New York, October 1S.-Mr Garcia,
| Peruvian Minister in Washington, pub
fishes a communication, enclosing an cir
cular from his government, warning
Americans against entering into any con-
tracts with the revolutionary authorities
| in his country under the lead of General
Cans6es. Partiular caution is given in
regard to the matter of guns.
Indian Affairs in the Far West.
A special to the Times, dated Washing
ton, 18th, says: The Secretary of the In
| terror, to-day, received a dispatch from
Brigadier-General j. G. Sanborn, one OF
the commissioners appointed to negotiate
with the Indians of the Upper Arkansas,
dated at the council ground, October 18th,
stating that the ArapahOes and Cheyennes
were there. Two meetings with them
had taken place and a treaty of peace was
| expected to be concluded with them on
the following day, which the eominissioh-
ers think will result in good to all con-
cerned. General Sanborn says there are
many of the above tribes, north of Platte
river, that wish to return to their homes
were it safe to travel, and recommends
that an escort be provided for them.
| Many Kiowas, Camanches and Apaches
were also in the council and nearly all
are expected to come to terms.
From Louisiana.
The information from Louisiana is that
much confusion and trouble prevail in that
State, some of the parishes refusing, or
being reluctant to recognize Mr.. Wells as
the legal Governor, therefore it is not i'm
probable that either he or some other per-
son will be appointed Provisional Cover
nor in order that harmonious action may
follow the present political confusion.

ginia is occupying a good share Of the

episode in treasury life occurred to-day.

called on Hon. Freeman Clarke, Comptrol-
Ter of Currency. In the course of con-
versation about thecurrency national debt

be required TO help pay the national debt

said he thought they would. Gov. Pier.

southern people wouldn't stand such dam
ned nonsense; as the Governor was evi

Mr.. Clark, who is mild and extremely
affable man, did nothing more than show
