Indian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, October 2O.-The Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs hos returned from
Fort Sill. he says the delight OF the hiowas
on, the restoration offheir chiefs, Santanta
and Biz Tree, was expressed in extragagant
actions, including the hugging OF the Co
vernon, whom they pow look upon as among
their best friends. They promise to comply
rigidly with the terms Of the release.
The chiefs of the Comanches demurred
to the demand of the Commissioner that five
of their tribe, who had been Taiding in
Texas, be given up, saying that the arrest Of
these men would occasion serious II not
armed resistance OIL the part Of the tribe.
The Commissioner reminded them of their
treaty obligations, and warned them that nc
would give them thirty days TO consider the
matter; and that if they still refused, he
would withhold from them all rations and
other supplies.
Upon this the chiefs said they would de-
liver five others of their tribe who were now
ridinp in Texas. To this the Commissioner
made no objection, and the chiefs furnished
scouts to accompany detachment of troop;
in pursuit of the raiders.
The object Of the present visit OF the
Crow and Ute Indians to Washington is tt
talk over their affairs.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph hits the re-
sumptionsts in the following amusing YET
telling style:
ave all recollect the case of the Bos.
tonian who lett all his relatives a million
apiece out of q bankrupt estate. 1t cost no.
thing, he said, and was generous. So, when
we resolve to resume specie payments with
little or no specie in hand, and so small a
supply of paper that we have refused to part
with it to creditors, it is equally cheap and
generous to talk about specie-resumption.
The logic OF the specic.resumptionists does
not stop short ut the point of righteousness
it is grotesQue. But that fact does not make
them any the less solemn and argumentatiye.
at Is true that with seven hundred mil
lions in paper currency the business OF the
country is we'll nigh at deadlock for want
of money. 1t is true they admit such q de-
gree Of popular dstrust and suspicion that
Ihe people prefer to hoard paper bills (beipg
snable to obtain anything better for hoard
ng) to adrenturing their earnings on the
hazards of legitimate trade in these times.
The people, they admit, are all wild with the
rage for hoardlng, aud yet they are sure that
with two to three hundred millions in
specie they could float the existing or a
greater volume of paper. The people would
not convert their paper boards into golden
boards, they are quite sure; and resumption
of specie payments by the banks would
therefore DC quite safe, and, 10 fact, restore
confidence, although the banks are refusing
TO resume paper payments because their
creditors will hoard the paper. On the
Whole, the specle-resumption logic must be
admitted to be as marvellous as any other
development of the late panic"

The United States and Mexican Claims
Commission.

. WASHINGTON, October 20.--It was an
nounced several days since that the com
missioners in the above commission had Sc
lected Sir Edward Thornton for the of
flee of umpire, and that he had accepted
the charge conditioned upon his oh.
tanning the assent of his Government.
This having been accorded, his accept
auce is now made final, and he has
signed the required declaration of office.
In making the tender of the office the
commissioners take occasion to assure Sir
Edward Thornton that while they consider
that any gentleman might be proud of the
endorsement of the Government, in whose
service he has spent so many years of his life,
their confidence is particularly directed to
him by their high appreciation of his per-
sonal worth and intelligence. They urge
his acceptance of the trust as tending to con-
vince the people and Governments of the
United States and Mexico Of the sincere de-
sire and purpose of the commissioners to
effect just and honorable arbitrament of
the questions referred to the commission.
Sir Edward Thornton, in accepting, ac-
knowledgeS the compliment of the nomina.
ton and pledges himself to conscientious
discharge of the duties devolving upon him.
There is but one feeling, that Of entire
satisfaction as to this choice, which is re.
gardcd as peculiarly happy.
