This is said by the Chicago TriJune:

The irrepressible Butler is plotting vigor-
Ously in Massachusetts. He attends Grant
meetings with unfaltering regularity. and
manages to turn them all into Qualifications
Of his own matchless virtues lie Is fond of
reminding his auditors that the very men
who are now opposed TO Grant were OPP
posed t. himself during the last guberna-
torial campaign. The inference is plain.
Grant men must be Butler men. Ii the

Breaking Up of a steamboat Line.

This is a New York special to the st.
Louis Globe:
The reduction Of fare on the rival lines
OF the steamboats, to Troy, the Citizens
and Hancock lines composed of the Sunny
side and Powell, the Connecticut and the
Vanderbilt, respectively, appears to be at
an end, and furthermore, to have ended
disastr0usly for the Hancock party. On
her arrival, on Saturday forenoon, the Con
necticut, it is said, was seized for debt by
New Jersey sheriff and tied up at the
Jersey City dock. On Sunday evening the
Vanderbilt made her last trip from Troy,
an officer being on board to seize her when
she reached this city, The small steamer
Golden Gate, also owned by the line, which
Is used to transport passengers between Al
bany and Troy at low water, owing 10 the
great draft of the large steamboats,, is also
reported to have been seized. Several rea-
sons are assigned for the breaking up Of
the line, but there appears to be but little
doubt that the line has been run all season
at considerable pecuniary loss, the reduc-
ton of the rate Of fares to ten cents having
brought a class Of passengers who were I'M
able or unwilling TO hire staterOOms. Since
the opposition has ceased the Citizens has
raised the fare from fifty cents to 81 50,
and II is said it's stock has advanced from
sixty-seven to ninety per cent. The Troy
boat will not stop at Albany except on
Sunday nights, when no boat leaves that
city. captain Hancock has been an OppO-
sitiOnist in Hudson river navigation for the
past thirty years, and has done much to-
ward securing cheap fares for the masses.

Ieportthat George n Sanders recently ac-
cOmpanied Horace Greeley to church
Since this bit Of gossip has run the rounds
at last making its appearance in the once
decent columns Of the Eoe1siHg Post-our
curiosity led us to inquire Of Mr.. Greeley
as to the truth or falsehOOd Of the story. He
promptly responded that. while he should
gladly welcome Dir. Sanders, or any other
acquaintance to worship in DR.. Chapin's
Westinghouse, yet. from the creation of the
world to this twenty-secOnd Of July, 1872,
it had never been his fortune to see George
n. Sanders in anys church, chapel or con
yenticle whatever, 1t is none Of our bust
ness; but if any one else has been privi-
legged in this respect over Dir. Greeley. viii

The travellers in balloon which recently
started from Boston say that the bottom of
the ocean in shoal places was distinctly
visible to them while passing over the sea,
and that the abundant growth of seaweed
caused the vessels to appear as if sailing in

President McCOsh. of Princeton College,
having been asked at the Vermont Univer-
sity dinner, the other day, how he managed
to obtain so much money for Princeton, re
piled that it had all come spontaneously;
he had never asked for a dollar, and did not
wish when he died that the text should be,
"And it came to pass that the beggar died
and was buried" He said that nowadays
no one who was worth a hundred thousand
dollars would dare hold up his head in
society unless he devoted a portion Of it to
educational purposes, and he was proud to
say that this custom originated in Boston.

The great ubiquitous deniaen of the
ocean so often seen in various parts of
the aquatic world made his appearance
off Bay Point Sunday afternoon, about
3 o'clock. The gentleman who witnessed
his great serpentship states; when he first
saw the monster he was heading for
Trenchard's Inlet, but subsequently,
changed his course towards the point.
He states that he should Judge him to
have been sixty or seventy feet in length.
His head was entirely out of water. and
as large as barrel. There were protu-
berances or humps upon his back, which
were seen just above the water, eight in
number.
After taking good survey of the
land, he swan to point midway be-
tween Hilton Head and Philips Island,
and then started aeaward. The gentle
man could see him distinctly until he
reached the outer buoy, when he again
changed his course, and was then lost
sight of. The day was mild and still,
and his royal snakeship undoubtedly had
a good time. The waters of South Ga

