4 1TUE CIIICAGC TRIBUNE: MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1878, to expect, and tho revolntionary programme of tho Porren plotters will have been in eoffect plainly annonnced. likoly that tho Senato will set a precedent, admitting the power of tho Ifons, or n Committea thereof, to require the attendanco of ono of itsa members, Thae forco of a subpoena can only bo carried out through power of arrost. But the Constitution says (Art. I, Bec. ©) that the Benators and Itepresontatives *‘shall in all cases, except treason, folony, and breach of the peace, Lo privileged from arrest during their nttond- anco at the session of their respectivo Houses, nud in going and roturning from the samo,” This has been held to cover not merely an actual presonce in tho 8cnate and House, nnd not merely.tho act of going to and from such Honso in Washington, but also tho journaying to the Capital from the Blate whero the Benator or Ropresentativo may live, That 1t is the sentiment of tho Senato that neither tho llouse nor ita Com- mitteo can enforco the nttendance of a Senn- tor, {a protty evidont from the aotion takenin tho caso of Bonator Fenry and the Secretary of tho Benate, The Sonato gave permission to attend, which was a notice that the con- sont of the Senato was necessary, that it was on act of courtesy, that a Committos of the othor House could not eonforce attendance, and that o Sonntor himself could not oboy n summons without the consent of the Sennto, It is vory onsy to sce how noy other rule thnn this would, on certain occasions, place ono Houso utterly at the mercy of tho othor. 1f partics woro so evenly divided in the Son- nte, for instance, that tho onforced absenco of threo or four members would throw the balanco of power into the hands of & minor- ity, then tho House, or a ITouso Committee, if such power were conceded, might compel by summons the nbeonce of a nmmber of Sonators at a critieal time, and thes control important legislation. Of courso thero is no such contingency now, but the principle in- volved ond tho dangers that might ensao will probably induce the Senate to refuso to establish o procedont which the concession of tho Porren Committeo’s power would in. volve. It is not nnlikely, then, that Mr, Mat. THEWS may have the right to rosist the sum. mons to apponr bLefore the Committee, and that ho may bo sustained in this position. At tho snme timo, thero can bo littlo doubt in anybody's mind that ho hns Acted very unwisaly in falling back upon hia privilega in this instance, Thors is no personal nor party odvantaga to be gained from a rofusal to put in an oppearanca boforo a committoo when his pame ks boon freoly used to throw the Administration and the Iiepublican party into disrepute. It is possiblo that ho has beon influenced by the knowledge that the Porrzn Committee in essontially o partisan tribunal, and by tho fear that ho would not bo treated fairly, At the samo timo, ho should not have hositated to appear, relying upon his own consciousness of right- doing, upon the fairmess of tho Ameri. can public, and upon the opportunity tho Sonnta Committen will give him to cor- reot any unfair dealings of the Porren Cow- mittee, It is ovident that Mr. Mirrarws has mnado a mistake now, as he did in cling- ing to ANpEnsoX nfter the Presidont, Sacro- tary Snenitay, and everybody alsehad turned their backs on him as a mon ntterly un- worthy of consideration. Wo still beliove that Bonator Marrnews' ervors come from the hond and not from the heart, It is his judgment and not his conscienco which isat fanlt. A man who could fall a viotim to so transparent o scoundrel as tho East Feliciann Aypenson may be counted upon to make a mistako whenevor thero isa favorable opportunity, It may bo that Senator Marrasws' advisers, if ho has any, will per- sunde him to avert the imponding conflict of authority between the Scnato and the Houso by a voluntary appearance bofore the Com. mittee, and this would certainly bo the hap- piost solution of tho dilomma, If not, then such a conflict must bo regarded simply in tho light of the law, and the Senate will not be opon to the chargo of shielding Sonator Marrngws if it shall determino not to recog- nizo & precedont contrary to law and danger- oua on nccount of possible rosulta in the future. SITTING-BULL'S NEW PROGRAMME, Tho interviow botweon our correspondent at Dismorck and Father Gexiv, tho Sloux misslonary, which wo priut in to-day's Tain- UNE, contains the only relinblo news that has boen had from Srrrrva-Bury for a long time, and announcos some events of tho utmost importance concerning the Indian quostion in the Far North, Fathor Geviy hag beon o missionary omong tho Bioux sinco 1867, and a personal friend of SrrTivo.-BuLL’s for ten years, and his statoments muy be regarded as authontic, ' Thoy are not the repotitions of rumors, but tho facts nl.de- rived from SirTiNe-BoLy himself, Tho substance of theso statemonts {3 to the offect that SrrrNa-Bony and his war- tiors, and numerous other Indinus over whom he has control, aro discontented with their presont situation fu tho Dritish do- minlons, first, because they arc not well treated, and, socond, bocause of tho scarcity of buffalo and other game upon which they subsist, It was on thiz account that thoy raidod down into tho Milk-River country last winteg, at which timo they camo almost down to Yort Yeck. Brrrive-Bus looks forward to tho timo when ho must move south of tho British lino or starve, Ho ex. pects to have trouble with the Britlsh forces, nud to overpower them, and then Is deter- mined to go