The Worcester Spy (Grant republican) has the following reference to the Vice Presidency, a can- didate for which is to be nominated by the Con- vention at Philadelphia :— In regard to the second officé, the Convention aaa whole is left to its own gutdance, although most of the delegations are instructed in favor of one or another candidate. The two who will at first receive most votes are, of course, Mr. Colfax and Senator Wilson. The former will probably lead on the first ballot. If he had not sometime ago atedly declared his purpose to retire from lic life at the e. of his present term of office he Foula no doubt, be renominated without serious opposition. The prospect now is that of those who are instructed to vote at first for candidates from their own States enough will chi hole, to their votes to pa Wilson, as their Lepelig choice, ve him @ rt nearly as large as ‘olfax, or pe ps, and not pest to enone ‘The Utica Herala (republican) has the annexed comments upon the nomination of the Vice Presi- dent by the Fepublicans at Philadelphia to-day :— There is some doubt as to who will fill the second Nace on the ticket, At it was beli¢ved that: ir. Colfax would be the man.

It 1s not probably emus such & movement certainly can have no strength. The Providence Journal of the 4th inst. says of our exploded treaty with Great Britain :— There is a bitter feeling in many quarters over the failure of the treaty, which is charged upon the disingenuousness of England. It is said that the delays and objections on her part cover a design to avoid engagements into which she deliberately en- tered, and which she found inconvenient to fulfil; that, at the best, the great principle of arbitration and the settlement of long standing and irritating differences between the two countries have been ees to the political necessities of the The Providence Herald (a paper that has some democratic standing in its own meridian) says of Greeley :— Will Greeley stand—stand beyond all peradven- ture and despite all discouragements? We con- bo that we do not like to give even a conditional rt to a contingent candidate. We don’t care Pinvolve ourselves in commendations of one Shoes we may a month hence descry leading the enemy's battalions. We are willing to compromise ourselves to the extent of our conscience whenever we know that the Cincinnati nominee is in the field and determined-to stay there; but we strenu- ously object to being the advocates, howéver feeble, of a possible party. Greeley is under no obligations to us ag yet, but he desired tobe. Any success of the reformers involved the support of the democ- racy. Did they Co gee the democracy were to give in an allegiance to a party of liberals whose prin- ciples and faith had no firmer maintenance than the possibility of an alliance ? The Boston Post—democratic, and a paper of carefal judgment—remarks about Sumner’s late speech, that what Sumner has developed ip ths matchless plece of inculpatory eloquéhce ts pfé- cisely what F. W. Bird brought out with equal boldness in his remarkable speech at Walpole. He there-asserted that he did not believe in Grant either as soldier or civilian, and never had; and Sumner has supported his impressive declaration with the utmost elaboration of evidence and illus- tration. The popular mind receives this speech as ie of the most serious affairs in our political history. If it cannot be beg it will be but offerin, insult to the country to renominate to the eal: dency one who thus stands at the bar of a ic judgment Lge eng convicted. It is under- everywhere that this administration is the image. of ‘corruption and incompetency, the synonym of gift-taking and the usurpat! ion of powers and it does not unsettle that common bellef (0 heap obloquy on Mr. Sumner or renominate the President he arraigns, In regard to the Reading, Pa., (democratic) State Convention, the Springfeld (Mass.)

THE WARRIORS AFTER THE ELEPHANT. The Beautiful Squaws, Mrs. Big Foot and Mrs, Ear-of-Corn, to Go Shopping To-Day. Last evening about the hour of dusk, the dwell- ers.on the Jersey City side of the Hudson River saw a strange sight for the first time in their lives. ‘The half past-eight A. M. Washington train had just arrived from the federal capital, and out of it stepped a party of thirty persons, 28 adult males and two females. Of this party two were half-bred interpreters of the Ogalalla Sioux, two were aquaws Of that tribe, and there were twenty-five chiefs, braves and members of that flerce tribe of the Plains, under the command of the great chief “Red Croud” and his associate scalper, “Red Dog.” Dr. Daniels, the agent of the Sioux, tribe, accompanied them on their trip from Washington to this city, and will have charge of them while they are cast of the Misaouri River, previous to their return home to the happy hunting grounds of their fathers, On arriving on this side of the river they were taken to the Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway, where guites of rooms had been prepared for their reception. Their appearance at the hotel caused the greatest excitement, particularly among the lady guests of the house, as the Ogalallas were at- tired in the same fashion as they appear on the Plains when about to rob a stage or scalp a select batch of emigrants, with the exception that they did not have their war paint on and were not armed. They look like the usual pictures that are to be found of the noble savage, being clad in leg- fluge moccasins trimmed with bead work, and had blankets covering their brawny shoulders. “Red Cloud” had red breeches and a huge red scarf around his throat. Six of the braves had large German silver CrOaNeR, WEN Saes from their necks and exending & foot in length down their tawny chests. “Red Dog,” the second chief, is a gentle youth of about forty-five summers, welghing q tous one hundred and ninety-five ponncs, and has appearance of having kept (at some period of ie life)'a German lager beer saloon and restaurant near Essex Market.
