THE HERALD AND ITS ENTERPRISE.

From the Statewide (N.C.) Intelligencer, Marchsl
On last Tuesday, as on several previous occa-
sions, we failed to receive our exchange copy of
the daily HERALD. Such a mishap always creates
q void In the valuable matter which comes to our
table which Is especially felt. The HERALD has
grown to be an institution, and whoever would
keep up with the history Of the daily doings of the
world cannot afford to do without 1t. There were
those who feared that the death OF its distin-
guished and remarkable founder would be fol-
lowed by falling OF in the energy and
skill Of the HERALD management. But, 80 far
from this having been the case, we can truly say,
without any dsparagement OF its past ability, that
the present conductors OF that journal are far
ceiling in enterprise, skill, tact and power, any
thing ever heretofore exhibited by that or any
other journal in America, or perhaps In the whole
world. No corner Of the world is too remote to be
penetrated; no enterprise in search Of authentic
news Of current events too costly too hazardous
to be undertaken by its daring correspondents.
Witness the expedition to discover the dscoverer,
Livingstone; the jaunt to Cuba Libre by OKely,
in spite OF Spanish threats or hindrances;
and more recently the ride into the lava beds to
talk with Captain Jack and his Modocs, as well az
other enterprises which our space does not permit
us to mention. Who can calculate the aid to tho
cause Of truth, sound judgment ana right think
ing which Is given by the radiant light OF facts
which this independent journal thus pours upon
every subject OF interest Truly impartial and
lofty in tone, and honorable and benencent in aim.
as we perceive 1t to be- and with immense re-
sources at command, the herald is fast becoming
power in the world. AS q journalist and an
American we feel proud OF it. Its motto, as COM
Jared with its own past. as well as all centemp0-
rary newspapers, might well be 'paulo ma3ord

The HERALD newspaper gives everything worth
knowing, and one can see at glance that the
sHERALD Almanac" pursues the same policy. 1t in
not surprising that the demand for this Almanac
continues till late in the year, for the great bulk Of
the information contained in its two hundred and
more pages Is equally valuable for reference all the
year round. The record Of the gold, stock United
States bond, flour and cotton markets for every
day of 1872 is one OF the specalties The Mariners
guide, hurricane and cyclone charts, and much
other practical information for seamen, renders
the Almanac of special value to all concerned In
ably full and accurate while foreign governments,
mail and postal department., &C., receive complete
aud careful attention. 1t certainly gives more In
formation for the money than anything else We
have ever seen in the almanac line.

gent and capable mon who were natives OF
that section and most interested in its welfare
were Ignored or excluded from political priv
lego by the federal government We have
seen the consequences in the Ku Klux, in
general decentralization, in the robbery of the
States by needy and dishonest strangers, in
the accumulation Of enormous State debts and
in the partial destruction of Southern credit
But the motive that led to this reprehensi-
BILE policy does not exist, or has not the same
force as formerly. The radical party has &C
complished its object as far as that was
possible. General Grant has been re-
elected and has just entered upon his sec
ond term. Four years will produce great
change, probably, in the politics and
parties of this country. General Grant can
now. and should, act independently for
the best interests of the South as we'll as of
the North, regardless of party schemes or
aspirations. The unfortunate Louisiana trouble
arose from the same partisan purpose of keep
ing the South under radical control but that
began before the result OF the Presidential
election was declared, and General Grant was
installed for q second term. Were such case
to recur here after the action of the Presi-
dent might be different. General Grant need
not break from his party but he may lead it
in more generous and encouraging policy to-
ward the South, though we think he need not
be careful about breaking with party that
has become so demoralized and has received
such a shock from the Credit Mobilier and
other disclosures. AT all events, we recon-
mend the President to 60 among the Southern
people, to see their condition, to learn their
wants and wishes. to speak words of peace
and encouragement to them, and, above all, to
let them govern themselves in purely local
matters, without federal interference, Us the
people of New York and other Northern States
do Let every injurious vestige of the war
be obiterated and the South be restored to
equality and harmony with the rest OF the
Republic.

