s,R. The practice which has heretofore prevailed
to a considerable extent, Of paying moneys due TO
Indians on powers of attorney given by them, Is
wholly Inconsistent with the duty of government TO
pay over to them, promptly, and without abatement,
Whatever may be due TO them under any treaty OF
law, or for any claim whatever TO which they may
be Justly entitled. Agents are appointed and paid
by the government TO attend to their business for
them, and they should be the medium of all their
communications with the government, whether ia
relation to any claims they may have, OF TO their
wants or wishes upon any other subject.
Considering how easily Indians are imposed upon,
to permit them TO dispose of their claims IA fire.
quently done for very inadequate consideration,
or 10 employ persons to collect them 10 whom they
give powers Of attorney and who thereupOn draw
the money and keep whatever amount OF It they
may see proper their compensation, Is 10 Degleo
the duty Of the government towards them, and 10
allow them to do wrong and injustice TO themselves.
The practice referred TO should therefore be dseoun
tenanced and you will instruct all the superinlen-
dents, agents. and sub-sgents Of the Indian Depart
ment that IL will be- and direct them 10 give the In
dams under their charge clearly TO understand that
hereafter all their claims, wants, or wishes should
be communicated TO the department through them,
when they will be promptly attended to, and full
Justice done them.
Should any Indian or Indians, however, notwith.
standing the above determination persist in giving
powers Of attorney, no part Of the sum which may
be recovered thereupon will be paid to the persons
holding them, except such an amount, as, under
the circumstances Of the case, may appear TO the
department to be fair and just compensation for
their trouble and expense. The remainder will in
all cases be RENTED To the agent or sub-agent for
payment to the Indian elsimant in person.
Very respectfully, your obedisnt servant.

A New DEVICE TO SCARE CRows.--We
saw last week novel method of keeping
crows from the corn field. A man who had
been much annoyed by them, was told by ex-
tending cord of ichite t,ciae round his field,
on polls about ten feet high, he would get rid
of these troublesome birds. He tried it on a
ten acre field, and assured us that before he
put il up he lost at least twenty hills Of corn
per day--but not a crow had been seen in his
field since--and tina. they will actually fly
round the field without daring to enter.--Up-
