The Tribune ON Butler.

NEW YORK, November 21.-The Tribune
Tomorrow will contain the following: Here
and there may be seen strong paragraph
questioning the authenticity of a remarks
bic letter from Lowell, giving General But
ler's political programme, which We lately
published. Word comes to us from Wash
ngton that the friends of General Butler
there. apparently under his inspiration, are
just beginning to hold the same tone.
1--WE shall lie glad to know whether Gen
eral Butler has, directly or indirectly, given
the slightest cOuntenance to these insinua-
lions. 1t is NOT his habit to shirk the re-
sponsibility for words he has once spoken,
bnt his approaching speech at Boston affords
him an excellent opportunity to attempt
this if he SO desires, and it will then afford
us warrant for proving, with names and
dates, that the General did, more than once,
twice or thrice, and to different persons,
citizens of the United States and citizens of
Great Britain, express, in plain words, the
views with which our Lowell correspondent
accredited him."
!. The Tribune also alludes to the report
that Butler is to be appointed Secretary OF
State, and says that 1.-THE grain of truth in
the story is, that progress has been made in
the scheme to the extent that the President
allows Butler to talk to him about it,

FAMILY OF FIVE BUTCHERED
THEIR HEADS CUTOFF

MINERAL POINT, Mo-, November GA
whole family was brutaliy murdered; The
name OF the family was Lapine, ana were
Creole French. The names u the un1ortu-
mates were David Lapine, wife and two
children; also q sister of Mrs. Lapine, named
Mary Christopher, making five IN ALL They
lived about one and a half miles north OF
potnsi in Washington county. Mr.. Lapine
was very old man, and also very harm
less: had resided in the county perhaps for
forty years. The particulars, as related at
the coroner's inquest, are that John Arm
strong and Charles Jolly, miners, working
IN the neighborhood, went to Potosi TO sell
their mineral on Saturday, the nine
teenth instant. They there drank freely
Of bad whisky and started from
there to return home, and on
their way called at the cabin of the
Lapincs, who were also miners, and while
there some difficulty arose between the
men Armstrong and jolly and the sister-in-
law of Mr.. Lapinc. The old.,nan naturally
enough tried to quiet the men, whereupon
the man Jolly drew his revolver and shot
the old man four times, killing him almost
instantly, his wife trying the while to pre-
vent the deed jolly turned and knocked
her down with his fist. then shot and killed
her. Armstrong in the meantime had pro-
cured an axe, knocking down the other
woman, and he then completely severed the
heads of all three from their bodies. The
children were also murdered with the axe,
as appeared from deep cut just above the
left ear of one. They then set the house on
fire, and burned it to the ground with the
remains in it.
The house being in an unfrequented part
Of the neighborhOOd, it was not discovered
until thirty-six hours had elapsed, and by
that time the murdcrers had fled. They
have not, up to the present, been arrested,
but it is hardly possible for them long to
escape Justice, as they are being vigorously
pursued by the officers OF the law, with a
large posse of citizens, and We confidently
expect to hear Of their capture before long.
Had not the murderers had little boy
along with them they might have escaped
detection for some time, but upon the dis
covery of the deed, a number of people in
the neighborhoOd were arrested, and ques-
toned about the affair until they came
across this boy, who confessed the whole
crime, and even showed the axe with which
the wretches cut off the heads Of the vic
Tins. The murderers were of low degree,
having recently set fire to house and
stolen the contents, consisting of lead ore
and mining to the amount Of twenty-five or
thirty dollars

A GAINESVILLE paper says: a A young lady
was walking rapidly up Milwaukee street
this forenoon, with a spool of linen thread
i'll her pocket. In pulling her handkerchief
h,rriedly from the pocket, to make use Of it
in flirting with tall gentleman across the
street, a loose end of the thread came with
it, and was caught on one Of the splinters of
a hitching-post. The young lady sped
rapidly onward, happy in her innocent little
Irritation. unconscious that the spool in her
pocket was paying out thread little less
than ten rods minute. She beat the time
of the Great Eastern with the Atlantic
cable. At the jackson street crossing a
horse became entangled in the thread, which
reused the lady to a consciousness that
something about her wos unraveling. The
nnruly cord was quickly broken Off close to
the spool, and the victim of its unwindings
got out of sight as rapidly as possible. 1t is
supposed that she was trying to get the tall
gentleman on the string"

A New York letter on John B. Cough:
ssYears ago, when quite a child, remember
the pale, miserable-cyed man who used to
crowd the churches with one of his temper
ance lectures: when he called upon his
sainted Ida or Mary Ann q forget which,
to look down upon him, "A broken. contrite
man, whose heart was the lodging Of re-
morse;' when he described his beautiful
child, that lay still and cold in the moon
Tight, when he reeled to his wretched room
one night; wept big, childish tears. My
faith in him was subsequently very much
weakened, when l learned that he never
had santed Ida, and no beautiful child
ever laid out under sheet to knock him off
his perch. No; he had flights of fancy, and
they stood him in hand for actual facts.
John i. Cough is about the same thing to-
day, the black name that flowed down his
back has become gray. He has grown
more whiskers, and when discoursing upon
.oratory, he clenched his fist and went for
his favorite adversary in the olden style
He is just as egOtistical as ever, and just as
