BULLY FOR WusoN.-Senator vii.
son got off . good note in the Senate
the other day. Powell, Of Kentucky,
said that the recent elections had deci
ded that no more "arbitrary arrests
should be made by the administration.
Wilson claimed ''that no such question
was settled by the elections The only
thing settled was that the administra.
ton party could not raise men enough
to send to the field and stiN have men
enough at home to vote down northern
Democrats. That's all that was set
tied"

LATEST Nrws.-Gen. Banks and
staff arrived at New Orleans on the
18th. The news transpired the follow
ING day that Gen. Butler was supcrce-
ded, and occasioned the utmost sur
prise among all classes. On the 10th,
Gems. Butler and Banks met at head
quarters. Gen. Butler welcomed Gen.
Banks to the Department Of the Gulf,
and assured hlm he would here find
troops who we're ready to yield cheer
ful obedience to every order. Banks
responded that the only pleasure he had
In taking command, was in obeying IN
order of the Government Of the United
States. Butler addressed his staff, re-
ouesting each member to take pains to
enlightcn and assist their SUCCESSORS
lie issued parting address to his sol
diers on the 10th, and on the following
day Gen. Banks assumed command OF,
the Department Of the Gulf and the
State of Texas. Butler was TO sail on
the 22d for New York, and rumor has
already assigned him an important com
lnand in the field. We sincerely hope
that he IS to supercede Stanton as Sec
detary of War.
1t is reported that Louisville is again
threatened by the rebels. We don't
credit it.
A big story is ahoat that England is
making large preparations for war; that
arms, Sc, have been sent to Canada
for 100000 men, and that 100000 reg
.alar British troops viii be sent to Can
ada early in the spring, and at the com
inc session of the Canadian Parliament
100000 volunteers viii be called for
We take no stock in that report.
St. Paul, Dee. 27.
Thirty-eight of the condemned indi
ars were hung at Mankato yesterday
atlOA.M. One, who was to have beer
executed with the rest, was granted 6
respite for few days by the President
The gallows was so constructed that

It is useless to ask Tory's acknowl-
edgcment Of the fact established bv
these figures but We are content to
have them go before the country with
out. The Administration is sustained
by sl.ety thousand majority of the peo-
pie whose votes were cast at the last
State elections, making no account OF
the two-third sentiment of the army in
its favor which got no expression. We
submit whether Tory conservatism is
not rather ''brassy'' in assuming, on be,
half Of "the people," to dictate Vallan,
disham policy to the Administration
