Northwest Indian Commission. dated ''Steamer

informing him that the Commission arrived a,
that place on the 7th instant, and found there
the lower Crow Chiefs the upper Crow Chiefs
were expected every day: the Chiefs of the
Grosventors OF the prairie and three bands Of
the Assinneboins. There was encamped near
the Fort four hundred lodges Of the Oncpapas
They all talked in the most pacific manner, and
will, doubtless, treat in such a way as to give
complete satisfaction. The Commissioner
would probably not see the Santees, though
from all accounts, large majority Of them
desire to make terms. Mr.. Edmonds hoped to
finish their labors there during the next week
and return TO Fort Berthold, where they ex.
pected to be detained three or four days before
starting for home. Mr.. Newton states that the
negotiations are regarded as signally success
ful, and. IL is believed that the tribes treated
with will regard their treaty stipulations for
very long time.

CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS.
CONGRESS AND THE FENIANs.

Intelligent lrishmen here and elsewhere
know that the President and Secretary of
State had but one course to pursue in refer
ence to the Fenian invasion of Canada, and
that was to execute the existing laws. This
PLAIN duty they performed promptly and thor.
oughly, but SIS humanely as possible. In no
wise responsible for the existence of our strin-
gent neutrality laws, they We're bound by oath
TO see that they were not violated, and had
they failed TO do so. none would have con-
demned them in stronger terms than those
who now seek to make political capital out or
the action Of the Administration in this affair
Why did not these latter day friends OF Erin
at the Capitol exhibit their sympathy earlier
IN the session, ard in more practical man.
nerl Congress was sitting at the time of the
first and last Fenian IN vasions. The stringen-
cy of the neutrality laws was well known to
honorable members. who also knew that they
would be impartially executed. why did not
the majority repeal or modify the obnoxious sta
tutes, and thus prove the genuineness of their
newborn sympathy, Then if the President
had interposed veto, they could have made
strong bid for Fenian votes. As it is, we
doubt il their eleventh hour expressions of de-
votion.to the cause of suffering Ireland, seas
oned with the great favor Of allowing the f.
b. to occupy the fair building to glorify Con-
gress, will deceive many Irishmen, or induce
them TO vote for their radical friends at the fall

Jay Cooke & 90. furnish the following
THE CHRONICLE 'OoNyyCrrn

The Chronicle attempts in its issue of yester.
day Sunday to escape from the odium of
publishing erroneous statements connecting
Mayor Wallach with the interruption of the
Fenian meeting on Friday evening last, which
MEASUREMENTS were exposed by us on Satur.
day; but In doing so founders terribly, and
admits, what we had reason to believe that
its information was obtained. not from the
squad Of police with sergeant" (who best
knew under what authority they were acting,
and were therefore the proper persons to fur
nish Information on tn pointI nor from the
Fenian committee; but I'VE quote the CAronicle)
'.The managers of the Soldiers Union Concert,
whose office is in the building, are our authori.
". They, in common with others. were so in.
formed. The Fenian committee received this
explanation" (from the managers of the Sol
diers' Union Concert, of course.) 9r .a#ra-f
Now for the facts. As we have stated be-
fore, and as is well known to every one in this
city, except. perhaps, those who furnish in
formation for the Chronicle, the Metropolitan
policemen, at the meeting on Friday night (who
were the only policemen presently are not
under the direction Of Mayor Wallach at all,
and he has no control over them. In this case,
not only were the police present not "acting
under the authority or by request Of Mayor Wal
toch,' as stated by the Chronicle, which itall-
cizes the statement, but they never informed
= the managers OF the soldiers Union concert
or any other persons, that they were. So Ser
geant Eckloff, in charge Of the policemen pres
ent is willing to state under oath, thus not
only substantiating our assertions, but show.
ing that all reports connecting Mayor Wal
lachs name in any way with this interferen CO
with the Fenian meeting on Friday night las,
are wholly false. The public will draw their
own differences as to the motives which in
duced the circulation and pu blieation OF such
reports.
As for the meeting Of Saturday night, it was
the play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet
left OUT in other words. an Irish meeting with
out the lrishmen. We do not mean that there
were no 90 Irish republicans" ito use the chron
icle's expression) present, but that any consid-
cradle number of our Irish fellow citizens took
part in the proceedings we emphatically deny.
And Major Hsgeerty "le: the cat out of the
bag" when he said he heard remark in the
hall that there was NO Irish element in the
meeting now being held.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH

We congratulate our readers on that latest
triumph Of Anglo-Saxon pluck and persever-
ance, the successful laying of the Atlantic
cable. Not disheartened by their previous
unsuccessful attempts, its projectors have
after years OF scientific research and hercu-
lean labor conquered every obstacle, and ..the
Atlantic telegraph" Is now a fact. II will not
do however to be too jubilant over this great
mechanical and engineering success, until
time has solved the remaining problems, How
will 1t work and How long viii it last +,
Even IL the solution Of these vital questions
should be satisfactory. the usefulness of the
work will be much impaired by the enormous
charges for transmission of messages estab-
iished by the company. JED 30 .-rH.
II is AT any rate most happy and suspicious
coincidence that the first message signalled
from Europe should be practically the scrip.
ture one, "On earth peace. good will toward
men" We refer to the announcement that
peace bad been concluded between Prussia
and Austria after FIVE day s armistice.

The Assistant Commissioner of the Freed

cation for authority to place Stewart county.
Georgia, under martial law, on account of the
indisposiiion Of the Civil authorities to do Jus.
tice to the freedmen. The General says that
the citizens there have failed to appreciate or
recognize the conciliatory character Of the
Bureau, and although they have been re.
peatedly called on by the Assistant Com
missioner TO enforce the laws and secure Jus.
tice to all citizens for which purpose he has
them, they have not only failed to do their
duty but have even joined with the rioters in
numbering freedmen after they were arrested
and bound. Judge named Robert Walton,
actually killed, with his own hands, freed.
man who had been arrested and bound over
by the Sheriff OF the county on q warrant
issued by the Judge. Walton was allowed TO
escape UNPUBLISHED by the civil authorities.
The offence Of the negro was that he had de.
Tended himself against gang of robbers who
came upon the plantation where he was Irving
or the purpose of robbery.
