Butler and the Radical Gem


The New York Times (Republi-
can) hits of Ben. Butler and the
Radical Congress in the following
fclicitous style:
Gen. Butler is determined to I'M
peach somebody or something. He
went to Congress for that express
purpose, and does not intend to be
baked, He preferred the President,
naturally enough. but as Congress
declines to crafty him in that re-
spect, he is willing to compromise
on our Custom-house Collector. He
is as accommodating as the politician
who called on President Jackson to
demand the mission to England as
the reward of his services, but on
being refused this and everything
else on the descending scale, said he
would be satisfied if the President
would give him some old clothes.
Mr.. Hulburd offered a resolution in
the House requesting the President
to remove Collector Smythe But
Gen. Butler resists this and insists
on impeachment. We rather favor
that proposition. Congress has the
right undoubtedly to impeach any
office holder and we should rather
like, for the novelty Of the thing, to
see them do something which, they
have 2 RIGHT to do.

You come rather late TO your pedestal John
For sooner You should have been here;
For the volume you hold is no longer the

The old Marshall-law, yop eNpounded Of
yore,
Ia now not at all to the purpose;
And the maltial-law Of the new Brigadier

So keep you the volume shut with care,

And it needs all your brass 10 be holding il

Dust Returning to Dust.

1t is asserted by scientific writers
that the number Of persons who ax-
listed on our globe since the beginning
of time, amounts to 36,627, s45, 273,
075, 256. These figures when di-
,vidcd by 3,095, Q00--the number of
square leagues on the globes--leave
1880, $50, 632 square miles ofland;
which being divided as before, give
l,314, 622,076 persons to each
square mile. If we reduce these
miles to square rods, the number
will be 1858, TIA, 500, 600; which
divided in like manner, viii give l,
2s3, inhabitants to each square rod;
and these being reduced to feet,
will give about fiyo to each square
foot of terra frma,
1t will thus be perceived that our
earth is vast cemetery. On each
square rod Of it l, 2S3 human beings
lie buried, each rod being scarcely
sufficient for ten graves, with each
grave containing LIS persons. The
whole surface of our globe, therefore,
has been dug over 1873 times to
hurry it's dead How literally true
the declaration Of tho poet
There is not dust that floats on air
But once was living man.

How 1T WoRKs.-Somc years ago
one Sherman NJ. Booth, of Wiscon-
sin made himself prominent in re-
sisting the U. S. laws relative to
fugitive slaves, for which he
was, if We remember right, con-
victcd, fined and imprisoned, &c. 49,
This was at a time when there was
yet left little respect for the Con-
stitution and the laws, but that
virtue finding no place in the mon
grel party Of to-day, they now, by a
solemn act of their legislature en-
dorse the riotous and illegal conduct
Of said Booth, and refund to him
$4,000 as expenses &C., incurred
in his opon treason against the laws
of the country.
The St. Paul Pioneer abiding tc
matter, says:
'If the loyal State Of Wisconsin
''makes treason odius'' by paying
Sherman Booths expenses in resist
ing the laws and authorities of thu
United States, Congress ought t.
pay old John Browns expenses il
being hung for the same offence.
1t is most fragrant outrage o.
the cold hero and martyr" to MAKE
such an invidious distinction. Ant
what will tho friends of Wilkes
Booth say?"
