INDIAN FRAUDS.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Commissioner
of Indian Affairs says that the inquiry into the
Red Cloud agency affairs being in the hands of
competent gentlemen tor investigation, with
instructions 10 take the freest range of inquiry,
and find whatever wrong exists, that the facts
will undoubtedly be reached, and if they dis
close frauds in the service, no one can be more
interested than himself getting such facts. The
statement that the alleged frauds have been
frequently reported to him heretofore. without
receiving attention, he pronounced absolutely
false, and he refers to the investigation by
Bishop Hare's committee some eighteen months
ago, which was made in consequence of similar
charges teen made against the Red Cloud
agency.
so much just now as the severest scrutiny of
his official acts by fair minded men, respecting
the charge against Secretary Delano of compile
city with the frauds at the Red Cloud agency.
The Commissioner says it is but the simplest
edge of any such completely, and knows of
nothing to show it.
Prof. Marsh Styles Commissioner Smiths
Defence Trick.
NEW HAVEN, July 18.-Prof. Marsh pro-
nounces the attempted explanation published
yesterday by Commissioner Smith in regard to
affairs at the Red Cloud agency characteristic
cited by the Commissioner is only. one Of a
large number ON file in the Interior Depart
ment that was favorable, and it is now we'll
known that the special commissioners who
made it owing mainly to the short time they
were at the agency, were mistaken on several
points and some, at least, of these gentlemen
have since informed the department to this
effect. The report refers to different set of
transactions from those observed by Professor
Marsh, and his investigations had no connec-
ton whatever with those made by this commits
sion or any other. Any attempt to meet this
evidence by quoting an old report is entirely
avoiding the real issue and misleading the pub
lie. The charges Prof. Marsh has made are
direct and specific, and are all supported by in
dependent testimony Until the charges, which
OBJECT the department as well as Agent Sayille,
are disproved, the Professor thinks general
denial by the Commissioner will avail but little.

SENATOR THURMAN.
His Opinion of the Columbus Resolutions
in Favor of Rag Money-A Rather Thin
Defence,

BALTIMORE, July 18.-In an interview with
a reporter of the Gazette, yesterday, at the
Deer Park Hotel, Senator Thurman talked
quite freely on the situation in Ohio, and MS
own relations to it, which he thought had been
misunderstood. He said the Democratic party
in Ohio is divided on the currency. question.
The financial opinions contained in the Column
bus platform should only be regarded as an ex-
preston of local opinion, and notulng could be
more unjust than the attempt to charge on this
account that she Democratic party as great
national organization is animated by spirit OF
imitation. In all times of commercial depres-
sion the CRY of more money is raised, the. pres
ent periad being no exception. lnf1atlonists
are to be found in both political parties, and it
is vesy unbecoming for Republican journal
to denounce Democrats as inf ,tionists while so
prominent Republican as Judge Kelley is
harranguing the iron workers of Ohio in favor
of his 6S bond scheme and greanback here
sizes.
who have been first and foremost in the de-
fence of greenbaaks as the best currency the
world ever saw. Touching the desire for Re
publican success in the present ONO canvass
in the interest of Democratic principles, Sena-
tor Thurman said no man who compre hends
the political situation and hopes for the success
of the Democratic party at the next Presiden-
tial election, should desire Republican VIC
tory in Ohio, in the foolish belief that such a
result will contribate to Republican defeat IN
1876. Nothing could De more erroneous.
A Democratic defeat IN the approaching state
election would be simply suicidal. 1t is time
that serious were inserted in the platform.
did my best to avert the threatened evil, but
because others disagreed with me see no rea-
son why should bolster up the Republican
party. II errors have been committed in Ohio
they can be corrected; they need not be an ex-
cuse for greater ones The Republican party
in Ohio is also divided on the currency ques-
ton. The financial plank in their platform
can be construed to mean "hard or soft mon
ey, and prominent Republican Ohio Congress-
men are in favor of more greenbacks.
Replying to the charge that he evinced lack
of moral courage for not denouncing the infla-
ton plank of the Columbus platform at the
ratification meeting, he said the place and
time were not opportune 1t is a great injus-
tice to condemn one for opinions never uttered.

charges brought against me. My record in the
senate is before the country and on that record

the campaign at Mansfield, O., July 31st, and
shall then announce my disagreement with the
financial provisions Of the platform, and
throughout the campaignl shall say nothing
to discredit the convictions of a life time.

THE POSTAL AMENDMENT.
Its COnstitutiOnality to be Tested in
the Courts.

NEW YORK, July ia case involving the
constitutionality of the amended postage law
has been brought in the United States Circuit
Court for this district. A gentleman offers a
book for transmission to Philadelphia from this
city, postage at the old rates being affixed.
Being refused, he applies for mandamus to
compel the postmaster to receive the package.
The argument of the applicant is that the sum
dry civil appropriation bill, into which the
amendmen5 increasing the rate on that class of
mail matter was inserted, was not a bill for
raising the revenue; that the amendment did
provide ways and means for raising the reve-
nue.; that the Senate has no constitutional
authority to originate measures for that pur-
pose, that being the sole prerogative of the
House; aud that the postal amend ment having
originatediwith the Senate, and been grated on a
bill which was not one for revenue purposes, is
unconstitutional

one Allen married man and bar keeper in
her fathers hotel. an argument on the habeas
corpus which was sued out by Allen to obtain

The judge dismissed the writ rem marking that

Thompson arrested Allen on the charge of
adultery in Massachusetts, which is a criminal
offence in that state.

been considerable hostile feeling among the

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
Close of tine Annual Session Of the Nation.
al Division Of North America,


PROVIDENCE, July 1.-THE 31st annual ses-
sion of the national division of North America,
Sons of Temperance, closed this afternoon. A
resolution was passed Withdrawing the juris-
dIction of the national division of Australia
from the three grand divisions in Victoria and
South Australia chartered under the authority
of the national division of Great Britain and
Ireland, and empowering the granting of sec
ond national division charter covering the colo
MES of Victoria and South Australia and such
other territory as may be mutually recommend
ed by the officers representing the national di-
visions of North America, Great Britain and
Ireland and Australia. This was agreed to by
the representative of the national division Of
Great Britain and Ireland, and amicably ends
controversy which has vexed the order for
years. A new badge to be worn in public was
adopted consisting of the triangle and star,
the circle of fraternity enclosing the world, the
colors being red, white and blue, and the in
scription, "The world ou- field" The condi-
ton of the order is reported excellent by the
committee on that subject. Prohibition was
endorsed as living temperance issue. A re-
port against the organization of relief society
was adopted. The usual resolutions of thanks
were adopted.
