HrnOrntnn and Ihe fmlJml.
Elsewhere we copy a literal report
of the remarks of Ex-Sc rmt.or Hender
son, which caused his discharge as
the assistant prosecuting attorney in
the ease of llabcock. It will require
a pretty free indulgence in Inference
and presumption to construe this
language into a charge that Gen. |
Grunt wus either cognizant of or a
iwrty to the whiskey frauds. Mr. j
Henderson was insisting on the right j
und duty of Government officials to
execute the laws, without interfer-;
ence from those higher In authority.
He Insisted that Commissioner Doug
lass ought to have pushed his investi
gation into the ring conspiracy and
frauds, regardless of protests by Bab
cock or oven by the President. The
law entrusted this duty ro him, and
neither tho iiersuasious of other offi
cials nor any parly considerations
should have iulluonced him to abate
ihe vigor which the case required.
He alluded to the President iu this
connection, It is true, but it was ouly
to intimate to hitn that he ought to
have let Dougluss alone, und not to
buve permitted Babcock to interfere
with the Commissioner’s appoint
ments or plans. It will be remem
bered in this connection that Babcock
was in correspondence with Joyce,
Avei'y, McDonald and other
of the conspirators, and that
they were urgently calling
upon him to stuy Douglass’
hand, to "call oft his hounds,” &e.
Joyce referred Babcock to a letter
which ho had written to tho Presi
dent. Fiually Babcock dispatched
over a Uetitious name to Joyce, "I
have succeeded they will not go.”
Succeeded with whom? succeeded in
what? Evidently that he hud pre
vailed on Douglass "uot to scud any
one here” (Bt. Louis', and had kept
them away to preveut au exposure
of Hie secrets of the ring. And how
did Babcock succeed? Douglass tes
titiod that he had recommended the
reuioVul of Joyce and McDonald,
but that there was u great pressure
brought to beur upon the President
to prevent it. The correspondence
shows that the conspirators were in
communication with Babcock on
tills subject, and that lie vthe Presi
dent's private Secretary and close
(riomU "had succeeded.” In all this,
however damaging it may bo to Bab
cock, there is no direct proof that
the President knew anything of the
operations of the whiskey ring, and
Mr. Henderson does not even insinu
ate that lie did. Ho ouly Insisted
that ho should uot liuve interfered
with Douglass' arrangements for the
exposure of the frauds, or that Doug
lass should not have giveu way to a
“pressure” brought to boar by Bab
cock or even by the President him
self—lie should have had the Inde
pendence to discharge his duty,with
out regard to the diciatiou of higher
officials or any considerations of par
ty.
Mr. Henderson hue been re
moved for these sentiments, and
perhaps Babcock will escape oouviu
lion because lie is uot prosecuted
with the vigor and the knowledge of
the caso which enabled Henderson to
procure the conviction of Joyce and
Avery. Bnt Mr. Henderson’s views
ol the duiy of officials entrusted by
law with executive powers are un
doubtedly correct, and will be ap
proved by the country. If they cuu
uotdo their duty because they are
interfered with by those higher in
authority, they should resign and
throw upon their superiors the re
sponsibility of pursuing a course cou
crary to their convictions of duty and
luw. The President will gaiu no
tuurels by the displaoemoiit of Mr.
Henderson,even ft Babcock should be
convicted; and if tho removal of Hen
derson should result iu the acquittal
of Babeeck ft ho llrst one of tho ring
so fortunate?, Gou. Grant will dis
cover that his interference, or that of
his Cabinet in his behalf, is the most
unpopular act of his official life.
HciMirt of Plymouth Church.
New York, Dee. 11.— The annual
meeting of Plymouth Church took
place lust evening. Tho anuual re
port showed the number of church
members in December, 1874, to be 2,-
.190; number admitted siuee, 176;
number removed, 76, of which six
were dropped from the roll. Total
membership at present, 2,490, an in
crease of 7uo; of this total number
1,675 are females and 915 are males.
There are 2,811 pupils iu schools and
255 teachers; *111,114 were raised the
past, year exclusive of personal edu
cation. The pew rents of tho last
live years has beeu *BOO,OOO, more
than *IOO,OOO of which has been de
voted to charity. Mr. Shearman re
ported, In alditiott, that notwith
standing the church’s unparalleled
difficulties, its inward prosperity has
remained unchanged. The unity
and harmony of the church was un
changed, and the reeling between
pastor and church had been strength
ened.
At a Democratic procession and
serenade in Washington, on Satur
day night, Mr Wallace, the new Sena
tor from Pennsylvania, made some
remarks which We believe Indicate the
general course that, will be pursued
