Washington, June 5.?The Sionx chiefs, Bed Cloud and others, held a long and earnest council on Wednesday evening, in regard to signing nway their hunting privilege in Nebraska for $25,000, and finally reached the unani? mous conclusion that they would, under no circumstances, sign until they have consulted tho wishes .of their people. They also determined to leave to-day for their home in Dakota. Yesterday morn? ing, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs had an interview with the chiefs, in which he assured them the Secretary of the Interior regretted that they had de? clined the proposition made them, and stated that ne had come to make another proposition, which was that they should take the agreement with them and talk among themselves, one copy at the Spotted Tail and one at the Bed Cloud agenoy, and that they sign it there and send it back as soon as possible. Ho as? sured them that the President saw it was impossible to press back the white man from all thot country of the North Platte in Nebraska. The Indians wero asked to give. Up a title, which is of no value to them, to the country be? tween the North Platte and the Niobrara Bivers, and in return for it they would got the right to occupy and live in the country North of the Niobrara and South of the Nebraska line?the very country that they are living in now and that thoy desire so much. In reply, Spotted Tail said that he concurred in the opinions expressed by the Commissioner; that ho was willing to receive the money for though the sum was small; that he wished the money held here while he went back and endeavored to induce his people to finish the matter up; if the paper was' signed in Washington, his people might dispute about it, and there might be bloodshed over the matter; but if he took it home and Bigned it before his people, they would be satisfied. Bed Cloud ex? pressed similar views, when tho Com? missioner informed thorn that he would be able to keep their money only twenty seven days, after whioh he would have no control over it. This ended the in? terview, with the understanding that the chiefs, accompanied by three Commis? sioners appointed by tho President, will take their departuro for their homes, this afternoon.

A Herald Havana special, dated June 2, says tho Uruguayan war transport Puiga, having on hoard seventy-two po? litical prisoners from Montevideo, has been seized by the Spanish officers in the harbor of Havana. The main cause of this action is, that some of the oxiles departed from tho Uruguayan republic have been recognized as persons previ , ously sent away from Havana for sympa? thizing with the Cuban insurgents. They had been exiled from Montevideo for conspiring to overthrow the Government by a revolution, and for having plotted the assassination of President Don Pedro Vassela and several members of his cabi? net.

Raid Upon Illicit Distillers.?Col? lector Carpenter's "erusnders," recently sent out against the illicit distillers in his district, returned, yesterday, after an absence of nearly two weeks. They suc? ceeded in breaking up and destroying twelve illicit distilleries, captured 100 gallons, more or less, of "blockade" whiskey, and five old violators of the law, who were bound over to tho United States Court to answer for their crimes, i The whole up-country where this traffic is carried on becoming alarmed, and the ??blockade runners" hiding out in the woods, the collector deemed it advisable to recall the party and await further de? velopments. The law-abiding, tax-pay? ing portion of the community has af? forded Collector Carpenter all the assist? ance in their power, and it is hoped this traffic can be effectnully stopped. Thus far tho collector is extremely satisfied with his success in his first attack upon the "blockade" whiskey distillers and ! contraband traders.?Union-llerahl.

We may here re? mark, that this iB the first instance upon record in this State, where a party has been convicted of receiving stolen agri? cultural products, notwithstanding the large amount of it done. We hope that the ball now put in motion will notecase to roll until it engulphs every little cot? ton and corn-trap in the town and County.

At tho rate the forests are burning down through this country and in Canada, the tree-planting system, which has been, happily, inaugurated in the North-western States on a small scale, will doubtless become a stern necessity after a few years. The fires reported re? cently as ravaging the pineries of the do? minion of Canada, near Ottawa, had already destroyed more pine than could he cut in three years, and in Pennsylva? nia and New York the same disastrous results aro appearing. The New York Express has suggested that an appro? priate celebration of the centennial year would be the planting of a tree by each of the 40,000,000 of people in this conn trv. Certainly, something of the kind will be necessary ere long. The Attorney-General of tho State of New York, on Thursday, filed a/iffpentlens against the propejty belonging to Peter R.
