NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE HeraIds Sioux
City special says the Indian Commission
reached there at noon Yesterday all we'll.
Councils were held with all of the different
bands of Indians as far as Fort Sulley. In
dian reservations were situated on the Big
Cheyenne river, and at the mouth of the
Nioborara. The Commission starts at once
for Omaha, and from thence to Fort Lara
NEE, to visit the hostile tribes.
The Herald's LeavenWorth special says
The Indians fired into a passenger train
six miles west of Fort Harker, yesterday
They had placed ties on the track, which
were removed by the pilot of the locomo-
tive, when about thirty-fve Indians rose up
from the ravine and poured volley into
the cara, without injury to any one.
A band of Cheyennes murdered three
men and one woman, at Pilumle Buttes, on
the Little Arkansas, few days since, and
a boy named Malone was served in the
same way, last Saturday, at Kaw creek,
nineteen miles west of Fort Harker.
The Herald says the developments of in
ternaI revenue frauds in Brooklyn are tax
ing a tangible shape, and are so wide in
their ramihcations, it is said, as even to i'm
plicate certain members Of the Washington
Cabinet, whose identity at present is con-
cealed. The proceedings in the revenue
board over these alleged frauds is said to
have been somewhat stormy, some of the
members offering to resign on account of
them; and Mr.. Rollins presence here at
one time was in furtherance of an investi-
cation of the subject
j. c. Allen, keeper of a warehouse on
Sedgwick street, where alleged frauds are
said to have been committed, was arrested
yesterday and held in twenty thousand dol
lars bail with charge of completely in the
alleged removal of twenty thousand gallons
of whisky. Mr.. Callicott, it is said, has
brought to the knowledge of the Washing
ton officials some very ugly matters relative
to the doings of his prosecutors. J. C.
Thompson, keeper of the bonded ware
houses Nos. 2, and Sedgewick street,
Brooklyn, was arrested and taken before
Commissioner Newton at the United States
Court, on the charge of being implicated
in the removal of twenty thousand gallons
Of whisky which had been placed in his
charge. He was held to bail in the sum of
twenty thousand dollars.
The Times special says it has been re-
peatediy stated that the dispatch of August
18th, from Gen. Grant to Gen Sickles,
which was printed Saturday last, completed
the correspondence. This is not the case.
There are one or two other brief dispatches
and letter from Gen. Grant to Gen.
Sickles, dated August oath, which being
understood by letter to be private, he has
not published, although Grant intended his
authorization to cover everything in this
letter. Gen. Grant commends the wisdom
of Sickles' acts.
A deputation OF officers and directors,
farmers and citizens of Brooklyn are in
Washington, endeavoring to induce the
Comptroller Of Currency to restore the
national bank Of that city to the managers,
on the ground that it is a public benefit,
and they offer, as directors, to guarantee
the Indebtedness of the bank, amounting to
over s., 100000, if the request is complied
with. There is great doubt if the Comp
troller has power under the law to suspend
proceedings, after they are once begun, and
the application of these parties is suspended
pending legal opinion on this point
Further correspondence relative to the
Alabama claims upon Great Britain is
made public. August p, 1866, Secretary
Seward sent to Mr. Adams summary of
claims of citizens Of the United States for
damages from privateers fitted out from
British ports, and requests that Lord Stan
ley may be informed that a settlement of
these claims has become urgently necessary
to the re~establishmenl of entirely friendly
relations between the United States and
Great Britain The hostile course of the
latter country during the rebellion is con-
trasted with the action of the United States
government toward the Fenian invasion of
Canada in the following words:
"Thus we have seen ruinous British
warlike expeditions against the United
States practically allowed and tolerated by
her Maiesty's government Notwithstanding
circumstances, and we have seen SINH
lar unlawful attempts in this country
against Great Britain, disallowed and de-
feated by the direct and unprompted action
of the government of the United States"
The Tribune's special says the President
will keep quiet until after the fall elections.
No Cabinet changes will take place till
after the Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
York elections. Probably the President
will suggest to district commanders that
the elections at the South all take place on
the same day.