by the Democracy in Congress. He
said: "It wus for them to prove their
ability to lessen the burdnes of an
oppressed people; to slop the leaks
and punish the wrong doers. Econ
omy must mark every step, and the
Government be administered for the
benefit at all sections. It wusforthe
Democrats iu Congress to prove their
tituesa for the high places to which
they had been called. They must be
governed by statesmanship deep and
wide enough to cover every section,
and the great interest of all. Judg
ment and disetetsion must mark
their pathway."
The representatives of the Ontral
American States are to meet on the
15th of January, with a view to form-
I lng a federal union.
THE TIMES: WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16. 1876.
Omissions.
Voluminous as was Gen. Grant’s
lute message to Congress, and wide
the sco|ie of its subjects und recom
mendations, it was nearly us remark
able for its omissions as for its con
tents. The strangest of these wus
the neglect to notice in uny way the
deatli of the late Vice President.
Surely this wus an event that de
served official communication to
Congress, not only out of respect and
regard for his associate peisounlly,
but because of Ills official position
which made him presiding officer id’
one of the branches that the Presi
dent was addressing. Another nota
ble omission was the neglect to siiy h
word about the whiskey frauds; und
still another, the absence of any al
lusion to the financial and commer
cial failures that have produced so
much disturbance and alui in, nnd to
the unusual depression of business
and industry—a condition very diffi
cult from that confidently hoped for,
us the result of tue Ad mi nisi ra> lion’s
Unuticiul policy, when nis message
of Hie year before was coinuiunieuetd-
Then there wus the Hamouii mission
und the mysterious political relations
between those islands and the United
States, about which the country
wanted some official information. It
is evident that the President could
have found more per incut and legit t
mat.e subjects for Ills message tlmn
the recoin ineudul ions ol a tax ou
church properly and the wresting
tram the States of the management
of their public schools.
Grant and Braise. The Maine
Standard publishes a letter written
by J. F. Foster of New Jersey to Him.
J. G. Blaine, and dated Ncwaru, Nov.
3, 1875, in which Foster advises Blaine
that there is in existence "a secret
anti-Catbolic order;” that both Ue
(Foster, and Gen. Grant are members
of it, and that Grant “relies ou it to
promote his aims.” He therefore
advises Blaine to “go iu,” und tells
him he can be initialed anywhere.
The presumption is that Blaine did
"go in,” us he shortly afterwards
wrote his letter advocating an amend
ment, of the constitution in respect
to religous teaching iu schools, &c.,
It is ulso probable that the Standard
has now published tue letter with the
object of exposing and heading off
Grant. If so, wo may regard an
open war between the Grant and
Blaine men as now commenced.
A caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of the Virginia Legislature bus
for several days beeu unsuccessfully
engaged iu balloting for a nominee
of the party for United Stales Sen
ator. The last balloting on Monday '
evening stood: Goode 54, Johnson
[present Senator] 17, Robertson 28.
The latter was then drop|ied under
the rule adopted, and Mr. Flournoy
was put in nomination. But the cau
cus then adjourned until Tuesday
morning. Yesterday was tile day for [
tho llrst vote of the two houses ia
separate session, and unless a caucus
nomination was made in the morn
ing before tho assembling of the
Legislature, it is not probable tliut
an election has yet been effected.
Tho sugar planters of Louisiana
are perhaps making more steady pro
gress towards regaining i heir former
prosperity than any other class of
agriculturists in the South. They
can largely increase their products
without overstocking the market au I
thus lower prices. It is estimated
that their sugar crop of this year will
amount to 19.1,188} hogsheads, which
is fully one thir I greater than ‘the
crop of last year, and yet the price is
well maintained. They could doubt
less double the production of this
year, and thou obtain remunerative
prices.
The trial of Hill at In liutiopolis,
for whisky frau Is, brought out some
interesting revelations on Monday.
John W. Bingham was the witness,
und testitied that lie paid llill (it
Government officer) regularly the
first of every mouth, and the average
assessment for keeping the revenue
officials “mum” was #2,tKH) per week.
He also testitied to paying money
and giving presents to other officials
to influence them uot to interfere
with Ids “crooked whisky” opera
tions.
Pincuback’B case was to have been
taken up in the United Slates Senate
ou Monday, according to postpone

