WHAT DOES IT MEAN Mr. Schuyler Col
fax has announced his purpose to retire from
public life upon the expiration of his present
term of Office. This is all CANNON, of course
out what does it mean? What kind of gam
mon is it exactly? Andrew johnson also an
nounced early in his term of office that he
would retire to the obscurity of Tennessee
when his time was out, and tried with all his
might not to keep his word. He put that
little point to windward to provide against any
disappointment in future aspirations. Is that
what Colfax means? Lincoln also made the
same announcement, apparently to have active
opponents count without him In their OPERA
tious. Is this the point with Colfax? He
certainly cannot stand for the Presidency for
the next term. Grant leaves no opportunity;
and Il may be that Colfax believes that four
years Of retirement would give him good
strategic position when the Presidency is dis
cussed in 1879

LOOKING AFTER SMALL THINas.-The
reported arrest Of the Princess Mathilde and the
detention Of her luggage are on q par with the
changing Of the names "a Of certain streets In
Paris-as, for instance, the conversion Of the
Avenue de l'Imperatrice to the Avenue Victor
Nolr, and the throwing out of the portraits of
the Emperor and the Empress from the win
dows of the Hotel de Vile. AL this sort Of
thing seems very mean. 1t is looking after the
smallest matters when the Germans are, as 1t
were, at the very gates of Paris, and when the
public mind should be engrossed by infinitely
more important considerations.

Recognition of tho French IycpubIic by
General Grant.

General Grant.
! President Grant sent an order from Long
Branch to the State Department in Washing
ton yesterday to recognize the new French re-
public. That tho order might be promptly
carried out he proceeded to Washington him
self in the evening. We may expect that our
Minister in Paris will, therefore, be instructed
TO recognize at once the republic which the
will of the French people has raised upon the
ruins of the Bonaparte dynasty. This action
of General Grant will be popular with all
classes. and only confirms the idea that he has
been watching the progress of events In
Europe with calmness and deliberation. The
recognition of the republican government In
France may give new complexion to the war
il it should be continued
In the present state of Europe the French
republic Is more than all else to Americans.
Our people gave their cheers to the Germans
in SO far as they were right-in so far as they
were striking against a tyranny. They ex-
tended an overdowing sympathy to the Ger
mans here in their rejoicings over the vic
tories of the armies Of the Fatherland,
because all felt that these victories of an
honest, earnest, liberty-loving people tended
to cast down throne that was founded in
oppression; to destroy government that had
repressed the liberty of Europe, retarded the
progress of all the peoples within the sphere
ofits influence and utterly demoralized France.
To throw down such throne was to propa-
gate American IDEAS Moreover, our people
had special quarrel with this last ruler of
France, and saw his trouble with a satisfaction
that remembered his Mexican enterprise-his
impudent attempt to take advantage of what
he supposed to be our rain. For all these
reasons the vast majority of Americans bur-
rahed with our German citizens over all the
victories of the German princes.
But Americans also have their natural ten
derness for France, and they distinguish
between France and the empire very clearly.
For the empire they had no good will; for
France herself above all for French republic,
they can have no sentiment but that Of
generous enthusiasm. This French republic
is before us. So far as the war against Louis
Napoleon went American sentiment and Ger
man were one. Beyond that they part COM
pany. We can have no sympathy with Ger
man monarchy warning against French
republic. Our German fellow citizens if they
were truly in heart and soul citizens of this
republic, would to-day feel themselves nearer
to that republic in Paris than to the semi-des-
potic Power that is in the field against it, and
to escape from which Power many of them
first came to this country.
The American people will certainly approve
the action of the President. The American
republic should have been the first to extend
a hand of friendly recognition to sister re-
public just claiming It's rights aud awaiting
the sympathy Of all nations friendly to liberty
and popular government.

WALL STREET-DOUBT AND DULNEss. The
Gold Room was comparatively dull yesterday
and theprice of the precious metal was steady
at ia 1l4s. The speculative feeling is in
allegiance until it is possible to learn something
of the probable destiny Of Europe after the
remarkable change in France. Hence In the
doubt of the future Wall street falls into its
old habit of doing nothing.

