The Fort SMELLING SALE.-'rhe
House of Representatives have adopted
the series of resolutions offered by Mr.. |
Clark, of New York, exonsrating the
Secretary Of War from any direct cOllu-
sion in the sale of the Fort Smelling pro-
perry, but declaring that the management
of the sale by the agent appointed by the
Secretary, was unjudicious and improper,
as it excluded all competition in the pur-
chase, and caused an unjustifable sacrifice
ofthe property. The terms of the sale are
declared to be improper, and the evidence
taken by the House committee, is direct
ed to be laid before the Secretary Of War
and the Attorney General, that they
may lake the proper steps to secure the
public interest. These resolutions were
adopted by majority. By these, the
sale is declared to be. in the opinion Of
the House, dishonest and colfusive.-
With the evidence before il, is difficult to
see how they could exculpate Secretary
Floyd. The frauds Of the Government
agents will not vitiate the sale. The
purchasers will insist upon title, and
it appears that they are likely to get it
without paying even the paltry sum OF
they had stipulated to give for it.
A correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican, connected with the army,
writes that the Secretary of War has de-
cided to abandon Fort Smelling for good,
and remove the troops and public prop
erty from that point to Fort Ripley and
Fort Randall. This decision is condemn
ed as most injudicious by the army. All
the valuable buildings as soon as vacated
will 60 into the hands of the fraudulent
purchasers Of the reservation. according
to the terms ofthe sale.
These purchasers now insist on charg,
ing the Government fI0eiUe thousand dol
lars month rent, from the date OF the
sale to the date of its evacuation, which
will he about twelve months, and a
$4,000 per month, will give the claim
ants $I44 600 rent on property they
bought Of the lessee for $4,000. Sen
ator Rice, OF Minnesota, and his partner:
will get the property without the pay
ment OF dollar, and will set up a claim
for a balance Orient, Of about $4,000
1t is Incredible that these transac
tions should have occurred under
the supervision of an honest Secreta
~ of War, and with the sanction o
the other members of the Cabinet,
corruption AMI speculation were no
the rule in all government transaction
at Washington instead of the exception
Secretary Floyd in his private transac
tons has a reputation for making clos
and shiewd bargains. He turned gran
lite quarry of his own near Richmond {
ssssings Inae the government prop
erty slips through his hands withou
bringing dollar to the public treasury
His whole management of the affair
shows him to have been colIuding will

- We have said, are both the contractors and
the directors. Ii is commended 10y the stock
holders, that the terms of the contract were
not complied with; that the road has not

ulatlons oil the agreement; that, i'm addition
10 this, enormous charges have been made

and that, in this way, q large floating debt
has been created, which the contractors, as

Ii is also alleged that the business of tie
road has been mismanaged; that great ex-
trayagance has bean praeticed; and that thus
the earnings have in part, been applied to the
| payment OF interest. The stockholders also
md fault with the management, because the
local directors have not been consulted with
reference To the business of the company,
