MR. GALPIN REMOVED.

IRREGULARITIES IN TIE INDIAN SERVICE THE CAUSE
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRI3CsR.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-Thc Secretary of the Int
Nor, having read the report of the commission
appoint I'd llst Summer to investigate the admins
tration of Indian Affairs and especially to inquire
into certain accusations made against s.
A. Galpn the chief clerk of the Bureau,
wrote letter TO the latter yesterday in-
forming him that his services are no longer
needed. II this letter the Secretary says that the
board Of inquiry appointed in June to investigate
the accusations made against him by Mr.. Wolf and
others has filled to find most Of the charges sus-
tanned, but that the accusation OF unjust and i'm
proper treatment OF a Subordinate is sustained
the Secretary, in addition, accuses Mr Galpin Of
derel ton Of duty in that he neglected t) inform
the Secretary Of the Interior of Irregularities at the
Pawrso Agency. III. this connection, Mr. Schurz
says that dishonest practices in the Indian Service
are among The greatest aad most dangerous evils
We have t. contend with; that the most vigilant
and relentless prosecution of corrupt mcD connected
with the service, either rs agents or contractors
is one of the frt and most imperative duties
OF this Department; and that only in rare
Instances is it possible to trace such
practices to the guilty parties IIc adds that
as the knowledge of these papers came to The De-
paltnent an Indictment Of tie persons implicated
could withou; difficulty bayo been procured.
The Secretary also says in his letter that Nh Gal
pins only excuse for failing TO make this matter
known was Shat he locked the papers in his desk,
sad forgot them Mr. Galpin's answer TO this
is that the dalay in acting on the pa
pr touching irregularities ot the Pawnee
Agency was caused by the belief that
security was essential TO any proper action upon
them: that Immediately aftcr<their reception the
business of the Office connected with the letting Of
sontracts occupied his time for several days; and
that before he had leisure to attend to the mat
ter he was suspended from Office and substantially
forbidden to remove any paper from his desk !;
tsat subsequently, he recalled the existence Of these
papers, took them from his desk, and gave them to
re Commissioner. If 1t had not been for this, he
nys, The commission Of investigation would have
Bad no knowledge of the matter.
Dir Galpiu further denies that he had any interest
any time in any of these matters or any desire TO
shield guilty persons and says that most Of the r-
fgulari,ies complained of occurred before he be-
zane connected with the Iadian Bureau.
