/. Mr. Kendall has becn removed. las we
believe h. has Lecn.j it has moi been Tor want
of capacity. or honesty of purpose IN the dis
c!,ar.,. Of hi official duties. bu, brcause Of his
mord xrGtnes for the phianthropc and
Christian work of civilzng the savage bar
Larians" of Washington Territory. We be-
licvc the most partial friends of Mr.. Kendall
have never claimed for him any peculiar fit
hess for missionary labor, and since the new
Administration has resolved to give the "mis-
sionary system of labor" a fair trial before Civ
ing the Indians up to die out, i'll consequence
of their savage and vicious indulgcnces, they
will not be guilty of the Inconsistency of blam-
ing Mr.. Lincoln for putting more proper man
in charge of the Christian work.
We hope Mr.. Kendall will be able to show
that his greatest faults as disbursing agent
of the Government, has been failure to cx-
ercise properly his discretionary powers, and
allowing his personal enmi,ies and prcjudices
to override his sense Of justice, in his inter-
course with his Republican subordinatcs. If
he does this, no one will be more ready than
ourself to reverse the unfavorable opinions
that have been forced upon us by IL most
singular concatcnation of suspicious crcum-
stances-thc most prominent of which are
the facts, that while he has held, for months
past, from seventy to eighty thousand dollars
in his hands applicable to the Indian service
of the Territory, scarcely dollar has been
paid to the original owners of the vouchers;
the credit of the agents has been steadily de-
clining, until those that have given them credit
for supplies for their agencies have refused
them farther credit; and the Indian rouchers
offered upon our streets, under the very eye
of Mr.. Kendall, for fifty cents on the dollar,
without eliciting from him the slightest ex-
preston calculated to assure the public Of
their ultimate payment. But for the fur
tunate appearance in our midst of DIR. White,
the special agent Of the Indian Department.,
Mcssrs. Lodge 4 Berry would have parted
with n claim of fifteen hundred dollars for
seven hundred and fifty could they have
found purchaser, when they were entitled to
payment dollar for dollar the moment they
had finished their work.
Of the thirty thousand dollars which Mr..
Kendall claims to have disburscd since he
has been in Office, we do not know Of a
dollar that has been paid into the hands of
those who earned it, and hence our deduc.
ton last week, that there might be design
to let the scrip find its way into the hands
of the Portland bankers at large discount.
We do know that the vouchers of Mr..
Wright. Of Simcoe for one thousand dollars.
"a years salary was refused payment by
Mr.. Kendall ard in few hours afterwards
was sold to one Of his Intimate friends at
large discount. Other instances might L..
named. bu, We forbear their repetition We
allude to this particular case by gay of
illustration. We cannot say ,ounroiy that
Mr.. Kendall has control Of any money spe-
e'aiiy appropriated far the payment ii tia,
particular salary. Indeed. Ne have m posi-
