Washington, July 80, 1886"

Reports are in circulation in this city about mis-
sion from Mexico, which have found their way
through the lettcr-wrers into the newspapers
Among these extracts, we find the following in the
Washington letter Of the " Baltimore American, :"
aug sly
"There are rumors in the city that messenger has
arrived from Mexico with terms of peace, or propo-
sails for peace and it upon this subject that Mr..
McDuffe Yesterday moved an executive session; and
the motion renewed upon the same subject at an
early hour to-day by the chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
'There are, from all accounts, overtures of peace
from Mexico, and the President, no doubt, has re.
ferred them to the Senate. This report which was
credited by few last night, is believed almost gene
ra lily now. There is therefore, the prospect of
peace with Mexico at no distant day, provided the
government of the United states is not determined
to carry war Of conquest with Mexico This
has been the determination; but the war proving al
this moment so burdensome upon the treasury that
there is disposition to pause before making any
further demonstration"
We are not advised that any messenger has ar
rived from Mexico, or that any overture has been
made by her to the government at Washington!
What prospect there may be for peace and at what
period it may be effected, we cannot undertake to
conjecture though it is certain that the President
will make good his repeated declarations to conclude
peace, as soon he can do consistently with the
rights of the United States. But it is equally certain
that these public and repeated illusions of the wings
peace, and their desire to obtain il by relaxing the
energetic prosecution of the war, are unfortunately
the very worst to secure the object desire.
IL we wish to obtain peace and to secure the objects

THE PoTToWATAMI EyTREATY.

We publish this important treaty in this days
Union. This treaty has been a subject of much
remark, it is understood, in the Senate and other
treaty, of an important character that has been ne
gotiated. The terms of the treaty in strict &C
cordance with a rule laid down by the Senate
within few years, and is free of all provisions
making reservations, for red or white men, on the
assumption of claims made by whites on the In
which have SO frequently been
cause of complaint and condemnation by the
Senate. 1t is made solely with reference TO the
great interests of the two parties by whom it was
agreed to--the United States and the Pottowuta-
mic Indians; and is not even blurred by a single
annuity or grant to an individual Of either party.
Great credit is due to the President and the Sec
rotary of War who directed this negotiation and a
full share to Colonel Medi the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, and to Major T. P. Andrews, the
senior commissioner, who engaged in carrying
out the views of the administration from the COM
mencement of the negotiation.
The rule Of the Senate referred to increased
greatly the difficulties of the administration, and the
labors Of the negotiators; but we understand that
both cheerfully assumed such increase Of labors,
believing the Senates rule to be both wise and JUST
and the happy termination of the negotiation has
proven il to be eminently The government, il
will be seen, has the power, well rs the will, to
make honest treaties with the Indians, in defiance
of the adverse influences which have heretofore but
too frequently prevailed on such occasions.
The negotiation was commenced at Washington
last fall, by General Gibson and Major Andrews as
commissioners, with large delegation Of Potto.
watamie chiefs, and was resumed and terminated
at Council Bluffs, north Of the State Of Missouri
and at the Usage river, west Of the same State by
Major Andrews as senior commissioner, with Maj
Thomas H. Harvey, of Missouri, and Mr.. g. G.
Matlock, of Tennessee, as associate commission.
ers.
BY this treaty, the possessory right of the Potto-
watamies to some six millions Of acres Of land is
extinguished-fv millions Of valuable land lying
between the Missouri and Mississippi, west of the
State Of Iowa and north Of the State Of Missouri,
and one million Of acres on the Usage river, west
the latter State. The State Of Iowa will by THU
treaty gain front on the Missouri river Of severn
hundred miles, and that State and the United State
obtain possession Of Ave millions Of fruitful AM
saleable land towards which large emigration ha
already been directed.
The Pouowstomie Indians have had a create
share Of English feeling than any other tribe withi
the limits Of the United States; and on their late 10
cation, they we're still within the scope Of Englis
influence. Many of the chiefs sat in council in tn

AFFAIRs IN CANADA.---We understand that the
last mail brought two dispatches Of importance,
The first relates to the address Of the house Of assem-
bly,, on MIR. Watts motion, praying for the abolition
of the drawback provisions imported for the use
Of the commissarat department, with pledge to re-
imburse, on the part of the province the duties paid
on such imports. .....s.. ....
To this Mr.. Gladstone replies that the principle Of
not suhjecting her Majestys service to provincial
duties must be adhered to- but that the mode Of dis.
charging them is not MATERIAL and that the govern
ment has no wish whatever to interfere with or inn
pede the collection Of the provincial This
may be taken as an assent TO the address; and the
next step, Of course, will be to pass and submit to
the crown bill providing for its objects.
Another despatch has been received with refer
ence to the prayer to tho English government to us,
its influence at Washington for obtaining the adnis
sion Of Canadian produce for consumption in the
United States on fair and reciprocal terms
In reply to this, copy is inclosed Of a despatch
from Mr.. Gladstone to Mr.. Pakenham, conveying
instructions TO the latter TO urge upon the America
government such reduction OF duties on Canadian
produce az may allow Of their consumption in tn,

recent negotiation, exhibiting English medals. By
this treaty they not only pledge their iealty the
United States, but located within forty or fifty
miles Of permanent garrison, Fort LsaVenworth,
and are placed Immediately adjoining the bravest
tribes of Indians this continent whose attachment
to the people and government of the United States
is mmovabe-We mean the Sha,oasss and Delsoayss,
whose wetried maxim is neper 10 tr, their backs on
their enemies.
The business provisions Of this treaty were great
ly desired by the government, and are highly mpor-
tant TO both the United States and the Indians From
the separation of the same people into various
clans, (the two principal ones being several hun
dred miles apart and from the removal of families
from one TO the other, and other causes, the pay
ment of their various annuties insured to them by
former treaties could not be made to them with
anything like accuracy. Nor could the large i'm
Provement fund, or their school fund secured to
them by the treaty of Chicago, be justly laid out
for their benefit at their late temporary locations.
Great confusion and constant dissatisfaction and
complaints have been the consequence, All those
complaints and evils permanently removed by
this treaty. The government can hereafter do them
full justice and give them every satisfaction, all
their annuities and benefits being thrown into one
mass, and by the services Of one agent Under
the supervision OF that agent, their adequate i'm
provement and school funds will be judeiously ap-
piled for their benefit and will be their own faul
or fate if they do not rapidly improve in the arts Of
civilization, in the education of their children and
in general comfort and happiness
We must repeat, therefore, that the Senate, the
and all those engaged in this good
and great work, are entitled to the thanks of the
country for their successful efforts in this case,
which have added to the urea of our rich lands in
The west, and to the making large tribe of "our
red brothers" permanently happy.
