WARRINGTON, Sept. 20, 1877.
The Sioux chiefs, who have had three
pow-wows with Father Hayes, are
rather disgruntled at their want OF sue
cess. They did not like the tirmness
and decision with which the President
informed them they must go to the Mis-.
souri, River reservation. The only thing
that will make the dose go down at all is
the fact that the President promised
them they need not remain there longer
than this winter unless they wished to.
II, when spring comes, they are dissatis-
fed still, they can select reservation
to suit themselves. Lis hoped the Sioux
will 60 willingly; otherwise they can
make a world Of trouble.
THE ELECTION PROSPECTS.
1t is now thought as election day
approaches, that most oil the Ohio clerks
Will accept the reduced rates on the
Pennsylvania Central, good for the
month oil October, and 10 home to vote.
| II IS thought that Hon. John Sherman's
recently published letter in the OHIO
State Journal, expressing earnest SYM
pathy aud strong hopes Of Wesps cleo
|tlon, has had something to do with pro-
lGucing this change OF intention on the
parts Of OHIO clerks in Washington.
ON TO REsUMPIoNl
The Treasury officials say that ar
Irangements are being made TO organize
great many new National Banks as
soon as there shall be anything like a
healthy revival OF business, and that
the old banks will deposit new bonds
for an increase OF their circulation.
This Will OF course enable the Govern
ment to retire Greenbacks without con-
Itracling the currency, and 80 help Oh
Resumption by reaching the limit fixed
by the Resumption Act, viz: $500, ,0OO, ,OOo.
FlRE-PRooF BUILDINGS.
The Committee appointed to examine
the. Public Buildings and report upon
their capacity to resist fire, viz: Messrs.
Hill, Supervising Architect; MIR. CLARK
and Sup ,rintendent Casey, are hard at
work. The probability is that every
public building, except the new State
lDepar Ment, wi | need overhauling and
lrepairs to make it safe.
THE ARMY.

comprehensive plan for the increase Of
the army aud the promotion OF its eff

PARTY sPECULATIoNs.
The Republicans here have taken frest
hopes OF carrying Onio, owing to tn,
4 claim that the Republicans have NOR,
: lgenerally registered than tho Democrats
That may be true, but you can not very
, well tell now all Republicans are gOinY
to vote this fall. A good many OF then
have registered Tor the purpose o
Scratchinq and smashing rings, we guess
There Is talk, tOV, thaL serious disaffac
ton exists towards Bishop among the
Irish voters In your city, on account oI
I Know-Nothing charges against him, and
that the Irish Vinlicator has come out
tor West. 1t is evident the eyes of the
Admlnistrationists are firmly fixed on
. the Buckeye election. To Offset the
good outlook In Southern ONO, j. g.
Thompson. says the Western Reserve
: Republicans are not going to poll within
twenty thousand OF their usu4i vote this

true. then verify West is booked for Salt
River. We shall see when the votes are
counted.
HELP NOT NEEDED.
Late adVices from Senator COnoyer, o.
Florida, represent him as laying the
ropes for his reelection by the present
Democratic Legislature, he pledging as a
} basis for the trade that he will desert
The Republicans this winter and aci

and Wallace say they do not want the

and will not consider any applications
He is also sorely beset by la6orers who
want to help clear away the debris. A
lot OF heavy canvas tarpaulins are be-
Iing stretched over the burnt portion ol
the Patent Office to protect the lowe,
stories from dagger by rain. The bids
have been opened for the temporary
roof, aud the decision will be made OH
Monday. They ranged from $3,0W tC
