PROFESSOR MARSH DIsGUsTED.

At the conclusion Of this council
Prof. Marsh expressed to the writer
his disgust ut what he called the
" ~treachery" of Red Cloud, and as
sured me that lie had merely reported
his grievances from a sense of duty.
He hoped the public did not think he
was acting from malice, and Wished
me Ia say in the Intcr-OccdH that his
motives were purely patriotic and sim
cere. He expressed his sorrow at huv-
ing become mixed up in the matter,
aud said he intended to wash his hands
of the whole affair.
1t was November when Prof. Marsh
heard these complaints of Red Cloud,
and SAW this outrageous swindling of
the government. but il was not until
April that he falhlled the promise and
reported the frauds that he knew were
being perpctrated against the govern
ment.
And just here it might be said that
in April just before Prof. Marsh APP
peared oil the scene at Washington,
4 VERY SPIRITED ATTACK WAS MADE
on SECRETARY pELANo.
by n class of newspapers which have
always been hostile to the adnIinistra-
ton, and it was publicly asserted that
See. Bristow had filed serious charges
with the President. against his col
league of the Interior department,
which charges the President has said
never were filed, and which the writ
er happens to know consisted merely
of certain letters relating to ihe assO-
citation of Secretary Delann's son with
some surveying contracts in Wyo-
ming.
This attack on Sec. Delauo seemed
to remind Prof. Marsh that he knew
something about The frauds that exist
ed IN the Interior department, II he
came to Washington and reported the
facts to the Postmaster General instead
of the Secretary of the Interior. For
some reason, instead of morning Prof.
Marsh of his mistake, the Postmaster
General seemed to have forgotten thai
the existence OF such frauds should,
by courtesy, have been reported tn Sec.
Delano at uuce,-aud took Prof. Marsh
To the President, where the story Red
Cloud had told him six months before,
was repeated, and the frauds Prof.
Marsh himself saw six month before,
were reported in full.

MYsrERIous.-Mr Geo. Chapman, who
mas been working alone for several months
past, in tunnel two miles above town, on
Fine creek, and boarding at the Luna
House, failed to make his appearance at
supper on Saturday night. AS he was a
man OF correct habits and strictly punctual
IN all things; this circumstance occasioned
SO much uneasiness in the mind of Mr..
Luney that he sent his son, Master Walter,
up Pine creek to investigate matters and
see il anything had happened the missing
man. Walter could see nor hear nothing
OF Chapman, and, returning home, report
eel accordingly. BY this time darkness
had come, and Messrs. John Frank, West.
wood and one or two others, started for
the tunnel to make more thorough search.
Arriving there, they discovered the mans
empty dinner bucket and his working
clothes, in their accustomed places, but
after looking the tunnel through and
through, he could nowhere be found. 1t
is the opinion of some that Mr.. Chapman
has decamped for parts unknown; but as
he was not that kind Of man, and had no
occasion to clandestincly leave the country,
there are no grounds upon which to base
such belief. The most reasonable sup
position is that advanced by Mr.. Frank,
which is, that Chapman has gone to visit
his old partner whose camp is eighteen
miles distant In the meantime, nothing
has been seen or heard of the non-appear
ing man. His disappearance is envelopcd
in mystery which we hope the next few
days will clear away.
