sureiies but Que consented that tho discharge

NEW York, Feb. 10.--E. A. Hayt, late Com.
missioner of Indian Affairs, has issued an ad E.
dress to the public, wherein he charges that
the committee of tho Board Of Indian Com.
missioners ignored the evidence, travelled out
side the record and thereby reached conclu.
sions not warranted by the facts. lie claims
that there was no unnecessary delay in the
prosecution of Hart, and with reference to
the purchase of tho Washington mine alleges
that two members of the committee extracted
aud destroyed four pages of the direct testi-
mony, while two pages were inserted, contra
dieting the evidence already taken, and that
new matter was injected without permitting
the possibility of q cross. s.cxamlnation. He
accordingly asks for tho publication of tho
whole testimony. and says he will bo content
