plain from Sitting Bulls account that
Reno remained perched upon his heights
in mortal dread of set of squaws and old
tack would have divided the warriors and
have given Custer and his men q chance
for their lives. if not for victory. Charity
would suggest in behalf Of Reno
that he knew nothing Of Clusters engage
mcnt But this excuse will not hold if
Sitting Bull tells the truth. He says that
the noise Of the firing was distinctly heard
by the collection of squaws who were con-
fronting Reno and must have been heard by
Reno himself. If this was SO that officer
seems inexcusable. Even if he had been
confronted by warriors, instead of squaws
and old men, he ought to have attacked with
the utmost dash and yigor, thereby creating
diversion for the relief of Custer.
The plan which Custer had made for
the Rosebud battle was like that which he
had always adopted in his Indian fights.
He never hesitated before superior num-
bers, but always divided his force and
assailed an Indian camp on two sides at
once, intending to profit by the confusion
and distraction of the foe. Had Reno's at
tack and his own been simultaneous itwould
probably have succeeded, as the same tactics
had always done before, and if Sitting Bull
had not been deceived by the lapse Of time
between the two attacks into the belief that
both were led by Custer he would not have
left the side toward Reno SO exposed. This
would have been q costly mistake for Sit
ting Bull if Reno had taken advantage OF it.
But when the sound of Clusters battle
came to the heights to which Reno
had fed he should have fiercely descended
upon the enemy, even if he did not
know his advantage. and not have left the
heroic Custer to deal with the whole force
OF the savages alone. What is past cannot
be remedied; the brave dead cannot be called
back to life: but no citizen can read this
true history of the Rosebud battle without
quickened movement i'll his veins-a
movement stirred as much by indignation
as by the renewal of great national sorrow.

The WEATHER. threatening indications
which pointed TO tho probability of rain last
sight have been increasing as the undulation Of
low pressure which they attended approached
the coast. The most southcrly margin Of the
lntter was yesterday morning in the region
south OF the lower lakes and Immediately east
Of the Upper Mississippi in the space between
that river and the Lower Ohio. Rains extended
over the lake region and the Ohio Valley,
and southwark toward the Gulf. In the
afternoon the margin OF the depression
moved somewhat to the northeast, still
attended by light rains and causing the
threatening cloudincss that was observ-
able along the Middle Atlantic coast SO
far the barometer falls very gradually toward
the north and northwest. The temperature has
risen very decidedly ut nll points. particularly
in the Mississippi Valley and Middle Atlantic
States. Southwark Of Tennessee the pressure
Is high, but slowly falling. In New York and
its vicinity to-day the weather will be warm
and cloudy, probably with rain, followed by de-
crcasing cloudiness and slowly falling tempera-
turc.

An Unproata bis Breach OF NsqtraIity.

An UnprOlta bAe Breach OF Neutrality
The suit brought by Mr. Oscanyan, the
late Consul General of Turkey in the United
States, against the French line Of steamers
for the recovery Of the value of one hundred
and thirty-two thousand cartridges alleged
to have been shipped to France by the
plaintiff during the French war, was
brought to termination on Wednesday be-
fore Judge Donohue by the dismissal Of
the complaint The defendants counsel,
Messrs. Buck and Chittenden, raised the
point of the illegality Of the shipment
under the neutrality laws. A private trader
has no more right to furnish belligerents
with munitions Of war from the markets
Of neutral nation than the neutral gov
eminent itself would have. The gist Of the
Alabama case was that government may
not permit its citizens to do what it might
not itself do in violation of neutrality. The
Turkish government would not deem it
good faith on the part Of the United States
to suffer the Fronch Consul General to buy
and ship arms from New York directly to
Russia to be used in the existing war. But
Mr.. Oscanyan's suit failed, moreover, be-
cause there was no proof of the delivery Of
the cartridges to the French company's line.

Law and Com IN on Sense.

There are some curious features connected
with the bankruptcy of John II. Keyser, the
Ring plumber, which, while they may be in
harmony with the requirements of law, are
not easily reconcilable with the dictates Of
common sense Keyser was one Of the
principals in the com mbination of thieves by
which the city was robbed of many millions
Of dollars. In the first terror of detection
he made an assignment of large amount Of
securities to Mr. Jackson S. Schultz, to be
held by the assignee in trust for the city,
and to repay the city in part what it may
have lost through Keyser's crimes. The
city has received nothing from the
trustee, and now Keyser claims by
an act Of bankruptcy to wipe out
all his Indebtedness. He still owes the
city all he dishonesty obtained from its
treasury, preferred claim, common sense
would say, because one for stolen money.
But the city is debarred from voice in the
election of the assignee in bankruptcy, al
though the assignee has the power to in
vestigate the city's claim as he may see fit.
The trustee is elected, therefore, without
the city's vote, and the election is, as the
Register remarks, controlled by the votes
of one Regan, former employe Of the bank
rupt, "who represents certain other former
employees in the interest of the bankrupt
to secure the choice Of assignee" This
may be all in accordance with law. It is
certainly at variance with justice and COM
mon sense.
