What Sittiny Bull Wants.

Our dispatches from General Terry's ex-
petition this morning give us ground for
hope that the war with the Sioux is near its
end. 1t is now as important to prevent the
escape of the Indians MS to fight them; but
we may hope that before long Sitting Bull
and his braves will be brought to bay and
taught the lesson they so much need to learn.
But the most remarkable part of the morn
ings news is the message which Sitting Bull
has sent through Medicine Cloud to Major
Mitchell at Fort Peck. The willy savage
sees the fate to which he is doomed and
seeks to avert it. He did not begin the war ;
he does not want to fight the whites, while
they insist upon fighting him, and If he
can have everything he wants he will make
peace. This is his peace policy, and its
similarity to that of another willy brave will
be readily noted. "All we want is to be let
alone" said Mr.. Jefferson Davis. 81 and

AnOInylnA.

It is singular story of social jealousy and
Washington this morning. Although there
were hints Of this thing before it was never
publicly known that series of anonymous
letters written to members of the Cabinet
and even to Mrs. Grant, and attributed to
Mrs. Williams, wife of the Attorney General
had been made the subject of an investiga-
ton, and that Mr.. Williams forced retire
ment from the Cabinet was due entirely to
the result of this inquiry. The facts we now
print come as revelation not so much Of
the official and personal corruption which
underlies public life at Washington as of the
so strong an element in Washington society
In reviewing these revelations we would not
speak unkindly Of or deal harshly with the
woman to whose hand these anonyma were
traced. At the bottom there was truth
probably, in most of the charges, and a
vast outlook of conjecture is opened up by
the mere suggestion of cause for o course
so remarkable in q woman so distinguished
There is still mystery behind it all, the
unravelling of which would probably begin
witls~those pests of journalism, the female
correspondents. These women of the press
have been trying to teach the ''ofiicial To-
dies at Washington that they ought to be
something more than good wives and moth
ers. In city of boarding houses and
Treasury clerks they have been trying to set
up laws of social precedence, and within
few years there have been ''tirst ladies" and
second ladies'" diplomatic ladies" and
Cabinet ladies" in Washington society.
The puffery has been disgusting, and many
events in General Grants administration
have shown the results of the puffery and
rivalry to have been disastrous Mrs. Bel
knap and Mrs. Williams might have been
rivals in the ballroom and at receptions
without much harm, but both aspired to lead
and each tried to crush the other In these
rvalries Mrs. Williams was detected. or sus-
pec.ed to the point of certainty, in acts of
which no man, much less n woman, should be
guilty, and in consequence the Attorney
General lost his place in the Cabinet. In
her efforts to shine in place where mod
osty was her best recommendation Mrs. Bel
KNAPP led her husband into persistent
and systematic acceptance of bribes, and his
downfall is her shame also. In all this So
cial rivalry and tomfoolery-these efforts to
be first ladies in society aud to get puffs in
the newspapers-there can be only shame

Another War OF Races.

There is scarcely any indispensable COM
modify of news so plentiful in these days as
"wars of races" but they are rather COM
moner in the Southern States than else
where. 1t is fact that will catch the eye of
the judicious that the roll of persons accused
of vulgar and common crimes is smaller as
the list swells of the heroes and victims of o
war Of races. Soon after vaccination had come
into general use, and the smallpox had be-
come satisfactorily infrequent, it was no
ticed that there was an increase in the
mortality from some other diseases, rs
typhoid fever, scarlet fever and mea-
sles. This, strange to say, puzzled the
doctors for while; but at last one brilliant
fellow hit upon the fancy that, as the small
pox was nearly excluded from the list Of
fatal diseases, those whom it had formerly
attacked must necessarily survive to become,
in time, victims of some other malady.
There seems to be some relation of this sort
in the old and the new classifications OF dis
orders in the Southern States. There are
few horse thieves, no highwaymen; there is
is q chronic war Of races, and all the old
numbering and horse stealing genius seems
to be concealed somewhere in that classi-
fication, We might congratulate the South
upon the loss of its common criminals, if it
did not appear that the new name of war of
races renders it very difficult to hang MUIR
derer without political consequences.

wAGNER.--Our special despatch from
Baireuth describing the concluding festivi-
ties of the great season of Wagners music
drama tells us of fitting termination to
the composers unique enterprise. At
the festive board Wagner received
tribute Of admiration from an assemblage
that was, composed of kings and princes.
Power and wealth did homage to genius, and
every admirer of the composer of the now
famous Trilogy must feel gratified at his tri-
umph. While satisfied with the general re-
suit, Wagner dreams of future victories, and
:alls to his assistance the sympathetic devo
ion of his followers in all lands. While we
smile ut the enthusiasm of the Wagnerites
We can readily understand its significance.

