Correspondence Of the New York Democrat.
AsTHoR HOUSE, Fibyezsry siven. Mis-
Their Idiotor:--The top of the morning
till yez. Begorrs, am in New York SO
much l can't be afther kaping thrack of
uiesilf. Me cousin kapes me on swivel,
and points me fherever the enemy is the
thickest, like shwamp angel, though it's
shealthy ovid angel am, to be sure. Ye
see, me cousin Ulisses found it was nices-
sary to be doing something to kape the
Dimmecrats from having the batiDgs of
him in making frinds wild the Faynians.
He losht valuable time in having onything
to do wild Tom Murphy, wild his promises
Of capturing the Faynians, finch he
couldn't do, so it was NECESSARY to resort
to desperate measures, finch was Bin
Butler. Me cousin says that if we can't
get the Irish vote for him in the mkt cleo
ton, he is gone till the divil surely, and so
we hid Cabinet mating to talk it over.
Butler and me cousin and Bridget and
mesilf, and the spotted dog that was pre-
suited be the Illinois postmaster, were
prisent. Butler said that wild little in
shtruction he could, he thought, pass
himself off for Faynian, and he axed me
did l think could give him the NECESSARY
outlines to pass himself off for an Irish
man. towld him that it would be the
worsht job of galvanizing that was liver
attempted, but would do my besht to
counteract the work which nature
had wrought. The reputation he had
for sataliDg, l towld him, would
work seriously against US, and the
cock in his eye would be the names of de-
tectiUg him among Iriahmen, however
much he might be disguised otherwise;
but as me cousiu's future PROSPERITY was
at shtake, l would shtraighten his eye
wild club and make a brevet Irishman
of him, we'll calculated to deceave all but
the besht of judges. So we decided that
the firsh thing he mustn't do was to inthro-
duce q resolution Until Congress to well
come the Faynians, and thin go to New
York, and let nature take its course.
We tuck rooms at the Asthor House
Bin and mesilf did, and l have been tsch-
ing him noight and day how to act loike
an Gishman. He has got so he can say
"E-in go Bragh" WidOut any wind escap-
ing through his nose loike Yankee, and
he SAYS ''be jabers" so mare loike meailf,
that sometimes l wonder fhither he is me
and | am Butler. BegOrra, he has coun-
terfeited me so close that, at breakfast,
this morning, he acted as drunk as aither
me cousin Ulisses or mesilf, and fiat do
yez think did, Sure, and me pockets
were full of spboons Whin l got up from
the table. The head waiter paid no attn
ton, only he said to another waiter that l
was one of Buffers pupils, and sll the
shpoons would be charged to Butler at
the Office.
Ye mind, the psple are going TO give
RECEPTION and procession to the Fayni-
ans on Thursday. Ye may have noticed
that a large flock Of nagers have been
promised position in the line of march.
That is only a bit of the shtrategy Of
Butler and me4ilf and me cousin Ulisses.
Butler blAcktd his face and put q patch
over his coIk-screW eye, and otherwise
dlshguised himself as = mayer, and whit
to Mishier GinerAl Twade and towld
him that five Thousand colored men
lOike himself wanted to march wild
the Fsynians, and Ginersl Pwade,
bliss his HART, tOwld Butler to
come on wild his nagers. 90 we shall be
wild thin. If yez want to rscognoize
Butler and me.elf whin the PROCESSION
goes by, jist look out for two min at the
head Of the nsgers wild bouquets in the
buttouholes of their understands, and
shpotted dog hitched IL won of the men
wild shtriDg. That's mesilf-nOt the
dog that is mesilf, but the won lading
him. Och, but he is valuable dog. He
cosht country Posht Office in Illinois.
Ye want to pay great attintion to the
mayer part of the precision.
Perhaps we may have heard something
about me cousins appointing Misther
Butler intill the Cabinet. He has not
been appointed yet, and he has only got
the promise Oh conditions If Butler can,
be the position he has taken wild regard
till the Faynisns, convince me cousin
that the Faynisns will vote for me cousin
for mkt President, then Butler will be
appointed to supersade Fish. All Butler
hiss got TO 60 is 10 get q
certificate from O'DOnOvsn Rosa
and 3 few others that they will use
all their influence to git the LiGbmen to
vote the Republican ticket. 1t sames Sisy
enough to Butler, but from some remarks
have heard, incidentally made at Sowa-
nevis Hotel, where the exiles are shtop-
ping, | fare me frind Butler is too sand
guine of success. l wint Gown till that
hotel to -dsy, hsring that free lunch was
to be enjyed, and saw a FayDisn wild q
long mustsche, laEing On shtame pipe.
l walked up to him, and says /:
lam cousin of Misther Grant, and
in token of me appreciation Of yez ser
vices in endeavOring 10 free Ireland, |
will take drink wild yez at yer own ex-
| pinse, the same as me cousin UGsses
would if he were here. III take piece
of lemon il bit of hot tishky."
Fiat do yez think this Faynian sale 2
He turned to the bar-kSper, and throwing
down quarter of dollar, says he:
"Give this hummer something hot, and
kick him out doors at me expinse," and
he walked away.
Begorra, the bar-keeper did as directed,
and left me on the sidewalk in Chatham
shtrate wild headache and bit of rheu-
matism where his foot let 60 of me. Is
that Ony way to trate q cousin of the
besht Government the world liver saw,
dunnoi But We shall be in the precision
| sisy enough.
The papers thish morning in giving al
account of the railroad accident said that
the trunks on the train had $50, 900
worth of jewelry in them, and l have moi
sane Butler since. l think he has gone
I'D there to assist about recovering the
baggage, but be will be back before
night.
Me cousin was feeling mOighty bac
Hhin l left Washington because Colfa1
has gone back on him. Ye see, ivel
since Colfax become a father he has
been down on me cousin for nothing
IN the world only because me cousin
wanted Uolfsxs boy named "ulisse'
Is. Cylfax," and he has taken livery
way to get ayen wild me cousin fol-
the outrage on his poor innocent child
| The lasht thing Colfax did was to deliver
q temperance lecture in Washington or
the subject of Temperance in Higi
Places" Az coOrse it could name no OF
| but me cousin Ulisses. 1t could not b.
| otherwise than unpleasant for me cousin
