A Big Pow-wow,
Lower Butte Agenoy,—via Cham
berlin, Dak., Sept. 25.—A council of
theSionx delegates with their agents
has met here to discus* the Sionx bill
for signatures. They met to day for
their second day's work. The bill
hav irg been fully explained by the
commissioners yesterday, the Indians
were io-dy expected to state their ob
jections or opinions, and to ask for any
needed information or reference. Af
ter a number of Indians had spoken,
some in a non committal fashion and
others openly favoring tbe bill, White
tiwao, CLarger, Svrilt Bird and Little
No Heart, of the Cheyenne Liver agen
cy, all fine looking men, dressed in
citizens' olothea, made good points
against the bill, and there was elo
quence and sound sense in much they
said. Their main objection! were:
First, fifty cents an acre is too small a
price, The standard government price
for Ibis kind of land is $1.25 an acre.
Second, the Flandie&n Indians, who
have sold all their own land have no
right to share in the benefits of this
land. Third, we are not yet ready
for land in severally. Fourth, we are
men like you, although we are not
white, and why should wo not be con
sulted beforehand in regard to the
terms of sale? We don’t liko to be
Compelled to sign papers just as it ib,
aor refuse altogether. Fifth, you said
the c bool promised for twenty years
from the treaty ot 1868 and tho pro
Tision exprires this year. We dun’t
think so. We haven't had the school
more than ten years.

iiiost aoaniinoubly that Hamlet was
and 0 her pigeon-toed nor bow-legged,
and that bis iegs were probab'y uot
in the calves.
This verdict seemed to settle the
matter. Miss Auna’s Hamlet was slow
ly but iimily withdrawn irons the
stage.
Now she has been engeged to make
some remarks for the republican party
in Indiana, and her appearance on the
stump seems to be aa injudicious as
her appearance on the stage. Accord*
itig to all acconnis she rants and
fumes, and frets with more freedom
thau any masculine speaker, and has
thus far disgusted all the thoughtful
people who, out of curiosity of sym
pathy, have been drawn to hear her.
She alludes to Mr. Cleveland who,
by virtue of his position, is the first
oitizen of the repblio, aa "the hang
man of Buffalo/ 1 and then proceeds to
annonnce that shs will “accept the
gage ut battle, though it be flung
down by the devil in hell, or hi* pres
ent emissary in power in this land
In the course of her chaste remarks,
Miss Anna ourses the slaveholders of
the’south, when there are no slave
holders of the south or of any other
part of the country.
If there is too much applause or noise
in her audience, the oharming Miee
Anna alludes to "discords of the deY
ils in hell." We judge from these and
other allusions that gentle Anna is a
wheel horse, a heeler and a thumper.
But age is telling on her; she is not
earning the money the republican earn
paigo are paying her; she can onss,
chew tobacco and spit red, but does
such a programme help the republican
party?
On the whole, we areveiy glad that
She has been selected as a republican
apostle; she can't pull Candidate Har

The Rev, Thad. Pickett has denied
the statement recently published that
he denounced his Methodist maternity.
The Blue Ridge Post publishes affida
vits which will call forth another state
ment from the roverned doctor. Here
is what the Post Buys:
"He denies that he said certain
harsh things ajainst the Methodists
Let us tee what he said about that
‘Methodist iniik.’ Here is an affida

Besides the above we have affidavits
of a similar character from Messrs A.

Birch, all of whom swear that they
heard Mr. Pickett make nse of the
language with which we charged him.
He, therefore stands convicted, and if
he denies it from now till doomsday,
it will not change the truth. Ht said
