This cere- Mony completed, Commissioner Parker requested the TrisRtee aah hg that some remarks would be made to them by Secretary Cox. He wanted them all to pay very particula¥ dttention, as this would probably be thé last time they would have atalk here. The Secretary said:— I will first refér to some of the requests which have been made, Some few thin, been given-since you have been here, such as biankets and shirts. When on your way back’ to your country, by way of New York, Zneral Sinith, who has been “directed to do so, will procure presvits for you. We have determined also to grant Fequest to have a trader in your own country, near the Black Hilis, ‘The exact place will be fixed by the agent here- after, at a point most conyentent for you. We have here the Governor of Wyoming, who fives at Cheyenne— Governor Campbell. “If you’ trade there you will bave @ good deal to do with him, and, in addition to bein the Governor, he is Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and takes care of all our aifairs there. If the Ogallalas keep peace, remain quiet and Indians we will divide the goods instead of sending them all up the Missouri river, and deliver a part of them to the Ogal di rect, President himaelt said to, you yesterday that we could not remove Fort Fetierman, Wich Js necessary t2 protect the Indians aa wel) as be ro W! ve stand by our naehatieabionts mise ae ven Ago, when Yi Were taken away from Forts Phil Kearny, R66 ah Smith.

Our arrangements have been made 0 that in two days you may. start on your way nome. ‘We want you to think upon what we have said before. Duifalo is getting scarcer every year, and it will not be lo before you will have to cease living ‘by hunting, because t gawe will be gone. We, as your friends, advise you to leura the way the white man lives, and learn’ to raise crops from the ground, and take care of tame cattle instead cattle, Have tame instead of wild. It 1a because we know that this 18 best for you that we advise you to do it We have told you that the existing things are changin, you might as well try to hold back the winds with your hands &s to prevent these changes. When we hear that you are doing all:you can to live in peace and make a living we will Histen to all the complaints you make. Your agente must write thei to us here, and the President and all of us will give the closest attention to your wants, and use all our power to make you happy, #0 long aé you are friendly to us, ‘I are the parting words, Red Clovd, adjusting his blanket around his lois, at resuming his usually serlous countenance, 3 FatTHEr—I am chief of the Sloux nation and came here vo talk plainly with my Gre er. Thave net much to say. You while people look at me. “Some of ou have gray hairs and some are bald. It is time to reason. Look at me. You are a nan of sense. You have not treated me as I ought to have been treated. Wien I was a young man I was poor. In a war with other nations I was in eighty-seven fights, There Ireceived my name and was made chief ot my nation. But now I am old, an Twant to raise my chil- dren just the samme as you do yours. Father, I want you to Msten“to me. Ihave never quarrelied or had any trouble with the traders living su my country; but since ‘my Great Father sent troops and put a road through my country blood been shed there, It is not my fault, but your fault. You have not looked at me. If we had got into trouble it is Bot my fault. In the treaty of 1852 I was promised Sifty-five 5 art of them for only ten from me, I lent that road and atx tri Fathe ls ow do. @ mouth of is time my Father put a line around my coun #0 T may know what belongs to me. I want you to let us keep our lands so we can raise our children on it. I ask you to give me traders and agents in the neighborhood of Fort Lt ie. The Great Spirit did not tel ‘us Wo Bre slaves, tile ye Se which ded from sunrise to sunset. When any: exten thing bad happens you always put the blame on us’ We cannot see tt in that fight, We are ail of one nation. We gave lands to the whites just as we did to mye bere ren of the red nation. I do not ike one thin, rman Father for trading. Fort Laramie f been going there all the time. Black Bear was friendly to the whites, but the soldiers iately went out and murdered bim. We want you to remove the troops so that our youn, men cap travel and be happy. We were not aliowe: to go to Cheyenne. If Governor Campbell is your Su- perlutendant there, why not instruct him to Some in there, ‘instead of treating “sneaky. dog,” and making us strike the forty miles beow. In 1862, at the mouth of Horse creek, the avent placed me with thirteen nations who gathered there. We were all pleased in the hope of getting everything we mdfui, It was oor and rich; but we got only nearly ail stolen from us. Alter ail these promises I co not put any more faith in my White Father. Therefor When, three years ago, General Sherman sent for me to come in I sald, I will not come in until ‘ou remove the posts, aud after you removed em I came to Fort Laramie and signed the treaty. You see before you my young men, my chiefs and soldie ‘They are the best Ihave. I have not received anything from you for two years, When I leave here I want you to make Sur hearts glad, $o that we may tell our people what you have done for ts. T want you to take pty on my young men, I them on™ horseback, that they may. go home with good hearts, The Governor of Wyoming Territory has not taken an Interest in me. He is not looking after our welfare. He does not know my way and style. We do not wish hirn to be our Superintendent of Tndian Affairs. We have one man here, we want him to be Superintendent—Mr. Beauvais. We ask you for another thing. We want B. B. Mills for our agent and Coffee and Bullock for our traders. The white man has got the gold out of the land whieh belonged to the red man. Will not the Great Father have pity on us, who have becn raised with the bow and arrow! We want him to pay for the stock and property destroyed out of his own money and not out of our anouity. 