CHICAGO, Ill, August 49, 1872.
special correspondent, writing from Cheyenne
and the Arapahoe Agency under date of August
0, gives an account OF the proceedings OF the So
called Peace Council being held there with the
KiOwas and other hostile Indians. SO far these
proceedings appear to be a failure, the Kiowas
being evidently disposed to make this pretence Of
friendship in order to the release OF their
chiefs, Santanta and Big Tree, who are now confined
in the Texas Penitentiary.
Lone Vol, the principal chief Of the KiOwss, made
speech N reply to Colonel Mcintosh, who had
Urged upon the Indians the absolute necessity, II
they desired to Tree their chiefs, OF living at peace
with the whites, saying that he was ready to do all
that was asked OF him, but he must first have the
soldiers removed and until this was done the
kiowas would make no change In their way Of v
ing. He concluded as follows I'll have listened to
what the council has told me and l believe
the talk Is straight, and the Peace Cap
tains who have talked to rye can, perhaps,
make things satisfactory in Washington. When

resented. John Heckle, who called the meeting
TO order, spoke in high terms of the labor reform
candidate for Governor. william p Schell and
hoped the workingmen throughout the State
would do their utmost in securing his election and
the entire ticket nominated. He severely de-
n0unced the candidate of the democratic party,
Charles Buskalew, whom he claimed was OF aristo-

antagonistic to the Eight-Hour law.
Resolutions endorsing Schel and denOuncing

WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION.
Probable Defeat of the New
Constitution.
THE RETURNS NOT ALL IN.
Jacob Said To Be Elected by from
1000 to 5000 Majority.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va. August o. 1872.
The returns come in very slowly, and only few
counties are yet officially reported. but enough is
known to hazard the assertion that the constitu-
ton is defeated by from two thousand to three
thousand majority. and Jacob elected Governor by
about the same vote. BY far the largest vote ever
cast in the State has been brought out, and the
result has completely surprised both parties.
In nearly every county heard from large MAORI
ties are given against the constitution and for
Jacob. and especially is this true In counties for
merly democratic, showing great division in that
party.
In this county last year there were 200 democratic
majority The majority for Jacob is 1876 and against
the constitution 1853; and the republicans have
elected all their county officers by about the
majority In Morgan. the adjoining county,
Jacobs majority Is pol and LA against the c0nsttu-
tion Jefferson county, the other adjoining county,
which gave last year 500 democratic majority, is
now reported as giving a small majority against
the constitution, and in nearly every county
within reach of Geographic communication does
the same state of affairs exist
Never was a local party organization ever tum-
bed from such height by their own mismanage-
ment as the democratic party of this state In this
election They are completely demoralized, and the
republicans may reap lasting benent from their
chaotic condition II they will.
The word ''white,r as qualification for office,
submitted for separate vote is almost unan-
mously voted down in this part OF the State.

as well In these private institutions In the public
asylums OF the State upon the order OF magistrates
OF the grade OF Justice Of the Peace issued upon the
certificate OF any two physicians.
This condition of the law, giving opportunity for
abuses, have more than once asked the Legisa-
ture to correct At the last session two bills passed
the Assembly furnishing better safeguards In con-
nection with the commitment and care OF lunatics.
One of these provided very properly that person.

except when licensed by the State Commissioners
OF Charities, and thus subjected to their
inspection. This bill failed to pass the Senate. 1t
was very publicly asserted and not denied that the
failure OF the bill in the Senate was due chiefly
to the personal EFFORTS at Albany OF the chief ply
stefan or the Bloomngdale Asylum.