south to tho buffalo country ond stay thero until our own forces moet him and domand a surronder or fight, In anticipation of this ,chavgs, ho has called a councl of all the In. disng on the Onnadlan side, composed of Sloux, Plegans, Assiniboines, Crees, Dig Dears, sud Clippowss, numbering 06,469 lodges, or abont 28,000 warrlors, of whom 7,000 aro hostilus, to meet on the Littlo Sas. katchewan Rivor about 100 wmilos: from its mouth, Their immediate object is to de- maud food, and if it is not forthcoming thoy will attack Maj, Waran and his mounted police, and, after baving overcome themn,will thou move to the south, whero thoy must of uecessity encounter our own forcos sooner orlater, Iu his interviows with Father Geniw, Burriva-Bows stated his wanta very cxplicitly, e dusired to ruturn to Lis own country, snd would not fight nuless ho wers compelled. Mo cared nothing for the min. eral woalth of tho country, but would bo willing to stay north of the Missouri and roam about the Milk-River country, which includes a long, narvow strip adjacent to tho Dritish frontier in Northern Dakota and Montans, and is full' of buffalo and other gamo. e was also willing to retura in per- son to the United Btatus and hold a confere ence with the proper nuthoritics ot Chicago or Washington if guarantoes were given Lim that ho would not bo hanged or placed in any porsonal dangor. To such o confereuco or such guarantces thero can bo no possible objection, and wo hope tho opportunity way bo given him to mcet the big chicfs and havo a talk, If such a council shonld be held, ho ahould be per- | Ring'’ victims, and nbolished the whola emptorily informed that he can como back | munlcipal system, sotting up in its to this country only upon oertain condi. | stead n Government of thros Commission- tions, and those are that he shail givo up | ers, with subordinate Boards respousible to his guns and ponles, go upon a reservation, | thom.

The district is composed of Adams, Brown, Cal- houn, Greeno, Jorsey, and Pike Counties, and tho nomination is equivalent to an elec- tion by something like 8,000 majority. Gen.

According to present developmonts, thera weresomoballot-box frauds on both sides. In ono. county thore is somo proof that a rasenlly Republican put in o cerlain number of “littlo jokers,” as he designated fraudu. Ient ballots, and in anothor county thero is somo proof thatthe Domoorats put ina cer- tain number of frandulent votes for ** TrLpeN naud Hexprics," which had beon included in tho regular votes for tho Electors. What good purposo is to bo served Ly all this? ‘Ihere is probably not a Btate in the Union shora a thorough ascertainmont of all the facts would not develop ccrtain inatances of fraudon both sides. But would this invalidato tho final roturna? Would this be sufficient cause for setting aside Harzs' title? Would this bo a proper provocation for tho im- poachmaont of the Administration or any high officials connocted with §t? ‘The testimony of Siuuer B. MoLiv, which was to be so startling, proves to be n very mattor-of-fnct statomant that roflects no discredit upon the Republican party or tho guntlomen who visited Florida during the process of counting tho voto. Every can- vass that was mado resulted in giving Haves smafority., The final canvass, whioh gave him tho smalleat majority of all, admitted oll the Democratio claima except those which wore o irregular in return that they could not be counted with any show of fairnoss. A samplo of this was found in seventy.four votea for *‘T'mpeN and Hxxpnicxs, "—not for the Electors; thero was roason to believe that thoso ballots bad beon stuffed into the box, but, oven if they had not boon, thera was no authority for counting any such diroct votes for tho candidates and not the Elcctors. Whora there wera two or moro sots of returns, McLix tostifics that the one was taken which Lad been regularly made and signed, in proeferonce to the irregular ones. Wo do not know how olso tho State Board could have proceeded fairly or in nc- cordance with law, The fact is, that the Florida offshoot of Porrzz's *still.hunt” for frauds I wasting its timo in very insig. nifieant quibbling. The only important devolopment in Mc- Lan's toatimony is that concorniug Ministor Norzs, who was ono of tho Visiting Commit.- tee. It waa very confidently proclaimed by tho Democrats that their Florida evidenco would impench this gontleman’s character and provo him to be a party to the alleged frauds, if any should bo found. DBut MoLiy tostifies that ho never saw Gen. Norzs but onco; that this was aftor the count had boen made; that Nores simply thanked him for doing his duty, but mado him no promiscs; that o hud only heard that Noxxs had saf *30 nnd 60 "; and, finally, ‘*80 and so" was wlint any man might Lave sald very properly. MoLns lind written to Norzs about an ap- pointmont, but had lost the lettor. Fortu. uatoly, that letter, or o copy of it, was produced, which MoLix virtaally ac- knowledged. It conaisted of an application for oftice, it ia trno, but tho application cx. preusly stated that MoLin did nol baso his claims *on account of tho recent canvass,” in which he sald **he Liad only performed Lis duty consciontionsly”; tho offico was asked on tho ground that MoLix's henlth would not parmit him to live in auy other climato, and that the Democrats would try to prevent s carning o living in that Btate. Qon. Noxzs roplied that tho tore and tomper of tho lotter were so good that ho did not hesi. tats to forward tho application to tho Presi- dont, Thus, from McLix's own testimony and letters, Gen.
