shaking, the Indians arranged themselves on the
east side of the Presidents office, while the
President and Spotted Tail, together with the
| interpreter, occupied an open window on the
| south. The conversation was opened by Spotted
Tail, who said, through the interpreter, that he
was somewhat tired now, but would have
something to say to the President to- morrow.
| The President replied that he would not be i'll
| town tomorrow, but that Spotted Tail could
| and Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who acted
by his authority. The President said he under
| stood that Spotted Tail wanted to talk about
the change OF tie location of the agency. He
| would not force this change, but thought it
| would be better for the Indians themselves, as
100000 would thus be saved in transportation
and the money expended Tor the benefit OF the
Indians. Spotted Tail replied: "Those young
| men whom you see around you are good men,
| and as cannot give you an answer will take
counsel with them to- day to what it is best for
| Us to do" The President again informed them
that they could make the result of their confer

Il
Since have been among these Indians have
| found them not only peaceable, but having a
disposition to preserve friendship with the
whites" and also said that Spotted Tail had
always cOunselled peace and insisted that the
orders OF the government must be Obeyed,
Spotted Tail said he had few words to say to
the President, understand that there is to be
new election tor President in a few months.
L hope you will be successful as you have
always been very kind to us Indians. The
President replied, whatever may be the re-
an yuill ha ncha i,,t baI
policy of the government" The interview
here ended, and, after again shaking hands
the Indians departed.
THE PLOT TO BURN y oRTHRRN CITIEs.-The
letter Of Jacob Thompson to j. z. Benjamin,
secTefa ~ OF state of the southern confederacy,
found among the confederate archives which
have recently been sold to this government,
shows that Thompson was the regularly author
lZed agent OF the confederacy, both for the pur
pose of procuring the burning of New YORK.
Philadelphia, st. Louis and Cincinnati, and for
organizing counter revolution at the north.
For these purposes Thompson and his associates,
Clay, HolcOmbe and Saunders, were supplied
with one million dollars in gold. and in further
ance OF their schemes they were in communica-
ton with residents at the north, and met some
of them personally at Niagara. The ST. Albars
raid and the attempt to free the confederate
pr soners at JohnsOn's island were some of the
results. 1t is said this letter possesses the great
est public interest of all the documents which
have thus far been examined. 1t Is very long,
Thompson and his associates. The papers are
all In the custody of the Treasury department.
THE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR SCHURz-
The charge made by Senator Schurz. in his ST.
Louis speech, to the effect that he had been
offered official patronage by President Grant or
his friends to vee against his convictions of duty
in regard to the annexation Of San Domingo,
has been brought to the attention OF the Pres
ident, who prOnOunces the whole statement, as
far as 1T attempts to reflect on him. as absolutely
unfOunded in fact. In no way was any one ever
authorized to tender to Mr.. SchurZ or any other
Senator the control or use of any patronage for
his approval of the San Domingo annexation
policy or any other measure OF this administra-
ton. The President expresses his earnest desire
that Mr.. Schurz will at once publish the letter
he claims to have relative to this pretended
prOiler, in order that if any one has so imposed
upon the Senator it may lead to full expose OF
the dishonest motives and character OF such
person. Will the Senator produce his proof or
retract his charge?