THE MORMON OUTRAGEs. We have re-
ferred before to the reported outrages which
the Mormons have recently been guilty Of
towards Genties and apostate Mormons. The
details are published this morning in another
column, and fully confirm the story as it first
came by telegraph. A conflict seems threat
ening between the United States and the Nor
mon authorities, and if it actually comes there
is no question as to the way 10 which it will
result. The leaders In the Church seem to
have lost all idea Of policy as well as of equity.
A war ls what their enemies in Congress most
wish and what they can least afford

OVATION TO THE REDs.-Victor Hugo,
Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin and Cerruschi, the
Italian banker. have returned to Paris. A
popular ovation was offered to Victor Hugo (;
but it is said both he and the other returned
radicals have intimated that for the present
they will abstain from active participation in
the movement inaugurated by the establish
ment of the new republic. This is certainly q
wise and commendable resolution, for per-
sonal, ambitions and partisan ideas should now
be siIenced in view Of the paramount duty Of
all Frenchmen to defend their native soil
against the invading Prussian hosts.

TIE HERALD CORPS OF EUROPEAN WAR
CORRESPONDENT.

We have special correspondents moving
with each division Of the opposing forces ol
France and Prussia, and news agencies in the
principal capitals-London, Paris, Berlin. Ma
drid, Vienna and Florence-so that nothing
of an important news character escapes our
vigilant representatives.
Our news agencies in the principal cities of
Europe, and our system of travelling corre-
spondents, have been long established, fact
the readers of the HERALD have no doubt long
since become familiar with, and as our letters
from all parts of the Eastern Hemisphere for
years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our comments upon
the war, or that our opinions upon the proba-
ble success of either belligerent In contem-
plated movements come by the cable. Our
only aim is to give to the public the fullest,
the most reliable, and the most authentic
record Of facts as they occur in the grand
operations of the contending armies.

Spain and Itaiy-The Opportunity of the
Republicans.
The complete collapse of the French empire,
contrary to all expectations, has opened up an
opportunity to the wandering republicans Of
Europe, who, strange to say, are all or almost
all southerners. We are not ignorant of the
fact that there are republicans in Germany
but we do the republicans of the North no
injustice when we say that the republicanism
of Europe is by very general consent asso-
ciated with regions south of the Rhine. We
do not despair of the North Germany must
begin to feel that royal agureheads are
unnecessary. A grand German confederation
on republican basis Is already more than
dream. And why should a. German republic
not embrace Denmark and Sweden and
Norwayp
At the same time it is not to be denied that
southern than northern. Italy and Spain
more than Germany caught the contagion
at the commencement of this century. But
for the first Bonaparte Italy and Spain as well
as France would have been and might have
remained republics. We all know how on
every occasion that France has given signs Of
republican life the neighboring peninsulas
have more or less heartily responded. The
strange thing Is, that while both Italy and
Spain have ever caught from France the re-
publican contagion, France has always killed
her own offspring. The year 1848 bade fair
to give us republics in Spain, In Italy, In
Portugal, in Germany. The advent Of Louis
Napoleon to power did moro than all other
causes combined to make the republican effort
of l848 failure.
Bonapartism is, for the present, dead.
France, for the present, is republican. If
France can make peace with King William
we know no reason why the French republic
should not be success. If the French repub-
lie makes at all fair show, why should not
Spain make an end Of Prim and all his miser-
able temporizingP And why should not Mazzini
and Garibaldi carry out their purpose in ItalyS
A French republic, Spanish republic, Por-
tuguese republic, an italian republic, do not
any longer seem impossibilities.
A universal republic, q genuine European
family, does not seem to us to be an imme-
diate possibility, but we cannot deny that the
events Of the hour are encouraging. 1t is
our confident belief that this war will open
the eyes of all peoples, and that mighty step
has been made towards ''the parliament Of
man, the federation of the world" We look
for republic In Italy. We look for repub-
lie In Spain. A good. beginning, and the
result is sure.

