WASHINGTON, April 7.-The Secretary Of
War has reported to the House OF Representa-
tives, In response to the request OF the Chair
nan Of the Committee on War Department
Expenditures for all papers and inform alton re-
latiDg to certain charges preferred against Col.
Mackenzie By Col. Reynolds, that the CORE
spondence between REYNOLDS. and Mackenzie
about corn contracts at Fort Rich hardson, Tex as,
In lS'l, and subsequent charges against Col
Mackenzie by Col. REYNOLDS wero forwarded to
the War Department by Gen. Sheridan on Dec
ID, 1SI1 returned to the headquarters Of the
Military Division OF the Missouri in January
1877. but cannot now be found. Tho papers
transmitted by tho Secretary included Gen.
mcCook's report "a special iuspector for the
Division OF tho Sou n. IN ade In November 1871,
and dated San Antonio, Texas. Gen. McCook
said his attention had repeatedly been called to
the general Generalization that existed In the
administration Of the Quartermaster's Depart
ment, and that there was a system In vogue
called "greasing," which means no less
than that Quartermasters or their employees
must either have an interest in contracts m aue,
or they must be rewarded by presents OF greater
or less value to favor the recipients Of contracts,
or act unjustly toward competitors In order to
secure the same for some favorite who would
consent to resort to such corruptinR and dis
honorable practices. Ho said, among other
things, that Wicher & Adams, the largest con-
Tractors In the State. presented TO Mrs. Reynolds,
the wlfe OF Gen. Reynolds, house and lot In
San Antonio, u exas. Gen. McCook said 1t would
be interesting TO know how many carriages and
horses we're gwen to army officers as presents
by citizens engaged in furnishing army suprlies,
and no condemned such practices ns calculated
to have a damaging Influence generally on that
branch OF the service. 1t appears from the loo
umenis that Gen. REYNOLDS, in December 1871,
denied to the War Department tho truth OF the
charges thnt the public interests IN Texas had
been sacrificed to those OF contractors. The
Secretary declined, as Gen. .Reynoldstrequested,
to give the reason why Gen. Reynolds was re-
leved OF his command In Texas, as infOrma ion
In such cases was unusual.
