GEN. BUTLER.-Quite number of promi-
nent citizeLs of Boston have united in a re-
quest to Gen. Butler to give public express
sion OF his political views, especially on the
Alabama claims and the fishing question re-
ply to the recent speech of Thomas Hughes.
In his reply, accepting the invitation and des-
ignating Music Hall, Boston, The 23d inst as
the place and time for the address Gen. But
Ter remarks in regard to an expression of his
views upon the future of the Republican par
ty, which has been generally circulated
through the newspapers:
IEeed hardly say to gentlemen of your dis
elimination that that publication was wholly

LEGATION had been authorized and were cor
rect m all respects, could hardly conceive
That any one would have a desire to hear
from me further upon these topics, especially
In the language attributed to me. While
many oil the ideas ale those that have some-
times expressed in private talk with my
friends, the publication is evidently the pro-
duction Of some person who, hearing of such
conversation, has undertaken TO rive IN Tho
public, to my injury, as much of it as he could
remember, according to his Comprehension
The Portland daily press., 1870-11-22

NEVER MIND, Mr.. Scissors, your case is not
by any means unprecedented. Many per-
sons as illiterate as yourself have made
themselves very conspicuous in the world
honorably conspicuous, too. They pos
sessed remarkable industry, however, while
your Incidence is only comparable with your
ignorance. But if it will be any consolation
TO you, as you pore over your spelling book,
grammar and dictionary, we will cite few
cases, out of pure benevolence. 1t is well
known that the atrocious handwriting of the
first Napoleon was deliberately assumed in
order to conceal the great mans incapacity
for learning the simplest photographed rules.
Napoleon could conquer nations, make laws
and rule the world, but he couldn't spell.
Carlyle, who gives frederick the Great" an
apotheosis, confesseses with shame and con-
fusion that his hero, who performed the mira
Gle of thrashing the French and Austrians at
Rossbach, who was for time the intimate
friend of Voltaire, who wrote the Anti-
Machiauel ard "held himself out' as liter
airy man generally, never could be taught to
Spell correctly tlaA words of his mother tongue
You will remember that Artemus Ward re-
marks somewhere that Mister Chaucer
kuGent spell" And this reminds us of a hap
Ply suggestion we have to make. Charles
Lamb once said in fit of vexation induced
by the rejection of an article from his PEN
"Hang the age-I will write for ontiquityP
There's your safety, Mr.. Scissors-write for
antiquity You can spell as well as sinister
Chaucer," we dare say. No doubt Napoleon
and Eugene had antiquity in view when they
wrote the letters that have been published
since they left France, for after every tenth
word is the damnatory (sic) by which the
editor of those epistles means to indicate
that the bad spelling is to be ascribed to the
gracious condescension of the imperial au-
thors and not to errors in printing.

or anything else. The facts are, IS
we get them from q gentleman who
views the work three times a week,
that q very large force Of labOrers
is at work with all the machinery
that can be used to advantage, and
that there is little danger but the
canal will be opened to the fall
trade. Much harm may result from
a class Of articles in newspapers in
reference to the work which might
induce belief among the labOrers
that Cincinnati is even more anx-
ious for the early completion Of the
canal than she really is, and thus
bring about strikes among them.
Cincinnati desires the completion of
the canal, of course, but the sleep of
twenty-five years on the subject
proves that she would not give
$1,000 towards It. In the appropri-
ations passed by Congress was one
Of $4,000 for the improvement of
the navigation Of the Ohio river,
exclusive Of that for the completion
of the Louisville and Portland
canal. Now, couldn't we ret
a few hundreds of the above
amount to dredge at Rising Sun
and Grassy Flats? There are
two dredge-boats belonging to the
canal company that would answer
the purpose admirably, and as they
are now lying idle the Government
could charter them at a cheap rate.
AS there are number Of other
places on the Ohio river which
could be so dredged as to make two
feet more OF water, we don't see
how the money could be more ju-
dic!ously expended. There i not
a single stretch Of l25 miles on the
Ohio river where rs much bust
ness is done as between Cincinnati
and Louisville. For this reason
navigation should be kept open a,
long as possible between these points
and the work should begin here
To illustrate what could be done,
we will relate that, in 1888, Capt.
L. N. Wade, now of the United
States, was commanding a steam
boat called the Return, aud Capt.
Wash Kerr, now of the Granite !
State, was on the Transit. Both |
boats got aground at Snag Bar, the |
Transit lying above the Return. |
Capt Wade and VIM. Scott con-
sTucted scraper, lined with old |
iron that they found on the boat, /
and, hitching a yoke of oxen 10 II |
on the bar, actually scraped out O
channel sufficiently deep and wide |
to let the Return through, so that !
she was kept running all that fall |
between Louisville aud Cincinnati. |
The Transit, on the contrary, re-
mained on the bar till there was a
rise in the river, and lost all that |
time. We believe that Col. W. Z. !
Merrillis now in charge Of the Ohio |
river improvements, and we sub
init this suggestion to him as well |
as to Gen. Weitzel."
