French says: “Greater progress has been made in the compiiation of a complete record of pay ments to officers tian in any previous year, One hundred and forty-three ‘cases of double yinents, ranging from $50 to $1,450, have been ‘ought to light and proper steps taken to re- cover the money wrongfully drawn. The ut that will be ultimately collected in case of double payments will more than reimburse the United States for the expense incurred by this work. Before the division for the investi- gation of fraud there have been 7,485. case ;, 4,367 of which have been partially investigated, and 316 finally disposed of, leaving 6,769 now on hand for further inquiry and adjudication. The cases under Investigation involve questions of alleged fraud in the preparation and prosecu- Uon of Claims; forgery, unlawful withholding ot eee | from claimants, overpayments to offi- cers and enlisted men of the regular and late yolunteer army. The amount recovered by suit and otherwise aggregates $110,939.61, of which $5,775.17, in cases of white soldiers, has been returned to the Treasury by this office; $103,589.05 has been deposited by officers of the freedmen’s branch, adjutant general’s office; $1,401.52 recovered by judgment not yet satisfled, and $173.87 secured to claimants direct from persons unlawfully withholding the same. ‘The cases against the late commissioner of the freedmen’s bureau have been brought to an issue and ju ent rendered against the gov- ernment, so that if any further action is to be had, looking to the relief of the colored le who claim to have been defrauded of their bounty money, Congress must take the initia- uve either by passing upon the merits of indi- vidual cases, by referring them to the Court of Claims, or by making the requisite Srprone: Uon and empowering the oe cers to resettle the claims after it shall have been clearly established that the claimants have neither receipted for nor received their money, nor derived any beretit therefrom, During the Niscal year ending June 30, 1878, 4,983 more claims and accounts were presented to this office for examination and settlement, and 3,863 more settlements were made, than in the year ending June 30, 1877.

Walking up and down his private office Mar- shal Frederick Douglass talked freely to a Star reporter this morning. He said: “The attitude of President Hayes in respet to the southern policy, implied in his present effort to protect all citizens alike in the exercise of the right of suffrage in South Carolina, Lou- isiana and elsewhere, does not surprise ine.

The differences between the Treasury officials and the District Commissioners, as to the con- struction of the law in relation to the powers and functions of the latter, have not yet been sited. The main point at issue ts that the Treasury Officials take the ground that the District Government is merely a bureau of the Treasury department, and ‘that. the, District Commissioners are disbursing officers merely, while the Commissioners hold that thelr duties are ministerial, and that if there Is any dis- buosing officer in the District Government, it is the District auditor, who, although he does not. have custody of the funds of the District, yet he draws all warrants, which are certified by the Commissioners on'vouchers. THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS HOLD that in reality the U.S. Treasurer {s the dis- bursing officer for the District, and that such Was the intention of the framers of the law. The principal purpose of the law was to make the U. S. Treasury a depository for District rev- enues Instead of having them farmed around among irresponsible banks of the District, and that the Commissioners were to draw upon such tunds in the hands of the Treasurer through the proper forms and safe-guards, which they claim they have done. A requisition of $600,000 recen: ly made upon the Treasurer, the first controll refused to honor on the ground that the vouci- ers had not been properly rendered for the la: quarter, and the c] fe was made by the con- troller that the books in the Cominissioners’ oftice were kept in such a manner it Impossible for them to turn! statement the Commissioners entirely groundless, ind an Ve ee of t books by any expert from the Treasury depar ment is invited on their part. : Commissfoners forwarded the ‘vouchers asked for, amounting to nearly as much as the requi- sition. It is not improbable the Commissioners may appeal to the President fora reference of the disputed points of law to the Attorney Gen- eral for his opinion. ‘The question as to_honor- ing the requisition by the Treasurer 13 still open, and the Commissioners are doing all in their Foner +o adjust it, so that there may be no dead-tock. THE-DEAD LOCK WILL PROBABLY BE OVER TO- MORROW. The accounts and accompanying vouchers of the District Commisstoners were handed over to First Auditor Reynolds this morning. All haste patie with ‘a proper examination of them 18 being made. It is thought that the Work will be finished to-day, and that the Dis- trict Commissioners can draw money from the Treasury to-morrow.

Among them that of Lieutenant General Sheri- lan will, he says, attract the first notice. T: this report he invites close study. His com mand embraces eight of the ten regiments of cavalry and elghteen of the twent ents of infantry which comprises the enure army; and althouzh he states this force to b+ entitély inadequate to perform the duties re- quired, yet fis impossible further to reinforce him without stripping the ing other territories Subjected to'the same dan- gers which he so graphically describes in his own. ‘The troops now subject to ils eommant comprise two-thirds of the effective foree of the whole army, and his territorial command ex tends from the British line on the north to the mouth of the Rt age of 1,500 mile ALL BE DONE WITH EAT CHANGE IN T IN FIFTY YEARS, neral Sheridan well deseribes, this rsa nh tten ye. more radi than any Ise space on the carurs surface during any pre- vious tifty years.

The reports of Generals MeDowell, Hoy i ition of affairs in bordering on @he P: the states and territori citic ocean, There past thirty y families on that Indian wars on @ Ia concert of action. Perces war of 1877, : this summer, show how even 5 of Indians dida large amount of damaze and caused great consternation. As a general rule the Pacitic coast Indians did not originally depend for food so much on game as on fish, and here the inroads of civilization, marked by the establishment of _fish- erjes on the largest scale on the lowe Columbia are tast euiting off the supply of sal- mon and fish, Unless suitable regulations are adopted, the salmon will become extinct and the Indians driven to stealing and consequent war with the settlers. The settlers of Oregon and Washington territory seem apprehensive of war on the part of the Umatillas and the river indians near the Spokane, and do not seem to understand that the army has no contro! of them, or any right to interfere except after os- jes are actually begun. Every precaution s been and will be taken to insure peace, but the whites should not trespass on the Umatiila reservation or provoke the Indians on the Upper Columbia, already made restless by their short supply of Saknon. By mutual forbearance alone can peace be maintained in that quarter, 18 NOT ONE, BUT MANY, r lurking from simi- and Maricopas hove ivators of the vailey irrigated by large Hla river; but receauly ers have gone zbove them and turned the whole of the water of the Gtla on their own fields. Here, too, the army is powerless; and if war and collision result, on the army falls the danger and labor. He therefore repeats that the Indian problem ts not a single problem. but many; as many almost as there are tribes. Measures which would be wise in one instance would be folly in another, and whatever depart- ment of the government is charzed with it must be armed not only with force, but large discre- Mon and authority to furnish food in emergen- cles. IN THE MILITARY DIVISION OF THE ATLANTIC, Gen, Hancock commanding, there are four regi- ments of artillery and three of infantry, gating 395 officers and 3,1ss men. One of these regiments of infantry will probably have to go to the frontier in the spring. It would be well if theré could be held at points like Atlanta, Leavenworth, St. Paul and Omaha in rota- ‘tion a full by eae of infantry or cavalry for instructio! uut_ hitherto this has been imprac- tcable. Gen. Sherman doubts the wisdom of elena prey ing in advance, as recom- mended by Gen. Hancock, forts and camps in ‘the south against yellow fever. The artillery school at Fort Monroe is kept upon a high standard and is fast becoming a “post graduate” course for officers. WEST POINT. Gen. Sherman concurs in the recommendation Of Gen. Schofield that the September appoint- ments to West Point be discontinued, and fur- ther suggests that the new cadets be examined by the academic board early in June, and that no cadet be examined or admitted after the 1st of July.