VIM. Sands and his wife are poor peo-
pie, living on Copper Ridge, Union
County, Tennessee. On Thursday last.
this couple had three children, the
youngest being an infant abont ono year
old. Mr.. and Mrs Sands went out that
day into field, near the house, to bind
fodder, leaving the three children, the
eldest OF whom was yet four ears of age,
in the house. In about twenty minutes
Mrs. Sands returned, and was horror.
stricken to find the infant hung to the
back of chair dead. 1t appeared that
the baby had climbed up on chair to
the bed, and, in getting down again
from the bed, its slip caught in the pro-
jeoting upright of the back of the chair,
which, as the infant tried to get on tho
floor, pushed up through the slip to the
neck. The button hold on, the light
weight Of the infant not being sufIi cient
to tear it away, and, as the feet of the
baby could not reach to the floor, the
sad result was that it soon suffocatcd.
The other two children were too small
even to know OF the danger which quick
~ ended the life of their little brother.

ARCHBISHOP BAYLEY ON LIBERrY OF
CoNsoIENoE.-At the banquet given to
Arohbishop Bayley in Baltimore, on
Sunday, according to the New York He
rdat in response to sentiment offered
by Archbishop McCloskey, of New York,
that long life, health, prosperity and
happiness, with Gods blessing, might
attend the Metropolitan of the first Pro-
vinclal See OF the UGited States, Aroh-
bishop Bayiey rose and said, that while
1t was against his personal wish that he
had been appointed to preside over the
Archdiocese Of Baltimore, the bishops
and clergy of the province should not
understand this. he came, among them
unwilllDGly. This remark was received
with applause. Then, rising to his full
height, the Archbishop said that he was
glad to pc among the right reverend and
reverend clergy Of an Archdiocese which
bore noble Catholic patrouymic. He
had, lp his discourse that day, alluded
to the fact that he was as good Mary
isnder as any of his aock. He had al
ways admired tte heroic spirit of Lord
Baltimore, and believed in perpetuating
it.. He never did believe in opposing
liberty Of conscience, and was an earnest
advocate Of it's fullest exercise. At this
point, Archbishop BAyley looked toward
Archbishop MoCloskey, who was sitting
on his right, and paused as if awaiting
his approving smile. Every eye was
fixed upon him. snd many OF the clergy,
with uplifted hands, stood ready to ap-
plaud the sentiment, but the Archbishop
OF New York, with rigid face. sat un-
moved, and gave no manifestation OF
approval.
Archbishop Bayley. however, reits-
| rated the sentiment. He concluded by
remarking that he supposed he had been
appointed to his present important trust
because, among other reasons. he was
known to be uhalterably opposed to the
materialistio spirit of the age, which was
40 utterly antagonistio to all the princi-
pies of religion; and because, further, he
was known to be an inveterate enemy OF
the great evil of intemperance."
ln regard to the above the Baltim ore
Sun says:
"It is understood that Archbish on
Bayley said he was opposed to forcing u
mans conscience, and that he did mol
make use of the expression credited to
him in the despatch" 1"

OF tuesday, gives the particulars of the
arrest of the Waterford New York;
bank robbers who recently got into that
institution, gagged the cashier and stole
S3O0,000. 1t says:
1t was ascertained that carriage, con-
tanning; three men, had been driven
rapidly through Oohees at an early hour
Monday morning, and down the turn
pike road leading to Albany, through the
toll-gate of which the vehicle was rapidly
driven, at about O'Clock, the driver
failing to pay the toll. This gate is half
mile North of the boundaries of Albany.
and here all traces of the carriage cease.
At 10 o'clock two men took the train at
Albany for New York, but got out at
Castleton. some eight miles below there,
aad hiring carriage for Stuyvesant,
they proceeded there, where they took
later New York train.
In the meantime the news of the rob-
berry had reached Castleton, and the eta.
tion agent there, suspecting something
wrong on the part of the two mon, tele-
graphed to Stuyvesant, when he learned
that the men had gone on to New York
by the cars. Another telegram to Hud.

arrested. They refused to give their
names, but resident of Troy. it is said,
who was in Hudson, recognized one OF
them as "Rst" Curley, notorious bank
robber and planner OF burglaries. The
name OF the other is unknown, but he
and the other seven are supposed to be
New York thieves.
A reward OF $4,000 has been offered
Tor the arrest OF the robbers. The bank

OF greenbacks from the Troy banks
enabling it to meet oil demands made
thus fur.
