drom The PhrIaoelpbi, North Am .te,n)

CFrom the PhtlaoelPbia North Am rieIn.)
We have received a proof copy of a
letter addressed by Mr.. WIN. Welsh,
of this city, to Prof. Marsh, congrutu-
Iating the latter gentleman and ofier-
ing his support in the charges preferred
against the Interior Department. The
letter is a most violent attack upon
MI. Delano aud Mr.. Cowan, OF the
Interior Department. with an unpro-
voked side fling at Gen Cameron. Mr..
Welsh goes even further than most
of the assailauts Of the IuGian Bureau
by rejecting in Treasured phrase
against the integrity of the committee
OF investigation, recently appointed.
While the purity of Mr.. Welsh's mo-
tives and character cannot be ques-
known, it must lie borne i'm mind that
upon this subject his expressions of
opinion have always beeu most vio-
Iently prejudiced. We have consist
emily and honestly maintained our
opinion that the Interior Department,
while not free from blame for not nav
ing discovered and suppressed the
.r at irregularities IN the disposal Of
Indian supplies, would be proven to
be entirely free from the personal cor
ruption charged against IL. 1t will be
a source OF sincere regret if the inves-
LEGATIONS just in%hugurated shall prove
any other condition of affairs hut IL
such a condition does exist, we believe,
unlike Mr.. Welsh. that the commits
sion to whom the task has been ell
trusted will demonstrate that fact to
the country. 70 accuse and defame
before their work is entered upon. a
body so thoroughly held in high es-
TEEN by those to whom they are best
known, is both unjust and ungener-
Gus, and savors rather of reckless par
tisanshlp than dispassionate Judg-
meut.
