Evidently the Russians are making regu-
lar progress in Armenia. One of the fea-
lures Of the campaign in those mountain
lands is the Daily Telegraph reports which
persistently ..darken counsel with knowl-
edge" No sooner is it certain that the Rus
slams have captured some place than we get
from London a transcript Of the Daily 7ele-
graph dispatches showing that the Russians
have been shockingly beaten at that par
ticular point. This is due in some cases,
perhaps, TO the fact that that journals de-
spatches started before those that give the
result of the same operations but it is due
oftener to the fact that the correspondent,
as he is within the Turkish lines,
is imposed upon by Turkish reports
and dare not forward other state
ments than such as he is informed by
authority are ''true"--as that word is Off
cally understood. Roumania, it will be seen,
has declared her independence, and casts her
fate calamity into the scale against the Otto
man enemy. 1t has been darkly limited
hitherto that an event OF this nature might
lead to complications with Austria; but it

challenged by the progress of events, will
prove herself ready to seize any pretext to
maintain that attitude of mastery inactivity
that is SO satisfactory to her purse and SO
Characteristic Of the timidity OF a nation all
whose recent wars have been great blunders.
The loss Of a bridge on the Roumanian
Railway will delay slightly the movement of
the Russians into Western Wallachia, but
this cannot greatly influence their strategic
combinations in that direction.

The sait Lake Grand Jury.

The United States Grand Jury which as
sembled at Salt Lake City yesterday is an
exceptional body. 1t is composed only
in part of Mormons the majority Of its
members being persons not of that religious
persuasion. The federal District Attorney
will bring before it considerable number
of witnesses to testify concerning the
Mountain Meadows massacre and other
Utah murders, and the reports we have
published show that the officers of justice
believe they will be able to produce such
evidence as will lead the Grand Jury to find
indictments against several prominent
Mormons
Our Salt Lake correspondent sends us m
important list, now for the first time made
public OF Mormons charged by Lee with
completely in the massacre of the Arkansas
emigrants The list is taken from paper
in Lees own handwriting and was written
out by him in his last days. OF The forty-six
names in the list thirteen are marked
s'dead" of the remainder some, perhaps the
most, are fugitives. Our correspondent also
gives list Of the children who were saved
and suggests that the publication OF their
names may bring some Of them forward as
witnesses. But it is evident that the assas-
sins took care to save only the very young
children

The Border Trou bies.

This Mexican business grows interesting.
Our New Orleans correspondent reports
that agents of ex-President Lerdo are re-
cruiting there, aud have fixed upon San
Antonio as q rendezvous. Our Chicago COR
respondent reports that General Ord, who
commands on the Texas border, is in con-
sultation with Sheridan, and wishes per-
mission to chase Mexican outlaws across
the border and deal with them ms the
Sioux are treated in the North by which
he does not mean that when caught they
shall be put on reservation, clothed, ted
and fattened for new expeditions-but the
contrary. General Ord said 10 our CORE
spondent that it was necessary to deal with
these rnarauders directly, and that we might
as we'll appeal to Central African po,en-
tate to protect Stanley us to Diaz in the
centre of Mexico to restrain his border
robbers
He is auite right about this and if
Mexican army is to be concentrated Mt San
Antonio. in General Ord's rear, he ought to
have liberty at least to drive them over
the border into the country they are hired
20 reconauer. President Diaz ought to know
that a good deal of American capital has
within five or six years been invested in
silver and other mines in the Northern
Mexican States. The owners OF these
mines have the tantalizing belief that they
could make handsome profits If the coun-
try were not SO lawless 1t would be. q
stroke of genius in Diaz If he should &C
cept m assurance from President Hayes
that no annexation projects would be IN
yored or permitted, and should then say to
the American mine owners, Come over
and work your mines, and BRING
with YOU men enough to protect

d.yidual Southern men, SO long as they are
persons of character and influence, the
President may appoint to the Southern
federal Offices. 1t is not likely that under
President Hayes federal ofice-holders will
be allowed to take such truculent and
mischevous part in politics as under the
last administration but it is probably
true that the wings in the South, rather
than the democrats, will be drawn to the
republican side by the republican pol
icy and when the white vote begins to
divide. as it will, on policy and principle,
the President can, without improper inter-
ference, help the new formation of parties
by his federal appointments. He can do
this the better because, as he said the other
day to friend, he ''has no pet personal
plans or projects Of his own to advance = he
will not use the federal patronage to secure
his own reelection or the nomination of
favorite he does not seek to create Hayes
party, and will not be tempted, therefore,
TO make appointments to serve personal
ends, or for any consideration other than
the public good. His selection OF South
ern men for Southern offices" viii! in that
case help to break up the present and mis-
chievous party lines in the Southern States.

