a Severe but Just Word About 2. F.
Butler.
rrRox ous OWN CORRESPONDENT.
From the Nation.

When we conser that there is probably not
man in the United States that would say he
respected Butler, o. had tile slightest con1l-
ience in him. that his attempts III legislation
have all displayed wickedness and folly in
about equal proportions. and that he has prob
ably done as much 10 debase the tone o. public
life at Washington as any ten Of the worst
men who have ever made their appearance in
Congress, the tender indulgence with which
the press treats him is highly discreditable,
and very mischevous US well. 1t is bad enough,
in all conscience, to have such man return-
ed by a Massachusetts constituency, but when
the leading papers Of the party Of mora! ideas
always treat him as simple oddity, and his
tricks and lodges as the playful gambols of
rich and exuberant nature, they help greatly
to lower the public standard Of craftsmanship,
and open political life 10 charlatans and rogues
of all degrees. If the respectable Republican
press would only give him his due, the task OF
finishing him might apparently be left to Mr.
Farnswor.h. who is evidently too much Tor
him, and reioices IN hunting him with a saw
age joy.

SHOOTING AND ROBBERY.
Az Arkansas Tax. Collector Shot and
Robbed by Two HIghwaymJn.
From the Little Rock Gezette.l

From the Little Rock Gezstts.l
WASHINGTON, HEMPsTEAD COUN-
TY, January l2.-Thinking that some
facts in regard to the highway rob-
berry which was perpetrated yester-
day evening on the persons Of j. l..
Hill, Deputy Sheriff, and E. M. Car
ruth, Clerk for the Collector Of
this county, would be Of interest to
you, / have concluded to give you a
statement in reference thereto. About
2 o'clock pm. yesterday 9th inst. ,,
as said Hill and CarTuth were return
ing from WallacebUrg, where they
had been collecting the State and
county tax for Red Land township,
in this county, they came to the Marl-
brook bridge, some seven and a half
miles east Of this place on the Little
Rock road, and seeing the bridge had
been partially washed up by the recent
rains they alighted from their buggy,
unlOOsed the horses and led them over
at a ford near the bridge. Just as
they reached this side the brook two
men rode boldly up to them, and
presenting each a Colts revolver at
the heads of Hill and CaTruth re-
spectively commanded them to
" stand and deIiUer or have there
heads blown Of" Carruth, being
taken 50 much by surprise, attempted
to spring behind the horse he was
leading, when one Of the robbers
fired on him. Carruth fell, apparently
dead, when the man sprang from his
horse and rushing to Hill, whom the
Others were guarding, disarmed him
and demanded the tax money. On
being told by Hill that he did not
have il be turned to Carruth, who
uVaq still living on his face IN the mud,
and turning him over proceeded to
rife his pockets. Carruth had by this
time revived somewhat from the
shock and asked the rObber If he was
Going to take his watch "a very fine
gold one). He replied mo-" say
ing he did not want private
property, but only the pubic
funds in his possession, which having
secured, to the amount Ofabout $1,000,
proceeded to assist Carruth into the
buggy. During this time the other
robber was closely guarding Hill. The
men, after telling CarTuth that they
were sorry they had shot him and
that il he had stood still they would
not have hurt him at all, mounted
their horses and left in full speed,
going back In the direction Of Little
Rock, Some fifteen or twenty Of our
best young men are in hot pursuit,
and when last heard from were
only three hours behind the robbers.
Mr.. Carruth is a young man Of un-
blamable character, a lawyer by pro-
fession, with fine business quahhes-
tiOns, and is highly esteemed and
respected by every one. De was
brought In town yesterday, and is
nOW lying at the residence of Hon.
A. B. Williams, in quite critical
situation.
