A Massachusetts Apostle ON n Southern Mis-
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, commences
in day or two an apostolic journey through
the benighted region Of the late Southern Con-
federacy. He sets out with all the fervor and
much of the eloquence of st. Paul and, as
that great apostle Of the Gentiles traversed the
ends of the earth, endeavoring to bring all men
into the folds OF Christianity. 20 our American
missionary has undertaken to preach the doc
trines of the republican party, all the way
from Washington to New Orleans, to all ranks
and conditions Of men, of whatever shade Of
politics or complexion.
This tour will certainly be Of great public
interest, and may become noteworthy his
torical event. In order to make 1t the more
so we suggest that prominent Southern ora

ator And present to the same audiences and

colored Cato in the crowd may be able to say
"My life and death, my bans and ansidote.
And no Southern man now occurs to us better
qualified to play the part thus assigned than
Henry A. Wise, the eloquent but erratio ex-
Governor Of the Old Dominion. Let, then, the
two Henrys, the Massachusetts, Wilson and the
Virginia Wise, make this tour in company, the
rival representatives ofopposite ideas, and we
venture to promise them the largest daily
audiences that ever orators commanded. But
we must caution Mr.. Wise, in advance, that he
will be expected to treat the representative of
the HERALD with moro respect and politeness
than he.did the gentleman whom we sent to
report his speeches in the famous Know
Nothing campaign in Virginia, ten or eleven
years ago. That being understood, we invite
him to the lists to meet the champion of
Northern ideas.

An Angry League and an Indlgnaus Senate
The Union League Club of New York have
recently been denouncing the corruptions OF
the State Legislature in . series of resolutions,
in which they show as much virtuous indigna-
tion as was exhibited by certain republican
papers few days since on the defeat Of the
bill to hand over the piers and wharves OF the
city to warehousing company monopoly.
They had the eflSontery to transmit these reso-
lutions to the Senate, and that body summarily
sent them back again by vote of twenty-seven
20 three, after expressing considerable indig-
nation against their authors. But the Senators
overlook the provocation the Union League
Club politicians have received at the hands Of
the Legislature. The members Of the League
were the secret patrons and lobbyists OF all
the new commission jobs for New York city
introduced at Albany this session, and as they
anticipated a grand increase Of their patronage
and profit under those jobs they are naturally
irritated at their defeat
The truth is, the approaching convention,
which is about to sweep away the elective
judiciary with all its evils, and to give us
revised constitution, should change the moral
laws as well as the statute laws in relation
to the political affairs of the State, and should
legalize and regulate official corruption. It
would be better for the pockets Of the people,
as we'll as for the public morals, to adopt a
sort of graduated scale Of corruption, making
1t legal for corporations and heads Of depart
ments to steal certain amount during their
terms of Office, according to the relative i'm.
portance of their positions, and for the two
houses Of the Legislature to make stipulated
sum per session out Of the State and as much
as they can out Of private individuals Then
violations Of the law could be punished by
pains and penalties, as burglary and larceny
are punished, according to statute, and the
whole system could be properly regulated
Everything would then have its price, and the
people would know what to expect and would
stand less chance of being badly victimized.
We commend this subject to the Union League
Club as worthy Of their consideration, now tina
the question Of political equality for th'
Southern negroes is out of the way, and al
being calculated to protect them in future from
the disappointments and irritations to which
they have been subjected at the present ses
sion Of the Legislature.

Tho Forthcoming Russian American Expc.
diiien.
We are glad to perceive that The government
is about to act upon our suggestion to send
scientific exploring party TO our newly ac-
quired possessions in Russian America. II Is
necessary that Congress, which is to make the
appropriation at its next session, should be
well informed as to the resources and value Of
that territory; and there Is no mode Of obtain
ing the information except By careful explo-
ration by scientific mon. AS far as we arc at
present enlightened there are many points
upon which 1t is desirable that we should have
positive testimony. II Is stated, for instance,
that this region Is capable Of high develop
ment in agriculture. but that II has been re-

tarded by the almost exclusive interest OF the
fur trade, to which individual enterprise has
been largely directed. II is known that the
finest and most costly furs in the world are
produced there Therefore it would be well
to know what the prospect for raising cereals
may be. Then, as regards gold, 1t is reported

erable quantities. With regard to the climate,
which is supposed to be very severe, we find
authorities alleging that the temperature in
some parts is not lower than we have expert
enced in New York during periods Of last
winter.
All these are questions the solution Of
which renders the proposed exploration
of the highest Importance, and 1t becomes,
therefore, q matter of some moment that the
right kind OF men should be selected for the
expedition. Professor Agassiz would be an
admirable selection, and Du Chailld, and DR..
Hayes, the Arctic explorer, should be added
to the party. All these savaus are fully quail.

expedition OF this kind, and we think their
services would be Of infinite value. If the
undertaking is carried out at all, 1t should be
done in the most complete manner, in order
to insure satisfactory result.

Autumn

With what glory comes and goes the year!
The birds Of spring, those beautiful har-
Ofsunfy skies and cioudless times enjoy
Life's neWness, and earth's garniture spread
And when the silver habit of the clouds
Comes down upon the autumn sum- and
A sober gIadness the old year takes up
His bright inheritance of golden fruits,
A pomp and pageantdu the splendidscenes.
There is a beautiful spirit breathing now
It's mellow richness on the clustered trees
And form beaker full OF richest dyes.
PaWning new glory on the autumn WOODS,
And dipping in warm light the plllard
Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing, and in the wales
The gentle wind, sweet and passionate
Kisses the blushIng leaf, and stirs up life
Within the solemn woods Of ash deep-crihn-
And silver beech, and maple yelIow-leaved.
Where autumn, like faint old man sits
By the wayiside a-weary. Through the trees
The golden robin moves. The purple finch
That on q wild cherry and red cedar feeds
A winter bird, comes with It's pla1ntiye
And pecks BY the witeh-hazeI, whilst aloud
From cottage roofs the warbling blue-bird
And meTriIy, with oft repeated stroke
sounds from the threshing flOOT the busy
fail.
o what a glory doth this world put on
For him who, with fervent heart, goes
Under the bright and glorious sky and looks
/ On daties ell performed, and days well
For him ihe wind, ay, and the yellow leaves
Shall have q voice, and give him eloquent
He shall 90 hear the solemn hymn that
Has 1ifted up for all, that heshaHg go
To his long resting place without a tear.
