AGENT sAvILLE RESIGNS AND SEEKS INvEsTI
CATION
While Indian Agent Saville was in Wash
,ngton with the Sioux Indians he wrote his resignation of
that Office. In consequence Of the understandable and
slanderous statements Of certain irresponsible parties
repeatedly made, he finds that his influence with the In
dams damaged, and the work OF the Episcopal Church,
at whose instance he appointed, embarrassed. He
desires that any charges against him require inyestga
ton that the acceptance Of his resignation be deferred
until he is made acquainted with their character. The
resignation is accompanied by letter rccounting the
action Of Prof Marsh. Mr.. Savle afms that he has
issued understandable supplies and seeks an Ill
vesgaion. Commissioner Smith states that there are
no charges against him at the Department Prof Marsh
requested 10 prefer his charges In writing which lie
has not yet done.
