For THE ARGuS


When we first received Henry's discIo-
sures, we did not suppose that thev would
surprize any thinking man in the country
much less that any one would attemnt RI
controvert the fact which they deyeiope
What IS there extraordinary in the effort to
divide the Union by power that plumbers
our SHIPS and steals our seamen
Henry's exposures are said to be force
ries. because Mr.. Peels letter refers to q
correspondence in 1903 instead of 1909 Tho
Chronological order is regular enough. in
spite OF the quioblers. Henry had tzyo mis-
sions, one in 1903, the other in 1909. He he
haved So well in the first that it urocnred
his appointment to the second. Lord Liver
pool, in referring to Henry's services, went
back to the beginning, that is in 1903.
1t would not have been hoHte in the lord
Liverpool to have referred to Henry's cor
respoDdence in 1909, because in that wear
Henry was not successful. In 1903 he had
given more satisfaction, and that was one
reason we presume. why the noble lord re-
ferred to that year.
In 1903 Henry dealt in s5ecuL,tio, :,
1907 ne set out for hructice. He seems To
have succeeded better in the former Iban t.,e
latter; and Lord Liverpool. following the
bent OF Henry's genius, haid tin, in q sfccu-
IattUe zUay.
