The House Committee on Indian Affairs
should investigate the doinss Of the Indian Blu
reau In relation TO the claims Of the Ute Indians
10 a tract Of country In the San Juan mining re-
Rions OF Southern Colorado. From various
sources we learn that these Indians have been
treated In the most sh ameful manner. The land
upon which the richest mineral discoveries have
been made was until recently owned by the
Utes. Three years ago a treaty was made with
them by our Government. by the terms OF which
they agreed to rehnquish their rights to this val
liable region, IL being stipulated that In return
they should receive an annuity OF $4,000; and
the sum OF $4,000 was set apart as fund. the
interest OF which, accrung annually should be
paid to the Utes. or this accrued interest IL is
said that $4,000 has already been drawn from
the Treasury but II Ia asserted In the most POSI-
tive terms by those who have opportunities for
knowing the truth, that not one dollar OF this
amount has been paid to the Indians who are
entitled 70 receive II. The consequence is, that
they are extremely disconnected, although they
have not yet committed anv depredations. JUS
tice to the whites who are hocklng into the San
Juan mining district, IA well as to the Ind
who have been defrauded, requires an imme
diate and thorough inquiry into this business.

Mr.. Randall Gid not know Any thing about
mud machines. He knew OF no other COM
mittee that would ask to sit during the re-
cess.
Mr.. McCrary (Iowa) said that under the
agreemt Mt no one ever contempla ted such a
resolution as this.
CATION was desirable, and unless IL was
made during the recess II could not be male
at ell.
Mr.. Garfield said there was no opposition
to the investigation, but when the resolu-
ton was demanded as o matter OF right Ii
would be r. jected. He had no objection TO
allowing the investigation TO 60 on within
four weeks of the next session. 1t was I'M
man y and dishonorable to carry on these
investie atoms for partizan purposes during
the recess.
Mr.. Randall denied that there was any
thing dishonorable in IT.
The Speaker said that as last Mondays

Port was in order under Mondays rule.

report as part OF his remarks.
Tue reading OF the report occupied nearly
two hours.

The Insane Hospital Memortalists


THY MAKE CHARGES, OF DECLINE TO B
EXAMINED TILL THEY HAVE COUNSEL.
The Committee On the Expenditures of the
Interior Department, (Mr. Mitchler, Pa,
chairman, } held q meeting this morning for
the purpose of considering the memorial
introduced In the House onTuesday, charging
that the committee refused TO hear witnesses
who would testify against the MANAGEMENT
OF the u. 8. Insane Hospital, and that they
did not make thorough investigation of the
charges against that institution. The memo
rial Is very long, and makes a number Of
Alexander MOffatt and DR.. Matthew
McEwen, who were among the signers to The
memorial, appeared before the romuittee in
Mr.. Mutchler directed that Mr.. Moffatt be
sworn, but he declined, on the ground that
the memorial was In effect an appeal from
the judgment OF the committee, and further
more that the petitioners were not really to
go on with the investigation demanded, not
grouhd that they wanted the charges against
the committee set forth In the memorial
investigated by Joint committee composed
OF two members OF the House and one mem-
Der Of the Senate as prayed for.
Mr.. Mutchler.-I direct that you be sworn.
The witness.-I am not ready, and do not
Mr.. Mutchler.-You don't want counsel to
advise you what to swear 10 do your
Mr.. Mofiatt.-No, sir; but 1 want his Al
vice.
Mr.. Mutchler.- Then you decline TO testify?
Mr.. Moffatt.-You have my answer.
Mr.. Mutchler.-Will you be ready Ia a
couple of hours To proceed?
Mr.. Mofatt-I would rather have the
matter postpOr ed until to morrow.
DR. McEwen was then directed . take the
stand. He also declined 10 testify, taking
the same ground.
Mr.. Mutchler.-But, sir, you make affi-
davit In your petition that there are men
employed At the Insane Asylum who are
carried and paid on two pay-rolls. WHAT do
you say to that?
DR.. McEwep.-The evidence of IL Is In that
desk there (roiEting to q desk In the COM
m1ttee rOOm), In the vouchers of the Insane
asylum. 1t can be found there.
Judge Boone, of Kentucky, q member of
the committee, said he was In favor of hav-
ing the fullest investigation, and he thought
the petitioners should have an opportunity
to have their counsel pres The commit
tee should not force them TO begin II they
were not ready.
A vote was taken on postponement, and 1t
was lost Aye, Judge Boone; nays, Messrs.
Mutchler, Anderson Ind. }, Aud Tufts (IOwa.)
The committee afterwards re Onsidered their
vote, and decided to postpone the investiga-
ton until tomorrow. General Anderson
said he was In favor of a night session OF the
committee, as he had to 60 away from the
city 10 morrow morning.
The committee then adjourned. 1t Is I'M
deIstOOd that the petitioners have secured
the services of Judge VIM. Smith, OF Chica-

Gibbons, John Morris, Thomas Hurley, and
Michael Doyle, charged with an assault aud

OF the above parties Thomas Hurley aud

former charged with the murder OF Conner

win being one OF the persons who, with
dered Thomas Sanger and VIM. Ureu on the
LIST day ef September, ISIS. When the case
was called Judge Ryon said the defendants
would ask for q continuance on the grou nds,
first, that the defendants specially desired
the services OF John w. Ryon, esq, who had
been returned from the first, but who had
been Obliged 10 leave home 10 recruit his
strength, broken down by constant labor In
the defense OF MCnley aud the lost muir
derers; second, that material witnesses were
absent They proved the absence OF four
witnesses, but IL was shown that they were
all Mollie Maguires, three of whom had not
been seen since Detective McParlen, on the
first trial OF the Yost murderers In May last,
exposed their mem bership, and no assurance
could be given OF their return AT any time.
The court refused 10 grant the continuance.
The case excites great Interest from the fact
that the defendants are all prominent mem
bers and ofi1cers OF the Mollie Mcguire Or
der, and the crime was concocted and deter
mined upon in the meetings OF the order.
