A Gard from Senator Mitchell.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., April %. 1875.
Editor Bpe,.ing S,aT-Dear Shiny atten-
ton has just been called to the following
under the head of Washington News and
Gossip" in your issue of the 18th inst:
" II is now said that the efforts to displace
secretary DelanO from President Grants
cabinet arise from a combined movement on
the part of Senator Mitchell Ben Halliday
Ru1us Ingalls, and others, who desire him to
be succeeded by some person who will Join
with them in securing to corporation
already formed. and i'm which they are
interested, the Black Hills Indian country"
As to whom the person or persons are by
whom this thing "is ROU SdicF' your readers
are left in the dark. In Justice TO myself
however, desire 10 state that in so far as the
statement has any reference to Inc, il is,
from beginning TO end, in every particular.
absolutely false. l have no interest,
directly or indirectly, present or pros
pectlve, in any corporation, association
or company, formed for any purpose
connected with the Black Hills Indian coIn-
try. or any part thereof, or interest therein:
nor nave ever thought of enga ging in any
such enterprise. much less have ever spoken
10 any person or persons on the subject.
Moreover, have never directly or Indirectly
by word or act Joined in any effort what
count. to dispIace Secret Rg oW ne,a aS
from President Grants Cabinet. either
Tor The purpose mentioned i'm the published
statement, or any other; nor have / any
desire that Secretary Delano should be sun
planted for the purpose suggested or any
other.
i consider the question as To selection of
Cabinet officers one belonging ercllGsiUeiU Ia
the President. free from any suggestion or
advice, much less dlctation from mem 1ers
OF the Senate; and even were il otherwise
my faith in the judgment and patriotism of
the President wonld induce me TO remain
silent on that subject.
Respectfully, JOHN H. MITCHELL
