SITTING BULL DISCUSSED.

Washington, Jan. 2l.-Atthe cabinet ses.
sion to-day Secretary Schurz stated that he
had received a report from the Indian agent
at Cheyenne agency, to the effect that infor-
nation had reached that place Of the re-
crossing of the Canadian line into the
United States Of the noted chief, Sitting
Bull, with his people, and that they are ex-
ceedingly anxious to return to this country
and come under the supervision of the In
dian bureau, aud be distributed in the In
dian country as are other tribes. This news
wasnot confirmed by any information at the
war department, but it was thought worthy
of consideration, and led to some discussion
in the cabinet, 1t is reported that some
$500 lodges, nearly $4,000 people, are with
Sitting Bull. The subject will receive the
immed, late attention of the president and
secretaries Of the war and interior depart
ments. kilograms will be sent to officers of
the war department as we'll as to the Indian
agents requiring them to give the authors
ties here all the information they can obtain
90 this matter. The report is that Sitting
Bull m with most peaceable intentions,
but in the present disturbed condition of In.
dian affairs. it is not known what may be
his meaning.

THE RENO INQUIRY.

Chicago. Jan. 2l.-Iu the Reno inquiry
today some time Was consumed in debate
between counsel Us to whether the witness,
Grad bad Iodian children and whether ties
'imony on that point was admissible. The
latter issue was decided in the negative.
Inc witness testified that Custer, on sec
ing Reno moving away from the timber,
shouted: who the mischief ordered out
that commands"
Lieut.. G. A. Varnum. quartermaster of
the Seventh cavalry, testified that on the
25th and Goth of June 1876, he was second
ii-utenant in the command ofa party OF
scouts under Custer. On the Goth he was
detached from the main troops. being away
with the scouts. He did not know what
troops we're assigned 10 Reno, but be
had about 120 men. He described the ma
neuvers OF the forces. The Indians were
in greater forces than he had ever before
seen. He %recounted the advance and retreat
of Reno much the same as Girard had done,
aod said the horses and men were greatly
fstfgued. The troops were badly demoral-
ICED on their retreat.
Adjourned.

FOREIGN GRAIN MARKETS.

London, Jan. 2l.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press says: The aspect Of the growing
wheat plant is scarcely satisfactory, as the
sudden changes in temperature have tend.
ed TO check its early development, but an.
other month or six weeks must elapse be.
fore any definite opinion can be put forward
rs 10 the actual state of the crop. Farmers
deliveries have again been moderate, and
the dissatisfaction continues in regard to
the condition in which most English wheat
comes to market. Dry parcels are quite
an exception, both in London and the prov
incial exchanges. Nearly all samples Of
fered are damp or sprouted, so it is detec-
tive. This condition must be attributed
to the comparative neglect from which
hone grown wheat has suffered, and which
has prevented Us from sharing the increas.
ed attention paid to foreign grains.
The imports of foreign wheat into Lon.
don continues moderate. More attention
has been paid to this class Of produce as
graneried stocks in the United States show
considerable deiccincyon those held at the
corresponding time in 1878. MllIers have
purchased with less reserve and a steady
trade has resulted at fuller late rates. The
index point as regards the future course OF
prices is the unusually large surplus availa-
Ole for export: IN America. which must ex
ercise a depressing effect if the purchasing
power of France ID overestimated. Apart
from the uncertainty attaching to the opera
lions, of our %neighbors, who instead of ex-
porting wheat have been large importers, it
remains to be seen whether the reserves OF
grain in the hands of the French farmers
will be sufficient to meet the requirements
of consumption.
With large arrivals at ports of call during
the week, principally the California floating
cargo, the trade for wheat has ruled steady
without quo,able change.
Maize is firm at an advance Of Cd per
quarter.
The sales Of English wheat last week we're
52,l4l quarters at 3Ss lid per quarter,
against 29,425 quarters at 52s per gu .rter
the previous year. The imports into Grea,
Briton for the week ending Jan. II were:
Wheat, 740,94 hundred weights and flour
l7S,09l hundred weights.

FRANCE PASSES THE CRISIS.

New York Herald Bureau.-A Paris cor
respondent Of the Herald telegraphs as fol-
lows: "Paris is happy and content tonight.
The triumph Of the ministry in the chamber
of deputies this evening is regared with
general satisfaction. NJ. Dufaure's speech
was an admirable effort, and decided at once
the waveiing assemblage. The majority of
1o2, by which the vote Of confidence was
carried (the figures stood 223 to 12l) is sufi-
cient to bear down all further radical efforts
Of a similar character, aud the prestige of
this apparent victory will impa,t a prolong-
ed vitality to the cabinet. NJ. Dufaure's
speech proved how unjust and illfounded
has been this attack On the ministry. The
temper of the country is clearly shown in
the fact that for the last few days the mem
bers of the chamber of deputies have been
overwhelmed with dispatches from their
constituents, calling upon them to support
the government. The vote is most impor-
tant, and will fully restore confidence in re-
publican government, which had be .un to
be shaken by these unaccountable assaults
or an honest and energetic ministry, and it
will give a fresh stimulus to financial and
commercial operations, which were fast be-
ing paralyzed by this state Of things"

THE DEMOCRATIC SUBSTITUTE.
For the Edmunds q Resolution Declaring
Ii Validity of Three of the Con-
sx&A.AIonnl A~a>sa..

For the Edmund q Resolution Declartns
h Validity of Three of the Con-
stitutional Amendments.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-Mr. Morgan sub
mitted u substitute agreed upon IN the demo
cratic caucus for Mr.. Edmunds' resolution
concerning suffrage and the later constitu.
t'onal amendments Laid on the table.
The following are the resolutions:
1. Resolced, As the judgment OF the SEN
ate that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fiji
teenth amendments to the contribution
Of the United States are as valid and bindin.
rs any other part Of the constitution; tina,
the people of the United States have COM
mon interest Ia the enforcement of the
whole constitution IN the United States.
and that it is alike the right and duty Of the
United States, 80 far as power has been del
egated to them, to enforce said amendments
and 10 protect every citizen in the exercise
Of all rights thereby secured.
2 Resolged, That the government of the
United States and the government OF the
several states are distinct, and each has
citizens of its OWL who owe to it allegi-
ance and whose rights within its jurls-
diction it must protect that the government
of the United States is one Of delegated
powers alone; its authority is defined and
limited by the constitution and all powers
not granted it by that instrument and not
prohibited to it by the states are reserved
to the states respectfully, or to the people,
and that no right can be acquired under the
constitution or secured through the laws of
the United States, except such as the gov
eminent of the United States has authority
to grant or secure.
!. Resolved, That the constitution of the
United States has not conferred the right of
suffrage upon any one and the United States
have no voters of their own creation in the
states, but the 18th amendment to the con-
stitution has invested the citizens of the
United States with a new constituent right.
which is exemption from discrimination in
the exercise of the elective franchise on &C
count of race, color or previous condition Of
servitude, and it is within the jurisdiction of
the United States, which congress may exert
by appropriate legislation, to prevent the
denial OF a~bridgement by . state of the
right of . citizen to vote when such denial
or abridgement is on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude of the
voter.
4. Resolved, That when such right to vote
is denied BY or abridged BY the conduct of q
person who is not 80 acting by authority of
and in obedience to the laws Of q state, the
jurisdiction to punish such conduct is in the
state government andis not in The govern.
ment of the United States.
