General Cullom remarked that n they all
preferred that eourss, II attained the same end,
and be weuld sdoptit; and upon asking them
| If they all agreed to that arrangement, they
answered in the affirm stive. Gen Cullom left
for Tennessee that evening, and Mr. Burnett

All promptly, upon their return, carried out
the agreement, and no complaint was heard
ffom Messrs. Stanton or Burnett, until No
heard that the Clerk had notified them that
their services would be at An end at The close
Of the session. Indeed, Mr. Burnett dealt in
praises of General Cullom up to that time.

are ready to do justice, and therefore make
no complaint. We all happening to have
been present, give this statement free from
party or personal bias, a. We are composed OF

The undersigned was not present, on the oc-
casion referred to in tho statement Of his bro

would say, that on many occasions Mr.. Bur.
nett said to him that his pay wss suspended
from September LIST to December LIST, 1855, o
during the time no was absent from Washing
ton, as he wished to engage In the Presiden.
tial canvass and that also, both before his

The Commissionership Of Indian Affairs
The best informed folks in such matters around
as, are confident that tho Hon. Mr.. Denver,
Of California, Is to succeed Gel. Manypenny,
in the Commissionsrship Of Indian Affairs.
We conceive tho Administr alton to be fortu.
nate, indeed, in this selection, -insomuch a.
II is . most difficult task conceivable TO obtain
for that position the services of gentleman
who can succeed Col. Manypenny creditabIy.
If any man can, that individual Is Mr. Der.
ver-no other two gentlemen being more alike
in their traits of character. So far, Col. Ma
nypenny never had his equal in the manage
ment of the affairs of the Indian Bureau.
Mr.. Denver Is . plain man, endowed with a
strong sense, emphasis, energy of character,
caution, and a thorough knowledge of men
and things. He has had great experience
with frontier affairs, and knows how to deal
with them as we'll any other man in the coun-
try. The reader will therefore comprehend
how nd Why We believe the Government to
have been most fortunate In his selection. IL
they have determined TO carry out the rota.
ton doctrine in connection with the Cemnis.
sioneIship Of Indian Affairs.
