view to make sudden and formidable raid on our northern settlements during the com ing summer. The statement that Sitting Bull has succeeded in forming an alliance with several branches of the Crows, while not con- frmed by information received at the War office, is not disputed. It is well known that ever since early last summer Sitting Bull has had his emissaries at work among the Indian tribes located near our northern frontier try ing to induce them to join him in 8 war against the whites. If he has at last sue ceeded the fact will soon be known to the troops stationed in that section, as they have scouts who are continually watching on both sides of the line. In this connection it may be stated that the British Government is very anxious to convince our Government that Sitting Bull and his band are not British subjects, and that the British Government should not be held responsible for any acts of violence the Indians may com init on American soil. This question in all it's bearings has been discussed at the Cabinet meetings during the past year without causing the slightest change in the opinion held by this Government which is exactly opposite to that held by Great Britain. For all this, however, there is no danger of any complica- t1ons growing out of this discussion, as it is being conducted in the most friendly spirit both sides. There is no doubt that the Can adian authorities will use every effort, to pre- vent Sitting Bull invading the territory of the United States.
 The Immediate Deficiency BflI-A Veto
 Generally Expected.
 WASHINGTON, April 27.-Mr. MacMahon, of the House Appropriation Committee, stated to-day that the Postoffice Appropriation bill would be the next one to be reported, but that it would not be brought in until next week and probably not until later. It seems to be the policy of the Appropriations Committee to leave the most perplexing bills, viz, the Legislative and Sundry Civil until the last. The conference committee on the Immediate Deficiency bill had meeting this evening but have not yet agreed on their report. The i'm pression has got abroad among both Demo crats and Republicans that the President will veto the bill on account of the clause relating to the election of marshals, and if he should do so it will be difficult to prevent a revival of the issues of the extra session. There are many of both parties, however, who doubt if there will be veto, but should there be one leading Democrats declare that they will resist to the bitter end the passage of any bill mak- ing an appropriation for marshals.
 The Solid South-Opinion of a SOutE-
 eKn Senator.
 WASHINGTON, April ZI.-Ihe Star this evening contains the following:
 4 prominent Southern Senator who is a warm friend and great admirsr of Senator Bayard and prsfers him above all others as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, said to Star reporter to-day that to a man who is posted about Southern politics this talk of Grant carrying some of the Southern States or even one of them is absurd. The Democratic candidate, whoever he may be, will carry all the Southern States, though Tilden is undoubtedly unpopular with them, and it would require vsry hard work to get out the vote. Even with him as candidate, Grant would not get any Southern Democratic support. 1 The only danger would be from the apathy and indifference Tildens candidacy would | create. Southern Democrats are as much | devoted to their political party and principles | as they ever were, and they believe we can | elect President if we nominate good man. The South will not attempt any sort of dicta | tion at Cincinnati, but it's solid front in my opinion will be against Tildsn's nomination, | because we are satisfied that he could not be | elected. The delegations will be divided be- | tween Bayard, Hancock, Thurman and Hen | dricks, but Bayard will have the most numer- l ous and earnest support. l
