INDIANS WITH THE PRESIDENT.
This afternoon a delegation of rePre
sentative men of the Cherokee, Choctaw,
Creek and Chickaiew Indians had an in
terview with the President. Over twenty
persons were present, including Col.
Dawning, Chief, Judge Field and Col.
Adair; of the Cherokees, Gov. Wright,
of the Chawtaws, Calbert Carter, Chief
of the Chickasaws,George W. Steadam,
of the Creeks, an other prominent rep
resentatives of these tribes. Upon being
introduced.to the President, Gov; Wright
stated in behalf of the civilized ,tribes of
Indians represented, that they-appeared
before him to pay their respects
and extend their congratulations to him.
The administration, he said, was looked
upon with confidence, and they were
highly gratified with, the President's
declaration, in Ids inaugural address,
that he would do whatever was for the
best interests of the Indian tribes. The
speaker, in behalf of his representation,
presented to the President a memorial,
stating substantially their agreement in
treaty stipulations to use their influ
ence in behalf of the plains Indians, and
they informed the President of their de
sire to acoomplish a - lasting peace be
tween the Government and the Indians,
which they felt confident of accomplish
ing if upheld by the Government in their
efforts.
The President replied he was glad to be
informed that they would - aid the policy
for peace between the whites and In
dians, and would be glad of anymeasure
which would accomplish that peace and
tend to their civilization and make them
citizens of the government, He felt that
the march of civilisation alone must, of
itself, effect the civilization of the tribes
now hostile to the government.
Governor Wright thought if the In
dians were brought to the borders of
civilized nations, and would settle there,
the influence of civilization and chris.
tianity would effect much good, stop' the
shedding of blood, and as the President
shem.uggested, ultimately make citizens of
t
The delegates are fine, intelligent look
ing men. The interview was of a very
pleasant character.

'sand four hundred and eighty bills were
introduced. Thus far about four hun
dred have been introdueed in the present
Congress.

ative business. Congress, instead of
passing the bill. might far better recon
sider and undo its previous act, tying up
the capital of the country and destroying
its industries.
' Mr. DA.VI.S renewedi•the amendment
offered to the bill in last Congress, de
claring that -the 4/liable measure of
the obligation of the United States upon
outstanding bendb is the value in coin
of the paper currency paid for the bonds.
He spoke in advocacy of this amend
ment, and in opposition to the pending
bill. which he said was not legitimate
legislation, but an attempt by. Congress
to construe previous legislation.
The amendment was rejected.A • •
message was 'received from the
'House that they had passed the bill to
'strengthen the public_credit, and on me- •
tion of Mr. SHERMAN, the bill as it
passed the House, was substituted for the
one before the Senate.
Mr. VICKERS offered an amendment,
which was rejected.
Mr. BAYARD opposed the bill on the
same grounds as in the previous debate.
Mr. CARPENTER opposed it, because
he was unwilling to admit that there was
or ever had been any dotibt of the bon-.
esty of the people, and because he be
lieved that by a fair construction of the
law and a fair consideration of the cir
cumstances under which; the bonds were
issued, the faith of the Government was
as fully pledged as it could be. The pas
sage of the bill now might produce some
future Congress to repeal it, and that it
world injure the credit of the nation far
more than the passage could benefit it.
Besides, if the country should hare re-
Burned specie ppyments by the time the
bonds should become due, that would
settletbe difficulty with Out legislation.
