The dirtiest exhibition of dirty
linen which the public has been re.
galed with lately, is that of tho pub.
lication of batch of private and
confidential letters of J. Russell
Young, managing editor of the New
York Tribune, to one McClintock,
managing editor and publisher Of the
Philadelphia Post, paper which was
a sort Of protege Of Young's, also 1t
seems that this McClintock, who
must have very low ideas Of decency;
sort of pinchbeck hearted knave,
who has been feeding off of Young's
bounty for years, but finally becom-
ing tired of his master, carried these
letters to that INSCRIPTIONS political
pawnbroker, G. A. Dana, of the Sun,
who, after garbling and distorting
them to suit his purposes, laid them
all before the public in his paper.
Dana's primary object seems to be
to injure the Tribune, and ultimately
to crush out Young.
Meantime, Young has sued Dana
for 100000 slander, who has been
arrested and given bail in $4,000.

Ben, Butler on the Alabama
Question.

This eminent lawyer and statesman
is reported to bc putting his views
into shape on the great International
question now pending between this
nation and Great Britain, in refer.
ence to the destruction Of our vessels
and commerce during the rebellion
by rebel cruisers, fitted out in British
ports. He is reported as differing
considerably in his line of argument
with Senator sumner, but arriving at
the same conclusion finally.
In reference to the settlement of
our claims, he has this bold and point
ed language:
GAS to settling with England, wo
can wait. We can easily find means,
whenever she gets into war, to
swoop her commerce from the ocean
and substitute in its place our own.-
In the meantime, we hold her under
perpetual bonds to keep the peace to
the amount of interest sho has in
commerce and manufactures. We
thus reduce her to a third rate pow
er, because all nations know that she
dare not be provoked into war
Therefore, as long as she stands in
her present attitude with us, she has
no commanding position IN the poll
tics of Europe.
