very many instances the movement has
been begun with an carnestness that is
safe angnry Of success. In Savannah,
we notice the erection Of extensive cot

sponsible parties and it is also in con
temptation TO take the splendid buildings
erected by Messrs. Lamar, Low md

GRANT AND THE SOUTH.
General Butler, the President and the
Southern States.
A Washington telegram to the Baltimor,

Washington telegram to the Baltimore
Sun says:
In consequence Of the absence OF the Presi-
dent there was no Cabinet meeting to-day. II
has been suggested in certain Journals that
when the Cabinet again convenes the Butler
proposition, which is substantially to declare
martial law in the Southern States, will be con
sidered. From enc o9 tho members of the
Cabinet 1t is learned that there is no foundar
ton for the above quoted statement. It ia
true, as telegraphed hence, that General Butler
dld actually urge some such extreme measure
in an Interview he had with General Grant last
Saturday. The President heard the sugges-
tlons respectfully, but did not indicate what.
if any, opinion he had formed on the subject.
AS General Grant now very rarely acts upon
his own motion in important measures, but is
governed generally by the decision Of his Cabi-
net council, there is no probability that he will
take any further notice OF General Butler's
propositions, for the reason that every mem
per OF the administration very well knows that
the Executive has no authority in the matter
OF local disturbances in States until called upon
by the State authorities xUr Federal assistance
in the mode pliinly indicated. in the constitu.
ton. No such constitutional steps have been
taken by any State officers, and no such course
ls expected now, as it has become we'll estab-
llshed that no extraordinary resistance of civil
authorities exists, nor have recently taken
place in any Of the States OF the Union.
d2Generai Buffers proposition, coming from
him, does not surprise those who understand
and properly appreciate him. He has been
guilty of more bold legal heresies than any
no good lawyer here would be willing to risk
MS reputation on an endorsement OF General
butlerls legal opinion, where matters OF pollti-
cal interest intervene.
