There is soon to be Il paper entitled as
above, issued from this office, and pub
lishcd in the interests of the NJ. E. Church
in this portion Of our work.
Since tile uiwiso removal of the
Charleston Adrocate, our work has been
enlareing and extending in this section
and demands multiplying for local or
gan. The Charleston Adrocaie was for
two years published In Charleston. 1t
was during this cventful period In the
history Of our cause in the South, one OF
the most important auxiliarics of our
work. Its removal left vacant place
here which has not since been filled. II
is an old saying, THAT blessings brighten
as they take their flight" This was cm
Tor this coast. Many were taken by sur
prise ut its sudden removal and were
anxious for its return, If we had been
as fully advertised of the wants and
wishes of the people in this section, be-
fore the transfer Of that paper to Atlanta,
Ca. as we were after It was done, It
would never have gone from us. The
Methods. Adrocate is good paper and
ably cOuflurte1 hut II Il tOO distant from
the Atlantic coast to meet our local wants
in this section. Our work OH this coast
differs in some particulars from our work
III the section of Atlanta, or the Wiley of

not be met by those who live ut dis

An Interview with Mr. Henderson

An Interview with MIR. Henderson.
The interview accorded by Mr.. Henderson
to our correspondent at st. Louis yesterday
will attract and reward attention. The COM
pliment which he pays to the HERALD for ex-
pressing in an editorial the views which he
would otherwise have set forth in letter to
Secretary Bristow or Attorney General Pierre
pont may pass for what it is worth but
we are sorry that the honest statement of our
views has superseded the presentation of
Mr.. Hendersons opinion in his own vigor-
Gus language In the interview with our
correspondent Mr.. Henderson makes a strong
point in vindication Of his address to the
jury which has not been presented before. He
calls attention to the fact that the President
had not shadow of legal right to interfere
with the assignment of internal revenue
officers to different districts, although he did
interfere to prevent the transfer of Mcdonald
to an Eastern district. Mr.. Henderson says
the President had no more right to obstruct
and cancel that order 'than the Emperor of
Japan" 1t seems that Commissioner Doug
lass did not understand the law, and that
ne reIeTreu Ine matter 10 the 1reSlQenL IN
ignorance Of its provisions "The law pro-
vides expressly" says Mr.. Henderson. "that
the Secretary of the Treasury shall, upon
the recommendation Of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, make these transfers, and
Douglass himself did not know what the
law was when he testified that the Presidents
sanction was necessary" President Grant
went beyond the law and transcribed his
authority when he countermanded the order
for the transfer of internal revenue officers
This illegal action Of the President was full
justification Of Mr. Henderson's comments
in addressing the Court and jury.
An interesting feature of this interview
with Mr.. Henderson is the permission he
gave our correspondent to copy letter he
has Just received from Ex-Governor Palmer,
Of Illinois, strongly indorsing his course in
the trial. "There are matters of higher mo-
ment," says Governor Palmer, ethan mere
friendships, and one Of these is that the legal
profession, to be useful, must be indepen-
dent, and must not submit to be challenged
even by the President and his Cabinet for
honest words spoken in the courts in the
line Of duty" We are confident that the self
respecting part Of the Bar of the country will
indorse this sentiment.
The New York herald., 1875-12-15

