YANKToN, D. t., Nov. 20, 1878.
General Hammond, Indian Inspector,
has been ordered by Secretary
Schurz from here to Salt Lake to inves-
tisate shortcomings there. General Ham
mond recently investigated the Birkett
claim of $36, ,000,f which an appropria-
YVES made at the last session OF Congress.
Birkett was agent less than two years for
the Toncas, and claimed to have advanc-
ed the above sum to save his wards from
starva tion.
A CLEAN STEAL.
The department since the appropriation
was made has suspected the truth OF the
statements upon which the claim was
based, and kept the claimant out OF his
money. Hammond discovered that
Brickett never made any advances, and
that it was clean steal. The agent who
succeeded Brickett reports that he found
the agency in wrelched condition, thele
being absolutely nothing ON hand.

STATE BANKS.
THE MOBILE BOARD OF TRADE
Asks for the Repeal of the Ten Per Cent
Tax ON state Bank Circulation.
Mobile Register. April 40.


At a meeting of the Board of Trade yester-
day, it was resolved that our Senators and
Representatives in Congress be requested to
vote for the proposed bill in favor of the re-
peal OF the 10 per cent prohibition against
State bank circulation. 1t was understood
that the bills offered by United States Sena-
tors Harris, OF Tennessee, and Butler, of South
Carolina. We're intended to do away with the
unjust and unconstitutional discrimination
against State banks and their circulation, and
the opinion OF the board was unanimously
against the continuance of the prohibition
The board very properly held that the reason
having ceased the law should cease. The con-
Shtution nowhere forbids the State from exer-
cising Its sovereign privilege of organizing
banking institutions. The 10 per cent prohi-
bition tax was a war measure and would fall
to the ground the very instant the courts
have an opportunity to pass upon it.
The only Federal provision as respects
money is the authority given Congress to
coin money. That means nothing more than
the exclusive privilege of fixing the stamp
upon gold and silver. It cannot bv any
stretch of the imagination lie made to mean
that Congress can declare ANYTHING to be
money-ean exclude anything issued by the
States from being mOney-and can establish
national banking institutions to the exclusion
OF all State banks and all State bank circuIa-
tion: The Register belongs to that old Demo-
cratic school which believes that the States
have some sovereignty left, and among the
reserved sovereign powers is the right to

Text of Judge McLin's Confession.

New YORK, April 23-The Times Washing
ton special gives Judge McLins confession
as follows:
"As member OF the late State Board OF
Canvassers of the State of Florida, feel i'm
PEELED by a sense OF duty to myself and JUS
tice to others to make the following state
ment: At the time the canvass was made
was not at any time conscious of acting other
wise than In right and proper manner. |
entered upon the canvass with the determi-
nation that it was my privilege and duty, in
political sense to give the benefit of every
doubt In favor OF the Republican party. |
felt that when question could be decided
either way, without doing violence to the
in politics that I should always lean to my
own party, and give my decision in its favor
even at the hazard Of straining the point.
AT no time did | feel that occupied the
position Of a judge, charged with the duty
Of strictly and nicely weighing and balancing
all the evidence presented. Looking back
now to that time, I feel that there was a COM
binatiOn OF influences that must have oper-
ated most fearfully in binding my judgment
and swaying my action. / had been for many
years, and was at the time of the canvass, a
very active partisan, and sincerely thought
that our State and nation would suffer terri
ble injustice il the Democratic party We're to
obtain the Presidency and that policy Of
hatred to the negro and those who had been
the friends Of the negro would control at
Washington.
1T was the common and unanimous talk
also that the very existence of the men who
in the South had upheld the Republican
party depended upon the election OF Hayes.
Hayes would sustain them throughout the
South, while Tilden would crush them. |
was shown numerous kilograms addressed to
Gov. Stearns and others from trusted leaders
OF the Republican party in the North, insist
ing that the salvation of the country de-
pended on the vote OF Florida being cast for
HAYES.
Those kilograms came from those to whom
had been accustomed to refer. The chair
man of the National Committee, and the man
who was the nearest personal friend Of
Hayes, had conducted the canvass. These
kilograms also gave assurance of the forth
coming Of money and troops, if necessary, to
secure the victory for Hay es.
Following these kilograms, trusted North
ern Republican party, leaders, friends of
Hayes, arrived in Florida as rapidly as rail-
roads could bring them.
Il was surrounded by these men, who were
ardent Republicans, and especially by the
friends Of Hayes. One gentleman particular
ly, Gov. Noyes OF Ohio, was understood to
represent and speak with the authority OF a

A HAYES FLORIDA MANIpULATOR, BE-
ING LEFT OUT IN THE COLD,
Goes to work ON the Osher Side, seeking
sweet Revenge Upon His Praudulency.

