FAREWELL, FRAUDS.

[ comings, and Colyer, the cat's-paw of the Indian Ring thieves is in disgrace, as will be seen from the following:
 Mir. Vincent Colyer furnishes the following correspondence concerning his resignation as a member of the Board of Indian Commls- sioners, which resignation was accepted by the President:
 Washington, D. O., Feb. +, 1872 SIR: have the honor to herewith tender my resignation as a member of the Board of Indian Commissioners Permit me to say that until yesterday was not aware of the precise contents of the letter of the Secretary of the Interior, of the 18th ult., although aware at the time of my resignation of tue Secretaryship that some such letter had been received. I trust that this will be sufficient apology for my delay in retiring from the Board Thanking you for your kindness to me,
 am, very respectfully, your obedient ser want, VINCENT CoLYER.
 To the President.
 DEPARTMENT OF THE INFERIOR,
 Washington, D. c. January l2, 1872. Hon. Fslis E. BrunOt, Arlington House,
 Washington, D. C.:
 SIR: deem it necessary for the welfare and prosperity of that part of the public ser vice with which the Board of Indian CommIs- sioners is connected that this Board shall change its secretary. I have entertained the opinion for several months that this change is necessary, but for prudential reasons con- nected with the service, have waited for a proper time and occasion to express 1t. may add that I have made known to the 1 President as we'll as to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, my intention to make this re- quest, and am permitted to say that they join with me in sincere expression of regret for the necessity of this letter, as we'll as an earnest hope not only that the request may be complied with cheerfully, but that the motive which prompts it may be fully ap- preciated. 1 desire to express to you, and through you to each member of your Board, the most sincere sentiments of regard and es- teem.
 Very respectfully, your obedient servant, c. DELANo,
 Secretary of the Interior.
 "1t is a long lane that has no turning" MT Colyer. You, no doubt, feel sorry that the necessity for removing you should have arisen. We hail it as good evidence that the Secretary of the Interior and President Grant have Fowlerized your bumps and found you to be very foul fraud. It is hard on you to be shelved in such manner, although you have been let down easy. Don't you wish you hadn't told so many falsehoods about matters and things in this unfortunate Territory, and, above all, don't you wish your name here wasn't "Greene2" An, you natty little criminal what, now, will become of the squaw you made love to at Camp Apache and what about the prom- ses you made the Apaches, to feed, clothc and, by the aid of soldiers, to protect them from the settlers; and your lying affidavit men-can't you come out and console such of them as have not already silently stole them selves out of the Territory
 "Vcngeance is mine" saith the Lord. You and your kind have scourged Arizona, and now the Lord is taking vengeance upon you. You clung to position longer than the Sec retary of the Interior wished you, and you had to be kicked out at last
 How changed your circumstances must now be from what they were while you were here, travelling through the Territory, dispens- ing presents to murderous savages and bribes to affidavit-men, with lavish hands. An, su- percillious upstart, you are no longer clothed with power to take White mems farms from them and declare said farms parts and parcels of Indian Reservations. The clank of pro- tecting sabres will never again be heard by you in Arizona, unless, indeed, you may con- clude to come back at your own expense and take up residence in that shaft, of which we reminded you while here.
 Thanks, thousand thanks to President Grant for shelving you, and may God have mercy on your soul for the wrongs you have inflicted on Arizona and her white people.
