NEW YORK, February S.-The coun-
sci forSPellicier, recently convicted OF
the murder of Senior Otero, in Brook
| lyn, has given notice of his intention 70
move for new trial of the case on the
ground that testimony sufficient to ex-
culpate the prisoner can be produced.
The Herald's Washington special
saws that the fact is published that In
response to one of General Grants cards
of Invitation to his recent reception,
General Butler addressed very curt
note of declination, stating that he
neither wished to hold personal inter
course with the Lieutenant General or
his family, and must decline the pres
emit or any future protfer in that dtrec-
ton, General Grant, good naturedly
destroyed the note as soon as received,
determined if it ever appeared In print
to know positively that 1t was furnish
ed by General Butler himself. Cher
ishing no personal ill-win toward Cen
eral Butler, he invited him among
other celebrities, and feels that in doing
SO he placed himself right on the record.
The Tribune's Washington special
says: Avery large crowd was at the
White House yesterday awaiting au-
dience. Four delegations were in at
tendance, one of Is, from Montana
Territory, urging the necessities OF that
Territory in regard to public roads, and
bringing with them many specimens
of auriferous wealth. lTf7
The colored delegation occupied
nearly an hour, but at l o'clock the SUI
perintendent of the public schools now
holding Convention in this city, were
presented by Mr.. Northrup of the Mas
sachusetts Board of Education and the
President of the Convention. The in
terview was cordial and pleasant.
The Postoffice Department lately adj
yertised for bids for carrying the mails
T.. IN fHanrfrfa MiSRIRSinni.
Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas.
Only SO4 bids were made and as many
of them are duplicates and triplicateS
it is not probable that half the routes
will be let. In some cases the price
asked is higher than it was in 1860, all
though the number of letters carried
will be much less. The South makes
haste slowly to supply herself with
postal facilities.
The Tribune's special says the First
National Bank of Fort Smith, Arkan-
sas, capital $4,000, and the National
Bank OF Newbern, North Carolina, cap
