of land, officially valued at S20,4s9. The claim recon-
mended by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney
General ana accounting officers Of the Treasury.
Mr. CLINGMAN supported the claim and took occasion
to the committee against any opposition which might
have been made il by Mr.. Medi the Commissioner In
dian Affairs who he understood had endeavored prejudice
the claim because the agents Of the claimant peempory
fused make allowance for his avoring the claim Mr..
c. denounced the Indian Bureau thoroughly corrupt, He
had been cedby informed that the books in that bureau bad
been altered and sfcd for corrupt purposes though this
he believed had been done during the ncumbency of Mr.
Crawford, the predecessor of the present Commissioner

any statement he should make. An application had been
made the Department have the books taken out of his
Office and deposited place where they should be safe
from alterations
Mr.. BOWDON disclaimed taking any part in this matter
between Mr. CLINGMAN and the Commissioner of Indian At
fairs but went advocate the claim of David until
the time allotted to debate expired.

of the Senate 99 in a Of which eleven were agreed to-
and including that for the schooner Amistad were
disagreed to.
The committee then and reported progress, and the
House, at twenty minutes before II o'clock at night adj
