A Times special says: The appointment

Affairs, as general Indian Agent, TO make

would be to question the result,
On the other hand, Mr.. Calep Cashing al
vanceG the opiniof that the injunction canno,
lssus aeiihst The Secretary of War, any more

eause the official acts of that Secretary are
the executive acts of the President, nd the
Secretary is the executive agent of the Pres
