TIil- Sioux Dclegution ut Washington?Kcd Clouil, Itcil I)Of, Red Fly, Red Shirt, A. Crow, Lone Wolf, White Cow, Spotted Tail, ghoo-Fly and the whole Bear Family, t'orretponilf H* Cincinnati Vontintrclal. Washington, June 1. (Jen. Parker ofllciolly received S|iottetl 1 Tail and Swift Bear, with two ut' the warrior* of their tribe, to-day. These are II part ol the Sioux nation of Indian*, which lire divided into some twenty 1 tribes, scattered over a large territory, i culled the Sioux Reservation. The great difficulty is that the Sioux will not remain on these reservations. Sotted Tail stated his grievances to i Gen. 1'arkcr in round terms, lie said ' that our Government does not lulBll its treaty promises, and that supplies prom ised and moncv owed was not Inrthcom in# at the stated times, ami that the white I man, wherever he could find inany hntih. loos or gold, comes on the Indians' land I and take the Indians' ponies. General Parker made a lengthv explanation in reference to the dilUculties the - Indian liurcau had to contend with in obtaining its moneys, through Congress, and ) the dilllculties a j^rcat Government had in conducting its attain. He assured Spotted. Tail ihut all the promises nuidu in the treaties would be observed; that they ' should receive the provisions, &c. He also said that they must not light among themselves, one band with another, nor I must they light against the people ot the I'nitcd States, not steal their eatllo or horses. i Spotted Tail wild he was glad that the : Great Father was going to treat them right, but took good care not to say that he would discontinue fighting,horse-stealing, A:c. They then retired, to have anI other talk at some future day, before seeing tile Great Father?the President. General Parker regards Spotted Tail and Swill Hear as being pretty well broken in. They are great lighters, but have been lor* some time past peaeeablv disposed. The hist deed that Spotted Tail J committed was to kill Big Mouth, u chic I ' of another Sionx band. At 0 o'clock this morning the greatest chief oi the Sioux Nation, uiul commanding the largest hand in the tribe, arrived in this city, in charge of General Smith, of the United States Army. His linglish siame is Red Cloud. He is accompanied by the following chiefs and chief men, from his own hand and some dozen of other bands of the Sioux tribes: Red Dog, Brave Bear, Little Bear, Yellow Bear, Setting Hear, Bear Skin, Black Hawk, Long Wolf, Sword Afraid, Red Fly, Theone-that-runs-through, Buck Bear, A Crow, Swing Bear and Red Shirt. Four squaws accompany them, as follows: Theworld-looker, wife of Black Hawk; ThcSioux-are-women, wile of Yellow Bear; The White Cow Pawler, wife of Sword; Thunder Skin, wile of Tho-one-tliat-runs; through. John Richards, nn American interpreter,but wliohas been living among these bunds ot Sioux for the past two years, and a half-breed Sioux named McClosky, are the companion interpreters of this party, and are continually with them. These two men will be used as interpreters during the big talk will! the Indian Commissioner and the President. Red Cloud, the greatest war chief of them all, is a perfect Ilercules, about six and a half feel in height, and large in proportion. Indeed, there is not a small man among them. Large features, large hands and feet, high cheek bones, forehead, and a general knock-knee gait, denote the real savage. Painted faces in all iiuagiuable stylus are the rule. nerved ears lur gaudy ornamente are the style with the men us well us with the women. The most magnificent buffalo robes, ornament> eil and bejeweled, are worn by them all. lied Cloud wears red leggins, bcautiftilly , worked and trimmed with ribbons and beads, while his shirt has as many colors us the rainbow. LI is robe is trimmed uud crossed with silks and seal skins. Ills moccasins nro pronounced the handsomest ? ever seen here. The women are ugly, wear short frocks, have big teet, and pug or llat noses. lted Cloud did not bring any of his wives with him, as he was told it was not tiie general rule lor Congressmen or other great men to bring their squaws here. Parker lias forbidden the interviewing | of this great chief by the reporters. McClosky, tlie hall-breed interpreter, General Parker says, is not to be relied on, and his statements about Indians must be taken with great allowances, uud doubtless some enterprising Bohemian will star' tie the world with tbo great deeds and daring ot Red ('loud and his brother savages. ilr. Beauvis and Colonel Bullock report to General Parker that the band are much fatigued with their long travel, and need . several days' rest. They will b6 left o alone to rest and do as they chooso until next week. General Parker will in the meantime make arrangements to receive , them himself, and then have them see the President,th'o Secretary of War, and (Jen y erul Sherman. The statement that next Monday was the day fixed lor them to see the President is erroneous. No ih y has Mr. Beauvis, ut the request of the Com* mlssloner of Indian