I have understood, said I, that Secretary Smith was not in favor of your action. Mr. Blair told me that, when the meeting closed, he and the Secretary of the Interior went away together, and that the latter said to him, if the President carried out that policy, he might count on losing Indiana, sure!

Being informed of the death of John Morgan, he said: Well, I wouldn't crow over anybody's death; but I can take this as resignedly as any dispensation of Providence. The celebrated case of Franklin W. Smith and brother, was one of those which most largely helped to bring military tribunals into public contempt. Those two gentlemen were arrested and kept in confinement, their papers seized, their business destroyed, their reputation damaged, athat the actual record of his decision could never be obtained from the Navy Department. An exact copy being withheld, the following was presented to the Boston Board of Trade as being very nearly the words of the late President:--Whereas, Franklin W. Smith had transactions with the Navy Department to the amount of one million and a quarter of a million of dollars; and whereas, he had the chance to steal a quarter of a million, and was only charged with stealing twenty-two hundred dollarsand t

Smith; I never heard any sum greater than twenty thousand dollars spoken of in the department, excepting by his friends, and they proposed three or four millions. The statement that I had suggested five hundred thousand dollars for him, is untrue. The duties imposed upon me, I have endeavored to fulfil to your satisfaction, and the long-continued investigations and inquiries to which the department has been subjected, by very able and experienced men, has resulted in the complete vindica
