Washington, June 2.-The Presi-
dent had "a council with the Indians,
at the Interior Department, to-day,
the press and all outsiders were ex-
eluded. The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs gives the following synopsis of
the Interview:
The President explained the agree
ment that had been drawn up, relin-
gushing their right to hunt in Ne
braska, and reserying to them the
country north OF the Niobrara River
outside their reservation. All the
country north OF the North Platte is
considered as urceded territory; by
this, they give up portion of this
country, and reserve the part where
the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agen-
cies Rre located. He said the S25 900
were for presents. and to be given in
money; he offered to allow them to
name person to receive the money
and buy such things as they wanted
he expressed desire to see them well
provided for during his term of office,
and asked them to consider the ques-
ton of removing to the Indian Terri
tory. Spotted Tail said the govern
ment was asking too much, aud that
certain portion of their country had
never been ceded, and wanted to
know when they were to be paid for
that; he alluded to the section which
they still intended to retain. He de-
clined to sign the agreement, and said
he would &" home to his people and
send word back what he would do.
He was told the money would lapse
into the Treasury on June 3Oih, and
he asked if some one here could hold
the money until he could return to
their country and send word back
what his people would do. The Pre-
sident was finally compelled to leave,
the I1dians having declined to sign
the agreement. n-

A Very Neat Hotel.

The painters at the Harper House are
nearly through with their work. Com
mencing last fall, they have been at work
ever since, painting the walls, ceilings and
wood work of every room and hall in the
house. There is not papered room in
the whole house-no place for vermin to
hide. Every crack, crevice and joint in
every room and hall are filled with putty
or plaster and the whole painted and var
nlshed. We venture to say that there is
not hotel in the United States which can
compare with the Harper in point of
cleanliness. Weary travellers know how to
appreciate this fact.
The house has steadily growing in popu
lar favor and enjoys solid reputation,
second to no house in Illinois, outside
Chicago. tits matter of pride to our To-
cality to have such house in our midst.

Cure For Smuggling,

The New York board of trade has hit
the nail on the head in It's resolutions con-
corning the prevalence of smuggling at
that port. 1t declares that the evil is due
to two causes,-a demOralized civil SER
vice and an "extortionate and exorbitani'
tariff. 1t says the most effective remedy
would be the establishment of a tariff for
revenue alone. And it concludes by tx
pressing it's protest against THE degrad-
ing immortality of the wholesale trade in
struggled goods by the merchants of this
ty."-that is of New York. 1t is a mat
ter of mathematical demonstration, says
the Chicago Tribune, that high tariff
and smuggling are cause and effect.
When the profit to he gained by evading
the customs laws more than pays for the
risk, the risk will infallibly be run. IF
England. with a small coast-line and "a
splendid system of revenue guards, could
not prevent or even sensibly decrease
smuggling until she replaced her protec-

coast-line thousands of miles long and a

ness in Christendon, outside of Spain
expect to do2 The New York board
of trade is right Let the tariff be
revised This is the first need; civil
service reform is the next At a meeting
of the New York importers of dry goods
few days ago, the chairman, Mr.. Johr
R. Waters, said: Whatever reform:
may be arrived at in mitigation of the diff
iculties which beset some honestly incline
importers, satisfactory solution of thu
smuggling question will never bt
attained until the country fully recogniz
es the impolicy of having departmental
officials superseded in their appointmen
for political reasons" This view has nov
been partially Endorsed by the accredited
Representative Of the whole mercantile
community of New York 1t is somewha
too sweeping, because the enactment of /;
revenue tariff would take away most of tn,
chances Of dishonest profit, but, if thi
could be coupled with that, the reform
would be complete. Revenue-reformer

We feel that we have not only been ben

been an intellectual treat.
Mrs Wheeler possesses rare accom-
plishments as lecturer, is lady of high
culture and a philanthopist in every
sense of the term. Her intimate
knowledge of the subjects discussed, her
aptness in practical illustration, her wo-
manly delicacy and noble enthusiasm, have
won our unbounded admiration, while the
Importance of her suggestions upon the
Laws of Health" and conditions peculiar
to our sex. call for our most grateful &C
acknowledgement.

A we'll informed gentleman of this city,
who has lately returned from a two months
tour through Nebraska and Western Iowa,
tells us that, judging from his own obser-
walton and from the conversation ofpersons
with whom he was thrown in contact, there
is no occasion for alarm concerning any
general devastation this year. Concern
ing the ravages of last year and the suffer
ings of the past winter, he says that they
have been by no means exaggerated. and
that no person who contributed to the re-
lief of the sufferers need be under appre
hension that his charity was unwisely be-
slowed or unworthily distributed Peoria

Gen. Grant and his family are preparing

here, Lincoln, Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore,
Polk, and Van Buren,, one and all, remain

won tstay, and his associates and interiors
follow his example.

arrived in this city. The sheriff was in
Chicago, with Attorney General Edsall,
and appeared before Judge Drummond.
The hearing of the case was postponed till
June 18th, as will be seen by our tele-
graphic columns. We trust that our state
authori tes will insist upon the right of
the state to collect taxes without any inter
ference of the federal authorities.
