A young fellow, an enemy to the lib
critics of America, going to Il quilting

men were collected, and the only
young man in the company, began
his aspersions on Congress, as usual,
aud held forth some time on the sub
ject, till the girls, exasperated at his
impudence, laid hold of him, stripped
him to the waist, and instead OF tar,
covered him with molasses, and for
feathers took the downy tops of flags,
which grow in the meadows, and
covered him well, and then let him
so. He has prosecuted every one OF
them. and the matter has been tried

The Indian Chiefs at the Capital.


The delegation Of severalchiels and braves
ofthe Chippewa Indians, who recently passed
through here, have arrived at Washington.
Their errand is said to have been to sign a
treaty with Secretary Usher. On arriving
at the capital they seem to have dressed and
painted themselves In their best style, and
they attracted no little attention, painted and
plamed and carrying huge tonahawk pipes
Hole in the Day was anxiously inquiring
for the "Great WARRIOR Gen. Grant. The
Washington Chronicle gives the following
account of them:
"These Indians seem to be stupeEcd with
amazement at the (to them) wonderful
sights that rise up before them wherever
they turn their steps. They arc very uni
communica;ive-the least so in fact, the
interpreters tell US, of any Indians whom
they have known. Occasionally, however,
they perpetrate dry joke among themselves
as will be seen by the following: When
visiting the Capitol, they were shown the
ditfe: eat luxuriously furnished rooms, and
one said to another, who had boas.cd that
he would clear clear out the pale face SEES
here your room The remainer of the party,
by an expressive 'ugh,' gave vent to their
satisfaction with this hard thrust at the
blood, thirsty warrior who, nevertheless,
preserved the immobili:y of his features
GAS our readers vel! know, the arrange
ments in the basement Of the Capitol are
such as 10 force into the rooms Of the build
ing either hot or Good air. Being shown
the cold room, they said: ugh Ke- way din
(winter) live here" They were astonish-
ed, as may be surmishe ed. when, moying
only few s'eps, they found themselves iu
ia current Of air heated to very high tenn.
perAturo. With unconcealed satisfaction
they exclaimed, u gh! Shaw won day SEQ
(summer) live here"
':belore making the trip to Washington,
they had not the slightest idea that there
existed thousndth part as many pale -fac,s'
as lhey nave Already Seen. Like most ig-
norant people, they supposed themselves
the mishtiest tribe upon the earth. When
the treaty was made with them, they at
first dcm'ndel that the President should
come and SEQ them, feeling il to be beneath
the dignity of mighty race like themselves
to first visit him. However, the most of
them at length concented to the treaty stip.
ulations, which provides for the cession to:he
e overnment Of a large amount Of territory.
They are to receive $780, 800, to be applyed
10 the payment Of claims against them for
property that they have destroyed in their
raids; and $4,000 per year, for term OF
twenty years, to be paid in agricultural i'm.
plenen clothing &c."
