Indian Interview with the Presi,

made their first visit to the Indian Bureau, and
thence called upon the President of the United
States. Before being admitted to the President,
, they remained some time in the East-room, where
their admiration was excited to high pitch by
the SIZE OF the apartment and the magniicence
with which It is furnished. On being introduced
to the President in his official room up stairs
each OF the party shook hands with the President
and the Secretary of the Interior. The names of
the Indians, who are from the pueblo of Tesuqus
about twelve miles north Of Santa Fe are re-
spectiyely Jose Maria, Carlos Vigil Juan Anto-
nio, and Jose Abeyta. The Indians spoke in
Spanish. Mr.. Whiting acted as interpreter
The President having signifed his disposition to
listen to anything they might have TO communicate,
Jose Maria, after few minutes Of modest delay,
said he solicited permission to speak to the Pres
dent on two or three subjects. He had, he said,
travelled very far to See the country and people
1.-THE United States, aud what he saw greatly
astonshcd him. He had heard O great many
strange things Of the habits and customs. of the
people of this country, but now he saw fof him
self. Much that he had heard he did not believe
but now he saw more than ever had been told
him, with his own eyes. He lived, he said, when
Mt home, III poor country he and his people
suffered great deal of trouble; but he looked
upon the President as his Great Father, and the
father Of his people as we'll as of his white
brethren, and as such he should look to him for
help and succor. His people wished to live ac-
cording to their own habits and customs but his
country was very poor one; living there was
very high; and if he spends dollar, 30 much oft
goes for food that he had nothing left to buy
clothing with. Owing to mismanagement, or some
thing unfavorable, there were great many
| thieves in the country; this would sometimes lead
to bad results but tor his part and his peoples,
they wished to live III peace aud quuietness. He
complained of his Mexican neighbors, by whose dis
honesty his people had lost several animals which
he wished TO have restored. The Mexicans also cut
more aceg"'as than they had agreed to do, and
took of too much water from their fields. He
also said he wished that the stpulations Of
the treaty entered into three years ago with the
United States should be fulfilled. He would like
, to take homo some agricultural implements and
other tools, for they had scarcely anything to
make a door window with. He wished to
lodge complaint against named Mestis,
who had acted agent for their pueblo in sell
lug some goods in chihuahua; he had sold fifty
three buffalo robes, worth S4 each and had only
returned so and two calves for them. He could
not say anything more he was much struck
with the buildings, and institutions and manners
of the people of the United States that he was at
u loss to express himself Before sitting down,
he requested that before he returned he might
have some church ornaments given him, list Of
which had been given him by his cure.
The President replied by expressing the graft
first time in his life that he had the pleasure of
seeing Pueblo Indian. He knew how long and
tedious a journey they had travelled he knew
that they would have to pursue the same journey
home; but he hoped the Great Spirit would bless
and sustain them till they again returned TO the
bosom Of their families.
The President was sorry to hear that there
werc thieves and bad men in their country. He
was anxious that the law should be enforced
against nil such, md in order to this end he had
appointed Governor Lane to be Governor Of New
Mexico, who would be charged with protecting
the good and furnishing the bad. All questions
relating to their internal affairs must be settled
by the Governor and officers in the Territory. AS
to agricultural implements, tools, and church or
naments, he tho President, could make pro-
mise at this time, but whatever it was in his
power to do for them should be performed. Mr..
Stuart the Secretary of the Interior, and the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs are charged with
these matters, who will do all they can to crafty
the Pueblos.
The President regretted to hear Of the dishon-
csty Of the Mexicans with whom they had deal
ings in chihuahua, but it was out Of the power
Of this government to help them they could
only in such cases look TO the Mexican laws for
redress. lie would advise the Pueblos, however,
to have nothing to do in future with men who
had proved themselves dishonest.
In reference to the treaty Of three years ago,
he. the President would look into it, and if it
should be found that any stipulation in it lacked
, flhmcnt he would see it should be fulfilled. He
Iwas gratifed ut their visit, and hoped that after
seeing So much Of the United States they had
| formed better opinion of the people than they
had before they came. The President regarded
his red children in New Mexico with the same
good will that he did his white children in the
States, and would do all in his power TO make
them happy, lie was sorry their country was

except that he hoped the Great Spirit would bless
them on their return, and give them health and
happiness The Secretary Of the Interior and the
! Commissioner of Indian Afairs would give them
any further information they might require.

retired, and soon after we're conducted to the