But the foreign trade stands on different
footing. It is now chiefly conducted by
foreign built and foreign owned ships, and
we should lose great deal less If 1t went III
ships of American ownership, though built
abroad. We should be quite content to have
free trade in ships limited to steamships Of
say eight hundred or a thousand tons
burden, at least until the value Of that
experiment had been tested. II, mean
while, it should be found that we can build
such ships cheaper than we can buy them,
the self-interest of owners may be relied
upon to prevent their paying more for such
property than it is worth. They will, OF
course, buy in the cheapest market, whether
it be the home market or the foreign, and
from the moment that American ships can
be had at less cost no foreign ship will be
purchased.

Egypt's relation to the Ottoman Empire,
and the interest that the commercial nations
have in Egypt's exemption from certain Of
the possibilities OF war, make her position
one Of peculiar concern at the present time,
both in the capitals where the word Egypt
means the Suez Canal as well as in those
where it more strictly suggests defaulting
payments on Egyptian bonds. With re-
gard to both these aspects OF Egypt's posi-
ton the interview with the Khedive that
is reported in our cable dispatches will
be found instructive and in some de-
gree reassuring. His Highness, it will be
seen, declares to HERALD correspondent
that his obligation to the Sultan will be dis
charged without any infringement Of the
rights Of the holders of Egyptian securities.
SO much the better for the holders of his
bonds, no doubt but rs the Khedive has
division Of his troops in the Sultan's army.
and as his son is there commanding them,
he is, in fact, party to the war, and war is
commonly not mere one-sided game. He
is exposed, therefore, to the likelihood of
such recognitions Of his relation to the strug-
is this likelihood, of course that accounts
for the array Of British naval force in Egyp-
tim waters that is chronicled in our de-
spatch. Is that array anything more than .
British menace--a mere "bluff" the pre-
tence on the part Of John Bull that
he would do something desperate in
case Russia should attempt to punish
the Khedive for sending troops to make war
against her armies There cannot be
doubt that, under any possible construction
of international law as to the rights of bell
ligerents, Russia is fully justified in strik-
ing at the Power that strikes at her; and if
the presence OF the British fleet was in
tended to intimate that England would pre-
vent the exercise Of such right, then the
case merely affords new indication ofhow
little England, with all her pirate about hon.
esty and virtue, cares for any right of any
Power by comparison with her precious
pocket.

Some whimsical discussions have been
raised respecting the etiquette which may
be observed toward General Grant during
his visit in Europe. General Grant is
mere private citizen of the United States
an unofficial person travelling for amuse-
ment and recreation. He has no title to
any other recognition than is accorded to
an American gentleman. He will receive
many social, but no official attentions.
Eminent official people will, no doubt,
make tender of pleasant courtesies but
only such courtesies as might be
offered to any foreigner of distinction.
Ex-President Van Buren, made o visit
to Europe in 1853 and ex-President Fill
more in 1855, and we're treated merely as
private gentlemen of social eminence in
their own country. They received a less
marked and elusive hospitality than had
been bestowed on Mr.. Webster during his
visit to England in 1889, who was courted
by the nobility on account Of his great rep
utation for intellectual gifts. General Grant
will probably receive more attention than
was bestowed on Mr.. Van Buren, or Mr.. Fill

made him the most illustrious OF our living
citizens. His social success abroad will also
be favored by the fact that he makes the visit
so soon after his retirement from Office. He
did not wait, like Nh. Van Buren, and Mr..
Fillmore, until he had settled into the OBJ
security Of ordinary private life. The Ameri-
can Ministers in the chief European capitals
are men whom he appointed, and they will
be forward to exert their social influence to
secure him gratifying reception. But the
attentions certain to be given him will be
only tributes to his character as q man and
his eminence us citizen, and will not have
the slightest tinge OF official significance.

yourselves, not only against Indians but
against the predatory Mexican politicians.
Only remuneration, no politics but get ont
all the silver you can" Such a policy on
his part would go far to settle the Mexican
troubles and disarm the flibusters As for
the border robbers, we do not believe the
Mexican government, if it is wise, would
find fault if General Ord followed them into
Mexico and exterminated them. Certainly
the honest people in Northern Mexico
would think Ord their benefactor; for these
wretches, with even-handed injustice, rob
both sides
