From the Salem Statesman we learn
that the Indian Convocation in that
city last Friday was attended by 100
Indians. "One of the Indian spea k
ers was Joe Hutchins, of Alsea, VIII o
told how he saw the first missionaries.
arrive. They were poor when they
first arrived, hadn't horses and came
in a canoe. He was glad to see them
and treated them well, gave them
something to eat, and felt sorry for
them. He went on to say that he
didn't understand how it was that
they all grew rich and he grew poor,
and he proposed to learn the way it
was done and begin at this late day
to practice the same things that made
the white man prosper. Joe Hutch
ins gave the audience to understand
that this site of Salem was his origi-
nal home. the property OF his tribe.
His recital of early incidents and his
impressions concerning civilized life
were interesting. There were sever
al other Indian speakers, but they
were hardly as eloquent as Hutchins.

Chicago was visited by furious
gale last night. 1t carried much
alarm to the citizens; especially to
those residing in the vicinity of the
late fire. Fire brands were blown
about in every direction. Skeleton
walls were prostrated in quick sue
cession, shaking buildings in the vi
cinity from foundation to apex
Much alarm prevailed, the people
rushing into the street from their
dwellings in many instances, fearful
that their houses would be prostrated
and they buried beneath their ruins.
No material damage was sustained.
Later accounts from Northern
Wisconsin confirm previous reports.
The loss of life in the neighborhood
of the village Of Peshtego, will reach
over 1900. The fire was heard at a
distance like the roaring OF the sea-
Balls of fire were soon observed to
fall like meteors in different parts of
the town, igniting whatever they
touched People rushed with their
children in arms for place of safety,
but the storm Of fire was upon them
and enveloped them in flames, smoke
and cinders, and those that were not
able to reach the river were suffocat-

Congressional Apportionment.

One oil the duties that Will devolve
upon the next State Legislature IS
that of re-apport,oning the State into
Congressional Districts. The num-
Der Of Members OF Congress to
which Iowa will be entitled under
the new census has no: been def
nitely fixed, but all indications point
to nine as the number. The popula-
ton OF the State being l,191 500, the
population of District will be 1872
ID. We shall ask the Legislature
to adopt our apportionment, as below,
which, though not perfect, is very
nearly the right thing. OF cours. it
has been impossible to bring each
District to the exact figures required,
but contiguous counties have been
taken that will come the nearest to the
figures. As the north western part
of the State will probably grow more
during the next ten years, the 9th
District has been allowed less
population than any of the
others. Those not liking the plan,
can send their objections IN detail at
once.

Accordingly, the young gentlemen q
assembled early one day last tall,
in the dissecting room, and, when
the ladies appeared, met them with
hootinc and h,ssng, and shower of

remained and bore it all, but soon
after one Of them, in public speech,
referred to the conduct of the ras-
Gals in rather pointed manner, and
spoke OF the leader III the matter as
excusablc on the ground Of intoxica-
ton. The young blood took serious
offence AMI sued Miss Blake for slam

He had won a sudden fame, and that,

SO Overwhelmingly burdened with

he has yet good portion of his term

The New York papers have been
making it rather warm Tor 20 Hoff-
man, by showing that he lied i'll his
proclamation and was actuly respon-
sible for the riot of July 18th. The
Governor issued his proclamation
with the announcement that he heard
of the condition of affairs only on
Tuesday. The papers prove that he
was in the city on Monday and was
cognizant of the intended issue of the
order Of the Chief Of Police terbidding
the procession. The Governor was
perfectly willing to allow the issue of
the order as a sop to the Catholic
Irish of New York, and it was only
the general demand Of the respectable
portion Of the city and country that
compelled him to revoke the order.
AS the Democratic Press through
out the country either boldly sus-
tain the city government in its pro-
fame attempt to interfere with the Or.
angc procession, or excuse the Cath
Ole rioters and extenuatc their
crimes, il IS both reasonable and
proper that the Democratic party be
held responsible for the riot AMI its
| consequences.
