In another column will be found the
pithy and comprehensive report Of tho
plenipotentiaries who went all the way to
Canada to see Sitting Bull and were meta
phorically tossed. These sensible gentle
men refer the government 10 tho report
already printed in the HKnALD for the
particulars Of their interview with the
wilful savage, as they do not deem it
worth while TO report all that story
by telegraph. This is a piece Of prac-
tical wisdom and economy that at once
saves the public money and indicates the
best source Of reliable information on cur
rent events Our dispatches give to-day
some further details. IL was naturally a
primary object Of tho government to know
whether we had to apprehond new
incursions from the incorrigble Sioux,
and the result of the commission is
tolerably clear on that head. Another
necessary point was that we should, ont
of. good will to our neighbors, do what
was fairly required to open such a way for
Sitting Bulls return to his home that he
could only become trouble on the Canada
side in pure despite of all reasons to the
contrary. That we have done, and our
hands are morally washed of this red nui-
sance. 1t will be observed that the English
commandant does not contemplate with
eminent satisfaction the addition that
the presence OF these Sioux makes to the
population of the British Empire. He has
laid before them in plain terms that Her
Majesty does not regard their admiration
with unmixea pride, is not absolutely happy
about their compliments, and will not un-
dertake to supply them with commissary
department. Even this has not qualified
their determination to become subjects Of
Her Majesty.

Business Assigam~nrs--isegis isser
Fitch's Statement

The manufacturers and merchants Of this
city, and, for that matter, of the whole coun-
try, will find in the list q business assign-
ments, together with the liabilities, nomi-
nal and actual assets filed during tho last
two years under our State laws, a good deal
of material for sober thought and
reflection. The tables In question.
to which We surrender 40 much
Of our space. have boon compiled by
Mr. Fitch, Register in Bankruptcy. from
the records Of the courts and 81 tho County
Clerks Office. and may be depended upon az
entirely trustworthy. In presenting these
figures II must not be understood that ali or
even any one Of the persons and firms
named in tho long list can bo classed as
having ayailed himself Of the benefits Of the
law from improper motives. They are
printed simply TO show the magnitude of
the transactions, aud 10 prove what a wide
field there is tor dishonesty under the opcr-
atoms OF existing laws, especially when
those laws are loosely administered. and
when officials whose duty il il TO protect
the interests of the creditor class fail in the
performance Of that duty.
Ii Is idle to expect a return Of prosperity
or business revival until business Il hon
estly and honorably conducted, and that IL
is not 50 conducted in a large number of
cases now the records OF the courts show
only too plainly. Mr.. Fitch, in calling attcn-
ton to fraudulent assignments. has nor
formed very great and important public
service, for which he Is entitled TO the
thanks of the entire mercantile community.
Our State insolvent laws open the door
for the widest fraud and rascality,
