some Excitement Among Among the GentiIes nt


The Corinne (Utah) Reporter of January 90
says:-


in regard to the hostile attitude of our Mormon
brethren on every side. Some said they were
confident of an early attack being made upon
city If the Cullom bill passes, in which case,
of course, 1t would be raZed to the ground by
the enraged polygamists without warning or
without mercy. This paper has frequently made
mention of the abject helplesness of the Gentle
citizens of this Territory, ia case anything was
done by the Government to offend our fanatic
neghbors, who are already frenZied to despera-
tion at the first mention of interfering with their
inhuman mode of life. Should the Cullom bill
pass of which there is but little doubt, the most
inhuman outrages by those whose peculiar notions
and practices are interfered with may not be un-
locked for, for they will certainly come. While
we would avoid creating any undue alarm which
must necessarily retard the best interests of
our Territory we cannot sit idly by and
console ourselves upon such promises as we'll
retained attorney made to HIS client When the
client, with tears in his eyes, approached his
paid savior and warned him of the extra exer-
tions his enemies were making to hang him. the
bland attorney, already we'll paid and free frcm
harm himself, says;--"Well you just let them
hang you if they want to. I'll make 'em sweat
for il If they do" Now this is Just what we
don't want. We pay the Government in loyalty
and taxes for the protection we ask, and we
don't want to walt till after death to have our
favors reclprOcated. There is danger of bar
barous attack here any day, and it is quite as
true there is no protection here for those not of
the Mormon faith VIII the Government take
the hint? Since writing the above we are ad-
vised of an enthusiastic meeting being held
down town, at which a military organization is
being perfected for the defense of the city,
should the necessity arise. Late news from the
adjacent Mormon settlements have evidently
aroused the citizens to a realizing sense of the
situation which calls for action. The Govern
ment will be pettioned for protection.

During the few moments that Prince Arthur
was present at Mrs. Secretary Fishs reception
on Friday evening, at Washington, and when
the popular curiosity was most earnest in efforts
to secure sight of and an introduction to his
Royal Highness. lady dressed in black, and
evidently from the remote West, was presented
to him by well-known Illinois M. @. Whether
1t was that the conversation took an unexpected
turn, or that the republicanism of the lady was
rather radically expressed it Is hard to say, but
an instant and general sensation was the result,

When Bismarck spoke these words all Europe was
in deep peace, and no one could have foreseen the
thorough thrashing which the Germans would give
the French - -


''Thesc diplomatists at small courts Bismarck
continues. taking up another subject, "are an un-
mitjgated nuisance; shallow, lazy fellows who do
not see and observe public AFFAIRS but pick up court
gossip from the chambermads or ladies-in-waiting.
What can you do with these good-for-nothing cos
mopolitan loiterers7 cannot act as should like
to, but since have been at the head OF the foreign
department have at least cut down the list of the
fatherandless exceencies TO one-half Of their ORR
ginal number" In this way he went on for an hour
with scarcely an interruption.


The popularity, however which he has won by two
successful wars, will, apprehend, wither in the
time OF peace. Bismarck has neither interest for
nor understanding OF civil freedom, sef-govern-
ment, and constitutional liberty. He is a despotc
character he is an ingrained legitimist, who con-
sders it O social calling to hold down popular de-
veopment II It does not directly serve his purposes.
What Germany next needs is a Bismarck for its
home policy, q man who knows how to develop
more fully or rather to give free scope to, those
rich resources and quality Of character by which
Germany has just won the admiration Of the civilized
world and earned the hatred OF the French and the
Fenians. In her days OF misfortune and national
degradation she had such man in the great Baron

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.

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.

THE MORMON OUTRAGEs. We have re-

the Mormons have recently been guilty Of
towards Genties and apostate Mormons. The
details are published this morning in another

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.

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

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

The Cincinnati Times, has the
following sensible remark and
suggestion on the subject heading
this article


If woman equally with man has
a soul to save. and if equally with
him she be accountable at the bar
Of God for every failure to dis
charge her duty, certainly should
she be welcome to the work OF the
ministry il she feel it to be her
duty TO preach the gospel.


The suggestion we would make
is, that If the orthodox churches
refuse to ordain female preachers,
the heterodox churches will over
flow with their celestial eloquence
and the days Of orthodoxy are
numbered. Education has been
working for woman, and the
change effected by education in her
recognition of her own duties and
capacities must be regarded by the
church. Julia Ward Howe is an
eloquent Free Religion preacher,
and were it not for prohibition Of
the evangelical churches, the whole
world would soon be drawn to the
sanctuary by the angelic voice of
woman. Preaching is peculiarly
adapted to the feminine character.
Remove the ban and she will move
the multitude as never man has
moved them, except in revolution
ary epochs.'
