The SECRET OF GEN. BUFFERS REMOVAL.
Many people suppose that the removal of
General Butler Was caused by his failure to
take Fort Fisher. That is not so. The true
reason is.this: when General Butler was in
command III this city, previous to the last presi
dentlal election, certain article appeared in the
New York Herald, which the General did NOT
like. As soon as he read it, he at once de
spatched one OF his aids to the Herald. office, to
Summon the managing editor Mr. Hudson) to
appear at his headquarters Mr. Hudson obey
eG the Summons; and OH appearing before tho
kigh military official hc- was Informed that the
Herald must retract the offensive article, or he
General Buter) would suppress the paper
General Butler was not aware when he made
this threat that the relations Of Mr. Bennett,
the responsible editor Of the Herald, with the
administration, were of a very friendly and con-
tidental character, and, therefore, in making
this exhibition of his 'brief authority he 'pul
his foot in it" Mr. Bennett, Of course, never
forgave him; but, on the contrary, managed'to
have him removed just as soon as the Generals
superiors could ASST gn a reason that would seem
insly justify his decapitation. General Butler
is'himself aware of this now, although he did
hot know the secret Of his relnoVa! at the tune
it took place. The offer Of the French Mission
by our late President to James Gordon Bennett
aud the endorsement OF the offer by Horace
Greeley must have opened General Buffers eyes.

The DEMOCRATIC DREAM BRoKEN.-The
democrats begin to suspect they have made
mistake in pretending to be the exclu-
sive champions of President JOhnson's re-
construction policy. The New York News
which has been eloquent in praise of the
president for several weeks, is quite taken
aback by his demands that the reorgani-
ziug states shall adopt the amendment to
the U. S. constitution and repudiate the
rebel state debts, aud cries out in melan-
choly style.
"As Mr.. Seward writes by authority of
tho president. we are forced to conclude
that the doctrine of state legislation upon
federal compulsion is part of the policy
of reconstruction. If 80, let us bid fare
we'll to republication, and accommodate
ourselves to political existence in COM
plete antagonism with the intent of the
founders of this government. Shall tie
federal constitution be amended by hold
ing certain states under duress, by imtim-
idating them, or brib;ng them, or forcing
them to concur against their convictions
of duty and interest, with the desire of
their sister states
Yet such is the policy that the admin
istration proposes to pursue toward Flori-
da, 1t says:
Pass certain laws, or we Withhold from
you certain rights and privileges Legis
late as we direct you, or we refuse you
your legitimate place in our household
Such doctrine is INDUSTRIOUS it strikes
al the vital principles of our political
system. We appeal to the president to
reconsider his decision. and rather to hold
the southern states under an avowcd mil
itary despotsm, than to degrade them by
making their Legislators puppets, and their
laws the mere echoes of the voices Of
northern factions"

FROM EUROPE,

By the London 4NOrniny Star of the
10th ult, received yesterday we learn OF
tho death of Lord Palmerston, who died
on the 18th. The leading topic OF con-
yersation is Of course concerning his
death, and the political changes involved
by it. The death of Lord Palmerston
was occasioned by the govt and inhsm-
nation of the bladder. and was more sud
den than his family had anticipated.
The funeral would take place on the 23d
ult., and would be private. The queen
had written letter of sympathy and
,-ccndolence to Lady Palmerston, and ex-
pressions of the most cordial sympathy
crowded in from all quarters. The Lon
don papers all speak in complimentary
terms of his official career. The Daily
News contrasts him with Richard Cob
den and Abraham Lincoln, and says
that although Lord Palmerston filled a
larger space in the worlds field of view
than either of these men, he leaves less
by which he will be known, for there was
never principle to which he devoted
himself. The French papers regard the
change of British premers as likely to
affect England first and most especially
and afterwards, probably. all Europe
The effect of Lord Palmerston's death
upon the British markets was depressing.
The queen would return from Scotland
at once, and Earl Russell had been di-
rectea to form new cabinet, and had
called a cabinet council for the Goth ult
The Times thinks Earl Russell rather too
old to be made PREMIER snubs Lord Clar-
endon and thinks Mr.. Gladstone the man
for the place. 1t, however, thinks that If
Earl Russell fails to form cabinet, Goa
lition between the different sections OF the
liberals will become necessary, and that
Lord Granville will probably be the per-
son under whom the greatest number Of
men will serve. The Times and the
other leading journals express some seri-
Gus apprehenslons for the future, and unite
in thinking that no more changes will be
made at present than are absolutely nee,
essary.

ST., N. Y. Consignments respectfully solicit
ed.
New YORK, Nov. 4th, 1860.
The stringency of the money market
during the past week has, as in other ar
ticles of produce, somewhat restricted the
trade in Hops. Although with light re-
ceipts, the market evinces increased hrm'
hess, and holders are averse to forcing
sales at prices below their former views
or making any concession whatever, an
ticipating no decline in prices SO long as
the supply in market is not materially
increased by importations.
With continued stringency in money
matters, however. the prevailing opinion
seems to be, that prices on all KINDS o,
produce must come down; but. III Vle"0'
the extreme scarcity Of desirable HOPS
We do not think the market in TINS to
spect will be materially influenced. A."
The violent fluctuations in the hop
market from one week to onother, rem
ders most opinions speculative; therefore
it is better for every one dealing in the
article to be governed by the signs OF inc
times, and act more upon his own JUG
ment and discretion, as there always +" .
diversity of opinion.
