the village OF Sioux, previously men
toned NJ coming IN with Spotted Tail,

Spotted Tail Agency. The village mum.
bered about one thousand persons, mainly
Sanssnaries and Minecoujous, under
Roman Nose and other chiefs. The In
dlsns asked permission 10 approach tho
agency In the style commonly used by
them upon entering friendly village,
which was granted them. About 10
o'clock tho wsrriors 10 tho number ot
three hundred, made regular chArg"
yelling and firing their pieces in the air.
Al eleven o'clock the main village fled
past the post and went into camp onA
spot designated by the agent. As the
village approached about thirty princi.
pal cnieis and head men rode IN line into
tue tort, advancing slowly on the parade
10 the commanding ohicers quarters,
where they we're presented by spotted
Tail. The son of Lone Horn Ar.t rode
forward. Laying his gun IN tho
ground he said; "l lay down thls gun as
token OF submission 10 General
Crook, 10 whom | wish to surrender.
The chiefs all shook hands with Crook
aud rode away to put their people IA the
camp.
On the 18th inst. n council was held in
which the Indians were told Whist would
be required OF them by the government.
They sald that their proiessIo IS OF peace
were sincere, and this IL iu.'.y credited
by all who saw them. They turned over
10 the agents upwards OF l.43O ponies
and horses also their arms. The
exact number could not be Ascrr-
tanned, but the collection embraced
many csrblnes taken Ia the Custer ma.

THE SPEAkERSIIIP.

Notwithstanding the vast amount OF
bargaining and intriguing, attempted
trading and trafficing, which has been
gong on ever since the day AIR. HAYES
was frsudulenty counted in as President,
to capture the organization of the House
in the interest OF the Radical party,
nothing now seems clearer than that all
that sort of scheming will fail. The
Democrats have some ten or twelve rua-
jority in the House, and that majority
will beyond reasonable doubt, select a
Democratic Speaker. All appearances
point to Hon. SAMUEL j. RANDALL as
the coming man for that place.

all along shown her unvarying purpose II
set aside, or at any rate ignore the very
existence of the treaty of Paris. Still she
will not care 10 raise the discussion on
the point rs to how far its stipulations
may be deemed valid. knowing that such
discussion might perhaps bring her into
opposition with one or more OF the other
powers besides Turkey. As the
Cars arrival a. Kischenef is only
announced for the 22d inst, 1t is supposed
that his majesty will stop ST Moscow. He
may possibly use his stay there 10 make
another declaration, or possibly issue the
expected manifesto there!rom.
News of the movement OF the Russian
army is confirmed on many sides. 1t is
believed in we'll informed circles that not
much time will be lost in crossing
into Roumsnia. Such movement
may be made simultaneously with or
perhaps before the regular declaration gf
war, so that the movement would have
the character of menace. This would be
following the precedent OF 1858. The
Turks may not be disposed to allow such
occupation to pass over in silence, for
trustworthy information indicates thst
they mean TO consider the crossing Of the
Pruth a declaration of war, and intend
crossing ~ the same time into Roumsnia,
between TuliZschs and Hirchovs. Rou-
mania is preparing TO resist by mobillZ
ing her whole army.
