The SUIT AGAINST GpS

The SUIT AGAINST GEN. But
LER.-Irue Version The Sun, of
Nav York, states that the Twiggs
swords, for which Gen. Butler ha.
been sued by young woman who
is not the niece of General Twiggs,
were in 1862 sent to officers of the
United States, and are now in the
Treasury. The silver plate mon
toned as appropriated by Gen. But
ler was turned over to the quarter
master aud sold under General
Banks administration, and the
money has gone into the Treasury
Of the United States.
Gen. Butler was applied to use
his influence to have Twigg's
swords returned, and was told that
he would be sued If he did not. He
refused to interfere. The suit is
brought and published for political
effect. The whole story in regard
to the swords is told in Parton's
Nsw Orleans, page 467. The swords
and box of silver were found under
the L of a house. This woman was
asserted at the time to be Twige'.
mistress.
