CHICAGO, Oct Ohio is generally
conceded by Democrats here to the Re-
publicans. A Washington special says
that the Republican State Committees
estimate on these three States are. Penn
sylvania, Is, 900, Ohio, %, 900, and Indi-
ana, 10000. All advices from the latter

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The State De-
partment has advices from the North
west Boundary Commission, which state
that but little progress has been made
in locating the forty-ninth parallel. The
expedition will soon return to the Uni
ted States for winter quarters. The fill
ing of the vacancy caused by the death
Of DIR. Lieber, who was umpire in the
Mexican Claims, will probably lead to
trouble. Our Government, it is said,
would be unwilling to accept anyone
named by the Mexicar.ss, as all questions
referred -~ould be by lot. The Indian
cases amounting to 80 millions, might
fall to the Mexican umpire, and the in
terest OF its country, it is contended,
would necessarily bias his Judgment 1t
is also said that Mexico cannot consis-
tently ask any of the European nations
to name our umpire.