the Senate passed over the matter
without the least notice or mention.
The Macon and Bruuswick Rail
road is again advertised to be sold by
the Board of Directors—this time to
the highest bidder by sealed propo
sals, which are to be received up to the
25th of January.
—Tho steam saw-mill of L. P. Anderson,
near Brunswick, was burned Inst Monday
night. Tne Appeal say s the loss was *15,-
000. No insurance.
A correspondent of the West Point
Press advises this plau of idling fni m
laborers:
Contract for all their time, and
give them two-thirds of the crop,and
they feed themselves, or give a good
hand one-third of a bale of lint cot
ton, and feed hitn. Inferior hands
in the same proportion, cotton seed
to remain on the plantation. All
hands shouid work together in re
miring amt planting until the crop
is planted, then give each hand Ids
own. At the same time, let us uot
forget that the planter's personal at
tention fs worth more than any fer
tilizer they can Ret. With this and
a judicious rotation of crops, allow
ing a broad area for hog and hominy,
we may yet redeem the |>asr, an i
make ourselves indtqiendent of cot
ton bears and provision bulls.

to tin* terms of Hie legal tender net

1875,2.307 national banks had been
organized, of which 2,087 were doing

coinage to take the place of fraction
al currency the Secretary regards as
useless so long as the premium on
gold remains utils present hgure. The
effect of the increase in duties made
last Marcii it is difficult to determine.
Tints far the result has been a de
crease in revenue, especially in such
us is derived from iron and
wool. The Secretary suggests a con
solidation of customs districts us a
measure of tvfoitti. and a siinplitlca
tioli of tin* tariff. He ulso asks for
the rcimposltion of the duty on su
gar and coffee. Alluding to the whis
key ring. Air. Bristow declares that
honesty and capacity in the Custom
House and revenue officers would be
great sources of income. Tho im

the various mutters connected with
his department at great length, the ,
.Secretary doses with some
tions concerning claims against the]
Government, recommending a limit
beyond which they shall cease to lie
voted, aud proposing a trial in our It !
case in tin* neighborhood of the
claimant, rather than at Washing

Exactly What klcii:l. rain '•am.
The following are tin* obnoxious
passages iu Henderson’s speech to
which Pierrepoht so seriously object
ed ;
This is the blot upon our Govern
ment—that it is possible for such
things to exist. They could not exist
in England, France, or uny other
civilized Government, hut are pecu
liar to our boasted lh*i iridic, it i
party, party, party, that damns our
country, and lie who has the nerve to
resist the belies s of party is worthy
of more credit than Hie bravest of old
Rolll.au 8 ddleis. Under I lie name of
party every fraud and infamy within
Hie range of possibilities is perpelui
ted. It is to be luqied and prayed
that the lime is coining when a in m
who Has tin* imisTiotis force of char
acter to resist the dictates of pally
will he looked up to as a hero, liui
we may go to the bottom, corruption
may least in alt our institutions, aud
our nation may decay and fall before
we learn this grand truth. 1 respect
party when it, is composed
of honest men. organized for
honest purposes ;but when it is com
posed of men handed together to
perpetrate frau is upon the Govern
ment to serve the personal ends ol iis
leaders, then away with it! I’ll none
of it. What right had Babcock to go
to Douglas to induce him to with
draw his agents? Douglas was placed
in his position to see that tin* Revenue
laws of the Government were pro|s*i -
Iv enforced. Wiiat business, t lien, had
Dougins with him? When an official
goes into offl *e, lie slioiild be free
and hidepeni of ail influences, except
that ol law, and if he recognizes uny
ot her master, then this Government
is tumbling down. What right has
the President to interfere with Com
missioner Douglas in the pnq**r dis
charge of his i uties, or with the
Treasury? None; and Douglas
showed a lamentable weakness of
character when he listened to Bab
cock’s dictates. He should either
have insisted that ids orders as they
existed be carried out or should have
resigned his office, Douglas now de
termined that his only course was to
change Supervisors ail over tile coun
try, and this would necessarily ex
pose fraud. On January 29. 1875, tie
telegraphed Hogue: "You are here
by ordered to report in |terson to
Supervisor Tutton, who supersedes
McDonald in St. Louis.” This was
one of the first moves toward the
change. On February 3, 1875, a tele
gram signed "S> Ipli” was sent front
here to Babcock, saying: “We lisve
official information that the enemy
weakens. Rush things.” This was
Joyce’s writing,knd the “enemy’ ’re
ferred to were t h< se persons who were
favoring the enimge of Supervisors
A coii|de of days l iter, Douglas tele
graphed Brooks: “The order telling
you to repor: to Tutton is suspended.”
Now, why did Douglas bend the sup
ple knee and permit any inteferenee
by tin* President? This was Douglas’
own business, and lie stood respon
sible for it under his official oath,
j He was bound to listen to no dicta
tion from the President, Babcock, or
; any other officer, and it was his duly
to see that the order was carried out
or resign.
