Indians Ipt1L StnrCe to De0th-The Noun
tain on Its Laborious Way to Mahon,et.
Yankton Special to Oh icago Tribune.l
There is trouble ahead with the Red
Cloud Indians. An army officer reports a
million pounds of supplies at the old Agency
buildings on the Missouri. This must be
transported back into the country distance
of 200 miles to Red Cloud's present location.
The transportation train, numbering 100
wagons, has started out with loo, 900 pounds.
There are 100 Indian drivers, with their
squaws, who accompany as cooks. It will
take at least one month to make the ronnd
trip. The Indians and ponies will subsist
out of the 1000 pounds loaded on each
wagon. A 100 miles of the country travelled
over was burned clear by prairie fires, and
cannot furnish any forage. The ponies are
described by the officers as jack-rabbits,--
not strong enough to haul the hat off a
mans head. With bad winter weather, and
tue usual SHOWS, ranging from one to ten
feet in depth, these ponies must stick, and
the supplies en- route be abandoned, and,
under the most favorable circumstances, the
Indians, with their transportation facilities,
will consume ten months to get
their winters supplies through. Their annuity
goods, including winter clothing, are still on
the river. There are 5000 people dependent
upon these supplies and goods. My inform
ant says it is almost question whether the
driver and his companion can haul sufficient
to supply themselves and ponies on round
trip. If the white contractors are called in,
the cost of transportation will be more than
the supplies are worth. The Indian driver
gets $3O per month. and if that is deducted

1T Only disks It's Rights and is Not a Sub
sidy BeOJer.
To the Editor of the Herald:
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. rs, 1S78.-1n a re-
print of recent article in the Herald I find
the following: off a subsidy is granted to
the Texas Pacific one will also be given to
the Northern Pacific, and to the Atchison,
Topeka &, Kansas, which is also to be con.
tinued to the Pacific. If the existing road
is too powerful for the control of Congress,
what will be the case when it is reinforced
by three others as greedy and INSCRIPTIONS
as itself, AMI having a common interest in
refusing to pay lack or account for the mil
lions of public money which they had filched
from the treasury under the pretence of
loan?''
The Northern Pacific has not asked for
subsidy, and am we'll assured it never will.
There is no reason why it should. The COM
pany considers itself able to bnlld the road
with its own resources, including the land
grant already made to it, and it asks no
more. The privilege of doing this, and
thereby furnishing competing line to the
Pacific, is the only prayer the stockholders of
the reorganized Northern road have ever
made to Congress. These stockholders are
very numerous, and reside in almost every
neighborhood throughout the Union. There
are ], 492 of them in your own State of New
York, and 2.482 in Pennsylvania. They had
bought Northern Pacific bonds in open mar
ket. These were sub sequently converted in
to preferred stock. and the money of these
stockholders, to the amount of over So, OOO,-
600 cash, has gone into the enterprise and
is still there. AS they desire now
only the privilege of completing
national work, with their own credit and
capital, on the terms upon which they orig
lnally invested, their proposition does not
seem unreasonable. repeat, they seek no
subsidy, but only limited guarantee against
confiscation. They have merely petitioned
Congress that the grant, upon the faith of
which they invested their money, shall not
be resumed for certain reasonable period
OF time. Such a resumption, under the cir
cumstances, would be most cruel and unjust,
and would serve no public good. It is in
credible that Congress can be induced to in
tlict SO gross wrong upon such multitude
of innocent persons, who in many instances
invested their entire estates upon the
strength of government encouragement. So
just and reasonable, indeed, has their prayer
heretofore been regarded that it was granted
by the Senate at the last session without a
dissenting vote. Very respectfully,
CHAs. B. WRIGHT,
President Northern Pacific Railroad.

Sattler's Funeral.

The funeral of D. c. Sattler took place
yesterday afternoon from the residence of
Michael Levy, 172 East Ninth street. In re-
spouse to the call of Union Lodge No. 48
and Minnesota Encampment No. 1, 10.
0. F., very large number of Odd Fellows
attended and took part in the sad pageant.
With these and the members of Minnesota
Lodge No. 157 of I. 0. B. B., there could not
have been less than 300 persons. At 2:3O
O'Clock the procession formed into line, and
headed by the Northwestern band, wended
its slow and solemn way to Mount Zion
cemetery, where the remains were deposited
IN their last resting place, tn I. o. B. b., of
which deceased was president, performing
the solemn rites. After the ceremonial of
the Bnai Birth the rabbi OF Mount Zion con-
gregation offered prayer and delivered an
address. Thus closed the last chapter of a
life history history so short and fraught
with so much excitement and trouble and
terminating so tragically. Like Sampson of
old he bartered his substance for the smiles
of Delilah and like him he sought relief
from his unrest and harrassing care and
overburdened mind in suicides grave.

