Ex-SENAToR HAGAR of California, has put himself upon the records of the na- ton as an ineXcusable slanderer of a very large portion of his country, and it is very proper that the slanderous "great" press of the eastern cities should publish his falSehoods approvingly. We think the country press Of this southwestern section will from time to time give this ex-sena- torial liar an airing, in connection with another equally great liar-Gen. w. B. Hagen. This paper will do its share.

San Carlos Indian Affairs.

From our first meeting with Agent J. r. Cum, we believed and so expressed it in print, that he would prove to be an excel lent officer, and he has demonstrated that he is such an one. He is complete master of hIS reservation and, independent of all official sources, we have abnndant proof that he Is the |" right Enau in the right place." Following are some portions of his monthly report for March. They show what he has accomplished in less than twelve months in the way of buildings, to say nothing of the more important point . of discipline which is probably not excel led on any reservation in the country at large, and just few months before he as- sumed charge, the Indians had left tue reserve in a drunken and murderous row, crippling and killing settlers. But to the report:
 I have the honor to submit the following report of the Indian service at this agency, for the month ending February 2S, 1875. am permitted again to re port my Indians quiet, orderly and obedient. And as yet no complaints have been made against them. still require them to attend the daily count and no Indian is permitted to be absent from the camps more than one day without a pass from the agent They are never permitted to leave the reServa- ton except they go on scouts or as guides to travelling parties. When as guides, I permit one or two to go with instructions not to leave the party under any preteXt All their arRls are in nay possession, and when passess are granted them to hunt, guns are furnished by the agent and the number checked against them on the pass book. By such precautions it is not diff ficult to account for the men and arms at all times. They are willing to labor and perform with diligence every task assign ed them. When circumstances will per init I pay them, but for the greater portion of their labor they receive nothing but their rations and little tobacco. They seem contented and happy, except that they lament their poverty. They have however saved what money they could obtain by labor at the Agency, or by the delivery of wood and hay, and have pur- chased number Of horses of which are very good. <

BUILDINGS.


 Although no appropriation has been made for buildings at this Agency, have nevertheless been able to erect nearly half Of the main Agency buildings-a ground plan Of which is sent your office by this mail. By economy in my dis bugsements have been able to meet all extra expenses incurred in building. I have five rooms 20x20 feet by eleven feet to ceiling. These are very pleasant, con- venient and substantial. The store room, although inadequate, will shelter a large quantity of supplies.
 The blacksmith shop is temporarily in an unfinished room which room when completed will form a part of the main building. 1 am now building a corral; this is intended to enclose 25O0 square yards The walls are two feet thick and built of stone. And here I may remark that 1t is my intention to construct the remainder of the buildings Of stone, having found an excellent quarry of sandstone within one half mile Of the Agency from which ob- tain material for building much superior to adobes and judge less expensive.
 The corral is about half completed to- gether with harness room l5XI5 The corral will enclose the stables, wagon sheds, harness room, tool room, carpenter shop, blacksmith shop, hay corral, etc.
 The dispensary will answer for the pres ent, but what l need at once is a hospital. have no place for the sick. And further, had the accommodations would collect the blind, the crippled and those who have reached an extreme old age and place them under the care of the Agency phy- sician and his attendants. These afflicted Indians being of no use, are much neg iected by their relatives, and oftimes their -5t1fdefings are very great, especially during cold weather.
 The cattle scales will be completed in a few days and then a butcher shop will be needed at once. Quarters should be built for the employees, and the Indians should be assisted in building { h cir houses. Therefore while I shall do the best I can with the funds already sent me, sincerely urge the appropriation of S5OO0 for build ing purposes as per previous requisition.
