KICKING TIE DEAD Iona JOKE ON
BUTLER.
On the Sth of November, General But
Ter sat in New York-an Emperor in
power to-day there are none SO poor
as to do him reverence. Even the fools
of the New York Legislature are jingling
their bells around the carcass of the
dead lion, irreverently handling the paws
which, in life, wrote SO nany prison or
ders for women and transferred so many
bank deposits to the United States (?)
Treasury. A correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, writing from Albany,
says:
The first political furry Of the session
occurred in the Assembly this morning,
when the Senate resolutions compliment
tary to Grant, Sherman, Farragut and
other victorious leaders of the Union
forces came up for consideration. MIR.
Macdonald. one of the New York city
Democratic representatives, moved
mock amendment complimentary to
General Butler for his distinguished
services at Fort Fisher and the Dutch
GAP canal. The gauntlet thus thrown
down was at once taken up, and Mr.. Van
Buren,. of New York, spoke eloquently
in eulocy of General Butler, claiming
that he had rendered infinite service to
the cause Of the country by his military
administration Of the city of New Or
leans, and by his services in preserving
the peace Of New York city during the
week Of the Presidential election.
Mr.. Dreamer, of New York, replied in
befsif ofhis constituents and win much
warmth repudiated the idea that the De
mocratic masses Of the city had any
thought of breaking the peace or doing
anything else that was wrong, and deny
ing that the good order Of the city on the
occasion referred to was in any degree
due to the presence Of General Butler
The Assembly finally voted, under the
previous question, to strike out the
amendment referring to General Butler,
and the resolutions were then adopted,
inst as they came from the Senate, unani
mously, except that Mr.. Keegan, one Of
the New York delegation, and the indi-
y;dual who distinguished himself last
| week by his attempt to carry through thu
House the resolutions eulogistic of ex-
Governor Seymour, voted in the negative
This young man is understood to be al
elepe of the New York Express Office
and the peculiar brilliancy of his legisla
tive talents would certainly indicate al
/ equally distinguished origin. Several o
the Democratic members were absent
when the vote was taken.
A new resolution was then drawn ant
submitted by Mr.. Angel, complimentary

next week. The effect Of this littl'
