Srovtan Tari Aguror, Neh, Sent 22, Via Sissy, Neb., Sept, 36, 1876, The GOrst council with the Sioux at Spotted Tail Agency with the fuil commission was held this afver- noon. Colonel Boone, as chairman, said:-—My friends, seven days since we sent down sume propositions to you that wore submitted to the people at Red Cloud, We bave come now to hear your answer, SrxKCH OF SPOTTED TAIL Spotted Tail said:—Wo bave come bere to meet you, my friends We have considered the words you brought us from the Great Father, and | have made up my wind. This is tbe dfth tm ords have come to us from the Great Father. at the time the first treaty made to borrow the overland roud of tho Indians, and though [ was a boy then they told me that promises wero made to last fiity years. These promises have not been kept. ‘he next conferonce we had was held with General Maynadeer, when there was no promise made, but we made friends and shook bands, PAST PROMISKS BROKE. Then there was the treaty made by General Sher- mau, General Sunboru and General Harney, when we were told we should bave annuitics and’ goods for thirty-five years, They said this, bat did not tell the truth, At that time General Sherman told me the country was mine and I should select any place l wished for my reservation. I said I would the country trom the head of White River to the Missouri. He said he would give us cows to raise cattic, mares to raise horses and oxen and wagons to haul logs with, to haul goods and carn money that way. He said, also, there should be issues of such things as we needed to learn the arts with, aud bosides that money to every one, He told useach of us should have $15 for an annuity, but I told them that was a bad amount; that we did not understand money and that it should be $20 to cach one, and he assented to that He told ine these things should be carried out, for me to goto the mouth of Whitestone and lo- cate my people, and those things should be fulfliled to me, but it was not true. When these promises failed tu be carried out I went myself to see the Great Father, and went to his house and told him these things. The Great Father told me to go home and select any place in my country I chose for my home, and go there and live with my people. I came home and selected this place and moved here. They told me if I would move here 1 should receive a {ulfiment of the promises made to me, but all L got was somo very small cows and some old wagons that were worn out, Again, last summer you came to talk about tho country, and we said we would consider the matter. We said would leave it to the Groat “Father for him to sottle. In reply to that ho has sent you out this summer, You have come to visit our land. And we now ask you how many years there are for us to My friends, you who sit be- fore mo are traders; are merchants, You have not come here to turn anything out of the way without paying for it, SENTIMENTS OF CIVILIZATION, When a man has as possession that ho values, and another party comes tw buy it, he brings with him such good things as be wishes to purchase it with, My friends, your people have both inteliect and heart; you uso these to consider in what way you can do the best te live. My ge ir who are here before you at precisely tho same. 1 sce that my triepds before are men of age and dignity, and men of thut kind ha good judgment, and consider well what they do, infer from that that you are here wo consider weil what shall be good for my people tor along time to come. I think each of you have selected somewhore a good piece of land for bimsel!, with the Intention to live on it that be may there raise his children, My people are not different. They also live upon the earth and upon things that come to them from above. We havo the same thoughts and desires in that respect that the white people have. Ths 18 the country where thoy were born, where they ve acquired all their property, their children and tone horses. You bave come bere to buy this country of us and it would be well if you would come with the goods yon have promised to give us and to put them out of your hand so we can see the good price you pro- pose to pay forit. Then our hearts wouid be glad. My people have grown up together with these white men, who have married in our tribe. A great many of us have learned to speak their Janguage ‘and our ebil- dron are with them in our sch and we want to be considered all one peuple with them. A MESSAGE TO THE GREAT FATHER, My friends, when you go back to the Great Father I want you to tell hita to send us gouds; send us yokes and oxen and give us wagons, 80 we can carn money by hauling goods from the railroad. Tits seems to mo to be a very hard day; half of our country is at war, and we have come upon very diflicuit times, This war did not spring up hero in our. land: it was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father, who came to take our land from us without price, and'who do a great many ovil things. The Great Father and bis children are to Dia for this trouble. We have here a storehouse to hold our pro- visions, but the Great Father sends us very Mite provisions to put into our storehouse, and when our people became displeased with our provisions and have gone north to hunt. the children of the Great Father are fighting them. It has been our wish tolive here peaceably, but the Great Fathor has filled it with soldiers, who think only of our death. Some of our le who have gone from here in order that they may change, and others who have gone north to haunt, have been attacked by soldiers from this direction, and when they have got north © been attacked by soldiers from other directions, and now when they are willing to come back the soldiers stand between them and keep them from coming home. It seems to mo there is a better way than this. When peopie come to trouble it is better for both parties to come together without arms, talk it over and find some peacetul way to eitle, You have mentioned to me two countries The Missouri River country I know, When we were there we had a great deal of trouble, Lilett hundreds more people buried there, The other country I have never teen, but I agree to go and Jook atit with fitty ot my young men. When this trouble commenced the Grea Father stopped the sale of ammunition, which has caused great suffering to my people, notwithstanding we are all sincere todo what ts good lor our people, My friend (pointing to General Van Dever), you area wise man. When you was here last spring you told me you would heip me. I want you todo it. ‘Swift Bear then said they wanted to consider until to-morrow.

