GEN. HowARD.--Thc Petersburg Express
draws the following picture:
HE is an absolute monomaniac- thoroughly
enamotcd by education and association with
the New England school Of morals and ci7iliZa,
tion-and yet withal sincere and conscientious
ready to suffer martyrdom in vindication of an
idea his whole soul completely subject to his
pecuiiar theories OF humanitarianiSm. He is
sincere and honest when he addresses to Hcav-
en- the prayer Ct the Pharisec. (?) lie is to US
a curious study-a rigid Puritan devoid Of the
spirit of persecution, and yet bold and unprc-
tending and austcre in his devotion to philan-
thropy honestly believes that he is right, and
everybody else is wrong would gladly give his
life to convert the world to his theories, as the
only sure path to heavenly bliss. lie is widely
apart from Sumner Howard acts from con.
victions in which he has been educated and
they have become part OF his religion. Sum
ner acts from the motive power which he re-
ceived under the lash Of Brooks-hate. Butler
is moved by ayarice, Thad Stevens by revenge,
and others whom we might name by policy
But Howard il monomaniac sincere, persist
ent, in the service of a false philanthropy. "

Butler, in recent speech in Massachusetts
defined carpet baggers to be soldiers who
fought in the war and conquered, and who,
while seeking to defend by ballot what they
had gained by the bullet, have been called by
their copperhead enemies carpet. baggers, the
only reason for such an appel!ation being. that
the war has robbed them Of all except what
can conveniently be carried in that small ar
ticle." , Fl, .s-.
The brief, bat expressive comment on this,
in the New York Herald is, SHAT SO many Of
the so.called carpet-baggers we're suffers, and
SO many not soldiers at all, and so many of
them never had anything at all to be robbed of
previous to the war, that this definition must
be regarded as funny rather than correct. :" s.
