Generals Banks and sherman ON
IN Political Situation.
NEW YORK, April %.
A Tribune special from Red Cloud
Agency, Nebraska, says General Crook
will leave here to-mOrrow for Chicago
to consult Sheridan on Indian matters
in this Department., and will probably
visit Washington, accompanied toy
Colonel Forsyth, of Sheridan's staff.
Couriers continue to arrive daily from
| Crazy Horse, reporting his approach to
this Agency, with all his people. He
will doubtless arrive here within a
week, when the Sioux war will be end
ed. Crook goes East, it is supposed,
10 arrange for a permanent reservation
for the Sioux.
A Tribune Washington special says:
| Banks remarked to a friend o-day
that the action OF the President in
the South Carolina and Louisiana con-
~troversies was not, in his opinion, iu-
consistent with the interest of the Re-
publican party. He said the urse
OF Everts had placed the party, in re-
lation to these States. in the wrong
position, and it was therefore neces-
sary to withdraw from this attitude.
Grant had seen this during the closing
days of his administration and had
taken measures looking to the res
toration of the proper relations be-
tween the Federal and State authori-
ties, and had placed the question in
such an attitude that Hayes had only
this course to pursue. He said the
President performed his part Of the
| duty excellently and judiciOusly.
General Sherman seems to place great
faith in the promises of Hampton and
| Mel OILS as to their administration.
He said the whole philosophy Of
Southern life is based on the idea of
honor, and if there was any impulse
that would keep the Southern people
to their pledges, they have been made
to execute them. To break their faith
would bring on them the just appro-
briuln Of the whole country. 1t re-
manned to be seen how far The author
ity of those who. have made these
| pledges can be effective in overcoming
the deep-seated prejudices which in
tiuence q considerable portion of the
idle and irresponsible element in
Southern society. The General does
not anticipate any trouble growing out
| of the large trust placed by the Pres
ident in the pledges of the Southern
leaders, but is evidently in favor of
extreme measures should those prom
Uses be violated.
Position Ol the United States In the
European Misrepresentation In
Regard to the Organisation Of
the Next Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 25.
Many think by the position the
| Uniied States assumed at Geneva,
whereby we acquired the Alabama
award, the Russian fleet nov in our
waters will he Obliged 10 quit or dis.
arm. Our position rs n%eutrals, how.
ever, will not prevent II selling con-
traband articles as purely commercial
risks to both b%elligerents.
NEW YORK, April 25.
The Worlds Washington special
says: There is every reason to be.
lieve that the Democrats organize
the Senate in December with q Presi
dent pro tenn. and Secretary, on the
assurance Of two or three votes from
Southern Republicans, who may find
it to their interests not to act any
longer with the Republican party,
which. they claim has been xban-
doned by the Administration in the
South. A Democratic Senate next
fall, as well as q Democratic House,
is looked upon to- day by politicians
here as q we'll ascertained probability.
1t may come at the extra session.
CHICAGO, April rs.
The Tribune's Washington special
says: The election Of Judge SpOtford
revives the talk of the small Republic
can majority in the Senate. II Davis,
counted as q Republican, and Spoff0rd
are seated, the Republicans have but
three majority by the strictest con-
struction; and II Eustis is seated from
Louisiana, as Morton Is said to declare
he should be, the Repu olicxn majority
will be only two, which is too small
for practical purposes. 1t is almost
certain the Democrats will attempt,
with the all Of disaffected Southern
Republicans, to organize the Senate,
and they seem to be confident Of sue
cess.
The Hampton Legislature.
COLUMBIA, April, %.
In the House to-day the Democrats
passed a preamble and resolution de.
clarinY all members OF the Mackey
House in contempt of the legal House
of Represen natives and referring their
credentials to a Joint Committee of the
Judiciary and Elections, this to pass
upon their title to seats. The Repub-
lican members fiercely contested this
action, holding that although the mem
bers of the Mackey House erred they
were prima facie entitled to seats.
The committee will report tomorrow,
and probably all but five or six mem.
bers of the late Mackey House will DO
admitted.
