The serious check experienced by General
Crooks column in it's recent battle with the
warriors of Sitting Bull, and which was
fully described by our special correspondent
has shaken public confidence in our ability
to conquer the Sioux as quickly as was anti
cipated at the outset of hostilities, especially
when it has been made known that General
Crook has ordered up FIVE companies Of in
fantry and the Fifth cavalry as reinforce
ments for his command. The activity of tho
Sioux and the breadth of their field
of operations show how serious Is the
danger that menaces, for it is evident that
scouting parties of Sitting Bulls force are
securing the country, even in the rear o.
General Crooks position. A late despatch
informs MS that the courier who was sent to
Fort Fetterman on June 10 with duplicates
Of the HERALD special dispatches from the
field, published in last Saturdays issue, has
not yet reported at the fort, and fears are en-
tertained that he has fallen into the hands
Of the Sioux.
There is evident need Of sending strong
rcinforcements to the different columns OF
troops acting against the Sioux In arrang-
ing the plan of. campaign the military au-
thorities seem to have moderated the i'm
portance Of the enemy. AT least we judge
SO from the disregard shown to the sound
principles of war which forbid the use OF
converging columns in the face of an active
and resolute enemy unless there is good
reason to believe that each column is more
than match for any force that can be
brought against it. After the experience OF
General Crook command it would be little
rash to say that the smaller columns are not
in danger of being beaten in detail. A large
number Of troops is at present distributed
over points where their presence can easily be
dispensed with, and it would be only prud-
dent to place as many of them in the
field as would remove all doubt. rs to
the issue of the present campaign
against the Sioux. Whatever opinions
may be held as to the business or expediency
of beginning this new Indian war, now that
we have it on our hands we must carry it on
vigorously and successfully for the sake OF
the frontier settlements. We who are un-
ages can afford to receive with philosophic
calm the news of the reverse sustained by
the troops on the Plains, confident that.
sooner or later, the power of the govern
ment must make itself felt; but for tho
jewellers on the frontiers, disaster to the
troops means burning homesteads and
murdered families. Those who have fos-
tered this war cannot escape from the re-
sponsibility for any outrages that may be
committed by Indian bands exceptthey send
every available man to the front, so as to Sc
cure an early termination to war that
endangers the safety Of an extensive and
poorly guarded frontier.

THE MKxoRr OF HocHs the gallant soldier
of the first Republic, was celebrated on Sat-
urday by distinguished body of French re-
publicans No sounder or wiser words than
those of Gambetta on that occasion have
been uttered by any republican since the
famous 4th September, 1870, when the
Empire fell to pieces. The danger to
the Republic, Gambetta feels, can no
longer come from without, and hence
ne force of his warning to his
brethren not to be intoxicated with
victory and SO raise up dangers to the Re-
public from within. To bear and forbear,
70 march in the road Of peace, to educate. are
Che main points of the republican pro-
gramme as he framed it. He keenly sees the
moral and material advantages to the coun-
try by keeping the path Of peace amid the
disturbances Of Europe. 1t is lucky for
France that the leader of thu republicans is
. man Of such hard common sense.

IT Is SOME TINE since we have been called
on to chronicle railroad accident as disas-
trous MS that which occurred on the BARGE
Iona and Sarsgossa Railroad, in Spain, on
Saturday. Seventeen persons were killed
and thirty-seven injured. What has come
to be regarded as the accident season on the
English railroads begins about July and
reaches its highest average in August, when
the passenger traffic is swelled enormously
by the cheap special excursion trains that
run in all directions from the great me-
tropolis.

The Harvard AND YALE UNIVERSITY
RAcE---The first eight-oared shell race in
America comes of between the University
crews of Harvard and Yale on the Connecti-
cut. atSpring6eld, on Friday afternoon next
We present to-day an account of the course
and the opportunities for viewing it, of the
crews at practice, their styles Of rowing, the
difficulties Of the coxswains' task, the dimen-
sions Of boats and other matters bearing
upon the coming struggle. Unless Yale is to
row a quicker stroke in the race than she has
yet shown it looks like contest between the
slow and fast strokes, and, while over so
long distance the former ought seemingly
70 win. it is by no means certain to. Yale
keeps four of her old men, including Captain
Cook, while there is but one of last years
crew in the Harvard boat The Connecticut
is higher than in 1878 and in order for q
fast race.

