Sept. 10, 1872. We were up before the snu on Friday morning, the GtH at Leeper Creek, preparing lor the grand council to be convened at noon, but not before our Indian friends. Fully Impressed with the truth of the saying that It ia the early bird that pets the worm, they commenced their flight to our cauip while yet the stars were shining, and. squat- tiugabout our quarters, watched with keen interest every movement we made.

Each "buck" squaw aud nuked papoose curried a bug, blanket or clout to Hold sujLTiir, bread, meat, or whatever else of provender taey could beg or steal, and noisily jiianiled the immediate atiuiitiim of the Commissioner. They crowded iuio toe tcnis until it was airaost impossible to turn round. By smashing open a few boxcs of bread and let them Help Iliems-Mves we were, hoivever, enabled alter some time to mako hasty toilet uud eat a morsel of breakfast, when tlie serious work of tlie luoniins commenced. These Indians were merely the avant fjitritu of the liost that, now began to pour iu upon us--Comanches, Apache.s, Waecos, Delawares, Witeliicas, Arrapahoes and Caddoes--some from camps two miles distant, and some from the opposite side of the creek near by; but all--men, women uud children--mounted on ponies, came frallopiug in.

He was pained to sco that he white people were not lie tunuslit AN IKDUN BABBEODE.

There was a perfect scramble for orders for beef. Chiefs who bad tho day previous drawn at the agency and killed a fat Texan cow reported their young men in a starving condition, and could not think of attending the council until they had eaten, Testimonials of character were shoved into the bauds of the Commissioner, long enercetie speeches and other speeches explanatory or in support and rebuttal of evidence pro and con. were ut. and a delightful hubbub was maintained for an hour or more. Finally orders were given to kill all the cattle and let the Indians help themselves.

This they did with a vengeance. Mr. Jonea shot the animals and no time was lost in cutting them up. Tbe prairie grass was soon covered with ialflns, tails, boras and entrails of animals, aud the effluvia waa sickening. In every direction could be seen squaws and children running with bleeding pieces of flesh or trailing entrails, while some, more provident than others, packed the dripping meat on their ponies, and, mounting, galloped to distant camps.

In an hour there was nothing left of the herd of ten cows but their hoofs and horns. We bad dinner at noon on a small riticetiy table brought from J'ort sill, and found it a difficult matter to accommodate all the chiefs, who kindly joined our megs, after they bad gorged'tbemselves with their own beef. Canned fruit disappeared ac au alarming but as IM does not like canned oysters and Abominates salmon and Worcestershire sauce TAltlIAJ-T TACTICS. Much dlfflcnlty was experienced in getting the chiefs together for the council. The Indians in a matter of this kind are exceedingly slow and cautious and cannot be They liave to hold tueir preliminary powwows and caucuses and determine among themselves beforehand what course to taVe.

Once they bave agreed, however, as to the line of conduct to pursue and the orators to speak, there 1s never any further discussion. Boss Tweed would be delighted with these fellows. WHat the chief says in council is law; there never la any "trouble in the party," and no one ever dreams of appealing ftorn the decision of the chair. Theirs are Tammany tactics in letter and spirit. Tho always have it in the Indian caucuses.

Oil this occasion the Indians were probably slower than usual, for the Commissioner combatted the red interviewers and never dropped a hint of object of tlie council. About two o'clock, however, movement was made toward tbe council grounds, and in Indian brave, picturesquely dressed la a flowing robe of canvas, daubed with blue paint, aud some unfortunate settler's nightcap, mounted a stump and bowlingly announced that the Great Father "was ready to llstea to Ilia red children, and that the red children might now step np and settle with the Great Father. A party of the colored troopers had previously arranged the charred beams or Shirley's ill-fated store, put the dining table in position under a tree, and placed boxes and barrels about it for scats for the Commissioner and party. Your commissioner was early on tbe ground and secured good position for observation. THE SCENE IN THE GROVE, Tbe day-was intensely warm, but the trees meet- Ing over head, protected ua from the flery rays of the sun, while a gentle breeze from the bluff be- yonil the creek occasionally squeezed through the encircling brush and kept the flies in motion.

Tlie chiefs were already in position. Fronting tlie table were the Yam-na-ri-ko Cainanchcs, Ten Bear, Iron Mountain, Little Crow, Gap-in-the-Woods; and close by them Chewing F.Ik or cjutrto-Ouip. To the tight of these Hit, smoking tbe pipe of peace, the representatives of the Raven, Big Mouth, Yellow Bear, Left Band. Spotted Wolf, Curley, White Crow, Yellow Horse and Uttle Neck, and on tbeir extreme lea Mra. Keith, the hair- breed, wbo lives with them and acts as their interpreter.

You say vou have no lies iu you. We will see "bo- fore you go and know whether you Havn or not. (Urn!) If the government would do something for me a good House--it would encourage my brethern to follow the right road. I suppose that Washington (the president Is so called by the Indians) is a great and pood man. and sent a great and good man to us as proof of bis good intentions.

