THE FORTY.slxTn CONGRESS-.

The Forty-sixth Congress, which met
in extra session last Spring, will. convene
iii regular session one week from next
Monday. California, which was not
represented at the extra session in the
House of Representatives, will have its
full representation of four members in
the regular session. Three of the Cali
fornia members are Republicans and
one is Democrat. This, reduces the
Democratic majority of five in the extra
session to two, but the election of
Waldo Hutchins, a Democrat, in the
Twelfth District of New York, at the
recent election, to succeed Alexander
Smith, Republican, gives the Demo
ats a clear majority of three over both
Republicans and Greenbackers in the
House. Senator Chambers death
makes the only change which has oc-
CURED in the Senate since the extra
session. The vacancy has been filled
by the appointment by Governor Cross
well of Michigan, of II. o. Baldwin, of
Detroit, a Republican.

TIRE MALmEUR EMIsARY.
A Model Representative OF the Indian
Bureau.


Two or three weeks since, fellow
named j. w. Scott, who pretends to be
acting for the Interior Department, ar
rived here from Oregon. His threats
created considerable alarm among the
Indians, who congregated here from all
parts of the country to hear what he
had to say. Naches and Winnemucca
say that at the time of the outbreak at
the Malheur Reservation, a year ago
last Summer, this man Scott, who they
state had beef contract at the Reser-
walton, had talk with the Indians at
Crowley's ranch. They told him that if
he would state their grievances on pa
per and send the document to Wash
ington, they would return to the Res
ervation. The chiefs dictated and
Naches interpreted what be should
write. When they finished not having
very much confidence in his integrity,
they took the paper from him and gave
it to G.. B.. Crowley to read. In this
way they ascesbained that he had not
written what they dictated, and instead
of stating the fact that they were. being
starved at the Reservation and were
driven to desperation by the treatment
they received, he painted the Indians
as demons and the Agent as all angel.
This Infatuated the savages, and Naches
and Winnemucca could hardly restrain
the Reservation Indians from scalping
Scott right then and there. Knowing
that he had played the Indians false at
that time, Naches and Winnemucca
were afraid to trust him at the council
held here upon his arrival from NAL
heur short time ago, and they asked
few white. men-among them the
writer-to be present. What occurred
at the council was truthfully reported
in these columns at the, time. Scott, it
appears, does not like. the truth, so he
reported to Naches yesterday that the
SILVER STATE stated a. few days ago
that he (Naehesl and Jerny Long, the
interp seter,. were, the most notorious
liars in the country. What object the
fellow could have in telling such lie
to the Indians, the writer cannot sur
mise,, unless 10 was for the purpose OF
making Them distrustfal of those who
tell the truth about the Malheur A,en-
cy.. An, acquaintance of many years
with many of the Piutes Of HUMBOLDT
county, warrants. the writer In saying
that, SO far as his experience extends,
they are generally truthful and reliable,
while respectable white men who knew
Scott in Plumas county, California, be-
fore he went to Malheur,, say the rec
onls of the courts in that county will
show that decent men testified that
they would NOT believe him under OATH
Surely, the Interior Department ought
to send man with a, better reputation
az it's representative. to, holA councils
with the Indians, and Keep Mr., Scott
at Malheur to take, the, census. of the
Indians and make affidavit to, the guam
tity of beef and blankets distributed at

an Indian since "a year ago last Jnne.

Notwithstanding the oppressive heat, the Com

bad invited residents to show cause why
certain licenses which had been objected

cautioned the Board that it could not constitute
itself judicial tribunal. BY refusing a license 1t
inflicted punishment outside of that which pro-
yided by the law of the State. The Board could
not, he said, under the law revoke a license, and
ought not to refuse one. 1t was not immoral to sell
on Sunday the clergy of the city to the contrary
notwithstanding and unless 1t was, no punishment
could be inflicted by any Court. Commissioner
Foster at this point stated that the Board was not
a iudicIa tribunal. and therefore did not desire to
listen to any legal argument. III any law was
needed he said, the Board could OBTAIN the ADVICE
from the City Counsel.
