UNCLE SAM’S ULTIMATUM The Indians to Go On the Reservations or Fight the Troops. A Delegation of Chiefs to Washington—Death of Commissioner Parish. : WitcuiTa AGENCY, I. T., Sept. 10, 1872. "We were up before the sun on Friday morning, ‘the 6th inst., at Leeper Creek, preparing for the grand council to be convened at noon, but not be- fore our Indian friends, Fully impressed with the ‘truth of the saying that it is the early bird that gets the worm, they commenced their flight to our camp while yet the stars were shining, and, squat- ting about our quarters, watched with keen interest every movement we made. Each “buck’ squaw and naked papoose carried a bag, blanket or clout to hold sugar, bread, meat, or whatever else of provender they could beg or steal, and noisily de- manded the immediate attention of the Com- missioner. They crowded into the tents until it was almost impossible to turn round. By smashing open a few boxes of bread and letting them help themselves we were, however, enabled after some time to make a hasty toilet and eat a morsel of breakfast, when the serious work of the morning commenced. These Indians were merely the avant garde of the host that now began to pour in upon us—Comanches, Apaches, Waccos, Delawares, Witchitas, Arrapahoes and Caddoes—some from camps two miles distant, And some from the opposite side of the creek near by; but all—men, women and children—mounted on ponies, came galloping in. Bucks of the lesser grade @nd squaws dismounted and began the work of filling their sacks and blankets with provender, while the chiefs and more distinguished braves looked on in silence or chatted with the interpreters, and no Sooner was one party supplted with provisions than through the tall grass would come galloping Bnd shouting long strings of reinforcements. This continued until eight o'clock, when a shout from the woods heralded tne approach of a herd of cattle @om the agency. AN INDIAN BARBECUE. There was a perfect scramble for orders for beef. Chiefs who had the day previous drawn at the agency and killed @ fat Texan cow reported their young men in a starving condition, and .could not think of attending the council until they had eaten. Testimonials of character were shoved into the hands of the Commissioner, long energetic Speeches and other speeches explanatory or in sup- port and rebuttal of evidence pro and con. were ut- tered, and a delightful hubbub was maintained for an hour or more. Finally orders were given to kill all the cattle and let the Indians help them- selves. This they did with a vengeance. Mr. Jones shot the animals and no time was lost in cutting them up. The prairie grass was soon covered with skins, tails, horns and entrails of animals, and the | efiuvia was sickening. In every direction could be seen squaws and children running with bleeding pieces of flesh or trailing entrails, while some, more provident than others, packed the dripping meat on their ponies, and, mounting, galloped off to dis- tant camps. In an hour there was nothing left of the herd of ten cows but their hoofs and horns. We had dinner at noon on a smail ricketty table brought from Fort Sill, and found it a diMcult matter to accommodate all the chiefs, who kindly joined our mess, alter they had gorged themselves with their own beef. Canned fruit disappeared at an alarm- ing rate; but as Lo does not like canned oysters and abominates salmon and Worcestershire sauce we did very well, TAMMANY TACTICS, Much difficulty was experienced in getting the chiefs together for the council, The Indians in a matter of this kind are exceedingly slow and cau- tious and cannot be urged. They have to hold their preliminary powwows and caucuses and deter- mine among themselves beforehand what course to take. Once they have agreed, however, as to the line of conduct to pursue and the orators to speak, there is never any further discussion. Boss Tweed would be delighted with these fellows. What the chief says in council is law; there never is any “trouble in the party,’? and no one ever dreams of appealing from the decision of the chair. Theirs are Tammany tactics in letter and spirit. ‘The “ayes” always have itin the Indian caucuses. Ou this occasion the Indians were probably slower than usual, for the Commissioner combatted the red interviewers and never dropped a hint of the Object of the council. About two o'clock, how- ever, @ movement was made toward the council | grounds, and an Indian brave, picturesquely dressed | in a flowing robe of canvas, daubed with blue paint, and some unfortunate settler's nightcap, mounted @ stump and howlingly announced that the Great Father was ready to listen to his red children, and that the red children might now step up and settle