WAR ARCHIVES.
Recently paragraph was published to the
following effect, which has provoked free criti-
cism upon Secretary McCrary: Secretary of
War McCrary has issued an order through Gen
Marcus j. Wright formerly of the confederate
army, but now keeper of confederate archives
IN custody of the war department rendering
free access thereto to the Southern Historical
society. In turn the latter secretary in accept
ing the courtesy has extended to the United
States the privilege to take papers in it's pos
session." The statement is incorrect. Secre-
tary McCrary never made any such
order. Gen. Wright was never in charge
of the archives, and the Historical society
never has asked for access to the archives,
The war department asked for certain docu-
ments of the historical society and to get
them agreed to exchange certain historical
records only, but none bearing upon claims of
any character. Col. R. f. Moore, First artillery,
who has always been in the army, is in charge
of the archives.
