Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean.
Washington, Sept. 6. Attention
whs called in these dispatches, some
time since, to a controversy that was
going on between Governor Vance,
of North Carolina., and tne.Becretary
of War, In relation to the possession
of the archives of that State, whloh
were captured by General Sherman,
at Raleigh, in 1S64, and are now held,
with the other archives of the rebel
lion, at the War Department.
It now appears that there has been
a conoerted movement on the part of
several Southern States to bulldoze
Secretary McCrary into giving up
these documents, whloh have proved
themselves to be not only of great Im
portance historically, but as evidence
against the claims that are continual
ly being brought against the govern
ment for damages growing out of the
war. Not long ago General Town
send, who has charge of these records
furnished documentary evidence to
the Attorney General which defeated,
In the Supreme Court, a olaim for
$13,000,000 biought against the gov
ernment. It had been prosecuted
successfully in the lower court9, and
had been appealed to .the Supreme
Court by the Attorney General, when
there was evidence accidentally dis
covered among the rebel archives
which proved it to be a fraud.
It will be remembered distinctly
how Congressman Willitts, of Mich
igan, In the House of Representatives,
last winter, prevented the passage of
a bill appropriating $400,000 to pay
rebel mail contractors by exhibiting a
page from these archives to show that
these same contractors had received
pay already from the Confederate
government for these claims. Nor
are these the only instancces of the
kind. Iu the court of claims, in the
Southern Claims Commission, and In
the Bureau of Captured and Aban
doned Property of the Treasury De
partment, milliouB of dollars have
been saved to the Government by
evidence found among these archives.
With this experience it becomes im
portant that before the rebel raid on
the Treasury commences Ihese docu
mentsshould be gotten outof the wa3'.
Hence the anxiety of Governor Vance
and other officials of Southern States,
"lately iu rebellion" to recover the of
ficial reoords of the "Sovereign States"
they represent, which were captured
by Federal forces in the war.
At Vance's suggestion, the Legisla
ture of North Carolina recently pass
ed a joint resolution calling upon the
Secretary of War to return to that
State the archives captured during
the war. Vance had discoveree, to
his chagrin, that his authority as Gov
ernor was not sufficient to intimidate
Secretary McCrary, and he thought
he would try what effect an act of the
Legislature of a "Sovereign State"
would have. In reply to the resolu
tion Seoretory McCrary forwarded
the following letter:
Very naturally Governor Vance
found but little satisfaction in thlB
letter, and has, from all appearances,
postponed any further attempts to ob
tain possession of these documents
until a Democratic administration
comes into power. In that event,
which will bo the harvest time for
rebel claimants, he will find no diffi
culty in obtaining and destroying
the evidence that will defeat many
claims.
At the suggestion of Governor
Vance the Legislature of Mississippi
followed the lead of North Carolina,
and passed a similar resolution. W.
H. McArdle, of VIcksburg, the hero
of the notorious "McArdle test oath
oase," made his appearance In Wash
ington a few days ago, aud presented
his authority as agent of the State of
Mississippi, under this resolution, to
take possession of all rebel documents
captured in that State. Secretary
McCrary received him courteously,
and, furnishing him with a copy of
the above letter, stated that he could
secure documents, under tho condi
tions expressed therein.
Is Mr.Thurman honest? Is he the
sort of a man to lead the friends of a
greenback currency? What can be
thought of one who, after spending
years in denouncing the favorite mon
ey of the people as unconstitutional,
now turns about and lauds it to the
skies, swearing that there is no ques
tion of its legality or safety ? Better
stick to the men who have gone on
redeeming every pledge, and who, if
they do not promise so muoh as the
Thurmanites, perform a good deal
more. Inter Ocean.
Tho Democrats of South Carolina
wound up their platform by saying :
"Upon this paramount issue we cor
dially invite the co-operation of every
Democrat and Republican who is in
earnest and willing in this crisis of
our State to unite with us in this
great work." They might have add
ed, judging from the past, that if this
cordial invitation is not accepted our
rifle clubs will persuade Republicans
in the usual way.

WAR DEPARTMENT.
Washington, D. C, Deo 6, 1877. j
To Hon. Z. B. Vance, Governor of the
Stale of North Carolina.
Sib: I have examined the ques
tion of returning the hooks of the
Executive Department;of North Car
olina, as presented by a resolution of
the General Assembly of that State,
and iu reply have respectfully to in
form you that I do not feel either au
thorized or disposed to deliver the
originals of these records to the State
of North Carolina. I find them in
the possession of the United States
Government as property captured in
war, and I can make no disposition
of them unless authorized by au act
of Congress.
