SITTING BULL CONTENT.

H..
Father Martin, of Standing Rock. ar
rived at Bismarck to-day on his return
from his visit to Sitting Bull. He found
the Old scalper on Frenchman's Creek.
about 40 miles north of the British Amer.
lcan boundary. Sitting Bull refused TO
hold a council with him except in the
presence OF one of the British officers
Accordingly. after a delay of one week.
the attendance of Majors Walsh and Ir.
win and Captain Allen. from Fort Walsh.
was secured, and after long talk Sitting
Bull determined to quit fighting and to
remain in the British possessions. The
British officers answered him all would be
well it he behaved himself and did not
commit depredations on either side of the
line. Sitting Bulls followers are divided
into three bands, and number in all about
$50 lodges, or 1000 fighting men, and
Father Martin is satisfied they have had
enough OF war, and desire now to be lei
alone. In crossing the river this spring
they lost nearly all their camp equipments
and much of their ammunition and many
OF their arms, and are now in no condi.
ton to pursue the warpath.
The British officers believe they can
control the sale of arms, and it is not
proposed to allow the Indians any except
the arms and ammunition needed for
hunting purposes. Sitting Bull had
grevious complaints against the United
States. He said his Father turned him
of. and he was forced to go to his Grand
mother for protection, aud therefore he
would not talk until his Grandmother WAS
heard from; but when the British officers
came, he talked very freely, with the re-.
suit stated. 31

THE RAILROAD CUES
TEON.
NORTH PACIFIC r, r,

Herald.-We do not favor extension Of
It's time. The Co. claims to be out of debt
and has shown no disposition to observe
its contract, and some capable company
should assume its franchise.
If, however, the graft is extended, we
want to see provision inserted that all
lands belonsin ing to the company shall be
open to settlers upon paying a stipulated
price per acre. The price ought to he re-
stricted to $3.50 per acre, but not to ex.
seed So per acre. because a greater price
than this would greatly retard it's settle
ment. Another provision should also be
incorporated compelling the company to
take out patents for its lands as fast as
earned, so that taxes may be LEVIED on all
their lands at the same rates as are as.

~ The improvements by the settlers
enhance the value of railroad lands. and

A RAILROAD.
Independent: If Montana has a rail.
road during the next ten years, connect.
Ing her with the marts of the world, i'll
will be line connecting with the Union
or Central Pacific as far west as CHEYENNE.
and it 10 far more probable that Its initial
point will be as far west as Ogden or Co
5inne. 1t is likely that surveys will be
made the present season over the various
routes, in order to ascertain their prac,ic-
ability, but it is useless to suppose that
any company will undertake the work
without the cooperation of the citizens
OF Montana. If they want a railroad
they must put their shoulders to the
work.

Montana from the Union Pacific and the
starting point, we would here bring before
