In this Department which l understand TO
be embraced by the resolution. The Off
cial report made to this Department by
| Henry Ward, as United States Indian In
| spector, are very valuminous, and as the
clerical force of this Department is limited
and otherwise fully employed, I have
deemed it best to transmit the original re-
ports, as they are frequently consulted in
the transaction Of the business Of the De-
partment. I have the honor TO request
that they be returned to its file as soon as
they are no longer required by the Senate
I am directed by the President to say that
IL the object of the resolution is to in
quire into the reasons for the suspension
of Ward, these papers are not to be con-
sidered as constituting all the evidence
submitted to him in relation thereto. I
am also directed by the President to say
he does not consider it consistent with the
public interest to transmit copies of unof-
fetal papers from private citizens, held in
my custody for him, which relate exclu-
sively to the suspension of incumbents. l
have the honor to be, very respectfully,
L. Q. @. LAMAR, Secretary.
