QUAKER INDIAN AGENTs-The Hicksite and
Orthodox Quakers' yearly meeting, or confer
ence, for Indiana and western Ohio is in ses-
attendance, including minister from England
and the eastern states. In the orthodox con-
ference the committee on Indian affairs report
ed that, owing to an order from the Interior
department compelling the Indian agents to
employ only head clerks nominated by the de.
partment, who are to have charge OF the books
and disbursements at the agencies, without be.
ing under the control of the agents, and also to
numerous orders and decisions by the Secretary
Gripping them in their work, the COMMITTEES
they had severed all connection OF the meeting
with the department. In the Hicksite meeting
the committee reported that their agents in.
tended to resign for the same reason. The com.
mittee was authorized to withdraw If it found
an amicable adjustment could not be made. The
Quakers claim they are being ousted to make
room for politicians, and that all agents unde
the care OF their society will be dismissed with.
in one year from this time.

GENERAL GRANT MAKES A PERSONAL EXPLA-
NATION.-A telegram to the N. Y. Herald from
San Francisco Oct. l, SayS:-General Grants
speech at Stockton yesterday is the theme Of
general interest here to-day. Ever since his
name has been associated with politics the
democratic press has aSSailed him furiously. to
the annoyance OF republicans, on his alleged
life at Knights Ferry and Stockton In 1S49. and
through constant repetition was believed by
many. The speech was evidently the result of
quiet waiting Of years for an opportunity,
gratlflcat1on Of his friends. The generals
statement was made in the presence of some
'.forty- -niners," who could easily have contra
dicted him II not truthful. This speech sweeps
away a wretched calumny that has circulated
all over the Union. He has waited decade to
speak and when he found the time and place
he did it effectualiy. He was not the man
known there as 'Captain Grant" He was not
in the country till 1852.
