REORGANIZATION of the Cabinet.

New YORK, Dec ia special to the Graphic

1t is claimed that Secretary Evarts stands in

brought the civil service reform of the Presi-
dent into disrepute by insisting upon no nomi-
nations notin the interest of reform and is in
tent upon stirring up war with Mexico, to ad-
vance his own political fortunes. Reconcilia-

The jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi
may be regarded as an assured success to the
full measure of Capt. Eads' reasonable antici-

Complications Feared.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-The regular Cabinet
Evarts was the only member absent. and The
State Department was represented by Assistant
Secretary Seward.
Most OF the time was occupied in discussing
the Texas question particularly the El Paso
difficulty. All the dispatches received by the
Secretary Of War. within the past few days
from that vicinity were read and after full
discussion Of the subject, It was the general i'm
preston that the difficulty was purely a local
one, and that no serious complications need be
feared. but on thecentrary affairs appeared to
be assuming shape for peaceable adjustment.

not result from Mexicans from the other side of

CONFEDERATE ARCHIVES.
The Democrats Satisfied that They Have
Been Garbled.
cincinnati Gazette.l


WAsHTNGTON Dec. 1t.-There may turn out
to be peculiar significance in the vote In the
House to-day by which the proposition to ap-
propriate funds for printing the rebel arch
ives was lost. The Appropriations Commit
tee took the ground In reporting against 1t,
as it came from the Senate, that this matter
would appropriately belong to the sundry
civil bill, and hence it should lie over until
that came up in it's regular order. While this
reason was satisfactory enough to some OF
the Democrats, it did not account for the
votes of many others. quite a number say
they will oppose the appropriation whenever
it comes up, and for the reason that there has
already been, In their minds, evidence enough
that the War Department under Republican
rule cannot be entrusted with these import
ant documents 50 far as giving fair, un-
garbed version of them is concerned.
The negatives belong to the government,
and it has all along been claimed that what
was to be published would embrace bona fide
transcripts OF the records
Some Democrats, interested in having the
exact facts known in relation TO the history
Of the lost cause, are in favor OF deferring all
further action in these matters until the
Democracy gets In power. Then they Will
feel that the records are in safer hands. They
bring forward in illustration of their views
the spicy correspondence that passed be-
tween Don Cameron and Gov. Vance, Of North
Carolina in the early part Of 1876. Mr. Cam
eron under date Of January 15 wrote to Gov.
Vance asking him to send on to the War De-
partment set of the reports Of the Adjutant
General for the year 1885, inclusive, for use
in connection with the official records Of the
rebellion for publication. Gov Vance de-
clined, and gave good reasons, He said that
In 1865, one month after the cessation Of
hostiities and after the order prohibiting
the further seizure OF all books and docu-
ments, the letter-b books Of the North Carolina
Executive had been seized and transferred to
the War Department. On repeated occasions
permission had been asked by the officials Of
North Carolina to copy matter contained Ia
those books for use in law suits or to vindi-
cate various prominent men of the Confeder-
acy from charges made against them, but the
Department had always refused to grant the
request and yet when Radicals ran for office
in North Carolina they had frequently been
supplied with ammunition in the shape of
garbled extracts from these documents,
which were certified as true copies by the
Secretary Of War
Gov. Vance said he would otherwise be
pleased to comply with the request, because
''he would be proud for the world to know
how faithfully the people Of North Carolina
struggled to maintain the cause whether
right or wrong, in which they considered
their rights and honor to be involved" It is
believed that Democratic control Of these
archives would result in bringing the una
dulterated truth to the surface.