If Washington would give us young agents like you it would be better. Tue old agents are stingy--(laughter and grunt- groans)--and all the sapof kindness and generosity has oozed, out of them. That's all at present. (Um! ah!) INDIAN DIPLOMACY. Bin Red Somethlu(t-to-Eat then got up and echoed and endorsed Asa-Habit, except as to the house for the latter, a subject on which he did not care to dwell at length (knowing very well that Asa- Habit was merely fencing and did not want a better shantv than he now has), and there was another lonsfpause.

It was quite clear to every one of ua that the Indians would not take the Initiative, and that the Commissioner had better play his band without more ado. Accordingly the Captain got np and spoke at considerable length and with great pood sense--from a white man's point of view. He told them how the Great Father governed his white children, punishing the suilty and protecting the good, and Incidentally alluded to the rebellion as a cose in point. When a culprit escapes, he further explained, and is secreted and protected and not given up to Justice, the Great Father holds all the people wbo combined to save that culprit as guilty as he. (Om! ah!) When a whole tribe gets bad he hunts them aud fights them until they get good again, (ironical smiles round the circle.) The Great Father wants to be at peace with all liis children--red, white and black, (dm a He says if any red children are bad he'll treat them as other baa children.

(Om!) Captain Alvord then mentioned recent instances where property stolen from the Indians was restored to them by the government and the thieves captured and locked up. Now, when the Indians rob white men they will be shut up. too, and the property retaken. Satanta auu Big Tree are locked uji in Texas lor their bad deed, but they were alive and well. (Um! ah!) LEX TALIONIS.

These are the words of the Great Father to you. If the whites misbehave (go bad) I will shut them up. If the red men about you go bad tell me me and 1 will shut them up. (Um!) Washington savs that the reit man must have Uls country ami the white man his. The white man must not go into the red man's country, nor the red man iuto the white man's country.

The Commissioner then defined the boundaries of the Indian country, except in oue important particular--the disputed ground southwest of the north fork o( the Red Kiver. The governmeut as well as the Indians are Ife a muddle concerning this sectiou, and Captain Alvord's failure to explain it made a bad impression. Tlie chiefs evinced a disposition to raise a debate on it, Just to pump the Commissioner dry; but Mrs. Keith, the half-breed interpreter of the Arapahoes, with great good sense averted, that calamity. WASHING TO THE WOKE.

Name is Comanche, saw his opportunity here, authoring up the folds of His blanket and resting his tomahawk in the hollow of his left arm, he struck an attitude and began these people are my friends. I have kept out on the Plains because the whites were bad. Now you (pointing to Alvord) come Here to do good, you say, and yet the first thing you do is to pen us up in a narrow territory, i would ratncr (with great vehemence) stay out on the Plains and cat dung than come in on. such conditions. an 1 I was on the warpath, but now am not; but I dou't waul to hear such talk about having me penned up on A reservation.

77 Um! ah! Captain Alvord promptly explained that the boundary lines were not for him, as his tribe were not parties to the agreement he spoke of, and Great Father is in earnest and Is now turning out white people from the Cherokee i Nation. Little Raven can tell yout that." Mrs KEITH (for Raven)--0, ves. Captalu Alvord Great Father says that you must now say which rond you will take. You must either keep within your owu linus and remain at peace, or stay oui and be at war. Those who want to be at peace must come in and stay near the agencies.

If you do this you will be taken care of as you were at Fort Cobb; but If yout dou't want this peace the Great Father will cast you off. 7 ah!) 1 "CHOOSK YE THIS DAY." If you do choose to fight aud be bad you wll! be poor and hungry, and will dwindle away uutil there is nothing left of you. But If you choose to be good and stay close by the agencies, you will be safe and happy." Captain Alvord then alluded to the Arapahoes and Caddoca, and compared their prosperity to tbe misery ol tbe outslSe tribes. He told them to think over wast be had said and tell him In tho morning what they would tske.

Surely Indian is a iMirn diplomatist. The conduct the chiefs during this second day's powwow was exceedingly skilful.

The Commissioner called upou the tribes to declare themselves at once, and very wisely selected the civilized Indians to speak first.

To-wack-anle Bave, Buffalo's lieutenant general, expressed his preiereuce to peace and his satisfaction with everything. THE AKAPAHOE3. This friendly tribe was well represented. Little Raven spoke first, Mrs. Keith interpreting what he said into English and Mr.

McClusky communicating it into Comauche. the court languacre. His speech was somewhat different in tenor Irom that of the previous evening; but Raven is a statesman. He said that he went home last night and held a council of his people, and that they agreed to take the white road marked out for them by the Commissioner. "I am an old roan." be said, "and I hope the young men present will listen lo my words.

I will take it as a favor. Tell them (to Alvord) at Washington that my heart Is good and that all here are good. (Dm!) Don't forget what is said. Everything should be done straight. I DON'T WANT ANT MORE SOLPIER3 here in this country.

