Mr. William Weish has written another letter to Prof. Marsh, maiuly intended to re- pel the charge made by Secretary Delano that “if any frauds have been_perpetratal at the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies dhe responsibility rests with the church that nominated the agents.” Mr. Welsh sets forth that soon after the nurc.; got full control of the agencies, it was ascertained that their agents were in. many instances approached with bribes and prom- ises of reward to do acts which would prove diseieditable to themselves and the church which selected them. He says :—“T saw let- ters in the havds of agents written in the In- terior depart nent, asking them to favor cer- tain contractors, in direct violation of the terms of the contract, and to the injury of the Indians. * + © By corresponding With each agent I found that they were tam- ered wih and tempted to wrong-doing by he Interior department, or with its by the contractors. Remonstrance produced no perma- some of, evidently becoming demoralizet On the 12th of September, 1573, a cireuiar letter was sent by the secretary of the Mis- sion society of tue Episcopal churcn to each Indian agent then in the service. It called upon them to use inereased diligence in pros- eeuting frauds; to notify the board of mis- sionary agents when any order was received frora & government officer allowing @ con- tractor more favorable terms than were {n- dicated by the contract, that they might know where the responsibility rested, and concluding with the hope that the board should be notified of any matters of interest at the agency to be communicated to the secretary or to Mr. Welsh, of Philadelphia. Mr. Welsh says he also sent to each agent series of questions, that he might compare their reports of the number of Indians, ra- tions furnished, &c., with the vorchers sub- mitted to the board of Indian commission- ers; that the fraudulent contractors, on find- ing their oeeupation well nigh gone, took. as he believed, a copy of this cirenlar'to Seere- tary Delano, and that ne (D.) was already aggravated by learning of irauds and icreg- ularities through Mr. W.’s personal inter course and correspondence with the agents. Oo the 8th of December, 1873, Mr. Delano wrote & letter to the missionary society complaining of ihe issuance of this ctréniar. He objected to ic because as he says: “It im- plies doubts in regard to the official Integrity of the Secretary of the Interior and the Com- missioner of Inchan Affairs in reference to contractors, and that it commands your azents to report anything which may regard as improper on the part of those or other oificers toyoursociety. * * * As head of the department I am to a certain exteat r.- sponsible for the action of all its bureaus. jowever I may feel in regard to my owo persoval rights, T eannot consent that the oiice which I have the honor to fil! shall be treated improperly, or with disrespect or dis- courtesy. To allow the agents of this de- partment to make reposts to the missionary organizations which nominate them, and thus communicate facts withheld from the depertment, would subject me to the cen- sure of failing to maintain that order and discipline in the department which ts due to it; and which ts necessary for the welfare of the service.” Mr. Weish, in criticising the letter, says:— Secretary Delano knew perfectly well that an agent would not dare to address a com- munication to him ou any subject, and cer- tainly not when complataing of the moze in whieh contracts made through his son were iuifilled, or even if reporting that A. H. Wil- der’s agent had asked for blank vouchers. The Secretary knew full well. says Mr. Welsh, that it would require a braver agent then could be hired at fifteen hundred do!lars @ year to beard the commissioner of Indian affairs in his den by telling bim that his orders to receive inferior cattle, and in larger numbers at one time than was required, and to give peculiar facilities to the contractors, Were in Violation of the compact and such as would not be given to any contractor out of the ring. Mr. Welsh mives another letter "yritten by Scevetary Delano, Janoary 22, 1414, .n which 6 says, refer and were $ responsible to’ the government the faithful discharge of all the business connected with their offices, beeaure The consent of ihe government it is per- nitted the religions organizal r names. Again the Secretary says nese Agenis Bre charged with what migat » termed ¢ x ordual duties. Classificd, we duties First. Of a business cuarac” with the discharge are ter, connected necessarily utics to the government tn the gen- anagement of thelr agencie Second. Their duties in the nature of mis- sionary and educational work. It seems to me {pat the first-class of duties are strictly under the administration of the government, and the latter more particularly under the care of the ipissionary organizations who suggest the names of these 2gents.” In conclusion, Mr. Weish says that uniess there is a radical change in tae maxagemeut of the Intertor department, he certainly will remonstrate pretty loudly against the py eutsystem continuing longer than the annval meeting of the board of missions in October next, THE CALIFORNIA DISASTER—A Betier Feeting in San_ Francisco.—The latest dis- pa 8 from San Francico show that the fallnre of the Bank of California has not pro~ duced the serious effect on Pacific coast in- terests that wus feared, and that there is al- ready a reaction from the first shock.

