: 4 SOLUTION Of our "Iudian difficult
ties" is likely to be reached after the
holidays. A Washington correspondent
on the 22i inst, writes that 9 the Indian
Peace Commissioners who were to have
assembled there this week, will not meet
until early 10 January. Gan. SHERMAN
writes that it will be impossible for him
to go to Washington before the 5.h Of
January. The other members Of the
Commission als0 write in q similar tone.
The present condition OF Indian aff4ire,
and how an Indian war eau be avoided,

THE probability is, that there will be
az extra session Of Congress the coming
year. The fact that Gen. GIANT favors
ito Ghe correspondents say-wiI so a
considerable way in bringing about that
result. Another reason is said to be the
Immense amount OF business which hiss
accumulated by reason of the time lost
Ia the trial OF the President, and in the
pursuit OF other political objec.s. The
House Military Committee alone, g
Washington dispatch informs us has
over nine hundred bills and resolutions
for It's consideration, and the work before
other committees is &C great tnat it viii
be utterly impossible to get through it
during the winter. In fact, 10 the regu.
lar course Of business SONS o. the bills
before the committees in the House will
not even bo reached between now and
the expiration OF this Congress, and there
are many important cases psnding which
are not reckoned in this enumeration.

payment of the Interest due on the State
debt the first cay Of next month. He
\ informs Us that the Interest to be paid
amounts to about ss00.Q90. The railroads
will have paid, 5y hs6rst Of January,
to the credit Of the State at New York
city, ia e5sh and coupons, the amount
OF $3.50, 900. About two-thirds OF this
amount has already been paid, and is ST
the disposal OF ths Comptroller.
There is on deposit in New York, in

cum has been lying there for some time

National Bank, Of New York. the sum
of 800, Coo with which to pay Off the Jnly
Interest, the ans to be paid by the first

aud by the thirtieth OF the same month
he hsd paid the whole amount Of $780,
010. This Yves done, too, without any Sc
rious drain upon the Treasury, for, dur
ing tne whole time, and 10 % The present
moment, there vas not any hour Ia
which the Treasury was without sufi-
Client funds to pay the running expenses
Of the State and all other bills which
were presented. In fact, the State ex-
chequer hes not ct any time during thst
periud been empty.
The July interest has been paid long

The defeat Of ths "Omnibus Bilp has
given confidence IN the ability Of the
Ststs tOspay sill OF its Indebtedness, and
mas rendered the prompt payment Of the
interest which may hereafter accrue on
her bonds comparatively certain. With
as thoroughly honest and prudent q mar
