A Notable example of tho orippling
effect produced upon some Of our most
valucd Industries by the present tariffs
may be seen in the sale lately made Of the
ship Great Republic, which has been lying
at the New York city wharves for several
years unused, hor vast tonnsgo making
her useful only for special purposes.
Sho wss sold for an absurdly small sum,
because the necessary repairs upon her
will amount to four times the amount Of
the purchase money, on account Of her
long idleness. But these many thou
sands of dollars worth of ship yard work
to be done upon her can not be done in
any American { U. s. } yard. It costs too
much. The vessel bas been sent to St.
Johns IN. b. where our British colo.
nial friends will undertake the job u at lit.
tie more than half the cost, aud make
money on it at that.

Pennsylvania LEGISLATURE.

The late election in Pennsylvania ro
suited not only in the loss Of the Supreme
Judge, by the Radicals, but in heavy
Radical losses in the Legislature: Tha
Radicals in the last Legislature had 21
Senators, and the Democrats, 12. Now
there are 10 Radicals and IA Democrats.
The Radical majority last year was nine
now it is five. In the House the change
Is noticeable. Last year the Radicals
had 62, and the Democrats 49,. Radical
majority 25. Now the Radicals have 81,
and tho Democrats 46. Radical majority
eight; showing y loss Of lC members on
the Radical majority in the House.

A Junction City special 1, the Repub.
lican, Of The 8lst ultimc, gives the fol-
lowing ss the result Of the Peace Com
missionsrs sent out by the Government
to treat with the Indians, who for some
time have shown disposition to fight !:
The Peace Commission reached Fort
Harkes this morning in thirty.six hours
from Medicine Lodge Creek, one hundred
and fifty miles, on the train for st. Louis.
They will leave there on Sunday after
noon for Laramie via Chicago.
On Sunday, the 9Th, the Cheyenne
warriors, mounted on ponies, aud mum
6ering Eve hundred, camc into camp.
Their approach was announced by a song
Of triumph, loud yells, and a discharge
Of rcvolvers. They advanced iu Eve
grand divisions, making a splendid dis
play, and, spiashing across the creek, dc.
plcyed 10 line Of battle. Thoy were thus
met by the Commissioners. Their up.
proach created a panic among tho other
tribes. The women and children fed,
aud the stock was driven in. The Ara.
pahoes and Camanches flew to arms and
took position to defend their camp. The
excitement was intense. Our soldiers
remained 10 their tents, armed for an ut.
tact. b.. .......... e.
On monday q joint treaty was ma le
with the Choyennes aud Arapahoes.
They are giving reservation in the In
dian Territory, dropping Of all lands in
Kansas. Their Southern bounlaryDcx.
tended from Red crock down to ked fork
Of the Arkansas. The reservation con-
tains 5000 square miles. The agency
and other buildings arc to be erected.
II is stipulated that each Indian is to re
ceive annually WOODEN suit. The tribes
are to have In addition annually an aunu.
ity Of $4,000. The two tribes are al
lowed 10 range at will and hunt to the
South Platte. They withdraw all oppo.
sition 10 the roads and agree to keep tie
peace. A denial Of the right to huut
betwcen Smoky Hill and Platte would
have been 10 continue the war.
Buffalo, chief Of the Cheyennes, said
he did not want houses. When he wautej
assistance he would let US know.
Little Raven, Of the Arapahocs, wanted
to 90 on the Colorado Reservation. lie
said he was going south this winter, to
buy stock, and would return north next
summer to hunt.
Bull Bear, Little Robe, White Horse

The Kansas people are not suited with
the treaty. They think it a hollow truce.
1t was the best to be had however.

The Great Pedestrian Feat.

The telegraph announced that Weston
started, on Tuesday last, to perform the
great feat Of walking to Chicago from
Portland, Maine, in 80 days, of which 90
only are to DO walking days. He stops
Sundays. Lie left Portland on Tuesday,
at noon precisely, amidst enthusiastic
cheers from vast crowds. lie struck out
at an easy 6ve.m mile gait, q large crowd
following him out of the city. lie is
represented as 1.-the, good looking man,
25 years old, Weighing 125 pounds. II
is part of his wager that ho shall walk
1oO miles in "a hours during his walk to
Chicago. The following shows the details
Of the match: ;..
Edward Payson Weston, tho young pc.
destrian, who created somewhat Of q sen.
sation in 1861, by walking from Boston
to Washington against time, averaging
81 miles tor ten consecutive days, has
been pitted against his old antagonist to
walk from Portland, Maine, to Chicago,
illinois, distance Of 1900 miles,, in 2G
walking days, for the sun, Of $1,000 aside.
Geo. X. Goodwin backs tho pedestrian,
L. +. Wilcox risking his money on Wcs-
toms failure. The articles Of agreemcn mt
provide that Weston is to perform his ar.
duous labor in 30 days, without walking
between midnight on Saturday and mid.
night on Sunday he is to follow the post
roadi is to walk 100 consecutive miles III.
side Of 24 consecutive hours as part of
the feat, Weston being privileged to make
tive trials, on such days as he may select
provided he fails in his first attempt; he
will DO accompanied by two sworn wit.
nesses for each side, who are to follow
him in wagon, ard are each to make
statement under oath az to his progress,
and the stakes, $4,000, less 81, 200 al
ready up ts forfcit) aro to be handed to
the winner at Chicago as soon as the re.
suit is uscertaiued. The start from Port.
land will he mado between the 1st and
18th Of October.
Should Weston fail, on each trial, to
make 100 consecutive miles in "a hours,
his backeg forfeits six .tenths Of the stake,
whether the whole distance be accom-
plishcd in the given time or not.
On this trip Weston will pass through
parts of ten different States, and more
than 800 cities and towns.

