THE LOSS BY THE FIRE TO INVENTIVE GENIUS. A prominent attorney has furnished the Interior department with the following views respecting the loss lo Inventive geuius by reason of the recent Post Oiftce fire : The destruction of the P-ten! Oftice models will #flect the public in three ways: 1. By preventing the reissue of patents based upon devices exibited in the motels, but not shown or described in the specifi-a- ons and drawings. ; 2. The publie willbe deprived ofthe bene- fil of the devices exbibited In the patented models—but bot shown or described in the patent to which they relate—as defenses against outstanding patents. 3. Many devices shown in the models but not shown or described in the patents them- selves, will probably be re- patented by others ‘han the inventor, thus depriviag the pudiic that much longer of the use of an invention shown in @ patent pga rantel. While the 1oss of the models is a serious one, itis much mitigated by the fact that a large portion ef the models d utterly worthless, and by the fact that a ma- jority of the devices are fully exhibited in the specifications drawings. tive Lines. at play, sa GEN.

Heraid. | Ht THH 810UX AT THE WHITE HOUSE. © with The “Great Their Pow-wow with Father.” The Grand Council of the Sioux delegation now in this city with their «Great Father,” the President, and the Secretary of the De- partment of the Interior, took place at the Executive Mansion today. Tue Iudian del- egation, exclusive of interpreters aad others accompanying them, Lumbers twenty-three ye *. inc'uding the celebrated chiefs Spot- 1 Tail and Red Cloud, and other subordi- nate sachems, amoug them Young-Man- Afraid of- His-Horses, Little Big Man, Two rs, Man-Who-Touches-the-Ciouds, Iron Cross, Crow-With-a Gocd-Voice, Friday, and Spotted Tail, jr. As has been stated in THE STAR, the delegation came to Washing- ton at the earnest request of Gen. Crook, who has bad much experience with the In- dians,and who has successfully conducted a@ number of compaigus against hostile bands. Notwithstanding th.s the geueral is a firm friend of the Indians, whose respect he has secured, and believes’ It gool policy to maintain friendly re’ ations with the Sioux, the most powerful tribe of Indians oa this continent, since they number from 35,000 to 40.000 souls, and could, in case of a war. muster from 5,600 to 10,000 warriors. Al” though the chiefs of the Sioux na’ last year signed urder an agreement to re- move from the.r vorth weatern ebraska 'o the Missouri r.ver, they hay ver gone, on account of the aversion ple to a cuang chain T peo loe Sires them mb involved permitti: ton are apparent. THE GR. The large Kast Room had been prepare] as the Grand Council Chamber.

Among those occupying rear seats were Mrs. Hayes, and her daughter Fannie, and a num of other ladies. THE PRESIDENT soon appeared accompanied by Secretary Schurz, Postmaster General Key, Seerctary Evarts; Gen. Crook, Assistant Secretary McCormick, Commissioner Smith, of the Indian Bureau; Commissioner Bentley, of the Pension Bureau; Bishop Waipple, of Minnesota; William Welsh, of Pailadeiphi Assis.ant Allorney General Marble, an 1 They all took their places standing in f.ont of the President’s table. A few minutes afterwards Lient. Clark took oo on the right of » President and called up the chiefs o e after another and introduced (nem to the Great Father. Little Big Man was the first one called up, aud shook the President cordially by the hand. Others followed uutil all had been introduced. Oxe of them on being sntroduced seized the President by both hands ejaculating in tol- erably good English, “How dy'e do! dy’edc! How dy’e do!” Which caused some amusement. HOW THE CHIEFS WERE DRESSED. As is cusiomary on such occasions, all of the chiefs were fancifully arrayed. Mostof them had adorned their faces either with red or yellow paint, Que had smeared his face wiih yellow paint, and on his cheek woues had daubed a large circle of red. Five of the Ogalallas (Ked Cioud’s baud) wore fall feather head dresses reaching nearly to tacir beels, ihe tips of the featuers being orna- mented wiih white down or coloroi horse hair, One of the Ogalallas,in - addition t> this head dress, wore on his head a pair oi buftalo hor Most of the other chieis wor. one or two eagle's feathers fastened in the rear of the head. Mauy of them wore large brass earriggs, and some were adorned with a breast piite of porcupine quills. § them carried palin leaves, while the win of eagles or tur her Spotted Tall nor Re paint or feathers. The Interpreters Were as stupid as usual und spoke in such a Jow tone of voics tuat the reporters were unable to hear them. While the other chiefs were speaking, Spot- ted Tall, with a pleasant smile on his face, at with his legs crosed and his hauds clasped about his knee, occasiona ly tara ing to say something to a chief on hls rigut. Some of the Indians wore capes of sk I)fal workmanship, trimmed with strands of hu- man bair resembling thatof white womea, being long and silken, and unlike the coarse hair of the Indian women. WHAT THE RED MEN WANT. Commissioner Smith introduced Mr. Welsh, who thanked the President for re- ceiving the Indians, and the Indians, through Lim, thanked the President. They rarely found the same Commissioner of In- dia Affairs, and they desired the President should keep the samme commissioner as long 5 possible, and thus greatly aid their cause. They did not want to go to the Missouri river ualess the government shonid drive them. They could not become civilized or keep im- morality hom their midst inthat regiou, and they asked such aid as the government could jive them. The Ogalallas desired some land uside of the reservation. They are all anxious to become civilized and to have their children educ: Toe Arrapahoes desired to go to another reservation aud be under the care ofthe Episcopal church. Taey Would speak for themselves. SPEECH OF RED CLOUD. Red Cloud first shook hands with the Pres- ident, and then with Mr. Welsh. He spoke as follows: “Our people have come three times before.

