Tho Hack Hills.

Unless our government authorities in the
Northwest are more than usually vigilant we
shall have q scandal that will bring in its
train evil consequences Last summer there
came back certain reports from the Black
Hills country that gold mines of great value
were embraced within its borders. This
country was guaranteed to the Sioux Indians
by a formal treaty upon the part of the United
States. We have never been celebrated for
keeping our treaties with the Indians. Con-
sequently as soon as the presence of gold was
whispered there was o rush of that impatient
element of the community who believe that
fortune can be won by wandering over the
world in search of it, to enter upon these
lands, dispossess the Indians and tear open the
soil for its hidden treasures
General Sheridan, who commands the
department, has been strenuous in his efforts
to prevent any invasion of the Sioux rcserva-
ton. From what we learn, however, bodies
of miners and Adventures are gathering at
different points on our frontier, prepared to
push into this country and conquer their way
in spite of our troops and of the admonition of
the government The result, we fear, will be
this: A body of adventurous miners will PEN
citrate into the Black Hills in spite of our
military posts The Indians, thus menaced,
will attack and slay them. There will be a
contest ending in murder. Then the whole
Northwest will be afame with revenge We
shall have ''war feeling on the frontier
which it will be difficult for the government
to control or resist Nothing but the frmest
policy on the part of the President can arrest
these contingencies. He has promised, wisely,
that the efforts of the government will be to
extnguish the Indians title to the Black
Hills country. This is unavoidable. 1t is
contrary to reason and common sense that the
Black Hills, if they are what those who have
seen them declare, should be abandoned to
tribes of wild, wandering Sioux. No one for
4 moment supposes that it is the policy OF
this government to permit any part of its ter
ritory to be locked up permanently under the
control of thieying Indian agents and poor,
untutored savages. But let Us 90 about this
work in the right way. Let rs extinguish the
title of the Sioux to the reservation by honor
able means. Let US recognize our treaty obi
cations, and in opening the country to immi-
grafton and population let VS. not darken its
young lie by deeds of atrocity and perfdy.
The Black Hills country, rich az it is,
would not be worth the occupation if the
price we are to pay is dishonor and shame.

an attempt to dispute his honestly earned
honors. Another famous military writer-a
man also whose knowledge Of the war is very
greats Charles A. Dana, formerly Assistant
Secretary OF War to Mr. Stanton and tho
author OF q Life Of Grant. Mr.. Dana was for
some time member of General Grants mill
tary family and saw "with his own eyes, and
often quito intimately. great deal that is
important in history" Mr.. Dana, on page
l6O of the life, says, speaking of Grant
at was about this time thai the idea of sew
ering the rebel territory again by conducting
campaign from Chattanooga. to the sea-
coast first presented itself to his (Grants)
mind" And again, p. 4:-'srhe Atlanta
campaign and the march to the sea" and
''Shermans grand holiday excursion and
picnic party through the Carolinas, again
severing the Southern territory isolating and
scattering its armies, breaking its communi-
cations and eating out the vitals of the Con-
federacy bear ample testimony not only to
The grandeur of Grants conceptions but to
the heroic and unsuitable resolution with
which he carried them into effect Here,
therefore, are two writer's, one Of them
General Grants own secretary aud biog-
rapher, and the other Assistant Secretary of
War, who say in so many terms that General
Grant did plan the march to the sea- and
leave us to infer that Sherman merely carried
out the orders of superior and more fertile
intellect
Ii there is any needless mischief" arising
out of the effort of General Sherman to vindi-
cate his military fame it does not rest with
the critics who have commented upon
the work, but fsstly upon the historians of
the war like General Badesu and Mr.. Dana,
who have told this story as a compliment TO
Grant; and secondly, on General Sherman
himself, who defends his own reputation in
his own way.

