The telegraph, some days ago, gave q
synopsis of the speech of General Butler, de.
livered in Washington on the night Of the
llth inst. The New York Express make.
the following truthful comments upon the
Generals performance:
This cunning speech is Butlerish all over.
IL was meant to divide public opnion-to
withdraw attention from the general Joy over
recent victories and the surrender OF Lee to
Grant, but 1t is direct attack upon the Pres
ident and Grant, with whom Batter quarrelsd
before leaving the Army of the James. We
should suppose after adding the Big Ditch to
Big Bethel, and Fort Fisher to both, that
Butler would hide his head in very shame at
his Impotence iu war. The Albany Journal
has we'll characterized him as one OF the
great malignants. His only capacity seems
to be for mischief, and he is as ambitious as
Satan, he disobeys the orders of his chief in the
held and OF the Executive who sends him
home, oniy TO attack them in stump speeches
at the Capital and elsewhere. Butler led of
10 1860, in the city of Char lesion, among the
enemies of the Union BY supporting Breekin-
ridge for President, as the successor of Bu-
chanan. de was among the leaders who d.
ylded the Democratic party, whose defeat
brought on the war, and since then be has
been marplot in psaee and failure in war.
Bat from the spoils Of war no has become ar.
rogsnt and insulting even to those who made
his fortune. II is fair to presume that Ulysses
S Grant will survive Ben. Butler even with
all his past efforts 10 immortalize himself by
making the negro free and equal with the
white man, for Il is plain that Butler nov
means to win attention by playing upon lhis

General Sohenck, member Of Con-
gress from Ohio, made a speech ct
Chillicothe on the 5th. He said:
The President might have held the
rebellious States in military subsection
as q conquered people until satisfied Of
their entire loyalty, and until re-insta-
ted IN their former positions by l~eeisla-
tive actioni or he might have with
drawn the military force altogether and
left them 70 exercise their civil func-
tons locally and IN their relations 10
the other States From the start there
were objections 10 each of these courses,
and the President combined them,
holding a military force oYer them at
the same time that he allowed them to
relnseate these civil powers, and begin
again the exercise of their loyal func-
tons This latter privilege, however,
was only an experiment, and the
speaker assured his hearers that Persi
dent johnson 50 regarded it. Only
ten days ago, with full and free inter
view with him, the President said he
regarded the local Governments set ar
in the rebellious States as temporary
experiments. simply 70 give the people