with the Great Father. A party of the colored troopers had previously arranged the charred beams of Shirley's ill-fated store, put the dining table in position under a tree, and placed boxes and barrela about it for seats for the Commissioner and party. Your commissioner Was early on the ground aud secured a good posi- tion for observation. THB SCENE IN TITE GROVE. The day was intensely warm, but the trees meet- ing over head protected us from the flery rays of the sun, while a gentle breeze from the bluif be- yond the creek occasionally squeezed through the pew (an ol4 man, nearly white, and famous as the guide of Audubon), and Wah-Sauple, second chief of the Caddocs, George Washington, an old, shrewd and well-to-do man, of dark com- lexion and gaudy dress, occupied a log in he right foreground, and near him sat Interpreters Jones and Moinsky, Agents Rich- ards and Miles. Your commissioner sat at the table. This was the position at the moment. Ver shortly alter the bushes were parted and youn; warriors galloped up. and dismounting, formed a second and third circle; and then @ party of Kiowas, under Running’ Bear (now with the Apaches, having been banished from their tribe for killing a'ehiefin a drunken brawl) strode up and took position under a shady oak. But the audience had not yet arrived; the squaws and papooses were still busy drying beef, but they came later and squatted about ity yards from the inner circle of chiefs. THE GUARD OF HONOR, Now was heard the crackling of twigs and the thump, thump of ponies’ feet, and a force of about ahundred warriors, splendidly mounted, dressed and armed, rode up and sat on their horses behind their respective chiefs. These formed the Indian guard of honor, There were present probably three hundred souls in all, Our warriors, the colored es- cort, did not show themselves, and I am glad they did not, for they would have spoiled the picture. When all the preliminary arrangements were thus completed, C.ptain Alvord appeared and took his seat at the table. He was dressed in white, and wore a gorgeous scart of blue and gold—the emblem of authority in some secret society—to more effect- ually impress the savages, of course, was closely scanned, There was a long interval of silence, dur- ing which tne Commissioner arranged his notes and phenared. for the opening of the council. Had there een Within call a good regiment of cavalry some of us would have giver vent to our merriment at the expense of many of the warriors; but we felt that it would be much safer to assume the grave asp-ct of diplomatists discussing a great international question. THR NOBLE RED MEN. We were in presence of sovereign Indians; gen- tlemen in blankets, whom the United States treat as representatives of distinct nationalities; haughiy i scornful beggars, filthy from their toes to thetr eyes and warriors every one; miserable-looking scoundrels tie majority of them, but delegates from bands that defy the whole power of the great Republic; @ dirty pack of bloodthirsty rascals, ready at all times to die for glory; courageous on the Plains, cowardly in the woods; the blood of infants on their hands, their breasts bear- ing the silver medals of the Great Father; natural orators many of them, natural liars ever one of them. Three rows of contradictions, a circle of inconsistencies—their characteristics are shown in their dress, Here are to be seen all the colors used in the manufacture of wearing apparel most curiously mixed up. Except the warriors, sitting statue-like on their horses, not two are dressed alike, The Indian in the big boots has no hat; he with the hat is barelegged and barefooted; the savage who is naked to the walst glories ina patr of black trowsers, minus the seat; but all are swathed in blankets or squat in them. Every well-to-do savage has his breastplate of hair- pipe suspended trom his neck, This hair pipe is made in New Jersey by some cute individual who retains the secret of its manufacture—perhaps be- cause there is no secret in it. It resembles com- mon clay pipe, but is smoother and harder, and costs the Indtan fifty cents an inch, The value ofa breast-plate of this pipe averages between sixty and seventy dollars, It looked well over the scarlet and beaded robes in which the mounted warilors were dressed, OPENING OF THE COUNCIL. The pipe of peace having thrice passed from hand to hand, Mr. Jones addressed the council, demand- ing a patient hearing for the Commissioner who was about to speak to them, The old men essayed a “Hear! hear!” in the form of a combined grunt and growl (Um! ah!) that cannot well be expressed in words, and then Captain Alvore commenced his harangue. The guard of honor leant forward on their horses’ necks and