Moro Lirht on the Indian once.

New YORK, Feb. 4-Thc committee of In
dian Commissioners, who are are investigating
the charges against Commissioner Hayt, were
IN session all day in tie Metropolitan Hotel.
Tho testimony of thrco witnesses for the de-
fenso was taken. Tho defendant himself was
examined, but his testimony was u brcrsynop-
sis Of that he has already given before the
committees. The testimony Of Edward Knapp
llayt, defendants son. was of the most dam
aging character He snidthnt Mr. VIM. Hagen
camp, of tue Second National Bank in Jersey
City, arranged with him to go to Arizona
and buy The mine for him, and that these ar
rangemcnts wero mudcat the Office of Charles
Il. Dcschlor, in COurlland street IN this city,
in presence of the elder Mr.. Hayt. lie further
testified that the latter instructed him to drop
the name of lluyt aud use tho name of Ed
ward Knapp. He stated that If his hlther
had any interest in the mine he knew nothing
of it. He took letters of introduction to Grn-
eral Hammond, who was inspector under
Commissioner IIayt General Hammond, he
said, met him at Florence, Ariaoua, aud ac-
compancd him to McMilan's small min
ing settlement, where the Washington mine
was bought, witness giving drafts on Mr..
lIagencamp in payment, aud signing them
Edward Knapp. The mine, he said, was pur.
chased from II. l.. Hart, ex-1ndian agent at
San Carlos, who was then under serious
charges, which had boon preferred against
| mond.
1t is said that young Mr. ITayt made the
impression ont lie committee of being very
truthful witness. Mr.. Hagcncamps testi-
mony was to the same effect as tlnt Of young
Hayts, but his memory was not clear
as to how the latter found out Gen
eral Hammond, or whCre he found him.
A PLEA FOR CHARITY.
Judge Bcdle, counsel for the defendant, in
summing up, argued that though things
might look suspicious against Commissioner
| Hayt, there was no evidence of his wrong
doing, and he suggested that the board should
say in their report that the Commissioner had
ncted unwisely instead Of wrOmgfully
| The committee will complete their report
tomorrow aud make IL public.
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION PROMISED.
1t was stated at the session to-day that q
letter had been received from the Secretary of
the Interior, thanking the committee for the
thorough investigation they had made in the
matter, and inasmuCh rs out of this scandal
false allegations might be made against the
Indian Bureau that the board appoint COM
mittee to investigate all the methods of adj
ministerng Indian affairs. The following
were appointed as such committee General
Fisk, chairman; William II. Lyon and Albert
X. Smiley. This committee will begin its
work at once in Washington, and win ex-
anime all the officials in the Iudian Bureau
and visit the different agencies and inspect

The Times Review claims to have re-
liable information from the western
part of the State that movement is
on foot to pack the Winnemucea con-
vention to secure delegation from
Nevada to Cincinnati in favor of Judge
Field, It therefore cautions the Tilden
men and other Democrats who do not
,again desire to be led to defeat by these
; self constituted leaders to watch the
game closely, as the managers OF the
Field boom are men whose names have
been synonymous with defeat to the
Democratic party in this State since it's
organization.
This caution, which is given under
''the head Of ''Tilden Men, Bewarel" by
the Times Review, should be needed by.
those who are not in favor of instruct.
ing the delegates to Cincinnati to vote
for Tilden as well as those who are.
There are plenty of Democrats in Ne
vada who do not believe in instructing
for either Tilden or Field. With the
breach in New York, which cost Gov
'ernor Robinson nearly 100000 votes
last Fall because he was known as Til
'den's friend, still open, it is doubtful if
Tilden can carry that State against
Blaine or Sherman, and without it he
can scarcely hope to be elected. Under
such circumstances, those who would

HANK 'TREAsON.

The Reno Journal is outspoken in its
rupposition to Senator Shaesa. As the
Journal is edited by bold over Sena-
tor, its opposition to the reelection OF
EevadaS Senator from California will
q count in the election of Sharon's sue
cessor, unless Mr. Powning, as Senator
.;i6isproves by his vote what he says
against him as editor. The Journal
says: 5L4bt
..The manner IN which Sharon has
treated Nevada is without a parallel in
1.-the history of the country. Gould he,
by any possibility, be reelected, the
I Democracy should prevent him from
taking his seat. The idea that resi-
dent of San Francisco has any more
right to represent Nevada than he has
New York, is preposterous
That paragraph is rank treason, and
II it appeared in Democratic journal
would be openly condemned as such by
the Enterprise and Gold Hill News,
(which appear to be the special organs
in Nevada of the Senator from Califor-
MIA. The idea that a Democrats Sen
ate should attempt to prevent a Senator
chosen by the Legislature of the ''Bat-
tle-born' State of Nevada from taking
sahis seat for the reason that the Senator
= liz not ~ resident of the State, can not
be tolerated for moment. The Jour
. nal knows full we'll that the Senate
could not exclude him on such grounds,
and that an attempt to do so would be
the Inauguration of second rebellion,
= and the journal should not counsel such
proceedings The Senate has the same
. grounds for excluding him now that it
would have if he is reelected; but il it
should make the attempt to deprive
him IF the seat which he does not fill,
the Journsl would not approve of the
act 1t is nonsense to expect the Sem
ate to exercise powers which properly
belong to the people of Nevada. An
election fer members Of the Legislature
will be held in few months, and if the
people are not hoodwinked by the poll
ticians they can easily get rid Of Sharon
by electing men who will not support
ham under any circumstances. The
Journal understands. full well that if a
majority of the next Legislature is Re-
publican, the caucus may select Sharon
for Senator, and that the machine may
compel Mr.. Powning to vote for him,
as he and all others who attend eau
Gus of majority of the Legislature are
pledged to support its nominee for
Senator. To give force and effect to
his threats to oppose the reelection of
Sharon, Senator Powning must declare
shat '.he will act independent of the
caucus and not be bound by the rules
OF that machine which transforms in
de5epdeat members of Legislative bodies
into mere tools.

on the same paper as THAI on which
Whitaker wrote to his mother, and in,
fact on part of the same sheet upon
which he had started to write. South

The New York Times says: More

six thousand arrived during April, and
the present rate of arrivals is about

this influx continue to increase during
the Summer months, we may reason
ably expect fully half million emf
grants will reach our shores this year.
In Europe this vast exodus has caused
much uneasiness, and it is not to be
looked upon with unmixed satisfaction
by the people Of this country. There
is well-grounded fear that our friends
are coming upon US much too fast for
their good or ours.
