GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, WASHINGTON, July 117, 1875. REPLY OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AF- FATRS TO THE CHARGES OF PROFESSOR MARSH—THE FULLEST INQUIRY WELCOMED— RESULT OF PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs says that the inquiry into the Red Cloud Agency affairs being in the hands of competent gentlemen for investigation, with instructions to take the freest range of inquiry and find whatever wrong exists, the facts will now undoubtedly be reached, and If they disclose frauds in the service no one can be more interested than himself in getting such facts.

Lawyers Regret the Action of the Foremost Man in the Profession. The letter of Mr. Charles O’Conor to Judge frands have been frequently reportea to him nere- |“Vavis, published in Friday’ HeBaLD, on the de- tofore without receiving attention he considers absolutely false. Charges similar to those now made, quite as serious avd rather more bitter, were made against this agency some eighteen months since, when the Secretary of the In- terior immediately required an investigation through @ commission, of which Bishop Hare Was made chairman, the other members being Rev, 8. D. Hinman, the wel! known misstonary and Sioux interpreter; J. D. Bevier, United States Indian Inspector, and J. H. Smith, President of the Young Men’s Christian Association, of Wash. ington, @ member of the Board of Indian Com- missioners, and sent by that Bourd wnen Mr. Brunot was chairman. This Commission visited the Red Cloud Agency and made a thorough investigation into the charges. Bishop Hare and Mr. Hinman are ofiicers of the Protestant Episcopal church, which, by accepting the agency and nominating the agent, has become morally responsible to the gov- ernment and before the people tor his honest ad- ministration of affairs. It would be monstrous to suppose that such a Commission would desire to cover up any fraud. Their full and unanimous report to the Commissiouer not oniy compictely exonerated Agent Saville from wrong intent, but declares that the charges against the Agent were mean both in their origin and in their spirit. Their report says, ‘Tat some of the aMda- vits which seemed to reflect most upon the character of the agent were such partial state- ments that they amounted to a culpable suppres- sio vert, ana that some of the testimony on which were based the most damaging attacks upon their | administration was the testimony of a well-known deserter and thief, Facts cited to the discredit of the agents, which were gleaned at the agencies during their absence, and whicb they then had no | opportunity to account for, were, when brought to their notice satisfactorily explained. Prac- tices which were irregular were shown to have been unavoldable, in the pecullar circumstances in which these agents were placed, and transactions which at first sight seemed suspicious, and to which a criminal intent had been impnted, were shown to have been characterized by entire good faith, to have been carried on in broad daylight, and, | where not justifiable, to have been, not wrong | doing, but the mistakes of men new in an oMce where peculiarly the incumbent can learn ; only from experience, The Commission indorse | the replies of the agents in all their material | points, ana give, as the result of their prolonged | investigation into the poimts touched upon tin Mr. | Walker's report and the result also of tneir in- tercourse with the agents and their per- | sonal observations of men and things at the agencies, the entire relief of Agents Saville and Howard from the suspicions cast upon tneir onar- ; &cters and their administrations and the earnest | conviction that these gentiemen have performed their duties, during a time of great trial and in | the midst of great embarrassments, wich | energy, honesty and cntire fidelity to the | Interests of the government and the Indians, | and that they deserve the cootidence ana com- mendation of the department. On this report, by persons whose judgment and findings he had a | | rigut to deem competent and every way reliable, | the Commissioner has acted, Respecting the | Paxton contract for beet at the Red Cloud Agency, | which the Commissioner is charged to have | | fraudulently made in March last, he states that it { was made by him in strict conformity with law, | | and as the records abundantly snow, on the ad- | | vice and recommendation of the Board of Indian i Commissioners, alter carctul inquiry by that Board | into the facts and necessities of the case. As to | the other and indefinite charges of traud or con- nivance with wrong-doing in any way on his part, Commissioner Smith makes the most positive and comprehensive deniul, and says he desires nothing 80 much just mow as the severest scrutiny ef his oMcial acis by falr-minded | men. Respecting the charge aguinst Secretary | Delano of complicity with srands at Red Cloud Agency, the Commissioner says that it is but the simplist act Of fairness for him to state that ne | has no knowledge Of any such compilcity on the part of that officer, and knows of nothing tending to show it. That, on tue contrary, 80 far 4s he knows the action or the Secretary, alt matters pertaining to Rea Cloud Agency during the past year have been | the ordinary offictal routine ‘action of tae gepart- ment upon matters submitted by the Indian ; Office, generally approving the suggestions of tne , Commissioner, aud never in any way dictating or even making suggestions as to purchases or con- | | tracts, or pecumiary transactions of any sort. | ORDEX OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL AS TO !

