TWO CENTS. The Mentanue War Claims Scandal, HISTORY OF THAT DRAFT FOR $51,000. ‘The Stan of Saturday made the announce- ment that rumors were afloat with reference to the alleged collusion of a clerk in the Trea- sary Department and certain attorneys, by which a draft for $31,000 had been turned over to parties not entitled to recejve it. It is al- leged that sometime since M. insley, desir- of securing an Indian contract, sought the influence of Mrs. Anna Sackett, the mother- in-law of the late Commissioner of Indian At. fairs, Parker. The contract was secured and in addition an ks apap obtained for Ins- ley to proceed with the sand take charge of their distribution. service thas per- formed by Mrs. Sacke' ley paid her in MONTANA WAR CLAIMS to an amount near the sum, $11,900. Some time after the transaction Mrs. Sackett was desirious of purchasing a house, and finally did make a purchase of property in the vicinity of Fairfax Court House, Va., from John T. Webb. A was given to secure de- ferred paymentss which was. su spapant Stee hSntana Ci or tl palod, upon the jam oe eu jaims in the m of Mrs. Sackett or some por- tion of them to Webb. Upon acquiring the claims, Webb filed them with the banking firm of Mesers. Middleton & Co. for coliection. This much to show how Webb became possessed of bis interest. Whether Mr. Insley willingly intended to wrong Webb is not known, but certain it is that at a later day he denied that Mrs. Sackett ever had any interest in the claims. He states upon an vit filed with the Second Controller that at the request of Mrs. Sackett he de- — the youchers with her to purchase a use; that if the that she neither purchased the house nor re- turned the vouchers, according to his request, but refused to do alleging that the: bes act is attorney, E. W. Rice, fo commence legal pro- eacdings Mrs. Sackett, in order to re- cover ant the said vouch- Tepossess ere, but that his attorney informed him that the Treasury Department would be the proper place to settle the matter. To offset the javit, Mrs. Sackett made a verbal statement to the Controller, statiag that she perfoi valuable services {n obtaining the Passage of the law by Congress recognizing the validity of the Montana Indian war claims; her counsel makes the same statement. [n her bebalt and interest it isalso alleged that she rocured an appointment for one of the parties in the Indian department through her son-in- law Col. Parker, at that time the commissioner. To further prove her claim Moses Bissell makes affidavit that he was present when Insley gave Mrs. Sackett the claims, and that they were given absolutely and without reserve. After repeated attempts to amicably settle the difficulties, the case was prosecuted in the Treasury department, and on the 12 dune, 1873, the Controller decided as fo’ “Valuable services of the character alleged is very clear, do not create an obligation whic aeouit wouldenforce. Tue law is plain on th point. As tothe matter of the gift, the evidence is hearsay, and is neither affirmed nor denied by Mrs. Sackett, while a contrary state of facts in the premises is sworn by the other claimant to have existed. Upon the proofs, I am of the opinion that no property in-the claim above de- seri assed from Insley or Black to Mrs. Anna Sackett; that there was simply a delivery in trust of the vouchers to the bailee for a speci fied purpose which was not fulfilled by hi 1 that under these facts and circumstan ne was legally bound to return the vouchers to the bailor, im this case, the claimant, Ins! Under the law, act of March 3, 1873, it is enacte “Thatit shall be the duty ‘Of the proper ac- counting officers of the Treasury to examine and determine the amounts justly due upon the claims for expenses incurred in suppressing In- dian hostilities in the territory of Montaua, * * # * and the sums so found due shall be to the persons severally entitled thereto.” in accordance with the requirements of this statute, I am of the opinion that the person en- tittle to payment of the above vouchers is the claimant, M. H. Insley.” Of course some party had to be disappointed. and Insley & Biack having thus secured a favorable decision, were not long in taking steps tosecure the full amount of their claim, $31,000, which was paid to them on Friday last, and they immediately left the city. THR CLERK IMPLICATED is Mr. Butterfield, in charge of a division in the Second Controller’s office. Messrs. Middleton & Co. allege that they have reccived informa- tion leading them to believe that he received a valuable consideration for using his influence to further the interests of Insley in securing It is reported that before Dr. |, the Second Controller, left for Europe, he had stated his inability to decide between the claimants, and promised to let the matter rest until the courts should decide own- ership. The attorneys of Webb, acting on the information that Butterfield had been ap hed, had an interview~with Acting Con- Erotter Curtis, who stated that he intended to de- cide their client, but agreed, in presence of Butterfield, the clerk, that the matter should rest until the 16th, to allow an injunction to asked for in the United States courts June 16 a preliminary injunction was served, and copies of the papers asked for. for use in the suit, the promise being renewed that tters should a uld rest without action.

