Gen. Terry having brought information
that Sitting Bull, with thirteen hundred

The re-. ult Of the French Parliamentary
elections will be awaited with intense inter
est 10y all friends Of Gcpuhlicanism. both in
this country aud in Europe. That this
appeal to the French people will be favora
bic To the republic. past events clearly por-
tend; and the confidence with which the
Republicans look forward to the approach
ing struggle is not all assumed, as q glance
at the election returns since 1871 shows.
In the first Assembly after the war Of 1870
there were only lsl Republicans to 9G2 anti
Republicans. But forthwith the movement
in favor of Rcpuhlicani7m began to set in, a
movement which has as yet received no inn
poriautchcck. lnJuly. 1871, ~ vacant seats
were filled 80 10y Republican Deputies and
only 23by Republican Deputies. Among
the former, A. were Radicals. with GAMDErrA
returned by three constituencies. Partial
elections to I'LL other vacancies occurred at
different Times until February, 1870 ia which
the Republicans got 81 -cat- and thoir OPP
poncnts but 10. On Fch. -, 1876. was held
the second general election since the war,
when the Assembly recently Dissolved by
MAcMAuoN Was chosen. This time the Re-
pubiicaus carried oil 80 seats. while their
opponents secured but 15.. Ia sixty dc-
partmonis all or a majority Of the
Deputies elected wore Republicans, and
IN twcnty-ninc departments onc-helf or
less of the successful candidates belonged
to the same party. In the general elections
of ISL there were departments from which
not one Republican Deputy was returned
The contrast is striking II We turn to tine
total vote of france at tine last general
elections There T., found the Same favorable
showing for the republic. OF the 72lpOJ7
votes cast, i.lll.2oj were for Republicans.
In the city OF Paris the Republican party
pulled PIG. l,j votes against js,3H Monarch-
zeal and Bonuralti-t votes.
The foregoing facts show a rapid and
overwhelming gain for the rcpuhli, ia the
National Assembly and among the French
people; and We may expect in September
another enforcement of the republic more
! decisive than any previous one.

from being the policy Of this State that we

What strikes one as strange under these

the Acknowledgement OF the State, in an

We ans wcr frankly that THE SuN Is lndc-
pendent. 1t H. not owned by any party, and
no politician or association of politicians
has any claim upon il. OF late years it has
sticnuou-ly opposed the Republican party
by reason OF the universal corruption into
which that party has fallen; and it has
generally though not always supported the
candidates ul the Democratic party, because
it H. ouly through that organization that the
Republican party can be overthrow ami
aunihilatcd aud more wholesome state OI
politics be- introduced.
The condition Of the Republican party
having been such before the election Of last
autumn. it Is Thousand times worse now
after having through fraud installed a Pros
iIcnt who WAS not elected. and having got
possession Of the power If the Government
in defiance Of justice, Of law of the Cun-ti-
tuition. aud of the votes of the people. Ii is
therefore u-peakably more necessary than
ever before that this party should be- wiped
out. and that signal justice should bc adj
miuistcrcd upon it for this unparalleled
wrong.

our correspondent that in it, political opn-
