back and live with him, which she agreed
to on Monday. lie then left the house and
returned in ten minutes with large navy
revolver, and found Mrs. McDermOt nurs-
ing her baby. He raised the weapon and
deliberately fired at her. The ball struck
the baby in the forehead, passing clear
through IFS head and lodging in the right
breast of its mother, producing a probably
fatal wound. He then placed the revolver
TO his head and blew his own brains out.
The baby died instantly. But little
hoees are entertained for the recovery of
its mother.

WASHINGTON.
Resignation of the Board of In

Empty Compliments and Grave COM
enthusiastically Indian Policy

Failure.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Felix X. BTJI-
not, Robt. Campbell, Nathan bishop, Vim.
Z. Dodge, Jno. V. Farewell and Gen. III.
Stuart, the remaining members of the In
dian Commissioners originally appointed,
have united in letter to President Grant,
resigning the office. After congratulating
the President for his adherence to the In
dian policy announced in his inaugural adj
dress and expressing the hope that the
present success of the policy may make per-
manent, they say;
awhile we do not deem it necessary to
present all the reasons which have decided
us to resign, we may say that should Con-
gress continue the Board of Indian Com
missioners as indicated in the Indian ap-
preparation bill, which has already passed
the House of Representatives, viz: all the
duties imposed by existing laws and
requiring, in regard to the examination
of accounts, contracts and vouchers, that
all such examinations and duties shall
hereafter be performed in the city Of Wash
ington we could not accept the duty:
First, because under existing laws the over
ruling of the decisions of the Board by the
Interior Department, would frequently rem
der the labor of examining and deciding
upon accounts and vouchers as usless as it
is odious and vexatious; and second, be-
cause none of us can remove to Washing
ton to perform the duty. Experience has
shown that the Board of Indian
Commissioners Clothed with the Iro-
per authority and acting in Co
operation with the Department of the
Interior, but not under its direction or con-
troll, can hardly maintain harmonious rela-
tions with that department. On the other
hand, board so constituted and under the
influence or control of the Interior or In
dian Department, would be a comparative
" useless appendage to the service" The
letter closed by expressing a conviction of
the capacity of the Indians to relieve all the
civilization necessary for the welfare and
safety of the frontier settlements, and all
the ChriStianization needful 10 their saliva
ton.