THE INDIAN BUREAU.
Gen. Marcy on the Transfer to the VA,
Department.

Gen. Marcy on the Transfer to the Wuy
Department.
Gen. R. B. Marcy has addressed letter to the
commission having in charge the transfer of
the Indian bureau to the war department. He
makes the most sweeping declarations of cor
ruptions in the Indian service and says if any
more direct evidence were required to substan-
tiate the charge of malfeasance in office than
from time to time has been made against
indian agents, contractors. and others,
the fact that instances might be adduced
showing that many of these agents entered
the service poor and retired rich would be suf-
t1clent to convince the most skeptical that
frauds have been committed. The most untu-
tored Indians are cognizant of these facts, and
the recent Indian difficulties may be traced to
this cause. The transfer, he thinks, would be
expedient and wise, though it is not seriously
desired by the army. 1.-The army officer" he
adds, lis the last person who wants an Indian
war, but his experience in Indian affairs is
great, his problty unquestioned, and his influ-
ence doubtless has been most salutary with the
Indians, for they know he never deceives them,
and the only motive no could have in
desiring a change is the preservation of peace
and tranquility Referring to the Sioux and
the possibilities of their rising, he says that in
the absence of a suitable military force HOSTILE
ties might be brought on that would devastat e
the frontier settlements. On the question of
economy. he says the transfer would be a good
thing. Retired officers could perform the du-
ties of agents and department commanders,
and act as superintendent. Quartermasters
and commissaries would have the same safe sys-
TEN of accountability now required in the army,
and medical officers could supply medicines
for sickness, and all without additional pay
From the transfer unity Of purpose would
ensue, and a doing away with the evils conse-
quent upon the present management. He then
shows how this division of authority badly af-
fects the service. He adds st is believed
that well educated army officers could superin-
tend the instruction of Indians both in school
ing and agriculture. as we'll as men whose
efforts have been mainly directed to enriching
themselves by defrauding the Indians" As
an evidence of this Gen. Marcy cites the
given by army officers to the Kiowas
and Comanches atSt Augustine, Fla. The letter
closes follows: 1.-The conduct of Indian
affairs under the existing system, after prac-
tical working of twenty-nine years, has proved
immensely expensive, highly conductive to
fraud, and unsatisfactory to the Indians, pro-
voking them to hostilities that have cost the
lives of many brave soldiers. When controlled
by the war department it was judicious, firm
and economical, and IN every respect accorded
with the Indians sense Of just and human
treatment

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Civil service re-

The last has followed the death, on Wednes.
day, of clerk in the treasury department
named Loughhead, best told by giving an
actual conversation which took place between
two of his fellow clerks and member OF the
Congressional Republican campaign COM
mittee, a Congressman who was reelected.
"lf you please, sir, we would like to get
back twelve dollar political assessment col
lected from Mr.. Loughhead, clerk in the
second comptroller's of6ce,' said two men
who called upon member of the Republican
Congressional committee this morning.
GLOW is that?'' was asked.
"Why, you see Loughhead, poor fellow,
fell down in fit last night while at dinner,
and died in few moments afterward. He
has no friends here, and could not afford to
keep his family here. They are up in
pennsylvania. There are a good many
children, and Loughhead, we find, had to
pawn his watch to raise this assessment.
Now we thought it would not be unreason-
able for us to ask that the money be paid
back, so thatwe can send the corpse home to
his suffering family
"Why, good God, yes, of course. Why
have you come to me? Didn't they refund
the money at the office?''

could not be paid over without an order
from some member of committee
The member hastily scratched an order.
and the two clerks went away much relieved

struction of civil service reform in the de-

"The Chaplain to the President"
Chicago Times.