listened with great interest. The Commissioner said that he came direct from the Great Father to speak good words and to tell the truth, He hoped that the Great Spirit would direct all present so that the truth only would be spoken. He then referred to his former inter- course with them at Fort Cobb, when he told them that the Great Father would feed and clothe the good Indians, but would fight and whip the bad ones, It turned out as he said. Many good Indians came into the reservations and were well cared for, but others kept out; the soldiers got after them and they sufferel (Um! ah!) The captain then re- viewed the conduct of the Indian tribe since he was here last and commented upon the depreda- tions this Summer, He said that the Great Father saw that this thing must stop (Um! ah!) and he sent him out to tell them 80, because they knew him. He was sorry t®at the Kiowas and Cheyennes did not come to the council, for he was sent to all. He hoped to say something to make them glad, and perhans he might say more to make them sorry; but they must remember the words are from the Great Father direct. (Um! ah!) They were not to forget that he (Alvord) was thelr friend and told astraight story. (Um! ah!) ASA-HABIT'S SPEECH. When this was interpreted there was another period of silence, and the Indians looked as grave as owls. Then Asa-Habit (Shaking Hand) arose, and, approaching the table, shook hands with us and began to speak with much deliberation, He said he was very tired and would not say much. He was pained to see that the white people were not doing what he thought they should, and his heart was worn out. All the people about were his friends; they had not been treated properly. To-day he feit glad; he saw Cap- tain Alvord here, and hoped that things would take amore favorable turn. The white chiefs we have had, he continued—generals and captains—were full of lies and deception. (Um! ah!) Now you (Alvord) have come here, and 1 hope you will do more for my red brethren than has been done, that they may keep on the right road. You say you have no lies in you. We will see be- fore you go and know whether you have or not. (Um!) If the Friramer would do something for me— (um !)—build me a good house—it would encourage my brethern to follow the right road. I suppose that Washington (the President 1s so called by the Indians) is a great and good man, and sent a great and good man to us as proof of his good intentions. If Washington would give us Cae agents like you it would be better, The old agents are Marr bre wee and grunt- roans)—and all the sap of kindness and generosity ot oozed out of them, That's all at present. (Um! ah!) INDIAN DIPLOMACY. Big Red Something-to-Eat then got up and echoed and endorsed Asa-Habit, except as to the house for the latter, a subject on which he did not care to dwelt at length Mate very well that Asa- Habit was merely fencing and did not want a bet- ter shanty than he now has), and there was an- other long pause, It was quite clear to every one of us that the Indians would not take the Initiative, and that the Commissioner had better play his hand without more ado, Accordingly the Captain got up and spoke at considerable length and with great good sense—from a white man’s point of view. He told them how the Great Father gov- erned his white children, punishing the guilty and protecting the good, and incidentally alludea to the rebellion as @ case in point. When a cul- prit escapes, he further explained, and is secretad and protected and not given up to justice, the Great Father holds all the people who com: bined to save that culprit as guilty as he. (Um! ah!) When a whole tribe gets bad he hunts them and fights them until they get good again. (Ironical smiles round the circle.) The Great Father wants tobe at peace with all his children—red, white and black. (Cm! aht) He says if any red children are bad he'll treat them as other bad children. (Um!) Captain Alvord then mentioned recent in- stances where property stolen from the Indians was restored to them by the government and the thieves captured and locked up. Now, when the Indians rob white men they will be shut up, too, and the property retaken. Satanta ana Big Tree are locked up in Texas for their bad deed, but they were alive and well. (Um! ah!) LEX TALIONIS, These are the words of the Great Father to you. If the whites misbehave (go bad) I will shut them up. (Ah 4 If the red men about you go bad tell me me and I willshut them up. (Um!) Washington says that the red man must have his country and the white man his, The white man must not go into the red man’s country, nor the red man into the white man’s country. The Commissioner then defined the boundaries of the Indian country, except