I would like to have some femalo ministers come, dressed in black clothes, to receive the girls in ‘one house and teach them, and bave white man minis- ters, in Diack hat and coat, and take the boys to an- other house and teach them properly. These minis- tors I want to take the names of the things cent to ua, and when they come to see that they are ail there, Blue Teeth, Spotted Tail’s father-in-law, wanted to know who was the one to carry their words to the Great Father, and upon tho selection General Gaylord being pointed ont he handed him a handsomely deco- rated pipe and iobaceo pouch which he said the Great Spirit had given to him, He told General Gaylord to present it to the Great Father at Washington as from a man he heard speak at the council, and ask the Great Father to be mereital to the Indians and pity them ai help thom and to let them remain in their own country.

Raymond then went to Red Cloud and Red Dog, of Rea Ciond’s Agency, who were outside of the couneil room, and told them to go in and urge spotted Tail and his people to sign, They did sa, making short | motto for his play, trom Pope: but effective speeches, and then withdrew. Where- "pon Two Strike said:— REASON FOR MESITATINO. ‘The reason we are afraid to touch the pen and are silent before you is because we havo been deceived so many times before. If we knew the words you tell us were true we should be williug to sign every day. Then Spotted Tail adarcssed his people, saying:— SPOTTHD TAIL ASSENTS. “If our friends up above (reterring to the Red Cloud Agency) have not signed the treaty [ would help them in holding out, but as our friends up there have signed Task all good men who are trustworthy to come ap and sign.” Half an hour later the necessary tached and the treaty was made The Indians here all want tho present military agent removed and General Howard reinstated, MEXICO.

They wero, with the exception of the instrumental introduction the very selections published in the Henazp tho morn: ing after the first performance of the music drama in Bairuth. The deep attention of the audience and the hearty applause that followed the performance were a significant proof of tho interest taken by the American public in this, the latert ana grandest development in operatic music.

Tt has derived & now importance, outside of a purely financial wonder, in being regarded by tho republicans as an onerring political barometer, It is now taken for granted that the avidity with which itis being taken up isa sure sign of success for the republican Presidential ticket. Ithas called out this logic in administration circle: The foreign bankers and large capitalists of this country think, if there could possibly be a change of administration, and thereby the control of the financial policy of the government shoula be transferred to the democratic _ party, some unsettling of our securities might be involved, and our bonds would consequently not command such ready gale as has been iliusirated in the achieve- ment just accomplished by Secretary Morrill The logic gos even further in its assumptions, and claims that the democratic bondholders at large will not sup- port their own party if they seo that a change of admi-> istration is likely to result in a new policy affect- tng the stability of their investments and the sure pro- visions now guaranteeing the payment of their inter- eet, The administration therelore expect, as a matter of self-protection, that the moneyed classes of the dem- ocratic party, especially In New York, will co-operate with the republicans for the protection of their bonds, The Secretary of the Treasury thinks that if the coming elections result in the election of Hayes and Wheeler it will argue the popular approval and con- sequent continuance of the present financial policy of the republican party. The balance of the $30,000,000 of the four and a halt per cent loan will then go off, to uso his own expression, ‘Like not cakes,’’ and, with this cheering encouragement, he feels confident that steps can be immediately taken to fund the remaining $700,000,000 or $800,000,000 of the six per cents now outstanding into the four per cent loan authorized by the act of July 14, 1870, Asan illustration of how a stability of the present order of things is closely watched by foreign investors in United States securitios, Secretary Morrill stated, With @ suggestive smile, that prior to the passage of the resolution by the House of Representatives repeal- ing the Specio Resumption act he had been !n com- munication with the Rothschilds in regard to the four anda half per cent loan, and so sensitive were our creditors of the least thing likely to change the nature of things that they would immediately telegraph him urgently to know what it moant and what would be the eflect of it, to which ho replied that it did not amount to anything, becauso the democrats were driven into it, no doubt, by Hendricks, and, regarded legislation, 1t would fall with the sexsion. Sirangoly enough, a short timo iter this Mr, August Belmont | was at the Cine: pati Convention urging the approval | of this act, though by reason of his connection with tho Rothschilds ho was pecaniarily interested the other way if it should affect the character of American { credit abroad. Tho great aim of the government is now to provids most securely for the payment of the large amount Of interest on its bonds in 1882, and anything which would interfere with it, the republicans say, would be a source of grave significance to tho country. If the democratic party should be in the ascendancy then and should not provide tor such interest, it would be a great calamity and result inthe rain of the coun- try because our credit abroad would be gone. On the other hand, the democrats say they would not disturb the law but wold carry it outas faith. fully in order to protect their own iriends interested in the safety of United States bondaans sevure channois ot investment. The Treasury officials