THE friends of Gen. Butler declare that the
criticisms of the Hartford Courant upon that
gentleman are inspired by dislike of Gen.
Butler by Gen. Hawley, the eiitor of that pa
per, who was relieved from the command of
division of the army Of the James for incom-
potency and incapacity. Gen. Butler was
great man for making removals; but if his
friends can show a single instance of sue
cess dependent upon the skillful handling and
fighting of troops by Gen. Butler they will
contribute something to the credit of that gen.
tleman that he does not now have the reputa-
ton of deserving. Gen. Hawley can at least
compare his record in the field for capacity
with Gen. Butler. Outside of military mat
ters Jos. R. Hawley is so much worthier than
Benz. f. Butler that there is no ground to in.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Ex-Con-
gresham Bowen, convicted of bigamy
and sentenced to two years imprisOn-
ment, is still confined in the county
Jail here. He does not suffer much
from a rigorous confinement, being
furnished with the best room in the
building and allowed the freedom Of
the Jail and grounds. He is furnished
with meals from his own home, and is
visited daily by a number of friends.
1t is generally believed that he will
be speedily pardoned. The case was
favOrably considered in the cabinet
meeting of last Friday, and the At
torney General recommended his
pardon. Papers in the hands of the
Attorney General will be forwarded
to the President tomorrow. The
friends of Bowen express positive be-
lief that he will get his seat in Con-
gress from the second district in South
Carolina over De Large, COlored, the
sitting member. Three managers of
the elections in the county where De
Large was given by them a majority
of five thousand have been tried upon
an indictment for fraud and convicted.
The friends of Bowen also say that the
wholesale stuffing Of the ballot box on
the election day can be proven beyond
doubt, and still other evidence re.
mains. Other managers now on trial
for the same Offense will in likelihood
be convicted, which will make De
Large's election invalid.

No Ku KIur.

WARRINGTON, June 19.-GeneraI
James Clinton, Of Alabama, was
examined by the Ku KluX Commit
tee to-day; he did not believe any
regular Ku kluX organization ever
existed IN Alabama. He had heard
of outrage in few localities by dis
guised men, but Alabama was peace
ably and quiet, as before the war.
No more violence had occurred there
since the war than in any Northern
State. A greater part Of crime In
Alabama had been committed by
members OF the Radical party than by
members OF the Democratic party.
The State is in favor Of educat-
ing the negroes. The only intimida-
finn he knew Of at the last election,
was bv Radical cOlOred voters against
those Of their own color, who wanted
to vote the Democratic ticket. The
cause of all troubles was not the
brave men who fought one another In
the late war, but the pOlitians, suffers
and horse holders, who followed the
armies. The true men of each army
respected one another, and were will
ing to forgive and forget. The
leaders Of the Radical party in Ala
bama were, with few exceptions, des-
utute Of moral character; in fact,
mere regular spOrtsmen. Most of the
negroes had behaved well. A gener-
Ous policy on the part OF the Govern
ment would be best, and subserve
the interests Of both races in the
South. and soonest restore that fra
ternal feeling and the affection which
once existed for union. The South
loved our form of government, but alb.
horred its maladministratiOn. He
had always eOuns6lled submission to
law and order, and believed it could
and would be preserved IN his state,
WIthnut any outside Interlerance.

The Cincinnati ENQUIRER indignant.
ly protests against the New York
Worlds comparison of the "Confed-
crates Of the South" with the Com
munists Of Paris, and calls it "cOW-
ardly defamation"
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
the late Ex-Governor Of Ohio was the
president of the first national political
convention that was ever held in the
United States. It met in Baltimore
in 1882, and nominated Andrew Jack
son, of Tennessee, for President, and
Martin Van Buren, of New York, for
Vice President. Governor Lucas
name also headed the first Jackson
electoral ticket ever run in Ohio.
The Ohio Republican newspapers
which have favored the nomination
OF Mr.. Wade for Governor seem not
only to have given up the contest on
his part, but TO have found that the
convention will most emphatically
demand that the Administration shall
take radical departure" in favor
Of several reforms. The Cincinnati
GGzette says The Republican con-
ventiOn will adopt a resolution in favor
OF civil service reform. A resolution
will also be adopted In favor of GEN
eral amnesty and tariff reform"

acts adopted by Congress, are as Who'll.

NEW YORK, June 2O.-A dispatch

officers Of the New York Central Rail

OF the prOmulgatiUn of the Commits

such information about it as enabled
those officers to save themselves from
loss. The sum received for informa-
ton thus sold, is stated to the Presi-
dent to be 5000. Without vOuching
at all for the truth Of this story, L can
assert positively that this information
was given the President, and the res