in one inp tee par- ticular—the disputed ground southwest of the north fork of the Red Biver, The government as well as the Indians are {f a muddie concerning this section, and Captain Alvord’s failure to explain it made a bad impression. The chiefs evinced @ disposition to raise @ debate on it, (ge to pump the Commis- sioner dry; but Mrs. Keith, the half-breed interpre- ter of the Arapahocs, with great good sense averted that calamity. WARMING TO THE WORK. Tab-a-nanacka (“His Name ts Sun"), Comanche, Saw his opportunity here. Gathering up tho folds of his blanket and resting his tomahawk in the hoilow of his left arm, he struck an attitude and be- gan ‘All these Fone are my friends, | have kept out on the Plains because the whites were bad. Now you (pointing to Alvord) come here to do good, you say, and yet the first thing you do is to pen us up in a narrow territory. 1 would ratuer (with great vehomence) stay out on the Plains and eat dung than come to on such conditions, Um! ah! Il wasonthe warpath, but now am not; but I ‘twant to hear such talk about having me ned ap on a reservation.” Um! ah! Captain Alvord promptly explained that the boundary lines were not for him, as his tribe were not parties to the agreement he spoke of, and con- tnued:—vThe Great Father is in earnest and 1s now turning out white people from the Cherokee Nation. Little Raven can tell yout that.” y's. Keita (for Raven) —0, yes. aptain Alvord continued:—“The Great Father says that you must now say which road you will take. You must cither Keep within your own Lines and remain at peace, or stay out and be at war, Those who want to be at peace must come in and stay near the agencies, If you do this you will be taken care of a8 you were at Fort Cobb; but i encircling brush and kept the flies inmotion. ‘The chiefs were already in position. Fronting the table | were the Yam rom ko Caiuancies, ‘Ten Bear, | Iron Mountain, Little Crow, Gap-in-the- Woods; and close by them Chewing Fik or Quirto-Quip. To the right of these sat, smoking the pipe of peace, the representatives of the Arrapa ttle Raven, | Big Mouth, Yellow Bear, Leit Hand, spotted Wolf, Curiey, White Crow, Yellow ii nd Little Neck, | and on their extreme leit Mrs. hai | breed, who lives with them and acts » inter- | preter, This lady is sallow-faved, tali aud thin, and wears @ faded, straight up and down Polly Varden Opposite the Arrapahoes, on the left of the tabi and on the outer edge of the cirgie Of chiels, sat r, chief of the Apaches; Taw-Haw, head w man, and seven minor dignitaries of tribe; Horseback, Milky Way, Mowway and Hoine, of the Comanches; Black Louver, of out don't want this peace the Great Father will you ow,” (Um! ah!) “CHOOSK YB THIS DAY.’ Tf you do choose to fight aud be bad you will he poor and hongry, and will dwindle away until there nothing leftofyou.

He wanted tw or three chiefs, and pone men each band and tribe to with iim to Washington to see the Great Father and take him by the hand, They would be gone only one moon and be brought safely back. Little Raven and Buftale Good have been there, and they will tell you how well they were treated, Now, remem- ber what I have sald, and let me have your an- swers to-morrow, George Washington, the Caddoe chieftain, then ngiish, but so broken that I was, spoke in broken found it impossible to put it 4 however, a warm endorsement of what the Com- missioner had said. The Council then broke up, and soon swarmed around our camp in search 0 more food, LITTLE RAVEN, CHIEF OF THE ARAPAHOES, 18 @ wise Indian in his day and generation, anda fine fellow. He strikingly resembles Henry Ward Beecher in faee and head, and when warmed up is as great a master of jaworeaking Arapahoe as the eminent Brooklyn divine is of flowing English, He got the Nearway party nto my tent in tne eve- ning and literelly talked to them hke a father. His argument in favor of the ‘good road” was logical if not convincing. In substance it was this:— “0 brother Mow-way! you are now rich and prosperous; you have many herds and horses without number, You are wellable to go to war 1 know; but, O brother Mow-way, why wait until war scatters your herds and horses and leaves you poor before making peace? Make war only when you have no-heap-et to lose! Make peace when you have much-e-heap-et to preserve |’ As Captain Cuttle remarked, “The wisdom of this hobservation lies in the ‘hanplication of it.” Little Raven, it is to be hoped, will not have croaked in vain, CAUCUSING IN THE woons. Long after our friends had let us we heard the Indians Aebaling Among themselves the questions put to them by the Commissioner, and high above all the clarion voice of Buffalo Good, the most dis- tinguished orator and the biggest