Washington, May 28.- -The Presi
dent promised Red Cloud that ho
would hold a council with him this
afternoon and listen to his griev
ances. Accordingly Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail went to tho Interior De
partment for that purpose, but the
President sent word that, lie was un
able to be there. lie said that Red
Cloud might tell all lie had to say to
tlie Secretary and Commissioner. The
Secretary, however, was absent, and
the talk was with Assistant Secretary
Cowen and Prof. Marsh. Rod Cloud,
after telling how lie and his people
had been swindled by tho agents,
said: “When I came to Washington
first, the President told me he would
give me an agent, and 1 must look
out for him, and if he did not please
me, to bring him back, and that he
had a great many men, and would
give me a good one. 1 have brought
him back for you to consider the mat
ter. I want the Great Father to hear
me, and give a good and wise man
for an agent. 1 don’t want a West
ern man, but a man from the East.,
and a wealthy man. These Western
men fill their pockets, and when their
pockets are full, they fill their hats,
and then say, ‘Goodby,’ and go away.
I want a man with a good heart as
well as bruins.”
The Pennsylvania MtriklnK Miner* Nur
comti.
Pottsville, Pa., June 2.--A dis
patch from Mahoney City, confirms
the report that some of the miners
had gone to work at one of the Col
lieries of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Company, at
that place this forenoon at tho re
duced rate of wages offered hy the

A dispatch from Tremont, this af

ported for work this forenoon at
the East Franklin colliery near that
place, at the reduced wages offered.
Several furnaces that have long
been idle will resume work soon.
The prospects for business generally
are brightening, and a decided im
provement in the Coal and Iron trade
will probably soon develope itself.

honor of the dedication of their new
temple, corner of Twenty-third stroot
and Sixth avenue. Lodges, Com
mauderies, and delegations from all

the display of rich regalias made a
truly gorgeous spectacle. Tlio day
was everything that could be desired.
At at 8 o’clock the different Lodges
and Commanderies began to assem
ble at tho different points designated,
and at the hour appointed everything
was in readiness. At 9 o’clock pre
cisely three guns wore fired in quick

was headed by n squad of mounted
police and two platoons of infantry;

by tho Grand Lodge, to Canal street,
thence to Broadway, thence up and
through various streets, finally reach
ing Masonic Temple, whore tho divi
sions were dismissed and the dedica
tory services commenced.
, The procession was tlie finest civic
display ever witnessed. It was over
live miles long, and occupied two
hours and a half in passing a given
point. Along the lino of march tlie
Knights went through many evolu
tions, eliciting much applause. The
view was magnificent on Broadway.
In every direction flags of tlie differ
ent Orders were Hying, and the street
was crowded. Some of tho banners
carried wore of Avery rich and gorge
ous description. There were a great
many carriages in tho lino .with the
grand oflicers of the Order.

We infer from your correspondence

(Signed j Isaac Hinckley,

To Inane Hinckley, President, etc.,
Philadelphia:
My telegram to President Garrett
yesterday was intended to advise him
of the prospective danger of delays
in tlio mails between Washington and
New York, and the probable necessi
ty of a change, should delay occur. I
have no knowledge yet of sunti de
tention, and will not, now give in
structions to change tlio present ar
rangement of transportation.
[Signed] M. Jewefl.
Tho morning mails for New York
were sent from here as usual by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
delay caused by the actual transfer
at Philadelphia is not considered so
serious as the delay arising from tho
fact that, an hour before arriving
there, two clerks are compelled to
begin tying up tho mails; and an
other hour after leaving is spent in
untying. This delay will prove too
much of an obstacle to permit a con
tinuance of the mails over this route.

are found in every Stato aid Territory, and its

standard, but to Improve and add to Its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to boa thor
ough nowspaper. AU the news of the day will be
found In it, condensed when unimportant, at
Rill length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to mako tho Weekly Sun the best
family newspaper in tlie world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the moat
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly

feature in the Weekly Hun, and its articles Will
always bo found fresh and useful to tho fkrmer.
Tho number of mon independent in politics is
increasing, and the Weekly Sun is thoir paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, aud lor tho
eleotion of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces tho country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of kuaves, and seeks no fkvors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
aro regularly reported.
Tho price ef the WEEKLY SUN is ouo dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, aud fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays tho expenses of paper

mako special efforts to extend its circulation.
