The agencies are divided among and assigned to the differenf teligious bod ies, and tbisf division and assignment are recognired and accepted by them all, with the distinct understanding, to which custom has given all sanctions church is to have sole 5 00 ! control of its own ajency. Thus we have in the Indian Territory sectarian agencies filled by sectarian agents. To illustrate, a vacancy occurs in an agen cy. The particular sect to which it has been assigned is notified that they must make a nomination and upon this -nomination the President appoints. No other sect cjan or will be heard' as to this appointment. There may be and doubtless ae thousands without the pale of that church who are as well and in many respects better qualified, but that will have no weight 'in deter mining the appointment. The agent must be recommended by that church and through him and with. the money furnished by the Government this par ticular sect or church carries their mis hionary operations among the Indians at this point.1 . To prove this I quote the language Aqf.the Commissioner on Indian Affaius on page 23 of his report for the year 1875.

Then again, sir, at tliat time there was a law that thereafter no goods should be purchased by the Indian De partment or its agents, -for any tribe, except upon the written requisition of the superintendent ,in charge of the tribe. This law was violated, and the then Commissioner of Indian Affairs, William P. Dole, in spite of that law staring him in the face, made requisi aea ior ov from the people, but from a sect, which sideratibn, they propose to reduce the to have exclusive charge of the agen excnditures of last year $5,724,4 1 7 39, T- Tlie boa ma act conscientiously, which .till be a reduction of the estii 1 doubtless do so far as they can, mates this year to the Amount of $7,- bt ifc will .be seen that however else so,-. od ; Qualified it is tion fleserves our serious attention." and gious opinions of the agent must accord . , I trust Will in the main receive a cor- Kith the body appointing him and Anotner greax cause oi compiamt m ing, showing the lrauiis m the trans uiai support, iotn m tins itouse ana " uujc uuooiwurtl; " iijvj"b i r. w a i ; c,fei - 1 I.. .-.I . . r ' . i ate uuuiLiiw xii cue iiiaiuiv uuiwa a i n Hie senate, ine test can now oe iti, t , f dlstnbutioii araoxu? them. ! ...
