INDIAN BLANKETS. Are they of Foreign or American Iffake— An .Interesting Disemision, In the House of Representatives on Satur day, Mr. Burleigh, of Dakota made an elaborate address on the present manage ment of Indian affairs in the Northwest. In the course of his address Mr, Burleigh strongly inveighed against the system of 'purchasing supplies of blankets for the In dians in Europe. He said: Will some gentleman tell me what neces sity there is for sending abroad for the large quantities of blankets, cloths, &e for th.' use of our Indian tribes which are annually imported from England and paid fur gold? Are not American maanfactured blankets and cloths good enough for Indian use? We have to-day, in our own Govern ment storehouses, going to waste, tens of thousan4 of blankets and hundreds of thousands of yards of cloth, all of which are manufactured in our own country fur. Low use of our soldiers and sailors. ,•Would it not be economy, sir, to use these articles now on hand ratherthan to import them from abroad and drain the gold out of the - country to pay for them ? Are not American-madeblankets and cloths goud enough fur American. In dians to Wear? Is not the clothing manu factured for our own brave soldiers good enough for. savages? Where is the wisdom or 'economy of• sending abroad for foreign fabrics to clothe a set of:lndian chiefs, while the officers of our Army are supplied from American looms? Is there a. broader mar gin in dealing with wholesale importing mcrAcints than with American manufac turers? If there' is not; why have tha boasted reformers who now have charge 01 our Indian affairs allowed this system to continue? a system which is so prejudicial to the interests of the country. Why, air the "Bay State" blankets, which are man.. ufacturecl in Massachusetts, are far superior to any English Mackinack blankets_ that' were ever brought across the ocean, and much cheaper. I have recently seen a sample of blankets manufactured in Cali fornia which are superior to those imported, for Indian Use, at a cost of more than thirty per cent. lees in paper than the English blankets cost in gold. The same is true of all the cloths imported for Indian use. One yard of blue cloth. which is manufactured here for the use of, our Army and Navy at a cost of less than one half what the English sewed list cloth costs, is worth for actual use more than two yards of the-imported article. Mr. Kelly.—With the permission of the gentleman, I wish to ask him if he knows whether th department is now purchasing foreign or American blankets for the In dians. Mr. Burleigh.—lf my information is cor rect, and I think it is, our Government has never supplied the Indians with any Attie ricau blankets, unless when there was a short stock of foreign blankets in the mar ket. I believe that it is the invariable ens - torn of the Indian department to import from England the blankets for the use or the Indians. Mr. Kelley.—Does the gentlemen know whether the blankets supplied to the In diana this year are of American or English make? Mr. Burleigh.—l was:told by a wholesale merchant in New York that he had the con tract to furnish the blankets, and that he imported them from Europe. I was also told by another wholesale merchant that when he was in Europe he saw the manu factory where they were made. I have no other knowledge on the subject. Mr. Kelley.—Well,l beg leave to say that when proposals for furnishing these blank ets were advertised for, Mr. John Dobson, of Philadelphia, whoseblankets enjoy a just pre-eminence in our markets, put in a bid or bids; that the contract was grien to an other; that Mr. Dobson exhibited to me cop ies of his bids and official statements of the bids on which the awards had been made, and demonstrated to me, as well as I could get at the result of his figures, that his had been the cheaper, and added that, as his ob ject was to secure the Indian market for American manufacturers by prodacing a better than the foreign article, his blankets would all have been up to the standard. I know, toe, thefact Mr. Dobson makes blan keta which were driving the best foreign blankets from our market by their superior excellence when our heavy war taxes gave English - manufacturers advantages over him at his very doors. What I assert is that he, with such mo• lives to furnish standard blankets, did not get the contract, and that the miadle-man who did get it applied to him to make the goods. I know further that at the timo he made that exhibit to me the party to whom the contract had been awarded was treating with him to make the blankets; and he said to me, "Of course I will have to make them at a little lower rates than I would have done had I got the contract direct, for he must have a profit, and the Indians will get the blankets by so much inferior to those I offered to make for the Government." The blankets being delivered now, if that con tract was concluded, and I believe it was, are made in my district by Mr. John Dob son at the Falls of Schuylkill, and made in ferior to what he would have delivered to the Government, because he is not bound to a Government standard, and gets an infe rior price from the contractor who got the contract over him. I put in one qualifica tion to theSe assertions, which is, provided that contract was executed, for I have made no inquiry on the subject since then. Mr. Burleigh—l will say, in reply to the gertleman from Pennsylvania that some