ANOTHER VIEW oF.THE SWEET CASE.

A MINORITY REPoRT-MIss SWEET NOT ALTOGETHER
FREE FROM CENsURE-GEN. BAKER hND Mr..
CAMPBELL DEFENDED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TBIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, July 31.-A minority report has
been prepared in the Sweet-Blakely case by
some of the Republican members of the Civil Ser
vice Committee This report will be signed by Mr..
Leavenworth of New-York, Mr.. Foster of Ohio, and
probably by Mr. Harris of Massachusetts,. The re
port first deals with the OF j. Russell Jones, as
the majority report did 1t discusses the evidence
and to directly opposite conclusion so far as
Mr.. Jones is concerned from that presented IN the
Hurlbnt report. The minority do not find that Mr.
Jones's conduct was other than proper, and they
no cause for censure. The minority does not find
as does the majority, that David Blakely, Cen
James H. Baker, and Benjamin Campbell entered
into conspiracy to cheat, wrong. and deiraud Miss
Sweet The minority condemns the transaction be-
tween David Blakely and Miss Sweet as contrary to
sound policy. great deal of space IS taken up in
the discussion OF this subject, and liberal quotations
are made from the majority report and from the evil
dence
The conclusion is reached that if Mr.. Blakey is TO
be ceDsured Miss Sweet is also deserving Of censure
They find that some of her testimony was contra
dicted by Gary and Lombard. executors of her
fathers estate and while they condemn the trans
action, they nothing in it except what is equally
censuTable in Miss Sweet and David Blakely. The
minority does not find that Gen. Baker, then Com
missioner of Pensions had anything to do with the
bargain in its carles stages but do find that in fact
he had no knowledge of Blakely's and Miss Sweets
transaction until October and that very after be
learned the facts he took to secure the Gov
ernuent from loss and aided Miss Sweet in prOcur-
ing from Blakely portion of the money that she
had paid on account of the bargain with him. The
minority further find that Gen. Bakers conduct
was proper i'll all respects and that there is no cause
for the censure passed upon him by the majority re-
port

many persons to fear that there was some good
ground for these accusations The Committee was
not a friendly to DR.. Nichols, hut having COM
pleted its labors, makes unanimous report ex-
oncrating him from every charge which has been
preferred. The Committee finds that III some few IN
stances attendants may not have been
as kind and cOnSderate in their treatment
of patients as they should have BEEN but that
whenever such an instance was brought to the at
tention of Dr. Nichols, he Immediately discharged
the attendant. The Committee recommends
that skillful and we'll qualified attendants Toe
retained in the service if possible and that their
pay BE made such would induce them to remain.
The practice of sending nonresident patients
who are found in the District of Columbia, and are
committed temporarily to the asylum in the places
where they are supposed to belong, without deliver
ing them to the authorities or their friends but leay-
ing them in the street or upon the cars, Is strongly
condemned by the Committee. DR.. Nichols is not
responsible for this but the authorities OF The Dis
trct of Columbia.

IMPORTANCE OF CRAZY HORSES RETURN.
my TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNEI
WAsHiNGTON, July 31.-SOme members OF the
House Committee ON Military Affairs called on the
Secretary of War to-day to consult with him IN re-
cara to Gen. Sheridan's recommendations that GER
tain regiments Of cavalry operating against the
hostile Sioux Indians be recruited up to the iul
strength of 900 men. 1t is very likely that the
Military Committee may agree to this and pass the
Senate bill.
The report that the Sioux chief Crazy Horse IL
coming in TO the reservation is considered at the
War Department as very important. II is known
that the buffalo are becoming scarce i'll the region
where the hostile Sioux are and it is believed that
the course taken by Crazy Horse Is the result OF
scarcity Of provisions. It's also feared at the War
Department that The Indians, instead of remaining
together in one large body. which might no doubt
be easily whipped in a square battle will divide UP
into several bands which it will be very difficult for
our soldiers to reach and which will commit great
depredatons not only upon the frontier settlements,
but even upon stations upon the Pacific Railroad.
