The Sioux Indians, who have been in Wash
ington for some time as representatives OF the
tribes Of Uncpapas Blackteet, and Upper and
Lower Yanctonians as stated yesterday, had an
interview with the President on Saturday.
The President told them he would wish to see
them on fertile lands, where they could easily
make living, and as soon as they were willing
to remove to such the Government would re-
move them and have them taught how to build
houses and their young men instructed: He
did not want them to 60 unless they, wished,
and they could 60 home and consult with their
people about the matter this year. They
should be at peace with the whites, who greatly
outnumbered them, aud should conflict come
it would be worse for the Indians. After the
usual grunts of satisfaction from the chiefs
Grass" said their reservation was bad land,
but be was raised their and wanted to stay.
They also wanted their agent, Mr.. OConnor,
to remain with them The President promised
that their agent would be left with them, and
said that he did not want to force them from
their land.

THE LATE FAILURES IN BALTIMORE. The
affairs of the several lately suspended mercan-
tile firms of this city, viz: Kirkland Chase &
Co., Lazear Bros, VIM. Bayne & Co., j. {.
Bridges & Co., Perry & Co., and VIM D.
Shurtz 4 Co., as is generally known, are init
mately dovetailed with one another, and hence
it is found that in such measures as have been
suggested, so far, for adjusting the concerns OF
any one of them, consideration has had to be
given, more or less, to the effect upon all.
There have been meetings. as heretofore men
toned, OF the creditors of several OF the firms
separately, and VIM. Bayne & Co. had indicat
ed willingness to pay 50! cents cash and short
time, giving longer obligations which would
bring the aggregate up to S. cents in the dol,
lar, while VIM. D. Shurtz 4 Go. had offered
so cents on the dollar, numbers of the credit
ors in both these cases being willing thus to
compromise In the case Of Lazear Bros. it
had been proposed that they 60 into volunteer
bankruptcy In regard to these, as we'll as the
other firms, however, the larger outside credit
ors prove to be creditors of all, by holding pa
per made or endorsed by one or the other. 1t
is proposed therefore to arrange some general
plan, if possible, for adjustment. On Saturday
there was a meeting Of the creditors OF Kirk
land, Chase & Co., the larger and most deeply
involved house, at which Johns Hopkins, esq.,,
presided A statement of liabilities and assets
was presented by the firm, showing liabilities
of So, 100000, assets $l,900,O00. The liabili-
ties, it is understood, are to such extent on ac-
count of endorsements of the other suspended
firms, that they may be greatly reduced, ac-
cording as the assets of these houses shall be
realized, and are expected to show ultimately,
perhaps, not more than $500, 900 below the as.
sets. There was considerable discussion in the
meeting as to the advisabiity of the house 60
ing into voluntary bankruptcy, though ready to
offer 50 cents in the dollar. The expense and
delay OF bankruptcy, even voluntary, are ele-
ments of consideration, and in the discussion it
was urged that if that step should be deemed
necessary it was desirable that plan be devils
ed for this as we'll as other of the houses, to
have but one committee and one receiver, and
finally, without coming to any definite conclu-
sion as to plan of liquidation, resolution was
adopted recommending that if these firms, or
any of them. should 60 into voluntary bank
ruptcy that should be the mode of procedure.
The creditors meet again to-day.-Balttmo'e

4 St0ry With Il Moral.

When the late General John A. Quitman
was running against Henry S. Foote for Gov.
ernor of Mississippi, in 1851, he, not unreason-
ably or unnaturally, mounted his war horse,
brandished his sword in the air, and fought his
campaigns over again. He made battle field
of every stump in the State from Holly Springs
to the Louisiana line. Fellow ctizeus,' he
said, Il have been, all my life soldier in the
service of liberty and my country When the
bugle call of freedom resounded in Texas l
raised a command and rushed to the front,
sharing the glories of San Jacnto and the Lone
Star When the tocsin Of war was heard upon
the Rio Grande, again obeyed the summons,
and proceeded at once to the scene OF action.

along the line of Taylor and Scott, | breasted
the storm of shot and she'll, until at last, with
my own hands, placed the glorious star span
gled banner upon the halls OF the Montezu-
mas" Gen. Quitman was an earnest speaker,
brave and true soldier and man OF hand

that he said Of himself was true, and. Spoken,
among his native people, many of whom had
shared his glory and bis tolls, it was not out OF
place or season. 1t made a visible stir among
an effect But on certain occasion, when
the war feeling was apparently stronger and
more general than usual, he observed an old
man in the crowd quite overcome by feeling,
sobbing violently, and crying out every now
and then Amen" aud oh my Quitman.'
When the General had finished he sought out
this old man, and accosted him. My friend, .
said he, you seemed to be moved by what
said The old man declared that he had
never been so moved in his life, and then dry
ing his eyes. says he

Sure enough the people of Mississippi
thought so too. Gen. Quitman, in spite o.
his services and his merits, was not elected
Governor of the State. He was allowed t
seek in retirement the rest which his public
services entitled him to.
The story, says the Louisville CourlcrJour
nal, is not without its moral.

and his country has done enough for him. Be

Speaking of the Industrial Exposition in
Louisville, KY, the Courier-Journal OF that
city says tn every point of view the Expo
sition is more than success-it is a magnif-
cent triumph, and one Of which the entire city,
but especially the managers of the institution
ITSELF may we'll be proud. Every day only adds
to the extent of its success, and every week iu-
creases the measure of benefits to the city and
to all Immediately concerned in it. 1t is en-
phatically grand thing for Louisville And
this is the usual result of all Agricultural Fairs,
Industrial Expositions, &C., held in the cities
in this country. An Agricultural Fair, held,
annually, in Alexandria, which we have for
years labored to bring about would be of great
advantage to this place and all the adjacent
country.
