WasHInoton, Oct, 21, 1800, Astounding Frauds in the Indi: and Land Departmente—Wholesale Swindiing in In- dian Land Scrip. some very interesting developments are looked for at an early day respecting Indian and Land Office irregularities, particularly regarding the haif-breea Indian Chippewa acrip. Under the laws of Congress ‘the Chippewa Iudians of Lake Superior of nalt-breed descent were entitied to eighty acres each of half. breed Indian scrip. The facts, it is alleged, voll snow there were about 4,000 Indians belonging to this band, and less than 400 of them halr- breeds or mixed biood, for whose benefit the scrip Was iseued; that there were 1,200 pieces of scrip, calling for eighty acres of land each, isaued by the Land and Indian offices conjointly, as both act in such matters and are equally responsible. Ir ‘there were but 400 half-breed Indians in this land and 1,200 pieces of scrip issued, what vecame of 800 pieces of scrip, representing 64,000 acres of land, for which there were uo liaif-breed Indian claimants? This iscrip was very valu able, superior to land warrants, it bemg located in either surveyed or unsurveyed jand anywhere on the public domayn of the’United States, ‘This scrip soid from five to ten dollars per, acre. Who @ot the 800 pieces of scrip, the 64,000 acres of land, or the $320,000, the market price of the same? ‘These figures May be wrong, but your correspondent is asgured they are entirely reliable. It is a well known fact that this haif breed Indian scrip has been Jocated by the thousand acres throughout the West- ern States and Territories, On the supposition that the foregoing is true, then not only the hal!-vreed Indians have been credited with more than they claimed, but “Uncle Samuel” bag been cheated out of 64,000 acres of nis farm. The Seizure of the Cuban Privateer—Her Character to be Tested by the Courts— Cubans Incited to Further Exertions. The seizure of the Hornet by the speciai order of the President does not suspend all further test of the true nature of her relations to the neu trality strictly preserved by our government. Notwithstanding the favorable opinion in which the President views the Cuban struggle he proposes an honest exercise of that international obligation which he considers que to Spam as a friendly Power. Jhe posi- tion assumed by this government on the question of the recoguition of the revel government cannot be forgotten, thoggh it is not probable that under cir- cumstances ’of a leas demonstrative character there wouid be much opposition interposed. The case of the Hornet will have a fair chance of vindication under all the technicalities of ue law. The President wiil adhere to his policy, on the general grounds of the national harmony between the United States and Spain. The views of Congress on this subject, to which in the end the Executive would be obliged to submit, is likely to bring the whole matter to a prac- tical solution. Sefior Pimero, of the Cuban Junta, arrived here to-day, Seflor Ruiz is absent in Philadelphia. Pimero declares that the misfortune of the Hornet is not a cause of great grief to the Cubans, They do not regard it as changing their condition in the Jeast, 60 far as fina) success is concerned. 1t will only, he says, spur them on to greater exertions. Redaction of Government Expenses—Man- agement of the Public Debt. ‘The administration is giving a good deal of atteu- tion to the question of thee reduction of the public expenditures and the management of the national debt. The object is to reduce the former still further and put the latter in ashape which will lessen the amount of the principal as weli as the interest. Much has been done towards rcducing the amount of the debt during the few months of Grant’s admin- istration. The intention is to make the sum total Jess next year. The President and the members of the Cabinet are desirous, as soon as possible, to lighten the burdens of taxation, so that at least articles which enter into daily consumption and which may be termed the ‘hecessaries of life shall be entirely free of taxes, {t is not thought expedient, however, that any reduction of the taxes shall be made at the approaching session of Congress, because it would materialiy interfere with the plans of the administration with regard to the management of the debt. 1 learn from the highest authority that tn his forthcoming message to Con- gress the President wil! recommend that the interval Revenue and tarifl laws be left undisturbed for one year. After that time it is believed that the Unances of the ed Will pe in such g shape as to admit of a g nera jetting down of the taxes, luternal ana external. Whether this wil meet with the views of Congress remains to be seen. The President, however, will support bis propositio, with such facts and reasonings it 18 bélteved, will overcome any preconceived opinions that may haye been formed by Congressmen on the subject, fands in the Public Treasury. On the Ist of November $25,846,000 in coin will be required to pay the semi-annual interest on the five-twenty bonds. The Treasury has now on hand ‘abont $84,000,000 in coin, $28,000,000 in coin certi- fcates and about $5,000,000 in currency. After the payment of the draft required for the interest over $58,000,000 will remain on hand, and no more will be required for she payment of imterest until he let of January. Decreased Receipts from Public Revenue. The receipts from customs and internal revenue thus far during this month have not been at large as & corresponding time last month, and it is thought by the Treasury officials that the total at the end of the month wil! show a decrease from voth sources. ‘The expenditures this month, however, have not been very heavy, andthe puplic debt statement to be issued on the lat of November will show a con- alderable decrease iu the total. Reveque Collected in Tazewell County, Hl. Commissioner Delano bas received a letter from Supervisor Bloomfleld, tn [ilinois, showing that ‘Tazewell county, Ill., for the year ending September 20, 1868, paid a revenue tax of $194,000 from all sources, and for the year ending September 20, 1869, pald a tax Of $518,000. During the former year all of the distilleries in Pekin were run most of the time, and the tax for the greater part of that period was two dollara per gallon. During the past year only one distillery was rgn continuously, and it alone paid a tax of $135,000, being more than the whole county paia the previous year. Collectors of internal R Appointed.

