Those Indian Frauds.

Now comes the reply of the Commission
er of Indian affairs to the charges Of
frauds in the Red Cloud Agency in which
he says "The statement that these alleged
frauds have been frequently reported to
him heretofore without receiving atten-
ton, are absolutely false, and he refers to
the investigation by Bishop Hare's com
mittee some eighteen months ago, which
was made in tdnsequerce of similar
charges then made against the Red Cloud
Agency. Commissioner Smith says he
desires nothing so much just now, as th4
severest scrutiny of his official acts by
fair minded men respecting the charge
against Secretary Delano Of completely
with the frauds at the Red Cloud Agency,
and says it is but the simplest act of fair
ness for him to state that he has no knoHl-
edge of any such completely, and knows
of nothing tending to show it"
On the other hdtd, Prof. Marsh pro-
nounces this explanation by Commits
sidner Smith, q characteristic trick of the
Indian Bureau. "The old report cited by
the Commissioner is only one of a large
number on file in the Interior Department
that was favorable, and it is now well
known that the Special Commissioners
who made it, owing mainly to the short
time they were at the agency were mistak-
en- on several points, and some at least OF
these gentleme have since informed the
Department to this effect. arhe report
refers to different set of transactions
from those observed by Prof. Marsh and
his Investigations, and had no connection
whatever with those made by this COM
mission or any other. TO attempt to meet
his evidence by quoting an old report is
entirely avoiding the real issue and mis-
leading the public" So we have it-al-
legation and rebuttal, affirmation and de-
NAL on the one hand and the other, and
it is about time for something to be done
about it. Meanwhile the public confidence
in the present management of these Of
fairs is steadily diminishing at a rapid
rate: Are the friends ofPresident Grants
administration content to have things 60
after this fashjon?-GlObc.

The campaign is now waxing warm
in North Carolina The question be-
fore the people is that of changing
the C6ftstitation, which was framed

acts in 1868. The question of hold
ing q convention to revise it was sub
mited to the people in 1872 and de-
feated, so the last Legislature passed
an act providing for a convention,
without submitting the action to the
common vote. This has caused some
dissatisfaction, but does not appear to

is quite probable that the strongest

for revision is desire to get rid OF

by carpet-baggers and negroes, under
military rule, and have one of then

In the course of reading about "matters and

AS much of the Paris green that is sold for the
foregoing imposes is impure, in many cases not
Paris green at all, but chrome or imperial green
one of the Baltimore manufacturers furnishes the
department with the means of detecting adtilte-

"Place a small quantity of the green in test
tube, adding a small quantity of water and caus.

with little water to free it from the arsenite OF

SHELBURNE, July, 1875,

NJ Editor T.:
In your issue of 18th inst. notice quotation
from Ne,U York Herald in reference to Paris
green in which occurs wrong statement, calcu-
lated to mislead $50 far as quantities of the
substances named being required! As observer
for the Signal Service am furnished with copy
of the monthly report issued by the department
of agriculture, from which the paragraph men,
toned by the Herald is taken. The Heralds ver-
sion, as copied by you is as follows:
"The quantities recommended per acre are, for
Paris green about 800 lbs per acre, for arseniate
of pOtassa, 400 lbs, and bro-arseniate of same,
100 lbs. per acre"
The report, a, copied from the monthly report,
reads:
"What, then, are the quantities of these com
pounds which may be applied to the soil for the
various purposes in practical agriculture before
erecting any injurious results? The amount OF
soil in each of the pots employed in these expert
ments was 9l.5 cubic inches In case of the Paris
green the limit is 800 milligrams for this quantity
of soil, which is equivalent to 1855 grams pei
cubic foot or 1904 lbs. per acre, calculating for
depth Of one foot. The limit for arsenite of pO
-tassa being 300 milligrams per 9lJ cubic inches
is about $40 lbs. per acre. Though the plants
seem to be affected by even small quantity Of
arSeaiate of potash in the soil, am nevertheless
inclined to the opinion that this compound may
be applied at the rate of $50 lbs, per acre without
any great injury to the crop. For practical pur.
poses, however, it is never necessary to apply
in any case so large an amount"
At the close of the article Mr.. McMurtire adds
"With these facts before us, and without consid
ing what might be the result of a series of expert
mcnts continued through a number of years, We
must conclude that plants have not the power t.
absorb and assimilate from the soil compound:
Of arsenic, and that though arsenical compounds
exert an injurious influence upon vegetation, pc
this is 'oitboWt effect until the quantity preSen
reaches, for Paris green, 900 lbs, for arsenite
potassa 400 lbs, and for arsena!e Of potassa l5(
lbs. per acre"
SO by comparing the extract with the Origina
your readers will at once perceive the difference.
For the benefit of those who are addicted to thC
habit Of chGltng "things useful" upon the bacl
part Of their memories, l furnish you with tht
definitions of grammes, decigrammes, SC. The
metrical or decimarsystem Of weights and meas
ures must eventually obtain throughout the civil
lied world; hence it is well that the young espcc
tally should be familiarized;

