not Tor worlds suspect 70 oo Ho non"
of Secretary Delano himself, Is the
principal part of tho pamphlet and the sole
reason for its existence. Mr.. DelanO Is greatly
troubled in mind by I" the extraordinary efforts
"of THE NEw-YORK TRIBUNE to give pub
"licity to the charges of Prof. Marsh," and
Disguised that the Professors letter to the
President should have first seen the light
through the medium of this journal, which,
az the Secretary ought to know by this time
is usually very prompt In printing all news OIL
public importance. 1t il hard to say whether
he is more incensed at the Professor for writ
ing the letter, or at THE TRIBUNE for giving
it circulation but we believe he entertains
profound contempt for us both.
1t is hardly worth while to waste much ',me
in correcting the falsehOOds OF TINS fuoiic
Document. THE TRIBUNE had nothing 10 no
directly or indirectly with the preparation or
instigatiOn OF tho charges; 1t dld NOT PRINT
them before they were sent to tho frcsiueht'
but the day after; it is not true that Prof.
Marsh waited six months after his return
from the Indian country before making the
complaints of Red Cloud public. These Things
are trihes; it is of some consequence however
that when private gentleman of high char
acter, in his zeal for the purity OF the puDlic
service and his kind feeling towards the In
dams. makes a respectful and in every way
proper report to the President OF facts
which came under his personal observation,
the Government printing press is Immediately
called into reouisition to abuse him, and de-
famatory attack upon him is spread all over
the country, with the frank of the Interior De-
the writer knows but little, and that consists
"mainly of information gained since he be-
"camc the ostcnsible author of certain charges
"against the Red Cloud Indian Agent. lie Is
"a professor mt Yale College, which lnsf,tu-
" ton received some endowment from the iate
" Mr.. George Peabody, who was RELATION oi
O. the professor, and which endowment was
" probobly intended to advance his interests"
That is probably one of the most vulgar exhl-
bitions of ignorance and insolence that ever
appeared in an American Public Document
which ia saving a great deal. But Mr.. Delano
does not stop there. He accuses the Professor
of insincerity and ends by declaring that all
the charges of which he il Ostensibly' the
author. were in reality manufactured by
Tur TRIBIrNE, i'm order to secure an object
cit has long sought to obtain. namely, the
al injury of the Secretary of the Interior"
Mr. Delano has too high an idea OF his own
consequence. 1t is not every man who is i'm
portant enough to inspire a great newspaper
with the unrelentng personal luminosity which
he imagines we entertain towards INN anu
though we have pretty mean opinion OF
him, we should certainly have much meaner
opinion of ourselves if we wasted time,
trouble, and energy in doing him injuries
and hiring professor in Yale College to help
lis in the Satanic work In common with the
majority of Americans, however, we hate Rings,
especially sanctimOnious Rings, and believe this
is a very good time to get rid OF them.