blackguard of the Wacco tribe, The talk in council about the painful emotion of the Great Father's mind on account of the erratic conduct of his red children was hardl; the subject of debate. They hear that sort of stu every year, and as for gompelling them to come on the reservation and chew poor pork and tame beef, they believe that the Great Father is only joking, Itis only a way he has of talking to his red children every Fall, But what did occupy their [ded ininds, I ascertained to my satisfaction, was he proposition to take much heape Indion Fast. It was a tempting offer,as Buffalo Goad well knew, and not to be treated with the same disdain as the other propositions of tho Great Father, and in this faith we slept. THE SECOND DAYS! PROCERDINGS. Saturday morning found usin the same predica- ment as on Friday. Every Indian wanted food and presents, and not one expressed the slichtest con cern about the council, A liberal Supply of pro- visions was given out, and when that heavy busi- ness was disposed of dark clouds covered the sky and it began to rain, It cleared, however, at noon, and the same old taterdemalion who yelled for us the previous day was hunted up and sent howling through tie woods, cursing and exhorting the lazy. bucks to hurry to the council and drink wisdom from Washington's ever flowing foun- tain, It seemed, though, that he had a hard tine of it, for when we reached the grounds, at half-past twelve, a few sBquaws, papooses and cur dogs were the only occu- pants of apie But the chiefs dropped in one by one, and finally we got to work. Surely the In- dian is aborn diplomatist, The conduct of the chiefs during this second day’s powwow was exceedingly skilful. They dodged the main issue in their speeches most admirably and endeavored to throw the blame of the existing condition of affairs on the whites very ingeniously, as will be asen by their speeches, all of which ‘ive in substance. A few of the lesser lights in their eagerness to follow the crafty course of the big chiefs overdid the thing, and then they were amusing. Old Ten Bear's com- plaint was most pathetic, MORE STRONG TALK, Captain Alvord commenced the proceedings by repeating what he said on the previous evening, but, inmore emphatic language, and added, “The Great Father is determined that this killing and raiding must stop. It takes a long time to make him angry, but he isangry now. (Um! ah!) He waited three years, but will walt no longer. He wants to know who are his friends and who are his enemies, (Um! ah!) He will help his friends and punish his enemies. (Um! ah!) ‘This decisive language was not well received, but it seemed to have some effect, especially with those Indians controlled by the Kiowas. The Commissioner called upon the tribes to declare themselves at once, and very wisely selected the civilized Indians to speak first. Black Beaver, or Captain Beaver, as ne is sometimes called, then came forward aud spoke. His effort was, of course, in favor of peace. He has a good store near this agency, draws annu- {ties from both branches of the Delaware tribe and rations from the government. Instead of tak- ing his beet in small quantities he waits until he is entitled to 1,000 pounds, and then trots from the agency to his fields a good fat cow. He is an in- telligent man and is much respected. The govern- ment is under great obligations to Beaver. It wag he who guided the United States regulars out of the Indian Territory in 1861, leaving his farm to be destroyed by the Texan rebels. Wah-Loupee, of the Caddoes, a stunid-looking chief; Iron Eye and George Washington, of the same tribe, declared for the peace policy, taking their cue from Beaver, and urged the Indians pres- ent to follow their example. The Witchitas were represented by Sa-da-wah, and he was of the same mind; but he thought his people were not well pro- vided for. THE WACCORS, Buffalo Good spoke the sentiments of the Wac- coes. He was no liar, He chet Hy kept on the right track. (Laughter.) He intended to keep on the same road. (The rascal has several horses now belonging to Texans, who are here after them, and refuses to give them up.) He thonght the Yaw-pa- ries ought to keep their young men at home, for they are wealthy. More fone ought, in his opinion, to be given to the Indians to keep them quiet. Buffalo concluded a lengthy harangue by paying a handsome and, po doubt, weil deserved compliment to Agent Richards. To-wack-anie Dave, Buffalo's lieutenant general, expressed his preference to peace and his satisfaction with every- thing. THE ARATATOES, ‘This friendly tribe was well represented. Little Raven spoke first, Mrs, Keith interpreting what he said into English and Mr. McClusky pol it into Comanche, the court