TIL GREAT CaER0kEE SWlSDLE AGAIN.

WASHINGTON, April 3, 1869.
The Indian ring Is moving heaven and earth to get
the great Cherokee treaty swindle that was SO thor
ouShly exposed in the HERALD OF February - and
March /. confirmed IN Senate secret session before
the adjournment.
ltwil be remembered that one single article Of the
'reay takes the national Treasury 90, 500 oco
ani the whoie amount required to satisfy 1t would
be not less, 1t is estimated by good judges, than
$4,000, ooo-all to satisfy treaty made between
the United States and handful or It's own citizens
In looking through the law library Of the Supreme
Court j stumbled upon an Old document whlc6
though generally regarded q dead letter by mod.
ern politicians, IL said by eminent lawyers to have

Constitution VI the Unted states. Section one ar
tiee fourteen, is as follows:"AlI persons born or
naiurdleb in the United states, ami subject To the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens OF the United
Sates-r

washington correspondence Chicago Tribune.l
TO see General Sprague Senator Sprague and the
mllonnalre Sprague as ne sits IN Congress would
probably be disappointment to you. We buIld out
OF our notions Of warrior, rich man and politician
the ngure u large, broad-shOuldered full-stom-
ached man, with god seals a look Of command and
commercial manner0f eXpedlting business. Mr..
Sprasue is altogether different. You see little,
narrow shouldered, smooth-faced boy not over five
feet five inches HIGH with an eye glass; bashful
manner. quite alone and reserved, sitting in q de-
spending way low in his chair tearing up bits OF
paper, and having the appearance OF young
DIVINITY student No enthusiasm corresponding to
h,s boyishness is revealed IN his face. He and
senator loss, who sits beside hun, are the least
frequent speakers IN the House. We have got
over the nolon of expecting much from HIM. ana
we say Little Rhody" and 'LItte Spsssuen like
ccrre.ative terms. 1t ~as, tncreore, with sur
that, iIst rrioay, we saw this quiet little
come out in the aisle and tackle the great legal
question OF the tenure OF oce with an original and
veaeinent agsresslveness which was as strange in
manner as II was ineXplicaole in motive. There he
had been sitting silent during seven years. Now he
rose and delivered an attack upon the age the law
the constitution, tue war, the Senate and human
society. There has been nothing like 1t eXemplihed
In history or In fiction, except perhaps, tine cele-
brated revolt OF Oliver Twist against Noah Caypoe
and Beadle Bundle. SO lnc0ngruous, 50 queer and
livered IN the Senate The manner OF Senator
Sprague in making this speech was aggressive and
sprted, like one long restive under Tie chatng OF
Invisible woes. He walkei into the aisle, looked
squarely into the faces OF those whom he supposed
ms various periods lifted and made such astonlsh-
ment as ne progressed that blank faces greeted his
peroratiOn.

Exnminc the Method Adopted by thr rrc,.

aud Destruction Of National Securities.


NAsHINCToN, April 4 1870
In March. 1861, the two Houses OF Congress passnd
a concurrent resolution directing the Join. Com
miiiee on Retrenchment to maze a careful and
minute examination OF the method adopted by the
Treasury department to print the bonds notes ana
securities OF the United States; what guards have
been adopted 10 prevent fraud Or mistake. and
what additional guards, II any ought 20 be adopted
TO prevent fraud or mistake; and whether there has
been any fraudulent or erroneous issue Of bonds
notes or coupons, aud II 80, by whose fault or negi.
gence, aud tie proper remedy ana prevention there.
of and especially TO examine the Official conduct OF
those charged with the printing. registration and
issuing OF any notes, bonds or securities of the
United states, &C.
Senator Edmunds has reported that a sub-com.
mittee, composed OF himself, Mr.. Buckalew and Mr..
Ialsey, were charged with the special duties i'm.
posed devoted all the time possible to the extensive
complicated and important Inquiries involved in II.
and the result OF their labors Ia now presented to
the Senate. The sudden and enormous Treasury and
financial operations caused by the rebellion were
Treasury existing at its commencement, and hence
IL was to be expected that more or less OF irregu-
lsrity, ana even Of fraud ana peculation, would
exist In Its new operations which were required
TO be entered upon for the sake OF the
public service, that systematic organization
and regularity OF detail could scarcely at
irst have been expected. As Will be seen
from what follows this possibility or probability or
error iooseness and want Of regularity was realized;
but II Is believed that very extensive losses have
occurred In consequence, and 1t is possible, and In
some nsfanees perhaps probable, that many Of the