1 am very. warm and will rest a while. I will speak again before the sun sets. Red Dog then gathered up his blanket, sprang to his feet, and, as usual, after shaking hands with t he Secretary and Commissioner Parker, sald:—- Look at me! I am one of the chiefs. Our people frst claimed and owned this land. Some of my forefathers are buried in this land and it is my businers to talk about it. My forefathers were raised the saine as you were. My forefathers shook hande with the whites; thoy shook hands in peace. Look at all these young men. ‘They are all our braves, our captains and generals and chiefs of our armies, I hav é three or four musket bail wounds on me, It is not my fault. I have come into this room offering my prayer to the Great Spirit for peace. When I looked at your tag of red and white we ed the red and came bere with the white only. Look atme and Jook at yourself. [Turning to Com- missioner Parker he said]:—We are of one blood. living among the whites; your color has changed but very Hite. When f had a father and motuer they took care of me ‘and nursed me. I want you to do the same. When my father raised ine he put me on good horses and gave mo leggings and moccassons. You are my father. When I leave this house I want youto do the same. Whon you send your men out there I do not know them. All they look at is thelr own interests and to see how they can cheatus. They offer us papers to sign. Our people are fools and sign them. We want Mr. Beauvais for our superintendent, He 1s the only man trueto us, When we had a council Little Bear weut there and got into trouble. The Cheyennos, they teil us have sold our Jand. We want to know what right they had to sell St. Our Great Father sent out commissioners in 1852 and promised us annuities for fifty-five years, and we have only Feceived them for @ short time. Men have been sent out who have stolen all from us, Afterwards thirteen na- tions held a talk with you, Conyuering Bear being the chief of the whole of the nations, Emigrants travelled over the country: we were peaceable. One eiigrant tad atame cow, which was left bebind over night, and an Indian, secing ft was abandoned, killed it, Complaint was imade that the Indians had stolen’ his cow, when Conquering Bear, for the aake of peace, offered to pay for the cow in mules and j moceasons. This proposal the emigrant refused ‘neighboring fort and brought back two companies of soldie for a surrender of the Indi € an the Indian, saying, “You can go there and take lum,” stead of which the Conquering Bear, and shot my chief. Thongh the used through Gur country we have not received even a rays ring forthe land, We wantyou to pay us for it, eal Cloud again addressed the Secretary as fo) Wai ihe oicer commanding asked ‘onquering Bear pointed out n- After the passage of the treaty of 1852 only one of the ple the Gre Father has sent out has told us the truth, jt was Generai Smith, and ever he has told me since 18 sHothing but the truth.

Red Cloud aid h was asked to “g fie Weity, mdidly to show that he was peaceable, and not to grant théir lands. The Great Spirit was looking down, and he was telling nothing bat what was true. He knew those tricks had been played before, and he was here to settle the question between the Secretary and himself. He never received a pin for letting the railroad pass through his country, The Secretary further explained the time Red Cloud signed the treaty, which told everything that was to be done, It was signed first by the Brule- Sioux and next by the Ogallallas and other bands of Sioux, and the Secretary said it had been supposed all the Sioux had heard of it, Red Cload said:— ‘This §g the first time I have heard of such treaty, I never heard of jt and do not mean to foliow it. Iwantto know tae was the interpreter who interpreted these things to the ndians, The names‘of three were mentioned, and he said;— “[ know nothing about it; it was never explaiued tome.” Bear-in-the-Grass sald:— Te ‘The Great Spirit hears me'*-42%, Teil nothing but what que when Te reso wells hl ee hae: It was merely said the treaty was for peace and ip among the whites, When we took hold of the pen they said they would take the trooys away so we could raise children, Some conversation took place between Secretary Cox and several of the chiefs in relation to explana- tions of the treaty by the Commissioners to the In- dians, The Secretary said:— These things were done by Generals Sherman, Sanborn, Harvey, Tappan, Augur and Terry, who would not tell a lie to save their lives, and who wished the treaty to be under- stood as it was here written, When the forts were ybandoned that was prooe we were doing what had agreed, ‘Tel ~ we Red Cloud, he said to the interpreter, that General Smith{did not