An absurd attempt to pervert the voice of
the press is exposed in our Washington de-
spatches published in the HERALD yesterday.
To secure reports, trimmed and shaped to
meet the views and serve the interests OF
Messrs. Conkling, Chandler and Carpenter, an
agent of the Associated Press is to be intro
duced upon the floor of the Senate, where these
self-appointed censors can dictate his reports.
ALI journalists not known as partisans of these
fountains of wisdom and originators of honest
legislation are to be shut out from the Senate
galleries. lest the people who are their
masters should learn too much of the doings
of the republican Solons. If prudent, these
leaders Of the pure and triumphant party will
find their advantage in eschewing all such in
trigues for muzzling the press. No clique has
power to hide the truth from the intelligent
and vigilant agents of Independent journals,
whose only interest it is to tell their readers
facts without favor to any party and fearless of
all. An effort to conceal from the searching
inquest of popular scrutiny the acts of legis-
lative caucus indicates that they will not bear
scrutiny, and any attempt to tamper with the
press reports will only excite interest and at
tract attention. If the Senatorial cabal wish
to concentrate upon their deliberations an
unusual amount of newspaper regard they
will adopt the course suggested for overreach-
ing the press

imprisonment in Civll Actions.

New York State long ago removed the legal
monstrosity of imprisonment for debt. Yet, un-
der our statutes, restraint of liberty is allowed
or property of another, such as assault, tres
pass or libel; as we'll as when it appears that
a debtor intends to abscond, or that fraud
entered into the contracting of the debt BY
virtue of these reservations in the abolition of
Imprisonment for debt the Ludlow Street
County Jail has always many tenants who are
confined on civil suits. One of these prison.
ers in an action of libel has called the atten-
ton of the Constitutional Commission to
what he considers the hardship and injustice
of cases like his own. 1t certainly appears
reasonable that provision should be made
for requiring something more authoritative
than the er parte oath Of a complainant
to keep defendant in prison for months.
In many cases the publication of a libel is
amenabe to- no other penalty than confine-
ment in Jail; but the prosecutor should be
compelled to proceed at once with his action,
that the punishment may be upon the finding
of a Jury or judicial decision, and not on the
mere commencement of an action. In the case
we refer to the complainant sets his damages at
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Bail therein has been fixed at forty thousand
dollars, requiring sureties to Justify in one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars worth Of
real estate. Such an amount of bail is not to
be had even by every honest or innocent man
for the wishing and for the lack of it the de-
PENDANT must stay in Jail. We would not re-
lax the full responsibility of every man for his
utterances; but there should be some means
by which an innocent man may hasten his de-
fence and compel complainant to substan-
tate his charges. Very dangerous and vexa-
tious is the power by which a complainant can,
by his simple affidavit take away the liberty
of q fellow-citizen. 1t is safe to say that this
matter will receive the careful consideration of
the Constitutional Commission, whose members
have been chosen from among the best lawyers
and the most practical business men of the
State, men representing oil shades of politics
and understanding thoroughly the wants and
interests of all classes of our population.
| GERMANY AND FRANcE-THE FORTRESS OF
| BEIFoET.-On Sunday morning we printed o
despatch, special to the London Times from
Berlin, to the effect that Germany was about
to accept the financial guarantees offered by
the French government, and that the evacua-
ton OF French territory would be the result OF
the new arrangement. A later despatch from
the same to the same informs us that Ger
many refuses to evacuate Belfort until the
payment of the war indemnity is completed
by France. Does Bismarck intend to play the
game Of Schleswig- Holstein over again? II
he does it will this time be most dangerous
game. We do not believe he does. France is
stronger than Denmark, and he knows it.

WALL STREET was excited yesterday over q
rumor that the Secretary Of the Treasury had
decided to issue ten millions of the so-called
forty-four million dollars reserve of legal ten
ders and deposit the amount in the New York
banks Nothing TRANSFERRED to verify the rumor,
which originated, doubtless, among the stock
spectators. Mr.. Boutwell, has it in his power
to set at rest all this agitation and apprehension
about this disputed reserve Let him spend it
in buying, and cancelling an equivalent of six
per cent bonds and he will thereby end all de-
bate as to the propriety of issuing it. For be
will not only not increase the debt, but he will
save the six per cent interest on forty millions
of fve-twenties.

