WASHINGTON, April |.
- The Indiau troubles in Oregon and
Washington Territories have at length at
tractei the attention Of Congress and
measures will bc taken to put an END to
them. A proposition was made in the
House yesterday TO place three hundred,
thousand dollars at the disposal of the
President for the purpose of purchasing,
or conquerinG, a peace, as circumstances
may direct, with the Inlian tribes in those
territories. 1t was debated in the Com
mittee of the Whole till a late hour but
without definite result.
The tenth reception at the Presidents
house took place last Friday evening, and
proved as brilliant as any OF its predeces-
sors. IN fact, these are always gay, al
ways attractive, always interesting, always
instructive. True, there is always a jam,
but then you arc crowded with people
who dou't meet every day, and there is
q heap of fun in "bobbin around now
against a foreign diplomat, fierce in mus
tache and whiskcrs, and now against a
lady fair, fascinating inriaglets, rouge pearl
white and a dress affording astronomical
students an excellent opportunity of study
ing the variations in the 'milky way" \
Presidents leyee is an institution peculiar
in itself, and may be termed q democrats
%tocrat, assembiagc; democratic, because
professcGly open to the people, aristocrat-
ic because enjoyed only by those having
good luck in the shape ola fine wardrobe.
The reunions are productive of very gen.
eral good, however. They afford to the
weary cabinet officer and care-worn states
man an evening Of wholesome relaxation,
ana there is 10 telling how many suits have
been faYorably considered aud beneficial
measures concocted under the genial III
huence Of q levec. And then again, whc
knows how many tender declarations have
been made while the marine band vert
playing, 'pop goes the weazle"-it were
too cuTiouS to calculate. The Presidenr
appeared in fine health and spirits, bu'
his aniable lady seemed worn and wearieC
by the excitement Of the occasion; she i
in very delicate health.
Col. Fremont is preparing a history 0
his expeditions which is to be published
in q style uniform with DR.. kane's book
and hy the same enterprising publishers

These books will be the most valuable an,

Things generally.

ethel arrival of the Asia confirms the
report of peace in Europe. The terms of
the treaty are substantially the Same that
were included in the -four points which
We published some time since. 1t is not
o sEictery to- boast of by either party.
Hundreds of thousands of lives have been
fost; millions of money have been spent,
and the result at last is a compromise.
The balance of power which vas so premi-
neut an object in the beginning of the war
remains about where it was before. Rus.
faawnf beno less feared, and her influence
will be no less powerful than before the

ii The Pacific has not yet been heard from,
and, i in all probability, never will be.
Hopes are ycsentertained by some persons
ywpelIl informed in such matters, but they are
fast giving way. The City of Glasgow, il
Win be reeolleeted was looked for hope
fully months after she wa due, but looked
TOR in vain. BIS ~
Affairs ID Kansas are quiet. The PEG
ple,seem 10 have come to their senses.
tesiThe current of public opinion is still
increasing for Buchanan. We have very
Ifttieidotbt of his nomination. The Fu-
ssionists at washington are taxing their
ingenuity to the utmost to form a combina-
ton which win stand some chance ofsuc-
cess in the next election. Meetings are
held every week and alkinds of PROPOSE
tions possible and impossible arc discus

no doubt that next fall we will be over

The New Hampshire Election.

-AS W. " * EolALL
The Newport New hampshire Argus
of the 2lst ult., says:
"Under all circumstances, the result of
the election cannot fail to be highly graf
flying to the democratic party, and dis
couraging TO their opponents. Had the
election taken place q few weeks later,
the democrats would have triumphed by
a decided majority. The political current
was setting strongly in their favor, while
their opponents had not the power to pre-
ventit. The State may lie considered as
certain to go for the democratic nominee for
President, at the fall election, b yama.jor-
thy ofthousands. Many who voted the Hin
doc ticket at the last election say that they
have done it for the lasttime, and that here
after they shall stand square upon the dem
ocratic platform. 1t is certainly crafty
ing to know that Hindooism is upon its
last legs, and that New Hampshire is
soon to take her place in the democrat
ic phalanx."
The New Hampshire Patriot says that
WDeH driVeh 70 choose Air. NeitS
and Mr.. Metcalf, q majority of members
of Legislature have declared that they
should vote for Mr.. Wells. The political
character of the Legislature, therefore,
can be regarded in no other light than as
q very positive evidence of the popular re-
pudiation of H%Iindooism; and if it Should
prove to contain 8 majority for Mr.. Wells
it will stand as a signal proof of the con
fdence of the people in the patriotism ant
honesty of the democratic party.

A slanaerer

We suppose that no one at all acquaint-
ed with the doings of our Fusion Legis-
lature viii doubt for a moment the truth
of the following. It's similarity to an
incident which occurred in another State
argues nothing against its truth; that is
merely q coincidence.
As Mr.. RI of this county, who
bears a striking resemblance to a certain
Fusion member of the Legislature from
this part of the State, was rcturningfrom
Columbus, a few days since, he happened
to be in the same car with a talkative lit
tie man, who was endeavoring to make
himself agreeable generally The little
man after awhile approached AIR. R,
and with a pleasant smile remarked:
81 may be mistaken, bat it appears 10
me that l have seen you before. You
are a member of the Ohio Legislature
from - county, are you not?"
"sir!." exclaimed Mir. R. %iiercely,
DO l look as if I would make lying
promises Of retrcnchment to the people,
and then pick their pockets through the
treasury Do | look as if / could be
bribcd by the banks to exempt them from
taxatiou? DO / look like a p~ickpocket, a
traitor, a s~coandrel? Sir! do II
"No sir, not at all sir" sta'nmered the
frightened little man, Il leg pardon sir,
/ meant no offence sir, I do assure you, |
apologize sir, l humbly apologize" 81
DWELL, we'll, I'll accept your apology"
said Mr.. RI, somewhat Modified;
"yoa may call me a convict from the Pen
itentiary, or a culprit fleeing from the
gallows, but, sir, never again mistake me
for q Fusion member of the Ohio Logis-
%lature, until you have made peace with
your Maker"
The talkativc little man remained pre-
foundry quiet during the remainder of the
trip.
