commissioners, who have been Investigating
tine charges against Hayt diligently and thor
oughlY that no proof of any dishonest act, Oh

ed by the letter OF Secretary Schruz was tax
len forslhe reason that Hayt had withheld
from the department information which the
department ought to have had. On the 9th

lreeept investigation may not have been re
garded as a sufficient ground on which to re
move Hayt, they were of damaging char.
acter, and had Secretary schurz failed to re
move him, other charges of still more serious
nature would have been preferred.