PATHETIC SPEECH OF BLACK COAL. Black Coal, the chief of the Arrapahoss. spoke as follows, Friday acting as luterpre- ter: Great Father, this ts the frst time I have come to see you and I want you to give me chance and take pity upon me.

The President then said: «1 have a great deal of business to attend to and @ great many people to talk to, and therefore the consultation will be adjourned Ull to-mor row mcrning at tea o'clock, wien I will be glad to see you all again. THE WARRIORS INTRODUCED To HAYES. At the request of Mr. Welsh, Lieut. Clark assisted by an Interpreter, then introduced the chiefs to Mrs. Hayes, Attorney General Devens, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Secretary of State. All of them seemed quite pleased with Mrs. Heyes, who received them graciously, and tuey bowed with the politeness of dancing masters when shaking hands. After the in- troduction, the chiefs filed out, and taking the omutbases fu waiting proceeded down the avenue to the Washington House. A detail of five policemen, under Sergeant Buel, was on duty during the council to pre- serve order. Kew York cans. ACTION OF THE CONVENTION YESTERDAY. The New York Republican Convention yesterday chose Hon. Roscoe Conkling for permanent president. Mr. Conkling moved that his name be stricken from the report, and that T. C. Platt pe made permanent chairman of theconvention. Mr. Conkling’s modon prevailed, and Mr. Platt was made pe:maneut chairman. THE PLATFORM. The committee on resolutions reported a series expressing the hope that the action taken by the President in the southern states Will result in peace, tranquility and jastice, insisting on purity, irugality and effict im every branch of the public ser Lo: &l aud state; no official nor officehold id be subject to political or partisan as- 1s, Or to interference in any way With his political rights or action, aud plaii laws should forbid and punish all attempis to make or enforce such assessments or to contro! or to abridge in auy respect the abso lute freedom in political action which ta tais count.y belongs to all vovers alike. The ex clusion of public servants from political ac tion would disfranchise a great body of oar fellow citizens. The laws make no such ex: clusion, and we deny as °n imputation upon the neople of New York tat they are or have bees dominated by the natioa’s subordinate offic als, and we can conceive of no condition of affairs short of extinction of manhood and patriotism in which a postmaster or @ clerk could subdue to his partisan will 152 other electors,or exert any other inilue! yond such as his character might giv him. Public faith, honest industry and the general prosperity demand a sound currency of coin, aud paper convertible iuto coin, anid the already near approach of specie enforce the wisdom and du of fal pursuing necessary steps to fall resumption within the time now fixed by law. Weop- pose any further land grauts or subsidies to corporations and monopolies, and hold that the public domain should be reserved for free homes of industrious settlers. We regard with and disapprove the demands coming from the promoters of various Schemes that profuse appropciations and grants shail be made and ihe national credit used to carry on works of various kinds, local and sectional in ch®racter, and not of urgent national importanes. We recognize equally the rights of property and the mat liness and dignity of Tabor, deprecaiing an resort to violer ce in the name of cither. W insist at all times upon the supremacy of the law and the maintainance of public orter. 1A PRESIDENT'S POLICY AMENDMENT. George Wm. Curtis, whea the reading was concluded, moved to amend by sub: @ proposition asserting generally tide of P i i bi at commending the Pres al Cunduct and policy 1 carrying out the pledges of the national Convention. Mr. Curils proceeded to support his proposition at leagth. Lyman Tremaine spokeagainst theamend- ment. The genezal point of his argument was that while there was to be no abandow- ment of the flag under which the party has so often marched to battle and viclory, [ap- lause,] there was .10 necessity to introduce uis frebrand on points in regard to which there are such wide differences of opiaton. SHARP DEUATE. The convention reassembied at 7:50, and the debate, which became very animated, was continued on Mr. Curti: yinents dihfully applaase,) Who brought in question the policy of theadm/inistratiouand Teproved it.
