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.

The ciitics in tht nor hem ch’es oveilooxed the fret that Hi.n let was >it au I never could have been a worn n, but they announced al 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 Miss Auna’s Hamlet was slow ly but iimily withdrawn irons the stage.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 rison from under his grandfather's hat. —[Constitution. 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.