changed to the same day with the State cleo
ton but the result Of the change was so un-
satisfactory that in 1853, after trial of four
years, the municipal and general elections
were again separated, and continued to be
held on different days until the passage Of
the Tweed charter in 1870. We should like
to see on what specific ground the sincere
opponents of Tammany would undertake to
justify this feature of the Tammany Ring
legislation, which was such wide devia-
tion from the general policy of the State in
respect to municipal elections.
1t is easy to understand why professional
politicians prefer to have the city election
and the general election take place on the
same day. The professional gamblers in
politics depend on the mercenary vote which
is brought to the polls by the expenditure of
money. When twenty or thirty candidates
are running at the same time, with an equal
interest in bringing out the hireling vote,
1t is great saving of resources for them
to club together and share the expenses that
attend an election. 1t is the purchasable
vote that demoralizes our politics, and the
greater the number Of purchasers who have
common interest in bringing the corrupti-
BILE element to the polls the greater are the
chances that each will succeed. If we could
have city election in which only Mayor
and Aldermen were to be chosen, without
swarm of other officers to be voted for, there
would not be election funds enough to call
out the purchasable element, and the
contest would be decided by citizens
who go to the polls to express their honest
convictions. The jumbling of city and State
elections together and holding them on the
same day cheapens political bribery to all
the candidates The bad practice of spend
ing money in elections looks to bringing
voters to the polls who would otherwise stay
away, and the greater the number Of candi-
dates running at the same time the
greater is the common electioneering
fund which is swelled by the joint con-
tributions of all the candidates BY sepa-
rating the municipal from the general
election the corrupt element would be left at
home in the municipal contest, and few cti-
zens would come to the polls who were not
called out by genuine public spirit. The
better class would be encouraged to partici-
pate in the election because their votes would
not be swamped by the mercenary element,
which would lack purchasers when multi
tude Of candidates did not swell the election
eering fund. Partisan feeling would have
less influence when the general ticket of
political party was not at stake and the
municipal election turned wholly on mu-
nicipal questions. A great part of the
strength of Tammany depends on its regular
Endorsement by the democratic State conven-
tions and its ability to figure in this city as
the authorized representative of the demo-
cratic party of the State. If the city cleo
tions were held in the spring Tammany
would have to stand on its own unsupported
strength, and could be easily beaten in every
contest We trust that, on further reflection,
all the enemies Of Tammany will unite in
the demand for o charter election in the
spring.
The New York herald., 1875-12-15
"a Herald I'm Italy,

In o recent cable despatch from London
there was the report of an address by Signor
Caperio, Deputy of the Italian Parliament,
delivered before a meeting of the Italian
Geographical Society. Signor Caperio, in
the course of his address on the latest ex-
plorations in the regions of the Victoria
Niyanza, made complimentary reference to
this journal, and in conclusion expressed
the wish for "a HERALD in Italy" Of
course we are gratifed at these recognitions
especially from countries as distant as Italy
centres in themselves of high civilization.
We can understand also the aspiration of
an enlightened statesman like Signor Ca
perio for "a HERALD in Italy"
Italy will never have HERALD until the
Italian people desire it. A journal like the
HERALD is the representative, and in GER
tain sense the product, of the community in
which it is published. No enterprise, no
genius, no courage could create q HERALD
amid conditions foreign to its success. That
is to say, we cannot have HERALD in Paris,
or in Vienna, or in Constantinople, or
even in Berlin. This is not because the
people of these great nations would not appre-
ciate and to certain extent support a
HERALD, but because the government systems
are in antagonism to that cardinal principle
of free institutions without which the
HERALD could not live-namely, the freedom
of the press Take Germany, the most
powerful nation in Europe, and, in many
respects, among the most enlightened and
far-seeing. The HERALD would be impossible
in Berlin, because the duty Of its editor
would be not to please the people, but to
respect the wishes of Prince Bismarck In
Vienna the leading journal is compelled to
build its own telegraph wire to the frontier Of
the Austrian Empire, 50 that it can receive
dispatches without the supervision of the
Austrian authorities. In Paris journalism
has reached high point, so far
as the brilliancy and wit of the indi-
vidual writers are concerned, probably the
highest point in the world. We have no
better essay writing than in the Paris press,
and the history OF success in France, political
and otherwise, shows that journalism has in
most cases been the first step to authority
and fame. But journal like the HERALD
would be impossible in Paris, because Bona
partisan would control it to-day and radical
ism tomorrow, and its editors would live IN
constant feax Of banishment to CAYENNE BY
