The ChippeMa Disturbance.

The commissioner of Indian affairs has re-
ceived no information in regard to the reported
disturbance. among the Chippewa Indians at
Leech lake on the White Earth reservation.
Some time since the commissioner received a
letter from Henry NJ. Rice, chairman of the
Chippewa Indian commission. in which he at
tributed the trouble among the Indians to the
non-paymen: of the 100000 appropriated for
reservoir damages. He said that the go. 600
paid to the Indians last fall were of little
service to them, gambling, dancing and ILL.,
ness occupied their time, except when away
from headquarters. when whisky drinking was
freely INDUCED in. The present trouble is of
old standing, the Indians wanting their money
paid them in cash per capita, while the law re-
quires its equivalent to be supplied them in
agricultural implements. Several memorials
from the Indians have been sent to Secretary
Noble asking that they be paid in money per
capita, but he has persistently refused to COM
ply with their wishes. The commissioner does
not believe that the trouble will be serious or
of long duration.

THE LINCOLN-HAMLIN CONTROVERSY.
MIR. NicOlay Sustained.


From the Richmond Qnd.) Palladium.
Whether President Lincoln preferred the
nomination of Hannibal Hamlin or Andrew
johnson for the vice presidency in 1864 would
not seem to be of sufficient importance to JUS
tify the bitter quarrel now existing between
Col Mcclure of the Philadelphia Times and
MIR. Nicolay, President Lincoln's private secre-
tary. As a matter of fact, however, we believe
Mr.. Nicolay is in the right and Col Mcclure in
the wrong upon the question. We were a
member of the Indiana delegation at the Balti-
more convention in 1854 and We distinctly re-
member that at the convention it was very
generally understood that Mr.. Lincoln refused
to express any choice between the candidates
for second place. In company with Judge
kilgore OF this state We made a heightened call
upon President Lincoln the day before the
nominations were made, and while the Presi-
dent. III answer to the direct question, frankly
said he desired his own nomination, he utterly
refused TO indicate any preference for the vice
presidency. We do not, therefore, believe he
could have really been urging the selection of
johnson. If he were doing SO some one be-
sides Col. Mcclure at the convention would
have known it, Certainly the Indiana delega-
ton. which supported johnson, would not have
been ignorant of the fact.

WASHINGTON. ~ u, July ID, 1851.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Leetch introduced
to me man named Roy, who claimed to be a
poor doctor. In a manner that would have
been insulting in gentleman. but was only
laughable in him. he demanded to know if /
wrote the letter signed Francis Meagher."
After quietly cooling the youDg man down and
giving him to understand would tell him only
what pleased, and in my own way, told him

in writing another. 1t is said to be pretty hot
at the District building at present and l think
this must have affected this young fellow Row,
for he was only there few minutes when he
said he had just left me and had threatened to
shoot me. A reporter came up 10 see me about
it and told him it was the first had heard of
it. i think this valiant knight belongs to that
class described "a pillar of brass by day, a
pillar of gas by night
Roy says am only talking about him to cast
reflection on the health oflcer If the L. tier
keeps such man in Office after this it GER
tainly will reflect on him. / am somewhat
curious to see how DR.. Townshend, who prides
himself on his allegiance to the Grand Army.
will excuse himself for his efforts to place
one Of his comrades in the position
of a falsifier. He may get million
aires to request his retention, but
l don't think he could get a delegation of three
among those who have had for many years to
depend on the health office for medical aid.
And this reminds NE what cold. unfeeling
world this is. How people DO talk. Now, the
leader of that S7,000,000 delegation went
there as public citizen. But some
people are unckaritable enough to say
that he went in DR.. Townshend's
behalf because he has brother in the doctors
employ. People may talk about the Liquor
Dealers Association, but it certainly does
stand by its friends If, Mr.. Editor, you will
insert free ad. for me. would state pair of

In the Criminal Court. Judge Bradley, this
morning VIM. Smith, colored, was tried on two
indictments for assault and battery with intent
to kill Alexander Demonds and VIM. II. Esk-
ridge on April 26 last by cutting them. The
parties had been drinking and got to sparring.
when, it is alleged, Smith used his knife. giving
each OF the others wounds The defendant
claimed that he acted in self-dcfense, but the
court told the Jury that there did not appear
to be any excuse for drawing and using knife
after they had been sparring, and the simple
question for them to determine was as to the
intent to kill. The jury found verdict OF
guilty of assault and not guilty of intent to
kill, and he was sentenced 30 ten months in
jail in one case and six months in the other.
