Ben Butler Brought to Account.


Senator Davis, of X entucky, is Il very
aged man. His head is entirely white !;
his form thin his features pinched and
wrinkled. But the old man has all the
fire of impetuous youth. Hc is an able
lawyer and sound counsellor. The
other day Gen. Butler attempted to
browbcat the aged Senator while he
was delivering Il speech, and this is the
Senator's report of how he met the hero
of Big Bethel and Fort Fisher:
In the Senate, Davis, of Kentucky,
called attention to an offensive allusion
to himself in Al recent speech by Repre-
sentative Butler, of Massachusetts,,
on the floor Of the Senate last week.
He intimatcd having incurred that
members ennlity by his efforts several
years ago to compel Il restitution of sill
YER plate and other property belonging
to II loyal man, which Butler had seized
in New Orleans. The other day, when
addressing the Senate, he noticed But
Ter occupying the seat Immediately ad-
joining his own, and regarded both the
proximity and manner of that gentle
man as offensive. After resuming his
seat, Butler. continued an earnest and
excited look at him, whereupon he Da-
vis) faced him, and after looking him
in the eye for an instant, said to him !:
"You damned old scoundrel, are you
here to scowl and brow-beat me ?"
Laughter on Republican side.] He
made no reply, and repeated that Ian
guage. He then responded, 81 have
not addressed you, sir, or said II word
to YOU" then said, "what are you
here for:-why did you scowl at me?'
He replied, 81 did not scowl mt you !;
you are an old man." l rose to my
feet and advanced one step towards him
and said, 81 am young enough to go
with you from this Senate Chamber
whenever it is your pleasure At this
point Senator Wilson stepped between
us and laid his hand on Buffers shoul-
ders, said a few words to him, and they
walked Offtogether. Davis added, that
his sole purpose was to state the affair
as it took place and thus correct mis-
representation. 1t was not his inten-
ton to have any controversy with the
universally recognized black guard cow
ard and scoundrel of the United States
who, himself, did not dissent from the
general judgment against him.

An Affecting Scene.---A Judge Sentencing
IN old ScilOOfnutc to he Hanged!

The Memphis Sun gives the follow
ing account of the sentence of the Cubn
murlcrcrs:
Judge Flippin then spoke as follows: {:
nSamueI II. Poston, this is one of the
sadtlcst cr;ls in my life. Our parents
and their children knew each other.
We grew up together, went to the same
school, the same church, and played on
hill and in valley the same innocent
games in boyhood. Years have passed
since then. Our roads in life have di-
vcrgcd. You now stand convicted of a
great, II capital crime, and !, as the
minister of the law, have imposed upon
me the painful duty of passing upon
you the sentence of death. Were it
consistent with my official duties, l
'wouId that this cup could pass from
me- But l cannot now shrink from
the performance of this sad official re-
quirenent, and must not, and will not,
in the future, though other victims may
fall, to avcngc a. violated law. 1t is,
therefore, the sentence of the court that
you be rcmanded to the county Jail of
Shelby county, the place from whence
you came, to be there securely kept
until Friday, the 2Gth day of May next,
when you will be taken by the sheriff
of Shelby county, between the hours of
10 a. III. and 3 p. m, within one mile
and half of the courthouse of said
county, and then to be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul"
When POstOn was called, both the
Judge and Poston We're very much
moved. Poston shook like an aspen
leaf and had to grasp q chair for sup
port. At the conclusion of the sentence
Judge Flippin was in tears, as was also
nearly all the large crowd gathered
there. 1t was a most affecting scene,
and will ever be remembered by those
who witnessed it. 1t was surprise to
all to know the relation that had ex-
isted in early childhood between Judge
Flippin and Poston, and it must have
indeed been a sad thing for Judge Flip
pin to consign to death the playmate o
his early boyhood days.

Scene in the Senate.

Tho following brief but pithy dia-
fOugc occurred in the Senate between
Senator Morton, the administration
leader, and General Blair. 1t covers
tho whole question of black suffrage
and <u-I<lux legislation. General
Blair has a way of picking Il question
with a needles point:
The following dialogue took place be-
tween Blair and Morton: Mr.. Blair
desired to ask Mr.. Morton candidly if
the negroes hat not been entrusted with
the ballot in order to obtain Rcpubli-
can votes. Mr.. Morton replied that it
was we'll known that reconstruction
could not be accomplished on Il white
basis. The white people would not ac-
ccpt the situation. Mr.. Blair said they
did accept the situations; they did abol-
ish slavery ,and had never lifted n hand
against the Government, and whoever
says to the contrary says what is not
true. [Grcat applause in the galleries. |
The Chair [Mr. Anthony said that the
galleries must preserve order, or it
would be the duty of the Chair to order
them to be cleared.
The RAIDS are very sensitive of late on
the subject of applause from the CALLER
les. The galleries have got into the
habit of applauding on the wrong side
for them, and the whole country seems
to be initiating the habit.

More Radical RNscN1ity.

The present rulers of Louisiana ap-
pear to have as little idea of honesty
and official integrity as Intelligent be-
ings can possibly possess. We have
fresh evidence of their corruption in
the following from the New Orleans
Bulletin of Il late date:
Gov. Warmoth has entered suit in the
Eighth District Court to prevent the
payment of claims to the amount of
about one hundred thousand dollars
upon the appropriation for contingent
expenses of the General Assembly,
which claims are made under rcsolu-
tions entered upon the journal Of the
House, as passed at the last day of the
session, which closed last month. The
Governor avers that the resolutions did
not pass; that they were fraudulcntly
entered as passed by procurement of the
Speaker, Mr.. Carter. 1t is also nverrcd
that the Clerk, Mr.. VIM. Nigers, was
"coercetl" by the Speaker to- make Il
false record of the proceedings in this
connection. 1t is sincomprchcnsible how
tho Clerk could be "cOcrccd' to do such
Il thing. The Speaker must have curl
Gus ways to be able to compel the Clerk
of the House to write Il spurious journal,
publish it as Il genuine record and con-
ccal from the world for over II month
the violence that was used to make him
an Infamous instrument in the eXccu-
ton of Il scheme to plundcr the State.

The Lowest Type OF Humanity.

The following extract is from an ar
ticle on "Barbarisn and Civilizations"
in the Atlantic Monthly:
"On the Island of Borneo there has
been found Il certain race of wild crea-
lures, of which kindred varieties have
been discovered in the Philippine Is
lands, i'll Terra del Fuego ,and in South
America. They walk usually almost
erect on two legs, and in that attitude
measure about four feet In hight. They
construct no habitation, form no fami-
lies, scarcely associate together, sleep
in caves or trees, feed on snakes and
vermin, ants eggs or mice, and Oh
each other. They cannot be tanned or
forced to amy labor, and are hunted and
shot among the trees like the great gor-
rilla, of which they are Il stunted copy.
When they arc captured alive one finds
with surprise that their uncouth lab
bering sounds like articulate language.
They turn up IL human face to gaze at
their captor, and females show instincts
ofmodesty, and, in fine, these wretchetl
beings are men,
