An Embassy from Sitting Bull.

Gen. Terry has received information from
Major Brotherton at Fort Ruford that a
nephew Of Sitting Bull, with two Others of
the band, accompanied by Capt. Mcdonald of
the Northwestern police, reached Camp Poplar
River on the 10th inst. en- route to Fort Bu-
ford to arrange for the surrender of Sitting
Bull. Capt. Crozier, of the Northwestern
police, writes to Capt. Read at Camp Poplar
River that he is delighted to inform him that
Sitting Bull has concluded to surrender, and
if the party reports favorably on the treatment
of the prisoners already surrendered and at
Fort Buford, there seems little doubt he will
do so.

It is not probable that Mr.. Lincoln will make
any effort to secure position in the Cabinet,
and it may be that he does not desire to enter
public life under any conditions, but the Ma
tionalism Of his name and the respect he has
commanded in his professional and social
relations in this city during many years give
4 point to the compliment that is conveyed

OF Is cents for twenty words. In the mean
time, the Western Union may manage its
business as it plcases, but it will not be able
either to buy out the Government service or
to sell out to the Government -;
This is obviously the true solution OF the
telegraph problem which has been sprung
upon the public by the recent combination.
The monopolists think they have twist
upon the public and the Government in the
possession Of certain essential patents which
they control. They seem to forget, however,
that Congress makes and unmakes the patent
laws OF the country, and that the very same
bill which shall require the addition OF the
telegraph service to the postal system may
and will provide that the Government shall
be entitled to the use Of all existing and fut-
ure telegraph patents by the payment OF a
reasonable compensation for the use thereof.
Thus the G overnment can join the telegraph
and mail service together without hindrance
or embarrassment from the Western Union
Company, at comparatively small outlay, and
to the relief of grateful public from i'm
pending oppression.

RED1sTRICTING THE CITY.

One of the most important duties OF the
LEGISLATURE now in session will be the re-
districting of the City Of Chicago for State
and municipal purposes. The provisions OF
the Incorporation act relating to this subject
are as follows:
ART. Ill, Sec. 2, last clause. In cities pf over
100 600 ini1ab itants there shall be elected thirty
six Aldermen, and no more.
ART. ~, Sec. !. The City Council may; from
many wards us the total number Of Aldermen to
which the city Is entitled: and one Alderman
shall annually be elected In and for each ward
to hold his office for two years, and until his sue"
ccssor is elected and qualified. lnthe formation
Of wards the population Of each SHAH be as
nearly equal and the wafa snaa ~ oi ~ con4paeN
In accordance with this act the city now
has eighteen wards and thirty-six Aldermen.
But it will be impossible to retain this num-
ber under this new appoltionment- The
Senatorial ratio will be about 00,000. If the
present law should be continued, each ward,
under the new apportionment, would have
population OF 10000 to 1000. Any two wards
woul i not have sufficient population for one
Senatorial district, while any three wards
would have considerable excess over the
ratio. The plan which commends itself to
v
Is that the number Of wards should be i'll
creased to twenty-four, each Senatorial dis
trfct to be composed Of three wards. as to
the wisdom of this change there is no seri-
Gus difference Of opinion, so far as we are in-
formed, in any quarter.
The number Of wards having been agreed
upon, the real question at issue will at once
arise. It is whether the apportionment shall
be made solely on the basis of population, or
whether citizenship and voting force shall be
taken into the account Eighty-two thous
sand votes were cast in Chicago at the last
election. The average ratio of voters to pop
ulation in the rural districts, where the pro-
portion Of unnaturalized foreigners is very
small, is about to 42s. On that basis the
whole vote of Chicago, if all persons other
wise qualified had been naturaiized, would
have been 1OG, 600 to los, 600. The alien or
unnaturalized males Of voting age therefore
number 2:,0 600 to 5000, who, With their wonl-
en- and children. constitute, perhaps, 10000
of the whole population. Now it is evident
that, if the city should be subdivided into
wards under the last provision above noted,
and the population, Of the wards be made as
nearly equal as possible, the number Of citi-
zers, or the voting force Of each ward, would
be very unequal. Tho following table, pre-
pared and printed by THE TRIBUNE inlmedi-
atcly after the late election, but without ref
erence to this subject, shows how unequal the
voting powers of the various wards are in
proportion to population:
