THE BULLY BUTLER.


B. F. Butler, who has worldwide renown
for war upon helpless households, especially
where gold and jewelry abound, has been spout
ing through the country at the rate of $3.50
a day, exhibiting mortal and undying grudge
against Gen. Grant for saying that he was bot
tied up at Bermuda He has managed, too, to
get nomination for Congress in district adj
Joining his residence, much to the annoyance
of the better portion of the Radicals, who pro-
test against having such a venomous scold toist-
edupon them-one whose animosties are prom
inent in all he says or does.
He sees before him, now that the South is
disarmed, new fields of plumber, rich returns
from the confiscated cotton plantations, inclu-
ded in the last programme of the radical lead
ers. His impudencc in the last movement is
unequalled, and the forteth Congress will be
noted for having two of the vilest drabs that
ever disgraced legislative body-Stevens and
Butler-par mobile f'atrum.

The Radical Extremists.

In an article on the demands Of the Radical par
ty, the New York Times says:-
Someofthe consequences of the temper which
these extremists have introduced into the dis
cussion of the grave questions before the coun-
try are apparent in the lawless threats which
are now prevalent from Maryland to Missouri.
EVERYWHERE the Radicals of the ultra strife
seem disposed to take matters into their own
hands. and to assert their right to rule, whether
the law gives them warrant or not From
Baltimore, for instance, we hear of armed or
carnations, of appeals for physical aid of pre-
parations for street conflict. And for what
purpose? And under what provocation p
Why, in view of the possible removal by Gov
Swami of Police Commissioners who are charg-
ed with violation of duty The law makes the
Governor the Judge during the recess of the
Legislature; the case is brought before him in
Conformity with law, and he declares his resolve
to be governed by the law in any action he
may take. His position in the premises is
legally impregnable, and the spirit in which he
approaches his duty-judging from Unsupported
remarks-is unobjectionable. If his decision
be at variance with law, the law furnishes the
means of redress. Yet, forsooth, the Radical
faction declare that, law or no law, the Police
Commissioners shall not be removed, and pre-
paratons have been made by the mob for armed
resistance to the lawful authority Of the State
Executive. The same violent ~r,l awesS tenn
per is discernible elsewhere, in missouri especi
ally; the doctrine acted upon by the Radicals
apparently being that, under the pretence of
superior loyalty, they are at liberty to plunge
the country afresh into strife and armed con-
tention.
National safety requires the maintenance of
law, whether against Radicals or Rebels, and
the prevention of trouble by Fastening the res
toration of the Union on the moderate basis
prescribed by the Republican party. BY this
method, more readily than by any other, may
the revolutionary schemes of the Radicals be
efectualY frustrated.

Proclamation by the Governor.

Governor Swami, it will beseen, attaches such
consequence to certain manifestations by par
ties inside as we'll as outside of the State in an
tagonism of the proceedings now pending be-
fore him under the laws relative to the police
commissioners as to lead him to issue procla-
ton on the subject. He solemnly warns the
leaders of all % illegal and revolutionary combi-
nations against the peace and dignity of the
State that in the event of riot or bloodshed
growing out of these revolutionary proceedings
they will be held to the strictcst accountability
and the power of the State will be exhausted to
bring them to prompt andmerited punishment"
The Governor indicates that it has come to his
knowledge that not only are military and other
combinations forming in the city of Baltimore
for the purpose of obstructing and resisting the
execution Of the laws of the State, but there is
reason to believe that similar combinations are
attempted to be organized in other States, with
the intention of invading the soil of Maryland
to deprive her citizens of their just rights under
the laws, and to control the people OF the State
by violence and intimidation. This Is very
serious aspect of the case, and the punishments
provided by the statute on the subject are Sc
we're "Levying war against the State pun
ishable by death, or Imprisonment In the peni-
Tertiary for not less than SIX nor more than
twenty years; and other sections are as follows:
Subsection s. If any person shall consplre
or combine with others to levy war against this
State, or to give aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof, whether foreign or domestic, within
this State or elsewhere, and be convicted there
of. he shall be sentenced to confinement in the
penitentiary for not less than two years, nor
more than six years, or to fine not exceeding
five thousand dollars, at the discretion of the
court.

any person within the State who shall Seduce,
entice or persuade any other person to commit
any of the offences med.-BdltimOre SIN.

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

We still hear clamorS about resumption OF
specie payments, and this without regard to
condition of the metallic basis. The whole a
mount of specie in the country was estimated
by Secretary Chase, in one of his reports, at
two hundred and ten millions. This is not one
tenth of the amount needed for full circula-
ton. The present capital of the National
Banks is three hundred millions, and the circu-
lation of the United States Treasury notes must
be at least eight hundred millions.
How, then, is this amount of paper to be
withdrawn and its place supplied by the small
amount of specie estimated by Mr. Chase p
The idea is preposterous, and the sooner the
people make up their minds to be content with
paper money the better. We have no belief
in return to a specie circulation for ten years
to come. The present National Bank system
is an absurdity. Paper based on paper is like
building a house on sand. The government
never should have issued any other currency
than the legal tender notes.

A word for the NEGROES.

have been endeavorng to incite the colored Popu

lsten to the teachings of these fanatcal creatures

colored people of this community, whom we know
are naturally disposed to good behavior, and who
have, heretofore, with few exceptions, demeaned
themselves with commendable propriety, TO rio
themselves of the influence of those few white crea
lures who, under the guise Of friendship, are ben
upon their destruction. We conjure them to re
member that "eyil communications corrupt gOoC
manners" 1t is to their best interests 20 spurn til,
evil Vaccinations of these wicked persons.
We would advise the parties chiefly instrumen
tai in exciting bitter feeling in negro popula
ton towards our citizens, that their movements are
not unnotced, and if they continue in their wicked
designs speedy retribution may follow their mis-
deeds.

