The New York Time. o. Butler.

When Gen. Butler was sneeringly alluded to in
Congress last week, as the "hero Of New Or
leans he sprang to his feet and protested
once for al" saying that he was not the hero Of
New Orleans, but .. ! do claim to be the hero of
Ne1o York in the election of 1864. They had an
honest election then, which they have never had
before or since" 1t is painful to think that there
are contestants for all Cen. Buffers claims OF
every kind. Ii will be remembered, when this
question was up before, that Gen. Dix put for.
wsrd some claims to credit for preserving the
peace in New York when it was threatened at the
particular time referred to. As commander
of the department, he issued all orders
for the stationiDg of the forces for the disposition
Of troops, and for maintaining order throughout
the city. He never for q moment ceased his
authority in these matters, even when Gen. Butler
took up his quarters at the Hoffman House. and
ordered several citizens to appear before him aud
answer for their conduct. If Gen. Butler ever
did any more than this we should like him to pro.
duce the record OF it, and thus give some color
to his being the " Hero of New York" By the
way, we remember he delivered a somewhat cele-
brated speech in the City Hall Park, in which he
hurled certain odorferous Chinese missiles at the
heads Of the Five Pointers who had assembled To
smell them. Possibly it is this exploit that he al.
lndes to.

Mr.. F. Poole, q wealthy Engishman, has pad
died himself in canoe, since July last, distance
OF 1000 miles. He started from Liverpool, and
after padding along the coast and out IN the irish
Sea for several days, he touched at many points
on the Lancashire, Westmoreland and Cumberland
coasts, visiting the majority Of the English lakes
In his frail boat. He then proceeded round the
coasts Of Wigtonshire, Krkcudbrightshire and
Ayrshire, occasionally landing and making geo.
logical survey of the country, till reaching the
Firth Of Clyde, in which he staid for several
weeks, exploring the bays and lochs of the
firth and Of some of the western islands. Re.
turning to Glasgow, he padded through the
Forth and Clyde Canal to Grangemouth, whence
he sailed 10 Leith. The canoe in which Mr.. Poole
accomplished his voyage was built for him in
Canada, by tribe OF Oaughuawaga Indians, and
is composed entirely of one sheet of birch bark
beautifully sewed and admirably moulded. The
canoe is very light weighing, when empty, only
sixty pounds, and measures fifteen feet six inches
long, with a breadth Of beam of three feet six
inches, and is one foot three inches In depth. In
this frail boat Mr.. Poole, as a geoogist and min
Ing engineer, voyaged for eight years among the
rivers OF British North America to the Rocky
Mountains, across which he carried il. aud padded
thereafter down the many streams arising on the
west watershed of the Rocky Mountains down to
the Pacific. By its means he proceeded TO Queen
Charlotte Island, which he explored, having been
the first white man who set foot on the island.
During all his wanderings among the islands off
British Columbia, he padded no less than
is 900 miles, and in the course of one Of his geo.
logical surveys, he was the only surviving men,
Der of party Of eighty-six, Europeans and In
dams.

WASHINGTON, January 2.-The New
Years reception at the White House was
the most brilliant for several years.
The receptions of heads of departments
were also crowded and marked by good
feeling. General Grants house was
crowded from noon until after dark.
General Meade has telegraphed that
he will arrive here tonight, and tO-mor-
row, after seeing the President and
General Grant, regarding affairs i'll the
Third District, will leave at once to as
sumo his new command.
Messrs. POmeroy, of New York, Wash
burne, of Indiana, and Cullom, OF Hi
nois, leave to-day for Richmond, to adj
dress the Virginia negro Reconstruction
Convention. General Butler leaves for
Richmond on Thursday.
WASHINGTON, January 3.-General
Grant proposes leaving this city fol
New York tonight to remain there sew
eral days.
Major General Meade left here this
morning for Atlanta, Ca, to assume
command of the Third Military District.
Alexander II. Stephens, of Georgia,
writes from Philadelphia to friend
here that his physical constitution is
very feeble, and that he is hardly able
at times to set up in bed. He is expect
ed here about the middle of next week.

arrived here TO conduct the case of Nc

New YORK, January "a Washing
ton special to the Herald says: The
rumor that Grant will refuse TO retain
his position in the war office if ordered
to do so by the President cannot be
traced to q reliable source. If such an
order is received it will be acted upon
by Grant with proper sense of right
and duty.
1t is stated that if the House Finance
committee do not propose bill to Sc
cure the reissue of greenbacks equal
to the amount withdrawn from circu-
lation by contraction, such bill will
be presented.
General Butler and Representative
Judd are pursuing Investigations in the
whisky business, which will probably
lead TO action by Congress looking to
q more vigorous examination of matters
in the Internal Revenue Bureau.
No private letters have passed be-
tween the President and Grant in rela-
ton to the removal of General Pope.
The Times Washington special says:
General Grant took no action upon the
telegram from New Orleans urging the
restoration ST Governor Wells.
In order to save the levee bonds from
becoming worthless, General Howard
has issued orders dismissing Bureau of
ficers for engaging i'll politics i'll the
Southern States. He has established a
rule that the acceptance OF an office
must be considered as Incompatible with
the duties of the officers of the Bureau
The statement that General Howard has
endorsed the proposition of the loan Of
100000 to Southern planters with lier
on their estates or crops, is incorrect.
