The action OF Mr.. Henderson IN
the whlskey frauds Of st. Louis did
not suit Mr.. Grant, and consequent
ly he has been removed. He was
100 honest and too true for the
corrupt, thleving radical party. He
was too earnest and energetic in
prosecuting his business his zeal
IN the interest Of the government
was too ardent ; he did his duty 90
we'll. In his earnestness for the
right he implicated too many OF
Grants pet rascals, and conse-
quently he has been removed and
some one else appointed. Doubt
less many who would have been
brought to tr'al for the part they
have played in the whiskey bu.l
mess, will thus escape. A good
officer has been discharged because
he did his duty and did it we'll.
