New YORK, Nov. 28.-Disgust is ex-
pressed here at the removal of Marshal
Henry. If people are to be removed who
cling to Brady, Assistant Treasurer New
and hundreds ought to go. Henry never
said the government had no case till the
sinister acts of Bliss s. Co. around the
court satisfied him that men with strong
case would not rely on such unprincipled
decoy devices. We want thieves to be
punished, yet the courts are to be the pro-
lection of all men till tried. Such men as
Bliss might become terror if he was
given the United States district court at
Washington to make money and power in.
His reputation in New York is next to
frlendless: Arthur has recovered no
ground since the election.
Brewster, the attorney general, is the
subordinate in respect for honest men
ne has complained of. For years he de-
rlded Judge Carroll Brewster, his brother,
On the bench in Philadelphia, calling him
an 1liegltimate son. This was literally
the pot calling the kettle black. The
brother, whose talents are SO safe, compared
to Ben Brewster's, calmly turned Ben out

Everybody from Washington is talking
about Gen. Sherman, who is said to have
the presidential bee in his bonnet. The
persons who talk about nominating him
are not joking. They say he is the one
