WASHINGTON May %, 1859.
Disahection In the Cabinct-Tho Presidents
Eight Hour Law Proclamation.
1t is understood that Attorney General Hoar in not
at all pleased with the proclamation OF the President
overriding his opinion" OF the Eight Hour law
Hoar thinks that it the purpose OF the President
to set him aside in this manner there Is no use In his
giving an opinion at all. The Secretary OF the
Navy and Admiral Porter are Indifferent about the
matter. All they desired was some oficial pronun
ctdme1,to which would secure uniformity among
the government employees in the matter OF pay and
the hours OF labor This Is done effectually bv the
Presidents proclamation, though the case was SET
tled SO far as this was concerned, by the opinion OF
the Attorney General.
Ostracism in the Treasury Department-Abuse
Of Power by the appointment Clerk.
The appointment OF Thomas L. Tulock as Appoint
ment Clerk OF the Treasury is proving severe blow
to all the clerks who failed to subscribe to the cam
paign fund Of the republican party. 1t seems that
before he became Department Clerk he was secre-
tary Of the Congressional Republican Committee,
and In that capacity had appealed the
clerks to give according to their means for the
support OF the radical ticket Many OF the clerks
refused and Tullock kept record OF all such cases
for future action, Now, 1t s said he is contriving
to have all those clerks removed though many OF
them are sound republicans, and only had the rash
ness to refuse TO contribute what they could not
afford. Not only has Tullock done this. but
he has stretched his blIghting arm all
the members OF the Johnson Departmental
Club and all the conservative democratic
organizations who held positions in the Treasury.
The sweeping out has been pretty thorough and
complete already. 1t is further said that in short
time hence circular will be sent to all the clerks
asking for q confession OF their political creeds prior
| to future removals.
Minister MotIcy's Instructions.
The most that can be reliably ascertained OF the
instructions Minister Motley is that they are
of general than specific character, and do not
template any speedy action on his part with regard
| to the Alabama and other claims, in view Of the
present sentiment in England upon the subject, II
| for no other reason. Mr.. Motley will inform her
Majesty's government Of the desire Of our own to
| adjust all pending questions on basis that will
strengthen the friendly relations between the two
| countries.
Claim Agents-HOw Soldiers are Swindled.
| An Official, who has recently made tour of the
| South and gathered o mass OF damaging informa-
| tion regarding the swindles OF claim agents and
other people engaged in settling claims OF officers
and soldiers, is preparing report, which will be
completed in few days. and which, it is alleged, Will
contain the most dlsgraceul expose OF rascaty that
| has been turned up for long time
The KichapoO Indians Of Mexico Want to
Return to Their Old Reservati0n-indian
Revenge.
| Painted Rock Crossing State Of Chihuahua, Mex
| leo, ana are devastating the vast pastoral
| gions OF western Texas, went to that country
| from their reservation near Fort Scott, Kansas
| In 1861, to avoid participation in the war OF
| the rebellion. While on the way they were
met near the line Of Indian Territory by force OF
| confederates under Jack Baylor. cruel frontier
| fighter, who at one time recommended extermina-
tion as the true way of treating Indians. In this
| attack some OF the principal men Of the tribe to-
| gether with women and children, were killed. The
majority OF them finally reached Mexico, where
they swore vengeance against all Texans, and ever
since have been making raids into Texas killing many
| whites and stealing horses. Major Moore, OF San
| Antonio now in Washington, has just completed an
extensive trip of several thousand miles through the
regions infested by these savages and ascertained
they are anxious to return to their people on the
reservation in Kansas, rather the reservation
in the Indian Territory set aside for them by recent
act of Congress. They, however, will not trust
| themselves In Texas without an escort of troops.
| Major Moore by appointment, had conference with
| Commissioner Parker yesterday, during which he
laid the matter fully before him, recommending that
with the Indians and arranging for their return.
The Mayor showed that such q course would relieve
the Texan frontier from great evils and possibly
avert an expensive campaign. The Commissioner
took the subject under consideration and stated he
would also lay it before the Secretary OF the Interior
and at the same time said he had no doubt action
would Immediately be taken, provided the laws Of
Congress would permit.
