of Yale, has addressed II pungent epis-
tie to President Grant, in relation to
Indian affairs, in which he says the

unfavorab!y on both Secretary DelanO
aud Commissioner Smith; that Agent
sSaviilc is wholly untitled for his posi-
ton, and is guilty gross frauds upon
the Indians in his charge; that the
number of Indians at the Red Cloud
agency has been Systematically over
stated, for purposes which can only re-
suit in lraud that the last issue OF an
nuity goods which he witnessed was a
suspicious transaction, and in part, at
least, fraudulent; that the beef cattle
given the Indians have been very in
ierior, owing to the systematic
frauds practiced 10y the agent and
beef contractors; that the pork
issued to the Indians during
his visit was not suitable for human
fare that the flour was very inferior,
and evidence of fraud in this article is
conclusive that the tobacco observed
was rotten and of little or no Use to
the Indians ; that in consequence OF
fraud and mismanagementt helndians
suffered greatly during the past winter
for want of food and clothing; and
that the contract for freight from
Cheyenne to the Red Cloud agency
was fraudulent, as the true distance
was one hundred and forty-iive miles,
while the contractors were paid for
two hundred and twelve miles. The
letter is accompanied with a long and
interesting statement corrobOrating
the points specified.
