was instituted when the little fellow was fond
nearly dead from blows on the head. The older
boy was not to be found, but was subsequently
arrested in Cambridge. The younger boy died

Galen, the most celebrated physician flourished in

His cures marvellous that he was accused of
magic. His mighty skill and success silenced his en-

mixtures took its place. But the clouds breaking

Harmony Grove, birmingham Mass, was
filled with an audience of seven thousand on
the Fourth which desired to see Gen. Butler in
the somewhat novel character of temper
ance and prohibition champion. The Gen
e:al did not arrive at the Grove until the
middle of the afternoon and as the meeting
was organized at noon, the friends of temper
ance and other reforms had made speeches
and prepared a pledge for the new born
temperance champion to sign. Rev. Mr..
Clarke of Mendon in a violent speech op-
posed Gen. Butler ON every ground and
charged him with being the artful dodger in
politics. Mr.. Godfrey, the chairman, read
pledge to the meeting favoring prohibition,
woman suffrage and the equalization of laoor
and capital, which the meeting voted, should
be presented to Gen. Butler fol his accept
ance or refusal. If he refused, it was under
stood that Gen. Butler was not to be consd-
cred temperance man to that degree that
he would be worthy of the votes of temper
ance men.
In due time Gen. Butler came. A band
preceded him, playing "Hail to the Chief"
The chairman. as he approached the stand,
called for three cheers for the "hero of New
Orleans" These were given in moderation,
but the call for three more for the hero of
Fort Fisher, met no response.
Immediately after his arrival, Gen. Butler
was introduced to the audience who were ev-
ileutly curious to know what he had to say
i'll behalf of temperance in general, and pro-
hibition in particular. But demagogue and
artful dodger as he is, he felt more at home
discussing question foreign to the purpose
for which the meeting was called; and after
lengthy peroration, launched into tedious
discussion of the railroad question, in which
he assumed the generally admitted ground,
that it was not advisable for State govern
ments TO go into the management of railroads.
This continued, until his speech was two
thirds concluded, when he turned his atten-
tion to the enforcement of the prohibitory
law in Massachusetts,, charging that the off
GERS were unfaithful and impartial seeking
out with microscopic vision, the corner grog-
gerry with its gallon jug and passing by the
puncheons of the rich man. Elect him Gov
ernor, and he would enforce the law, and if
1t was good law, it would stand, and If it
was an unwise one, it would be repealed.
The only suggestion he made was the child
ish one that the Legislature might take
away the charter of such railroad companies
as transported liquor over their lines. He
did not announce to the people, that he
had seen the evil of his ways and become
convert to total abstinence. His Revere
House meeting when he announced his can
didacy, was so recent an event, that the
sound ofits revelry and the click of its glasses
could almost be heard; as to prohibition,
manly statement of his conviction on that
question, if any he has, would not help his
canvass and so he closed his speech without

TUESDAY, OCTOBER II, 1873.

At meeting of The members of the Bar OF
the U. S. Supreme Court yesterday, to take
action in reference to the death Of the late
Chief Justice Chase, a committee was appoint
ed who reported series Of resolutions eulogis-
tic of the character Of the deceased, and ten
dering his family the siucere sympathy Of the
meeting In their loss; and further, requesting
the Attorney General Of the United States TO
move in the Supreme Court that the resou-
tions be entered on the minutes, and as fur
Their mark of respect that the members OF the
Bar will wear the usual badge Of mourning for
thirty days MIR. Reverdy johnson, who pre-
sided at the meeting, in the course of his re-
marks upon the character Of the deceased, said
that he felt that he was in all respects equal to
his predecessors. When the appointment was
made although he had high appreciation OF
his talents aud ability as legislator aud officer
Of the Government, and was satisfied Mr.. Chase
was truly great man, he had his doubts con-
ceruirg his capacity for the distinguished judi
cial position; but in this he mistook, for his de-
csions, involving so many delicate and import
ant questions growing out of our sad civil strife,
from the very first commanded the approval OF
the profession aud Of the country.
