Upon the topic of too determination reached in lhe u-abiuot yesterday to dispense with the services of Mr. Henderson, there ii an unreserved expression of opinion1 in the highest ulhcial quarters. Memlier of toe cabinet say luo vigor of that counsellor in pressing to the utmost his prfjseeutiou of otleuders receives nothing but endorsement. Tho construction upon the language it Certain parts ol n:s speecu in uie r Averv trial was that it is persoualiy : itlensive to the president aud unwar- 1 ranted by any circumsUncca arieing 1 ia tho trial. ThU opinion is declared to l general among cabinet otlicers, and Secretary Rristow, who, it had been intimated, might not be dis , posed to thoroughly aciutesce in the determination to dispense with Gen. Henderson's services, did so as heartily as any other member of the cabinet. When tho attorney-general presented at the outset of these trials the name of General Henderson as special counsel to assist lho United States attorney in tho conduct of the cases in behalf of the government, Judgo l'ierrepont was not aware of any dillerences of past origin, that still remained between the president and the ex-senator, and when at a later period in the trials, tho attorney general interrogated the president as In why the president had concealed lhe fact of any hostility existing, the president replied that he had but one objoct in tho selection of any party to represent the government in tho matter, and that was fearless atten-: atten-: tion to the duties of the office. The attorney geuoral has unhesitatingly given his opinion in regard to thy dismissal of Henderson, and says that Brstow concurs with him. Several joint telegrams, signed l'ierrepont and Rriatnw. hvr boon rtwntlv ftrnit U" St. Louis referring to the pending trials. St. Louis, 11. District Attorney Dyer has appointed Col. James O. Broad head, ono of the leading lawyers law-yers of the St. Louis bar, to fill tiie position made vacant by the dismissal of General Henderson, and he has accepted and will proceed with the whisky ring prosecutions in conjunction conjunc-tion with District Attorney Dyer, Assistant Attorney Bliss and Lncien Haton. |