language. His speec! was somewhat different in tenor trom that of the previous evening; but Raven is astatesman. He said that he went home last night and neld a coun- cil of his people, and that they agreed to take the white road marked out for them by the Commissioner. “I. am an old man,” he sald, “and I hope the young men present will listen to my words. I will take it as a favor. Tell them (to bg By Washington that my heart is good and that all here are good. (Um!) Don’t forget what is said, Everything should be done straight, I DON'T WANT ANY MORE SOLDIERS here in this country. (Um! Ah!) If they are taken away the young men will be quiet, J am just on the edge of the white man’s road. I got there when I went to Washington, but I have not got fully on tt yet. (Um! Ah!) Spotted Wolf and Yellow Bear echoed what Raven had said, and then Big Mouth, the funny man and orator next to Raven, had his say. He was even more profuse in his promises than the civilized In- dians. But there was one thing he wanted tye Great Father to do before nis heart would be en- tirely good—he wanted Camp Supply broken up and the soldiers removed. THE COMANCHES were next inorder. o-sho-way spoke first. He was glad to hear that the land was to be theirs, but he was sorry to hear of the possibility of arrests being made; not that he feared to be locked up himself, for he was on the good road; but he was concerned about his brethren outside, who were not wise. Straight Jacket came noxt. He knew that some of the Comanches were not as good as ay might be, but if the government had patience with them they would be better, Esse-tu-it was for eace at any price, at least that was the drift of his lew remarks. Now came one of the Staked Plains Comanches, a lieutenant of the Bear, in the person of Black Horse. This is THE MOST BLOOD-THIRSTY SCOUNDREL ON THE PLAINS, Not very long ago he murdered aman at Fort Cobb while he was asleep in fancied security. He has a small face, atin, On Sta Gok Ha Atel a large sensual mouth, Qn this occasion he look hideous, His facs—8xcépt acroks ie é, that tract of mud was yellow asa kite's ¢ eas adark blue, and his long hair too! s it had been struck by lightning, He wore no shoes or moccasins, but carried a fine stiver-mounted six- barrelled revolver. “1 live,” he said, “on the Staked Plains, where I see nv white men. You are tryi to make one rule for the guidance ofallred men. (Um! hI don’t see why I should talk. I don't know what the other chiefs on the Plains think.’”’ MILKY WAY followed. THe said that all these talks built up abig ile, but he noticed they fell down again betore nished, He thought the Indians wanted to take the white man’s road, but he had no evidence of the hap faith of the white man. Ie looked around and he could see bo pres@ts for the young inen. (Ab! um ! ah!) mean council. anywhere. He considered this a poor little His eyes saw nothing good about He wanted more liberality on the iw ilky of the white men, White Horse supported Milky Way, but did not commit himself, A SUGGESTION FOR THE INDIAN DEPARTMENT. Gap-in-the-Woods was the next speaker. The present Management of the agencies was, in his opinion, very Unga tistactory. He wanted a store for “Ms band, filled full of good things, with an Indian as trader. Then, the government oucht to ive them some preenbacks to buy things from the ndiantrader. He considered himeelt civilized, and he didn't want war. As far ag he could see, some of the Comanches were foolish; they were not on the man's road yet, but are on tie way. What was wanten now Was presents. He Was afraid he would be blamed by his young men because tere Ww no presents. Another thing bore heavily on eart—the soldiers were hot sent away yet as they should be. GREAT CHIEF TEN DE Ten Bear came up siniling and shook hands with the whites with great animation, aniMing his nose and winking his one eye excitediy, Catning down a little, he placed his battered Greeley hat further back on his t, and, putting his cw cious stomach against the table, cleared throat and prepared for amighty effort. Just at this critical moment, however, @ curious, wizen- faced little Witculta, in & claw-haumer coat, but ho leggings, and wearing a large hat turned up at the sides, crawled out before the orator and said some- thing which sounded very much like “Yer-no-go-in- to-do-it—yeu, Are ye?” The effect of this arition told badly on the nerves of Ten Bear, and he panted for breath. After a pause he managed to proceed, ‘This was his speec! GIVE ME SUGAR OR GIVE ME DEATH. “You have got no presents for the young men, and that is ba ly heart is good, and I follow the white mi road, I want a house like the ite men’s houses and a barrel of sugar in tho middle of it.