The Law Retiring Justices ef the Supreme Court. ‘The faiiure of Justices Nelson and Grier, the two eldest members of the Supreme Court, to aval! them- selves of the act of Congtess permitting them to retire upon thelr salaries, will, itis thuught, result mm the repeal of the act at the next session of Con- gress, It ie ascertained that it was passed mainly for their benefit, as the other members of the court are of an age which would mot necessitate their re- Urement for years to come, The Vacancy in the Supreme Court—Ex-Seo~ retary Stanton a Prominent Candidate. Attorney General Hoar, in conversation with a friend a few days ago, stated that he wae not @ can- didate for the Supreme Bench, and would not take it if offered him. It turns out that Edwin M. Stanton is the most prominent canaidate for any vacancy thi may be necessary, to Mill in the Supreme Court, the President, it is said, is not averse to his appoint- ment. A very large number of letters recommena- ing him have been received from the most prominent lawyers of the country, It may be stated, however, in justice to Mr. Stanton, that he has made no per- sonal effort or application for the position, bat he is strongly urged by his frends aud by emiic t memes bers of the bar.

Afew gentiemen interested in the St. Domingo ‘@unexation are in town seeking audiences with. Grant and Fish and in other ways endeavoring to create a feeling in government circles.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 1869, In the United States Court of Claims the cage of Dougherty, administratrix, against the United States Was argued. The vlaim is for the rent of the Semi- nary Hoapral in Georgetown, D, which was rented in June, 1591, by Quartermaster Camp, at $800 per mouth for such a time as the government chose to vecupy i, At the end of one year the Co, Secretary of War ordered the reat to be reduced to $200, The Quartermaster notified the owner of this reduction, aud the reut was then aad there- after for two years paid at the reduced rate, the owner giving inonthiy receipte in full. ta July, 1864, the Owner applied to tle Secretary to have the rent restored to ), as the rents gene- rally bud riven, Thus wes ressad apd the-goverp- meat coptinued to vccupy and pay at #200, tue owner receipting monthly ti full unt June 1, 1865, when the government suvrence prem paying for @ full month, aud received a receipt in inf, The platntig’s counsel, Mr. Fu en that the origital contract, cal $000 per month, was binding upou (ue goverament tor the whole time, #8 the governutent, uo more than an individual, could arbitrarily clange % contract.

The case has been taken under advisement.

Rev. J. B. Finney, of the Synod of California; Rev. Charles Hageman, of Poughkeepsie; Mr. Hol- brook, of Watertown, and Rev. Messrs. G. W. Lewis and W. ©. Smith, were invited to sit a8 correspond- bg members, after which the roll of delegates was called, and then the minutes of the previous session were read and approved. The Stated Cierk next read congratulatory tele- grams from the synods in session at Rahway, N. J., end at Sing Bing, N.