The demand of Clover seed was good
and the receipts largely in excess OF pre-
yious wears. The trade in Timothy,
however, was not equal to the average
Of Butter, there were G,772 packages re-
ceived, and of Eggs 24,O25 packages, the
greater part ofwhich were marketed there.
The movement of potstoe. in 1874 was
the largest in the history Of the city, the
total business amounting to 1916 BUSH
els, and this is said to represent only
about one half the actual arrivals. VI
coal, it is probable that 100000 tons were
deposited on the docks OF the city IN 1914,
and the demands constantly increasing.
Ofhidcs. the receipts amounted to l3,o85,-
3g5 pounds the shipments TO 4,S4',4S9
hounds of green and l,732,520 pounds OF
dry hides. A large business in hides is
done. mainly in buying for the Eastern
markets. The movement in iron shows
q .taadv decline. and will continue to do
so until Toledo becomes the location Of
the necessary factories for the manufac-
ture of railroad iron; but the manufactu-
rers Of Toledo are reported in quite as
prosperous u condition Us those of any
other lake port.
There are there two iron factor
les which use iron ore but they suffered
from the universal stringsncy upon
this branch Of trade last year a large
business is done in salt, spirits and to-
bacco. Of this last there WAS delivered
last year u PSI hogsheads. The receipts
in wool were $40, 9&l pounds, and the
arrivals Of lumber was quite large,
amounting to about 100000 feet. The
trade in slaves, shingles, laths, cotton,
ship timber, and hay also is reported as
quite extensive.
From this husty condensation, it may
be seen that the business of Toledo is
varied and important, and our citizens can
form some idea Of the probable advan-
tage. direct communication with that
city would be TO our own.

MIR. DANA'S CASE.

There seems to be great Indignation
manifested by the Washington City ring
over the release by Judge BLATCHFoRD
of Mr.. CHARLES \ DANA, editor Of the
New York Sun, from the custody of the
United States Marshal. 1t will be re.
membered that certain members OF the
ring had special grudge against Mr.
DANA, because he had searchingly expos
ed their robberies They thought tina: II
they could once get that gentleman with
in their clutches, and try him before
Washington court, and before jury OF
their friends. they could obtain re-
venge Hence Il subpoena was issued to
Mr. DANA 10 come to Washington
and testify in certain case,
of which he was entirely Ignorant, and
in which he had no interest. He refused
70 obey the summons, and was ordered by
the District Court to be attached for
contempt, and to be arrested by the [.
5. Marshall IN New York This was ac-
cordingIy done, and the prisoner sued
out writ Of hGJsas corpus rcturnabie
before Judge BLATcuFoRD. The Judge
then decided that the courts of the Dis
trict Of Columbia had no authority to
issue an order to bring any person living
elsewhere within their jurisdiction, and as
they had no right to do this, they, Of
course, had 10 right to order the arrest
Of such person for contempt,
and hence he ordered the discharge ofthe
prisoner. Here is another set back to
tins celebrated ring, and 1t Is hoped by
this time, its members have been taught
that the Courts Of the District Of Colum-
Lia have not supreme power over every
citizen of the Union, and that they can
not by threatening the press, cause
it 10 fail in accomplishing one ofits high
est duties: show up corruption in high
places. The effort to use the process Of
the Court to bring person within It's
jurisdiction as a witness, and then deal
with him rs an offender, and try him
before q prciudiccd Court and jury, IS
denounced rs gross outrage on JUS
tice.
