= The news. both from the Plains and
from Washington, inspires the hope
that peace viii be made with the Indi-
ans, at least with all the Southern tribes
and that an expensive wal will be ayoi.
ded The only considerable tribe that
bad not come in 70 the Commission at
Medicine Lodge Greek was that Of the
Cheyennes, but il was confidently ex-
pocted the chiefs OF that tribe would
soon arrive and make peace. The gra-
tuities and annuties TO the Indians will
be by far the least cost, besides much
bloodshed will be avoided. Then the
United Seates government is the prop
er guardian of these aborigines and
owes them something. But, peace be-
ing made, the great thing ts TO main
tain il. In order TO do this the govern
ment should take care thpt rascally In
dian agents and Indian traders, who
have heretofore been the cause Of most
OF the trouble with the Indiana, should
not rob and excite these people TO hos
tilities.

Some Of the white yirpipians ar

Some of the white Virginians are
manifesting their evaporation, under
defeat by nego votes by disnissing them
from their employ. The owners Of the
Wythe iron works at Lynchburg, have
discharged $50 black men, for voting
the radical ticket. Some have been dis
missed At Richmond, but this example
is not likely to be generally followed,
for the employers need the services Of
the negroes q much as the latter need
the opportunity to work. A radical
meeting at Richmond has chosen q com
mittee to go North and beg money TO
support the discharged negroes.

How THEY Do THIsss IN CALIFORNIA
John Paul, mn old Californian, thus
moralizes. about the recent election in
that State:
California is nothing il not extreme,
She never does anything by halves
The Eureka" Of the State arms should
be construed to read, whole hog or
nothing" She grows the biggest trees
and the smallest woodpeckers, the
greatest oxen and the smallest oysters,
the loudest women and the littlest ba-
bies of any country on earth. When
the weather sets in TO be dry. not so
much as . drop OF dew falls for six
months: when it takes = fancy to rain,
it rains half the year through without
a break. Fires are not oi frequent oc-
currence, but when they come they
burn up q whole town. They either
have no law at all and miscreants go
UNPUBLISHED, or the inhabitants turn out
en- masse and hang everybody. Crops
are either so large as to astonish the
world, or fail entirely. Mines either
pay immensely or smash their owners
in a corresponding degree. When the
hat is passed around in church-they
do have churches there-the chances
arc oven whether the crown be steven
in by twenty-dollar gold peices, OF goes
back empty. Travelling is generally
safe, but when they blow up a steam
boat it mean omething-nothing more
is heard of boat or passengers. Small
swindlers are unknown. When q
man goes in to steal, he puts his claws
on u whole township, and will not COM
promise on anything less than a church
So in domestic matters, Husbands
and wives are either on the most affeo-
Tomato and intimate terms, or elee
sleep in separate beds. Women are
either barren altogether, or else throw
triplets without q moments warning.
In short, it is the darndest country--if
| may be pardoned the use OF a CLASH
cal New England phase--thst ever the
sun shone on. Everything exists in
extremes, and these extr emes never
meet.

CAgrArN RoBERr LMcoLN.--A Chicago
dispatch explains that Capt Robert t.
Lincoln, son Of the late President, was
IN point Of fact, called 10 the bar over
a year ago, in place Of "a few days since,
as reported. He is now master of a
handsome practice. He was, about two
weeks since admitted to prctice in The
Supreme Court Of the United States, a
position rarely reached by n SO Young
lie being scarcely twenty-five. In this
connection it may not be improper to
say, in order TO correct many impress
sions in regard to Captain Lincoln,
that he il one Of the most promising
young men in the West. Ho is an intel
ligent, industrious, quiet, ~unassuming,
courteous gentleman, and enjoys in an
eminent degree the personal esteem OF
the people of Chicago. Resembling his
honored father in the modesty Of his
demeanor, the simplicity OF his charac-
ter, the generosity Of his heart, and
strict integrity of his principles, 1t is
impossible not to respect and honor
him. The conduct Of his mother in as
deep a mystery to him az to all her
friends, and the only theory he a sng
gest in her defence is that she is insane.