Why Docs tho Govcrnncut HesitatcV
This was question which people asked
yesterday concerning the recognition Of the
French republic. General Grant has an.
swered 1t by recognizing the provisional gov.
ernment of France officially and promptly last
evening. There never was any serious
oimcuity In the way of our government
al washington recognizing the French re-
puohc' or the provisional government which
just now represents the republic. When
Queen Isabella was driven from Spain.
short time ago, and provisional government
was formed in Madrid, our authorities at
Washington hastoned to recognize the new
Spanish government The right Of prim and
Serrano to constitute q new form of povarr-
ment was not disputed. If anybody had
said that this action on our part
was premature at that moment he would
have been considered rash. But our govern
ment admitted the change of power at once
from the Queen to the people. So also In
1S4S when the French republic of Lamartine,
Ledru RoIlin, Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc and
ODulon Barrot and the others who formed the
first provisional government, was proclaimed,
the United States eagerly recognized the new
democratic creation among the list of nations.
With these precedents before us why should
the government of the United States hesitate
to acknowledge tho existence of the republic
in France to-day, which the Corps Legislatif
has proclaimed in Paris, with the consent of
the people, and which has been accepted in all
the leading cities throughout France with per-
feet accord, which is substantial ratification
of the revolution?
Surely our government might be satisfied
with the result of a popular revolution, calmly
and seriously accomplished. without shedding
drop Of blood-without the necessity of a
political arrest-almost without the aid of
oliceman-under circumstances, too, of ex-
asperation with the Bonaparte dynasty and
the defeat of their arms, which might natu-
rally in1ame the excitable passions of pecu-
liarly effsrvescent people. In this light
General Grant has regarded the question, and
he has acted promptly and properly.
The New York herald., 1870-09-08

THE BRAwLERs AND MISCHIEF MAKERS. -
Garibaldi, Mazzini and all that crew who
for twenty years past have been trying to
establish republic in France, republic
In Italy, republic in Spain, a republic
everywhere that their noisy agitation could
reach, or their assassination plots could supply
a bombshell, must be utterly confounded by
the events Of the last few weeks. The King Of
Prussia has done more for republcansm in q
month than these spouters have done in twenty
years. Their game for the establishment of q
red republic, democratSque ct sociale is not
likely to win. The French people incline to
moderate form Of the republican article, which
they will accept soberly. There will be no
goddess of reason" no ''reign of terror" this
time, If we can judge from the indications in
Paris.
The New York herald., 1870-09-08

original cause OF war has disappeared with the
fall of the Emperor and that the establishment
of republic in France has changed the whole
aspect of the question. At first the
sympathies of the people Of the United
States were, it must be admitted, strongly
In favor of Germany and its uni1cation.
They saw that the war was undertaken by the
French Emperor most causelessly, with the
purpose of checking the progress of the German
States towards union in one government and
of seizing portions Of the German territory;
and therefore they hailed with delight the
news of German victories. But now the posi-
ton is changed. The French people,
resuming control of their own destinies,
disown the ambitious pretensions of their late
ruler, and offer to disband their armies and
to live henceforth in peace and good fellow
ship with their German neighbors. What
more ought the Germans to demand, except it
may be the dismantling of Strasbourg and
some others of the fortified places on their
frontier as material guarantee that they shall
not to subjected to another invasion from
France? The sympathies Of the people OF the
United States are now very decidedly with the
French people, not only because the latter
have been sufficiently punished and humbled
for the fault of their late ruler, but because
the American republic was aided In Ito own
early struggle by the government and people
of France. and because the French people
now place themselves upon the great principle

mill in the town of Eaton, last week, by
being struck on the forehead by bolt

wound is about three inches long and
the bones of the scull are driven in. Al
though the man had his senses fully
when we last heard from him, we doubt
his recovery to perfect health.