Appropriate responses were ordered to be sent by telegraph, The Committee on Sunday Schools made its report, In it synods and presbyteries are cautioned to guard against the introduction of unsuitable literature in the schools, It complains that pub- lishers issuing books of fiction baptize them with Sunday school names in order to get for them &@ wider circulation; books that Christian people would hardly allow in their familles, The report of thejcommittee was accepted, and upon a motion for its adoption a discussion ensued, Rey. Mr. LATHROP said that he was glad that there was backbone enough to be found in a committee in the Synod to hand in such a report. Another reverend gentleman said that a revival in Fox river was owing to the fact partially tuat there was no library attached to the church. Another clergyman said, that out of 100 books sent to mis church for the library he sent filty back; they were a stench in the nostril. Remaras were also made relative tothe govern- Ment of Sabbath schools, one member of the Synod suggesting that the Synoa give to pastors full power to act as superintendents de facto, and to be inter- fered with by no superintendent, women, committee or avy one else. Another member, in speaking upon the subject, deplored the fact that atvempvs are everywhere made to divorce the Sabbath school from the Churca, He deprecated Sunday school conventions and asserted that indirectly they asaisted in the divorcement. Another gentleman defended superintendents and thougat that tbe pastors do not visit the Sabbath schools often enough, Mr. SMITH said ne was a superintendent of Sab- bath school and a member of the laity. He did not find fault so much with the books of the library as with the music of the Sabbath school. Some of the words of the music are blasphemous, and Mr. Brad- bury had said that he could procure uo other. In Tegard to 51 1y schopl conventions he said pas- tors were glways expected to be present, and if there is any "ey, way to present Bible truth to the children go that it will stick, superintendents of Sabbath schools wished to kuow it. Another Sabbath school superintendent thought the books of Sabbath school librartes a mess of trash. The schobls are filed up with them. Too many men axes to griqd. The organization of the Sunday school in Dutchess county having been referred to, Kev. Mr. Hutchin- fon, of Sait Point, defended the organization and George H. Brown, eulogizing the action alwa: taken by the latter. He spoke rapidly and with great sigcerity. In relation to the literature of the Sabbath school, a@ member said the schools demand more books than the Church can give. The Church nas done nothing in the way of music Jor the Sunday schools, and it is important that (hat matter should aiso be at- tended to. A motion having been made to recommit report to the committee 1 prevailed. The committee to Whom Was referred the paper of the congregation of Ohio relative so the violation of Sabbath laws reported as follows The committee to whom was referred the ciroular letter from the Congregational Coutereace of Ohio would respect- fully report recommending the adoption of the following me minute, viz.:—That in view af the alarming increuse 0!

Dr. Yeaman, in which it wae stated that the proposed Southern Secretaryship wonld bring the North into closer relationship; it also recommended 4 semi-annual meeting in Ken- tucky In May next. Dr. Wrokorr, in speaking to the motion to adopt, suid that before the war the greatest resources were from the Soyth; but at the commencement of the war the President of the Bible Revision Awsociation, & co-operative soctety, but really guxiliary, issued an edict commanding his people to haye nothing to do with the Bible Union, a4 is Was a Nortuern insti tation. Rey. Mr. Loomts, in approving of the report, sug- gested that every church should be furnished With a number of revised copies of the Scriptures, and Whenever any member received the right hand of fellowship he should also receive a copy of the re- vised version. Rey. Mr. LoRRIMER delivered along address on the necessity of baving the pure word of God sent to the South. He was sure the colored people would not cd receive it with joy but contribute of their means for its support, On motion of Dr. CHApsEY, the word “semi- annual” was strieken out of the report, and ‘a meet- ing” simply leit, so that the meeting in Louisville will not semt-annual. Dr. Chadsey recom mended meetings to be held all over, Deacon HILLMAN, with regard to the remark of the Rev. Mr. Lorrimer, that the colored population would give of their means, said that the freedmen’s banks for sayings were well patronized. In some banks there were over $80,000, and in others over $60,000 were Geposited. ir. LOBRIMER again sald that he believed that the colored race were more liberal than our own, and would contribute so liberally as to astonish the brethren, Several other addresses were made, and the report as amended by Dr. Chadsey was adopted, SOCIAL REFORM, ‘Mr. Albert Brisbane, the agitator of social reterm, delivered one of his characteristic lectares last even- ing at Plimpton Building.

