INDIAN AFFAIRS.
CommIssiouer Parker's Defense.

Commissioncr PRrker's Defense.
Commissioner Ely 8. Parker has addressed to
the Secretary of the Interior a long defense of
his administration, from which we take:his sum-
ming up of the question:
In conclusion / desire to express a convic-
tion which has forced itself upon my mind, that
these gratuitous charges upon the Indian Office
are but determination to carry out certain
theories put forth by MIR. Welsh in 1869. II will
be recollected that in April, 1869, President
Commissioners authorized to be appointed
under the act of Congress of April 10, 1859. He
then claimed that the expenditure of all Indian
appropriations was also intended to be placed in
the hands of said Commission. To this propo-
sition Hon. ]. ID. Cox, then Secretary of the In
terror, and myself, dissented and in this we were
sustained by the President. He then resigned
from the commission, and has since labored as
a voluntary agent, 1t seems, keeping watch
full eye upon the transactions of the Indian
Office, with view to detecting Irregularities
and exposing them and thereby taking from it
the management of the Indian funds. The de-
termination of the President to call In the rel-
gious element of the country to aid in the man
agement of Indian affairs, and the Episcopal
Society, of which Mr.. Welsh is prominent
member, having had assigned to them most
of the Dakotah district as their special field
of labor has opened the most plausible pre-
text to renew the attempt of 1859, at least SO
far as that society has acquired jurisdiction in
Dakotah, notwithstanding the Indian Office has
buC pciCC 6uu hCpe tuC 1uuldub COul-
paratively quiet there and elsewhere. / will
not assert that he and his associates, or any
other religious organizations, are not as COM
petent to manage and disburse Indian funds as
the Indian Bureau; but there being at present
no law authorizing such course, the bureau
is bound to repel all such attempts. Since the
accession OF President Grant to the office of
Chief Executive of the nation the Indian Bureau
has been conducted solely and wholly with a
view to the maintenance of peace and the
avoidance of expensive and horrible Indian
wars, the amelioration of their condition and
their advancement in civilization. / also think
it proper to remark that during the past and
preceding year the communications from Mr..
Welsh relative to Indian affairs have not always
been couched in those terms Which might be
expectedfrom one not authorized to dictate or
control; but as there was probability that his
motive was desire to promote the welfare OF
the Indians, his wishes have, as far as the same
were practicable and not incompatible with ex-
listing laws, been complied with. Very respect
fally, your obedient servant,
ELY 8. PARKER.
