INDIANS AT WASHINGTON
INTERVIEW WITH THE PRE-
SIDENT.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Express under the date
of Saturday evening says: The dele
cation OF Indians from the Green Bay
country were today presented to the
President of the United States. They
were accompanied by the Secretary
Of War and their Interpreter. The
Indians came here to represent the in
terest of their tribe, and if possible to
make some new regulation with Go
vernment which they regarded as
more advantage to themselves.
A formal and interesting talk was
held with the President, in which brief
addresses were made and responses
given. A chief of the Pottawattomies
expressed his desire to change on the
part of the tribe certain utensils al
lowed under form er treaty, and main
ly of iron, for powder and ball. The
President in reply persuaded him that
there were things more important than
munitions of war to the Indians, and
the main one he argued with great
simplicity, earnestness and effect, was
that of education. Instead of spend
ing the balance due from the govern
ment to the tribe in the means ofwar-
fare, the President told the chief of
the benefits and blessings OF an edu-
cation to their children.
The Indian acknowledged the truth
of what was said, promised TO receive
the advice given in good faith and to
apply the fund due to the establish
ment of schools among the tribe. "Fa-
ther," said he, first taking all present
by the hand. ''me thank you, and as
long as rivers shall flow, and the grass
be green, we hope to be at peace with
you"
The President reciprocated the SEN
timent and exhorted the Indian tie leave
off his hunting, to cultivate the earth,
and to be wise and industrious. The
meeting continued for about an hour,
and was of the most interesting char
acter.-Visiter.
