When to our school we shall turn,

railroad bonds will all have been paid and

been suggested that a good way TO arrange
for the payment OF the debt aud one which
ia entirely practicable, would be TO put 1t in
the form of xix notes of $4,000 each, the first
made payable in 1890, the year following the
extinguishing Of the railroad debt and one

There are conflicting statements in crcula.

ward the confirmation of b. b. Sm,lley OF
the Democratic national committee as collec.
tor Of Burlington, VT. As everything Mr..

is reason to believe that be intends to treat
the nomination of Smalley exactly a. he will
treat any other nomination. That means I'M
doubtedly that he will endeavor to ascertain
the reasons, or rather the papers, which may
have contained the charges against Gen.
Wells, who was suspended to make the place
for Smaey, and that failing to secure that
information he will reserve his decision. The
case is still in the hands of the sub commit
tee, where it is likely to remain for some
time. All of the suspended cases are to be
treated upon the same basis. Some who
ought to he informed are of the opinion that
there will be no confirmation of the suspend
ed cases unless the information for which the
Senate calls for is forthcoming

inst. In reply transmit all the official pa
pers on file in the department which 1 under
stand to be embraced by the resolution. The
official reports made to this department by
Henry Ward as United States Indian inspec-
tor are vouminous, and as the clerical force
OF this department is limited and otherwise
fully employed, 1 have deemed ii best to
transmit the original reports. As they are
frequently consulted in the transaction Of the
business of the department 1 have the honor
to request that they be returned to its files as
soon as they are no longer required by the
Senate. am directed by the President to
say that if the object Of the resolution il to
inquire into the reasons for the suspension
of Mr.. Ward these papers are not to be con-
sidered as constituting all the evidence sub
mitted to him In relation thereto. am also
directed by the President to say that he does
not consider it consistent with the public in
terests to transmit copies Of unofficial papers
from private citizens held in my custody for
him which relate exclusively to the suspen-
sion Of incumbents. have the honor to be,
etc. L. q. @. LAMAR, Secretary.
