Restless Redskins

Yankton, May 20.-The Indians are
becoming uneasy and rebellions, and
threaten to take the war-path. At
Yankton agency, sixty miles up the
Missouri river from here, a mutiny has
occurred. An attemptI was made to
arrest an Indian for shooting mem-
ber Of company III. He resisted, and
was finally disarmed, but the presence
Of large number of Indians, who
gathered about, prevented his arrest,
The intelligence of the collision and
the triumph of the Indians was quickly
carried across the river to Spotted Tail
Agency, where it produced great SEN
sation. Disaffection exists and it will
result in numerous recruits to the hos
tile forces in the north. The Yank-
tons and the Yanktonais, who have
been perfectly quiet since the war of
1862, are becoming discontented and
mutinous. Their young men will sure
ly take to the war path.

a Busy wsek Expee.ed.

Washington, May 20.-This week is
expected to be an unusually busy one,
with prolific legislative results in Con-
gress. The Senate will probably dis
pose of the pending bill on the subject
of the resumption of specie payments
and the contest in the Senate over the
Texas Pacific railroad measure may
possibly be commenced within the next
few days. Matthews has given notice
of his intention to call it up to-mor-
row. This, however, cannot readily be
accomplished unless the specie resump-
tion bill is out of the way, and viii be
further postponed If another of the
regular appropriation bills is favorably
reported from the Senate committee
for action.
The House with the aid of evening
sessions, will doubtless dispose of the
army appropriation bill before the close
ofsthe week, and the final struggle over
the tariff bill will then be inaugurated,
with a prospect of reaching a rapid
conclusion through the instrumentality
OF motion to strike out the enacting
clause, which win probably be adopted.

Bull on the Boundary.

Winnepeg, May 2O.-A trader from
Cypress Hill says Sitting Bull is now
camped just north of there. The In
dians in the vicinity all seem friendly,
and small bands were coming across
the boundary bringing the spoils of
raids made on the Black Hills trains,
including many wholesale packages un-
broken. The Indians were SO well sup
piled that the trader made advanta-
geous purchases from Sitting Bull of
goods to sell in Manitoba.

Hayes is No. Frightened.

Washington, May 0.-Gentlemen
in the confidence Of the President, and
having asperfect a knowledge of Mr..
Hayes views respecting the recent pro-
ceedings Of the Democratic majority Of
the House, said this evening, that the
President, while maintaining his natu-
raj equanimity Of temper, wasn't in
ciined to look lightly on the situation,
and he did not think it was matter
to treat with indifference-great events
in history had sprung from smaller be-
ginnings. Tracing the movement from
its birth, the President has been struck
with its rapid growth. He points to
the significant circumstance that such
independent and influential men as
Alexander H. Stephens are already
powerless to stay the caucus mandate,
whatever is the result of the investiqa-
tion.
