HENRI RoCHEFoRTs SENTENCE CE-From q
cable despatch, which we publish this morning,
it will be learned that the editor of the Mar
seillaSse has been tried, convicted and SEN
fenced. The sentence is not too severe,
although it implies six months Imprisonment
and fine Of three thousand francs. Six
months is long time to be shut out from the
active world. In the course Of that time NJ
Rochefort will be forgotten almost as Deputy,
and it will not be wonderful If the Marseilldise
is no more. The Creuzot riots are put down.
NJ. Rochefort is tried and sentenced. Paris is
tranquil. The next grand sensation will be
the trial of Prince Pierre. Like the trial of
Rochefort, this will come and go, leaving the
general impression that the reality was not
equal to the expectation.

rbe prormop women In Council.

In another place In this days HERALD will
bs found long but most readable and instruc-
tive article on the present state OF things In
Utah. Cullom's BILL now before Congress,
seems to have frightened the Saints, male and
female, out of their propriety. The letter Is
chiefly occupied with report Of q mass meet
ing Of the women Of Salt Lake City. The
meeting. was held in the old Tabernacle. 1t
was, perhaps, one Of the grandest female
assemblages in all history. The audience was
non-masculine, and the speakers one and all
were female. We refer our readers to the
speeches and to the resolutions; and we ven
ture to say that, whatever may be the individ-
ual readers opinion of the merits or demerits
Of Mormon institutions, it will not be denied
that Mormon women have both brains and
tongues. Some of the speeches give evil
dence that in general knowledge, in logic
and in rhetoric the so-called degraded
ladies of MOrmondom are quite equal
to the women's rights women of the
East. In these days, when women threaten
to become tyrants. 1t is refreshing to read such
cuTuCot pAoauAubb Ill iuVOT VI tAo IAkHtS Va uAOh'
After reading this report we have come to the
conclusion that there is Esprit in Salt Lake
valley which no legislation can crush. It may
be necessary for the Mormons to fight. They
will fight If they are forced to it. 1t may DO
necessary for them to emigrate. They will
emigrate II they are forced to it. 1t may be
necessary for them to leave this country and
even this Continent. But after they have
fought and after they have emigrated and
after they have left this Continent they will
live and they may prosper. AS they survived
the first exodus the presumption is they will
survive second. Whether we admire or
whether we pity or whether We condemn, it
must now be admitted that the inevitable con-
fct is at hand. The one twin relic is gone;
the other must follow.

Princs Arthur at Dtbiematic
Etiquette.

Prince Arthur at washingtea- Dtbiematic
Etiquette.
The red tape gentlemen OF the diplomatic
corps at Washington are in great furry abont
the question Of precedence at the dinner parties
to be given by the British Minister in honor
of Prince Arthur, who arrived In Washington
last night. Mr. Thornton appears to have
acted independently in the matter and without
regard to the usual rule Of giving precedence
to the oldest foreign Ministers in Washington.
This is all right. The British Minister is at
liberty to issue invitations as he may please to
his own private table. But amid all this furry
we should like to know where the colored gen.
tleman from Hayti is to come In. Another
matter relative to the entertainment Of the
Prince is creating good deal of conversation
and speculation. 1t appears the President has
declined the invitation to dine at Mr.. Thorn
tons with the Prince on Monday evening Of
course it was declined in the polite form
OF ''official engagements" precluding the Presi-
dents attendance. But this does not exactly
satisfy the diplomatic gossips. We rather
think the President concluded that 1t would be
proper for the Prince to dine with him at the
White House first, and that Mr.. Thornton over
looked this point Of etiquette or propriety.
Simple and plain as we are and as our highest
officials are, agreeably to our republican insti-
tutions, the President of the United States is
the equal of Queen Victoria or any other mon
arch or ruler, For he represents the nation.
Should any foreign prince 60 to London with
view of paying respect to the Queen her
Majesty would hardly go to dine with him at
the house of his Minister before entertaining
him herself, if at,all. General Grant is not
apt to be over ceremonious as regards himself
personally; but he knows what is due to him
as the President Of this great republic. This,
we suppose, is the secret Of the President hav
ing s'official engagements" on Monday evening.

Sir Samuel Bakers Nile Exploration

Advices received per ocean cable from Lon
don have it that Sir Samuel Baker and his
exploring party had been heard from. On the
lst of January, the date of the latest news,
they were at the head waters Of the Nile and
all well. OF Sir Samuel and his expedition
we entertain the very highest hopes. OF all
recent African explorers, with the single
exception, perhaps. of Livingstone, and that
barely, he is the greatest. But for Living
stone we should never have had Baker yet,
while we wait for the return of Livingstone
and the result of his final explorations, we
must admit that Baker has solved the great
problem of all the past-has traced to its
source the father of rivers, the mighty and
generous Nile. Baker is at the head of
numerous and well provided exploring party;
he is armed with all the authority of
military chiet his object is to explore and
conquer and then annex to Egypt those glori-
GUS highlands that are watered by the tributa-
ries of the Nile. 1t will not be wonderful if
Baker and Livingstone meet in that ancient
but still virgin land, although the probability
OF their meeting is of late somewhat dimin-
ished. At recent meeting Of the Royal
Geographical Society, Sir Roderick Murchison,.
whose knowledge of African geography is
something marvellous, stated that the presump-
ton now was that Livingstone had failed to
trace the Nile to higher source than had
been accomplished by Baker, and that in all
probability he was now far on his way on the
line of the Congo towards the Atlantic coast.
In that case the two great travellers will not
meet on African soil. We are glad to believe
that Livingstone is well and that Baker has
once more been so far successful. Let us
hope that final victory will reward the labors
and sacrifices Of the two greatest Of modern
travellers, that they may live long to wear their
laurels, and that as the result Of what they
have done tho area of civilization may be
widened and our stores Of knowledge in
creased.

