FRAUDS O H THE INDIANS.
Prof. 0. c. Marsh, of Yale College,
who had previously brought serious
charges against the Indian Branch of
the Department of the Interior, has
fort died his charges by a letter to the
President, accompanied by a large
amount of documental evidence, sus
taining his charges. Since his inter
view with the President, some weeks
since, he says:
"I have been informed by the Com
missioner of Indian affairs of the ap
pointment of a committee to investi
gate affairs at the Red Cloud Agency
and invited to lay a statement of the
facts before them. This I am quite
ready to do whenever the committee
request it. I must decline, however,
t<* give my statement to the Interior
Depai tiuent alone, for the following
reasons:
first: I have no confidence what
evei in the sincerity ot the Secretary
<*t tlio Interior or the Commissioner of
Indian A flairs, when they publicly an
nounce their wish and détermination
to correct the present abuses in Indian
management, because 1 have reason to
know that they have long been aware
ot these abuses, and have made no
sincere effort to reform them.
Second: In all my intercourse with
these two officials, their object has
manifestly b<*m to lind out, not so
much what the frauds actually were,
as the extent of my information con
cerning them, so as to prevent, by ev
ery means in their power, all publicity
or exposure of them,
j 'ihird: The evidence now in my pos
l session reflects unfavorably on both
j Secretary Delano and Commissioner
j * In * t j
j
; For theae reasons, l have thought
: 1 h*m to lay lie fore )ou, to whom,
1 accordance with my promise to Keü
11 loud, I made my first communication,
the accompanying statement in detail,
in full confidence that the evidence pre*
Kpn j <H j w j|| |ni , 0 t w j(h the considéra
jtion its importance demands. In the
statement which accompanies this let
ter 1 have given the results of my in
vestigation into the affairs of Red
Cloud Agency, the largest and most
important in the West. These results
clearly indicate both mismanagement
and fraud, especially ill the following
particulars:
First: The Agent, J. J. Saville, is
wholly unfitted for his position, and
guilty of gross frauds upou the In
dians under his charge.
Second: The nnmber of Indians at
this Agency has been systematically
overstated, for purposes which can on
ly result in fraud.
Third: The last issue of annuity
goods, which I witnessed, was a sus
picious transaction, and, in part at
least, fraudulent.
Fourth: The beef cattle given to
the Indians have been very inferior,
owing to the systematic frauds prac
ticed by the agent and boef contract*
ors.
Fifth: The pork issued to the Indians
during my visit was not suitable for,
human food.
Sixth: The flour was very inferior,
And the evidence of fraud in this arti
cle is conclusive.
Seventh: The sugar and coffee is
sued were not good, although better
better than the other supplies.
Eighth: The tobacco observe was
rotten, and of little or no use to the
Indians.
Ninth: In consequence of fraud and
mismanagement, the Indians suffered
greatly during the past winter for
want of food and clothing.
Tenth : The contract for freight from
Cheyenne to Red Cloud Agency wa9
fraudulent, as the true distance is 145
miles, while the contractor was paid
for 212 miles."
Professor Marsh calls the President's
special attention to the evidence of
fraud in regard to the supplying the
Indians with beef, and adds:
"This subject 1 investigated with
much care, as beef is the principal ar
ticle of food of the Sioux Indians, and
the frauds I observed have caused
great suffering among them, as well
as great pecuniartless to the Gov
ernment. The statement I have pre
pared is supported in all its essential
parts by the testimony of officers of
the army, who were with me on my
expedition, or at the Red ("loud Agen
cy. Among these officers are several
personally known to you, and all are
gentlemen of high character. Should
any part of my statement be question
ed, I trust you will allow liiese gen
tlemen to be heard, if the command
ing officers of all putAs near Indiau
agencies, or other equally trustworthy
ane disinterested observers there,
could likewise testify, 1 think it would
be found that I nave but faintly indi
catiKl the corruption pervading Indian
affairs."

A Noble Wife. —During the revo
lution of Poland which followed the
revolution of Thadeus Kosciusko,
many of the truest and best of the sons
of that ill-fated country were forced to
llee fur their lives, forsaking home and
lriends. Of those who had been most
eager for the liberty of Poland, and
cski had two sons in the patriot ranks,
and father and sons had been of those
who had persisted in what the Rus
sians had been pleased to term rebell
ion, and a price had been i$ct upon
their heads. The Archduke Constan
tino was eager to apprehend Michael
Sobieski, and learned that the wife of
the Polish hero was at home in the
Cracow and he waited upon her.
"Madam," speaking politely, for the
lady was beautiful and queenly, "I
think you know where your husband
and sons are residing?" "I know, sir."
"If you tell me where your husband is,
your sons shall be pardoned." "And
shall be safe?" "Yes, Madam, I swear
it. Tell me where your husband is
concealed, and both you and your
sons shall be safe and unharmed."
"Then, Sir," answered the noble wo
man, rising with a dignity sublime,
and laying her hand upon her bosom
"he lies concealed here—in the heart
of his wife—and you will have to
tear this heart out to find him.** Ty
rant as he was, the Archduke admirée
the answer, and the spirit which had
inspired it, and deeming the good will
of such a woman worth securing be
forthwith published a pardon of the
father and sons.

and there is a dull, restless look in
them; the face is bloated; the head,
onco carried erect, is bowed down
when its owner appears upon the
streets, and his step is unsteady and
tottering. Mr. Beecher, it is claimed,
never drinks stimulants, but I saw
him yesterday, and as staggered
along the street I stopped and looked, 1
wandering whether he had been
stricken by the sun, or had taken al
drug. I am not one who delights in
the misfortune of any one, much less
such a man as Henry Ward Beecher,'
but I tell you candidly that I believe
Mr. Beecher will never survive the
summer, no matter what the verdict is.
Gath has written of a probable fit of
apoplexy terminating the career of
this gifted man, but, after seeing him
yesterdaa, I fear that reason is taking
its departure, and that, like Horace
Greely, he will go down to the grave
incapable of recognizing the dear ones
about him. His utteranens last Fri
day night, in which he defied all the
devils in hell to make him stop preach
ing, by some is taken for bravery, but

ble after all. This lucky hero, who
could brave death better than he could
endure pain, owed his cure to a foe*
A quinsy afflicted cardinal had to
thank a monkey for a like good turn.
His physicians had left him to die, and
as he lay, hopelessly waiting for the
end, the dying cardinal saw his ser
vants carrying off everything that
was movable, without being able even
to expostulate with the the thieves.
At length his pet ape came into the
room, and taking the hint from the
provident lackeyes, looked around for
something he could appropriate.
Nothing was left but the cardinal's
hat^ this the ape donned, and, proud
ot his nevel head-gear, indulged in
such odd antics, that his all but dead
master burst into a fit of laughter;
the quinsy broke, and the cardinal re
covered, as much to his own astonish
ment as to the dismay of his plunder
ing servitors.
Thf. man who wished he had a throat
a mile long, and a palate all the way,
might envy the feats performed in the
world of insignificance. Some insects
are endowed with an appetite so keen,
and a digestion so rapid, that they eat
incessantly throughout their lives
They begin when they are born, and
go steadiiy on till they die. Their
existence is a feast without a change
of plates, or a pause between the
courses. Morning, noon and night,
their mouths are full, and an endless
procession of favorite food gratifies
the tin Weary palate. They know not
the names of meals. Breakfast com^
menées with infancy, and their only
after nap is a passage to another state
of existence.
