The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1866-04-15

RADICAL Loe1o.-Butler thought
be made a good point when he used
the following language in speaking Of
the negro troops: s'Who shall say
that such men, SO willingly periing
their lives to save the country, are
not fit to take part in the choosing of
their own rulers and in enacting their
own laws in the country which they
have helped to save from their rebel
ious foes?" Very we'll. But putting
aside the important fact that this
''help" was largely due to the draft,
and to enormous bounties. and to
substitutes from Massachusetts,, we
find the logic of this about as good as
that to which old Sam. Johnson OBJ
iected on having his attention called
to the vigor of the line "who rules
Ger freemen should himself be free. y
eyes" returned the logical old bear.
'just as true as this, who slays fat
oxen should himself be fat. +" But
ler's reasoning won't do. Let him
quit logic and give rs something
else--an essay, for example. Life
IN Bottle" or "Woman and Her
Oppressors, would suit his calibre.

HEAVY DEFALcATIoN OF A CHICAGO
BROKER. A despatch from Chicago,
dated the 4th, says:
There is some excitement in finan.
cial circles, caused by the defa. cation
of Is. FL. Badger, a stock broker and
gold speculator of this city. The
immediate cause of his failure is re-
ported to be losses sustained by the
decline in gold. The principal suf-
terers are merchants, and the Second
National Bank Of this city, who pnr-
chased from Mr.. Badger, yesterday,
New York exchange to the amount of
S23, 900, for which Mr.. B. promised
to bring gold to the amount of 500
600 as security for payment of drafts
on New York, but which promise he
failed to keep. Besides these drafts
there are other checks outstanding.
