DEATH OF PRoF. MAuRY.- Commodore
Matthew Fontaine Ma Try, formerly L. S.
photographic and naval officer, died in
Lexington, Va, Saturday afternoon. He
was the author of Letters on the Amazon
and the Atlantic slopes of South America
Relation between Magnetism and the Cir
culation of the Atmosphere, Astronomical
Observations, Physical Geography of the
Sea, etc. During the late war be was an
officer in the rebel navy. and at the time of
his death was Professor of Physics at the
Virginia Military Institute. His age was
sixty-seven years. For time he occupied
a prominent position among the scientific
men of America. Many of his theories
have been proved incorrect by later investi-
cations, but his practical observations in
relation to winds and currents indicated the
shortest and safest ocean thoroughfares, and
doubtless resulted in saving many lives and
much property. In deserving his country's
flag to follow his state into secession be
dimmed an honorable fame, and as a con-
sequence ended in comparative obscurity
life which otherwise would have been pub
licly mourned by the nation,

TuE CHocrAw INDIAN CLAIM FRAUD
Senator Harlan reported from the Indian
Committee recently; in favor Of paying what
IS known as the net proceeds claim OF the
Choctaw Indians. amounting to more than
% DOC. 900. From some statements made IN
regard to this claim by Senator Edmund-,
when the Indian Appropriation bill was be-
fore the Senate, on January 18th, and from 4
report of an investigation made at Secretary
Boutwell's suggestion by the Solicitor oil
the Treasury, there are grave doubts as to the
Justice of this claim The foundation OF 1t
is a supposed award made by the Senate I'M
der a treaty of 1855. Senator Edmunds' IN the
debate reierred to denied that any suchaward
had ever been made What the Senate did
do was to make an appropriation Of $500 900
on this claim without knowing all the facts
IN the case. As far as can be gathered
from the reports referred to, the Indians
settled up all their claims with the govern
lnent prior to 1855. The treaty Of that date
seems to have been fraudulently made Tor
the purpose Of obtaining money, and IN
1861, Congress appropriated S5OOOOO, sup
posing that the government owed 1t. Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of tins
was paid in cash, and it is asserted that this
whole sum was divided among some nOtori-
0uslObbyistsin Washingtona few hOursaiter
it was drawn from the treasury. The other
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was
to be paid in bonds, but the war broke out,
and the Choctaws joined the Conteder-
ates and never got them. These bonds
were alterward confscated and the
proceeds paid back into the treasury
In 1871, Congress, still under a misap-
prehension of the facts. passed an act
directing the Secretary Of the Treasury to
pay over these bonds TO the Indians. Mr..
Boutwell, made an Investigation. and, after
many days search, there was found in the
files Of the Treasury Department receipt
in full for all claims against the United
States by the ChOctaws, signed and ratified
BY the Council of that nation, in 1872, three
years before the new treaty. on which this
- ,OOO. 900 claim i based. was made. Mr..
Edmunds moved an amendment 10 the ap-
preparation bill, suspending the act Of 1871
until a judicial Investigation could be made.
This was passed, and the bill has gone to a
Conference Committee Meantime Mr..
Harlan has reported in favor Of the pay
ment Of the entire sum. The whole matter
should be carefully looked into before any
action Is taken.

The approaching Inauguration of Prssi-
dent Grant will probably be the occasion of
one of the grandest displays ever witnessed
in this country. The Washington cores
pendent Of the Albany Erening Journal
says OF it;
The busy note of preparation for the com
ing Inauguration Is loud and continuous,
and everything bids fair for grand success.
The affair, though mainly managed by resi-
dents Of Washington, will be national in
character. Representatives from each State
have been or will be placed on the different
committees. The building for the grand
ball in the evening is being rapidly and
Vigorously pushed towards completion. The
dancing floor will be three hundred feet
long by one hundred in width dining.
cloak, toilet and other rooms are being
made IN proportion, and it is thought that
the jam OF the last Inauguration will
not be repeated, although seven thousand
tickets will be issued, which will be ont about
the middle of February. The irrepressible
Gilmore will be present with about sixty
performers. Several fine bands have already
been engaged, and to-day an effort will be
made to engage Theodore Thomas orches
ira, which is always greeted with full houses
by Washington.
The procession will, undoubtedly, with
the exception of the march of Sherman's
army through Washington, be the most i'm
posing affair of the kind ever witnessed at
the National Capital. In the evening, too,
that grand avenue, marred only by Riker's
Ridge, extending from the White House TO
the Capitol, will be Illuminated its entire
length.
Advices received from many of the States
indicate an immense throng ofvisitors, pro-
badly greater number than ever gathered
here as visitors.
The Finance Committee, headed by such
sterling men as Gov. Cooke and Alexander
X. Shepperd, have assurances that leave
little doubt as to the affair being not only
magnificent in execution but also financially
q success.

with one announcement bath room, without
the possibility of running water in the dres-
sing rooms, with no private entrance, and
