GENERAL BUTLER INTER PIEWED

A correspondent of the Tribune has re-
Gently interviewed General Butler, who gave
him the substance of a speech which he intends
to make at an early day on the policy the
Administration ought to pursue to keep the
republican party together and insure its vic
tory in the next Presidential election. He
says
"War memories will not much longer fur
nish political capital, and that the true policy
for the Admission is to at once demand and
enforce the Alabama claims, which, if vigor-
ously prosecuted to a satisfactory settlement
within the next year, would make the re-elec-
ton of Grant inevitable. England would
come to our terms at once when she found
we were in earnest and determined to enforce
them. There would be no war, for England
does not go 10 war with a first-class power.
The Republican party he said, is not now
united upon single question of public policy.
Upon the tariff question il is split in two by
the backbone of the Alleghanies. Upon all
financial issues the division is almost as
marked. The party has no longer any coher-
ent force and recognizes no leadership. 1t
gives no support to the administration it has

chosen. which was not able at the last session
of Congress to carry single one of the
measures it proposed. The San Domingo
treaty failed in the Senate in spite of all the
influence the President could bring to bear.
Creswells one idea of abolshing the franking
privilege was lost The Secretary of the
Navy did not get the appropriations he asked
for to carry on his department. The army
was reduced, Notwithstanding the protests OF
the War Department. The Attorney Cen
erals office was knocked in pieces. Bout
wells financial measures were badly cut up.
There was never before an Administration pos
sessing so little influence with q Congress OF
it's own party. In reply to a question as to
the nature of the settlement he would have
proposed to England and the way of bringing
il about. Gen. Butler said that Il special agent
or ambassador extraordinary should be sent
Immediately to London and be instructed to
put the case to Earl Granville somewhat in
this way: We have waited long enough for
settlement of the claims, my Lord, and we
propose to wait no longer. Theg are con-
slant source of irritation between our Gov
eminent and yours, and between our people
and yours, and no good can come of longer
DELAY Besides, it has become a question OF
political policy, with us at home, and we are
determined to have settlement at once,
amcably if possible, but if it is not possible,
then by other means. Now, these are the terms
we offer you. We will assume the claims and
settle with our own people, and we will take
from you all your provinces north OF us.
They are are only burden to you, and must
sooner or later gravitate to us. We want
them now to get rid of the expense and an
noyance of keeping up Custom Houses on
frontier line of 1000 miles, and to settle the
trouble about the fisheries. We do not pro-
pose, however, that you should barter them
away or abandon them in any dishonorable
way. We will have plebiscium and we will
agree to take only such Provinces as shall
freely elect to join the United States, but the
vote must be taken by the Provinces, for we
will have nothing to do with your Dominion
which you put up to make an untriendly
power on our Northern border, when you
thought we should have powerful enemy at
the South in the successful Confederate
States. When the vote is taken, which must
be done without the influence of your gov
eminent agents. we will give you receipt in
full of all claims We have against you, and
take only such provinces as vote aye upon the
question. This we consider liberal offer on
our part, and it is our utimation. If you DO
not accept it, we propose to fight

The Telegraph says there has recently been
placed on the lot Of Prof. Smyth in the grave
yard at Brunswick, a granite shaft, or capped
monument, of Hallowell granite, of fine pro-
portions and of easy graceful lines. 1t is
severely simple in design, and thus all the
better fitted to stand over the remains of one
whose character was moulded like that OF
the late Prof Smyth. The shaft bears the
suitable inscriptions upon the other faces.
The stone itself is one of the best samples
from the IIallowell quarries, and it was cut

CANADIAN ANNEIATIO

At meeting in Chicago on Wednesday OF
last week Senator Trumbull spoke of the
question of annexation as follows:
1t Is for the mutual advantage, both of the
United States and of the inhabitants of those
colonies, that they should be under one gov
eminent. They want to sell us their lumber
and other products, and we want the benefit
of their market and they of ours. We want
to be rid of all those officials stretched along
the dividing line across the continent, those
Custom House officials, and SO on; and we
want free and uninterrupted intercourse from
the northwestern part Of the continent, and
from this city, to the ocean. That is the de-
sideratum of the Northwest. The natural
outlet of these great lakes, and of this part of
the Union, is through the ST. Lawrence. Give
us possession of that and il will be an easy
matter to open communication that will soon
bring to this outer harbor of Chicago the ves-
sells from all the nations of the world.
1t is as much for the interest of the inhabi-
tants of those colonies to be under our Gov
eminent as it is for us to have them. There
was time when we could not expect them to
join their fortunes with ours. 1t has been
their boast for years that slave could not
breathe their air. But now slaveryis removed.
We have free government. We have a gov
eminent where the people rule. Let them
come in and take part with us, and our legls-
lation shall be so shaped, in my judgment, as
TO make it for their interest 10 unite their des-
TIMES with ours. And then, when This line OF
communication shall be opened TO the ocean,
this city, situated at the head of these great
waters surrounded by a country of the great
est fertility and of vast extent, midway of the
continent, a country inhabited by an intelli-
gent and thrifty and free people-the day is
not distant when it would be the great city of
the world

usual interest to the readers in this country
Among the papers which will be universally
read are the following: american Litera-
ture," ''John Weslcy's Cosmogony," "The
Laws of war" "Gunpowder," and 1.-The New

Review harmonizes so thoroughly with the
progressive spirit of the age. 1t will be with
lively interest that the public will take up this
number and read the critical remarks on our
writers, dead and living, in the first-named
article; and the equally critical comments on
the heroes of the late Gold Conspiracy which
forms the subject of the last article, and which
as a striking chapter in the history of finance,
has been thought worthy of place in the
pages of quarterly review.
