From The Bosiom Josi"
It ia to bo observed that Gen. Butler verv
properly puts up President arant AZ lie f}c,ro
ut tho bead Of the column Of public dolinduonts
not 0BtDnSlQIy to accuse, but in order to defond
him .and no dcfonse Of ono who ,yas m ao-
knowlodgod party to this shameful scandal cnn
be other than nj, accusatiou. In arc,1inr thc
necessity Of increasing tho Executive ea1ary. ho
leaves It to be inferrei int tn ;nsn;rsi;no no
