The msjerity of the Fort Suclling Investigating
Committee reported yesterday in pointed aud forci-
bic condemnation of the sale of the Military r..
serve IN question, and of the conduct Of the Secre-
tary Of War and his Commissioners in making that
SALE in disregard defiance Of the opinions Of all
the Military officers whose advice should have been
taken on the subject and of the laws of the land.
The Report is signed by John U. Petit OF Indiana
Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont, and Isaac n. Morris
of Illinois 1t is quite elaborate, covering lO3
large pages of manuscript lie moderate in tone and
language, fully analy zes the testimony taken before
the Committee, and gives connected history oil
the Fort Smelling sale. The parallel of that sale,
we are confident cannot be found in the history Of
our Government. The Report clearly establishes
these positions:
|. This Reservation is still needed for Military
purposes, and therefore should not have been sold
at all The Military authorities whose views should
baye controlled this matter we're not even con-
suited.
.. 1t wss sold far below it's value.
3. 1t was surrepttiously aud unfairly sid, none
but thOe con- ected with or benefited by the trans
ac,ion beiog allowed to know that the laud was i'll
market
4. 1t was sold in lump-some Seven to Ten
Thousand acres-when the laws forbi such sale,
requiring survey Of all 1blic Lands into sections,
and their sale in legal subdivisions of sections.
5. 1t was sold mainly on credit, contrary to law,
which requires oil Public Lands to be sold for cash
only.
g. by the contract of sale, deed is to be given
fer this tract OH the payment Of the first install
ment Of the purchase-money, without even re Iuir-
ing mortgage, while the laws forbid the issuing OF
deed or patent for public lands sold until the en-
tire price shall have been paid.
We shall recur to and print portions of this Re-
port to morrow. Meantime, we ask attention to
the synopsis Of the accompanying testimony which
follows, and to the remarkable swearing of Mr.
Richard Schell, whose evidence, with that OF the
Hon. Robert Smith, appears on another page.

The case Of the negro Archy, claimed as fug-
tive slave, continued to excite great interest in
Cslfornis, and when the steamer left was still
pending before the Commissioner. Ssovau, the
claimant, in the original proceedings, had repre-
.euted and had sworn that he brought Archy from
Mississippi, as his attendant visit to California
for his health. As this state of facts would cut
him of from recourse to the Fugitive Slave law,
Stovan alleged, as basis for the new proceedings
that Archy having committed an assault with intent
to Hill upon white man in Mississippi, had fed
