Wright, of Waehington, who was formerly an Indian Agent, and agalnst whom indictments were found in tho Oriminal Court lnst March for forging vouchers upon which a numbor of Indian oclaims wore pald Dy tho Interior Dopariment, which cliarges tbo United Btatea Government with prosccuting him unjustly, and implicates Atty.-Gen. Williams and the Booro- tary of tho-Intorior in & echomo toreh him of his property, to satisfy groundless claims. It appears that Atty.-Gen. Williama sent ono A. J. Witliameon, of the Intarlor Department, out hora to have Wright indicted in tho States hia proseculion baving boon doe 60 long that his indictment 1m tho United Btatos Oourt was proventod by tho_statuto of limifation. This waa dona through Col, J, C. Normile, the Circuit Attornoy of tho Criminai Court, and United Stutcs Diss triot Attornoy Patrick was instructod to assist in tho proseoution of tho case, Bubscquently, Patrick sooms to havo suspocted - Col. Normile' fidelity, and wrote a privato lotier to the Attor- ‘noy-General, charging him with incompotency. Being unwilling to allow him (Pat~ rick) to nssume control of tho Gaso, and’ being friendly towards Wright in con- soquonca of the ‘non~reccipt of & retaine er, ho stipulated for one with Wilhamson. Tha phamphlet aleo containg alottor from Willlam= f0n to Atty.-Gon. Williams, in which he pro- poses that the Govornment shell open lotters passing through tho malls, to ascortain if Nore m(lol]u in enrrnnpntndtonnu vi';"k‘u W;lght(nn“gddto employ an sgent to pack the udge PIEMA Court, which lo iutimlfi can Eu epsily dona, Col.
