WILLIAM WELSHS LETTER TO THE
PRINIULNI


An open letter written last week to the
President by William Welsh of Philadelphia
contains a summary of facts to which we
wish to urge attention
Gen. Grant, after his Inauguration, expressed
so strongly his repugnance to the long estsb =
lished system of frauds upon the Indians in
the Interior Department, and his desire to
assist in any course which would tend
to their removal and the civilization and
Christianization of the red man, that,
encouraged by this profession, the friends
of the Indian in Congress procured the pas
sage of an act authorizing an unpaid Commits
sion of men of tried integrity who were to
have joint control with the Department over
contracts, expenditures, etc. Such control has
never been ceded to it, Its powers, in defiance
of the act, have been limited to the giving of
advice, which the Department followed OF
not at its pleasure Mr.. Welsh. the Chairman,
"beng," as he says, unwilling to assume
Responsibilities without any power of control"
resigned his office, but has since given no less
his time, labor, and influence Cat his own
cost to the ameliOratiOn of the condition Of
the Indian, and to the attempt TO place white
and red man in a different relation toward
each other, and to compel at least decent
amount of honesty and justice from the Chris
tian as from the savage. Finding the Indian
Ring too powerful to combat except by direct
attack, Mr.. Welsh now lays before the Presi-
dent the present condition of affairs. This
Ring has much more influence in the Interior
Department than the Commission, whose pow
ers legally are cOextensive and equal with
those of the Department so far as Indian af-
fairs are concerned. Contracts are made and
secretly carried out by which both
the Indians and the Government are
imprisonment for the nOn-r recording of
every contract in the returns .Office, where
it could be open to public inspection. From
the Assistant Secretary of the Interior draw
ing illegally eight dollars day while visiting
Indian agencies, in addition to his expenses
and salary, to the charge of .fOrtyfive dollars
per trip for railroad fares to New-York of a
clerk going weekly to visit his family,
the whole system appears to be perme-
ated with fraud AS an example, Mr..
Welsh cites the sale of immense bodies of
pine timber, withou the knOwiedge Of some Of
it's Indian OUners, and against the wish of
those who did know it, by Agent Smith, now
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for 81 10 a
thousand while far less valuable timber
by the same Smith was valued at 81 50 or 49,
The sale made. without previous adver
tising, to friend Of Smith's. a certain a. ii.

UORHIyG NEWS GRIEVAECES.

No one can look at the proceedings of the
workingmen in search of occupation which
will procure them living and in protest
against state Of things which keeps them and
their families hungry, without lively sympa-
thy and interest. This feeling will not be
destroyed by anything the wOrkingmen may
do Their very mistakes and errors only give
them stronger claim upon the forbearance
of more fortunate citizens and upon the con-
sideratiOn of the authorities. If they are out
Of work through no fault of their own if they
associate in clubs and public meetings because
they are out of work = if being gathered to-
gether they listen to the criminal and foolish
talk of idle and worthless vagabonds, and
are thus led into acts which are as unlawful
as they are inexpedient, we cannot but recog-
nize in all this chain of events which, while
it does not free the participants from a full
responsibility for their acts, entities their
grievances and even their errors to the kindest
and most serious judgment of the rest of the
community.

Wilder of Minnesota, although another BID
was in Smiths hands for portion Of 1t at q
higher price, Gen. Walker, former Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, states that his ap-
proyal of the sale was given in consequence
of Smiths representation that the price was
fair one, and that an immediate sale was
necessary to relieve the Leecb Lake Indians
from their pitiable condition of vagabOndage
and almost starvation. Wilder was to pay
$4,000 down, ont of which implements OF
husbandry, seeds, etc. were TO be purchased.
{" If this $4,000 was paid" says Mr.. Welsh.
"not one dollar of it has ever reached the

Mr.. Welsh urges upon the President and

The statement comes with the force OF

Putting all higher motives aside. it would
argue not only humanity but shrewdness in
the President to take heed to it or any other

AN EMINENT REPUBLICANS OPINION.