leave Fort Phit- Kearney, be he ing out orders. One reason why this talk with these Indians was that there should be tl ‘he Great Father ininks this is » strong bond of obligation. This treaty f] was signed by more than two handred different Sjonx of al 1e bands. RED CLoup—I do not say the Commissioners lied, but the fnterpreters were wrong, Ipever heard a word only what was brought tomy camp. When the forts were removed I came to make peace. You had your war houses or forts. When you removed them I signed atreaty of peace. We Want to straighten things up. SECRETARY COX—The réason we wanted you to come here was that you tnay explain to your people, REp CLoup-1 offered General Smith myself to pay the fare down, in mules, of four interpreters, if my Great Father ‘was too poor. Sxorrrary Cox—You have faith in what you now hear Grogs this interpreter ? Red Cloud said he bad. Secretary Cox resumed—I have been very careful so that no mistakes should be made, and that our word should be as open as daylight, so that we may understand what binds the Slonx and ourselves. We are trying to get Congress to cal out our promises, and we want the Indians to do their part, ‘We simply say to them, this is the ment made as we re- We have copics printed in afew leaves by them- selves. We will give one to Red Cloud, so that it can be in- terpreted to him exactiy what it is. Hed Cloud sald—“All the. promises made in treaties had never been fulfilled. The object of the whites was to crush the Indians down to nothing. ‘The Great Spirit would judge these things hereafter. All the words I sent never reached the Great Father. They are lost betore they get Chief of thirty-nine nations. I will not take th me. It is all fies.” The Secretary distributed copies of the treaty to the interpreters, agents and traders present, and adjourned the Council till to-morrow, in order, meantime, that the provisions of the treaty may be explained to the Indians, Democratic Caucu A caucus of democratfe Senators and members was held to-night in the House Judiciary Committee room. Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, was chairman, and J. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, secres tary. The financial propositions now before Con- gress were discussed, with a view to having united action on the part of the democracy; but it was soon ascertained that the members from the East could not agree with those from the West and the matter was dropped. A committee, consisting of Senators Thurman and Hamilton, and Representatives Woodward, Shobver and Beck was appointed to devise ways and means to carry the close Congressional districts for the democracy. This committee is to report at a future caucus. After discussing the general plan of the coming fall cam- paign the caucus adjourned. The Army Bill.

A NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT AT THE BAR OF THE HOUgy USE. At half-past ene o'clock the Doorkeeper and an assistant of the Sergeantat-Arma, appeared atthe Dar of the House having in custody Mr. W, Scott Smith, reporter of the New York Lvening Poet. ‘The BPRAKER directed the Clerk to read the resolution under which the arrest was made, Tne resolution having been read, the Speaker directed the Clerk to read the com munication and the despatch complained of. These having algo been read, the Speaker, addressing Mr. Smith, sxid:— Mr. Smith, the House has adopted # resolution requiring ou to appear at the bar and show cause why you should not Be expelled from. the privilege that you now enjoy as one of the reportere in the, reporters gallery for teas alleged lpels if iY : at : In response Mr. ero, rene Speaker the'rehowing communication :~— Tn regard to ivy frst despatch which appeared in the New Ya eens pow or Monay, June 6 10/0, the statements contained therein were bi upon official documents which T'saw, and. the statements set forth in the despatch were identical with those contained in said documents, and the names mentioned in the despatch were the xame as those contained in those papers, and were used therein in the same connection in said lenges nd—Upon these state- ments being denied by Mr. Fitch insale House of Representa- tives I called upon General B. F, Buller and conversed with him upon the subject, and asked him whether he intended to state in the House, when called upon to do so, that there was no evidence before bis committee of investigation direct!y or indirectly implicating Mr. Fitch. General butler said this was not bis exact meaning, but that Mr. Fitch's name ap- ared in the afidavit off Mr. N- OF as Paving been approached, and that a copy of this affidavit was among the pal fore his in- vestigating, | commitice; but did not consider this as directly implicating Mr. Fitch, as it did not ‘appear that he had in any way responded to the approaches abhded to by Mr. Taylor.” In reply to a question by me, Gen- q eral Butler further said that the names of all the members mentioned in my despatch appeared in the aflidavit of Mr. ‘Taylor as having been approuched by him to secure thelr aid for the Cuban cause, . SCOTT SMITH, Washington correspondent of the New York Bening Jot. ‘The paper having been read, the SPEAKER asked Mr. Smith whether he had anything further to state. Mr. SMITH replied that he had not, Mr. FITCH propounded through the Speaker the following question to the correspondent, whieh, there belng no objec- Von, was