Dedication Ceremonies at Prospect Park— Letters from President Grant and Governor Hoffman—An Eloquent Oration by Rev. Dr. Storrs. ‘ihe bronye etatue of Abraham Lincoin in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, was unvelled and dedicated yester- day with imposing ceremonie: The noble emi- nence from which the imposing figure of the Jamented President looks upon New York and her wide environs was covered by an immense mult- tude; and as the immortal features were revealed and the roar of the cannon rolled across the hills, the scene was one of the most solemn and mnpressive of the age. Distinguished person- ages, wealth, fashion, veterans of, the great war whose glory is inseparable from the Justre of Lincoln's name, and thousands of earnest, patriotic citizens were congregated on the spot to do homage to the illustrious dead, and aii that pomp and eloquence can manifest were offered in dedicating the memorial, Witbin the enclosure about the statue were officers of the army and navy, and just outside the Twenty- third regiment formed a@ glittering lige along the slope. Just above, on the knoll, the artillery was planted, and stretching away on every hand was @ vast concourse of people, eplendid equip- ages and mounted officers in uniform. The platform was occupied by the Park Commissioners, the Committee of the War Fund of Brooklyn, and the orators of the day, and close at hand the band of the Navy Yard pealed forth the national anthem as the sculptor stripped the vetl from the mayestic figure. The statue is of bronze, nine feet in height, mounted upon a massive pedestat of granite, and representing the late lamented Chief Magis- trate a& pointing to the constituuon of the United States, which he holds in his ieft hand. The head is uncovered, and a cloak thrown back from the breast hangs gracefully from the shoulders. The base is very elaborately sculp- tured. There are wreaths on the east and west sides which enclose tne letters ‘0. 8. A.” and “U.S. N."" On the south side is an eagie holding a shield, in the utre Of Which if a female boiding ap axe and sup- ted by a bundle of reeds, with the motto, “en draght maakt maght,” and on the gorth isan eagie with @ brokeo shackle in nis taious, The statue bas been produced by dollar subscrip- tions placed im the hanas of the War Fund Committee of Brooklyn, and Was executed by the sculptor, Mr. HK. Brown. At three o'clock the ceremonies were opened with “Hall, Columbia,’’ by the band, after which Mr. A. A. Low, a8 presiding oMver, delivered an address, ting iv eloquent tecms the virtues of the de- ased President and the motives and means by which che statue was erected, and conciuding as follows:— FELLOW Cirizeys—We have come here to-day by invitation of the War Fund Committee to take parc in the consummation of this long-cherished purpose, to celebrate with appropriate Ceremonies the unveil- lng Of the statue of our late lamented President, Abrauain Lincoln, (The President of the United States, the Governor of the Stave of New York, the Mayor and Common Counch of our city, judges of Ube respective Couris, onicers of the army aad uavy, soldiers and sailors Who shared in the perils aad in the glories of the war, and all who contributed to the erection of this monument have been asked to be present to witness the transtier of this gut of the peopie to the city of their pride, aud, on tle part or the Park Commissioners in whose charge it is to be committed, tue acceptance of this sacred trust. Per- mit me, in concluding these introductory remarks, to associate with (he rich memories of this Dour, and of inis occasion, the ever memorabie words ut tered bf Mr. Lincoln at the close of lis second inau- gurai—the last, { believe, publicly addressed by him to the American people. They wail endure iouger than bronze, however imperishable it seems. Waat better inscription can bg put upon this monument ? With matice towards nona, with charity for ali, with trm- pews in the right, as God gives Us to see the rigut, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and widow and orphan ha just and insiing peace among ourselv The statue was then unvetled while the artillery thundeyed @ uational salute, the multitude cheered and fags foated up to the peak and out upon the strong sea breeve. When the cheering had subsided Mr. J.P. WALLACE, On behalf of tne War Fund Com- mittee, formatly presented the statue. He said he had the honor tw represeat a doable constitnency.

Rev, Dr, SCORRS Was then introduced andhelivered After referring to the solemnity of the event which had called them to- gether he said it was (he first statue of such mate- ria: raised by spontaneous abe from the people to commemorate him in the land which be ruled and anlong the cities whose streets were shrouded at his death. It was a fit occaston of pleasure and pride that the purpose to erect it, which sprang up simul- taneously with the tidings of hls death, had thus been accomplished and that here hencefor ita to stand; on the summit crest of our expanding and beautiful city; gn # spot consecrated more than ninety years since py the patriot blood which then 0 freely and so fruitfully fel; overlooking the nomes and working places of a million and # naif of te Americau peopie; looking out upon t bay, through which pas: large apd rjch a por- tion of the commerce Of He w: im all respects osition a fit one. There was no impro- it an obvious harmony, in placing the memorial of him whom we honor ata poiat where we pass in full view of it, and almost beneath ite very shadow, so often.

He staggered under loads of obligation and of care thas we might after. ward live at ease, and if the burdens which he wearily bore, and bore to the end, had been lightened | by trick or by treachery in him) there had been for us no solid peace ana no secure pledaure. The speaker added that the opie had reared she stacue because they loved Lineoln; they raised it in grateful recognition of his service in sla} immense work which he in a large measure directed and inspired. Lincoln stood as an exponent of What the Amefican life can pro- duce without foreign asstatance. Born in the ham- blest conditions of iife, he represented better than any ovher man who has been eminent tn office tay the native American facuity and train- in & ing. time of intense excitements, when feeling was passionate, and when — anger easily turned to malignity, ne kept his (rank and kindy temper.