THE QUALITIES OF MIND WHICH RENDER MR..
CUSHING UNFIT FOR THE OFFICE.
A gentleman of high rank In the Republican
party and former emnence IN the victorious Reform
party of 1871 whose political ability has raised him to
position of great honor In tho representative
organization OF the most cultured members OF
the Republican party in this city. stated yesterday
that the confirmation OF Caleb Gushing as Chez
Justice o tho United States would inevitably cause
dscord In the ranks OF tho Republican party. Mr.
Cushing personal friend OF his and was eminently
fitted for the place his intellectual merits alone
considered. The qualities OF mind necessary for Chief
Justice required, however, added TO Intellectual

newspapers that Senator Sumner would advocate tho
confirmation OF Mr.. Gushing, nasmuch as he considered
that Mr. Sumner knew the requirements for 80 ofty

his friends that he Is old that he could not

more excitement than any other recent event Tho
followers of Mr. Conkling attempted TO spread tho
report that tho defeat had been the result Of afai

such damaging documents had been produced.
But tho real facts soon became known. To

friends declare themselves astounded that when hs

ought not to have delayed this duty moment but
he allowed the opportunity TO pass The kepubii-

New-York tribune., 1874-01-14

This time it is a caucus of Republican Sen
ators which asks the President to withdraw
his nomination for the -Justiceship. The
very natural discovery in the Rebel archives
of letter from Mr.. Gushing to Jefferson
Davis, President at the time of the Southern
Confederacy, recommending man for
Office, has furnished the Senate the
opportunity to override Mr.. Conkling,
and rebel against tho Presidents second
choice. The Presidents failure to withdraw
the nomination of his own motion, after he
had seen this letter, excites great surprise.
Whether he will choose to do so now, or
prefer to take the chance of forcing
the nomination through by union
of the solid Democratic vote with the
more faithful of his immediate per-
sonal followers in the Senate, remains to be
seen. Not the least deplorable feature of this
wretched business is the fact that it has assumed
the shape of an acrimonious struggle for
partisan advantages, in nomination

The Senatorial struggle in Virginia has
finally terminated in the election OF Lieut.
Gov. r. L. Withers. The successful candi-
date has had leading chance from the be-
ginning, the chief obstacle to his victory be-
ing the question of locality. He is from
Wytbe County in the southwestern part OF
the State 1t was claimed by his opponents
that as the western citizens of Virginia were
already represented by Mr.. Johnston in the
Senate, the eastern counties should have the
seat to be vacated by Mr.. Lewis That argu-
ment seems to have been overcome. Lieut.
Gov. Withers was colonel in the COnfeder-
ate service; subsequently, he became editor
of The Lyachburg NepS, and was the Con-
servative candidate for Governor in 1868.
Last Fall, he hOtly contested the nomination
for Governor with Gen. Kemper, and when
the Conservatives finally nominated that gen
tleman, he took the second place on the
ticket, and received the largest number of
votes cast for any candidate. Possibly his
course in that canvass earned the gratitude
of his political associates, and facilitated his
election for Senator. Mr.. Withers has good
reputation as an honest and capable legis-
lator he is fair speaker, and is expected to
make trst-rate impression in the United
States Senate.

The Broglie Cabinet appears to accept the
vote of confidence as fixing it firmly in the
possession of power. Its Premier has IN
formed the Committee of Thirty what are the
terms of compromise upon which he will be
willing to allow the French people to vote in
future. He says the Government "will
"accept" 25 years of age and three years
continuous residence as the qualifications of a
voter This will dsfranchise several millions
of young men and a large proportion of the
skilled artisans of France-the classes where
Republican principles have heretofore been
strongest. In this way NJ de Broglie, doubt
less, hopes he can guard against the annoy
ing recurrence of those Government defeats
which have become of late so monotOnOusly
disagreeable to him.