months ago I received a letter from a whole sale merchant in New York,who said he saw the blankets being manufactured in Eng land for our Indians. Mr. Kelley—ln what part of Enrope are the falls of Schuylkill in the Twenty-first Ward of Philadelphia and Fourth District of Pennsylvania? [Laughter.] Burleigh—l cannot say anything about that; it is not worth while. I will say further, it was stated in that letter that a sample of those blankets had been sent to this country, and there was complaint that a large proportion of cotton entered into their manufacture. I am under the impression that the contractors have had these Indian blankets manufactured and imported from England. I think if the gentleman from Pennsylvania will intro duce a resolution of inquiry into this House he will obtain that information from the Indian Bureau. do not wish to do injus tice to any one, but I still entertain the opinion expressed in the first place. Mr. Kelley—l will not say a resolution of inquiry will result in proving that some In dian blankets are made abroad, but I will say that such an inquiry will establish the facts I have asserted, that the contract was given for an inferior article at equal or higher rates to ainan who went to a rejected bidder, John Dobson, of Philadelphia, and proposed to contract with him to manufac ture the blankets of an inferior character and at an inferior rate so the contractor might make a profit out of his contract with the Government. Mr. Dobson's blanket fac tories are at the Falls" ofof the Schuylkill, Twenty' -first Ward of Philadelphia. Ido not think that is in Europe. Mr. Allison—Mr. Speaker, I merely desire to know whether it is a crime in an officer of the Government to purchase foreign manufactured goods ? Mr. Kelley—l do not say it is a crime to purchase foreign goods. I heard the gentle man from Dakota state that the blankets for the Indians were made in Europe. I thought it a pity that announcement should go to the country without qualification. I will ask my friend whether he does not think it is a crime, though it may not be a statutory one; a crime against morals; a crime against the Indians; a crime against he Government, to give a contract to a po itical favorite at higherratesthanEtnother -tiered, and then to accept under -that con tract an inferior article made at an inferior price by one of the rejected _ Mr. Allison—l will answer the:inquiry of the gentleman when he answers nine. desire to know whether or not he'insists a Government officer shall purchase articles of American mannfitzture exclusively. , li Mr. eliel.havenot made such an in imation. The question was not in point. I was only correcting the gentleman's state ment in reference to these blankets being made abroad. ' • Mr. Allison—l understand we walk (Jelly upon a carpet purchased abroad by ore of our officers. My, Kelley—That is true, and if we do not sown diminish our internal taxes and revise uur tariff bill we-will soon- be walking in nothing but foreign made clothes, under foreign umbrellas, and in foreign-made Mr. Allison—l will say that if a public of ficer gives a political favorite a contract at a higher rate than that of another bidder, he does commit a crime, and ought to be pun ished. Ido not understand the gentleman' ; to say these blankets weretaken at a higher rate than was bid by, his friend. Mr. Kelley 7 l have not made the positive assertion that the blankets for this year; were made by Mr. Dobson.'What I say is that Mr. Dobson laid before me his bids and the report of lettings presented to him from: the Indian office, and that his calculations; and mine showed that his bid was lower 'than that upon which the contract had been awarded. - Mr.Burleigh—l would ask the gentleman if he knows that these blankets were man-' ufactured in Philadelphia. Mr. Kelley—l repeat agairl the last time I was in. Mr. Dobson's establishment he was about concluding a contract, and he said, -Of course, I do not contract with the Gov ernment, and cannot make 'blankets of the quality I was ready to furnish to the Gov ernment. I was anxious to prove that I , could excel in Mackinaw blankets, as I do' in others, and would have done it; but I am' about contracting with an individual for blankets of an inferior character at a less price, and the contractor with the Govern ment will pocket the difference. The Gov ernment will not know me in the transac tion, or even know that I make the blan kets." Mr. Burleigh—But still, sir, this system goes or, and will go on until there is a revo tution in this whole concern. Untold mil lions have been expended under our pre sent miserably managed Indian system, and all without any important change in the condition of the Indian or benefit to the Government, but on the contrary. wrong, violence, and bloodshed have been ttie legitimate fruits of such a policy. Not one new idea has been developed nor a single practical result accomplished. "How to do it, and how not to do it," seems to be the standing order of the Indian institution. The country which I have described as a suitable and permanent location for the Indians, is sufficiently large to support all the tribes north of the Arkansas and east of the Rocky mountains. Itis well adapted to the wants of a large Indian population with an abundance of land suited to culti vation, and it is the great game region of the United States. The removal and final settlement of our lirorthwestern Indians in