When this was done, or by whom, is not known. The late Booretary Stanton, during bis administration of the War Ofico, filed awsy a large pumber of private lottors and tole- grams, tho oxistonco of which was known to two or®three porsons bosidos Limsolf. They rclated to courte-martial, the conduct of prominent officors of the army, the intriguos of politicians and military sspirants and the rasenlity of Govornment contractors, and tho ways and moans used to influonco tho President of tho United Btates in overruling the docisions of tho Socretary of War. In thoso casos, s gon- tlomen whose position made him familiar with these documents, says many men, who wero conncoted with the army and who havo sinco fignred {n publio lito, will xotain their character moro Boouroly with thoso racorda out of the roach of serutiny. It is Imown that they wore all in tho War Offico whon Btanton rotired,” o had thom systomatically briefed and atowod away in a safo placo, and had ho lived and re~ mained in publio lifo, they would probably have figured Jargely in proventing the appointmont of men to offioo “who have siuce shown that thoy wero no battor fitted for the Clvil Bervice than thoy woro for positions of trust and high com- mand in tho army. Theso privato_arohives cov- ered a poriod of ‘timo from the firat bottle of Bull Run down to the surronder of Loe's army. Thoy ombraced ordors for courts-mariial, with thelr flndings, somo ~of thom sontonolng ¢he offendors to be nhot, nnd other rocorda of which tho peoplo wore ignos ront. It is eaid that o gontleman conncoted with the War Dopartmont "during tho robellion, through whoso hands all those mattrrs pasgod, took copies of thom, and will use them 1n writ~ ing the secrot history of tho war. .

TILE FRANEING PRIVILEGE, An ostimate mske by a prominent officor hero of the cost of ‘nbolishing tho frank- iog priviloge on the 1st of mnoxt month, demonstratos the fact that botweon $700,000 and $1,000,000 will be oxpended in aupp]yinF Foderal officors with acales on ‘which to weigh thelr mail mattor, and for print- ing ciroulars of instruction, and’ engraving and forwarding postage stamps, oto,, to offices at distant }mmts. It is calenlated that at most the abuse of the franking privilege involved an ex- penditure by the Government of not exceeding 800,000 per yoar, and that, aftor au{‘ply-lug tho wents of the various Foderal doparimonts and such individuals as .may be ontitled to postago stamps at Govornment expense, it will be found that thers will bo no saving to tha Governmont Dby the abolition of tho privilege, But on the other hand, it s 20id, thore will bo a osy the firat yoar of from 400,000 to 700,000, Groat elress will be Iaid upon the abovo rocital at tho next session of Congress, when an effort to rovive tho frank- ing privilege is to be made.
