TREA TING WITH SITTING BULL.

II appears from an interview with Gen.
TERRY, which has been published, that he
Is of the opinion that the re'ioubtnhle In
dian chief SITTING BULL hns left Canada,
and IL now on our own soil. II Is to be
hoped that this will turn out to be the case,
for II will save our Government the humilia-
ton of sending commissioners to that m
tanned barbarian, who has twice badly de-
feated our military forces, and who is not
now asking US for terms OF surrender
Whatever obligutions the law Of nations
may have imposed upon us TO treat with
him while on Canadian territory, we will
now be freed from, If 1t turns out to be true
that he voluntarily returned 10 our country.
In any event, we should not condescend to
make any treaty with that savage until he
has been thoroughly thrashed, for II we
were to do 70 he would take IL NJ an evi-
dence of fear and weakness, and we could
not expect him to observe any treaty obli-
cations IN good faith. At some time when
we we're nnprspAred and least expected it.

Gon. JEKkf states the additional fact
that it would not be safe for the commits

BULL unless protected by an overwhelming
military force. As the Indian s'Harriors

sentiment has been very emphaticaly cxpressed
His trip was largely through the rural districts and
smaller towns, In which, II anywhere, there might
be supposed to exist an opposition among radical
Republicans to his Southern policy. 1t was through

Resolved, That while, adherng TO the principles

lieve that as good Democrats, who desire
prosperity to every State in the Union, we can and
do heartily indorse the socalled policy OF the pres

We believe this resolution embodies tho feelings

THE practice Of the present editors Of the
North american RerieT In opening its columns
for the contributions of non-litorary men will
DO apt to causc deterioration in the quality
of tho matter in that periodical rs compared
with the days when It's articles were all pre-
pared by the most scholarly mon In the coun-
try. 1t might be well for the editors to rcmem-
Der that the country is already suffering too
much from crude opinions hastily given to
the public, and that there are many readers
who would prefer the siaid and conservative
policy formerly pursued rather than that
which admits hasty articles upon current
topics, writton in style more suitable for u
newspaper than for solid Reriew.

That Mr.. Hayes Is de f,eio II not de jure

WHAT THE SOUTH ADMITS.
,nr, tha Naahville A N, erlran.

The South only admits one point, so far IA
the controversy with the North Is concerned-and
we think both have almost prohtab!y closed IT.
that is the fact Of having been defeated IN war, and
having failed IN the design Of establishing sepa-
rate government and Of having accepted the con.
ditions aud entered In good faith In the confedera
ton as citizens and States OF the United States,
nothing more was necessary, except Us a debasing
act OF humility which the oonquerors, or at least
some of them, very naturally demanded. Such an
act of self.degradation would have marked US as
serfs and ignobe slaves unfit for citizenship, and
incapable Of becoming citizens useful to the