THE CHARLIE ROSS ABDUCTION CASE. Two of the Alleged Abductors Ar- raigued for Trial. PHILADELPHIA, August 30.—This being the day fixed for the trial of Wm. Wester- velt, indicted as a party to the abduction and concealment of the child Charles Brews- ter Ross, the prisoner was brought into the dock, and at 10 o'clock Judge Eleock took bis seat upon the bench. Westervelt is a strongly-built man, heavily bearded, and apparently about forty years oli, aud the only noticeable thing in his appearance ts the pallor which a Close confineinent of four months bas laid uy his face. As the crier arose with the indictment in his hand, Mr. Ford stayed him by remarking to the judge that when this case was last before the court it was on @ rule npon the district attorney to show cause why a bill of particulars shonld pot be furnished. What disposition had been made of that he did not officially know; in fact, his only in- formation on the subject was derivet from the morning papers, and before arrange- ment was made he would like to see from the record, if made up, wuat had been done with thatrule. Mr. Hogart said the information had been received from Judge Pratt that the rule had been discharged. The record was sent for, but the disposition of the rule not appearing on it, the judge ordered the clerk to make up the record. Mr. Ford next read the sugzestion and affidavit of the prisoner of the death of Wm. Mosher alias Wm. Hen- derson, and John Douglass alias Joseph Clark, and the viewing of their dead bodies by him at Bay Ridge, N.Y., on the 1th of December last, and counsel said they were the co-defendants of the prisoner in this in- dietment. Mr. Sheppard informed Mr. Ford that the deceased persons had never been indicted, The suggestion. however, filed. Mr. Ford stated that Westervelt, the prisoner's wife, was jointly indicted with him, having voluniarily come from her residence in New York, now presented herself to this court and requested to be permitted to stand ber trial with ber husband. Mr. Hagert an- nounced that this was the first time Mrs. Westervelt nad been within the jurisdiction cf this court, and she was or would be here. The District Attorney did not know until Mr. Ford appeared with her a few moments prion tohis mentioning her presence here. ‘he only defendant who had been within the custody of thé court was Wm. Wester- velt, and the cause had been pre; 4 with reference to him alone, and the District Attorney was not prepared wo try her. Mr. Brown insis' at as the indictment charged both with a joint offence, and it was not within the power of the district attorney to deny a trial or force a severance. He was informed by bis colleague that the district attor- ney had placed him wnder terms to produce her fer trial, and that officer Should not now be permitted to plead sur- Ee and refuse fdefendant her trial. Mr. heppard corrected Mr. Brown by saying that when he askcd Mr. Ford whether this wemau would come from New York and submit herself be ligne here without the use of a requisition, Mr. Ford declined to promise unjcss told then when she would be wanted for trial. This being the only notice to ber of the intention of the common weaith, he, on his part, declined, and so the matter dropped. Mr. Brown again mAh to the discretion of the court in which it lay to order a Seas or joint trial. The judge said that if this woman had been any time witbin jurisdiction he would order her trial to proceed, but under the present circumstances of the case he would not do so. The prisoners were then arraigned upon the charges of kidnapping, conspiracy to kid- nap, conceal and extort money, to which they pleaded not guilty. The calling of jn- rors and their examination as to the forma. lon of opinions upon the guilt or inaocence of the prisoners were then begun. —_- THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS.