this proposed re servation would enable us to open the entire body of mineral lands east of the Rocky Mountains, relieve our overland emigration from Indian dangers and annoyances and place the red men where they could , live and die unmolested by the enterprise of the white man, and under the protecting arm of the Government. But lam satisfied that no such grand results will be realized so long as Congress contents itself with read ing the reports of interested Secretaries and Commismonera—officers who would starve upon their salaries living as they do, but who thrive immeasurably upon the more questionable perquisites of their offices. Mr. Wilson (Iowa)—I desire to ask the gentleman to explain what he means by speaking of interested Secretaries and other officers. Mr. Burleigh—Well, sir, I do not desire to •ahe the time now to discuss this matter, but I have information in my possession which, if the gentleman desires it, I will lay before Congress, so that he can weigh and examine it himself. Mr. Wilson (lowa)—lt is simply for the purpose of understanding the matter. I suppose that the gentleman intended to convey the idea that the Seinetary and the head of the departments having control of of Indian affairs were interested in the con tract. Mr. Burleigh—Perhaps not in this con tract particularly; but it is generally under stood that there are certain perquisites at tached to the office of Secretary as well as that of Commissioner. Mr. Wilson (Iowa)—I do not intend to de fend any wrongful act committed by any member of this Government, but what I de sire is, when the gentleman is dealing in charges of this kind, that he shall make them plain and specific. That is what I in sist upon. Mr. Burleigh—lf I can get a resolution adopted by the House I will endeavor to gratify the gentleman's curiosity before the close of the session. • Mr. Wilson (lowa)—lt is not curiosity; I merely askthe gentleman to so deal with this when he connects these in sinuations with public officers, as to allow us to understand just what he means to say. Mr. Burleigh—l mean just what I say. Mr. Wilson (lowa)—Well, he has not said very much; it is mere intimation, more by the way of innuendo than anything else, and I would like to have the gentleman make a charge specific. Mr. Burleigh--I would rather not be in terrupted. Mr. Kelley—l desire to say that in all the intercourse I had with the party to whom I have referred about blankets that was no thing that led me to suppose for one mo ment that the Secretary of the Interior had any cognizance of the transactions thatwere going on. The allegations were made against the officer of the Indian Bureau, Who had the duty of contracting for Army blankets. And lf, fromany remarks Ihave made, the inference is drawn that I know any reason why I should sympathize with the reflections upon the Secretary of the In terior just indulged in by the gentleman from Dakota, I beg leave to dispel it. There was nothing that came to my knowledge that in any way reflected upon him. [Here the hammer fell.] HIDDEN TREASURE BROUGHT TO LIGHT. — The Dyesburg (Tenn.) Gazette of the 29th ult. says : A short time, before our civil war threw its lurid light over the land, an un married man moved from Mississippi to this county,and settled at a place a few miles from Dyersburg and commenced the quiet but prosperous life of a farmer. When a call was made for troops he abandoned his ocoupalon and enlisted as a soldier in the Confederate army, and was killed in one of the battles in Mississippi. Being almost an entire stranger in the county, nothing was known of his family affairs. At the close of of the war his place was cultivated by a Mr. Wilson. A short time since, daring the cold weather, a negro of Capt. Hall's went on the place to cut a "back log," which he did. On placing it on the fire he remarked that it was the heaviest log for its siae he ever lifted. The fire burned brightly and rnerrily,and in a short time a stream of yellow lava com menced running on the hearth, which proved to be melted gold. We learn that the gold, all of which was not melted, weighed twenty pounds, and is still in pos session of the fortunate finder. It is sup posed that the Mississippian, on entering the army, stowed his gold away in the log for safe keeping. THE DAILY EVENING BULLPITIN : PHILADELPHIA. FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1866 A stated meeting was held yesterday after noon. A. communication'was received from the Directors of Girard Collee!), thro , wh Mr. Freemen, asking the sanction of Councils for the reception of an increased number of pupils. A communication from the First Presby terian Church of Philadelphia, tendering for sale their church property in Cherry, below Eleventh street, for school purposes, at a low figure, and upon terms of decided ac conimodation, was also presented. A note was received frorn John Welch, Esq., President of tbe - Commission for the erection of a free bridge over the. Schuylkill at South street. It conveyed the act of As sembly relative to the subject, together with an opinion by the City Solicitor concerning the powers and the duties of the Commis sion. 