calculate that the disposal of the whole $300,000,000 uf the four and a halt per cent loan will take about a year, EX-SECBETARY BRISTOW CONSPIRING AGAINST PRESIDENT QRANT—THE REPORT PREPARKD BY MAJOR MOORE IN THE LINE OF HIS OFFICIAL DUTY AS SPECIAL AGENT. Tho despatch to a Baltimore paper of the 2ist beaded, ‘Does Bristow, as well as Scharz, humbly eat his lock?” and ono of similar import to a Boston paper to the effect that Special Agent W. B. Moore had prepared a statement reflecting severely npon ex-Secre- tary Bristow, and that it had been withbeld from publication by request of President Grant, is pronounced by competent authority to be entirely without founda. tion, The President had nothing whatever to do with it, Tno trath is that Major Moore has preparea no matter for pudlication referring to ex-Secrotary Bris- tow or bi: called conspiracy, bat in the prosecution of duties assigned to him Major Moore has made reports of an oficial character im reterenco to Mr. Bristow's perversion of his official authority to force the ofMfcers of his department, tn violation of civil ser- vice rules, to sustain him in his efforts to get the Cincinnati administration to use them through Biu- ford Wilson im building up a false and unjust public sentiments against President Grant. Copies of tnis, together with two other reports, showing gross violation of c1vil service reform, which leave no doubt as to Mr, Bristow’s true regard for public economy, have been filod in the Treasury Department, and will be made public at the proper time. GENERAL BABCOCK’S FRIENDS JUBILART—No | CASE AGAINST HIM MADE OUT—COMMENTS ON THE SUPINENESS OF THE DISTRICT at- TORNRY. The friends of General Babcock are jubilant to-night, and the general verdict passed by thom is that no case has been mado against him. The witness Whitley is pronounced upon all hands to havo been a trifer throughout, and is known to have announced that he was not going to swear to anything which would burt General Babcock. The only witness who is regarded as having mado an effort to injare him is Nowcome, 1t 18 anid he will, as soon as the trial Is over, pay the penalty of his enmity by losing his position as a detective under the Departmont uf Jas- Hee, ‘en the most positively opposed to Babcock’s acquittal, which is now looked upon as an assored fact, say a case might have been made against Babcock with reputable witnesses; but, assailed by such un. scrupulous and irresponsible characters, he shines out as an injured man before the public and is presump- tively innocent of any complicity with or knowledge of the safe burglary. Much sympathy has beon, thore- fore, aroused In favor of ueneral Badcock. Disappoint mene is felt that Mr, Riddle did not make out a stronger caso, and the supineness of District Attorney Wells, for prudential reasons, was noticeable from the star. anne pmeeanseens GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuixatos, Sopt. 26, 1876 THE SAVE. BURGLARY CASK—OPENING FOR TAR DEFENCE—GENERAL BABCOCK’S GOOD CHAR= ACTER ESTABLISHKD—HOW RX-CHIRF WHIT- LEY EXPECTED TO SAVE NIMBELF, To-day, in the Criminal Court, the trial of General Baboock and Thomas P, Somervillo, indieted on the charge of conspiracy in connection with the safe barglary, was resuined, Colonel William A. ook made the opening argw ment in detence of General Babcock, contending that his clieut was innocent; that he stood bis trial in St Louis, and had core home with a character fully vin dicated, and that his good namo bad been unstained, save by these indictments, Colonel Totten opened the argument in favor of hu client, Somerville, contending that Somerville’s con nection with the case was simply that of a lawyer and that he bad done nothing but what a professional gen- tlemnan would have done. Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, testified that he know Gene al Babcock for ten years and that his reputation before his indictment at St Louis was as good ng that of any man, Dr. J. B. Blake, formerly a member of the Board of Public Works, and who for many years held the same position that Babcock now holds, Snperinteudent of Public Buildings and Grounds, gave similar testimony. L. G. Hine, a lawyer, testified that he was engaged by Somerville to assist him in toe detenco of Benton; that they both agreed that the best thing Benton could do under the circumstances was to rn State evi- dence, and he was ased by the government as a witness, _4. ©. Nettleship was recalled, and testifled that far as ho knew Somerville know nothing of the safe case, and only appeared in it professionally, having beea em ployed by Colonel Whitley to aefend Benton, ‘x-Governor Shepherd testified that it was under the law Babcock’s duty to certify to the work dono ad Jacent to governmont parks and evenues, and that he (Shepherd) requested Babcock to have the work meas ured up as promptiy a8 possible. Tt was the intention of the defenco to close their case to-day, but owing to the non-arrival of several of their witnesses they will not be able to finish before to-morrow. Tho indications are that the case will be given to the jury to-morrow evening, provided the necessary witnesses arrive, and it is thought that tha rebutting evidence will be almost altogether docus mentary. Witnesses were then examined showing the good character and official integrity of General Babcock, P, Munson, of Chicago, testified that he left thts city on April 13; that he mot Colonel Whitley at tho Sy James Hotel xnd bad a conversation with him, during which the witness asked bin, “Are you on the squeal, too? Idd not think you woald squeal,’ and Whitley answered, “Tho fact is | had to squeal for to save my- solf. I had to put it on babeock.” Major Isaac S. Stewart testified that ho was present at the St, James Hote! and heard the conversation be- tween Major Munson and Whitley, as related by the fast witness, about Whitley’s squealing. Whitley said he had put Babcock in # holo and intended to keep bim there.
