content: Indian Delegations At Washington. Two Indian delegations from the friendly tribes of Dacotah Territory visited Washington during the latter part of February. They consisted of the chief men of the Sioux and Yancton tribes, and numbered over one hundred persons. The chiefs were dressed in full Indian costume, and attracted much attention. They were accompanied by Governor Foulk, of Dacotah, and were in Washington for the purpose of framing new treaties.

On the 23rd of February they visited the White House, and were introduced by Secretary Browning and Indian Commissioner Bogy to the President. The reception took place in the East Room, in the presence of a large number of persons, including the families of the President, Secretary Browning, and other officials. The speeches on the occasion were of the usual stereotyped form of such affairs. The remarks of Mr Bogy to the President were interpreted to the Indians, and were approved by them in their guttural ejaculation of "Ugh !" The reply of the President, unlike most of his speeches, also met with approval. -- Harper's Weekly, March 16, 1867, page 173.
