The fact that the Secretary Of the Inferior has desg
mated Gen. Garfield as a Commissioner to remove the
Flat Head Indians from Bitter Root Valley Montana 70

here by the friends of the latter gentleman with great
inasmuch it will relieve him from the
implied obligation OF entering actively into the Grant
campaign It is probable that the Generals departure
will be delayed time, and that he VIII not DC aDe
to return to the states in time to make any Grant
speeches In addition this It should be remembered
that Mr. Garfield the last days of the session, intro
duced in the House resolution which passed, author
zine the Committee OF which he is Chairman TO meet In
November arrange the Appropriation blls, SO as W
have them ready upon reassembling OF Congress
In view OF these facts is difficult 10 see how that
effective speaker will have any time 10 deVOe 10 u"n'
