Auy diligent reader of Tuz TRIBUNB yester- duy would Lave notived that a judgwent waa eatered Weudnesday ugainst the State Baviugs fustitution, snd fu favor of Georgy A, Cushing, for the sum of §2.248.50. Yesterday moruing Muesra. Iligh aud Bouney appeared bufore Judize Wilisms aud usked for & rule agulust Mr. 0. A. Childs, the attorney tor Cushing, to show cauge why be should not be puunished for contempt in takiug judgment sgainst the bank when it was lo the bands of a Recelver. MMr. nigh contended that the question was one of great impourtance, s it decided whether sowe creditors could pur- suc thelr clafws and galu a preference ut the expense of the others, Tue first few tu get fuds- weuts and cxecutous would eat up e whele of the remalning ts of the ba and Teave nothing for the great bulk of the depositors. The attorney. Mr. Chinds, had attempted to embarrass the Canrt in theadminiateation of the bhank property. The posacssion of the Recelver was the posseszion of the Court, and it was grossly unfust to atlow a depositor to go futo nnother court and enforce his claims at tho cx- pense of the majority. Mr. Childs replied’in his own defense that he had only done what he was bound ta do for his client, and had he done less would have been liable to an action at Cualifng's hands. He was not a party to tho Eames euit, and up to Wednesiny afternoon no legal transfer had been made to the Recelver. This he had scen and taken alvantage of, and he thought his *udzment would take precedence of tho trans- er. Judge Booth hnd “held that he could take L\:lzmem‘ and hia action before that Judge had o1 only to ascertain his client’s elaim, (en, Smith, on behall of Mer, Childe, mado o sliarp attack on the professional conduct of the Recelver's attorneys In acting on behalf of the complainant Eantes, and alsoof the Reeciver, contrary to all rules of practico, The Recelver only represented auch persons as were parties to the énlum suft, Judge Willlams hela that a party had a right to get a Judgment, as that wns only a means of nscertatning and fixing the amount of his clatm, A Receiver could neftner sue nor be sued with- out order of Court, and tho assets in his hands were A fund which coull 1ot be finter- fered with nnless by onler of Court, The Court had Juriadicifon over the property, and wonld protect both b and the Recelver as against persons not partics to the original bill, ‘The Judge thought ke had a right to {ssue an order restraining Crshing andd his attoruey from takluz any steps hy virtue of the Judgmient to embarrass the Recefver or interfere with his !mmulun of the property. But he did not feel hat ha oucht to fssuc an order for contempt agajost Childs. It was one thing to sue the Receiver nnd another thing to sue the bank, The latter kind of suit would be brought, though It was unnecessary. But if the plaintif undertook to enforee his judgment by execution nn lngunctlan would be gganied. The attach- ment for contempl was therefore dended, but an ln{‘uucllun was granted restraining Childs fromn taking nuy further steps towands enforcini his client’s Judginent. AT TIR BANKS there was nothing new ‘ycntcnlny. Judge Ots, with nods,and becks,and wreathed amiltes, hand. ed to the reporter the following FORM OF TRANSFEN OF DEPOSIT-DOOK. !

