BUTLER, the Radical Governor of Ne
braska, has been convicted, and~deprived
of his office. His friends strazssd hard
to save him, as did the friends of Holden
of North Carolina, but the proof was too
strong to be resisted. Two Radical Gov
ernors. of States have been impeached and
Sisgraced within a year, and two more, the
Governor of Florida, and the Governor of
Arkansas. escaped the same fate by dodg-
ing and twisting the testimony against
them.
OF Butler. the Omaha Herald says that
one of the charges was in relation to the
school fund. OF the disposition of the
money, that paper says: at has been
squandered upon political favorites felon-
iously, in violation of both the. criminal
and civil statutes of the State" And the
school lands, it declares, have been dis
posedof in a like way and charges that
"the Republican party is solely response
bic for the wrongs and robberies which
have wasted those possessions upon yag-
abonds and adventures who have rieted
in the spoil" The erection of the public
buildings at Lincoln, the new seat of gov
eminent, opened up a fine field for plum
dering the public, in which.Governor But
Ter was also engaged. For these and nu-
merous other otFenses of a Ike charact Ell
he was tried and removed.

HoRR1BIE details of the total de.

HORRIBLE details of the total destruc-
ton of the Peruvian ship, Don Juan, set
on fire at sea, and supposed to have been
done by coolies entrapped on board at
Macao, have been received by steamer.
The crew abandoned the vessel, with five
hundred and fifty coolies fastened under
the matches. Five hundred of them roas-
ted alive. The others escaped when the
matches burned off. She was an American
built ship, and was sold to the company
by Maratina De Peru, of San Francisco,
and christened the Dolores Uquante. She
was fitted oat at San Francisco for the
-%coolie trade, and returned there several
times for the supplies while engagedin the
traffic.

sSsS- his return from Texas. His
ch was decidedly anti Grant. He said
free speech had prevailed as it should
have done prior to the var and a full and
free interchange of opinion between the
North and South there needed have been
no war. He complimented the Democracy
on their departure" said sit had always
been a rule of his life never to c%onjure a
bad motive for a good action"
He spoke in severe terms of the Ku-
Klux, which he said the Government
ought to extirpate at once and for ever;
and in severe and more sarcastic terms con-
demnation of the thieying earpet-baggers,
who he said were a curse to the South and
a disgrace to the North from whence they
came. Carpet-baggers who plumber and
prey upon negroes and poor whites, he
said were the greatest existing obstacle to
Republican ascendency in the South, and
so he denounced them. Abiding to his
speech at Vicksburg, Mr.. Greeley said he
did not say he trusted the time would
come when we of the North would honor
Lee and Stonewall Jackson as we honor
Grant and Sherman, but that he hoped
the time would come when all Americans
North and South will feel just pride in the
military character and achievements Of
Lee and Stonewall Jackson, just as we of
the North now take pride in the character
and achievements of Grant and Sherman

OLD Ben WADE is out in a letter ex-
pressing his willingness to run as the rad
zeal candidate for governor. @old pro-
family is the Grant candidate. 1t seems
to lie between Wade and Noyes of Gin
onnati. As a candidate old Ben would
make the most nOisa, we presume. We
are glad to see the Republican State Con-
vention IN the 26th have candidate:
enough. The experience of this country
is that candidates for Office are Away;
abundant whether the prospect for an
election thereto is good or bad. Whoever
has a good estimate of himself, and most
men have, is apt to imagine his great pop
ularity will command a large vote from
the other side. Conceits of this kind are
often visible and we would not wonder i
old Ben Wade was just fool enough tc
think that with the Administration inAu-
ence he is the only man in his party who
can be easily elected.

Nor in years has the Democratic nomi-
nations for State Offices been so sharply
and earnestly contested as in the Conven-
ton Of Thursday. This, together with
the interest excited in regard to the plat
form, is a good sign. 1t was understood
that business was intended-that the hon
OBS bestowed were not to be barren ones,
but that we were going to work for victo-
ry. Hence the efforts made by so many
candidates to get their names on the tick
