The theory of the bill is under- stood to be in the main that the Congressional grants to the Pacitic railroad company, were upon the trust that the property should be man- aged for the benefit of the security of the Uni- ted States on account of the government bonds and the interest which the United States pay on them, and that the managers of the company have’ not performed the trust, but lave distributedpiarge amountsof assets among them- selves and for their private benefit. The United States egtends that the eourtahave powr to compel these ies to restore the property ob- tained from the company in order that the se- curity of the United States may be unimpaiced ‘This distribution of property among the deten- dants was accomplished, it is claimed, by m-ans of fraudulent contracts in which both =ide= were represented by the same parties. Interesting Letter Chi to sccure a modification of the treaty of 186%, so as to withdraw from the Indians the privile; bunting outside of their reservation, Mr. kim- bil: is directed to proceed at once to the Red Cloud agency and obtain all the inf ion possible as to the temper of the Indians and make all pretiminary preparations for a “talk.” The Red Cloud agency will be removed from its present location. The commission is also in- structed to interview the Crow nation, with a view to carry out the act of March 3, 1873, look- ing to the conveyance to the United Siates o! part of the Crow reservation, which is much larger than the tribe need.

Stanley, which has. been out two summers, will start again from Fort Rice on the 15th of June, with an escort of 2,000 troops to protect them, ana will be mt four months. The following named scientific gen- temen have been invited and will accompany the expedition: Leidy, paleontologist, Penn University; Prof. Leo Lesquereux, geclo- gist, Columbus, Ohio; Prof. Lionel R.

Allen, zoologist, Cambridge, reply to a letter from the latter congratulating the Chief Justice on his recovery from his tirst attack of paralysis in 1570. In his letter Judge Sargent referred to several of the great men ot the country who had recently passed away, and asked: ‘Upon whom shall their mantles fall.” The following letter of the Chief Justice in reply will be read with interest now that he too has passed away: NARRAGANSETT, R.
