.iNyESTIGAT1ON DEMANDED.

compelled to believe that the most cut
rageous frauds arc sough. to he perpc

action Of the Commission for rcccivin"
and auditing Sioux Indemnity Claims

corrupt to be found -prescnte'l e"or-
nous claims which were allowed ~ u
majority Of the Commission and Iy
them transmitted TO the Secretary of
tke INta"ior for his cn''7 rSc1nert: TITS
he very justly refuses tn give until the
matter shall he investigated, aud the
palpable frauds exposed.
Whether these cori::i1t actions a,i>e
from a combination between tie tr'-
ders and Commission the latter to re-
ccive QutG pro Qno--it matters but
little. There is suficien cause to de-
mand instant and thorough invest ga
ton, without "fcar or favor" and we
call upon our Congressional delegation
to give the matter their Immediate at
tention. Let the whole affair be raked
from stem tv stern If the Commission
be. guiltless, the trial will add Iastre to
their names. 52~Ift:. .s''
Some delay may he caused in the
payment Of the many just and honest
claims, but not necessarily. 'i>ae
Secretary might allow all Such as do
not exceed limited reasonable amount,
and reserve the balance for strict i'll
vestigation. Where traders present,
and have allowed, claims Of from s5v,-
900 to $75, 900, it is time that some
watchfulncss was being exercised.
But let there be no dclay in making a
strict and thorough examination of the
actions of the Commission.

III LAST RESORT OF TJEE REBEL
LION-THE LAST BTROEEEOFJ USC
From ne Timer.
The statement Of the Richmond Enquirer that
General Lee has written a letter 20 the Committee
on Military Affairs, in the Rebel House, in favor
of arlning the slaves, virtually settles that this
experiment will soon be tried. The military
Judgment Of that General is authority not to be
appealed from in the COnfederacy on amy military
question. Il Is in its military bearing alone that
this subject is now discussed. The universal
feeling OF the Rebels is that military success
alone can save them. Their only hesitation about
armng the slaves has been the doubt whether
the slaves viii do effective military service, and
whether there was yet an actual military neces-
sity for that resort. General Lees demand that
the experiment shal' be tried az once, settles the
matter, and we may expect soon to see the mea-
sure ia practical operation.
1t will not be tried on a small scale. The
project has been too long postponed, and the
necessities Of the Rebellion are now too'urgent
for that. Nothing can now prevent the speedy
downfall of the Rebellion but very large access
sions TO their armies These aecessons must
come from the black race, if at all for conscrip-
tion has already done its utmost among the
whites. Originally 1t was the universal belief in
the Confedsracy, as it was among the sympl-
thzers here In the North, chat the black race
Weie natural towards, and could not be made 20
fght ~ al. This was, in due time, disproged by
tie excellent fghtiDg actually done by the black
regiments enlisted under our flag.
