Opposition to Grants (sdalser Indian Policy
Kansas and Nebraska Refuse TO Surrender
Their Share Or the spoils.
There Is considerable i'll feeling among the Senators
and members from TIE extreme Northwestern States
about the Presidents appointment OF Quaker Indian
agents in those States. IL appears that the Senators
and Representatives from Kansas and Nebraska
learning Of the Presidents intention to appoint the
Quakers, called upon him and extracted promise
from him that he would not appoint Quakers FOR the
Indian agencies IN their respective States. He fur
ther agreed TO allow them to select the men whom
they wished to have appointed With this under
standing, and happy in the belief that whoever else
might suffer Kansas and Nebraska would not DC
inflicted with the Quakers, the Representatives OF
Tie two States left the Executive presence. That
was between ten and eleven O'Clock in the morning
About two O'Clock on the afternoon of that
same day the Presidents private secretary brought
TO the Senate q batch OF nominations among
which were the Quaker Indian agents. TO the utter
surprise OF the Kansas and Nebraska men, the list
Included appointments for all the Indian agencies in
those two States. In selfdeepce, If not out of retail
iatlon these agents were promptly rejected by the
Senate. Tie injured Kansas ara Nebraska
again called upon the President, and demonstrated
promise Grant, however, was mad; he was mex
orabe, and sad lie would appoint other Cua.ers for
those IeJeeted, and the Senate might reject them
again II it chose. he wanted to carry cut his own
policy about indian matters, ana he thought 1t
would succeed best in the hands OF Quakers. What
especially provoked the Nebraska men was the fact
that one Of the parties removed to make room for
the Quakers was a man who had been commissioned
by President Grant only few weeks before. Thus
far the Kansas and Nebraska Senators have been un-
able TO make the President relent.

Alleged Corruption in the American Consulate
ut Alexandria, Egyrt.
II is rumoyed here in well informed circles that the
corruption which has long been known to charac-
terize all the European consular agencies IN Egypt
has at length reached that OF the United States Our
Consul Mr. Charles Hail. has. It is said, been granted
salary by the Viceroy. il is added that this step
has been taken With the advice and concurrence
OF the French Consul General, who is high in
favor at the viceregal court. The rumor may
not be well founded but informant speaks Of It
az well established fact. In official circles 1t ~
well known that this is the general Egyptian prac-
tice. Isman Pacha is found to have representa-
tive agents from otner LANDS in Egypt but he wishes
them 20 be as dumb as possible. The Vceroy has
strong faith IN the power OF money. 'Baokshecsh,"

rlcau eagle. lie forgcs that the United states has
vigilant press, and that the American people win not
tolerate such conduct IN their foreign agents. This
matter ought TO bc thoroughly sf,ed. If Mr.. Hale

A rather novel question has come up IN conncr-
zion with the case OF Colonel Grove, recently
appointed and confirmed as Governor OF New
Mexico. Ills political disabilities have never been

enter on tac duUcs Of bis office. The President has
asked the Attorney General If he can make an
appontnena a. interim, or II there ts any way IN
when GROVE can assume his oGice n tlis IL &c.
cidel Ia the negative, General MITCHELL the present
Governor, viii probably remain in the position until
Congress- can act on Cr0we's case next winter.