Aflairs, gave some interesting Information In reference to these Sioux, lie says that Red Cloud is about forty-five years of age; that he Is ' very uncertain; that not much confidence can be placed in his promises or pledges. But as this is his first visit among the pale t faces in their own country, it may be of great service in changing his opinion and his mode of trcatiug the white man. Red Cloud is the best rider, best shot and one ol the most expert buffalo hunters among the Sioux. As the warrior Chief he has the most unbounded influence, and what most is to Ik> feared now is that he will lose his influence if he attempts to speak of jjeace, remaining on reservations, ?xc. The Sioux are the. most warlike race of Indians in existence, and when not fighting among themselves or witli some other tribes it lias always been | verv difficult to prevent them from attacking miners or farmers living near i their reservations, or, in faet, living where . they eould reach them. lie considered i Spotted Tail as good a warrior as Red 1C j Cloud, ami fur morn cunning. He says ? mi- country horncrlng north aim norm; west, on ilic Sioux reservations, is tlie 8 most excellent gamcconntry ?n the world, i aud that while such herds of buffalo exist I there it will 1k? difficult to keep the Bioux |j i at their homes. lted Cloud informed him j that I lie palu Jhccs nre more than grass i in numbers. Ue had come, however, to ? see if his letters had reached the (treat Father, and to ?eo it the pipo of pence could bo smoked. In this connection it is well to rive an important fact, stated by General Parker. . lie says that when an Indian reaches the | age of eighteen he is supposed to be able to do something lor himself, and that 1.1 among this very savage race or Sioux, I something h murder and horse-stealing. No young warrior can get a wife until lie has taken a scalp, either of a white man or Indian, ami stolen at least one horse. This is positively a law among them, and so, in proportion, I lie more scales and the more stolen horses, the more wives he secures, and the greater warrior he becomes. Now General Parker justly contends that this one tiling makes the first act of the voting Indian a misdeed?either a then" or a murder?but with their own |>eoplc, a great and heroic deed. From this laet It can bo easily imagined what sort of a hero Ked Cloiul is. Mr. Ilevis stated that among the party there are a number of young chiefs who are nearly as bail as Red ("loud. Mr. Hrvis is a wealthy merchant of St. Louis, but has traded and lived in the Sioux country much of his life, and speaks their language well; lie hojies, sis does General Pnrker. that some trood will come of this visit of the savages to Washington. lteri Cloud anil his bund, alter dinner to-day, t(Hik seats on the balcony in front of their hotel; and upjieared much interested in the pale faces going to and from the Capitol. The attention ol the squaws was frequently called by the men to the pale women as they passed along, and the interpreters report that the panier or shoo lly bustles on the skirts, and the terrible large amount of hair and small 1mskut bonnets011 the women's heads, were the source of much amusement to Red Cloud and his brother scalpers. There was continually a motley crowd ol whites and blacks on* the streets in front of the hotel, and many were the remarks indulged in. The little red-headed and over-otllcious jmrter or clerk of the hotel, wns At one time taken for Red Cloud, but his perfectly insignificant appearance soon dispelled that impression, when the great horse-stcaler strode Ibrlh on the balcony, a colored boy, evidently the son of an anti-Bowcn, inquired if "dein war do niggers from. Alexnndrca.dat was carried up henh to register for Uowen." This allusion to the municipal dontdst going on iu this city between Bnwcn and Emery, in which "it is charged that the Bowen faction is registering voters from Alexandria, &c\, elicited much laughter iu the crowd, which evidently did not please the Sioux. Altogeincr, tney arc a money iookiiik set, anil well worthy thecuriosity evinced by every one to see them. It is* to be seriously hoped that General Parker's belief that he will be able to pacify these Sioux, uud make them go ou their reservation and behave themselves, will be Hilly realized. Platform of the Ohio Democracy. The following arc the resolutions adopted by the Ohio Democratic Convention ?t Columbus "Wednesday: That the Federal Government is one o.' limited powers, derived solely from the Constitution: that the grants of power made therein ought to ho strictly construed by all the dependants and agents of the Government; that it is inexpedient and dangerous to exorcise doutful powers; that the Constitution of the United States is fouuded ou the fundamental principle of the entire and absolute equality of nil the States of the Union, and it is not competent for Congress to impose upon them any conditions or restrictions in respect to their internal concern which the Federal Constitution