The Conference Of tho Committees.
1t is odd to see how some things dwindle
as they are put to the test of expert
ence Tammany and anti -Tammany saw the
necessity of burying the hatchet, in view Of
the importance of the approaching Presi-
dental struggle, and at first nothing
seemed easier. There was little diplomacy,
and then broad. bold, formal action. Both
sides determined upon conference and
each agreed to conference committee.
The committees were appointed but,
alas ! for the vanity Of human expec-
tations, forty-seven New York demo-
Gratis, evenly divided in aim and interest.
proved too many to accomplish anything.
Then q subcommittee Of six was appointed
to do the thinking for the other forty
one; but experience again proved that
dozen New York democrats, evenly divided
in aim and interest, are too many to ac-
complish anything. The six anti-Tam-
manyites wanted an equal division of the
spoils down to the minutest crumb which
could be gathered anywhere from the White
House to the City Hall, and tho
six Tammanyites were willing enough
to accept the White House part
of the proposition, but could not
see the path Of duty 80 plainly in the other
locality. This is not much to be wondered
at when it is considered that Tammany Hall
has been filing our municipal offices so long
that the reverse of last year was as unex-
pected as it was terrible Tammany knows
that the surrender of halt the loaves
and fishes is only prelude to the surrender
Of ALL and SO the subcommittee of six
were still further reduced to committees Of
two on each side. II these four democrats
cannot agree all hope of peace will be at
an end and there will be war, in which our
Uncle Samuel must suffer, because the local
offices in New York are more important
matter in the eyes of our politicians than
the election of President of the United
Stntes

SERvIAN SUCCESSES are the rule in the
Eastern war news this morning. Prince
Milan is confident and the Turks are not
only suffering reverses, but part of tho Turk
ish army is threatened with starvation. All
this sounds very well for Servia, but we cam
not forget that yesterday the boot was on the
other leg AID may be again tomorrow. If
Servia can obtain proper guarantees from
Turkey by the aid of the great Powers their
acceptance would be the happiest consum-
nation.

the other chiefs want the Black Hills aban-

ting Bull. In this the warrior is too adroit
When We wanted peace he went to war.
Now he wants peace, but he wants it on
his own terms and upon conditions which
will enable him to repeat the impudence
of the famous Billy Bowlegs of the time Of
the Florida wars. On his visit to the North
after that struggle Bowlegs always hailed
with delight the sight of the portraits of the
generals he had overcome, and expressed
his satisfaction by the exclamation, '.Ah
lick him." Evidently Sitting Bull desires
to do something of the same kind, but in the
meantime to get everything he wants, and, if
possible, without fighting for it

WHAT DoEs LORD CAIRNS MEAN ?-In the
extradition debate in the House of Lords the
Lord Chancellor, Lord Cairns, replying to
Earl Granville, is reported in the English
papers to have said:-"The next authority
the noble Earl refers to is Mr.. Mullens, who
is described by Mr.. Fish as tho Solicitor
General for England "a laugh) That, of
course, is a mistake; but at all events MIR.
Mullens is a most respectable solicitor" &c.
The remarkable point about the statement
of Lord Cairns is that Mr. Fish made no such
reference TO Mr. Mullens as is asserted We
have taken the trouble to look through his
despa; ches, and we do not find that he any
where describes Mr. Mullens as solicitor
General of England" Mr.. Fish does name
him, and in these words:-"Mr. Mullens, an
eminent member of the Bar, who was coun-
sci in the Lawrence case" DC. Is it not n
bit OF sharp practice when the Lord Chan
cellor of England, to strengthen his position,
which he evidently felt to be weak ito use n
phrase of the late Mr.. Sumner) "makes q
statement which has no foundation in
fact?"

The Disposition OF Paupcr Children.
If it was great crime in Mosher, Douglass
and their allies to abduct and hold Charley
Ross, to the distraction of his parents, it is
difficult to see that it was or is commend
able in certain so-called charitable organiza-
tions to send away and withhold from their
mother the four children of Mrs. Ann Hope,
unless we boldly adopt the theory that
mother who is poor has no feelings that an
incorporated charitable society is bound to
respect or the other theory that parents
control over infant children, though good
against all the rest of the world, loses its
validity when asserted against the Home
for Destitute Children or the Childrens Aid
Society. 1t seems that societies of this ma
ture, supported by the contributions of
public benevolence, have authority to take
the children of the poor and to acquire in
them if not withdrawn in certain time such
property as pawnbroker acquires in 'un-
redeemed pledges" and under cover of this
right may separate parent and children as
effectually as did Mosher and his fellow kid
nappers and this is condition that must
certainly deprive these organizations of the
power to be of such service to the poor as
they allege they can be when they appeal to
the benevolent, for the fear of the condition
will keep away more than the greatly needed
aid will attract
