which Solicitor Bon6eld has made in regard
to the charges against Gen. Butterfeld con.
cluded yesterday morning. Mr.. Bonfeld
was with Judge Pierrepont. Ind facts were
disclosed which, Mr. Bonfeld says makes it
improper for Gen. Butterfeid to remain at
the sub treasury. So it is almost certainty
that his resignation, which has been tend
cred, will be accepted. Yesterday the Gen
ersl was busily engaged signing gold certif
Gates, and appeared in no wise concerned by
the reports. Mr.. Bonfeld left last evening
for Washington.

WASHINGTON, OOT. pa gentleman,
formally United States marshal of North
Carolina, who arrived here from that state to
day, says there is about to be a general
breaking up of political parties there. The
Holden party, which has ruled with great
bitterness in the interest Of the radicals since
the state was reconstructed, has lost caste
and its members are quarreling among
themselves. The state bonds are selling for
about 38 cents on the dollar, and some Of
them are secretly conniving at reputation.
The people, or at least the respectable por.
ton of them, and especially the property
owners, are ready to Join any party organi.
zstion that promises relief from the taxes
and bad management of Holden and his
friends. Holden is about deserting the ex.
treme radicals because he perceives their
power ia at an end and will probably seek
admission into the new party. He has been
so proscriptve, this informant says, against
all who did not agree with him, that he will
get no favor at the hands of the leaders Of
the movement, who propose to organize a
party after the fashion Of the Walker party
in Virginia and Senter party in Tennessee,
with universal amnesty and impartial saff
rage as the leading features.

nounced that troops had arrived at the scene
of the recent insurrection in northern Flo

United States military forces in preserving
the peace. The outrsges had entirely ceased +,
and there was prospect that some of the

fore the civil courts. A new Judge had

James F. Wilson, OF Iowa, one Of the
Pacific Railroad Commissioners, has re.

In relation to the speech Of Judge Dent,
wherein it is alleged he said that the Presi.
dent sustained him as candidate for Gov
ernor, there appears to be good reason for
| saving that Dent has been misquoted, and
IA. the language attributed to him, was not
used. Mr.. Page, law partner OF Dents in
this city, has letter from him to day, in
which he says that he only quoted part OF
Grants letter to him from Long Branch, to
the effect that ifa Conservative was to be
elected Governor, that he Grant preferred
Dents election over any other candidate
This is Dents explanation of his speech.
