The New York World, in speaking of
General BUTLER's order upon leaving that
city, says :-"He is profuse in the expression
" of thanks to almost everybody whom he
" CHANGED to meet in this metropolis, aud evil
IDENTITY thinks that there are many nne fell
" lows here-as of course there are, as witness
" the $4,000 votes cast for General McCLEL-
" Ian last week."
Now it so happens that the "fne fellows"
whom General BUTLER met are not the same
set as voted for the late General MCCLELLAN.
The friends Of the great defunct do not fire.
quent the neighborhood occupied by the
"Brute," as they greatly fear that the raven
Gus hunger of the "traitOr-eater" might induce
him to deyour them as he did the ladies of
New Orleans. The great resort of these
"very fine fellows" is in the Sixth Ward or
Five Points. These are their favorite places
of abode, but the residence in which they may
generally be found is at Sing Sing, where they
are supported by the State. They are entirely
too insignificant to be favored with lodgings by
the United States Government at "HOtel
Lafayette" the State Prison or the Tombs
being deemed more appropriate, "Truly they
are honorable men" and every fine fellows"

qITF POITTICAL YAHOO.

In the political world various coterles
exist, which make to themselves polti-
cal Edens, in which honor seems to be the
forbidden fruit that they are TO let alone. All
over the garden they may wander, plucking
the fruits of expediency, whilst they bask in
the sunlight Of seli-interest but that tree is
to be saved from their touch. And the sane
tity is never violated. The evergreen purity
and beauty which there intensity each other
are never profinod. No tempter Turks near
to argue that it Is pleasant to the taste and
sight-giying to the minds eye. The ignorance
OF virtue being bliss, it would be foolish TO be
wise, and forfeit forever the possession Of so
vast pleasure ground.
To be unpreiudiced in forming ones politi.
cal opinions, and TO be faithful in adhering to
them no matter what sacrifice such faithful
ness may involve, Is 10 realize 10 some extent
the character Of that benehcent era when per-
soual and public selhshness shall be neutral
lied by the presence Of personal and public
integrity; when every man shall be as true to
others as he now imagines he is 10 himself
when he necessarily veers in his policy 70
compass some short-sighted end; and when
men shall cease to make the unfortunate
bluuder of concluding love Of country with
love of money, and shah no longer unWil-
tingiy furnish to the world unhappy llusIa-
lions Of that mistake In themselves.
But that point Of time--if, indeed, it be not
mathematical point, and have no dimen-
sions, but merely a position in our hopes
has not yet arrived In the world Of politics,
as In all the other worlds which society erects,
the sordld and the base are to be met with.

sent moment in the hope Of being rewarded by

GIN. RUTLER,s NEW

GIN. BUTLER's NEW YORK y PEECH.
There are few men in the country who
understand better than General BUTLER the
its efforts to subdue the Rebellion. His opinions
regarding the position in which the Southern
States have placed themselves towards the
national authority, and the course taken to
bring them again to submit to its supremacy,
are those Of soldier and q statesman.
In his speech at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on
Monday last, General BUTLER advanced the
idea that now the Government was in a
position to extend the olive branch Of peace TO
the deluded people Of the South. He con-
tended that it can do so without dishonor;
that It Is strong enough, in view Of the una.
nimity of the American people in the recent
Presidential election; and that, in the might
and majesty OF its power, it can now afford
to offer the rebellious States an opportunity
to lay down their arms and return to their
allegiance. He argued that there cannot be
the same objection to a general invitation to
return and enjoy the blessings of the Union,
that proud people raised when the Amnesty
Proclamation was published. Let us say to
them, exclaims the General:-
~Come back, come back, and leave off
feeding on husks, and share with us the fat
Of the land, and bygones shall be bygones, II
bygones are bygones, and in one country
and with one law we shall live in peace
hereafter. Come back, and you shall find
the laws the same, save so far as they have
haa ola ttxya xvieI n
the land-both for leaders and followers"
He suggests the 9Th of January as the da,
for all to hay down their arms and submit t
the laws; and when that hour has passei
to every man who shall scout the proAere
amnesty OF a great and powerful natiol
speaking in love, in charity, in kindness,
hope Of peace and quiet forever to its rebe
" lious sons, then let US meet him or them lCit

Referring to the result of the election,
remarked that he "never expected to see,
aims or civil affairs, greater victory thi
=" the one we have just achieved" 1t is
victory which has decided the war, II not
military point Of view, yet overwhelming
:" as civil victory, which, after all, decide
4" the fate of nations"
General BUrLER's address was listened
with great attention, and his proposition
offer peace to the Rebels created an inten
sensation. Whether he spoke only for himse
or whether be ioreshadows some policy of tl
nature to be adopted by the GoYemmei
remains lor the future 20 develop.

MGHT orr or DARKNEss.

