former having called upon the latter for al ex-
PLANTATION of an expression Of opinion in regard
to Gen. Butler being Il candidate for Governor
of Mass. There was much rather sharp talk
between them Butler said Sumner had op-
posed Grant and all his measures. Being press
ed to name the measures, he could only call

that the Washington Chronicle makes upon all
this, is "that if the story is true, then 1t would
appear that Senator Sumner trod squarely ON
the corns of Gen. Butler. The Senator also
asked 4 question which would seem to show
that he does not love President Grant more
than he ought to.