The GANGS OF RUFFIANs, young and DID,
whose outrages against the peace of the city
and the lives of law abiding citizens only
come to the surface when some unusually
caring crime has been committed, should
receive more attention from the police than
they do at present. The case of the gang
which, after committing series of depreda-
tions in Union Square Park, wound up by
stabbing an unofs nding man in the eye,
probably with fatal effect, is one in point
The most severe punishment should be
melted out to the offenders, whose class is
the terror of the city after nightfall. These
gangs are we'll known to the police, but they
are allowed to roam about the streets in o
Semi-intoxicated condition without the
smallest interference.

The Democratic Roll Call.

We complete this morning the long series
of interviews with the delegates to the Dem
ocratic National Convention which we have
been publishing during the week, and sup
plement these remarkable contributions to
the political history of the day with care
fully compiled statement of the personal
preferences of every delegate to st. Louis.
This summary will enable the reader to take
in at glance the relative strength of the
rival candidates, and although we can
scarcely expect it to be absolutely. accurate
it will be found very nearly to represent the
number Of votes each candidate will receive
on the first ballot. 1t must be remembered
that it takes two delegates to democratic
convention to make a full vote, and so these
figures represent twice the number of votes
This invaluable table does even more than
indicate the relative strength of candi-
dates--it shows where each of them is
strongest For instance, as we run down the
list of States, we find that Tilden is
strongest in New England, the Gulf States,
the Northwest and the Pacific slope Bay
ards strength is in his own. State and in
Maryland. Virginia and North Carolina but
in most of these there are grave doubts as to
his availability, which makes the votes
credited to him of merely complimentary
character. The Southern delegates are not
pressing his nomination only because his
Southern sentiments and sympathies might
prove detrimental to the party. Ex-
Governor Allen, of Ohio, has little or no
strength outside of his own State, and it is
not often that the ''greenback" delegates
even are found bold enough to express pref
erence for him. Thurman has friends scat
tered all over the country, and Joel Parker
is frequently named as second or third choice.
The same thing is true of General Hancock,
but there is some opposition to naming a
these last named may become the favorite in
case the antagonisms between the more pow
erful of the candidates arc too strong to allow
the nomination of one Of them; but our
figures show Tilden far in the lead, and ref
erences to the second and third choice of
delegates will show that he has considerable
reserve strength. In any event. the table is
full of interest, for it is the only complete
approximation that has yet been made of the
interesting question of strength at St. Louis,
and will be examined with eagerness by all
who are anticipating the action of the Con-
vention.

SPAIN IS SHIFTING THE AIR after the manner
of n high melted horse at the thought that
England is about to ask impertinent ques-
tons regarding what Spanish officials may
choose to think liberal construction Of the
''ToIerntion clause" of the new constitution.
No question has been asked by England, but
the sensitive nostrils Of the Spanish dons
have smelt something like question. The
utterance Of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
on this matter was merely sop to the
Church party.

The CITIZENS OF New JERSEY were again
surprised yesterday morning by supply of
Sunday HERALDs that were borne by spank
ing teams into the heart of the old Revolu-
tionary State. This is not so great a feat in
its way as running train to San Francisco
in eighty-two hours; but it brought joy to a
wide circle Of HERALD readers; and that
these were near to New York is strong rea-
son why they should not be neglected,
while points hundreds of miles away are
reached and filled with the latest intelli-
pence

THE ATTITUDE OF SERvIA makes it appear
that Russia is not to be baked in her deter
mination to bring the Christian knife to bear
upon the Mohammedan ulcer in Europe
Her agents are still said to be busy at Bel
grade egging on the Servian war party,
and Prince Milan is said to find
himself between the alternatives of
revolution or war. In truth, nothing
Is worse for poor State like Servia than the
state Of armed peace which she is at pres
snt enduring. Her first step across the
Turkish frontier will cost, no doubt, but we
scarcely think that she will be long left to
bear the burden of the fray. Another revo-
luton at Constantinople is among the possi-
bIities, and amid the decentralization of the
Moslems the Slavs will find their long
wished-for opportunity.

