A Good Story on Butler.

A Washington correspondent writes
There is loose darkey about Wizards ho-
tel, named Tom. You can bride Tom to
anything. The other day, there was din
ner given by New York contractor, at
which it was understood that Ben Butler
would be a guest. Some disloyal wag,
without the fear of congress before him, got
hold OF Tom, fed him literally, and put him
up to piece of outrageous and reasonable
tomfoolery. After the plates were served,
the host said, THAT will do, Tom, you can
CO." But Tom did not go. Observing that
his orders were not obeyed, the contractor
repeated, 81 told you to go, Tom If want
you, will ring for you"
Still Tom hung about the door and did
not retire. At last, very much warmed at
his contumacy, New York turned upon
Ethiopia, and said sternly, attracting the
whole company, 1--WE told you twice to leave
the room, and by Cd I'll be obeyed, or
put you out myselfi' Tom approached the
table humbly, and replied in subdued tone
but loud enough to be heard by all present,
"If you please, sir-with submission-I
can't go. I'm obliged to stay "The HI

GRANT NOT QUALIFIED.

The Chicago Journal, a radical paper,
frankly confesses that Grant is not qualified
to be President, but the Journal says he can
remedy that defect by selecting first class
cabinet. To show that we do not misrep.
resent that paper or misstate its position,
read -
History has demonstrated, many time
that even weak magistrates may WELD their power
well and wisely by the selection of wise counsel
ors. And the history of our own country and
age shows that without good cabinet, never so
good President can do but poorly. Grant es-
pecially when aided by such cabinet as he viii
select, and backed by radical congress- wiz soon
put our affairs in very different shape from
their present unhappy position"
So, it seems, the radicals announce in ad.
vance, that they do not believe Grant quail.
fed for the position, but congress, they say,
will help him out A radical congress will
appoint his cabinet for him-for the radi
Gals in congress insist that the President has
no right to appoint his cabinet oficers-and
then it will all be right. All that Grant
would be expected to do, would be to draw
his salary, and sign whatever papers might
be presented TO him by a radical committee
of congress- The radicals, therefore, do not
insist upon it that Grant shall be President
they will be satisfied if the people can be
induced TO make him a sort of presidential
efhQy.

How GIFT CONCERTS. ARE MANAGED.-A
case occurred in the Newark Police Court
yesterday, which shows how gift concerts
are managed. Last week negro minstrel
troupe performed at Library Hall and drew
crowded houses by advertiser that fny dol
lar bill would be given to one of the audience
each evening. Arrangements were made
with men TO draw the money and return
most of it to the managers of the company !;
but one of the men who drew fifty dollars
one evening refused to give up the money.
The manager was too shrewd to make any
trouble, but after the company left the city
the ianitor of the hall-who was to receive
part of the prize-assaulted the fortunate
possessor of the money, and took some of il
away from him. The janitor was arrested,
and the cheat exposed. Newark has been
noted for its support of gift enterprises and
third-rate performances, but it is probable
that in future swindlers will not fare so well
in that city.-Nep York EUening Post.
Plenty of cases of this sort are remember
ed here-the most notable one being that of
the man who drew gold watch, and that of
the man who drew the horse. OF course all
those sort of things are humbugs and cheats,
and an arrangement is made, before the
drawing, with some one who will return the
prize or a portion of its value.

DEAR SIR:-I have forwarded to you, I'M.
der the frank of the Hon. W. E. Niblack,
the call of the democratic national commit
tee, for holding the next national conven,
ton in the city of New York, on the An OF
July next You will please confer with the
state central committee of your state, to the
end that she be fully represented IN the con
vention BY the number of delegasesto which
she ia entitled. The national committee is
very DESTROYS that an earnest appeal be
made TO the conservative element, though
out of the Union, which has hitherto not
acted with the democratic party. We call
upon every patriotic voter to unite with as
in our efforts to save our institutions from
the lawless despotism which now threatens
the very foundations of our government. II
is only BY the united action of all who love
the Union and the constitution, that we can
hope 10 drive from power, in the next presi.
Dental election, the radical party, which, BY
its representatives. in congress, has attempted
to usurp the functions of the Judiciary and
executive branches of the government, and
which, by proaigacy in the management OF
our finances, continues to burden our people
with system of taxation which must end
in public and private disaster, unless arres
ted by wise, sound and economical pol
lev, such rs democratic administration il
sure to give MS. | hope that you will lose
no time, in order to cause such measures to
be taken in your state, as will bring to our
aid, in the contest before us, the combined
strength of all who are opposed to congress
sional usurpation, negro supremacy, and
who wish the restoration Of peace and unity
between the sections of our common coun
try under the blessings of the laws and the
cons titution, for which our brave soldiers and
sailors shed their blood and the nation
poured out its treasures.
l shall be much obliged to you, if you
will keep me informed of the political pros
poets in your state, and, remain yours very
truly, AUG. BELMONT,

Temperance Candidate for Congress.

The question of bringing out q tempersncee
candidate for congress, in this district, is being
discussed to considerable extent in temperance
circles II is becoming to be understood BY those
engaged in the cause of temperance that they

reform they DESIRE and they are preparing to
make temperance prominent element in the COM
ing campaign. The electing Of incorporate men
to cong ress has brought disgrace upon our nation.
It has cost us more money than the civil war has,

Gen. Cochrane, responding to serenade

bloodshed of the war-vain are all its sacri.
fees and sufferings," unless President John
son is convicted and deposed from Office |!
Upon this the N. Y. Times comments thus I:
Chow can man with beard, and sup
posed to have common sense, talk such non
sense as this? The country has survived
three years of Mr.. Johnson's presidency
the fruits of the war have been largely har
vested = the enfranchised slaves still retain
their freedom-secession and rebellion are
dead just as dead as they were three years
ago. Is not the nation strong enough, if
necessary, TO survive one year more of the
same experience? We appreciate very
highly the valient generals efforts to save
the nation now, as We appreciated fully his
bloody valor during the war; but can't he
contrive to keep common sense on his side a
little more in his speeches =? II will not hurt
either his cause or his reputation
