The Trouble In the Indian Department.
The trouble between the Indian Advisory Board
and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs was not so
serious as has been represented in some OF the
papers. 1t seems to have been confined entirely to
Mr.. william WEIGH, the chairman OF the Board and
Mr.. Campbell, OF st. LOUIS, one of its members.
These gentlemen got 1t into their heads that they
were to control not only the two millions
appropriated by Congress for their expert
menL but all the money set apart in the
Indian Appropriation bill. They objected to
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs buying goods or
paying annuities without first consulting them. In
Short they proposed to supplant the Indian Bureau
and take Its business into their own hands. Mr..
WEIGH said this was the understanding when he ac-
cepted the appointment from the President. He did
not how any reform could be made in the Indian
Bureau, If things were to go on as usual. In his
opinion there would be as much abuse and corrup-
ton as ever. Commissioner Parker objected to this.
He was willing that some members Of the advisory
board should assist him making purchases for
the Indian Bureau Mr. George H. Stuart, of Phila-
delphia, q member Of the Board went with the
Commissioner to New York and helped him pur-
chase goods, all OF which was satisfactory. 1t ap
pears that Messrs. WEIGH and Campbell, were not
sustained by the other members Of the Board, who,
as soon as the intention Of Congress in providing
for their appointment and defining their duties was
explained to them readily acquiesced. Since WEIGH
and Campbell resigned the Board has been working
| IN perfect harmony with the Commissioner OF IL.
dian Affairs.
Another Difficulty Among the PrInters-Ap-
prentices i'm the Government Once.
Pending the Douglass controversy, which rests in
quiet until the next regular meeting Of the Typo
graphical Unsa, the printers Of this city have been
exercised with another question which threatened
disruption of their society. 1t appears that Super
ntendent Clapp is not satisfied with the appOrtion-
ment OF apprentices allowed to the Government
ONCE by the Union, ten being the number per-
mitted, while twenty have been demanded by him, as
more in accordance with his ideas Of justice. Ac-
cordingly ON the 9th instant series Of resolutions
bla tha
superintendent: to discharge his present apprentices
and employ ten others. majority OF the Union
evidently favored the proposition, but the
minority, acting under the belief that the resolu-
tons aside plain provision OF the constitution,
hampered the after proceedings with calls for the
ayes and noes privileged questions &C., so that an
adjournment was effected without decision OF the
question. Another special meeting was called for
tonight to consider the subject, which promised
the outset to be stormy one. Mr.. Davis, who leads
the opponents Of the Government once, raised q
point Of order "That the previous special meeting
had exhausted the subject for which the present
meeting was called.n The Chair decided the point
not well taken. motion was then made to suspend
the rules, on which the ayes and noes were de-
manded amid great confusion. Lost, one hun
dred and sixty.six to ninety ninetwo thirds being
necessary. At this time Mr. Mclean was intro
duced, in a speech counseing harmony and frater-
nal feeling, by the Vice President, Mr. Flynn who
enjoys much popularity with both parties in the
Union. Mr.. Mclean offered the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted nearly unanimously, there
being only two three opposing votes III body OF
nearly 800 men,
Resolved, That the question OF apprentices as az
fecting the government printing Office, and the
lutons introduced at special meeting held on the
9th inst be and the same hereby referred to
special committee OF five with instructions to report
to the regular meeting Of the Union and we pledge
ourselves to use every effort to action the
report IN preference TO any subject that is may
claiming attention.
The announcement Of the vote was received with
great applause, and the crowd dispersed after adj.
journment with remarkably good feeling compared
with the outward indications when they assembled.