has not imposed; that the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence and sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles of the Democratic faith, and every attempt to abridge the privileges of becoming citizens and owners of soil among us ought to be resisted with the same spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute books, find, in order that we may more distinctly declare our views of the measures mid'policy of the present Administration. Hesolml, That we denounce the present tariff, jus swell as the substitute lately introduced in the House of Representatives from the Committee on Ways and Means, as a gigantic robbery of the labor and industry "f the couutry; that they arc solely designed to advance tho industry of a Yew thousand monopolies, and that this should no longer be submitted to, and that no candidate for Congress nor for any other jjollicc is worthy oi* support who is not in favor of alow revenue tariff which closely approximates to free trade; that in the arrangement of anv revenue tariff, all the necessaries of life would be absolutely free of duty. lle#>lcaly That the. internal rovenuo system of the United States is unendurable in its oppressive exactions; that it should be immediately remodeled; that iis annoyances of stamps, and licenses and taxes upon sabs and incomes should be abolished; that the lax .itself should be collected by tho Suite and county olllcials, and that the multiplication of ofllcers is whollv unneeessarv. excent to eat out the resources of tlie lax paycre. and that we pledge ourselves to etreet :i thorough re- ] Ibrui in thisparticular. That weileuouneo the prolligtfcv in the present administration of the Federal Ooveniment; the corruption which has entered all its otllcial stations; the favoritism which, overlooking titness tor office, has ap])ointod to positions of public trust the friends or tools of those who control the public patronage, anil the imbecility which directs the destinies ot the Republic without an apparent purpose, aiul manages its affairs with such embarrassment and disaster to the material interests of its people at* home, and with suOlf disregard of the rights and liberties ot its citizens. llc*Ated, That land monopoly is one of the great evils of our country, and against the spirit of our institutions; that the whole oi our public lands ought to be held as a sacred trust to secure homesteads for actual settlers; we therefore denounce the reeent action ot Congress makinir grants to i mammoth railroad corporntions which arc already too powerftil, and may InJcomo dangerous to a free people. ThxAml, That wo regard the act recently passed by Congress to enlorcc the Fifteenth Amendment as unconstitutional, unjust and oppressive, an invasion of the rights of the States, subversive ot the best interests of the people, and therefore demand its unconstitutional repeal. Iieaoltvd, That the power of the Federal Government to assess and rolled taxes on the bonds of the United States is clear and unquestioned, and we demand of Con- i cress that a share of taxation equal to the j fair average amount levied in each State j on money loaned shall he assessed and collected from all investments in bonds. lU^ltrd, That wo nrc opposed to the system of national banking, and demand the immediate repeal of the law* creating, them, and that in place of the notes of such banks treasury notes uf the United j States shall be substituted. Iktolcttl, Tirol the Ochlocracy of Ohio j sympathize with the efforts of all people struggling for self-government, luid we I denounce the truckling of the Federal administration to Great Britain and Spain, ' and the efforts of the party in power to ! reduce whole States in our Union to h condition of vassalage to the general Government. _ MARTINSVILLE. Cor. of Utlnwnt Chronicle. I believe 1 have uot mentioned about our convenient fern' landing.

Prof. Wallace's grand concert camo otr last Wednesday evening the 25th. lie expected to have it only ono night, but was requested to have it an'other evening; there was a goo<l crowd out to hear the voung singers. The Professor had his Band play several spirited pieces of music in front <>i the Church; in a short time all the "royal blood" of the town from live up was present making themselves quite conspicious; soon the fairer sex, dressed in white, looking more like inhabitants belonging to the jerial regions than of this mundane sphere; they numbered about one hundred aud twenty-five, anil a large stage was erected for them to sUind on. The columns were formed of about twentyfive in each, arranged according to size, the smaller ones being in front. The organist and Professor placed themselves on the front part of the stage; the pieces sung were principally sacred. The proceeds were for the benelit of the Sabbath School. It is proper for me to state here (as I havesopken of the vocalists) about the extraordinary qualities of our Brass Band. Two years ago the band was organized and was composed chiefly of vouths.

