An Ypsilanti Scandal

An Iridian scandal is iuvolving prominent residents of our sister city. - About one yearago Major Cicero Na well i of Ypsilanti, npon rëoommendation of the late senator Chandler, pension agent Samuel Post, U.S. District Attorney Uutcheon and ethers, not ïncluditiy: atiy of the Michigan delegation in Congrega, received an appointment as agent for ; Kosebud orSpottedTail agency, Dakota. Newell needing the services of a nuiuber of persons to carry on the agenoy appointed several citizens of Ypsilanti t" subordínate positions. Amongthenumber was Dr. Owan, who went out there as physioian to the agenoy bnt returned after a few months. Why he returned has just come to ligl.t. Acoording to the Washington correspondent of the Detroit Free Prest, Owen was ad because be sold üquor to the Indmns. Thcreupou uwen retftlifttes by charging that Newell exaeted from his appoiutees a sum of moneyiu consiiieratiou of tLeir appointinent ; that Newell'a father sent to his son a number of raen from whoru he (the father) had received sums of money or promissory notes. These charges the Indian Bureau nome weeks go refused to investígate, but acoording ;o reports in ciroulation in Washington, Jwen's wife has reoently written a letter :o Hayes and Pchuiz reitsrating the harges. If they can be substanti ii'd íewell ought and doubtless will, lose . lis place. It looks as if Newell was "on he niake" a la Belknap. If Owen lqst lis oiSye becaase he was "on themake,'1 ie appears disposed to puni-sh his supeior, who, if thüse charges are truo, used . lis father as a go-between to recuive the lash for parceliug out appointiuents to lis neighbors. Tliis is a pretty quarrel .s it stands, and beiug entirely in the anks of the republicans, there is litün o choose, as it appeprs Owen as well es ■iowall had an eye on the main chance.
