COLONEL Tom SCOTT is charged
with an infringement of the ten
year compact entered into between
himself and John w. Garrett. A
few days ago the Government wished
to send a detachment of one hundred
and twenty-six troops from New
York to Chicago. Business being
dull, there was lively contest be-
tween the different roads to secure
the transportation of the troops.
The Erie company bid $40. The
Pennsylvania company offered tc
take the soldiers at IS per head, and
bagged the lot, and in this, it is al
legged, violated the compact which
fixed the fare from New York and
Chicago at SIS.

THE INDIAN RING,
Letter from VIM. Welsh to
President Grant.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE
Evening Telegraph to-day publishes
an open letter from VIM. Welsh to
President Grant on what he terms
the libelous attack of Secretary De-
lano on Walker, clerk of the board of
Indian commissioners. He says he
believes said libel was concocted and
published by Cowen, Assistant Sec
rotary of the Interior, with the cor
dial approval of Delano. Mr.. Welsh
charges that these attacks were made
on Walker because he exposed the
frauds which it was the duty of the
Interior department to check. The
letter then goes into long defense
of Walker from the charge Of drunk
enness. Welsh then charges Delano
with making a wilfully false report
to the President in reference to the
amount of stock subscribed to the
Northern Pacific railroad land threat
ems to publish further statements of
still more Objectionable acts, and
concluds /:
every suggestion / ever made to
you was promptly responded to, save
only the investigation of frauds al
lowed by your appointees. Even this
lamentable trait, / believe, springs
from distorted virtue. Your pro-
lection of Gen. Parker when he was
convicted of misfeasance or malfeas-
ance as Commissioner of Indian At
fairs, and of those who now control
that office, seems wholly unaccount-
able, except on the hypothesis that
love in you is blind. 1t may seem
strange to others that / should have
written this open letter, but necessi-
ty was laid upon me to write, and /
could not, with proper respect to my
self, address you in any other way ,as
you have in every instance closed
your mind to evidence that must
have convinced any other man.
Yours, very respectfully,
(Signed,) OWN. WELSH"

Mormon Massacre.

A NEW THEORY OF DEFENSE-AN
ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY THE OUT
RAGE.
SALT LAKE CITY, August TO-
The Ereniag Nea1s, Mormon
Church organ of this city, to-day
presented the defense of the Nor
mons in the Mountain Meadows
massacre. 1t pleads that the slaught-
er was perpetrated when Utah was in
a state of war, and all the public acts
of that period were acts of war, the
Mormons believing the United States
had sent troops to murder them all.
The Ne,rs adds statement that
Brigham Young, early in 1858, laid
the particulars of the massacre be-
fore Governor Cumming, and his
successor urged an investigation and
offered help in the matter.
This contradicts all the evidence
elected by the defense in the Lee
trial at Beaver and also Brigham
Yonng's deposition lately published.

PRESIDENT LERDo, of Mexico,
procured the passage of colonial
ton law to attract American and
English emigrants to Mexico. Under
this law emigrants are to have land
at easy and reasonable rates. They
are also to be exempt from military
and all kinds of taxation, except
those of needful municipal char
acter. All vessels bringing ten or
more families are to be exempt from
port duties. Poor families are to be
furnished with provisions for one
year, and liberal advances made for
the purchase of farming materials
and to build homes. These stipula-
lions are to remain in force ten years
and an appropriation of S250,0o0 has
been made to put the scheme in
practical operation.

A CORRECTION.

Eds. Independent:
a few days since you published
a communication from "a IaX-Payer
of Twenty Years Standing" reflect
ing somewhat upon the Council and
Corporation Assessors for not taxing
the property of the Bait. a. o. II. r.,
within the Corporate limits. must
conclude that your correspondent,
while earnest and honest in his
views, is simply mistaken as to facts.
The property of the b. q O. r.. r. is
assessed this year, and has been ev-
cry year, and it has always paid its
taxes promptly. 1t is assessed this
year at $40, 900 on it's buildings. The
machinery in the shops is not assess
ed, and the full value is not put upon
its property. But / presume no one
is in favor of taxing railroad to the
full value Of its entire property,
tools, rolling stock, &c. Ifany one
is in favor of such policy, | should
like to hear from him.

The Crop Prospect Better
than was Expected.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-THE ''Ga-

14O county seats where the late flood
occurred, and the prospects are bet
ter than expected. Wheat and oats
have suffered. OF the former two
thirds of the crop will be saved, and
of the latter less than half can be
saved. The hay crop will not fall
short of the average in quantity, but
the quality is not as good as usual.

We can answer, few, indeed. We are

he is one Of our respected citizon and
we all know him. He has our conf.
dence and seeks not to abuse or love it.
Whenever he sells among us we know
his goods are what he says and hence the
unlimited support he receives. Mr..
Jackson is now selling-or perhaps we
ought to say, almost, givingaway goods
in our city at 2, Buckland's new Block,

dry goods, silk, ribbons, hosiery, cut

collars, cuffs and notions of
all kinds, he is daily, and each evening,
prawing together and gratifying hun
dreds of citizens aswellas those who oc-
casionally come to town. Enjoyable as
may be his puns and pleasantly in
bringing goods under the attention of
the public there is n genuineeess in his
representations and general nude of
business we cannot help admiring. He