A SECOND FALLsTAFF.

B. f. Butler, who wore two stars during a
great portion of the late war, but who never
risked his own person within gunshot of an
enemy, is now ventiating his blood-and-thun-
der doctrines out West In late speech he
unbottled his venom, and let fly at Gen. Grant
and the regular army in this wise:
=" We are told that if Congress shall proceed
to exercise their rightful authority, that then
there will be tried the strength of this Govern
ment, that the President will call upon thearmy
and navy, and the army and navy will obey
him. Let there be no fear about that, because
the army and the navy of the United States are
not those few men that are in the regular SER
vice.
q have no desire to disparage either the pa
triotsm or the integrity of the army of the
United States, but if the army as such, or any
portion of it, or any officer of it, shall so far for
get the duties he owes to his flag, and to his pro-
fession as a soldier, as to answer any but the
legal call of his country, that small body of
men will be swept from the face of the country
as a cobweb is swept away before the rising OF
the morning sun.
He is keen for an impeachment of the Presi-
dent. What is thought of this stuff by reflect
ing Republicans may be gathered from the fol-
lowing extracts from a late article in the Gin
cinnati Commercial:
"There are few persons in this country so
wanting in intelligence as to be unaware that
the impeachment of the President would, at any
time, be very serious business, and that, in
these disturbed times, it would be hazardous
experiment It would be, therefore, most inn
prudent to undertake it unless there was actual
" clear case of high crime and misdemeanor,
as contemplated by the Constitution. An i'm
parchment upon such an indictment as Gene
raj Butler has presented would be at the immi-
nent hazard Of civil war; and of one thing all
agitators may be assured, and we desire to serve
notice upon them to that effect, that the over
bearing weight of the fighting power of the
people Of this country will be against those who
begin the fight.
1.-The flippancy with which General Butler
speaks of civil war is unpleasant; his eagerness
otdisplay his animoSity toward the regulararmy
is painfully suggestive of the unfortunate in
completeness of his military career. General
Butler has an intense hatred of General Grant,
and regards him as a rival for the Presidency
hence the talk of the boys in blue and the in
cidental destruction of the regular army. We
have only to say of this that General Grant has
the confidence of the country; that there is an
assurance of safety in his position at the head
Of the army and the public recognition of his
sound discretion. If we should be drifting into
another war, we wish the boys in blue far bet
ter luck than to be commanded in the field by
Benjamin +. Butler, unless he should show a
wonderful Improvement upon any exploits thus
far recorded of him"

CIRCUIT COURT OF BERKELEY

Our readers have already been appriscd that
ia consequence of the sickness of Judge Hall,
the business of the Court has been postponed
until our regular November term. His Honor
had sufficiently recovered to hold, for few
hours, brief special term. This was limited
to call of the Office Judgment Docket-to
the filing of Pleas and the confirmation of judg-
ments in uncontested cases.
During thesame session his Honor Announced
his opinion upon question of great practical
importance to the people of this county and
Circuit. 1t IS that persons who were concerned
in the rebellion and thus disabled from sucing
by the provisions of the Act of the 2Sth of Feb
ruary, 1865, may nevertheless make a bona i'de
assignment of their claim, and that the assignee
may maintain the suit in his name This ques-
ton was argued very deliberately at the Nay
term of our Circuit Court, in favor Of such right
of assignment, by Mr.. Faulkner, upon a point
presented in the case Of Boarman VS. Bohda.-
We think this just and sound decision, in
perfect conformity to the intention and spirit
of the law of 1865, and decision calculated
to give great relief to the business and indus
trial pursuits of the Circuit.-New Era.

The Final Rally.

The above was the caption of large poster which
was conspicuouly placed in Shepherdstown, an
nouncing that many honorable" including Gov.
Foreman, the radical candidate for reelection and
Senator Wiley would address the unconditional
Union" men in that town at o'clock on Monday
last. Judge Hall, to the Inconvenience Of jurors,
litigants witnesses, and others, gave recess for
the purpose, thus securing the presence of Judge,
jury, and members of the bar together with few
outside listeners, numbering altogether about IS.
Senator Wiley spoke for an hour or more. We
did not hear all the speaker said-our time being
otherwise occuped-but found that he discuss
ed nothing which had not become stale through the
Radical Press of the country. Whilst he uttered
some truisms in reference to late troubles, he
omitted many facts, thereby intending to deceive
las hearers.
The negro question-that inexhaustible theme
of all demagogues-occupied much of his time.
He ventilated largely upon the magnanimity of
the couqucrcrs towards the late rebels, in permit
ting them to enjoy eren life. On this subject he is
not behind Beast" Butler or Thaddeus Stevens, in
venom.
He was not spare in abuse of President johnson,
because, forsooth, the President will not agree
to trampe under foot the Constitution Of the United
States
We have not space to notice other portions ofhis
remarks which we heard but as he presented no
thing which had not become absolutely threadbare
the honorable Senator might as well remained al
home, as we feel well assured he made no converts
in the little assemblage of jurors, witnesses, &C.,
who were compelled to listen to him.
We heard it stated in Shepherdstown that Sena-
tor Wiley is nephew of the notorious Old John
Brown. This, we presume, is mistake, original.
ing, doubtless, from the strong likeness not only in
personal appearance but in principle of that old
murderer.
