editorial duties than at present; and though
across the sea, he does not suffer any changes
to be made in the conduct OF the Herald with
out his express consent. He is In constant
communication with his subordinates by
cable, directing and admonishing them, as
occasion may require. He brooks no oppo-
sition to his will, and watches the course Of
his journal with an eagle eye. He wishes
no HORACE WHITE about, unless he Is ready

writer and too much OF doctrinaire for a

One OF Mr.. BENEFITS original theories OF

not gratifying to the writer's; but Mr.. BEN

No, we do not believe that our dashing
young contemporary proposes to surrender
his editorship OF the Herald to any other
hands, nor that we shall be compelled to bid
him even temporary farewell from jour
nalism. Mr. WHITE and Mr.. CowLEs have
not the money TO buy him out, and Mr..
BENNETT would laugh at the price 1t is
alleged they are TO pay him. He may feel
the need of European recreation, but his
hand is always on the ruddcr Of the Herald,

times the ship gets temporarily aground.

Democratic party.
We hope Mr.. BENNETT Is enjoying TO the
full the innumerable delights Of Paris. In
its libraries he may pass many fleeting
hours. In its art galleries he may gaze with
rapture on the masterpieces OF painting and
sculpture, and in its theatres he may see
such acting as is nowhere else to be seen in
the world. Young, rich, ambitious, enter

youth Of our day. Wetrust he is improving
his opportunities wisely, and gathering
stores of wisdom against the day of his

day be near at handl

The numerical strength of the Russian
forces now operating on the Danube and in
Armenia seems 10 bc toleraDly well known.
Other questions, however, regarding the
composition, equipment, and training Of
these troops the education OF officers, and
the individual worth Of the private soldier
have been to some extent overlooked; and it
may bc well to inquire how far the military
organization Of the empire has in these
respects changed for the better since the

bic than the reputed colossus whose feet Of
clay were broken by the allies twenty years
ago; yet it will be found that the difference
has been exaggerated. and that the Russian
army is still in n state Of transition.
There was some truth in a recent assertion
OF the GOlos newspaper, that what crushed
the Car in the Crimea was not the strength
OF the western powers, but the admnistra-
ton Of the Russian army. At that epoch
a state Of things existed similar TO that
which III 1870 had honeycombed the French
military system under Marshal LEBoEuF.

volved on corps commanders and Of course.

Both de EactO.

Gen. DIAz is de fdcfo President Of Mexico,
with about as much title to the office
as Mr.. HAYES has to that which he occupies
in Washington. They are both creations Of
fraud and force, and neither is now, any
more than he was at the time OF the clec-
ton, the choice Of the people.
DIAz has sent JOSE MARIA MATA to Wash
ington as his Minister, to supcrscdc Mr.. MA
RIscAL, who represented the LERDo Gov
eminent, and is now holding over A Ques-
ton is raised whether MATA shall be re-

Presidency. Considering the source Of this
objection, 1t Is rather cool. and must bc Il

HAYES
Putting aside the abstract right OF DIA2,
the practice Of the United States has always
been 10 recognize the existing Government
of country which exercises authority and
administers the laws, commonly known AS
the de fdcto Government. We have carried
that doctrine to the very verge Of danger,
for Gen. TAYLoR's Administration sent
DUDLEY MANN TO Hungary to wait for the
organization Of "a Government, with instruc-
tions to recognize it, and with the certainty
that the act would be regarded by Austria
as most unfricndly.
AS bargaining Is the order Of the day at
Washington. Mr.. EvARrs will probably try
to drive a trade with Sciior MATA, and keep
him hanging by the eyeids until terms can
be made. But he must not expect too much
success. The Mexicans are among the
adroitest OF diplomats, and have almost
uniformly worsted our self-assured Sccre-
tarics OF State and Ministers. MATA is not

The Cnse of MAYOR Prince.

AS Mayor OF Boston and as an individual
citizen, Mr.. F. o. PRINCE has the most per-
feet right to PROSTATE himself before the
Fraudulent President whenever he chooses.
But Mr.. PRINCE is also Secretary OF the
National Democratic Committee; and when
he performs acts Of submission 10 the great
Fraud first triumphant in American histo-
ry, he compromises the committee and the
party Of which he is II representative and an
organ.
Had Mr., PRINCE appreciated the propric-
ties Of his position he would have resigned
his place as an official leader Of the Democ-
racy before prostrating himself before
HAYES. A. he has not done this, it is essen
tial that he should be rcpudiatcd and turne1
