If it be true that tailor is but the

It is not to be expected, in the
nature of things, that harmony pre-
walls in the Republican party. The
time and money expended in firing
the Grant boom, as we'll as the or
ganized resistance, have enlisted the
hearts of the leaders too deeply for
them to accept the situation with
feelings anything akin to satisfaction.
The surface may be undisturbed by
q ripple but the under-current is as
powerful as it was when it silently
but effectually washed the sands
from under the feet of the dark
horse of 1876. This will be the re-
suit now, if the Cincinnati Conven-
ton is controlled by wise counsels.
The machine politicians will have
nothing to expect from the election
of Mr.. Garfield; new operators will
organize rings of which they can
have no control, and their only SAL
walton appears to be in defeat of
their sworn enemies.
The prospect for the success of
the Democratic nominee, we sin
cerely believe, was never brighter
than it is at the present time.

Sitting Bulf's Band and the Govern

Sitting Buli's Band and the Govern
 ment.
 WASHINGTON, April 21.-Ths report made by General Miles on Sitting Bull and his band, in which it is recommended that the United States accept as prisoners of war such of said Indians as may wish to surrender themselves, has been forwarded to Generals Sheridan and Terry for their views on the subject. This action is merely in accordance with the usual custom prevailing in the army and is not intended to give the re- port any official indorsement The views of General Miles are not approved by the Administration and will Lot be sdopt- ed The position of this Government with regard to Sitting Bull and his Indians has been previously stated in these dispatches The position is one from which the Govern ment will not recede. It is in effect that the Canadian or British authorities having afford ed these Indians an asylum and protection on British soil, at time when said Indians were declared enemies of the United States are bound to see that they do not violate the neu- trality laws by again invading our soil; that all such Indians caught on this side of the line shall be treated as enemies, and that Great Britain is bound for all damage such Indians may do by raids or invasion of our soil, the same as if such raids or invasion were made by other citizens of Great Britain. These views have long sincs bsen communi- cated to the British authorities through their minister here. Of course we could net main tain this principle if we should decide to ac- cept even the surrender of one of Sitting Bulls band

 LONDON, April 2l.-Mr. Parneu has written letter in reply to the circular signed by Mir. William Shaw and others, converting meet ing of the Home Rule members of Parliament for the 27th instant, declining to attend, be- cause they (the Home Rulers) will be at the date proposed ignorant of the composition Of ths new government and it's programme re- lating to Ireland, and as a conference of the reformers has been convened for the 29th in- stant to formulate a demand for change in the land system, which will be one of the principal matters for action by Irishmen at the next session of Parliament, MT. Parnell thinks that the members of the Home Rule party generally would prefer that, before nesting they should have the advantage of the deliberation of this conference. MT. Par nell, presiding at recent meeting of the Land League, denied the statement that the Irish relief fund had bsap devoted to political purposes.
 Mir Charles H. Weldon, Home Rule mem Der, re-elected for county Kildare, replying to MT. Parnells letter, combats his objections to the holding of a conference on the 27th instant, and points out that, under the pres- idency of the late Dr. Isaac Butt, similar meeting was held after the general election in 1874 and before tho meeting of Parliament, and that it has since been the universal rule of the Irish Parliamentary party to meet in Dublin immediately before the opening of the session.
 The London correspondent of the Manches- ter Guardian says: 'sIt is reported that Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Lord Chief Baron of the Ex- ehequer is to be created peer, and that Sir John Holker, Attorney General, will succeed him as Chief Baron of the Exchequer. It is likely that after to-day's (Wednesday's) Cab met Council, or on Thursday morning, Lord BeaconsfeId will go to Windsor to tender his resignation, and the Queen will immediately send for the statesman she desires should be his successor.
