BEAST BUTLER.-That excellent paper
the New York World, which is always in a
good humor, thus pleasantly discourSes:
To the suits now pending in this city
the Doctor EButlerl has put in a petition
that they be transferred to the United
States Circuit Court, on the ground that
at the time his unlawful acts are alleged
to have been committed he was a Major
General in the service OF the United States.
Butler is an old hand at the bar, and this
may be dodge TO get some sort of a1egal
or official recognition of fact not likely
otherwise to appear prominently in Ameri-
can history, not even in Bancroft's, that he
has held some such position. But to this
proposal Mr.. Choate replied sharply that
he did not believe that any act of Congress
was ever meant to protect thief; and the
recent decision of the Supreme Court II
the Milligan case strips oil the military
plea which has been SO extensively used II
the last five wears To cover all sorts of un'
lawful and unjust proceedings. 1t is pos,
sible that the Doctor may find further con-
ISOLATION in another libel suit in being thus
publicly alluded to as thief. Still an
other libel looms up in the statement OF
Judge Barnard that Butler was described
as having been "a Maior-General from
blank day Of blank" because he was a
"blank Maior-General."

WASHINGTON. January 1G.-SENATE.-
The Nebraska bill was taken up, as
amended.
Mr.. Wade favored and Ir. Edmunds
opposed the amendment.
Various petitions for increase Of pay
were presented.
Mr.. Sumner presented petition for an
amendment to the Constitution prohibit
ing distinction on account of color. Re-
fcrred. Also, eleven petitions from North
Carolina negroes in favor of Stevens's bill.
The bills for the admission of Colorado
and Nebraska, with the House amend.
ment, passed, 20 to Ii, and now goes to
the President.
HoUsE.-The Secretary of the Interior
was directed to report whether legislation
is necessary to secure the records of the
United States Circuit and District Courts
in North Carolina.
Mr.. Stevens's enabling act was taken
up. Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, opposed it.
The Judiciary Committee were instruct
ed to report in writing what legislation is
necessary to enable three-fourths of the
represented States to ratify the constitu-
tional amendments.
Stevens's enabling bill was discussed.
Mr.. Payne opposed the second section of
the bill, which recognized the present
State governments, which he denounced
aspractical.
Mr.. Bingham spoke one hour and a
quarter. He said the bill, instead of being
one Of reconstruction, was one of destruc-
ton. 1t was for disunion instead of resto-
ration. He showed the absurdity of deny
ing the rebel States by showing that
Congress, the courts, and the Executive
had recognized them. He knew that those
rebels had ridged the land with graves. He
knew that 1000 citizens had fallen mar
tyrs to the country and Constitution. 1t
was in view of their great transgressions
that the proposed universal forgiveness
rose into the sublime and challenged a
parallel in history. He protested against
the bill as foreign to the spirit and pur-
poses Of the constitutional amendment.
He closed by moving to refer the bill to
the Committee on Reconstruction.
Mr.. Dawson spoke in opposition to the
bill for an hour, until the Speakers ham
mer fell.
Mr.. Spalding moved the extension OF
Mr.. Dawson's hour.
EMr. Stevens objected; and, on his mo-
ton, the House went into the Committee
OF the Whole, when Mr.. Dawson again OBJ
tanned the floor and concluded.
The Appropriation bill was amended by
adding $4,000 for steamboat inspectors
and a more thorough investigation into
recent steamboat disasters.

THE PRIZE FIGHT-DISGRACEFuL Pro
CEEDINGs-COLLYER THE NICroR.-The
prize fight heretofore alluded to between
Samuel Collyer, of Baltimore, and John
McGlade, of New York, came Oft yester-
day morning in the immediate vicinity of
the town of Goldsborough, in York county,
Pa, twelve miles south of Harrisburg, on
the Susquehanna river. The occasion, it
is said, drew together one Of the largest
crowds of the "tancy" that has, perhaps,
ever assembled in this country, consisting,
in great part, of pugilsts, knucks, thieves,
pickpockets, and others who live by their
wits at the expense of honest men. The
train which left Baltimore at o'clock on
Monday evening was crowded with par
ties anxious to see the fight. There were
some in the crowd having pretensions to re-
spectability, but by far the largest portion
were of the questionable or CROUCH" de-
scription. Before reaching York num-
Der Of the regular passengers are reported
to have been "gone through" or, more
plainly speaking, robbed.
1t is understood that about 1,000p persons
were present; that as good order as could
be expected was observed that forty six
closely contested rounds were fought, last
ing fifty-four minutes, and resulted in Coll
yer being declared the victor. 1t is said
that McGlade was very severely "pun-
ished," and that Collyer is but little hurt