No stronger proof can be adduced in favor
of the advance Of man than is afforded by
Egypt. The darkness of that benighted land
has been rolled away at the same time that it
rolled up majority of over a thousand for
Union and liberty. There is nowhere on
record greater revulsion of sentiment. For
instance, the vote in johnson county, in 1856,
stood FREMONT 2; BUCHANAN, 1144. In
1850, LINCOLN. 40; DOUGLAS, 1858; while on
this occasion it gave majority for LINCOLN
of 1063-making gain of 25S6, or a total
change in the whole popular vote. Egypt, in
1860, gave 1908 majority for the Democratic
party. To-day, Hon. A. j. KUYKENDALL,
Union candidate, is elected by 1OOO-a gain of
$4,000 votes.
The credit for this great work must be
given to such War Democrats as General j.
A. LOGAN, General HAYYE, and others. All
honor to these noble men, who not only fight
for their country but speak for her. Both in
the field and at the polls the Union is vic
| tOriOus.

TT,e METROPOLus AND oUAKERcITy

IL % certainly ludcrous TO look over certain
New York papers. and examine the peculiar
manner m which they reflte an argument.
II the Metropolis is accused OF any crime.
instead Of bringing forward proof of the con
trary, they eagerly look at Philadelphia. and,
like children, excuse themselves on the ground
that the Quaker City did So" Notwitb-
standing their great boast OF metropolism
and superiority, they are continually quoting
our actions.
The World of yesterday, speaking Of the
late election, says -" The people who berate
4" New York (for polling 10000 votes), over
" look the very important fact that the Re.
"publlcan city of Philadelphia, at the late
election, polled ocer niaety-t,oo thousand
q roies, CT within about eighteen thousand Of
Z" as many as the Metropolis; yet we predict,
"when a draft comes, not half as many men
q win be asked of Philadelphia as Of New
York"
We can account for the large vote in our
CITY without difficulty. Here we have ample
accommodations for voting, while New York
is most deficient in polls. Besides, we have
right to poll larger vote in proportion to our
population than she has. An immense per-
eentage of her inhabitants are emigrants, who
have no rights of citizenship, while here,
almost every resident over twenty-one is a
native or nataralized citizen.
NV hen the draft does come, we agree with
the World that it viii be far less here than
there. Philadelphia has by her persistent ex-
ertions acquired a large credit, and her pro-
portion will be comparatively small, and
whatever It is she will fill, not seeking to
escape her duty by forged naval enllstments.
nor yet by riots.
If the Metropolis is as true to our common
country as her sister city, the country would
have no cause TO find fault.

here the human insects who only worship
spurious success DO homage 10 power, and
when they are not bribed are brlblng.
Here, too. all that is disgusting 10 the maa
Of honor Is set 10 work, aud the morbid cor
ruption Of SwrFr's embittered genius Is
almost realized In the existence of beings who
have totally perverted the original PRINCIPLES
Of noble human nature, and who deserve an
cpithct no less expressive OF adherence than
that Of political Yahoo. In every condition
Of life we find the merctricous and the false.
That sphere which deals with the principles
Of government and In which instances have
not been rare Of political being almost tanta-
mount 70 patriotic enthusiasm, is not peculiar
in this respect. The extent and influence Of
that sphere Il is which inevitably invites criti-
cism, and which have almost been mad, 70
serve to invoke retribution and rebukc.
Amid all the chang Of perady and fraud
brought against not a few Of those who have
battled with each other in the political arena,
the timld and suspicious.are apt to lose their
conviction that there is soundness and sweet
ness after all in the apple Of discord. They
are apt TO forget that the Government which
has withstood so many and such immense
blows must possess large fund Of strength,
and amongst the satellites who surround. prin-
ciples, as honest as the day, must somewhere
exist. If TO have universal confidence is indeed
to be blind, TO entertain universal dstrust is
not to be far-sighted. Falsehood will not be
shamed by the one habit, nor truth encouraged
by the other.

AMEISENE ENTS.

ACADEMY OF MUsIo.-EXpectaton was raised
to the highest pitch last night, and the Academy
was crowded most uncomfortably for all but the
treasury, and really we Can endure little dis
comfort to reward Mr.. Grover for the pains he
has taken in perfecting operatlc performances, as
he alone has done in this country. Les Hugueaots,
however, was not one of the most favorable
specimens of the merits of the troupe. Les Hngue-
,ofS is a gigantic work that requires Titanic
power to conquer.
FOTmes was to have played Marcel" but his
sudden illness gave the part to Hermanns,
change by which the audience lost nothing but
the prestige of formes name. Hermanns is as
fine an artist as Formes, has grand, powerful
voice, which, moreover, is fresher and surer than
That of Carl Formes. Hermanns, too, is great
actor; the part of" Marcel could not have been
in better hands Hermanns was like an historical
picture of the brave stern Huguenot.
The romRnza Of "Rauol," in the first act (pia
bollOc del pin bianco relo), is very difficult aria,
seldom sang by any tenor, and by NO one with
the success which Tamaro has gained, and which
was manifest by the applause. ln the fourth act,
the duett between "Nalentine" and "Rauo"
showed the great power aud talent OF Signor
Tamaro as a singer and actor. There is not now
in America another tenor who is able to play the
role of "RauOl."
Madame Johannsen was in full possession of
all her pOwers-a great lyric artist-the only
actress who sings. "Fidelio Valentine" Is part
OF tne RTCdtCeL hdhalhp yp-
hansen achieved triumphant success. The
great duet of the fourth act wanted but an eiii-
| cent tenor to be perfect.
| Madame Rotter gave the difficult music of the
4 "Queen' with grace and skill she curtailed the
! part, which was judicious, as the doors were not
closed before O'clock in the morning. In Paris
