New YORK, Nov. 25.-Gen. But
ler delivered lecture last evening
at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
on the subject of reorganization o
the South. He was attentively lis
tened to by q large audience. HI
said that neither political expedi
ents, conventions, nor the President
nor Congress were able to compass
reorganizations; all devices ofstates
men and universal freedom canno
accomplish it; impartial suffrage viii
only add to the danger. The only
safety is in universal education-in
tcllectual and religious. The com
mon school and the Church are tn
only bases upon which the Soutl
can be safely and permanently re
constructed.
Butler argued that there is power
in Congress to establish schools il
the South under the clause of th'
Constitution which says, Congress
shall have power to provide for tn
common defence and general welfar
of the United States.
On the subject of the Impeachment
of the President, he claims that al
improper public speech of higl
official is sufficient ground; that
Senate from which members iron
eleven States are excluded. and som
of them expelled, is legally higl
court of impeachment; that if ac
cused neglects or refuses to appea
before the Senate when summoned
he NAV be tried and convicted an
deposed from office in his absence
that all powers of impeachment ar
derived from the English law. an
that according to all law and prece
dent the President if impeached
must be prevented from exercising
the functions of his Office.
Butler enumerated the charges b
had to make against the Presiden
as impeachable offences, namely:
First--Drunkenness in Office.
Second-Making indecent and in
flammatory harangues.
Third-Tyranically and uncor
stitutionally as Chief Executive o
ficer usurping the lawful rights an
powers Of Congress in appointin

ments and assumption ofpOwer
