Sip of them was adduced. Under the seventh specification the prisoner pleaded guilty to having received ten dollars for his approval of the indentures of a negro apprentice, but denied that such approval,---( one of the most ordinary services pertaining to his duty as Bureau agent),---was done under color of his office as such agent. The question thus raised was settled by the production and proof of the indentures themselves, bearing his signature as agent of the B.R.,F and A.L. under the word "approved;" but in addition to this, an uncontradicted witness testified that the prisoner, upon demanding this fee, told the witness that "he was paid by the Government to transact that business for those who were not able to pay-that is freedmen." In the absence of any testimony for the defence, it must be inferred that these findings were induced solely by the explanation offered by the prisoner, which being utterly inconsistent with the circumstances of his conduct as shown in evidence, also supposes a greater degree of ignorance and misapprehension of his legal rights and duties than the case affords ground for attributing to an intelligent and responsible official, unless it be found in the fact that the Commission itself has so strangely misunderstood or misapplied to the proof the plainest precepts of law, and the simplest principles of evidence. 

Agent Theodore Wiseman will be discharged from confinement. 

The proceedings and findings in the case of Mary Taylor are approved, and the prisoner will be discharged.