mean, if they can, to drive him out of the
party. New York was in danger of a mutiny
as severe and humiliating as the mutiny Of
Pennsylvania. II was avoided by tact But
the elements of discord exist and are active.
At the Union League meeting the other
evenings meeting held to indorse the re-
publican nominations-not one word was
said about the canvass of Conkling, not
word of sympathy or appreciation. This
shows how the club feels toward the first
orator of the party and one of the most gifted
men who ever sat in the Senate. So when
the State Convention meets look ont for
music. Five years ago the chiefs of the re-
publican factions were known as Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail. Red Cloud was defeated
at Cincinnati, and it would not surprise us
to see Spotted Tail on the warpath when the
Governorship is to be won.

The heat yesterday tested the faith of
Christian New Workers sorely. Piety evil
IDENTIFY has calori6c limitations to judge by
the way few extra degrees on the Their
mometer thinned out the churches. Huge
hot air furnaces have triumphed over the
cold Of winter in the sacred edifces, but as
our church walls are not often built of the
solid masses of stone that keep the great
cathedrals of Europe cool under blazing
sun the pious must perspire. The tempera-
ture of our city churches yesterday must
have awakened o desire in many for
that breezy primeval worship which
we call the camp meeting 1t is
natural that in country of brick
and wooden churches the grateful shade
of the woods should be preferred in
summer time to the close precincts Of the
meeting house. A good many of our divines
have preached their farewell city sermons
for the season, and hereafter they will be
heard from in the watering place notes, and
now and again at camp meeting or hotel
that 'Jestina lente" applies to the why's of
Providence, whose apparent slowness our I'M
patience fatally misconstrues. Mr. Beecher
attempted the hazardous task Of analysing
the attributes Of God as He was mentally
projected by the prophets Of old hazard
GUS, because it involved q comparison of the
narrow ideal possible to human minds with
the undefnable Infinite. DR.. Hepworth
had to preface his sermon with an appeal for
money. He only wants thirty thousand dol.
lars to secure the edifice to the congregation,
and it is to be hoped the wealthy disciples
will rally around their pastor in his time of
tribulation. His sermon was directed
toward advising his hearers to lay up
treasures in heaven, where, we may add
parenthetically, there are no 'hard times"
or mortgage foreclosures. 1t would be dis
grace to this wealthy congregation if they
should desert their Woodworking pastor.

are belied by the first and second ballots
the Southern Tilden men will waver and
break. The looseness of the Southern allie
glance to persons gives Mr.. Tilden no reason
to hope that any of the Southern delegations
will fight q persistent battle for him. What
they are in quest of is n man who will sub
stantially unite the Northern democrats and
be accepted with the vigorous unapivSky
which has greeted the nomination of Hayes
want a candidate who would be exposed to q
democratic fire in the rear.
The present strength of the democratic
party in the Southern States is q signal
illustration Of the futility of political plans
and calculations. From the moment that
the civil war approached its close it was the
chief study of the republican leaders to pre-
vent the democratic party from regaining its
old ascendancy in the South and again con-
trolling the politics of the country, with the
aid of few allies in the Northern States.
This was the guiding idea of the reconstruc-
ton measures, which gave the republican
party control of Southern politics for . short
period, but which, by powerful reaction,
resulting from the abuses of the system,
have made the democratic party stronger in
the South than it ever was previous to the
war. Judged by tho result that system of
measures is one of the most egregious mis-
carriages in political history. The South
ern communities have been kept in a
state of turmoil and disturbance for ten
years to fasten on them o system by
which the democratic party was to be
kept out of power by the negro vote,
and the result is that the democrats
never had such complete control of the
Southern States as they possess in conse-
quence Of that stupendous experiment.
Even with the Enforcement law in full prac-
tical vigor, sustained by federal bayonets
and backed by republican ascendancy in
every department of the national govern
ment the democratic party regained its
control. of the South. The Enforcement law
has since been shivered like piece of fragile
pottery by the Supreme Court, and the at
tempt of the Senate to cement the fragments
together is utterly idle against the demo-
cratic majority Of the House There was
never q more conspicuous instance of politi-
cal engineers being ''hoist by their own
petard.'