'The City Solicitor's opinion is to the effect that the law seems to be conflicting, inasmuch as the Commission is compelled to commence the bridge in one year from April 5, 1866, and the City Councils have. until July Ist, 1867, in which to take the ne cessary action. Councils may, possibly de sire to contest the law, or may desire them selves to enter into contract for the bridge. In the latter. case the duties of the Commis sion will at once cease. The communication was referredto the Committee on Survey's. , • An invitation to attend the inauguration of the Soldiers' Home was accepted. Mr. Gray submitted the following: Besotved, That, the thanks of the city of. Philadelphia are hereby tendered to - the, Representatives thereof in the United States House of Representatives—Hons. Samuel J. Randall, Charles O'Neill, Leonard Myers,. William D.Kelley and M. Russell Thayer— for the untiring zeal with which they have urged the acceptance by the government of the gift of League Island as a site for a naval depot, and for the distinguished ability they have displayed in confronting objections and advocating the interests of the State and of the octy in this behalf. _Resolved, That to the representatives in Congress from the State of Pennsylvania, who so steadfastly adhered to the claims of their commercial metropolis in this strug gle, we return the heartfelt acknowledg ments of this community, and trust that the State and the city may always be found thus mutually dependent. Resolved. That to the disinterested men of all parties in the national House of Re presentatives who have at last succeeded in passing the League Island bill by so deci sive a majority, we owe our sincere grati tude, and would express it more at length were we not aware that they have acted solely for the good of the public service, and with no eye to local interests, however much the latter may be benefited in the result. Resolved, That we look to the national Se nate with con tidence and respect for an early agreement with the action of the House of Representatives in this matter, pursuant to the wishes of the Navy Department,so often expressed by our present able Secretary,the Hon. Gideon Welles, in his official reports, in order that the Philadelphia Navy Yard, now so narrow, cramped, inconvenient and inadequate to the demands made upon it, may be removed to a capacious and admi rably situated ground. suited to the pro gress of the national service and of the re public itself. .Resolved. That to Secretary Welles we ewe a final tribute for his unwavering advocacy of the acceptance of League Island for an iron-clad naval depot, against the violent and unremitting hostility of his own State, Connecticut; and that we are sure we could wish him no greater triumph or satisfaction than that he may be able soon to behold League Island the vast naval depot he in tended it to be; in doing which he will leave the nation in possession of a perfectly secure centre of naval preparations, whence the most powerful naval armaments may at any time be fitted out with less cost and loss of time than at any other point on the Atlantic seaboard. The resolutions were adopted. Mr. Van Cleve, chairman of the Special Committee on reception of the State flags,reported an ordinance appropriating $lO,OOO to defray the expenses of the occasion. A list of police appointments, recently made by Mayor McMichael,were confirmed. Mr. Gray, of the Special Committee on the Improvement of Broad street, reported an ordinance dedicating, for a public drive, the whole of Broad street, from the Delaware to Washington street, and from Willow to Fisher's Lane, the intervening space to be devoted to the same purpose three years hence, when the railroad tracks are removed, the whole to be paved or macadamized at the expense of the owners of the property, the intersections only excepted. Passed. Mr. Spering, of the . Committee on City Property, reported a resolution approving of the action of the committee in awarding a contract tor a dry stone wall at Fairmount Water' Works. Adopted. The bill to compel ; city railroad lines to use fenders upon their cars to prevent acct..: dents to life and limb, that was reported at the last meeting, came up as the special or der of the day. Dr. Kamerly couldn't see that the Cham ber had any legal right to legislate in this matter. Show to these railway companies any specific means to prevent persons on their track from being run over, and they will doubtless employ them. But the city has no right to compel the railroad comps nies to adopt any particular man's patent invention, when they see no advantge in it.. The speaker moved that the bill be indefi nitely postponed. Mr. Freeman argued that the bill was im practicable. He couldn't see the fairness of forcing expenses upon railroad companies that are not imposed upon ordinary owners of vehicles. Because some parties are care less, it was not fair to coerce everybody into an expense that was not necessary. The motion indefinitely, to postpone was agreed to by a vote of 15 to 6. Mr. Hodgson presented a communication from the Trustees of the City Ice Boat., stating that they have contracted with Messrs. Cramp if: Sons for the building of a new iron "city ice boat," to cost $92,000 and to be ready for use by December Ist. They ask that a loan of $lOO,OOO may be authorized to pay for the new boat. ; Referred to the Finance committee. The Common Council bill approving the su reties of J.W.Colladay,contractor,for build ing the new conit-house was concurred in. The ordinance to appropriate $1,075,000 to liquidate the interest upon the debt of the city,that falls due July lst,was concurred in. Colonel Page moved ,to reconsider.the vote by