HAMMOND'S ILLNESS AND CONFESSION. Yesterday aiternoon Indian Commissioner Hayt received the following from Secretary Schurz: “WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25, 1850.—Hon. E. A. Bayt, Commissioner of Indian Affairs—Sir: It has become my duty to inform you that the public interest demands a change in the com- missionership of Indian affairs, and that your further services a office are dispensed with. Very respectfully, a C. Scuurz, Secretary.” It will be remembered ba our frees oe charges against Commissioner Ha: : referred by Gen. Fisk before the board of In- Sian Commissioners when that body was in ses sion here some time ago. ONE OF THE CHARGES AGAINST MR.

He ‘ted. however, in making his confession e Secretary Schurz and the investigating committee. The investigating board was Mr. Barstow, president of the board of Indian commissioners; Win.

Smiley have since continued the ‘commissioner Hayt left for All along during the in- igation Commissioner Hayt acted in a very peculiar way. He refused to be questioned without the presence of counsel, and withheld from Secretary Schurz infor fon that was asked of him. Yesterday afternoon the Secre- tary saw the President and afterwards wrote the above note of dismissal. MISSTATEMENTS CORRECTED. ‘The statements witch appear in print this morning are in points incorrect, especially as to the action upon Mr. Hayt’s case in conse- quence of the confesston by General Hammond, Secretary Schurz did not see General Hammond at all yesterday, and was not informed that he bad made any confession. He was told only that General Hammond was ill, and desired to come before the committee again as soon as he was able to do so. Any statement that General Hammond made didn’t come to the Secretary’s knowledge, and therefore the letter ad- dressed to Mr. Hayt by the Secretary could not have been written in consequence of it. Neither is it true that Mr. Lockwood oc any other official of the Interior department has™ been put in charge of the Indian bureau. That bureau is in charge of the chief clerk, as acting commissioner, until the appointment’ of a new commissioner. Mr. Lockwocd has had absolutely no connection with the Hayt case, and could not have been assigned to the charge of the bureau had such action ever been contemnlntc as under the law no officer can be so assigned exeept he be commissioned as such by the Pres!- dent and confirmed by the Senate, as provided by section 179, Revised Statutes, WH SECRETARY SCHURZ SAYS. ‘Tne Stak reporter this morning asked Secre- tary Schurz ff Mr. Hayt could be finally re- moved from his office without the action of the Senate upon the nomination of his successor. The Secretary replied: ‘No. The letter ad- dressed to the commissioner was intended prin- cipally to emphasize the refusal to accept a re- signation in the usual form as offered and accepted in ordinary cases. It was drafted in the presence of the President, purely for the purpose stated, and also to signify io Mr. Hayt that his continuance in the control of Indian affairs until the confirmation of his successor, was not desired. There was certainly no in* tention to assume any of the powers which belong to the Senate, under the tenure of office act.” : vided strictly upon part opposition of the majority (democ!

EDUCATION OF COLORED P£orLE.—At the meet- ing yesterday of the House committee on edu- cation and labor representatives of some fifteen colored schools and colleges urged the claims of their respective institutions toa share of the fund for unclaimed pay and bounty of colored soldiers, for the distribution of which several bills are now pending before the committee. No decision has yet. been reached, and the matter will be further considered at the next meeting on Saturday. ANTHONY COMSTOCK WANTED AS A WITNESS.— The House committee on post offices and post roads, at their meeting yesterday, discussed the bill introduced by Representative Money, “de- claring certain kinds of matter unmailable, and defining the duties of the Postmaster General in connection therewith.” After adopting a resolution inviting Anthony Comstock, of New York, to appear before them and give hi on the subject, further consideration was post- poned until a future meeting of the committee. THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL SocreTy.—The House committee on agriculture gave a hearing yesterday on the memorial presented to Con- gress some days since by the American Agri cultural S: ng for an act of-incorpo- y representert before the president, John Merryman, of solonel Sprague, of Vermont, N. M. Curtis, of New York, Colonel W 8. King, of Minnesota, J. T. Henderson, of Geor- gia, Robert beverly, of Virginia, and A. L. Ken- hedy, of Pennsylvania, directors. A sub-com- mitiée of the agricultural committee, consisting of Representatives Steele, Hatch and McGowan, was appointed to consider and report the mat- ter. The delegation subsequently appeared be- fore the Senate agricultural committee in sup- port of their appeal for a national charter. THE INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS BILL. — The WAAT GEN. HAMMOND SAYS NOW. Secretary Schurz was informed this morning by the meinbers of the investigating committee that Gen. Hammond expressed a great desire to modify his testimony in regard to the letter that vad been pronounced by him a forgery, but was prevented from doing so until he could meet the members of the committee in his room. when he handed them a paper in which he stated that on reflection he was satistied that he had written the letter. There were some circumstances about the date and eepeerance of the letter that: attirst lead him to think it was a forgery. Gen. Hammond dces not, howe make any ma- terial modification of his testimony. ‘The investigating committee have made no report to the secretary, but are still at work. They will keep at it for a few days yet and will then prepare a report. Gen. Hammond 1s very ill to-day and will see no one. It is stated that the board are findin other people that will THE HEARING ON THE SUGAR QUESTION was continued this morning before the ways and means committee of the House. Henry A. Brown who was before the committee yesterday, concjuded his statement. He was in favor of allowing the Secretary of the Treasury to em- ploy polarization, which discovers immediately the market value of sugar. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury French made a statement as to the reasons which impelled the Secretary to issue the orders in regard to the appraisement Be — which kaye caused so much com- plaint. NAVAL ORDERS.—Passed Assistant Paymaster Jobn W. Jordan to duty at Boston, Mass.; Act- ing Sallmaker M. W. Watkinsto the Vandalia, completed the Indian appropriation bill this morning, and will probably have it in shape to report to-morrow. THE UTE INVESTIGATION.—Governor Pitkin, of Colorado, resumed his testimony before the House committee on Indian affairs this morn- | ing. He related incidents of his interview with Jack and other Indians, going to show that Ouray had gradually lost’ his iniluence over the younger Utes, and that a feeling of disaffection ind a war spirit had for some time past been gaining the ascendancy with them. He sald that the settlers of Routt county had, previous tothe Thornburgh fight, known that the In- dians would attack the troops at or near Bear river, and that the general opinion among the peopie of Colorado Was that the outbreak was premeditated on the part of the Utes. Gov. Pitkin did not testify yesterday, ud- Usbed, that the Utes desired, if possible, to drive out the whites from Colorado, but that they did middle parks of that state, and had been en- deavoring for years to do s THE SaNDWichH Istanps.—Mr. Morton, U.S. consul at Honolulu, in his dispatch to the Department of State, dated November 25, 1879, presents an extended report of the trade of the Sandwich Islands. There has been a marked improvement under the reciprocity treaty with the United States.
