According to our dispatches from Charles

Sickios, military commander over North and
South Carolina, has had to remind his fellow
citisens of The burnt district Of the aforesaid
city that tho dag which Major Anderson was
compelled to haul down from Fort Sumter In
1861 was replaced BY General Anderson over
the ruins Of Fort Sumter on the same day In 1865,

was 80 evidently intended as deliberate insult
to athe Yankee despotism," !" that General Sickles
will be spplauded by every loyalist in the land
for his decisive action in this matter. He only
contends that in reconstructing the people Of
his district they shall obey the laws, keep step
to the music, and march behind "the old fag''
Of the Union, especially when they undertake
to reject It. His method Of introducing the

@Hubble, bubble, bursti" So explode many
brilliant but unsubstantial hopes Of foreign
contributors 70 the Paris Exposition. The rep
resentatives Of American art, particularly,
might - well have staid at home. The hospi-
tality accorded 10 them seems to have been
niggardly enough, II we are to Judge by the
meagre accommodation allotted to their
works. Indeed, some Of our artists, and not the
least distinguished among them, have been en-
tirely excluded, we understand. They have -
slender opportunities for display as the Ameri-
can amateur oarsmen, who are virtually ex-
cluded from the International rowing regattas
on the Seine.
On the other hand, the liberality Of the Jury
Of Admission into the galleries Of the Exposi-
tion has been lavished almost exclusively upon
the productions Of French artists. The latter
not only claim the precedence in superiority,
which, in some respects, foreigners might not
be indisposed to yield, but in point Of num-
bers; and this the guests cannot help yielding
also. The majority rule, and Frenchmen are
tho majority. Throughout the galleries France

A few years ago certain busy bodies troubled
themselves about the history of the New YoRx
HERALD, and our history in connection there
with. We have never said whether the in
formation then given to the public was correct
or incorrect It was said, we believe, by some
mischievous persons, at the time that the attempt
to initiate the public into the above mentioned
mysteries was made by parties who had never
themselves been initiated. It may not be with
out value to some future historian Of the
HERALD to be told that twenty-five years
ago we occupied the position Of its money
editor, and that some three years earlier we
were its principal reporter. Some say the
HERALD was commenced in . cellar. We have
never said yes or no to that statement II its
begianing was 80 lowly, no shame, but praise
rather, to the HsRALD. aSmall beginnings"
fAey say. "make great sndings" The history
Of the HERALD does mot belle the proverb.
The removal Of tie HnRALD from is con-
venient but unostentatious dwelling In Fulton
street to ih pAlatial home in Broadway has
naturally enough become one Of the prominent
topics Of the day. Some kind and some un-
kind things are said Some Of the smaller
newspapers, like little dogs, are barking very
loudly. The Press, these little things choose to
call themselves As applied to some news
papers-such, for example, as the Philadelphia
Ledger, the Boston Journal, and few others
in New Orleans, Chicago, Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Memphis, a. well e one or
two In this city which we need not name,
we certainly do understand the term the
Press, but not In connection with the little
dogs above referred to These little dogs,
We say, have been barking loudly at the
HERALD. The HERALD does not dislike it It
pleases them; it does the HERALD no harm.
The HERALD, they say, has been successful.
Has itf We have never said " 1t has !" we
have never said II has nokn What we have
said is that the people come with their adver-
tisements in ever increasing numbers, and that
the HERALD's circulation, which has long been
without parallel, steadily grows. We don't
bid the people come with their advertisements;
they come. We don't bid them buy; they buy.
Why they advertise in the HERALD, and why
they buy the HERALD they know, and all the
world knows. The HERALD has unbounded
confidence in itself, and looks forward hope
fully to the future. What dimensions 1t may
have assumed at the end of the next thirty
years, and into what grander quarters it may
be necessary to migrate, we shall not venture
TO say.

There is q popular prejudice in New York
against railroad corporations. Whenever any
special legislation Is proposed extending the
privileges Of an existing or Incorporating q
new railroad company the general sentiment
is adverse to its success, and ninety-1ine
people out Of every hundred In the State look
upon it as corrupt job. Yet every person is
in favor Of railroads wherever they are
needed, and not living man in his sane mind
would propose that the country should try to
get along without them.
The explanation Of this apparent contradic-
ton is that railroad corporations have been 80
grasplng, avaricious and overbearing that they
have brought discredit and disfhvor upon them
selves They have only their own bad policy to
blame for their unpopularity The directors and
managers Of our trunk lines, in especial, have
seldom confined themselves to their legitimate
sphere Of action. They have given their minds
70 the rise and fall OF their stock rather than to
the business management Of their roads and
many Of them, while entirely familiar with the
method Of amaking corner" and sharp
enough at buying, and selling short, know no
more about time tables or rolling stock or any
Of the practical business Of railroad than
they do about Hindostanee. The consequence
il that our railroads have been altogether
behind the age in their management The
travelling public have had just as little accom-
mediation and protection as the companies
could dole out to them, and, wherever an
advantage could be taken Of them, have been
compelled to submit

Of steady progress and moving incidents in our

politicians at Albany organized and fostered
the business for their own emolument, and
soon gas companies and railroads and private
corporations Of every sort and description
reaped harvest and scattered harvest at the
State capital year after year. The Offices OF
Senator and Assemblyman began TO be
sought after by needy politicians, al
though the legitimate pay was not sufii-
cient TO meet the expenses of q session,
and shrewd men who went to Albany poor left
that city rich. Sporadic attempts were made
TO stop the rushing tide Of corruption and TO
bring offenders to Justice, but the elective sys-
tenn Of Judiciary stood in the background. the
friendly refuge of the briber and the bribed.
That corruption and anarchy have sapped
the very foundations Of our State government
under the existing constitution is evident from
the disclosures and charges made by oficials Of
the same political party against each other. If
we are to credit the statements of Senators who
are known TO echo the sentiments OF the Execu-
tive, the management Of the State canals has
recently been monstrous system Of fraud and
rascality. Yet there Is no power in the Gov
ernor to check or remove the unfaithful ofhcers,
and the investigation into their alleged mall
practices is submitted to the slow and
uncertain operation Of Legislative commit
tee, itself not free from the taint Of sus-
picion. Thus department is set against
department in the State as well as In the city
government, and as there Is no supreme au-
thorisy anywhere, confusion and anarchy must
result.
II we would remove these evils, we must
strike at their root, and that Is to be found In
the organised anarchy and corruption forced
upon US by the Herkimer county politicians
twenty years ago, In the form Of State consti-
tuition. We must 60 back TO the old and sound
principles Of true democratic and responsible
government The Governor Of the State must