which the ;bill to regulate the wharf line on Windmill Island was postponed indefi nitely. Lost by a vote- of 18 to 3. A number of Common Council bills were concurred in, including the one to adjourn on July 12th to the second Thursday in September. Adjourned. Mr. Mercer presented a petition from re dents : on Broad street and the adjacent paral lel streets north of Girard aventte,complain ing of the great scarcity of water at all sea sons, and particularly during the summer, the supply failing entirely during the day time. The petitione—i numbering several hundred, asked that a 20 in. main be, laid in Columbia avenue, connecting with a 30 in. main on Broad street, and branching by 6 in. pipes through all the streets running north and south. Mr. Mercer, of the Finance Committee, offered an ordinance to appropriate $1,075,- 000 to pay the interest on the funded debt of the city falling due on the first of July. Passed. Also, an ordinance to approve the secu rities of T.W,Colladay,the oontraotor forithe CITY COUNCILS. SELEC7T BRANCH. Colonel Page very heartily endorsed these resolutions. COMMON BRANCH new court house, the bonds amounting to $15,000. Passed. Mr. Billington, chairman'of the Commit tee on Police, an ordinance to authorize the enclosure of all - vacant lots within the limits of the city, provided there shall be no ex pense incurred by the city. Mr. Billington called up the ordinance in reference to the exchange ofischoal KU; in the Eleventh Ward. Passed. Mr. Griffiths, chairman of the Committee on Fires and Trusts, reported an ordinance to ring the State House bell at all fires and to appropriate the amount of the salaries of the uutnitensi beil-ringers required. Mr. Hancockoppusete He ..0./a tne daily ringing of the bell is not necessary. The ex pense need not be incurred. The police and lire alarm telegraph was instituted to give alarms of fires, and it answers better roan the ringing of the bell. The bill was, lost—yeas 11, nays 20. The new Police District bill came up. Mr. Mercer offered a substitute to the bill, t..thiting the boundaries of the - let District—The territory south of South street, between the Delaware river and Sixth street, the station at Southwark Hall. 2d District—The territory south of South street, west of Sixth street,and east of Broad, the station at Moyamensing Hall, 17th District—The territory south ofSouth street, bet Ween Broad street and the Schuyl kill, the station house being at Twentieth and Fitzwater. A. motion to recommit the entire btusiness to the Committee on Police was lost. Mr. Mercer's substitute was lost. It provides that the First district shall be the territory south of South street, between Broad street and the Schuylkill; station at Twentieth and Fitzwater streets. The Second district shall be the territory south of South street, east of Sixth street; station at the Southwark Hall The Seventeenth district shall be the territory' south of South street, between. Sixth and Broad streets; station at Mnyamenaing Hall. The bill ap propriates $475 to pay the difference of salaries between police officers and a lieu tenant and two sergeants to be appointed for the new district. The Select Council ordinance to appro priate $lO,OOO for expenses to be incurred in the reception of the State flags was called up. Mr. Fox resisted the appropriation. He stated that the Chamber had already passed a limitation on the expenditures on thatbc casion, restricting the appropriation to $l,OBO. Above this the Chamber should not go. The reception is not to be a city cele bration. " It is entirely in the hands of the Legislature. At first the Committee of the Legislature would not admit the Committee of Councils. When the Legislative Com mittee, however, found that they wanted so much money, they concluded to allow the Councils to come into the arrangements for the reception, and pay the expenses of the same. The Legislature appropriated the necessary expenses. What is to be done with that money. Mr. Willetts said that he did not know where Mr. Fox was drifting. When the committee of the Legislature was appointed they knew no more what it would cost than the committee of Councils knew when they were specified. Governor Curtin, from whom the project for the return of the bat tle-flags of the Pennsylvania regiments ori ginated, desired that at this, probably the last great celebration growing out of the war, the orphans and the widows of the soldiers who fell in battle should be present. To collect, transport and feed on their way here will absorb the legislative appropria tion. To feedthem while here Philadelphia must furnish the appropriation. The mo ney must be expended. There is no item that is not specified. If the fire-works can be dispensed with, leave them out. Bat in New York and Boston there are annually $15,000 or 4-0,000 expended for fireworks, and this is a great spftial occasion. Mr. Hetzel moved to postpone it for one week and make it the special order of the day at 4 o'clock. Lost. Mr. Dillon moved to reduce the appropri ation to $5,000. Lost. The appropriation was concurred in. The resolutions of thanks to the Secretary of the Navy, and to our representatives in Congress for the passage of the League Island bill were concurred in. Select Council met the Common Chamber in joint convention and elected by acclama tion the following officers ; Police Magistrates-Ist district, Samuel Lutz; 2d do. Joseph C. Tittermary; 3d do., Wm.