(Unil Ah!) If they are taken away tlia young men will be quiet. 1 am Just on the edge of the white man's road. I got there when I went to Washington, but I have not got fully on it vet. (Urn 1 Ah!) Spotted Wolf and Yellow Bear echoed what Raven had said, and then Hig Month, the funny man and orator next to Raven, had his say. He was even more prolnse in his promises than the civilized Indians.

But there was one thing he wanted the Great Father to do before his beart would be entirely ffood--he wanted Camp Supply broken up aud the soldiers removed. THE OOUANCHES were next In order. To-sho-way spoke first. Ife was glad to hear that the land was Ui bo theirs, but. he was sorry to hear of the possibility of arrests being made; not that he feared to he locked up himself, for He was ou the good rond; but he was concerned about his brethren outside, who were not wise.

Straight Jacket came next. He knew that some of the Comanclies were not as good its tiiey might be, but if tlie government luul patience with them they would be better. Esse-tu-it was for peace at any price, at least that was the drift of his few remarks. Now came one of the Staked Plains Couiauehes, a lieutenant of the Bear, iu the person of Black Horse. This is TUB MOST KLOOn-TIIIUSTY SCOUNDHEL ON THE PLAINS.

Not very long ago He murdered a man at Fort Cobb while he was'asleep in fauciC'l security. He has a small face, narrow retreating forehead and a vargc sensual mouth. On this occasion he looked hideous. His face--except, across the eyes, and that tract of mud was yellow as a kite's claw--was painted a dark blue, and his long hair looked as if It had been struck by lisrhtuing. lit 1 wore no shoes or moccasins, but carried a flue silver-mounted six- barrelled revolver.

"I live," ho said, "on tno Staked Plains, where I see no white men. You are trying to make one rule for the guidance of all red men, (Um I don't see wiry I should talk. I don't know what tbe other chiefs on the Plains Wilnt." MII.KV WAY followed. He said that all these talks built np big pile, but ho noticed they fell down again before finished. He thought the Indiana wanted to take the white man's road, but hail no evidence of the good faith of tin; white man.

lie looked around and he could see no presents for the young men. (Ah I um 1 ah He considered tills a poor little mean council. His eyes saw notning good about anywhere. He wanted more liberality on the part of the white men. White Horse supported Milky Way, but did cot commit himself.

A SL'fiOESTION FOB THE INDIAN DEPAUTMENT. Gap-in-the-Woods waa the next speaker. The present management of the agencies was, lu his opinion, very unsatisfactory. He wanted a store for his band, filled full of gooil things, with sin Indian as trader. Then, tiie government ought to give them some greenbacks to buy things from the Indian trader.

He considered himself civilized, and he didn't want war. As far as he could see, someof the Comanches were foolish; they were not on the man's rond yet, but are ou the way. What was wan ten now was presents, tie was afraid he would be blamed Dy his younpr men because there were no presents. Another tiiL'ig bore heavily on his heart--the soldiers were hot sent away yot as they should be. fiREAT CHIEF TEN REAR.

The chiefs can't keep the young: men quiet, and all this talk amounts to not.liing.

No-tah, an Apache chief, made the last speech. It was, he said, his first speech in council. He listened to nil the talk, but heard little to the point.

He could not understand the silence of the chiefs as to what they intended to do. His course wag ele.ir. lie wanted peace; uud he was ready, with tliree others of his tribe, to to Washington.

It is a sad ending to a long and useful life. 1 have net beard what arrangements have been made at the Fort for the funeral, or whether an attempt will be made to remove the remains to Philadelphia.

DUE "EFPIOIEST" AND POLITE POLICE. TO TIIJE EDITOIt OF THE H.EKAI.P:-- It seems aa though tlie men employed to watch over the interests of our city might possess the qualities of politeness and good scusc; but uie following little occurrence would seem lo indicate the reverso. A gentleman was passing along Fourth avenue, near Twenty-third street, or in that neighborhood, on Sunday, when an accident occurred, how, the gentleman could not tell, by which a young boy was thrown from a "ercen" car fiat on the street. He was rendered insensible by the sbock, and a number of females in tne car alighted and commenced shrieking and performing various other feminine acts over the body of the prostrate boy. The gentleman in question immediately crowded the ladles out or the way and picked up the lad, ascertaining that His legs were not broken.

He then suggested placing the inanimate boy in the car, to be taken to the drug store, haifa block off, where some emcicnt aid might bo procured, when, at the eleventh hour, up steps a bUtburly asking what was the matter? On being Informed of the accident and of the steps to be taken, He said, In a blustering, authoritative tone, "No. you don't'." Ucing asked what his lordship had to say about it, he seemed to say that he owned the whole of New York, and the boy's friends were obliged to leave him alone, and iny Informant then camu. away saying, "All right; you are responsible." Now why the interfering dignitary could not be pleasant and polite, as well as sensible about tho thing I can't tell; perhaps some of your readers can. The fact is merely a repetition of many in my experience. C.
