WILMINGTON. DEL
Saturday, August %. 1873,



Ben Butler, with boldness peculiar TO
the highwa, man, made long and
labored defense of the Congressional party
Implicated in the Back Salary Steal at
Washington, which has called forth
numerous reloinders. We have seen
none, however, that in our Judgment
meets the case so sharply as that OF the
Hon. George +. llOar, OF Massachusetts,
who was one of the first, if not the first, to
refuse the money He did not think that
the money was stolen, but he thought
the voliug.of il very Objectionable, and
extreme exercise Of constitutional power.
Butler charges those who decline
taking the money with a desire to
buy glory, while Mr.. Hoar be-
lieyes him to be incapable of un-
derstaudiug that any person can do
anything because he thinks il is right,
and says that his (Butler's) real grief
arises from the opposition he is encOun-
teriug in his efforts to get possession of
the government Of Massachusetts. Mr..
Hoar also says that he believes Governor
WashhUrn TO he an honester, ADLER, and
filter man. lie says that Buffers propo-
sition to pay oil the national debt in ire
decmahc rapcr was q species Of repudia-
ton, that was promptly checked by Gen.
Grant, when he saidiin his inaugural "Let
10 he understood that no repudiator Of
one farihrng of our public bebt, will be
trusted in public place"
lie further asserts that there is nc
other man whose life is one prolonged
quarrel with his associates in
public station that he had quarrelled
with Grant and Wilson, CollaX and
Blaine, Andrews and Sumner, the Wash
burns and Bingham, Schenck and Dawes
because he is 0uarrelsome, and that they
had punished him because he deserved te
he whipped. Mr.. lioar admits howeS er
Tint Builder did two things we'll. He out
hlackguardcd a New York mob in 1851
and with a United States army at hii
back, kept down a rebel city in 1862, bu
that he never accomplished anything els,
Of much importance, when his point coulC
not be canied by sheer blustoringi anG
that the history OF all his other attempts
may he comprised in three words
swaggcr, quarrel, failure.
This is hard on Butler, who at one tim
appeared to be the most successful candl
dafa for the Covpruorsbin of Massarhu
sets.

BRUTAL AssAULT.-We learn from
the physi clan in attendance of ter
rible outrage perpetrated upon the
person OF Polander's wife living in
the town of BeetownIwhich OCCURRED
on Monday last. Sometime since the
woman's husband traded horses with
one X. Ward, agreeing 10 give the
latter two calves as the difference,
soon after the trade the Poland er learn
ed that he had been cheated and would
not give up the horse, although he
had given up possession of the caves.
The Poles wife, not feeling satisfied
with the matter, undertook to regain
possession of the calves and endeavor-
ed to take the calves from Wards
pasture. Ward, great burly fellow,
took the woman by the throat, struck
her and tried to throw her over the
fence. The woman not knowing
what she was about got up and in
trying to obtain help waded through
the ice cold water of Grant river some
three or four times, and is now suf-
fering fro m a severe case of lung fe-
yer. The woman is enceinte and the
DR.. does not know the extent of her
internal injuries. Should she die, the
man Ward will undoubtedly find him.
self in trouble.