wifi pass and receive the Governor sigma
ture. But until it comes into his hands free
from gripping amendments he would be in
excusable for not guarding the other bill.
which is a sure thing and is worth putting in
force in default Of something more efficient II
any Of the powers it confers are doubtful they
can be made explicit by tho next Legislature,
and we should 500 in this what we have seen
in 50 many other cases of public works begun
on insufficient legislation. The Brooklyn
bridge for example, if it had not been COM
menced, could not have got charter from
this Legislature; but it was not difficult to
procure additional legislation for work in
progress. Every kind Of public work which
ia once begun under legislative authority sue
ceeds in getting proper laws passed for its
completion. Even the new Capitol will at
last be finished, although the cost will swell
to four times the original estimate. In every
public work it is a great point gained when
the first steps are taken. If we can get moth
ing better than the Moore bill tho Governor
will be taithless to the interests Of the
city if he does not sign it. II
the Mayor appoints good commissioners,
if their location of the road and plans of con-
struction meet the public approval, if they
get the consent of the requisite half Of the
property owners along the route or failing in
that procure the proper decree of the Supreme
Court the summer and autumn will not have
been unprofltably spent, and subsequent
Legislation for remedying the defects OF the
law will easily DO obtained by proper effort.
1t would, indeed, be a great deal better to
start with o law which needed no future
tinkering. but it would be the height of folly to
fling away the advantage of making an i'm
mediate beginning and putting the enterprise
in such o shape as would insure q certainty of
its further prosecution.
We prefer the Hustled bill to the Moore bill,
but until the bird in the bush is caught the
Governor must not let go the bird in the
hand. We cannot believe that he has any
such intention, and sincerely hope the new bill
may pass. When both are before him we
suppose he viii be willing to listen to argu-
ment and will sign the one which. he thinks
most conducive to the public interest

The intense affection which European no
tons frequently show for their monarchs
seems to contradict the theory that they Ore
dissatisfied with monarchy. Thus we learn
that the Emperor Francis Joseph, who has
been making a triumphal tour of his domin-
ions, was recently enthusiastically received
by the populace of Vienna. But tho contra
diction is superficial In the case Of
the Emperor Francis Joseph much Of
his popularity is the result of the conces-
sions he has made to democracy and to Hun
garian rights. The less that the King is King
the more is he beloved by his subjects. There
is another fact which must not be overlooked.
In periods of uncertainty and fear, whom the
peace of Europe is threatened, the people sus-
tain the monarch a. the head and representa-
tive Of the nation. Love Of country then
becomes stronger than discomfort with the
government. His Majesty Of Austria owes
much of the enthusiasm which attended his
return to the capital to Austrian dread of
Prussia. Bismarck is sustained because the
Germans fear French revenge and an Aus
TRAN and Italian coalition. Monarchy is made
stronger by national rivalries, and we must
not doubt that liberal ideas are progressing in
the Old World merely because the people are
often compelled TO be patriots first aud rspub-
licans afterward.
The Comte de Chamhori still hopes to be
King. A war might seat him upon the throne,
but vote would not The Bourbons have
profted only by the defeats Of France SINCE the
time Of Napoleon-when, after the battle Of
Leipsic had annihilated the French army, the
allies enthroned Louis XVLIL-until now,
when the Republic is built upon the ruin Of
the Empire. This tune they have failed to
enter Paris at the head Of German army. II
France il permitted to be at peace the founda-
tons Of the Republic viii be securely laid. but
IL she Is AGAIN forced 10 fight it is not i'm
possible that the Bourbons may once more be-
come monuments OF foreign conquest and
national disgrace. War is indispensable to
monarchy. and TO none Of the royal dynasties
more than that Of France. We believe that a
century OF perfect peace in Europe would
irresistibly make the whole Continent rcpub-
hcan.

in nearly every instance these are be-
ing made larger than before the fire

WHO ARE THE VICTORs.

OF q verify the telegraphic news re-
ceived the day after the late elections,
was colored to suit the views of the
GRANTEES. Everywhere, according to
these reports. the Democrats had met
with a Waterloo defeat, and Third
Term" stock rose one hundred per-
cent. in the market. Grant smoked
his cigar as he read the news, and came
to the conclusion that every act Of his
administration, from signing the salary
grab bill to the appointment of Chan
dler Secretary of State, was endorsed
10y the people. Now, however, that
the smoke of the contest is clearing
away, very different scene is pre-
scented. New York, Virginia, Maryland
and Mississippi have each and all gone
Democratic, and the latest news from
Wisconsin reports the entire Demo-
cratic ticket elected in that State.
Massachusetts, the citidel of Republic
canism for years, is close, and neither
party has much to boast of in that
State. Pennsylvania, where the lnda-
ton heresy was partially ratified by
the Democrats, has elected Hartranft,
and Democrats in the Eastern States
do not regret it. At this rate it is not
easy to determine who were the victors
in the late elections, and Democrats
have certainly as much cause for re-
joicing as Republicans.