THE SEIZURE OF THE CUBA, Full Particulars of the Surrender—Direct Ac tion of the President—Tho Crew Sent Astore and Disbanded. (From the Wilmington (N. C.) Journai, October 20, _ Yesterday morning Deputy Uuited Statee Marsh Ne aud Collector Rumley, With an officer of the reve~ nue cutter, boarded the Cuban steamer Cuba with a writ of libel and demanded the surrender of the stip. Commander Dornin, in charge of the vessel, immediately despatched for Commodore Higgins, who repaired on board, The demand for the surren- der being repeated, Commodore Higgins replied that by order of the President of the United States luis veasel was lying quietly in the narbor awaiting the issue of the trial now pending before the United States Commissioner. He protested in the name of the repubiio of Cuba, of whose navy he was an oMficer, against any molestation on the part of the officers of the government. Upon the oMicer insisting upon the surrender the Commodore refused to surrender to the civil officers, but would obey the orders of the President of the United States or other competent authority coming through the officers of the (hited States Navy. The Deputy Marshal repaired on board of the United States gunboat Frolic, and immediately Lieutenant Pearson, executive officer of the Frolic, proceeded on board of the Cuba and demanded the surrender of the ship by order of the President of the United States, which he exhibited to Commodore Higgins. ‘That oMicer, protesting against the action of the roverniuent in seizing & man of-war belonging to a ‘orelgn Power, surrendered his vessei to Lieutenant Pearson, at the same time handing his sword and surrendering himself and command ae prikonere of war to the United States. The vessel Was turned over into the charge of Marshal Ne@, after placing a guard of some twenty United States marines upon the Cuba. The Marshal gave orders at once to send the crew ashore and dis- band them, Commodore Higgins again remonstra- ted agaist this action. The men were regularly enlisted in the Cuban navy, and the action of the government officers would result in the tota) dis- bandment of the ship’s crew, and would place tt out of the power of the officers to man the ship if she should be discharged by the government, e crew were sent ashore and discharged. The parole given by the oilicers of the Cuba and accepted by the government has been violated by the latter, and we suppose they are now in charge of the Marshal, who becomes reaponsibie for their safekeeping until the hearing before Commieeioner Rutherford is concluded. ‘This action of the President of the United States 1¢ most extraordinary under all the circumstances of the case. By an order the vessel 18 seized and vir- tually confiscated while she is belng tried before the proper tribunal to see if she has even rendered her- self liable to be tried for any violation of law—before, indeed, she had been hela for trial, The disbandmg of the’ crew effects all that Spain could do in her capture, for the officers, if the vessel should be dis- charged, would not be allowed to recruit in a@ port of the United States. This action, of course, disposes of the case of the Cuba before the Commissioner and transiers it to the District Court. ‘The trial of the oflicers will be resumed on Thursday, The turning loose of one hundred saliors and ma- rines, without control and witaout money, in our city, 1s an outrage upon our citizens, aud the Mayor should hold, the people oe to bold, the Marshal responsible for their good behavior. Unies some provision is made for them by the government or city we expect to hear of much troabie. If these meu are citizens of Cuba that goverumeat has been gcosmly outraged; if they are citizens of the United States the goverbment should make provision tor them and not cast them loose to create disturbance or to suffer for the ordinary necessities of life ina strange city.

HEROES Yo Ta® EpiroR OF THE AERALD: We hear so much of the eager zeal of Ouba for liberty that i will scarcely seem credible that between two and three thousand of ber sons at this moment adorn the thoroughfares of New York, are visible at theatres, matinées and operas, and seem to evince as little sense of patriotism as 80 many mon- keys in au Orinoco wilderness. It ig also announced that the neighboring island of Jamaica swarms with well dressed refugees, whom tmportant business doubtless summons away from home, or who perkape find their native climate woo monotonous aud sultry for them. It may be that the Ouban, unlike all other people, has some obscure Tight to have his ising Oo for him, while, remote from peril, he gayly takes his ease, and, like the ved lord who came and held discourse with jarspur, thinks if it were mot for those “vile guos’’ and the pertis which attend meir use he would go aud ve @ sidier.
