The Washington correspondent of the Gin

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Times writes as follows:
Hereafter when member of Congress sells
the patronage of the Government, he must be
careful as TO how he uses the money. Poor
and he was expelled from his seat in the House
Butler, of Tennessee, ON the other hand, used
the proceeds of his sale of cadetship for sub
sidizing newspapers, and to carry the Tcnnes
see election in favor of the Republican party,
and he gets off with mild meaningless reso-
luton of censure. The only difference in the
two cases is the manner in which the money
was applied. Honorable members who regard
cd Whittcmore rs criminal of the deepest
dye because he took money for his cadctships.
and sent it into the district to build school
houses and feed the poor, yesterday voted nay
on the resolution to eXpel Butler, who confesses
to having sold his appointments and applied
the proceeds to beat the opposition. The out
side world will find it difficult to discover the
difference between the criminality of White
more and that Of Butler but Congressman are
for the most part keen lawyers and can find ar
