Bargain and Snle.

Tie Hon. Richard w. Thompson, some time
N. G. from Indiana, was recently Tor claims to
have been) the hired attorney Of the Menominee
Indians at Washington, where he rendered them
services which he values at $4,000. When
they were 10 receive liberal sum from the Fed.
eral Treasury in payment for lands, Mr.. Thomp-
son sent in his little BILL but the Indians dsput-
ed or repudated it and took the full sum due
them, distributing it among themselves and Civ
ing none to their yellowish-pae counselor. Mr.
T. then preferred his claim at the Treasury, on
what grounds we do not remember and cannot
imagine His claim was rejected. He tried
Congress- with equal i'll success at first, but final.
~ obtained the passage of an act which author
lied the accounting officers to pay him any sum
that they should find justly due him. Those Off
GERS promptly reported that NO sum was due him.
Mr.. Manevpenny, President Piercc's Commis.
sioner Of Indian affairs, stigma,izing his claim as
utterly groundless and fraudulent. Thus the
matter seemed to rest until the accession Of Mr
Buchanan.
Meantime however, Richard, from being q
leading and active Wing, and voting as such
for all manner of Wilmos Provsos and No-Ex-
tension -of-Slavcry resolves, became Fillmore
Know-Nothing and bitter Pro-Slavery Hunker.
As such, he managed the Fillmore State Con-
vention last year. and headed the Fillmore
Electoral Ticket As such, he did all he could
TO give Indiana and tue Presidency to Mr Blu
chanan.
A current scandal affrms that this was in pur-
snance of Il bargain with certain leaders OF the
Pro.Slavery Democracy ssipulasng that in case
Of his success in his undertaking, his claim shoe
be allowed and paid at the Treasury. We know
no facts that sustain this charge indeed we sho'd
be very unlikely to know them if they existed.
1t is what the senior Mr. Weller would call re-
markable coincidence, however, that one of the
very first acts of the new lords of the Treasury
was the allowance and payment of Mr. Thomp-
sons claim.-N. Y. Tribune. s.s.- f...-.s-. 49,.
