TREATY WITH THE INDIANS

From telegrams and other official accounts
received BY the Secretary OF the Interior,
from Major General Curtis and the other
commissioners appointed by the President
- ,o,atiAt- t..aAt.s~ ~ ith tie Indlahs Oh the
Upper Missouri, it appears that their exer-
tions have been eminently successful. treaties
have been concluded with nine powerful
tribes, including the Winnecogoes, Blackfeet,
Sioux and Two Kettle, numbering about SIX
thousand souls, and portions of the y auc-
tons Sault, Arc and Orphaphs, representing
about six thousand four hundred SOULS.
The latest intelligence from Gen. Curtis
s+otas that information had been received
from other powerful tribes, of their desire to
meet the Commission and treat for peace,
but that in consequence OF the latenesS oil
the season it was not deemed practicable TO
treat with tribes so remote. In view oil the
short time which has elapsed since the Com
missioners was appointed the department
thinks they have accomplished as much, II
moi more than could be reasonably expected
and are entirely satisfied with the result.
NEGOTIATIONS with the Indian tribes of the
Inner Arkansas have not been less success
full. O.,
The Department is advised by General
sanborn and his associates of the conclusion
bv them of treaties with the Cheyenne.
| T,-arvtbinp seems to have been done which
was practicable this season, and there seems
bnt little reason to doubt that early in the
spring we shall be at peace with all the In
| dams on the Plains and elsewhere,

| REPORT.

Chief Engineers Darby and Kellogg have
| made reports to the Navy Department ofth'
late comparative trial of the machinery o
the Winoosh and Algonquin to determine
the enconomy of fuel with which the powel
was respectively developed. The trial wa
conducted in exact conformity with instruc
tions from the board of civilians, report tha
the Winooski's machinery made the ninety
six hour run, working in the most perfc
manner and steadily improved, giving bet
ter result for the last twelve hours than 70
the first. The performance of the maehiner
in every particular leaves nothing to be de
sired for the efficacy in a marine paddle
wheel steamer Its durability and reliabil
ity could be depended on for any length
cruising.

cap placed over his face. He stood erect
without faltering, evidently having neryed
| himself for the solemn event. Those ON the
platform retired to the railing, leaving the
doomed man in the centre of the structure.
! After few moments of profound quiet, the
drop at a preconcerted signal fell. The
sound thus oecasioned having reached the
ears of the promiseuous crowd outside OF the
| Old Capitol grounds, but who were not PRIV
ileged to visw the execution, was responded
to by repeated shouts of appreciation. The
convict directly after falling was consider
ably conVulsed in his legs, but the agony
was soon over. He hung about fifteen min
utes and then was cut down. His body
was placed on a stretcher and conveyed to
the prison, where it was placed in coffin
and transferred to Father Boyle for inter-
ment. His neck was broken by the fall.
All the proceedings occupied about three
quarters of an hour.

The New York Commercials special says:

Battle at the Inauguration Ball.

The letter of our Washington correspon-
dent, giving q detailed and interesting
description of the Inauguration Ball on the
4th, got somehow delayed on the way, and
has therefore been superseded by other ac-
counts. But as to the supper, "G." gives us
an item which we have not before seen and
which will do to be inserted in this place:
The Supper Committee had prepared an
ample and magnificent repast, but, just be-
fore it was ready, an untoward event oc-
Cured in the kitchen, which for time
threatened to deprive the hungry guests OF
two substantial dishes without which no
ball supper is complete. The African cook,
of high renown, having charge of the boned
turkey department, took exceptions to some
remarks of the African cook, also of high
renown, in charge Of the chicken salad de-
partment; and assaulted him by hurting a
dish of boned turkey full in his face; and
the latter replying to the fire with equal
effect by emptying dish of chicken salad
over the head of his antagonist, terrific
combat followed in which the conlbattants
used boned turkey and chicken salad at q
rate absolutely astounding to some mem
bers of the Supper Committee and the chief
caterer, who had arrived at the seat of war
and witnessed the general ruin without the
power to stop it. The tardy arrival of the
police. and the arrest of the negroes, ended
the destruction, when it was found some of
the ''fxins" yet remained.-St. Louis Re
publican. s ..
