Srecial Dispateh to The Clicago Tribune, COMMENTS THEREON. ‘Wasmmsoroy, D. C., June 6.—The letter of the President to Senator Jones, defining the reasons which would move him to veto the new Currency bill, if it should be passed by tho two Houses, has been the absorbing theme of dis- cussion among our public men ¢o-day, On all hauds {he manner of the thing is condemned, Mr. Blaine, who has been particularly active in working for a compromise, fecls very sore. The $10 redemption feature of the letter is much ridiculed. It certainly goes far to sustain tho assertion telegraphed you como time since that Richardson_had no policy of any sort, but in all his official actions of this kind was merely oboying the orders of the Commauder-tn-Chief, —Grant. The Republicans are badly burt, and buzz around liks flies in a sugar-hogstiend. THE CONFERENCE COMAMITTEE on the Currency bill bad & meeting to-day. Itis understood that tho President’s letter had no effect on them, and that their report will remain unchanged. —_—— THE INDIAN COMMISSIONERS. WIOLESALE RESIGNATION. Wasnryatos, D. C., June 6.—Felix R. Brunot, Robert Campbell, Nathan Bishop, William E. Dodge, John V. Farwell, and Georgo H. Stuart, the remaining members of the Indian Commis~ sioms originally appointed, have united in s lotter to President Grant and resigned office. After congratulating the President for adherenco to the Indian policy announced in his inaugural address, and expressing the hopo that tho present success of that policy may make it permanent, they say: * While we do not deem it necessary to present all reasons which have decided us to resign, we may say that, should Congress continuo the Board of Indian Gommis- sioners, a8 indicated in the Indisn appropriation bill which has already passed the House of Rep- resentatives, viz: *with all the duties imposed by existing laws,' aud requiring in regard to the examination of accounts, contracts and vouchers that ‘all such examinations snd duties shall heroaftor bo performed in the City of Washiogton,” we could not nccept duty,— first, becauso under the existing laws, tho over- ruling of the decision of Boards by the Interior Department would froguently render the labor of examiniog and deciding upon accounts and vouchers as uscless a8 it 18 arduous and voxa- tious; and, second, becanse none of us can re- move to Washington to perform the duty. Experience has shown that tho Board of Indian Commissioners, clothed with the proper author- ity and acting in co-operstion with tbe Depart- ment of tho Interior, but not under its direction or control, can hardly maintain barmonious relations with that department. On the other hand » Board eo constituted and under the influence or control of the Interior or Indian Department would be a comparatively uselees appendago to the service.” . The letter is closed by tho expression of tho conviction of the capacity of the Indians to ro- ceivoall civilization necessary for the welfare and safoty of the frotier sottlements, and all Christianization needful to their salvatiou.

THE ARMY BILL. ‘WaismrNGrox, June 6.—The Committeo of Conference on tho Army Appropriation bill has agreed to report to-day. The principal canso of disagreement between tho House and Senate was tho provision adopted by the House transferring to tho Southern Claims Commission the sottle- ment of sl claims of citizens of loyal States now pending iu the Quartermaster and Commis- sary Departments, or that may hereafter be pro- sented. Tho Senate struck out this provision, and the Conference Committee unanimously rec- ommend that tho House concur intho Senate’s action. The Conferenco recommend that the Sennte recede from its disagreement to the House provision_ forbidding the purchase of pew army clothing until tho stock now on band be exhausted ; al¢o that the House concar in the Senate amendment appropriating £50,000 for the construction of a_muitary post on the porth fork of the Loupe River, Nebraska. The Committee also recommend the adoption of a provision that all persons in the employment of the Government ehall be allowed necesury trav- cling expensos, aod thus cat off all allowances for ‘miloage.

Ar. BENER, from the Committes on Expendi- taresin the Department of Justice, made & ro- port in regard to the expenses, disbursements, and general management of tho West Judicial District of Arkansas since its reorganization in 1871 The testimony taken covors 300 printed pages. The Committoe finds that the expendi- tures have boen extraordinarily large, and are Dot in all cases supported by appropriate vouch- ers. For the year cuding June 30, 1871, the dis- bursements of the Marshal, William A Britton, wero $137.958 ; next year, Logan H. Roots be. ing i they reached the extraordinary figuro of $321,653, and tho mpext yesr, Britton being Marshal for most of the torm, they foll to 3264447, making a total of 824,058 for thres years, or, including pay- ments to clerks, District Attorneys and Commis- sioners, about three-quarters of a million of dol lars. The Committeo had not boen able to dis cover any suflicient explanation for these very largo oxpenditures, and agreed that there was & most lamentable state of morals among the Court officials in that District. As to the §udge of the District, William Story, the Committes #nys that the records of his Court show that p: ties have been bailed after corviction for capital offenses, and while awaiting sentence, and while motions were pending for new trials, which wero never acted on; that notwithstanding the requiroments of the law that he shall exam- ine and epprove the accounts current of the Marshal before allowing the same, he has signed, at least in one instance, a blank account current which was filled up by the Marshal for 82,000, the same being allowed and paid at the Treasary. His explanation before tho Committee is charac- taizod a8 lame, disconnected, and unsatisfac- tory. The judgment of the Commuttee is that tho great measure of reform needod for the Western District of Arkaneas is the abolition of the district itself and its annexation to the East- ern District, 8o thero shall be but cne district and ono Judge for the territory now embraced in both districts. In order to form a judgment as to the oxpenditures, the Commitiee contrasts them with tho judicial expenscs for the whole State beforo the War, which wero: In 1858, $25.- 000; iu 1859, $19,000; nud in 1860, only 216,000, The Commiztee believes that with the abolition of the district and such legislation as they recom- inend for the proper examination, recordation, and tranwmission of acts in that and other judicial districts of the United Btates, every door to fraud will be closed, and the administration of justice can be more successfully maintained in the territory now comprising the Western District than at prescat. They therefore unhositatingly recom- mend tho abolishment of tho present Western District, the annexation of its territory and transfer of its business to the Eastern District, and that the whole district 88 thus reforme shall hereafter be known and called the District of Kansas, with one Judge, one District Attorney, and one Marshal. The House soon afterwafd adjourned. LUMBER. Estimates of the Scason’s Crop in Michigan.