RECOMMERDATIONS OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH AsB0CI ATION. The following circular on cholera, issued br the American Public Health Association, wil! be found to contain timely and valuable sugges- tions: The American Public Health Association, by its executive committee, submits the following memorandum respecting the most available means for arresting and preventing the fata’ prevalence of Asiatic cholera or malignant cholera in this country: The prevalence of this disease at several places in the Mississippi valley is undisputed. Its pro- gress trom New Orleans to Memphis and Nash- ville has been rapid, and is significant of its on ward tendency. That it is being propagated, as in former visitations, by the excremental discharges of persons affected by the choleraic ison, aided by local causes, is as true DOW as in the former visitations. To combat and arrest the progress, and pre- vent the épidemle prevalence of this scoarge of sanitary negligence, Its dd"town should promptly resort to the most effectual puritica- tion, and the Bt means of disinfection, and that this sanitary cleansing and prepara: ton should, as faras possible, be undertaken before any cases of cholera occur; and that In the presence of isease, these sanitary duties should be toned in every household, and throughout the entire district. Experience has prove that the best way to prevent both pesti- lence and panic is to know and prepare for the danger. Itis the only way to deal successfully with cholera. SANITARY CLEANSING. The local conditions that chiefly promote the outbreaks and propagation of cholera are : 1. Neglected privies. 2. Filth-sodden grounds. 3. Foul cellars and filthy or badly-drained surroundings of vostaee fo 4. Foul and obstructed house-drains. 5. Decaying and putrescent materials, whether animal or vegetable. Pi ——— = and uncleansed dwel- apartments. "These localizing causes of cholera should be promptly and very thoroughly removed before Prcans of the disease appears in the town ordis- trict; and if any sources of putrescence or of excessive moisture remain, even these should be controlled by the proper cleansing and dis- infection. ‘Thorough scavenging and surface drainage, h the application at the same time of quick- J coal-tar, or crude carbolic acid; white, Washing with fresh quick-lime; the cleansing and thorough drying and ventilation of cellars, basements, chambers, and closets, and daily care to cleanse, flush, ventilate, and purify the sources of defilement about all inhabited prea ises, will afford almost complete protection it suitable care is taken of PERSONAL HEALTH. ‘The security of personal health requires pure drinking water, fresh and substantial food, ter and the needed rest and bathing of ISINFECTION AND DISIN FECTANTS. ‘The principles relating to disinfection as a means of destroying the propagating or infec- tions cause of cholera—the “‘cholerg contagium" are readily understood, and may beso explained toany family that the household may insure its own immunity against the introduction and spread of the disease. For popular use we ap- pend a brief statement of these principles at the end of this circular; and we respectfully recom- mend that the statement and the following schedule of rules and meviods be given to the p-ess, and toall principals of schools, superin- tcndcuts of places of public resorc, railroad depots. ferries, hotels, and public institutions; and to the masters ef ships and steamboats, and the conductors of passenger trains throughout this continent; believing, as we do, that, by the timely application of these measures, the preva- lence of cholera may be prevented. RULES AND METHODS OF DISINFECTION. For privies, water-closets, drains and sewers— eight or ten pounds of sulphate of iron (copper - as) dissolved in five or six gallons of water,with half pint of crude carbolic acid added to the so- lution and briskly stirred, makes the cheapest and best disinfecting fluid for common use, It can be procured in every town and by any fam- ily, and if the carbolic acid ts not at hand the solution of copperas may be used without it. To prevent privies and water-closets from becoming infected or offensive—Pour a pint of this stiongeolution into every water-closet pan or privy-seat once or twice & day. ‘o disinfect masses of filth, privy-vauits, sewers and drains—Gradually pour in this so- lution until {t reaches and disinfects all the fou! material. For the chamber- vessels used by the sick, and for the disinfection of ground upon winch any excremental matter has been cast away, for disinfecting extensive masses or surfaces of putrescent materials, and for drains, sewers and ditches, the “dead ofl” of coal-tar or coal-tar iteeif ie’ available; coal-tar may be used ada disinfecting paint upon the walls of cellars, stables, and open drains. Quicklime is used as an absorbent and dryer upon such walls and in damp places, and whitewashing with it should be practiced m common tenements, factories, basements, clos- ets and garrets. To disinfect the clothing deiiled in any man- ner by excremental matters from the sick, throw all such articles immediately into boiling water, and continue the boiling tor half an hour,or place them in a solution, covered, made as follows: 1 pound of sulphate of zinc. 6 or 8 gallonsof water, to which add 2 or3 ounces of pure, ae carbolic aci Keep the soiled articles saturated until they can be boiled. If the acid is not at hand use the zinc water alone. Apartments, bedding, and upholstery that have been used by the sick with cholera, diar- rhea, should be fumigated bythe burning of several pounds of brimstone (sulphur) upon a defended iron pan, with the tightly shut te several hours, under @ physician’s direc- ions. PRINCIPLES AND DUTIES TO BE TAUGHT. First. That h cleanliness, domestic and civic, and an abundant supply ef pur water, are an essential means of preventin cholera in any household, when the disease i near. * Second. That general cleansing, scavenging, and disinfection should be to in every city and town before cholera makes its appear- ance, and that wherever it does sepest, that house and the exposed premises should be kept constantly disinfected. Third. That in the words of the chief medical officer of Great Britain, + 1t appears to be char- acteristic of chol not only of the disease in its developed and alarming form, but equally of the slightest —— which the expidemis The Death of Captain Hall.

THE OFFICERS DID NOT AGREE VERY WELL. Peter Johnson, seaman, a native of Den- mark, testified that he had no reason to believe Captain Hall died trom any other natural causes. He bad never heard anybody say he been poisoned. He used to say someboly going to sheot him, but this was when he was not in bisright senses. He did not know saytiang about any difficulty aboard the ship, but heard the officers aft did not very well. He had seen Captain Buddington when he had a little too mach, but could not see it on the others, The — the ship was lost, Capt. RetSington was right; there was then no liquor on the ship. WHAT BALL BAID TO THE COOK. William Jackson, the cook, a native of New York, said Hall accused the people of poison- ing him. He did not call by name, but would int towards Dr. Bessels and say, That man med me.” After he became very bad, he hought everybody was trying to poison him. It was said he was out of his head. He thought | witness was going to shoot him. He hed no | idea but that Halidied a natural death; he had | no reason for believing to the contrary.