im :— ‘What official documents do yon refer to, by whom were they exhibited to you, where, and what is their character? ir. SMITH requested So sare fo submit » writen reply. request was grant at e reply having been ‘Sent to the Clerk's deak, was read as follows ‘Anawer—To the first interrogation I state documents alluded to were the sworn affidavit lor and others before the Grand Jury of the District Iumbta. To the second interrogation I would say that these documents were shown to me confidentially, and that it would be 8 violation of good faith to make public the source from which these documents were taken. Mr. Fron anid the answer was not satisfactory, but eva. sive, and moved that the respondent be compelled to answer more fully, and be held for contempt until he does answer. Mr, FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Il, offered a substitute refer- ring the whole matter to a select committee of five members, with power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Farns- ‘worth’s substitute was adapted by Ta to 2. ‘Mr. Smith was informed by the Speaker that he was no rin the custody of the House. nt gent to the Clerk’s desk and had read a despatch from N, B. Taylor, dated at Montreal, stating that he had just seen an articl im the New YORK HERALD, and denying that he had ever had any conversation whatever with either Messrs. Fitch, McCormick, Butler or Golladay on the subject of Cuban recognition. ‘The House then proceeded to consider the Senate amend- Jonge: Subsequently Mr. sary maents to THE LEGIGLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL APPRO- PRIATION BILL. Mr. Dawzs, (rep.) of Mass., chairman of the Committee op Appropriailons, stated that there were 286 amendments to the bill, all of them, with two or three exceptions, adding to the amount appropriated ; but he desired to call special atten- tion to threo or four of them, 80 to get ang expression of the opinion of the House upon ‘them before sending the bill to « committee of conference. ‘The first of these was a sories of amendments increasing the salaries of judges, temale clerks and other officials, the in- crease amounting annually to 639,584. To this increase of salaries the Committee on Appropriations was opposed. ‘The next was an appropriation of $600,000, to commence work on @ new State mont (to cost between Coronel! and 7,000,000), and a proposition to enlarge the Capito! grounds. is, he said, was not a day for adornment, but a day for re- ef.’ The couutry did not expect from Congress a lavish ex, penditure of money to enlarge and beautify the seat of ‘overpment, but did expect some reljef from thuse great urdens which the rebellion Had thrown on the shoulders of this generation. The members of the Committee on Appropriations were ubanimously in favor of retaining the Capitol in Wasbington, ‘They believed that Washington was the place for the Capitol, and it was because they wei friends of the Capitol retention that they were opposed to the attempt to fasten it here by appropriations of money for what might be called permanent ‘mprovements. Such an attempt would be laughed at by those who agitated the re moval of the Capitol, and would only contribute to intensify ‘aud Increase that agitation rather than quiet it, The com- mittee was algo opposed to the Senate amendment excluding from the Court of Claims every persn who had participate: in the rebellion, no matter whether he bad obtained a pardon or not. Mr. Dawes went on at a considerable length to argue ‘against the amendment as involving the good faith of the government. The Bouse then proceeded to vote on the amendments of the Senate, the report of the Commitee on Appropriations recommending concurrence or the non-concurrence being agreed to without # question, except where separate voles were demanded. The first. amendment on which a special vote was asked was that of éxcluding from the Court of Claims persons who Fad participated in tae rebellion, notwitustan ling thelr ing obtained pardons. ‘The commitiee recommends the substitution for the Senate amendment of the following pro- vio :— ‘Provided that no pardon or amnesty be granted by the President, whether general or special, by proclamation oF otherwise, nor any acceptance of such pardon or amnesty, hor an oath taken or any other act performed in pursuance or on a condition theredt, shall be admissible on the part of any claimant in the Court of Claims as evidence tn support of any claim against the United States, Or to establish the standing of any claimant in sald Tight to bring or maintain a suit thereon, ex- pardon and amnesty were granted ‘and wiance and amnesty takeo during the contin. ‘Auce of the active operations of the iate rebellion, proclamation of President Lincoln issued in ance of the thirteenth section of the act of Congress known as the Conhiscation act, approved July 17, 182, pleduing the public faith for a restoration of the rights of property, and where all the requirements and conditions named in said act and Proclamation have been faithfully complied with, and sald Sath of amnesty aud allegiance kept and maintained invio- Tate; and thin 4s hereby declared to be the true intent and meaning in. this regard of several acts conferring jurisdic- tion on the Court of Claims, and of the said uct of July 17 162, and the said proclamation of President Lincoln, an founded, th After di was agre!
