reach the agency, but would respectfully
suggest not to depend on too small force.
Two thousand Indians could be concen-
trated here in short timo. A regiment
of men inside this stocksde could defend
il against any force they could raise but
the difficulty is TO got them here. Tho
Indians have sentinels all over the coun-
try, and keep n line along the hills OF the

from the Fort would be preceded
by the Indians. ! think if troops ,tart a.
shutdown and ride here without delay, we
can hold the agency until they arrive.
The Indians can DO taken by surprise
now, but two weeks later they VIII sur
nrise us. We will stand on the defensive
until you arrive. ! would suggest tina,

MORE ABOUT THE SANBoRN
CONTRACTS.

CONTRACTS.
The enormity OF the frauds upon the
the United States treasury involved IN
tho uSanborn contract IL made more ev.
iden, as their history lie slowly opened up
to the public. No; the leas; melancholy
feature Of the whole conspiracy is the ALL
hut proven connection with !, Of such
men as Ex-Secretsry, now Senator
Boutwell,, the present Secretary
O. the Treasury, William A
Richardson. and others whose integrity
should be, bat is not, above suspicion
Fo, not quite two years, John u. Sanborn
has been the special agen, Of the treasury
aepartmen, for the collection of certain
unpaid taxes, possessing, during this time
.he mower 20 examine oil the ASSESSORS and
collectors, books in the country, the
authority 10 do so having been
conferred upon him BY Boutwell,
when secretary Of the treasury, by An or
der in the secretsry's own handwriting
The first mine of wealth worked by San
born under his contrsc. with the treasury
department by which be was TO retain one
half Of ell his collections, was the coliec'
ton Of claims of six millions OF dollar
against thirty-eight distillers and rec'ih
ers OF New York city for unpaid taxes
The second contract wss for taxes agains
the estates of such millionaires as John }
Phelps, benjamin Nathan, William Cur
/, tis Noyes, &c. taxes which had been reg
, ularlv assessed and would have been res

to place half tho money in b
own pocket, fores.slled the Unite
s. States collector and taken his duty out

an If the exposures recently made do not
asst. crate to put an end to the system UNI
:, which such raids upon the treasury

lA' less than S3,O0o,e0o.
