will bring

on it. We are pleased to learn that the new
enterprise is meeting with success. There ls
no reason why Carroll county butter should
