THE RED CLOUD COMMISSION

However little the country may be salts
fled with the report of the Red Cloud COM
mission, so called, we presume that no one
will be surprised or disappointed at the re-
suit. The commission was organized for
the purpose of vindicating Secretary De-
lano and Indian Commissioner Smith and,
although their work is bungingly done,
the result aimed a. is accomplished in
words, The report, under the circum-
stances. is utterly without moral force.
The commission was appointed without
authority of law, it had no power to en-
force the attendance of witnesses or CON-
pei such as voluntarily attended to submit
to cross examination or answer any ques-
tons except such as they saw fit, and it
could not control the production and ex.
animation Of books and papers. Under
such circumstances, and especially as it de-
rived its being solely from the within of the
the commission might have been, its inves-
tigation could have only partaken of the
nature of an exparte examination and that
upon evidence produced solely by or III the
interest of the accused. Had, however,
the commission been appointed with due
sanction of law and been cothad with am-
pie power TO compel the attendance and
examination of witnesses and the produc-
ton of books and papers, had its appoint
ment come from other than the accused
and its personnel been absolutely free from
all suspicion of partiality, yet such a re-
port as it has presented would, If anything,
have confirmed the country in their doubt
and mistrust OF Columbus Deano and Ed
ward p. Smith.
We have not the time or patience TO ex.
anime this report in detail, and shall. there
fore, only refer to two or three points
showing, rs IL seems to us, that the com
mission had an up hill job in its endeavor
TO vindicate, or that it was exceedingly gull
lble and labored under the impression that
the American people could be easily de.
ceived The commissioners find, as they
report, that frauds existed and to such an
extent that they are forced to recommend
the removal OF agents, the exclusion of
contractors and criminal prosecutions.
They find that other agents, whom they
say were honest, were grossly incompetent
They say, further, that the tea, coffee,
sugar ard tobacco furnished the Indians
were of low grades and desgnedly so.
Without going further, we find here dis
honesty, incoppetency and a design of fur
nishing poor supplies. Were or Were not
the secretary and commissioner responsible
for this? The commission say that the
secretary of the interior had little connec-
ton with any of the contracts made for
the Indian service and that sit does not
appear IN evidence" that he had been
long aware of ''abuses at the Indian agen-
" cies." In other words, to acauit him of
all completely with frauds, it convicts him
of criminal negligence and gross ignorance.
AS the head of the interior department, he
was responsible for the conduct of the In

The publication of Objectionable litera-
ture is a large business, If we may judge
from the recent testimony of Anthony
Comstock, who has for the past three
years been engaged in suppressing it. He
soys that during that time he has seized
twenty-five tons of indecent books, pictures
and immoral articles. These had gone
among the very best schools and seminar
aries in the country, and among the chill
dren of the very best families A special
effort Is made by publishers TO get their
wares into schools. In order to get names
the dealer sends TO each principal crcu-
lar stating that be is about to publish a
United States directory of all boys and
girls in schools, etc., offering to pay five
cent? for every name sent to him. He
then sends out advertisements to these adj

From the st. Adams Messenger.
The First Vermont Cavalry.

The meeting of the survivors of this gal
liant organization brings to our town to day
a small body of MEN, whose presence is not
distingnishable from that of other citizens,
and whose demeanor 10 as peaceful and
modest as though war had never been their
avocation nor unsurpassed success their
glory. Vermont has reason to be proud of
all her troops in the war of the rebellion,
but it is not too much to say that her single
regiment of cavalry divides almost equal
honors with either of her brigades. TO be
sure, Its losses by death and wounds,
though considerable, were comparatively
light. 1t was IN the service three years and
six months. and contained total, first and
last, of 2,297 officers and men. 1t was in
seoenty-sir engagements, and yet the total
of killed and Of dead from wounds was
only 1902, and the total wounded only 275.
This was only about four times tine loss of
the 18th, or the 10Th regiments of infantry,
which were in but single battle, it was
80 less than the loss of the 17th which was
in thirteen battles, and it was Is less than
that OF the gallant old Second, which was
in twenly-eight battles.
But the cause of this difference is appa-
rent TO any soldier. Infantry is nearly al
ways massed in strong lines or heavy col
umns, and though not fighting often, is in
the thickest of the fray; cavalry is more
| usually in detachments, and though con-
| stantly fighting, is less exposed to concen.
| trated fire. And although the mortuary
| statistics are thus IN favor of the cavalry,

WASHINGTON, Oct. ID, 1876.

My DEAR SIR With your kind indul-
gence | have taken time to consider the
very ilattering proposal of the president to
name me for the place made vacant by the
death Of Judge Woodruff.
1t is now with sincere regret that find
myself constrained by decisive consdera-
tons to decline it.
The salary is so meagre that it, together
with my very modest private income, would
scarcely suffice to enable me to live with
my family in the city of New York, where
the largest part of the duties of the office
must be performed. feel that the public
interest requires that the new Judge should
begin his labors very soon and be able to
prosecute them steadily. Just at this time
| greatly fear that | should not be phys-
cally equal to the task.
As far as | can learn, also, find, as you
predicted, that generally my constituents
think | ought at present to continue to per-
form the duties with which they have
honored me. These are the reasons which
make it seem right, on the whole, that
should not take the place.
beg the president and yourself to be-
lieve that | am not ungrateful, and that !
prize his and your good opinion among the
highest of honors.
Thanking you most earnestly for your
kind consideration and indulgence, am,
as ever, Very truly yours,

From tie Contra Costa (oal,) Gszett'
Prehistoric Remains In California.

A piece of oak fossilized, which
had evidently when IN condition of
wood been artifcially cut with square
edges to a shape some twenty inches
long by fourteen wide and five deep,
has recently been found In the South
Fork Tunnel, near Forest City,
Sierra county, 1880 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel, with 800 verti-
cal feet of the mountain above it.
This relic of human artifce in the
prehistoric period was found in what
was the west bank of the great river
which ran across the present course
of the Sierra river system. How
many thousands OF centuries have
passed since it was shaped, and for
how many it has lain undis!urbed in
its deeply covered grave, is a sugges-
tive subject of study and conjecture.
Other discoveries, indicating The ex-
istence of man in very remote ages,
have been made IN various sections
of this old river course; and in 1858
number of fossilized pine logs,
seven feet long and four in diameter,
that had been neatly sawed and piled
up together, were found IN the Ale
ghany Tunnel, under the bed Of the
"Old Blue River" The recently
found relic has been forwarded to The
State University.
