must II be that they bo given over 20 the
charge Of one who, however personally honest
he may be, necessarily would feel an interest
in not pursuing with too great alacrity the
search for evidence which, in the case Of n
claim before Congress or the Departments,
might invalidate that claim There have
been In the last year especially many claims
defeated through the evidence furnished by
these same archives, and 1t may bo well to let
the people know into whose hands their in.

the blindness of some who ought to know bet

that the archives may be placed In the hands

ism and devotion to Republican principles
Hence Il can do no harm, and may do good.
The Importance of carrying the State of
New York in the coming election is incal-
culablc. At all events the legislative fort
must be held against the Democrats, VIII o,
all Republicans agree, are the enemies
of the common country. This can be
done only by unity of purpose md
concert of action within the party, and
woe to that professed Republican who
is detected in sowing the seeds Of dis
cord and division in its ranks at this im-
portant crisis, over the question of United
States Senator, or any other question that
holds only an incidental relation in the
pending conflict TO Republican success.
With q united front and heart the State Of
New York can he held from Democratic
spoliation, and such an achievement at this
crisis is worth any sacrifice but that of
principle. The question of United States
Senator should be utterly aud entirely ex-
cluded from rhe contest. Elect good and
faithful Republicans to the Legislature, so
as TO secure majority, and then let that
majority decide who shall be Senator, and
we are content, unless q man shall be Sc
lected who is SO low in the scale of ability
and craftsmanship that he would disgrace

The suggestion by THE NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN that to the South shall be ac-
corded the right or privilege of the second
ceiycs endorsement from an unexpected
quarter. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle,
Democratic takes il up approyingly, as fol-
lows:
The Washington NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
suggests that q Southern man he nominated
for ce-President on the Republican ticket in
ls-O. The idea is not bad one. There arc
HUGHEs, of Virginia; SETTLE, of North Caro-.
lima; AKERMAS, Of Georgia, and ALCoRS, OF
Mississippi, aud perhaps others-men Of nbil-
ity, good personal character and pronounced
RCpublicanIsm- ANY one of whom would fill
the hill. BY all means let US have Southern
man on each ticket.
This concession, for such IL will be re.
garded, coming rs IL does from pro

withstanding their pronounced Repub

It is fact worthy of note, however, that

THE SARATOGA CONFERENCE.

A bevy of recognized Republicans have
recently held conference at Saratoga
Springs to consider the interests Of the Re-
publican party in the Empire State, to ex-
press their views TO each other, and to enun-
ciate their resolves to the country. 1t Is
the privilege of American citizens in the
Northern States to hold meetings at their
own pleasure, where, and in such numbers
us in their own judgment is best for their
own or the public interest. This is an in
alienable right that everybody respects at
the North. We wish that the South could
consent to emulate this example and prac-
tice, for to do il would greatly elevate the
character of that section of our common
country, in the scale of justice, fairness, and
mutual respect in politics.
But, as we were saying, any number OF
| Republicans eau meet in peace and resolve
at will at Saratoga. II is an inviting spot,
and withal possesses distinguished curative
influences. We suppose that more sore
heads have been healed at Saratoga than at
any other point in that state, and seldom Is
political couyocation held there in which
there are not more or less sore toes and
heads on exhibition for examination and
| treatment. Hence there can be no Obicc'
ton 10 the late RsScmhlage unless it con.
templates mischief to Republican unity
and harmony NJ Ter the iluG of Republicans

Gvors. Some Of them have been Federal
oflice-holders, and SOME are now
Some have been State Senators
and some are now. Some have
been members Of Congress, but are not now
Some held Office under LINCOLN, JOHNSON
and GRANT, with but one, to our knOwl
edge, who holds position under the present
Administration. This shows that the con
venton was composed Of old stagers wilt

THE Hon" PoTTAH has been guilty Of q
bit of irony, which shows, perhaps, that he
still entertains o slight feeling of disgust for
the ungentlemanly antics Of his fellow COM
mitteeman, General BUTLER. The latter
had very broadly insinuated, amounting to a
direct charge, that Major BURKE, the New
Orleans witness, had testified to something
else than the truth. Major BURKE very
properly refused togo on with his testimony
until the charge had been withdrawn. The
Hon" PoTTAH thereupon remarked that
BUTLER could not have said what he did
say, because no gentleman would say such
thing. BURKE seemed to be satisfied with
this and BUTLER went on with his role OF
the dog Noble, barking at the empty hole
wherein he expects to find that great bar
gain.