Tam ap old man. | am now nearly dead of old age, and I never yet had a whole barrel of sugar. (Um! Ah!) The Texans make all the trouble; they ought to be moved away.” “HARD NAME" AND “ITARD OASE.”* At this stage of the proceedings a wild-looking youth, leaning inst a tree opposite the Commis- sioner, intimated that he wanted to go to Washing- ton, Whether it was Ten Bear's alarming account of the condition of the sugar supply that atiected him, or ete ae visions of eastern magnificence, born of Buifaio Good's elognence, I am unable to say. He is known to the Reus whites as “Hard Name.” It would be as well to call him “The-young-man- with-the-name-unfit-for-publication,” Interpreter son calls him “Hard Case,” and I think that its exactly, Shaking Hand spoke after this matter had been disposed of. It was @ continuation of the yester- day's whine, “When,” he said, “the Indians in here are better treated than we are outside it will be time enough to come in. I was promised lots of things, but J don’t see them. 1 am in the right road, but hoping for better days with the whites, 1am glad when I hear of the wise conduct of the inside Indians.” Tron Mountain was on the high road from the West to Washington. He hoped that all woulda be wel The wise words he heard sank deep io his eart. VERY “PLAIN? LANGUAGE, “His-name-is Sun,’ one of the Kiowa party, sald :— “phe good Indiaus have made me good. "The s0l- diers are running about and [ don’t like it. I am like a poor wolf trotting about from place to place; IT am humble and not a chief. I aid know some- thing about raiding, butl don’t now.

At present I prefer remaining out on the Plaing 0 coming on the reservation. I have heard pT deal about peace and friendship and the white man’s road here to-day. That was good from the Arapahoes and Caddoes; spoken by all the others it was lies and deception. ‘The Kiowas and Qua-ha-das do not inciude all the raiders. The other Indians hill and rob as wellas they. ‘The chiefs can’t keep the young men quiet, and all this talk amounts to nothing, This brave spoke his piece as if he believed what hoe was Gente and it fell on the council like a wet blanket. ‘Quirt-s-Quip, a chief of the Yam-pa-ricas, then stoo ap and declared for the white man’s road, as everybody expected. Se THE APACIES were next called upon, the wt of Comanche chicfs having been exhausted, er, the head chief, spoke first. He said he hoped the young men would do right; as for himself, he was determined to keep the peace. He did not come to the council to ask presents (this was a hit at Shaking Hand), bat In the interests of peace. He was willing to go to Washington, and when he got there he hoped the Great Father would give him permission to pur- chase ammunition, Pacer concluded abruptly, and then we had a lively Indian dog fight, which was highly enjoyed by the redskins, Cnie(s and all. Hard C@se acci- dentally trod on the under dog's tall; there was a ery of “Foul!”? and the snarling curs were turned over to the squaws for punishment, Noah, an Apache chief, made the last speech. It was, he said, his first speech in council, He lis- tened to all the talk, but heard little to the point. He could not understand the sileace of the chiefs as to what they intended todo. His course was clear, He wanted peace; and he was ready, with three others of his tribe, to go to Washington. ‘There were only a few of the Apaches left now, and the sooner they were all on the reservations the better. WINDING UP THE BUSINESS, Captain Alvord made the closing speech and used very plain language. “I have listened to all the talk,’ he said, “and itis just what we have heard for years, Every Fall you say you are re- solved to take the right road, The Great Father can get these promises at any time. Now he wants you to prove to him your sincerity. (Um! ah!) You must do it, (Um!) Ifyou do not he will think you are lying to him. You must believe and ebey your agents; come in closer to the agents or you will be certain to get into trouble; the young men must not be allowed out— (um! ahl)—if any do go out the soldiers will follow them and drive them back. (Um!) The only safe way is Lo stay in and obey the orders of your agents. It Indians take the bad road you must not aid them with food, arms, shelter or any- thing. (Um!) Ifyou do the Great Father will treat you as enemies. (Ah!) The Great Father says Turther that you will have to assist him if he wants you. (Um! ah!) You will have to give uP the horses stolen from soldiers and citizens. (Um! ali!) The Great Father will not be satisfied with talk. He wants to see you himself, Every tribe and every band must have its representatives in Wash- ington When they get there they need not talk it they have nothing to say.” (Ah! um! ah!) ny chiefs and braves signified