their finest array, which consisted OF
blankets, leggings aud mo ,cssIns,
beads, feathers and tinsel adorn-

head dresses reached to their heels
rnd their faces were Enthusiastically
painted. They each shook hands
with the President, several airing
their English by exclaIming chow
howl For only one Of their whole
number could speak in our tongue.
Then dozen or more of the great
est braves stood up in turn before
the Chief Magistrate and made their
speeches which were Interpreted sem
tence by sentence. Their gesticuls-
tons were impressive, aud some OF
their words pathetic. Good White
Father" said Que, take pity on us
and help u.s. The Great Spirit put
us on the earth AMI we must live,

things, evidently expecting an inn
mediate granting Of all theirrequests.
They wanted money; nice houses,
wagons, trunks, clothes, school hous.

Several conferences were necessary
to make them understand that they
must return to their reservations
without receiving these things, but
they all expressed wish to olive

Their visit recalled to minds that

Red Cloud, which occurred here sew

dinner and ball was given at the
Executive Mansion for the purpose
OF impressing the savage mind with
the power and grandure OF our Gov

impressed, too, but in somewhat
unexpected direction, for instance,
after Red Cloud had partaken un-

terzcd the campaign in South Ca,oliua,

Ice and MIR. Raney and ex-Stoto Senator

Tho proposed bank policy in aid of re-

PARTICULARS yesterday morning, was formally
considered and unanimously adopted yestcr
day by the banks which form the New York
Clearing House. This means that it will
be tho policy of all the banks in the country
because thoro is no bank outside of New
York which has not suoh relations to tho
New York banks az to have its action in
such a matter as this determined by their
united policy. The statcmcn,s which tho
banks make to the public concerning their
conclusions and policy is printed iu full

Alter the first OF of"January, 1879, the
banks of New York oity will:
/. Decline receiving gold coins MS "spc-
eial deposits" but accept and treat them
only as "lawful money"
q. Abolish special exchanges Of gold
checks at tho Clearing House.
3. Pay and receive balance between
banks at Clearing House either in gold or
| currency.
4. Receive silver dollars upon deposit
only under special contract to withdraw tho
same in kiud
s. Prohibit payments of balances at
Clearing House in silver certificates or
in silver dollars, excepting as subsidiary
coin in small sums--say under $l0
6. Discontinue the gold special accounts
by notice to dealers OH tho lst of January

ury can and must accomplish tho great end

determination of tho banks to exclude silver

that the banks cannot be expected to de-

US not entirely cxpedicnt, though it may do
no harm, as a further test of real demand
for " disgust against the silver dollar.
We suspect that before the small bills arc
noarly all withdrawn Mr. Sherman will be
overwhe!med with complaints and protests
from all parts of the country.
1t is not necessary to discuss in any
detail what must bo thepolicy of tho Treas
ury after tho lst of January. We have
repeatedly pointed out that tho banks must
necessarily seek to supply themselves with
gold, at least enough for current uso

need in all parts Of the country they will
draw from tho hoard in the Trcacury ip
exchange for grecnbacks. That is the
object aud main use of this hoard; aud Mr..
Sherman, who Of course secs this, will pay
out his gold with alaority and with entire
confidence, because in tho first place the
amount ho will have on hand on the LIST of
January will be sufficient for all immediate
and ordinary domunds of the bnuks and the
public; because, further, as ho pays out
gold, lis own obligations to redeem will
continually decrease, apd finally because ho
has behind him tho resumption act, which
permits and directs him to acquire all the
gold ho needs for the redemption of the
entire mass of legal tender notes by the sale
of bonds, and allows him to soil Mt his dis
crction for gold either four, four and huff
or Eve per cent bonds to any amount.
With the authority given him by this law
he can draw gold from Europe to any extent
he or tho banks may need; for under it his
rower is unlimited.
The country is warranted, therefore, in
regarding resumption on the lst of January
