in his experience. Gen. Siblcy one of the Commits
soncrs, fully agreed with the Professor in this
opinion.
Another question brought ont a remarkable state
ment respecting the ascertained distance from Chey
emo to the Red Cloud Agency. There has been
considerable discussion this point, the ground
that the contractors had overstated the distance in
charging by the mile for transportation between
those points Prof Marsh said it would be an
easy matter TO decide this controversy by
reference to an official measurement by
means Of the odOmeter; survey which
is now on record at Cheyenne in the Office of the
Suryeyor-Cencral of Wyoming There was q run-
ming discussion after this statement As to whether
the large difference might not be referred TO the
necessity of using different roads at various seasons
but the Professor did not seem to think the points
raised subvered his position. There could DO no
question of the figures of the survey
Finally, in reply to questions to selecting clergy
men for Indian agents and the general workings of
the system, Prof Marsh said that tho post of
Indian Agent was in great demand, and there
was a scramble for agencies among tho different
religious denominations of tho country. Even
dminutive sects claimed their share in this
division. Statements this effect were made to him
upon good authority. The clergyncn who obtained
these posts were not unGrequenty superannuated.
At best they were men who before had been
called upon TO handle and distribute large amounts.
They were suddenly placed in positions whore values
to the extent of 100000 annually placed in
their hands, before that experience they had never
been called on 10 handle more than 81 900 year.
The effect these agents was. in many instances,
very unfortunate.
Do you mean to say that they become dishOn-
est" asked Commissioner. " 1 do not say that
replied the Professor "but do say that tho kind of
men that can be hired TO take their life in their
hands and remain in stOckade where they are so
exposed TO physical and moral dangers for IL 800
year. is not the kind that should DO trusto without
watching when, as at the Red Cloud Agency. they
have to distribute more than 800 900 year. They
may be honest. but they ikoly to DO lacking in
the business capacity for such trusto

Tom Seott's Pacific Railroad.
Alleged Corruption of Members Of
Congress.

NEW YORK, Feb 1.-The Sun prints five
columns of documents, showing that stock and
money was paid to several members of Con-
gress by Fremont and his friends interested in
his Ell Paso and Pacific Railroad. The amour t
used to bride Congress was $11 100000 Among
the persons given shares were w. Scott Smith,
400. NJ L. Hunter, 5000, r. G. Mccormick,
1000. Frank Fuller, 400, Gen. Heintzelman,
400. and transfer of $780, 000>worth of shares
and cash to the amount OF 800, 900 were paid to
Icnatius Donnelly.
The Sun says before the passage of the Pa
cific Railroad bill ia 1871, friends of Thomas A.
Scott determined to control the enterprise and
throw Fremont out into the cold, This was
accomplished by having it understood that after
the passage of the bill and organization of the
COMPANY a construction company would be
formed and controlled by the Senate through
stock held by the Senators in another company.
A contract was entered into with the Texas q
Pacific Company for building the road, from
which very large profits would be made. After
the passage of the bill large number of mem
hers of Congress became directly or Indirectly
interested IN said construction company and
but for the privilege of TAXI G stock in said
comnanv never would have voted for said bill.
Gen. Butler took a very large quantity of
stock, and was conspicuous in his efforts to Sc
cure the passage of the bill. He was also
known on the floor the House as a leader
and wire puller of the Tom Scott faction
The chief reliance of Tom Scott now is upon
the stockholders of the California & Texas
Construction Company in the FL )use and Sen
ate An honest investigation would show sew
eraI millions of stock held by Senators an(
members, their near confidential friends and
relations, and also that Fremont originally con
trolled the Senate through stock held by Sen
ators in the other road.

which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
