THE CABINET MEETING.—At the regular meeting of the Cabinet to-day all the mem- bers were present except Secretary Thomp- son.

Some time before the time appointed a large crowd bal as sembled sound the front portico to see the arrival of the Iodiaus in their fantastic war dresses and accoutrements. At five minutes of ten the delegation made their appearance, and silently filed into the East Room in the same order as on yesterday. Tne Ogaialla chiefs and one of the Arrapahoes (Black Coal) #poke yesterday” the remainder of the Arrapahoes and the Brules, who desired to do £0. spoke to-day. In a few minates the President came in accompanied by Secre- tary Schurz, Gov. McCormick, Gen. Croot: and others. The Postmasier General aod other prominent officers came in later. The rear of the room was filled with spectators who Were fortunate enough to gain admis. sion. Mr. W. W. Corcoran oecapied a froat seat. The President arose and said “I am now ready to bear any of the chiefs wno wish to speak.” SPOTTED TAIL AS AN ORATOR. After brief consultation, Spotted Tail, the leading chief of the Brules, seated himself ia the center of the floor and spoke as follows Dear Pither:-—1 r your house to- heart. see you and on with @ goal heart, day I wish to talk about our ousiness, which is @ good business. Tae country fam living in belongs to the government, aud I Lam now there is a good deal of talk amoag the whites as to where I shall live, and that is what I wanttotalk about. Where lam now the commissioners drew a line towards the Biack Hills. What councils were beld re- arding ihis line, I don’t u stand. Ali I now is that they are always trying to scare us into this business. Thi the way I Signed the papers; they frighteved me into tt Laidn’t know what I was doing. I said at the time that I was willing todo what my great father wanted me to do. Taey told me that there were many points that hat not been given us from the old treaty, and they told me that when I signed all the back romixes would be k They told me that f I didn’t sign they would either send me to the Missouri river or south «cross Arkansas river. {[ wanted them to tell me how and where my people were to live and what would be given us. That is the way I have been treated. I know one thing; (his—wherever the white man owas a pee of land he builds a feace around it and tis his. That's the way all while men live, but the people who come out there take our laud away from us and impose upon us. Be- fore the white man came out there, it was easy totake care of our property: but now we can’t do it. Your people come out there; make roads, drive tue game away, and make us all’ poor. That country was given us by the Great Spirit above, and by the Great Father bere. Where the whites live the Great Spirit gives the land, and you re- main there. That’s the way «1i nations ought to live. Their land should be their own. My Great Father, I can't read or write, but I would like to bring my children up like the whites. That couutry is mine ani | love it. When the commissiovers came ont I didn’t talk to them as Ido to you to-day. I never asked them to send me to the Missouri or across the Arkansas. The country | was brought up in I would like to live in. We Wan! the white man to make roads around us, but not right amongst us. My Great Father, [came here to lay my troubles be- fore you; to tell you what I want, and to let you decide. My Great Father, [am done. SPOTTED TAIL ENDORSED BY OTHER CHIEFS.