No, OF Elcctor,

This is majority of twenty in the elec.
toral college, counting in all the bogus
votes that may be obtained ut tho South
by military violence and usurpation.
Tho chances, however, are that wc will
carry other States not included in the
above estimate, for the people are resolved
to have change Of Administration in
this country.
With q Democratic President and q
Democratic House of keprescntivc to sus.
tain him, which will be elected at the
same time, it will not take long to undo
some of the atrocious legislation of ::the
Rump Congress. The military will not
be used to control elections in the South
They will be either drawn from there, or
bc only used for the purpose Of preserving
order. When this military pressure is
removed, that now bears SO hard upo., the
South, they will soon have instead rep.
resentation based upon white suffrage
alone. We bog leave to assure the lem.
ocrat that there will be no negro voting
for any length Of time in any Southren
Middle or Western State. The people
will not permit it. There is not State,
out side Of New England, with the excep.
ton, perhaps, Of Kansas or Iowa, that Is
not against it. 1t has only been foisted
upon the people by tho acts Of small
minority. The Radicals may 60 on and
complete their rascally schemes to per.
petuate their power, which they call
Southern reconstruction but it will not
stand. 1t ia miserable aud rickcty po-
litical structure, and will soon topple down
by its own weight. The distinctions
founded upon color and race, made by
the Almighty for some great and wise
purpose, and which have been recognized
jn all nations and in all ages, can not be
broken down by few madncn and party
demagogues in a few years. The condi-
ton iu which the Radicals have plunged
the South is an abnormal and unnatural
and monstrous one, aud must and will,
ere long, be changed.
The election Of Democratic President
and House Of Representatives, which we
are bound to have next year, would rem.
der nugatory all the nice little arrange.
ments to obtain permanent political power
which now are so captivating to the imag.
ination. Of our Radical contemporary in St,
Louis. Its hopes of llissful negro .po.
litical Eden ia the South will prove to 10
as evauescent as the idea 0 f the milk maid
in the fable, who lost the fluid very sud-
denly upon which she had based lofty
anticipations.

of $4,000 in the city is predicted, and
the Democrats are confident Of carrying

clares Ills Intentions.
Washington Tclesraphic Correspondence Of ths
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tho determination Of the President to
change his cabinet has been repeatedly
alluded to in this correspondence. There
is authority TO report the same, with full
permission Of the President.
II was suggested to him this afternoon
that the great popular verdict indorsing
his polity would prevent further agitation
Of impeachment. The President replied
that he thought not, but apprchended
that the Radical leaders would become
even more desperate, and hesitate at
nothing to accomplish their revolution
ary purpose. y
Iu response to the question Of his
course, should Radicals attempt to do.
pose him before trial, he said he would
resist with all the powers which the Con.
stitution furnishes for its ovn protection
aud preservation. This was said with
great warmth and csrnestness. It would
bc criminal, he said. not to resist an
effort on the part Of Congress to usurp
or destroy tho Executive Department,
an1 he thought it we'll for the country to
know his opinion and purpose in relation
to Cabinet changes. lie said he would
strengthen himself for any emergency
that might arise. Circumsta nccs, he said,
nccsssitated change, and this should BE-
done before Congress met. ....
In the selection of his csbinst the
President declared he would not consult
or be governed by party cliques, but act
on his own judgment, and for what lie
thought was tho best interest Of the
country. 1t was his intention to draw
around him men Of nerve, ability and
patriotism.
lu answer to an inquiry about General
Sherman, he said: Il can assure you
that Geueral Sherman will be here Se.
tween the 10th aud 18th Of November,
and ia ample time for the discharge Of
any duty, however responsible, which may
devolyc on him."

think about IL, must acknowledge tho
fact, that the recent elections in f1vor oi
