WATKINS COURT OF m
QUIRY.

Inspector Watkins took evidence last
week Tuesday and Wednesday in rela-
ton to complaints against Monteith.
We were present part of the time on
Wednesday when the testimony Of Tim
othy senior and Timothy junior, old Web
Testament and Old Billy was taken.
The testimony of these men was strong
against Monteith. 1t charged him with
extreme bad faith towards them person
ally One of these men said that had
there been an Agent on the reservation
who was satisfactory to the reservation
Indians in place of Monteith, Joseph
and the other outside bands would have
peaceably come upon the reservation.
Other evidence elicited the fact that
some of Joseph's people said they would
have come upon the reservation peacea-
bly, if the Government wonld put good
man in place of Monteith. Evidence
of old Timothy showed that Monteith's
hostility to Mr.. Spaulding who was
their spiritual teacher, was the FIRST
cause of dissatisfaction given by Mon
teith to Timothy's band. The evidence
showed that the Indians fully believed
that Monteith interfered with the elec-
ton of chief and especially last Spring
when young Lawyer was elected. The
evidence of Young Timothy showed that
in the distribution OF annuities great
partiality had been manifested by Mon
teith, or that the Indians thought SO at
least. We were not present but we're
told that the evidence given by Joe
Craig was especially to the effect that
much of the hostility of Joseph and his
band was owing to their dissatisfaction
with Monteith as Agent on the reserva.
ton. To US it seemed that Watkins
was somewhat surprised to find that
these old Indians should come out SO
plain and unmistakeable against their
Agent, and Judging from some appear
ances up to this last evidence given,
Monteith has had the ears Of the Court
of Inquiry almost constantly since he
has been in the country, and but for a
peremptory order from Washington to
push investigation further, the whole
inquiry would have resulted in nothing
further than farcical show of investi-
cation ending with complete white
washing of all the policy and transac-
tions Of Agent Monteith. As we have
been informed contractors, supply men
and government officials have been the
chief men who have been called upon
as witnesses to bolster up Monteith's
good character. 1t is not to be expect
ed that person will smite the hand
that feeds him. Other men than these
who have as deep an interest in the
country have been close observers of
the policy pursued at the Lapwai Ag-
ency, who have never been called upon
to bear testimony and who are not dis.
posed to force themselves forward as
witnesses in this matter. Watkins will
not get the whole truth unless the man.
ayers OF the Indictment can have full
time to procure their witnesses.

"A great granddaughter OF
Thomas Jefferson sends to the
New York World a memorandum
in the handwriting of the great
statesman, making suggestions for
necessary legislation for counting
the electoral votes in case of dis
pute in the college. Mr.. Jefferson
holds the grounds that the Senate
and House of Representatives,
when they meet in joint session,
do so for the purpose of counting
the vote, and not to witness the
counting. In case OF dispute of
the right of one or more of the.
electors of any State to vote, he.
suggests that it shall be lawful
for the Senators and Represents.

the presence of the two houses OF
separately and withdrawn from
them, to decide by their own votes
to which of the persons voted for
by any of the electors of their
State tor to what person. the in
valid vote or votes shall be given !;
for which purpose they shall be
allowed the term of one hour and
no longer, during which no other
certificate shall be opened or pro-
ceeded on" Had this paper been
published previous to the decision,
or rather formation of the Elect
oral Commission, greet trouble
and grave risks would probably
have been avoided in determining
the count between Hayes and Til
den last winter. The views of so
illustrious statesman could not
but have had great weight in set
ting the plan of determining the
result. There was nothing of the
aliunde about the great Virginian.