Howard Presents Himself--'' The Biblo Chief” Says Amen to Everything. Joseph's Admiration for Geme Milegess 1 Want to Surrender to You.” Indinus sa Military Engincers—A BRe- markablo Bories of Intranohments and Rifle-Pits, Iy Tetearaph to Kew York Herald, Font BexToN, M. T., Via lnLeNA, Oct. 14— Tt has been aacertained that the resources of Chief Joseph and his band were on the most ex- tonsive scale, thelr equipment being really re- markable for {ts value and completences, From the time when Joseph first left his stronghald fn Oregon until the day Lo was encountered by Gen. Miics, on Snake Creck, his band travoled nearly 1,500 miles, This was a wonderful march, as Joseph did not perform it with his warrlors alone, for he bad with bim, during the entire campalgn, all tho wives acd children of his dusky brayes. Although his movements wero naturnlly In cumbered by the presence of theso women and children, the wity Chief, during his wholo march, displayed at alk times all those qualitics and do- vices only possessed by a first-rate military commander, and hie conducted the march with, consummate ability and shrewdness. It was this superior Intelligenco and milltary kil on his part which enabled Wim to outstrip his pur- sucrs, aind almost galn success in his Jamous re- treat toward the mountains, - JOSEPI'S STHANGTI! AND ARMAMENT. ‘The fighting strength of Joseph's band con- sisted of something more than 300 intrepld war- riors, all {nured to hardships of savage warfare, und tralned to n skillful use of modern ircarms, All of these warrlors were magulficently armed srith the best description of magazine rifles known to the military service, and it would he Interesting to know how these Nez-Perces In- dians were able thus toequipthemselves, though it 18 to be Inferred that thess rifles wero pro- curcd though traders, andat an enofmoust cost, for the prices of such wenpons must have great- 1y increaacd aver those asked fu Enstern citles, Besides these magazines or repeating-riflcs, Jo- seph also carrfed with him on his retreat a num- ber of neodle-guns of thie longest rauge, n few of which were provided with telescopo alghts, spowice how advanced in military eclonce and knowledge was the leader of the band. Oneof therifles In Joseph's posscssion was a Crecd- moor sporting rifle of thepattern most approved in New York, When he started out on the march in Uregon, Josevh took with him 2,000 horacs snd ponies, 80 that he had enoush animats to enablo all of the squaws and little ones to ride, and at the same thne leave suflicient to provide three steeds for each fighting warrlor, WY HOWARD FAILED TO OVERTAKE JOSTPIL Gen. Howard failed to catch Joscoh for the shinple reason that he began the pursult with an fnadequato force, a part of which was totally unprovided with tho necessary cquipment for the projected campaign. Thus hls effective nrngfth was reduced and lifs movements im- peded. The chase after Joseph wus cntered upon by Qen. Howard with too fuw horses for the lunz raco the Nez Perces led histroops, once the pursuit was fuirly commnenced; and, 'lmlm: compelled to make repeated halta to reat his men und horses, Howard lost considerable time, and Joscph was able to iucrease the dlstance from his pursucrs. OEN, HOWARD'S ¥IRST MISTAKE. It has been discovered that, had Gen, Howard nppreedated the situation at the beginnlug, and beon more couversant with tho Indlun nature, there might have been no Nez-Perces campalgn at all, for Joseph aod his band would have sur- rendered In Oregon had tho terms dictated been less harsh and hnperative, The Nez-Perces Chiel wud his tribo wern so well off In thelr own country, so attached to thelr homes and farms, whero they had become partially adapted to agrleultural pursuits, that they might have sur- rendered to Gen, Howard on his nrst demand, hud that officer uccompanied his summor the sinlster promiso to Joseph that, I he should surrender, hie would be subjected to the decis- lonol a lhllr.nry Commission, to bo appolnted {forthwith, Thit was Gen, Howard's firat mla- tuke, for, under such a threat, Chief Joseph, s brothier, und White Bird, with the rost of the Nez-Perces Chiets, resolved in_councll not to subinit if thoy conld avold {t. ‘The great num- bur of horses possessed by them cnabled these Indians to distance Gen: Howard throughout their lung arch, HOWARD'S 0MISIIONS, ‘When the entlre truth abuut the Noz-Perces campulin conics to he known, und {t caunot bo fully known until both Gen, lowarnd and Chict Juséph ure secn and give their verslons: of their ndividual inovemnents, it will probably aopear that, while Gen.

With a spirit that becawe a Clristian soldicr, Gen, Howard went up to Gen, Miles sud said to hiw: “{eueral, [ cume here and find that it s all right. Thisis your fight.