A FEARFUL HoMICIDE.-An appalling
homicide was perpetratcd last evening, a
short time prior TO ) O'Clock, in the coop.
ering establishment of George l.. Softer
on Caroline street, between Hampstead
and Fayette. The general features of the
affair appear TO be that the deceased, Will
liam WalSmith, a journeyman in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Softer, and Joseph Garrison,
another employe in the same establishment,
found themselves involved in brief war
Of words, ending in few blows struck by
the deceased, and an offer upon his part to
- with Garrison into the yard attached to
the shop, and there settle the difficulty by
4 night with their fists. No response was
made TO this, and Walsmith, who is young
man some twenty-threc years of age, pro-
cecded with his work, taking his customary
position upon the shelving horse allotted to
him for his duties.
Some three minutes afterwards, while
occupied in preparing hoops, Garrison,
who has the shaving horse next to him,
went to it and secured a large drawing
knife, such as is used by CooperS, and
holding il with one hand, struck a terrible
and fatal blow at WalSmith. The broad,
heavy blade of the knife struck the de-
ceased in the back of the neck and just at
the base Of the occpital bone, cutting its
way through flesh and spinal marrow and
yertebra. The stroke caused instantane-
Gus death, and left hideouS oritice eX-
tending some three or four inches around
Of a proportionatc depth of an inch and a
half OF two inches. Garrison shortly after
passed from the building, and attempted to
conceal himself in stable in the vicinity.
but was quickly found and conveyed by
two officers to the Eastern police station.

INTERESTING DEcIsIoN.-An important
opinion has just been rendered by the Court
Of Appeals, in which the long mooted and
much vexed question as to the assigna-
blity of the right of action to set aside
fraudulent conveyances is determined.
The suit has been pending for over thir-
teen years, mainly on the question as to
whether the right of action TO set aside
fraudulent conveyance was or was not
assignable. The referee, the late Judge
Kent, decided in the affirmative, and gave
judgment for the plaintiff, who brought the
suit as assignee. Appeal was taken TO the
general term Of the Supreme Court, where
full bench decided that the right OF
action was not assignable, and reversed
the referees decision on that ground alone.
The plaintiff then took it TO the court OF
last resort, and that tribunal has now de-
termined that such course OF action Is
assignable, thus reversing the decision Of
the Supreme Court at general term, ana
affirming that of the referee.-NeU forh

HARRISBURG, January l5.-Simon Came
ron, the newly-elected United States Sc

Senator Cameron, in his speech, said he
hoped to see the word white" stricken
out of the Pennsylvania Constitution
and the spirit of caste based upon color
destroyed. The southern territory was
disloyal, and no method of craftsmanship
could make the present generation loyal
The constitutional amendments and i'm
partial suffrage will help, but universal
amnesty will destroy the growing loyalty
OF Andrew johnson, he added: "I said
long ago that he was traitor to his party
and an enemy to his country, and bad
man." Cameron announced himself
squarely for protection of home industry
as against pauper European labor.

How THE RICHINGs TROUPE WAS Re-
CEIvED IN New YoRK.-The house; we are
glad to say, was completely filled, and the
applause was frequent. What is of more
Importance, both the attendance and the
appreciation were deserved. An English
version Of Flotow's favorable opera OF
"Martha " was rendered in a thoroughly
satisfactory manner, the action was fol-
lowed with interest, the music with APP
plause, and the performers with every
mark of favor. Miss Zelda Harrison's
voice, without losing any of its beauti-
full freshness, has revealed much more
strength than it formerly possessed. The
young lady is one of the best meZZo-s opra-
nos now on the stage. Miss RichingS main
tains her own as Of old. Mr.. W. Castle
and Mr.. S. C.. Campbell have sung the
principal pieces of this opera so often that
we need only say that in the entire work
they are admirable, as also were Mr.. f..
Seguin and Mr.. J. G.. Peakes in subordinate
but well-rendercd parts.-Nelo York Times.
Without doubt the present is the most
efficient combination for English opera
that We have had in nearly twenty years.
Hardly member escaped hearty applause,
and many were demanded, and given
anew. Mr.. Campbell did himself great
credit. Mr.. Castles beautiful romanza
(Act ILL., earned him, and justly, the
honors of an encore. The characters were
well taken throughout, and the perform
ance certainly afforded great delight. -Nelc