their intention to go Last. Their names were taken down, tnstructions were given them as to the time and place of meet- ing for the stayt across to the Big River and the council was adjourned sine die, In the meantime our tents were struck and weapons loaded and in half an hour we set out for this agency, intend- ing to take the northern train in the morning for Cheyenne. I met with an accident on the way, spraining my back pay; and was unable to go wita Captain Alvord to visit the Cheyenne agency. He will be back probably to-morrow, and then we wili set out, by way of Fort Sill, for the East. DEATH OF COMMISSIONER PARISH, Very sad news comes from Fort Sill to-night by special courier. Professor Edward Parish, one of the two Commissioners to the Indians whom we leit very ill at Friend Tatum’s, died last night at six o'clock. He has been suffering very much from dysentery all along the tiresome route from Lawrence, Kan., and finally he was attacked with fever, which prevails in this Seog and suc- cumbed to its persistent attacks. It is a sad ending to a long and useful life. 1 have not heard what arrangements have been made at the Fort for the funeral, or whether an attempt will be made to remove the remains to Philadel- phia. The messenger that brought the melan- choly intelligence went on to Cheyenne, and of course Captain Alvord will hasten back to take charge of the body. THE METIS DISASTER, A Message from the Seca from One of the Victims. A bottle was picked up on Friday last, near Wood's Hole, containing a letter dated August 30, infwhich the writer says he was a passenger on the steamer Metis, wrecked on that morning, and that he was then onaraft alone. After stating tnat he had a wife and two children, he concludes the let- ter as follows :— “It is lonely to die without friends near you in such a place as this. May God have mercy on me, Tam a native of Newcastie, Pa.; am not afraid to die; tell my friends this. So, goodby all, All alone; all alone. (Signed) CHARLES H.

NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1872,—TRIPLE SHEET. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. pea OMARLES STEARNS, of Boston, has written a book on “The Black Man of the South and the Rebels,” soon to be published by the American News Com- pany. Count Mourre’s officis! account of the war is in great demand, and the printers have had to work night and day to fill orders. The proceeds of the sale go to swoll the Emperor William Fund, which 1g devoted to the relief of sufferers by the war. A VOLUME oF LzIon Hunr’s fugitive writings has been gathered up by Mr. J. E. Babson, and will be published by Lee & Shepard, with the title “Wish- ing-Cap Papers,’” LONGFELLOW’S Porm, “HtawaTua,” has been “upset” into German by Professor Karl Knortz, of Jena. A LrreraRy JoURNAL announces that Haw- thorne’s suppressed novel, “Fanchon,” will shortly be published by Osgood & Co,, along with several forgotten papers by this distinguished writer, ex- humed from the Demooratic Review, the New Eng- land Magazine, the Salem Gazette and Graham's Magazine. Correct, only the novel was’nt “sup- pressed,’ but only unacknowledged, and its title was not ‘“‘Fanchon,” but “Fanshawe.” A SPLENDID VOLUME is Elijah Walton's “Peaks in Pen and Pencil for Students in Alpine Scenery,” just out in London, and photographically illus- trated. SHAKSPEARE has successively had to sustain the character of a schoolmaster, lawyer, soldier, sailor, farmer, surgeon anda dozen other trades and pro- fessions, and has been proved satisfactorily to the minds of several writers to have been well versed in alchemy, botany, music and all the ologies, But it has remained for Mr, Blades, the eminent Cax- tontun, to prove that Shakspeare was one of his own craft—a printer. In the volume just issued by Messrs, Trttbner it 1s clearly shown that Shaks- peare, when he first arrived in London, called upon his fellow townsman Field, who had married the daughter of Vantroller, a printer, and had suc- ceeded him in his business, Here, then, Shaks- Peare, as press reader or as shopman, or as both, remained for four years, and became master of the terms, “reprints,” “‘title-pages,”’ “preface,” “typo,’? “nonpareil,” ‘broadside, ‘“locking-up,” “regis. ter” and “printer's devil,” all of which are to be found in lus works, Tuk LONDON LiTeraRy JOURNALS are all lament- ing that the production of books is fairly at an end or the time being, pending the heated term, and our American specialists in literature re-echo the complaint, A History OF THE TOWN oF WHATELY, MASS., from 1660 to 1871, by Rev. T. H. Temple, is just issued from the press of T. R. Marvin & Son, Boston, PRINCE BISMARCK is now engaged at Varzin in writing his own life. THE JACKSON STREET MURDER. Investigation on Thursday.
