TnE removal Of Co. ButIer ia not a

The removal of Gen. Butler is not a
cause for regret, and we are among those
who regard it as fortunate circums lance
at this juucture. His abilities as an exec
utive are great, bat outside of New Or
leans he has, on the whole, been of question.
able service to the country. His military
career, beginning at Big Bethel, eliminated
at Wilmington, and this last failure has
afforded the President an opportunity to
do what we have no doubt he has long
desired to do. Having witnessed Gen.
Butler seeding in 1860 along with the FIRE
eaters from the South, and pretending to
represent the anti.slavery State of. Massa-
chusetts in their schism attic body, we never
afterwards took much account of his
extreme pretensions the other way.
Naturally high handed be has lately uu-
dertakeu to usurp the civil functions be-

government of Virginia, aud he went 80 far

it's legal existence. His great lack seems

balance in his organization, and no man
without such a balance can long maintain
Il great influence. He may be smart and
even comprehensive, as General Butler is,
but the radical defect will gradually tell
against him at last.

We observe with great deal of interest
that our old friend, Elk judge Thompson,
is about 10 become nn author once more.
Amidst ali his troubles and persecutions
the Judge has not been idle. Like Raleigh
in prison or Bacon in disgrace, he has be-
guiled his expatriation from office in elmi-
nation of new ideas, new PHILOSOPHERS, new
methods, in fact in the discovery of new
"NoVum Organum" The last three or four
years has afforded the Judge the necessary
leisure to re-e1amine the wonderful pro-
auctions of his earlier days, and he has
found that the category of the Infinite
rs idea of development must be reject
ed" entirely, aud something better substi-
tuted in its place.
Accordingly he has finished up a lot of
lucubrations that have been on his mind in
AN embryo coalition "during twenty years
past" and has had them copyrighted and
patented under the name of 1.-THE Temple
and the WorehiPpers." The Judge claims
that he has presented to the world "a new
method of reasoning and attaining correct
results 10 moral and philosophical ques-
tions," and We have no doubt that this is
the flc,. There is also an other thing that
we have no doubt Of, viz:-that at is not
a book to be Carelessly read, but to be
closely studied. The category of the In
faults" was book of that sort. The work
fs to make volume of "three hundred
pages IL no." and is to cost "AbOut one
dollar aud fifty cents per copy"
Everybody in town ought to have copy
OF this work of the Judges. There is no
telling what it may contain. We have
always had an idea that the Judge was at
something or other during the last two or
three years besides watching Gov. Peir-
point and Col. Joe Darr. And now we
know it.

Connecticut elects new Governor next
spring, because Governor Buckingham an
nounces his preference to retire from the
office, after having filled it with distin-
guished honor during eight eventful years.
The succession will, it is supposed, devOlve
upon General Joseph B. Hawley, of Hart
ford, editor of the Press; but however
this may be, there is an evident desire,
honorable alike in its inception and its
object, to confer upon Governor Bucking-
ham the United States Senatorship soon to
be vacated by his honorable tOwnsman,
Mr.. Foster, now acting Vice President of
the United States. Mr.. Fosters term ex-
pires in 1867, being the completion of
twelve years in the Senate.
