The Indian Agency.

If the bill passes to make the Indian
| agency d branch of the War Department,
and to put its whole business under the
control of officers of the army, we shall re-
joiee that one step has been taken toward
reform and retrenchment. Recent investi-
gationsOf the conduct of Mr.. BOgy have
revealed the most shameful corruption,
continuing for along series of years. This
exposure startles no one, tor i6 has been
very well known that the management OF
this business wasutterly disgraceful to the
Government, but it places the matter be-
fore the people in such q hShtIthat we emay
now reasonably hope for some reform. Mr.
Bogy's appointment may turn out to be q
very fortunate thing fortthe country. The
old ring of spectators is disgusted at the
refusal Cf their bids, the Republicans are
disgusted at the appointment OF a notori-
.ous rebel sympathizer, the inhabitants on
the frontier are disgusted to learn how sys-
teniatically Indian massacres have been
caused by the avaric3 of grasping officials
and contractors, and the people generally
are disgusted at the spectacle of corruption
and swindling. The tax payers have es-
pecial reasonto be disguSted. ln short, the
Indian agency has become an object Of
very general and profound disgust, and
the attempt to reform it will, meet with
great favor, -,,e o,.t ss t.-.,,t.,,.,s IN
The expense to the, Government caused
by This swindling system is not its most
serious feature, though that naturally
arouses the most indignation among peo-
pie heavily burdened with taxes. The
honor of the country has been tarnished by
these operations; the treatment which the
Indians have, received has been a burnipg
shame and disgrace, to us, and the seeds OF
injustice have produced g qluxuriant crop
of outrages, massaeres, aud Indian wars.
The blood of murdered whiteszof women
and children savagely slain-is on the hands
Of these men whose fraud, have given the
Indian just cause for Indignation. The
expense Of large armed forces, and of many
Indian expeditions, has been largely caused
by this same system of swindling the In,
dians have become distfustful, and some of
them implacably hostile, the settlement Of
the western country has been retarded
and all this, that ring of officials and con-
tractors might get rich! This system has
continued long enough, EXceptfrom par
ties who. are pecuniarily Interested, there
can be, no Opposition to its remoVal.-7ISt.