The inter- views with well known lawyers which are sub- joined give, from among the large number ob- tained, an idea of the drift of popular sentiment among tho members of the New York Bar. Many of the members of the legal profession, of course, declined to give their opinion, partly from that Bative modesty which seems to be peculiar to the New York lawyer, and partly from their natural aversion to taking sides against either of the dis- tinguished contestants, while others came out openly with their views, such as they were. VIEWS OF MR, JOSEPH H. CHOATR. One of the frankest and most straigntforward lawyers in New York is Mr. Josep H. Unoate, who, although quite a young mau, occupies the Prominent position of President of the Union League Club. Mr. Choate’s opinion, as will be seen from the conversation detailed below, sus- tains the Oourt of Appeals, and, while he recog- nizes the pre-eminent qualities of Mr. O’Conor, deprecates such criticism as be indulged in. Tne following is the substance of the interview held with him yesterday :— RePorTER—Mr. Choate, will you Kindly tell me What you think of Mr. O’Conor’s letter in the HERALD ? Mr. CHoaTE—I think the Judgment of the Court of Appeais in the Tweed case was right and in strict accordance with the law. REPORTER—In your opinion, 1t was not open to criticism or censure in any way? Mr. CHoaTr—Well, every opinion ts open to criticism from one point of view or another, but I don’t think 1t is the function of inferior judges or lawyers to pronounce it, RerorreR—What mode of expressing such a criticism would you suggest? AVERSE TO NEWSPAPER LITIGATION. Mr. Cuoare—Well, 1 don's like to see litigation carried on in the newspapers. The Court of Ap- peals is our bighest Court, isn’t it? Well, irit ts its opinions must be respected, for they are final; they are law. Revorrer—Jadge Davis still maintains that his cumulative sentence was lawful, Mr. CHoaTE—Judge Davis is an exceedingly high-minded, honest and able judge, and he w: 10 thoroughly satisfied that he was right that he can’t change bis mind even now whea he js better instructed. REPORTER—Do you thing the Court of Appeals is an able tribunal? Mr. CHOATE—! think the Court of Appeals en- Joys the full confidence of the people of this city and this State, and that it cannot be in any way impaired by any newspaper controversy, ReroRTER—Has cumulative punishment never been known beiore in this State, Mr. Choate? Mr. Cuoate—I nave given but little attention to the subject, but it makes no difference whether it has been or not; the Judgment of the Court of Appeals settles the matter as far as this State is concerned, Reronter—How about the other question, as to the form of writ under which she review of the case should have been neld? THE JUDICIARY MUST BE SUSTAINED. Mr. CuoaTR—That is & Much more debatable point than the other; but you must excuse me from giving my opinion, as Ihave given no time to ir (with emphasis), All I desire to say ts that F am in favor of accepting the decisions of the Court of last resort, 1 don’t make any reflections on Judge Davis; on the contrary, 1 think he is one ef the best judges in this State. ButI be- lieve we all ouglt to do all we can to sustain the judiciary. RePornsreR—W bat do you think of the himt ata possible impeachment of the Judges of the Court of Appeals ? Mr. Cooare—Oh, I don’t think that Mr. O'Conor (meant that suggestion serlousiy— (smiling) —{ think he used the Janguage only in a Pickwickian sonse. terorTeER—Is there any ground on which they could ve impeached ? Mr. CHOATE—Not the remotest. The Judges of tnat Court are all first rate men and the Court is equal to any in the country. RerorTer—DVo you thitik the opinion of the Court of Appeals is sustained by the majority of the Bar? Mr. CHOATE—Undonbtedly, with perhaps a few exceptions. defer to the Opinion of the Court of last resort in the State, f This ended the interview, and Mr. Cheate hur- ried away to his residence in the country, EDWARD T, BARTLETT'S OPINION. Mr. Edward T. Bartlett, of Bell, Bartiett & Wil- son, expressed opinions very simtlar to those of | Mr. Choate, but somewhai stronger, in condemna- tion of Mr. O'Uonor. “1 think,? said he, “that the Court of Appeals gives us the correct law. Sach cuilateral attacks upen the highest Court of the State must always be in bad taste. Mr, Charies O-Conor’s abilities are so prominent, and bis opinions so generally Tespected by the Bar, that I must say thatl was surprised to read wis jetter.”” RerorTeR—Mr, Bartlett, then you think cumu- lative punishment entirely inadmissible ? Mr. BanvLert—The jadgmenct of tae Court of Appeals is law—there 1s no doaot about that. Laymen as well as lawyers can understand that wiien @ man is tried for several crimes on one in- dictment, aod then, on conviction, sentenced ior unities of defence Which he would enjoy 1 he had a separate trial for each offence. ReronreR—W hat is your opinion of the Court of Appeals? FHS COURT OF APPEALS MUST BR RESPECTED, Mr. BanriuiT—L twink it 18 composed of able and uprignt judges, We are bound to have a Court of last resort, and bound to defer to its opinions, and any attacks apon teat Court by any member of the Bar—be ever #0 distinguisheq— are entirely out of order. Rerornrek—Wilt the public net keenly regret this fatinre of justice? Mr. BarvLerr—Undoubtedly. I heartily with bers to justice, rememoer that the O p at priueiples Only and pot at individual cases, Kwrorren—How do you regard the suggestion about impenching them? Mr. BARTLETY—l don’t Koow that tt is exactly a snggettion of impeachment. I aon’t know what Mr. O% onor really means by the passage you re- jer to. WILLIAM A, BEACH.
