BUTLER VS.. GRANT-It is stated
that the vindictive editorials in the
New York Tribune are by General b.
+. Butler. He is franking the num-
bers of the Tribune containing his
articles all over the country. The
present programme of the radicals
is to destroy Grant, because he in
terfered with their plans in accepting
the Office of Secretary of War, and
for removing Sheridan and Sickles.

THE POLITICAL CONFLICT AT WASH
1NaToN.-A special despatch to the
New York Herald says:
There never was O time when the
national capital was more full of
startling rumors, and when sensations
were to be had more plentifully than
at the present time. Every day there
is some new excitement turning ND
which keeps newspaper men in a
ferment, and throws the public into
the height of expectation and anxiety.
The fact is, there is q fierce politi-
cal storm brewing. All the indica-
tlons point that way, and show that
the strife between the President and
Congress, which has been growing
and increasing daily, must soon burst
out into something more serious
than mere wordy clashes, something
worse than threats and vituperation.
On one side is n President un-
shaken in his convictions of his rights
and duties as the Chief Executive of
the nation, and determined to protect
his prerogatives from the encroach-
ments of those he calls the enemies
OF constitutional government and
rational freedom. On the other is a
Congress admitted by its leaders to
De aiming at power and influence
"outside the Constitution, and ap-
parently determined to brush away
every obstacle to the success of their
object, even to the length Of Im-
peaching and removing q constitu-
tlOnally elected President. If these
two contending powers are in earnest,
there is, indeed, dark prospect
ahead; fresh trials and tribulations
are in store for the nation, and there
is abundant cause for the gloomy
forebodings and apprehensions ex-
pressed by the conservative element
of the country.
In the confusion and excitement of
I've hour, it is no easy matter to get
~ the bottom of the plots and coun-
terplots that are said to be Matching;
it is difficult to separate the truth
from mere romance and fabrication,
and decide just how much to believe
and how much to cast away as the
inventions of alarmists and canardists.
Much of what is mysteriously circu-
lated is but the widest imagining;
much more is what is purposely
thrown out to note the effect on the
popular mind; but q good deal more
has some solid foundation.
