BUTLER.
The Case Of frederick Random Butler Dis
missed by Judge Trigg-PrObablIity
that he will be Tried In
Mashingtoa.

Special TO Nashville Union and American.
BRISTOL, August 30.-Judge Trigg
took up the case of United States
against R0derick Random Butler to-
day, when District Attorney Camp
moved that the case be transferred to
Washington, and Butler be required
10 give bail for his appearance before
the Criminal Court of the District of
Columbia, upon the ground that the
otfense was committed in that city,
and that Judge Trigg had no jurisdic-
ton over the same. The Court over
ruled the motion upon the ground that
Notwithstanding the fact that the Of
tense was committed in Washington,
the warrant upon which the arrest
was made was Issued from this court,
and it therefore had Jurisdiction of the
case, and the accused was entitled to
a preliminary Investigation here. The
District Attorney then announced
that he was not ready for the trial, on
account of the absence of witnesses.
The Court held that the government
had had ample time to prepare for the
investigation, and dismissed the suit.
Correspondence of Philadelphia Press
WASHINGTON, August 2j.-There
are no fresh developments in the case
of Congressman Butler, of Tennessee,
who has been arrested for forgery in a
pension case. Butler is yet out on
5000 bail to appear before the United
States District Court at Bristol, Tenn,
on Tuesday next, when he will prob
ably have a full hearing. 1t is not
known that any action will be taken
by the authorities here in the matter
OF the curse pursued by the United
States Marshal and Judge of the Dis
trict Court at Bristol in disregaTding
the terms of the warrant issued in this
city On which Butler was arrested,
and which provided that he should
be brought before the Criminal Court
of the District of Columbia, the crime
having been committed within the
Jurisdiction of this court. The point is
raised that as no indictment was found
against Butler by the grand jury of
the court here, any United States Dis
trict Court had equal Jurisdiction in
the matter of affording the accused a
preliminary hearing, and therefore it
Is held that the Tennessee authorities
acted strictly in accordance with law.
However this may be, the matter will
probably be laid before the Attorney
General for his opinion. 1t is report
ed here tonight that Butler has writ
ten a letter 10 a prominent party of
this city relative to obtaining compe-
tent counsel to represent him in the
event of his case being brought before
the Criminal Court of this District.
The report is further to the effect that
Butler will come to Washington the
latter part of next week, and that
matters will be so arranged at the
hearing at Bistol on the Both instant,
as to permit him TO do so.

THE act to enforce the XIV amend
mend is at last officially avowed to
have been intended, not for the pro-
lection of all citizens alike, but only
for the benefit of the colOred man and
brother. A correspondent writing
from Washington on the 10Th says:
" Information received here from
trustworthy sources leads to the con-
clusiOn that the Enforcement act is
working both ways. The Radical pol
iticians in the South are finding ont
they can suffer by some Of the provis-
ions of the act, just as well as their
Democratic brethren. 1t is said that
the latter have conspired in some OF
the Southern States to prosecute the
Radical registers, by bribing people
to apply for registration who are not
entitled to it. Men are hired, for in
stance, 10 go from one county of West
ern Virginia to another aud there
to apply to be registered as lawful
voters. The Registers, knowing such
applicants TO be bogus, refuse to put
their names on the legal lists, where
upon the rejected applicants make
suit to recover $500 in each case for q
violation of the Enforcement act. The
new law is very stringent in its terms,
providing that every State and Terri
torial officer shall interpOse NJ OBJ
structiOn to registration, or the per-
formance of any other prerequisite
for voting under a penalty of $500,
to be recovered by an action on
the case, with full costs and such
allowance for counsel fees as the
court shall deem just; and that
every such offense shall be deemed a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
imprisonment. In Western Virginia
many of the sympathizers with the
Lost Cause" have got up scores Of
this kind Of prosecution, which, so
manifestly unjust, embarrasses the
Judges and District Attorney very
considerably. The District Attorney
of that State telegraphs for instruc-
tiOns to the Attorney General, who,
after duly considering the question,
has answered, over his own signature,
that it is not necessary to pay atten-
ton to such bogus prosecutions. In
a dispatch sent by Attorney General
Alderman TO the District Attorney of
Virginia, he says.
''Dismiss ell prosecutions under third
section Of the act to enforce the right of
citizens of the United States TO vote in
the several States of the Union, where
the offeBse is not the distinction forbid
den in the section"
"The meaning of this answer is,
briefly, that only in cases where col
ored citizens are rejected by regis
tiers need prosecution be pressed to
conviction. Nh. Alderman cOnsid-
ers that the main design of the act
was to protect colored citizens in their
rights against the rebel disorganizers,
and hence his answer"

Virginia, he says:

THE Democratic hosts of Tennessee
are fast consolidating, and in a short
time there win be in the South, az
there is already in the North, but one
grand national organization in oppo-
sition to Radicalism, and that will be
the Democratic party. With the de-
mise Of the Wing party, the Demo
cratic party gathered into its embrace
all the finer and purer materials of
that glorious old organization; so that
the DemOcrotic party of to-day, ex-
cepting an occasional fungus growth,
is as pure, unselfish, and devoted to
principle and the Constitution, as
were the people in the grand old days
when Wings and Democrats met each
other face to face on the hust-
ings. The Democratic party with
which the Wings formally united
themselves two years ago, is a greater
aud a grander party than was either
of the two old parties in its best days,
and it has a greater and a grander
work before it. The only hope for
the South is in the harmonious CO.
operation of the Democratic party.
Unless we would perpetuate Rsdical-
ism, establish despotism, central-
ization, the Democratic party
must be preserved in its vigor and
strength. 1t must be maintained first
of all in the Southern States, because
in the nature Of the questions now
agitating the united South must furn-
ISL the broad and firm base for the
Democratic superstructure. 1t Is
a singular anomaly that the
Northern people should in
cur eOntumely and ostracism for pro-
posing to free the South under the
name of the Democrats, while many
in the South would reject the name
or consider itsO odious that they must
stick on the meaningless word Of
Conservative. If the Democrats Of
the North were to call themselves
Republican Democrats, they would,
no doubt, succeed. But they love
principles, and will not win victory
by an abandonment of a name which
is significant of devotion to the Con-
stitution and hate for despotism. The
Northern Democrats cannot sustain
themselves against an all prevalent
and popular fanaticism, except they
are backed by the moral power of a
united South, for whom they are
struggling and enduring hate and per-
seeution. We must be true to our
selves-true to the great COlstitu-
tional party of the Union, and this
we cannot be by spurning the name

globe. Within q brief period they
will realize that with the extremely
rapid and cheap system of transporta-
ton which obtains all over the world,
there can be no very great differences
of condition between the laboring
populations of different countries. IL
labor advance in the South, or its re-
wards are greater here than in
Germany, the stream of immi-
grafton viii speedily adjust
differences and equalize prices,
Railroads, steamships, the war in
Europe, which will unsettle vast pop
ulations and make men think, will
induce multitudes TO seek homes
where labor gains the richest rewards
and where life is invested with great
est delights. But this is only one ef-
feet of this rapid Interchange OF popu-
lations between the different countries
of the globe. Local patriotism viii
be dissipated. 1t will disappear be-
fore the face of changeful migratory
populations. The country farmer and
property holder of the city may cling
to that sentiment of which the idea OF
local independence was born, but the
great trading community and import
ed populations from other lands, the
nomadic classes from European and
Northern States having no stake in
the soil-what do or will they care
for one country. more than another?
The love of personal independence
may remain as strong as ever before,
but the sentiment of local attachment
and of patriotism, of necessity be-
comes extinct. Steam, telegraphs and
the press multiply cosmOpolitans, as
intelligence is rapidly diffused, and
loeomotiOn becomes cheap and rapid,
and those who deem the wide world
their home, and care for no part of it,
and love mankind instead, will soon
outnumber fixed populations. OF the
effect of these facts upon Southern
communities, we may hereafter speak,

Floater. The Falcon is hardly just
in its criticism upon the conduct OF
Memphis, when it asserts that this

we believe, the great mass OF the
Democracy of Memphis, when we
say that Upton is surely entitled to

There is a Radical sheet printed
semi-occasionally in Memphis called
the Republican, which is much given
t. lecturing on the subject of decency
aud fairness on the part of the press
Whatever otherwise the merits OIL de
merits Of this paper, it has certainly
been somewhat successful in illustrat-
ing the difference between preaching
and practice. In proof, we may cite
an article in its issue of Thursday,
headed Foley and Bingham, which,
for epithet and low-fiung abuse, has
not before been matched in the city.
Some Of the charming epithets, which,
according to the doctrine of the sheet,
are inadmissible, even when APP
piled TO the worst characters,
are selected for samples, as
follows: slow scoundrelism," "de-
based creature y "chronic beggar for
small crumbs, " "vilest prostitution of
the infinitesimal amount Of soul and
conscience that nature had wasted on
his worthless carcass" ''wretched
creature" he "foundered like a
whale" ''puffed and beloved like a
bull" and ''squirmed like fifty live
eels on a hot grid-iron,p memory
which twas like a piece of fabulous
india-rubber that would stretch a hun
dred miles" but mot one-millionth
part of an inch toward the truth"
"stupid baseness, y ''dirty little sheet,
never at home but in the gutter,D
"canings and kickings," "can never
teach him decency," 'shis dirty hands
deep into the county treasury 'little
vulgar SOUL" "immoral nature.''
''stupid, worthless and depraved.p Is
not this charming practice as coming
from one who sets himself up to teach
decency to men guilty of no greater
Ofiense than that of calling scOundrels
by their right names?
