The New York Citizen publishes a fam
eiful account Of a dinner given by its en-
ployees. Some of the letters from distin-
guished personages, invited to be present
IN the occasion, are rather juicy. The late
Maori General B. F. Butler certainly has
no reason to complain of the following,
which is as good as if he had done it him
self:
.fBoa 70 ssiE LOWELL, Jan. IA, 1866.
GENTLEMEE:-I have to acknowledge
the receipt of no invitation to attend the
Annual Citizen Dinner. Please accept nv
thanks for this kind forbsaranee on your
part, as it would have been quite impossi-
bic for me to be present, by reason Of
being eorked up.
ss - Yours, etc., B. F. BUTLER,
Late Major-General Commanding the
Bottled Brigade.
The next was a joint note from Presi-
dent Johnson and Wendell Phillips, and
read as follows;

ara EXPERIMENTS WITH A New GUN
Some interesting experiments with
Cuttings improved battery gun have
been in progress at Fortress Monroe for
the past three weeks, under the super
vision Of the Ordnance Department, and
the results speak most favOrnbly for the
new projectile. Most of the experiments
have been made i'm con junction with a
tweniy-fOur FOUNDER flank howitzer.-
Where the howitzer throwing canister
hit the target once the missiles from this
gun hit it six times, both at short and
long range, the former from three hun
dred to four hundred yards distant, and
the latter at the distance of from one
and a half to two miles. The howitzer
did not shoot at long range. This gun is
arevOlving gun of six chambers, and,ca-
pable of shooting one hundred times
minute. AT short range it threw fifteen
one-half inch balls, contained in each
cartridge, aud a cap ball, making six
teen missiles at each discharge, and six
teen hundred missiles minute. AT |
long range it fired a half pound of Min
ME balls. Its capacity to load and fire
necessarily while revolving, its freedom
from tOulness, and its accuracy have
astonished every one witnessing the eX-
pcriments. Three iuen can manage it, |
and its cost will not exceed that OF the
ordinary cannon. The inventor pro-
poses not to give any other nation the
benefit OF the invention, whether our
Government adopts his invention or not.

nA- Hon. w. B. Stokes, of Tennessee,
made speech at Nashyille a few even
ings since, In which he Describes tho
appearance Of Vice President johnson at
the Inauguration Ball:
t"'You have heard what took place at
the great ball given on the night of the
second Inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln.-
There Is a man here, probably, who
knows all about It. An immense con-
course of people filled the Executive
Mansion. The intelligent, beauty,
statesmen and soldiers ofthe nation were
present. 1t WAS glorious, august, i'm
posing assembly. The Vice President
was too weafy, or Mmid, or sick, or some-
thing else, to escort Mrs. Lincoln, as
was customary for one in his position on
such an occasion, so Mr.. Sumner had 10
walt upon the lady. johnson sat on a
sofa in the back Of the room with col
ored man by his side, soliloquizing as
follows: I'm Vice President of these
United States! I've taken the oath and
been sworn in, by God! Sumner says
I'm from the territory of Tennessee.
There he goes now with the Queen! I've
taken the oath and I'm Vice President
and he says, that I'm from the territory
of Tennessee! There he goes with the
Queen, and I'm here sitting with my
colored friend on a sofa. Pm better
friend of the black man than he is. His
is theoretical and mine is practical
friendship. Just look at me sitting by
my colored friend, by God!' Such was
the scene at the Inauguration Ball.

The New York Anti-Rent Troubles
Explained. mS

The New York Ambient Troubles
- Explained. ws
The 40 rent troubles, which have
recently been again brought to public
attention. are thus explained by cores
stnrndent 81 the Journal of Commerce.:
svThe anti-rent troubles are owing to
the misplaced and unwise lenity of the
late General Stephen Van Rensselaer,,
Of Albany. His large tracts Of land east
of Albany, In the now anti-rent districts,
were divided into farms, and leased to
the farmers at very low rents. The
farmers came to him every year with
long faces about poor crops, and asked
him to walt till next year for the rent.
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, was liberal and
kind, and let the rent remain unpaid.
The next year, and for, many years, the
story was Just the same, and the patron
very inprudently consented to let the
debt 20 on accumulating. He should
have either make them pay rs their
rents came due like John Jacob Astor)
or he shot,ld have given them the debt.
But he cid neither and at his death, In
January, 1889, he left all these unpaid
rents, as so much good property, to his
children, aud when the farmers were
called upon to pay their back rent OF
ten, fifteen, or twenty years standing
they said at once, "Your father did no,
require US to pay rent, and we will moi
pay YOU" Hence it is seen that thu
misplaced lenity Of Mr. Van Rensselaer,
is the cause of all the anti-rent, troubles
in Albany county the last twenty years
