The report of E. W.Wjnkoop, Major United States Army, and Special Indian Agent, dated at Fort Lamed, Kaneat, March 5, 18(6, and in closing the treaty with the Arapahoe and Chey enne Indians, has been received at the Indian Barea. The treaty is dated on Bluff creek, Little Arkansas river, Kansas, Maich 1, 18CS, and bears the signs of twelve chief?. Among the number is the notorious George Bent "Ilo-mah-ha-kat." This chief has long been a terror to the frontier, and the fact of hit signing the treaty ii an assa ranee of the future peace and safety of the outer settlements.

Eepcrts and counter reports have been in cir culation within a few days concerning the Pre sident's interference in tbe municipal govern ment of New Orleans. The lacts are substan tially these: Mr. Kennedy, the present or old Mayor of the city, telegraphed to tho President on the 16th 4ntant, expressing or implying doubts as to the fitness or eligibility ot his suc cessor elect, Mr. Monroe, and inquiring whether or not he should yield the succession. The Pre sident replied as follows by telegraph: I havo no information to dive In retard to tnrrea dering tlie Alaioraltv of fiew Orleans to the person elected to (ill tlie position. 1 have no information suowinir tliat the election wna not rejrnlar, or that tbe Individual wbo has been elected cannot qualiff. Jn tlie abs nee ot such proof tho presimptioH it that the election has been according to law. aad that the fierson elected can take tbe oath ot alleimuct and oyaity required. Mr. Monroe teems te have known that efforts were being mada to keep him out of office, and also telegraphed the President yesterday that he had been regularly elected Mayor cf Now Or leans, and that ho is as "loyal to the Union and aa enthusiastically in lavor of tbe reconstruc tion policy of the Preiident as any other man liviDg, and can quality according to law." The President replied to this by repeating the tele gram sent to Mr. Kennedy, thus leaving the matter where it properly belongs, to the people of New Orleans and the civil and military laws that govern such cases. Slow Work In Texas. , Tlie President has received a despatch from Governor Hamilton, dated Austin, March 17, saying tlint the Convention of that State has been in session one month, but nothing has been matured; that the struggle 1s on the ordlnaneo . of secession, the question being shall the ordi nance be declared nail and void from the begin ning, or shall it be repealed. The Union men insist on the former, and the Rebels and others demand the, latter. Governor; Hamilton says something like the action of the Alabama Con Tent'on will be adopted; and there will be no trouble in rejecting the war debt incurred in carrying ou the Kebellion. The freedmsn will bo treated more satisfactorily than has been done ty most of the Southern States. CONGKESS. WisniNGTojt.