Miies, the wily Chicftain drow himaelf up haughtily and rafd: “T want to surrender to you." SOSRPI'S PRRSONAL AVPRARANCE. As the Indian Chief thus stood before his cap- tor a aclf-acknowledged prisoner, i presented the figure and mnien of as gallant a warrior- chieftain ns ever confessed himself falrly beaten at tho game of war, About 85 years of aze, flvo fect ten Inchesin height, and elad in a pair of blanket trouscrs, leggings, and moccasing, he wore none of the war-palut or ravage bravery ol headdress and feathera which usually adorn an Indian warclor on the warpath, 1ils features, regular and hanidsome In thelr outiine, wera covered by hardlyawrinklo, Hiscyas, black, brill- fant, and as plerving as an eagle’s, rested on those of Gen, Miles with an expression at onco melancholy and reserved. His long black hale wns gathered Into n loose queue ¢ the back of( his head, and ornamented with n simple cluster of creen feathers, Two long bralds descended from his temples and hung down in front of his cars, Buch wna the mau who for so long a time had bade defiance to_his pursuers, and who had slmost maincd the refuge he aimed for. TIIE SURRENDER ACCOMPLISIIED, As Josepl uttered tho brief salutation to Gen. Mlles already recorded, he handed that brave officer his rifle, with the barrol polnting toward the *gnmnd. When the weapon had thus changed hands, the Chief paased quletly to one side with a_guttural *‘How!" as he gave laca to his followers, The other Chicfs and hieir companfona who had followed Joseph fato the camp performed the same ceremony. To those who witnessed tho remarkable scene, it Eecmcd a8 though the n‘j;mvca were not savage ostlles, but rude knights of the plains and wmountalns, who, finding themselves fairl beaten, handed up their weapons in true chival- ric fashion. Instead of bright lances and heavy shiclds, thess Indians surrendered death-denling riflies, and, In reversing thelr weavous, Rave a slgnlhwnce to the act easily appreciated by the veterans who wero rlent witnesses of It. TNB WARRIORA COMM IX, ‘This ceremony of surrender on the part of Chief Joacph and his principal warrlors beean at 2 o'clock . m. on the Gth inst, It was kept up in s desultory sort of fashlon ell through the attornoon. From thino to time the Indlaus for- sook thelr rifle-pits, indivldually and In groups of two or three, to come _across the debatalie line and dellver themselves up as prisoners-of- war, The fact that these warriors falled to como up in n body was pecullarly characteristic of tho Indlan nature, for it was ‘hard for them to voluntarily acknowledge themsclves worsted.

Miles are not mistaken in thelr information, thers was not a single dead Indian found in the captured camp, nor at the tine of their departure had the troops discovercd the nurlnl-rlm:o of the Indluns who were undoubt- cdly kilted during tho desperato fight. It must not be supposcd that there werg none killed fa the Indlan ranks, for It Is almost certaln that the band lost nearly thirty killed in tho first assault upon them by our troops, and they must have Jost more killed during the ‘progress of the cngagement. A RELUCTANT CHIEF, White Bird, ono of Joseph's Chicfs, failed to coma in with the other leaders, and declined to give himsclf up on the morning of the Ot Finding that he would not appear, Gen, Mlles and_Gen. Howard, accompanled by Mr. John Healy, tho scont latest here from tho scene of the surrender, went down into the camp and ex- plored tho Nez Perces’ Intrenchments, but found that White Liird was mlssing. NOT WORTIL A MULE. One of the Indians then stepped forward and {ntimated that, if Gen. Miles would give hin o mule, he would {: out and find White Bird. Gen. Miles turned to Gen. Howard, saying: “1 haven't got any uso for White Bird, I've ‘mt]nl'llhu traps, and don't think he is worth a mule.! Uen. Howard agreed with this view of the valuo of the missing Chief, and they continued, at somo personal visk, thefr tour together through the linc of Indian futrouchments, NEZ-PERCHS' ENOINEERING DEFENSHS, Theso Intrenchments couslated mainly of a sorios of rifle-pita dug deep into tho carth, and thoy were arranged In some respectawith & skill which would hava dove credit to an educated military engincor.
