SIR: The reiteration of the COpperhead polit-
zeal lie that Gen Butler had cxtorted $4,000 from Kim
bery Bros at Fort Monroe demands some contradiction
though such will seem many to DO nged with super
erogation.

Bros assessed by military board nj the rate or
900 per month Whereabouts for the property and
privilege they occupied traders upon the Government
land All others trading there were similarly taxed IN pro
portion To their privileges and business 49, 49,,
Kimberly Brothers may question the Legality OF TINS
tax and no doubt have brought suit upon the advice OF
Frne gentleman learned In the law but have good
reasons for d0ubnk that they ever charged Cen Buer
with approprating this money 60 his own use. Tue
money was-as everybody knows who was familiar VIVID
matter. that paceturEed into the civil fund TOT ponce
and other purpo-cs ,.-,.--- -.