The GERMAN NAvY.-Prince Bismarck has
done much for Germany, more than any man
who ever lived before him. What he has
done all the world knows. He has made
Germany almost unit and although the
unit is not yet complete Germany through him
has become the mistress Of the European Con-
tinent. In Europe Germany is already the
pivotal Power. Prince Bismarck, however,
is not satisfied. Germany, before his work
is done, must become the great central Power
of the nations. Without great power on the
high seas this is impossible. Hence the late
vote of eighty million thalers by the German
government for the construction of ships and
shipvards. How far Bismarcks high seas
policy may succeed is as yet doubtful. 1t is
hard to build up navy

CLYDE SHIpBUHDINa.. During the last half
of January and first half of February the ship
yards of the Clyde launched fourteen steam
vessels, with an aggregate of thirty thou
sand tons burden and with engines whose
combined nominal strength exceeds forty-six
hundred horse power. All were screws except
one They are intended to navigate every
ocean and sea of magnitude on the globe.
Except three they are each Of more than one
thousand tons burden, the largest being the City
of Richmond, of four thousand seven hundred
tons, for the Liverpool and New York Inman
line. Three Of the steamers were for trade
with the United States, making near one-third
of the whole in size. While British enterprise
is thus proftably employing many men and
large amount of capital in the construction of
steamers to carry the Cross of st. George on
all waters where paying cargoes are to be
found, American shipyards are silent and the
star-spangled flag is almost an unknown
ensign in the chief resorts of commerce. For
this we may thank the want of practical sense
in Congress.

Time after time the question has been decided

to stavc OIL final proceedings till now At
length the Collector at Albany, failing all
other methods, has seized number Of loco

Quite on the Track.

An alarming sermon about the debasing
tendency of republican institutions is preached
by the London Standard upon the text Of the
scandalous connection between the Northern
Pacific Railroad the Credit Mobilier and
Congress. If the tory organ would overhaul
its geography and its files of American news
papers, it might discover that the railway
whose contiguity to the southerly bounds of
the New Dominion, in forty-nine degrees of
north latitude, it esteems SO great detriment
to the prospects of the Canadian Pacific line,
crosses the Continent from three hundred
to six hundred miles further south,
and is known among us as the
Union Pacific line-a road already several
years finished and doing heavy business.
The Royal Geographical Society might serve
the British public in general and lay the edi-
tors of the Standard under special obligations
by issuing q map Of America which will
clearly indicate that the United States has
ample room for half dozen trunk railway
lines connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, while, from the Lake of the Woods
westerly thanks to too liberal treaty as
sented to by our government some years ago.,
British enterprise is free to open as many
lines as may be needed between the parallel
of forty-nine and the Pole.

GENERAL LoNasTREEr "GoMG BAcK' ON
Hrs OLD FRIENDS. of the Southern
papers do not appear to like the course of
ex-Confederate General Longstreet during
the recent disturbances in New Orleans. For
example, the Lynchburg (va.) Republican
judges that, eff the General had been given
rope, he would have fred into the very men
who followed him through many bloody cam
paigns." It was, perhaps, because some of
these very followers had not been ''given
rope" during the war that so many were left
to be fred into in these days of peace. 1t
should be distinctly understood that General
Longstreet is not at this time performing the
role of Confederate officer, and if any of his
old friends think he has "gone back on
them they should remember that the situa-
ton is slightly changed between now and

The QUESTION OF CHURCH AND STATE IN
GERMANY. Prince Bismarck addressed the
Prussian Diet yesterday on the subject of the
legislation which he deems it wise to
pursue in opposition to the claims of the
Roman Catholic Church in the German EN-
pire. His effort was very powerful in support
of the ministerial policy. The main points Of
the Cabinet plea are set forth in the HERALD.
The Roman Catholic prelates Of Posen and
Cologne speaking in the name of their eccle-
siastical brethren and for their congregations,

REJo1cED AS We ALWAYS ARE at the progress
of religious revivals at this season of the year,
we must protest against the revival in another
line Of business among people who, while
they are continually preying upon other
people, are past praying for themselves. We
refer to the sudden increase in the number of
female pickpockets who now infest our street
cars, omnibuses, ferryboats, theatrical and
musical matin6es, and all public places where
such scamps of the feminine gender can ply
their vocation. They have selected this par
ticular time because it is the one in which
ladies generally do their spring shopping,
and are expected to carry pretty well lined
wallets and purses for the purpose. We
caution our city lady travellers 2 beware of
these female pickpockets whenever they are
obliged to mingle in promiscuous assemblages.
