BUTLER THE BEAUTY.

The National Intelligencer has a we'll
drawn portraiture of b. L. Butler, per-
haps the most infamous public man of the
nineteenth century. We have only room
for portion of the pen-picture, but al
most everybody will acknowledge its faith
fulness:
"The conduct of Mr.. Butler in this
ever-to-be-remembcred trial is in keeping
with his antecedents and with his moral
nature. Throughout it he has shown the
inherent deformity of his being. His
bearing towards the honored and itlustri-
Gus counsel of the President has been that
of coarse and calloused Tombs lawyer.
He cannot realize that the high court of
impeachment, the most solemn and impo-
sing tribunal of the land, isnot brawling
police court, the accused common Offend
er against law, the counsel of the accused
INSCRIPTIONS defenders of such, nor the
witnesses of the accused vile and harden
ed outlaws. He sees everything from his
level of debasement. He has striven con-
tinually to force perjury upon witnesses,
to convict or shield, according to his pur-
pose. He breathes an air of diabolism,
and sees nothing around him but criminals
of high or low degree. The sensibilities
Of the sharp-practised pettifogger in GRIM
inal cases are always alive. The arts and
devices of the attorney for or against a
burglar or a midnight breaker of the
peace are always cropping out, and are
brought into requisition from the force of
habit. There he is at home. There his
powers find natural play, and expand in
their native air. Counsel and witnesses he
DULLES, browbeats and insults. He looks
in the face of a gentleman on the stand as
o witness as if he were convict. Head
dresses him as if he deserved the gallows.
All that he says, acts, insinuates, savors of
that sort of criminal procedure which has
in view the conviction of a robber or other
kind of villain. He obtrudes himself up
on the court, and in the face of refined
and cultivated men, and the air becomes
vitiated. His words CRATE upon polished
ears. His insolent and overbearing man
ner lacerates the sensibilities of gentle
men. Against the refnements of cultiva-
tion he comes like the echo of SANDER.
Against the soaring efforts of pure and
noble minds in behalf of justice and inno-
cence his antagonism comes like an ever
present miasma.

" Here is gushing paragraph which
we clip from the Freeport, ILL.,, News.
The man who wrote it has certainly never
had his eye-teeth cut. He is altogether
an imaginary "cuss," who, because he has
seen rough time as single man, thinks
that married men all live in heaven. He
may have sad awakening some Gay,
when he can look back and see that both
his cheer and his grunt were put in the
wrong places. They should have been ex-
actly reversed:
Matrimony is hot buckwheat cakes,
warm beds, comfortable slippers, smoking
coffeee, round arms, red lips, kind words,
shirts exulting in buttons, redeemed stock
ings, boot jacks, happiness, etc. Hurrah
Single bleSsedness is sheet-iron quilts,
blue noses, frosty rooms, ice in the pitch
er, unregenerated linens, heelless stock
ings, coffee sweetened with icicles, gutta-
pcrcha biscuits, habby steaks, dull IA
zors, cOrns, COLES, rhubarb, misery, etc.
Ugh!

A CIVIL WAR.

Colonel John Forsyth, of the Mobile
Register, writing from Washington, seems
to think there is imminent danger of an
other war-a civil war this time, not a
sectional one. He says that GALL intelli-
gent democrats have ceased to doubt that
it is the design of the radical revolution
lists to hold on to the Government under
any and all circumstances. It's with this
view that they are so intent on driving
Mr.. johnson from the Executive seat
and placing themselves in full possession
Of all the departments Of the Government
when the critical hour strikes. They will
manipulate the votes of the electoral COL
lege to give themselves a majority, and
they will force upon the democrats the
fearful responsibility of inaugurating civil
war to sustain their claims justly resulting
from Constitutional majority of the peo-
pie. If the democratic President elect is
man of weak and nerveless character,
they expect an easy victory and acquies-
cence in their usurpation. Hence the
general democratic desire to select lead
er who will be equal, in judgment, in dar-
ing, and in the confidence of the people,
to the great emergency. The need is for
both statesman and soldier, and prob
ably the qualities of the latter in high
and stern degree will be all essential to
open the path for the exercise of the Off
cial qualities of the first. And perhaps,
too, if the right man is in the right place
some man of Jacksonian temper-the
radicals may be deferred from the coup