Among the most cordial and enthusiastic
of Dean Stanley's hosts in New York was the
Rev. DR.. 0. Il. Tiffany, formerly of Chicago.
Like the Rev. Mr.. Newman, Mr.. Tiffany had
been abroad, and had met Dean Stanley
under the following circumstances The
abbey was crowded, and DR.. Tiffany was
refused admittance by one of the vergers.
II would like very much to be admitted"
said the reverend gentleman. 81 am an
was the verger's reply, 'sbut cannot admit
you, for the place is full" s.Here is my
card.'' said DR.. Tiffany, handing him card
bearing his name and the legend, "Chap-
lain to the President of the United
States" The vereer looked at the card
a moment, and then, with a low bow,
asked the doctor to follow him. DR.. Tiffany
was taken to one of the &c stalls'' near the
seats occupied by the chorlsters, and seated
beside lerical-looking gentleman, who the
doctor Immediately concluded was clergy
man. During the exercises preceding the
sermon of the day DR.. Tiffany entered into
conversation with his ne1ghbor, and finally
handed him his card. What his surprise, a
moment later, to see the gentleman arise,
march up to the preaching DESK and proceed
to deliver the sermon. DR.. Tiffany had been
conversing with the dean of Westminster.
The moment the dean was at liberty after
the sermon the doctor apologized for his in
trusion, to which the dean replied by in
yiting him to lunch. There can be no
doubt about the truth of this story, as it
comes from the doctor himself. But he neg
lects to state what section and chapter of the
revised statutes of the United States of North
America authorizes the employment of
chaplain to the President of the United
States. If there is no such authorization, there
can be no such Office. How then could the
Reverend Tiffany, consistently with his rev.
erend character, assume to be that which
did not exist? Mr.. Newman made official
gates in the far Orient fly open to his entry
by the magic name Of Grant, but Mr.. New
man travelled in an official character. He
was chief inspector of consulates, or some
thing of that kind. The Times dislikes to
believe that Mr.. Tiffany deliberately i'm
posed upon the unsuspecting dean of West
minister, but there is not any such Office as
chaplain to the President Of the United
States, and never has been.

Communicated

A testimonial accompanied by handsome
purse was presented to Father Ryan, on the
occasion of his farewell to the beloved people
under his charge at Byrnesville, Credit River,
and Fairfield, on Monday, Nov. IL, 1873.
The following address also proved conso-
lation from the flock, which the reverend
gentlemen has learned to love:
REV. FATHER: Many well wishers, and i'd
mlrers OF sterling worth, feeling it their pleas
ing duty. desire by some substantial token to
TESTIFY that warm appreciation which MANY
noble qualities of mind, heart and hand ever
call forth. lnasmuch the same have been
plainly visible in every feature of your too
short stay in our midst and for all that is eff
Gent IN the work of the ministry, we deeply
vail your departure from amongst us. We
called you ours, but alas! the unsearchable
ways OF providence direct your steps to more
genial cline, where, no doubt, with a care.
Jealous as for the apple of the eye shall be
guarded every hair of the annointed head
which carries with it under all suns and
pre- prominently on the brow the seal set by the
Saviour's hand.
Most willingly, Reverend and Dear Father
Ryan, would your children of these united
missions bear with you the burden of the day.
and could brawny men, with souls as brave
within, temper the wind to the ''shorn lamb
rest assured that your frail frame would SOON
and safely brace against the cline which has
proved unfriendly.
Can we say it, dear father, It's hard SAYING
separation from you ere yet we knew the value
OF your well-measured guidance in our affairs,
temporal as eternal? The plea of your health.
paramount to other considerations. and +
alone, we feel has broken the bond which
heaven, doing all things we'll as ever and ave.
will yet in a little while fix more securely.
Fearing. many of us, that never again shall
we see your countenance glow with the native
radiance and light of the genius of the Celt.
we heartily wish you God speed and good bye
a hundred times, a thousand. Yes, wherever
you go, wherever you break Life's Bread
Eternal, may the sun of bright prosperity
shine peaceful and serene over your head.
A few short words appropriate to the hour
being said in grateful echo to the warm
impulse of people faithful at every ca IL, the
parishioneres escorted en- masse Father
Ryan to the train going East.

from the appropriation for his supplies,
as the commissioner says it will be,
the Indian will howl. Some Indian
transportation wagons on the trail
to Spotted Tail have already been aban-
doned. Bids have been asked for the trans
portation of 500, pounds from Yankton
to Spotted Taboo miles-over the rough
est kind of road. The contract will be let
tomorrow. The conundrum is, why is all
this transportation left until winter and the
Dakota billiards.? Gen. Hammond, the In
dian inspector, is now at Pine Ridge, Red
Clouds camp, investigating the agent, DIR.
Irwin, who did SO much to move the Indians
away from the river.