LAW AND ARMS IN GEORGIA. General
Terry's argument, which he forwards to Presi-
dent Grant, that he, as military commander,
has power to unseat members of the Georgia
Legislature who are disqualified by the four
teenth amendment, on the ground that they
rank as other disqualified persons-idiots and
women, for instance-is very good legal
point, but it is useless argument. As mill
tary commander, having absolute control, he
has possibly greater powers than that. Presi-
dent Grant seems to think so, at least, and 1t
is understood he will instruct General Terry to
that effect.

George ID. Prentice.

The telegraph informs us Of the death of MIR.
George d. Prentice, who in himself repre-
sented the leading characteristics Of the style
of personal journalism peculiar to the West.
He at one time exercised strong influence over
the people of that section, and managed their
politics to sut.his own views. At the COM
mencement of the war he, with the aid of
Crittenden, Rousseau and other statesmen
Of Kentucky, possibly saved that State
to the Union. But in later years his in
fuence waned and his voice became of
little account in the councils Of the State.
His style Of editing was peculiarly terse and
sharp. Paragraphs were his especial forte,
and they were always witty, generally pointed,
and often obscene. His invectives were mer-
ciIess and his satire was bitter. He spared
no one and had no consideration for age, sex,
color, race or kin. He would violate the
dearest condolences for paltry joke and as
sail the closest family ties for an invective.
On the other hand, he was genial and earnest
in his laudations, warm and sincere in his
friendships and homes. and clear in his convic
tions AS politician he has declined the
highest honor that the State could give him;
as a patriot he warmly and zealously sup
ported the cause of the Union, and as states
man he cordially welcomed back the returning
States. His faults were fully atoned by his
sterling Unionism and the evil fortune Of his
closing days.

Financial Condition Of Russia-Its Loan o.
the Money Market.

the money Nlnrkcts
A telegram from London informs us that the
Introduction of the Russian loan in that city
had caused depression in the money market.
This loan, it appears, amounts to about fifty
five millions Of dollars in gold, and is intAnded
for the completion of the Nicolai Railway con-
tract. This seems comparatively small sum
for such vast empire as Russia to raise. We
have individuals and private corporations in
this country who could get such q loan on any
great public work, and as to the government
it could. raise hundreds of millions if needed,
Notwithstanding our large debt. How is it,
then, that the great Russian empire, with
seventy millions Of population, finds it diff
cult to effect loan Of fifty-fve millions of dol
lars, or that the introduction of it on the market
caused depression In Russian securities
The credit of Russia used to be better. There
appear to be several causes for the decline
of Russian credit. First, the enormous military
and naval establishments ofthe empire consume
q large portion of its resources. The cost of.
the War Department alone is over hundred
millions of dollars year. The great and
costly public works, particularly railroads,
have required vast sums. Then, the Russian
government has been borrowing money every
year, at the rate Of thrty-fivs to forty millions
of dollars on an average, for some years past,
to make up deficiencies. Of course these con-
stantly recurring financial expedients shake
the confidence Of capitalists and depress the
credit of Russia. No doubt the empire has
vast internal and natural resources, but many
ofthem are undeveloped, and they cannot sup
ply the extraordinary expenditures. If Russia
would improve her credit she must reduce her
enormous military establishment, emerge from
her comparative isolation and enlarge her
foreign trade. But in order to do this she
must march with the spirit of the age, adopt
free institutions and, by doing 80, increase the
ambition, activity and industry of her people.
A free people are the most productive in the
world, and generally the productiveness and
wealth of nation grow in proportion to the
liberty which people enjoy. The United
States present a remarkable example in this
respect. England affords another example.
The Russian government would do well to
ponder over this fact and adapt its institutions
to the liberal ideas and progress of the age.

SToCK In THE FEEJER ISLANDS LOOKING
UP.-The news from the Feejee Islands is
interesting. English settlers from Australia
are focking into the country with the intention
of engaging in the raising Of sea island cotton.
Within the past few years the number of set
tiers has vastly increased. A petition has
been numerously signed by the islanders and
forwarded to Washington praying the United
States to establish protectorate over the
island. Here's another fine chance for the
American government. How Seward would
rejoice at such q prospect. BY the bye,
five mistake not we have small account
with these Feejeeans, and possibly King
Thackamoon desires to settle our claims by
giving us share of his dominions. In this he
sets an example to England in the way that
that island might settle the AlabaWa claims.
If we go on in these real estate speculations it
may yet be the proud boast of the American
that the sun never sets upon the dominions Of
the republic Of the United States.

ton that those brutal fellows who must be

Cardinal AntonelIi ON Church and State.
We have had several interesting items of
news from Rome regarding the Council. The
Freemasons Of Germany have openly objected
to the tendency manifested by the Council in
the matter of the Syllabus. In this we dis
cover no cause for wonder. The only thing in
the affair worth noticing is the fact that Free
masons, men notoriously ''excommunicate,"
should give themselves any concern about the
Council now held at Rome. It is far more
serious matter to learn tina. Cardinal Antonelli,
who has been the Pope's righthand man and
who has stood by the temporal power during
all these years of trouble, has openly declared
that the Pope will never hesitate to maintain
the rights of the Church as equal to those Of
the State. What provoked this remark we do
not know. 1t shows us that Cardinal Antonelli
has not much changed, and it leaves us at lib
erty to infer that on this great question there
may be some serious trouble before the Council
is ended. Antonelli was never in favor of this
Council-he apprehended no good-but now
that the Council is fact for good or for evil
he is not the man to allow himself to be sold.
He does not care much for infallibility, but
he cares o great deal about the time-honored
though now dying principle that the Church is
greater than the State, the Pope mightier than
kings.
