The Louisiana Returning Board
Heard From.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE HeroId to day
prints a communication from j. Madison
Wells, Thomas j. Anderson, G.. Cassnave,
and Louis NJ. kenner, of the Lou siana
Board, who say; 1T is all error i'm the press
Of the country when they say a bill of indIct
meDt has been found by grand Jury against
the returning board. IL lie only an infOrma-
ton by the district attorney. If the distric,
attorney had been DESTROYS OF having the
parties brought to a speedy trial, he knew as
we'll the facts three months ago as he did on
the 10Th of June, a the judge specially al
luded TO the case in his charge 10 the grand
Jury three months ago; and If the parties had
been notified of the Information as soon as IL
was filed they could have called for a trial
as the court sat until the 9Th of July. but the
whole matter was delayed, and seemingly
purposely, until the court was about 10 adj
journ, before the parties could have an Cd
portunity TO defend themselves.

The charge in the information is of a false
return of the presidential electors, and ma Ike
no allusion TO the return being false AZ TO

THE CABINET was in session yesterday
afternoon until nearly three O'Clock
Most of the time was occupied in discussing
the affairs of the New York Custom House,
aud the proposed reduction OF the force there.
No conclusion was reached. The question of
modifying the sentence of dismissal imposed
upon several Cadet Midshipmen, recently
fouid guilty OF taking questions To be pro-
pounded at the annual examination from the
TUOm of one OF the professors, was also con-
sideTed. The present Indian war was up for
discussion, and II was decided to take every
proper method TO end, and forever, the hos
tile demonstration OF Indian tribes.
A PERSISTENT OFFICE SKEkKR.-The
President, accompanied by his sons, Burch-
ard and Rutherford, left the White House

Overtake him, and made his little fat legs do

angles with his body on account OF its size

penduluns. Down g street he gained on the
object 0f his chsse, but just Is he thought his
efforts about TO be crowned with success, and
his long desired interview realized, the Pres

The Alleged Indian Frauds.

Sl,+O CLERK FOUND IMPLICArED-HF
IS sUMMARILY DISMISSED BY sECRE-
TARY SCHURZ.
The board OF inquiry, convened by Secre-
tary Schurz TO investigate allegations OF
fraudulent practices on the part OF the In
dian bureau or some Of its employees, took a
recess about q week ago in order to arrange
and sift the testimony taken and determine
as to the scope of future inquiry. The board
SAT- WIN closed doors, examining witnesses
fectly satisfactory when made known at the
close OF the investigation. Before the recess
testimony duplicating Lewis s. Hayden, q
81 400 clerk i'm the Indian bureau, was taken
and laid before Secretary SchurZ, who
ordered the dismissal of Hayden. The letter
OF the Secretary, dated to-day, sets forth that
ne has read the testimony given by Hayden
before the board of inquiry; TT 1t according
TO his own testimony he (Hayden) has re-
peatedly received money and other things
OF value from contractors having business
with The Indian bureau; and that he (HD
first denied and then admitted when COM
PEELED 10 do so, that he had carried o. pri-
tiers perding in the department. Tae Secre-
tary adds that such conduct is utterly In
cOmpa tible with that sense of duty and those
principles of honor which should animate
every public officer, and concludes by saying
that his (Hayden's) ervices from this day
will be dispensed with.
Mr.. Hayden has been a clerk in the Indian
bureau for the pat sixteen years, having
been appointed nom Maryland in April,
1851. Secretary Schurz expresses the deter
mination of summarily dismissing every
employe found guilty of irregular or corrupt
practices, and will allow no sentime 1t of
sympathy to interfere with his conviction OF
duty as public officer. 1t is impossible to
say whether the testimony thus far taken by
the board duplicates any other employees or
not, but it seems to be the impression that
more developments will follow which will
necessitate the retirement of other officials
If the meshes OF the net now being drawn are
small enough TO retain the little fish ii is TO
be presumed ii will hold the big ones if there
be any.
Mr.. Hayden says his testimony was mis-
understood, and that he believes when he
has an opportunity to fully explain his ex-
plantation Will De found satisfactory.
The board of inquiry will resume its ses-
sion on Wednesday next.