New YORK, April 25-The Times Washing
ton special says: Among those who went to
Florida after the presidential election was
Judge Alfred Morton, special agent of the
Postoffice Department. He was a strong Re-
publican, and did good service in securing the
evidence upon which the Returning Board
afterwards based Its action In refusing to
count the votes of number of precincts. In
this way Morton rlsked his life, penetrated
far into the interior counties Of Florida, and
it was only by the exercise of remarkable
presence of mind and personal bravery that
he returned to Tallahassee alive.
After Hayes inaugural MOI ton confidently
looked for promotion, but instead was about q
year ago unceremoniously dismissed from the
Postofflce Department He was then in At
lanta, Ga, and threatened to one day repay
Ha{ Is and his administration for the injury
done him.
Recently agents OF Samuel J. Tilden ap-
preached Morton at his home in Syracuse.
N. Y, knowing of his intimate acquaintance
with the Florida count and the manGuvres
which preceded it, and offered him many in
ducements to go to Tallahassee and obtain
information which would tend to reopen the
old electoral controversy and aid the cause
Of Tilden. The result WAS that Morton pro-
ceeded to Florida, and there Is no doubt that
he was instrumental in securing from McLin

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The reception to
President Hayes and party by the members
morning, and, despite the threatening appear
ance OF the weather, the immense hall was
packed almost to suffocation. The building
was profusely decorated with bunting and in
placed magnificent display of flowers, con
tributions from the nurseries Of the several
members OF the association
At about 10 o'clock the Liberty cornet band

ward Drouin.
AS the party entered the band played tHail
TO the Chief, and its sounds were almost
completely drowned by the applause OF the
assemblage Hayes was escorted upon the
rostrum, where he was officially welcomed by
Mr.. Wright and introduced to the audience.
The President, in answering, said that he
was very sensible of the honor OF the greet
ing given him by such men as the CONNER
cal Exchange representatives. He then in
troduced Secretary Sherman, whom he
thought being at the head of the business
part OF the administration, would interest
them more

himself to thank the members for the kindly
reception, especially as rendered to the Presf-
dent.

barked on the steamer Columbia, upon which
the greater portion OF the day will be spent In
sailing up and down the river.
The Columbia swung into the stream at
twelve o'clock with about 400 guests on board
The vessel was profusely decorated for the
excursion. The river was covered with steam
tugs and other craft, among them the revenue
cutter Hamilton, which thundered forth sa-
lutte of thirty-on guns as the Columbia headed
up the river. Several points of interest were
visited. A banquet was served on board at
2 o'clock. The excursionists returned to the
city at $50, and the visitors were driven to
the Continental Hotel where they dined

anxiety Of the Republicans Of the North and
their full sympathy with us.
II cannot say how far my action may have
been influenced by the excitement that pre-
vailed, nor how far my partisan zeal may
have led me into error; neither can / say
how far my course was influenced by the pro-
mise made by Noyes, that II Hayes became

Here follow excuses for the confession OF
the Irregularities Of the Florida CANVASS.
Then McLfn continues:
"If the returning board had acted In accord
ance with the decision OF the Supreme Court
Of the State, defining the powers OF the board
rendered, there is no question Of the fact that
Jilden would have been entitled to the vote Of
Florida. ~~x
"The return from Baker county, which WAS
counted, and which have since learned was
q falsely manufactured return, including
the true return, which corresponded with the
returns of that county, would certainly have
given the State to Tilden ] have recently
learned from q Republican leader Of that
county,, that after the, returns had been
votes were added to them by the inspectors
and the clerk Of said precinct,

lican ballots were stuffed into the ballot-box
III pTeclDCJ NO. y, ypb IL was maze 10 appear,
even to the satisfaction of the Democratic
member of the board, that these were not
false ballots.
Subsequent confession shows that they
were stuffed into The box. / had seen Joseph
Bowers one of the inspectors, have tickets
similar to them n few days before the election,
and cautioned him against their use, unless
they were generally adopted, and / after
wards learned that he gave them up.
"In Jefferson county, In O certain precinct,
100 votes were added to the ballots and
counted; no chagre WIS made as tO the fact
before the board. The confession OF J. Bell,
since made to me- disclosed the fact hat he
had 2l9 votes fraudulently added to the Archer
county return. Had the IA votes stuffed into
the box in Leon county, and the 100 votes
surreptitiously added In Jefferson county,
and the added 2l9 votes I'm Archer county, ag-
gregating 393 votes, been rejected, and the
Democratic rejected precincts, which were
excluded for irregularlty, contrary to the de-
cisOn Of the Supreme Court, been retained
and counted Tilden would have carried the
State.
"The conclusion, therefore, is irresistible
that Tilden was entitled to the electoral vote
Of Florida, and not Hayes"
Here follows denunciaton Of HAYES for
Inconsistencies and unfaithfulness to the Re-
publican cause.
In conclusion, McLin says:
Whatever may be the opinion Of men in
regard to my motives, | give them facts, and
leave my motives to u higher tribunal.
