GENERAL BUTLER RAzEED-General Grant. it
appears in q short visit to Fortress Monroe,
found out the true vocation for General Butler,
and has accordingly raced him to the civil
and uncivil duties Of chief of police and mill
tary magistrate Of the Peninsular Department
In this role he is unsurpassed. aud in defining
the laws of loyalty, chapter and verse, to cum
ming secessionists, intractable rebels in crino-
line, negro claimants aud other injured ad-
mirers Of jeff Davis, General Butler will be in
all his glory. He luxuriates in the skinning of
a doubtful character who stakes his case upon
the chances Of slipping through the loopholes
of the law, and, as strict constructionist
he plays with Southern expounder as cat
plays with mouse.

Tue RECENT FLuRRrEs M WALL ErREEr.-
There have been several Hurries in Wall street
lately. One was about the Harlem Railroad
matter in the Legislature. Thurlow Weed
the politician, and one Of the Jeromes, bro
ker, had set-to with Commodore Vanderbilt
and his immense steam power. The result was
that the Commodore was successful, % be usu-
ally is in steamboats,, stocks or horses, and the
politician and the broker retired with their
eyes pretty badly blacked. Many Of the
other bright boys Of Wall street met the same
fate.
Last week gold took tumble and stocks
went with Il, and there was general smash
up. Secretary Chase, the banks, the bears,
the gold bill and half dozen other influences
all worked together TO produce this crash.
Besides all these causes, the fact that about
one hundred and 6fty millions Of dollars have
been invested, In New York and Boston, in
mining companies, mostly bubbles, contributed
in no small degree to The result These bub-
bles are strongly supported BY such journals as
the World, and, more weakly, By the Commer-
c;al Advertiser. Nobody pities the sufferers
from this furry. The popular verdict Il,
Served them right" Everybody Is glad. when
the spectators are damaged; for It Is now
thoroughly understood that honest men gain
by the losses Of the stock gamblers
These recent durries in Wall street are quite
natural, and must only be regarded a the pre-
monitory symptoms Of the grand, nnsl, fnsn-
cial breakdown which will come sooner or
later, as the fortunes Of war vary, but which
must inevitably end the brief, eventful history
Of this new era Of speculation. The experience
OF the past fifty years shows us That such fur
riee happen at intervals Of two or three
months during periods Of great financial OK.
element, and experience shows us also that
the final aurry-wbat the whalers call the
death hurry-is beyond all comparison the
worst Of oil We advise those interested to
look out for that furry; for there will be
weeping and wailing and gnashing Of teeth In
WsAl street then, and failures will be a. plen-
