Paris, .lune 30.?The floods that broke mil last
week in the s nilli of Prance are the foretnool topic
??I eoaversation. A few ?hits before, the weather
being nnnsanlly cold, what would have been ram in
the lott lands fell a? smut 011 the Upper slopes of the
Pyrenees, When the wind changed to tin west, the
swift melting of the snon helped to swell tbe waters
?>f tin ii,mi in,, tin- Adoor, ami theil affluents with
astonishing rapidity. At Toulouse the Ant serious
alarm was fell early on the morning of the 23d, a
week sgn to-el ly. Twenty-four hours later ihe 1??p
nloiis Quarter uf st. Cyprlen, on tin? h-ft
hank of th?- (?aronui-, was ander water,
huinlieiis ?if it? inhabitants were drowned
or crashed ia the ruins of their falling __onsee,aad
nearly 2tu,000 persons becsme booseleas. Toulouse,
beeaaseof its accnmnlstion of people ami buildings
?ad wealth, was a sort of capital <>f disaster; hu!
the waste and ruin are widespread throughout the 1
valley. ?Hovera] villages ara mentioned where, >'t'

In the two interviews I have hud Vi 11 h you on

earnest desire t<? ?lo j list i??1 to tin linliass, ami

Ih?? whole Indian question. This MBah. ht my
excuse* un a private cUixen, f??r censing ??Kain
to yon, t?i lay before y<ui a stat? in? nt of
orrong! o<?iiimifte?l on tit?* Sioux Indians,
mainly under my own ol;.-?rvati??ii, dttliog a
recent visit lo their country. My \i?it !<? this
legion was whollv in the Interests of M?CM_b
with no intention or wish t<? investigate Indian

1 to my initi?e by Red Cloud, who refits?.! to
allow my party to enter the " Had Loada*
until I had lumms?-?! to stilutni In- ??utiplaints
to you, in pe??n.
Since my mt? ivievv with you upon this f?uli
j?'?t, I have been iafoiuied bj Um Co_bm__
stoner of indian Aflhin of the appointment <>f
a committee tu Investigate affaira at th?' lo ?I

ot the fads before theui. This I am ?piite
r?-ady lode? whenever the committee request
it. I mu??! decline, however, to give my siati
| ment to the interior Department ahn?, foftho
following reasons -.
fbrett I have no confidence vth.iti ver in iha
sincerity of the Secretary of th<- liit?-ii<r ?u th?
| Commission? t ?d' Indian A Ila i v-, winn tiny
[ publicly annonnce tluir nish urn! (leieiminition
j to COITI-**. ihe present abuses in Indi.in man
' ageoient, because I have nason to know th.it
they have Ion); been aware of _______ alni????,
and hat?' made no sincere elloit to reform
them.
Seront!: In all my Intcreonrac ttilh th?-??*?
two officiais, Huir iil'j?-et has manifestly 1mcn
to lind out, not so inueh what tin frauds a? tu
; ally Were, as the extent of my inf<?rniati?>a
i concerning them, s?? m i<> prevent, by eveiy
; lucius in their power, all ?nihli? ?ty ?u exposure
of Ulenia
'1 hinl i The evidence now in my pos ?a se? ion
reflects unfavorably on 1m?t ii ?Secretar. Delano
anil C?immi?-?ioner Smith. 5
For these reasons, 1 have thought lust to htp
luton- yoi!, to vt ?imn, in ?iccordaiiee willi my
| prooibte to lied? Cloud, I made my tit -st not**
niitiii? atioti, lite ?u'eoinpanyint,' statement in
detail, in full ?confidence that th?- evideneo pr??
sent??! will meet with the eonsideratioo its im
poctanco demands. In tin- stat? ment \v li it-is
accompanies this letter 1 have given the ic
sulis of my investigation loto th?' attain? of Red
Cloml Agency, ti"' itfgeol und mos. iin|)?'i!aiit
in the Weat. These results clearly indi? aie
both mismanagement and fraud, ? peeially ia
ihe following particulars!
Firstx The Agent, J. J. Saville, is wholly
unfitted for his position? and guilty of i_itK-a
?'i.nuls upon th?* IndiansJn his chart?'?'.
Stroud: The number ol* Indi in? at this /.goUCf
ha.s been -ystemat-cally overstated, f??r pur
posea which eau only result in fraud.
Thirdt The las! ???ne? ??f inanity gooda, whick
I witnessed, was a Bnspicious transact ion, and,
in part at least, fraudulent.
I-mull? : Tin* beef ??ailie given to the In?
dian*? have been very inferior, owing t<? wys
tematk frauds practiced by the agent ami heal
contractors.
Fifth : The pork issued to the Indians dur?
um* my wit was not Mutable for human f???L
Birth : The floor wa? v? ry infermr, and the
evidence of fraud in this arti? I?? is eoneln
sive.
tieri nth : The tngni and cofl'?-?- Issued vvero
not good? although better than the other sup?
plies.
Eighthi The tob?ceo observed mu ratten.
and of Little Or no MB to the Indians.
Ninth i In consequence of fraud am! m?-m?m
agenient. the Indiana wuTcred greaUy ?luring
the past Winter for want of food ami clothing.
Truth: The contract for freight lunn Chey?
enne t<? Red Cloud Agency was fraudaient, as
the trae distance is 149 miles, while the non-*
tractor vtus paid tur 213 mile..
1 would especially call your attention t<? ihe
??tillen??- of fraud in beef ?utile, as presented
in th?- accompanying statement. This subject
I investigated with mach care, as beef is th?
principal article of food of the Binni Indiana.
and the frauds I observed have ?'.iiis?'?| gteal
sufl'eiing ?u.ion-- (.Km, as w?ll ?iH great poo
uiary loss t<? tin Government. Tin- statement
I have preparad is supported In all its raonntlal
parts by the testimony ?if officers ol' the army,
wba wer?- with me on my expedition, or al the
Red Cloud Agency. Among these officers ?ne
several personally known to you, ami all run
gentlemen of high character, should any part)
<?f my Statement be seriously questioned, I
trust you will allow these g-OtleUMn to lie
beard. II th?' oomnuuiding officers of all i>?)sts
near [odian agencies, or other equally _____t*>
worthy and disiaterested observers there, ??nil?!
likewise testify, I think it would be found Uno.
I have but faintly indicated the corruption
pervading Indian ?ill.tirs.
I have, purposely conf?n?.! myself in this
stat?m? nt to a single agency, ami mainly t?i
the urn- of my \i-it, without r?f?rence to
much other testimony, which has eocee !?? mt
incidentall) in the prosecntioo of my inquirim.
showing hand? of equal magnitude at other
pointa. This corruption^ which hi a. tutIbo.

mal n suit of the present I?hh??* ami in? ?|'<iii?i
