The Extra aensIon.

It was q fortunate thing that
President Hayes postponed the
calling OF the extra session of Con-
gress until now. Had it been call
ed early in the season there is no
doubt but that there would have
been trouble not only In the ranks
of the Republican party, from the
prejudice ana i'll blood that prevail
ed over his policy, but that the dis
sessions would have seriously affec-
ted the business interests OF the
country at large. The liberalizlDg
effects of little cool reflection over
the situation has been beneficial TO
all. The Presidents honesty and
patriotism are not doubted, and
even among his bitterest enemies
there is q widespread expression
in favor of awaiting the logic of
events. This is the feeling of many
already arriving in Washington,
and if we mistake not the indica-
tons are good for an earnest, broad
and statesman like view of the inn
pOrtant questions to come before
the session which opens . week
from next Monday. The less time
there is spent at this session wrang-
ling over tee differences between
the President and prominent Re-
publicans, the better the people will
be satisfied.

Indians a. VvashInxton.

A delegation Of twenty-three In
dian Chiefs have just been inter-
viewing President Hayes. Among
them was Spotted Tail, Red Cloud,
He Dog, Little Big Man, Iron Cross
and Others, as well known. They
were entertained ct government
expense at the Washington House,
and each was fitted cut with Q suit
of clothes before returning home.
Several Of them were there for the
first time, and Notwithstanding their
proverbiAl stoicisn, manifested
much interest in the novel sights
Of civilized life. On Friday Com
missioner Smith presented them to
the "Grest Father" at the White
House. All save the two first nam
ed were decked out in paint and
feathers, in the regulation style pre-
scribed for State occasions. There
appeared none OF the defiant man
ner observed at former visits OF
Chiefs. They all agreed In begging
not to be removed from their pres
snt reservation to the Missouri riV-
or. Their most imperative needs,
according to the testimony Of each
that spoke, were wagons and har-
nesses, and about all urgently ex-
pressed their desire for schools, the
education Of their children, minis
tiers to be sent them, and that they
be put in the way to become ciyiliz-
ed citizens. At their last visit to
the President he spoke to them rs
follows:
"My friends, 1 am glad to see you
again this forenoon am glad to
see you dressed like white people
you look well in your clothes like |
white people. It shows that you
like to live like white people. l |
have not much to say about the
business that brought you here, in
addition to what / said to you last |
week. You have spoken about the
places where you wish to have your |
agencies. / am glad you would be |
satisfied to have your agencies on |
the reservation allotted to you, but, |
as told you, it is too late in the |
season to change your present agen-
cies. 1t is too late to remove your |
supplies to the places yOu have |
named; winter will soon come on |
and the streams will be frozen up,
and then no movement Of supplies |
can be made. We want you to help |
your people to move near to sup
plies, and Gen. Crook will assist |
you to do so. Next spring places |
can be selected near White river |
that will salt you. And now among
the things you have asked for you
want trunks and overcoats aud |
money. The great council of the |
nation has put money and property
for you in charge of the Secretary of |
the Interior, and he can give you
whatever the great council has au- |
thorized him to give you, and / |
think he can satisfy you; and as
this is the end of our grand council, |
let me advise you to move a. near |
the supplies as you can, and next
spring you can 60 to your reserva-
ton. l am glad you are satisfied |
with White river. i hope you will |
all reach your homes safely and in |
good health. Before You 90 the
secretary will give You as many of
the things you have asked for as he |
can and now I will be glad to |
shake hands with each of you and
wish you WELL"

..Fsnd the GreenDack.."

The leading hard money and re-
sumption organs are now developing
the second part of their financial pro-
gramme, by claiming that as it has be-
came evident Ito them, we suppose,)
that the greenback currency cannot be
brought to and kept upon a legal
specie resumption basis, the only prac-
ticable way to "resume'' is to fund the
greenbscks into interest bearing bonds,
and thus dispose OF them at q cir
cUlating medium. That this is the only
practicable manner Of "resuming and
maintaining specie payment" and that
it is the intent of the present resumption
law, has been frequently stated in our
columns, aud before the coming ses-
sion of Congress is over very few pa
pers or people will contradict thIs
view. To show how the metropolitan
resumption journals are now bringing
their readers up to face the inevitable,
we clip the following from the New
York Times Of the 18th ult.:
The inherent and incurable badness
of Government paper as currency,
which Is pointed out by Mr.. Chitten-
den, lies, as he says, in its subsection
to the control of Congress, which Is
not and cannot be made ut to control
1t. The practical question Is how pub
Tic opinion can be aroused to the great
need of forcing Congress to surrender
this dangerous power. To that end
Mr.. Chittenden's letter Is contribution,
because its author Il an experienced
business man and practical financier
as q student of finance. What Il most
the assumption which Is quietly max
ing its way, that If large crops, large
exports, and small imports brings
enough gold to the United States TO
make our legal tenders at par, and
keep them there for 3 short time, we
shall have reached Presumption"
But such an event would not change
the worst features of our currency.
The legal tenders would still be In
existence; the treasury, according to
the present theory of IL MANAGEMENT,
would still have the right to reissue
them; the necessity Of redeeming
them at presentation would be q con-
slant embarrassment, and Congress
would always stand ready TO suspend
such redemption, and would have
plenty of specious arguments for do
Ing 80. The only safety Is 10 provide
for the gradual reduction and perma-
nent retention OF the legal tenders by
funding. We may have to have worse
times than we have yet seen, 70 bring
US 70 this, but 1t will come sooner or

A New CardIG Giant.

There is considerable talk now in
the newspapers about q petrified
giant recently found some sixty
miles south Of Colorado Springs,
Colorado, by Mr.. Counat, late edi-
tor of the Colorado Mountaineer.
The petriflcAtion is said to be AL
most perfect, aud is oyer seven feet
tall. Il is q brother to the Cardi Il
giant. It is now undergoing exam
inAtion by scientists and others.
One thing in connection with this
discovery ELECTS 3 sort of q grin on
the countensnces of many people,
and that is that the prince of ham,
buggers, p. T. Barnum, is out
there, and arrived at the scene Of the
discovery within = short time after
it was made, and offered Mr.. Conant
$4,000 for his 'tgiant." There are
those incredulous enough to believe
that Pkineas is at the Bottom of the
affair, and that 1t is q regular put mp
job to catch the peoples dimes.

The Northwest.

Senator Plumb, accompanied by
his accomplished wife, made visit
to the northwestern portion of the
State last week. 1t is the right
thing for n representative of the
people. In a government like ours,
to visit his constituents, for by so
doing he becomes acquainted with
their condition and needs, and is
the better prepared to act intelli-
gently on matters concerning their
interests. The senator made rath-
er extended visit in the counties of
the northwest portion of the State,
and returns with enthusiastic prals-
es for the country and the people.
Many important towns have sprung
up in that region within q few years,
which are doing good business
and growing rapidly. The people
are wide awake and the extent Of
the wheat, corn and other crops, the
improvements. and the condition of
the country generally agreeably
surprised him.
