BUTLER's LETTER TO GOVERNOR ANDREws,-In
May, 1861, Ben Butler, then in command of a Mas
sachusetts regiment at Annapolis, Md, rendered
the services Of his troops to quell any attempt Of
the negroes to assert their freedom. This called
forth letter of censure from Gov. Andrews, who
protested against using for any such purpose
troops raised in, Massachusetts. The reply made
by Butler was regardedbY his friends as the ablest
production Of his lie and completely siIenced the
.elamor OF the governor. He declared that it was
his purpose to enforce the laws, and not alone
against white men in rebellion, but against blacks
also; that to seek the aid of negroes against the
Southern population, would be disgrace to the
civilization ofthe age that the action of Britain
in using the Indian tornahaWE and scalpinr knife
against the Colonies, would be rendered respect-
able in history by the iniQmy which would attach
to the North if itplaeed the defenseless women
and children Of the South at the mercy of the ne
gro This was Buffers position in the early stages
OF the war but as the contest went forward, and
as his opportunities for making money grew with
the desperation with which h0stilities were CON
Quoted. he readily abandoned his earlier position,
and at length was guilty Of acts and became the
advocate Of measures which have secured for him
an unenEiable n0toriety wherever his name is
Known. For political purposes, men are willing
to use him; but his career has been such that no
considerable number ofpersons in any community
either respect him as a man or repose confidence
IN him as a patriot Cleveland Plaindealer.

ANCIENT RELIc-We received beautiful pres
ent from Democratic lady friend yesterday, as
Keepsake which, on account of its novelty and an
tiqulty, we shall describe It is a medal of solid
slyeri round, and over a1 inch in diameter. On
oneside, in has relief is the figure of the goddess
of liberty, encreled with thirteen stars on the
reverse we observe an American eagle grasping
an olive. branch in one claw and some Indian ar
rows in the other; over the eagle, the words
'%United States Of America can be distinctly
seen; beneath it the mysterious letters % Half
Doi.Y We are assured that in former times
when quaint old fogies had the management of
affairs, this medal circulated among the WORKING
people, and that one might 90 10 market with
his basket and fill it for the piece. What strange
memories these relics now bring to mind. We
keep it to encourage our failing sight. All well

Attention is called to the manner in which,
since his advent into Office, Mayor Monroe has
made his appointments and changes On the police,
and his disregard of the recommendation and .ad-
vice of the chief. His appointment OF Lucien Ad-

THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

In regard to the chief of police and his share of
responsibility for the riot it will be remarked that
he was but a subordinate carrying out the orders
Of his superior. The board are inclined to regard
him as well disposed in the main, and only regret
thathe should have thoughtithis duty resignratt
er than to aid in executing a programme of which
he must have forseen the result. There is but one
pointqn which his testimony may be regarded as
<inyalidated. In common with the mayor and thbe
police generally, he denies the giving of any or
ders to arm. If the evidence Of the policeman
Dorsey, and the clerk and telegraph operator Ca,
zeaux, is to be credited such orders were sent by
the mayor, through the chief and subordinates, on
Sunday.

MEETING OF THE CONVENTION.

II appears that. the convention met called the
roll, and adjourned for hour to procure the at
tendance OF absent members. According, to the
universal testimony, with single exception no
member Of the convention was armed; and they
had not only determined to make no opposition to
an arrest, but had made all arrangements for pro-
curing their release on hd6eaS corpus.

MAYOR MONROE.

The board are reluctantly compelled to discredit
the mayor, and to believe that he knew that not
soldier had been asked for; and that when he
massed his armed police and held them aloof from
the building, no barrier remained between the
convention and negroes and the infuriated cit
zens, with whose threats the city was yet ringing,
except his papeEp proclamation. He states, more
over, thathe knew that the hatred of the mob
toward the convention and the negroes was shared
by his police. In this state of affairs, should the
negroes assemble many lumber, a collision might
be considered inevitable, and an attack by the
the spoIice--massed, armed and ready-are let
loose upon the scene to ssquell the riot'' How
they did qnel twill appear from the evidence.

In connection with the subject of marks and
badges the board would call attention to the very
significant fact, testified to by many witnesses,
that the police, in many instances, had reversed
their hatrbands aud thereby concealed their mum.

y
OF the further occurrences OF the day of riot.
the board would respectfully call attention to the
brutal treatment and almost inhuman neglect OF
the wounded and dead prisoners at the various
station-houses, before they -were by military or
ders, removed to the hospitals. The evidence OF
Lieut. Col. Crosby, Major Sheridan and DR.. Avery
on this pointshoWs as horrible scene of suffering
and neglect as could have been presented on 0
lost battlefield, '
They would also call attention to the evidence
on the subject Of the renewal of the attack onne.
groes, and the shooting of them in their dwellings
by both citizens and police, late on the same
night, IN Victory street.
THE PRESENCE OF THE TROOPS. sr
The board will state it rs their firm conviction,
that but for the declaration of martial law, and
the presence of the troops, fire and hloodshed
would have ragged throughout the night in all ne
gro quarters throughout the city, and that the
lives and properly, Of Uuionists and. Northern
men would have been at the mercy of the mob.
The conseryators Of the peace being for the time
the instigators of violence, nothing would have
remained but in artning fer self-defense and
scene might have ensued unparalleled inpthe his
tory of the age. As in the Gordon riots in Lon
don, and the more recent draftriots in New York
the affair would have passed beyond the power of
the originaiors into the hands of that class whose
only object would have been plumber and destruc7
ton irrespective of party. In the boards opin-
ion 8he property of the Southern merchant, not
