BUTLER BACKS DowN.-During the de-
bate in the House on Friday Mr.. Butler
was asked simple question, which exposed
at once his meanness and hypocrisy. The
second question is the one we allude to:
Mr.. Getz inquired whether Mr.. Butler
meant that they would be welcomed
with bloody hands to hospitable graves
Mr. Butter said he did not mean that.
The negro was kind, amiable person, and
whenever gentlemen should fall in such an
unhallowed contest they would be kindly
cared for with tenderness and mercy. The
negro had fought for the country, and
would fight for himself whenever he was
attacked, and not till then. 1t was said
that there was about to be a var Of races
Why should the negro rise If, as the gen
tleman from New York [Mr. Brooks] con-
tended, they we're now on top? They
could not get any higher. He had listened
| TO all such false prophecies, but he would
say that the party to which he belonged
would take no step backward.
Mr.. Randall would like to know the
gentlemau's own plan; for he had seen ii
intimated that he had plan to Introduce
negro voting in Pennsylvania and other
States.
Mr.. Butler declared that he had no such
plan, as he never forced anything upon
anybody that did not deserve it.
Mr.. Randall remarked that he knew be
Mr.. Butlerl had not forced much on the
rebels,

News from the Capital.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, December 20.-Mr. VIII
ley presented in the Senate to-day a me-
mortal, which was referred to the Judi
ciary Committee, from S. D. Williamson,
John HawxhurSt, and Thomas Bayne (co-
lored), a committee of the Virginia State
Convention James W. Hunnicutt, John
L. G. Banner, Joseph Cox (colored),
James Morrissey, and others, praying Con-
gress to adopt such measures as will enable
the Convention to remove out of its way
all obstacles to successful reconstruction
Of the State.
The memorial sets forth that there is a
body of men in the South, skilled in the
arts of political intrigue, who are doing all
they can to intimidate and Cypress the
loyal men, especially their former slaves,
and deter them from ratifying, at the next
election, the constitution which the Con-
stitutional Convention may adopt. 1t also
asks at the hands of Congress the power
of vacating the present Offices of the 60
vernment Of Virginia, many of which, it is
alleged, are filled by disloyal men, and
filling the same with persons who may be
acceptable to the complexion of the body
Of which the memorialists are members.
IF this can be effected in no other man
ner, Congress is petitioned to convert the
State into territorial status.
This memorial meets with no favor save
from few of the most extreme Radicals.
Contrary to general expectation, the
President did not to-day return to Con-
gress, with his objections to its passage, the
bill striking out the word white from all
laws of the District of Columbia. AS it
was conceded that Mr.. Johnson would not
approve the bill, it was believed he would,
of course, submit his veto to Congress
before the adjournment for the holidays,
but the President, in the exercise OF
his constitutional discretion, deemed it
his duty to permit the bill to die
by the action Of Congress itself
namely, by the adjournment of that body
before the expiration Of the ten days from
the hour the Executive was officially mott
fed of the passage Of the bill. That Motif
cation was made at fifteen minutes Of
II o'clock on the 18th instant so that the
ten days, excluding Sundays, expire on
Monday morning next. WALLACE.

Major Young sent back to their constitu.
ents. The Committee on Elections de-
termined, much to the chagrin of the ex.
tremists, not to seat the minority contest

leans and Opelousas railroad had complied
with the terms of the grant. The matter
was finally postponed to the second Thurs,
day in January.
The Reconstruction Committee was al,
lowed clerk.
There being barely quorum, the House
adjourned.

asking an increase Of the currency was
referred.
A memorial signed by forty presidents
and professors in colleges asking the aboli.
ton Of the tax on philosophical instru.
ments was referred.
The cotton tax bill was resumed, and
wide and wild views were expressed
Pending this, and without reaching the
House amendment to the reconstruction
acts, the Senate adjourned.

Beast Butler and General Hancock.

correspondence Of the Public Ledger.
NEW YORK, December 1S.-The Presi-
dents message in reference to General
Hancock is the subject Of much remark
with the politicians. Some of the Repub-
llcans on 'Change expressed the opinion
that the only motive for writing it was a
desire to further irritate Congress. The
Democrats, per contra, are delighted with
it, and say if Congress fail to give Han
cock the recognition " recommended by
the President they will call public meet
ing in the Park forthwith to make good the
default.
The Supreme Court of this State this
morning rendered decision against Gen
cral Butler, who, as executor of bis
brother, the late Andrew J. Butler, re-
fused to make return to the surrogate OF
the property belonging to deceased out OF
as well as in this State. The decision de-
clares that executors must return inven-
tories of ell the personal property of their