The Legislature of your State,
doubtless anticipating this answer,
requested that iu case the originals
cannot bo recovered, copies of the
same mightbe procured at the expeuBe
of the State. I am disposed to com
ply with this reauest, so far as I can
consistently with the interests of the
United States Government.
It is probable that, upou examina
tion, it maybe found lhatsome of the
records are of such a character as to
be of vital importance to the United
States in resisting claims upon its
treasury. In numerous cases hereto
fore, by resort to -similar documents,
the government has-been enabled to
defeat very large, fraudulent claims.
I muBt therefore reserve the right to
use my- discretion in determining
whether any, aud if any, what reo
ords Bhould he excepted on the ground
that they ought to be made public.
With thiB limitation I take pleasure
in saying that, if the State will defray
the expense, I will order copies to be
made, under the direotion of the Ad
jutant General of the Army, for de
livery to you. I am, elr, verpTespeot
fully, your obedient servant,
George W. McCkauy,
Seoretary of War.

Here is a warning for the j'oung
men who are in the habit of lighting
matches on their thumb nails. A
young man of Paris, on entering the
carriage for a railway ride to Lyons,
lit a match by scratching it with bis
thumb nail. A piecoof the incandes
cent phosphorus penetrated under the
nail and made a slight burn. In an
hour the hand and arm were so much
inflamed, and the man was in suoh
pain, that a physioian advised imme
diate amputation. The patient wish
ed to postpone the operation, grew
rapidly worse, und twenty-seven
hours after the bum died in horri
ble suffering. The above is vouched
for by the Northern Whig, of Belfast,
England.
The Scientific American gives the
following novel plan for cheeking
bleeding at the nose :
"The best remedy for bleeding at
tho nose, as given by Dr. Gleasou In
one of his lectures, is in the vigcrous
motion of tho jaws, as in the at of
mastication. In the oase of a child a
wad of paper should be placed in its
mouth, and the child should be in
structed to chew it bard. It Is the
motion of the jaws that Btops the low
of blood. This remedy is so very sim
ple that many will feel inclinel to
laugh at it, but it has never ben
known to fall in a single instanoe so
it is said, even In very severe case."
What Is Gibraltar?
Common sense is looked upon ts a
vulgar quality, but nevertheless i. is
the only taliaman to conduct us pnp
erly through the world. The map of
refined sense has been compared to
one who carries about with him bath
ing but gold, when he may be e'ery
moment in want of smaller chan;e.
The rocky promontory which cons
titutes Gibraltar projeotsinto thesena
distance of about three miles, with a
width of one-half to three-quarters of
a mile. On the eastern side is the
Mediterranean, on the west the spa
cious bay of Gibraltar, and on the
south the strait of the same name.
The rock occupies about two-thirds of
the length of the promontory, and
its inland termination is precipitous.
Beyond, to the north, the ground is
low and fiat for the remainder of the
distance to tho mainland of Spain.
Th'e lower part of this level strip be
longs to England, the middle is neu
tral, and then commences the Span
ish territory. It iB said the English
portion is undermined, with a view
to render Gibraltar an island in case
of military necessity. The rock is
rather less than 1,450 feet high, nnd
its length extends north and south.
On all sides excepting the western the
ascent is almost perpendicular, eo that
access is utterly impossible except
from the quarter named. The city is
built along the base of the western
slope and faceB on the bay. The
streets are narrow and crooked ; the
houses are a mixture of the low, flat
roofed and dark colored, with the
Spanish whitewash monotony; the
shops on Waterport Btreet are dear and
mixed in nationality; the people are
Spanish, English, Moorish, Jewish,
red coals and nondescripts; the publio
buildings are without Interest; English
and Spanish coins form the circulating
medium ; the port is lirely'hvith a
large number of small oraft and such
la the town of Gibraltar, with its pop
ulation of 20.000. England came in
possession of the place in 1704, when
Sir George Cooke surprised it when
held by a Spanish garrison of hut 80
men. The treaty of Utreoht, in 1713
confirmed it to the English, who have
preserved their ownership In Bpite of
the extended Spanish seiges of 1727
and 1779. The word Gibraltar is de
rived from the Arablo gebel, a moun
tain, and Takak, the'name of a Moor
ish general who assisted in the con
quest of 8paln A. D. 111. Philadel
