Mr. Morrcll remarked that as the investigation would
not be secret he could not understand the objection to
Eublicity. The testimony wouli be disclosed and it was

Tbe Secretary of War to-day sent a communica
tion to the House, enclosing a communication from
the Commissioner of the Freedmen'a Bureau rela
tive to the omission on the part of the late Congress

ors (luring the fiscal year ending 1S72, and asking
that tbe appropriation nemaae. xne war depart
ment also asks for 150,000 to pay for horses and
other property lost or destroyed in the military ser
vice.

cessity of making an appropriation for defraying the
Kxpenaeaer the Jolat CJommlsalea
to make the boundary between the United States
And the British Possessions, from thejLake of the

Tne lotnaos.
The Secretary of the Interior, In a communication
to Congress, Bays the appropriation made ror the
Arapahe, Cheyenne, Apache, Kiowa, and Comanche
Indians, during the second session of the Forty
Hi st Congress, will doubtless be exhausted by the
Rtitti of June next, and tdiould the feeding of tlese
Indians be stopped after tse ensuing July, they will
again scatter to tne plains, oeing coinpeuuu to uo
so to procure ioou.
Hie labor and exoense of locating them where
they now are will have been of no use or pesmanont
i.pnpiit either to the Government or the Indians.
besides, they may commence depredating, whlcS
would result in another war and cost the Govern
ment thousands of dollars, while it wouia not co3t
hundreds to feed them. The Secretary asks two
bundled and fifty thousand dollars fo this purpose.