They devoted the whole day there; the church was beautifully ornamented with llowers and pine; a semi-circle ol llowers and pine was placed at the backs of the children and a similar one was placed over the pulpit; then about the middle of the house two circles were suspended andtho walls were dotted over with wreathes. There were a great many Germans present, and after the morning exercises they repaired to their respective homes with their company, where the "fatted call"" was wont to be eaten. In accordance Willi nits proclamation of the 3 lay or. business was suspended from II a. m. nnti) 0 a. *r. for tin? purpose of decorating the graves of the .sleeping heroes. The cause of suspension of business so early was that all those wishing to go to Steubenvllle could participate in strewing the graves. About 5 o'clock the "Baby Waker' (the name for our piece of artillery) was placed on the highest point in town and resounded from bill to hill, making u sudden stir junong the sweet reixwed. The procession formed at Farmer's Hall, headed by the band, and inarched to the cemetery. They soon got through, anil then they repaired to the wharf. The Latest News. News of the Day. C'ol.U. H.

Mr. Stewaut, in reply, contended that, as a rule, the Indians violate treaties with impunity. He would teach them that their traveling over one half the territory of the United States and murdering whoever thev choosc, must he stopped. It is said their rights were disregarded by bad whites, but it was not bad whites who were murdered. The remedy was to put them on small reservations that could lie ensilv miardcd. and sunnort them at 10 per cent ot the* present cost to the Government. The bill was partly read, when, at 4:23 p. m., the Senate went into executive session, and at 4:80 took a recess. l'rewbyterian General Assembly. philadelphia, June 3.

I The Directors ot the German Immigra- ; tion Society met yesterday. From reports submitted It appears that during the past month 10,103 Germans were landed here, nearly all of whom proceeded to the West.

Since the 1st ot January , #4,0110 Germans were landed here?7,457 less than during the corres|)onding jwriod i of last year, when tho German immigration amounted to 40,487. Fragment* of the Feniau Fiasco. Mai.oxk, N. Y., June 2. Twenty-five double wagons, loaded down with Fenian stores, captured at Fort Covington, have arrived here. Several loads of stores, such as knapsacks clothing and equipments, were abandoned and burned, tor the lack of transportation. Three hundred destitute Fenians are all that remain here now. tdl the rest having been sent home. The body ot' Home was willingly given up to his friends, on the request being made to Lieut. Col. W. Osbom Smith, commanding the lorces on the Southern frontier, by Deputy Marshal J. M. Smalley. No indignaties had been practiced except to heap stones on the grave. A disinterment of Colonel Smith would not even be permitted or photographers to take the seenc. Notwithstanding the departure of nearly all the Fenians the Canadians troops are easily uxchcm. i m: fivoorslx hundred now lit Ecele's Hill were thrown into a state of alarm on Monday by the discharge of a single gun on this side, which proved afterwards to have been fired by a hunter. .

Our city hunks are suH'cring from a plethora of money which cannot find 11 remunerative circulation, rates of interest are very low ami commercial credit is unusually sound, the country is prosperous over its whole length and breadth, prices of investment stocks are low; and yet there is hardly anything of a sjieculalive spirit exhibited in Wall street. The reason for this strange state ol things is that the whole business public are afraid uf Congress. While there is a feeling ol uncertainty in relation to the action ol Congress on the Funding Hill and the Currency Bill, prudent men hesitate to engage in any financial speculations which will' be affected by those meiisures. Our readers aro aware thai we do not apprehend any dangur from the net ion of Congress; but* we must confess that we think it is the more prudent L'otirso to wait and see what will happen. It happens, unfortunately for the business nf the country, that the chairman of the Committees of Ways and Means in both House and Senate and the chairman ol the Committee on Currencv and Banking in the House are all three in accord with the Secretary of the Treasury, although they have a large majority opposed to their fundimr ami currencv schemes in the Lower House. It is believed sunon^ the lending linuneiers; of Willi street, ami tlie speculating .cliqucs in Uroail street and Exchange Place, that the Secretary of the Treasury will have his way. In the meanwhile,"there is not much movement in any direction on the Stock Exchange. * _ New York Money and Stock Market. New Yonit, June 2.
