General b. F, Butler was questioned,
Thursday, by representative Of the Bos-
ton Herald as to his opinion regarding
Gen. Grants veto Of the imitation bill. Gen.
Butler said that he did not want to be
interviewed, but he would say that the
veto was q great surprise to himself as
we'll as to others. lie had expected the
President would sign the bill and had not
entertained a doubt that he would not do
so, He had not read the veto at that time
but could not see how Grant could get
around his own act of last fall in issuing
the S26, 000, 900 reserve. In fact, he said,
he didn't understand it. Grant had gone
back on himself" ''Well, said Butler,
IF the President will deny his own acts
let him do it," Gen. Butler could not con-
zeal his chagrin and discomforture at this
backsliding of Grant, as he seemed to
think it.

not be very surprising if the latter should take
matters INTO their own hands and elect some
good Democrat, like E. F. Pillsbury or c. p.

doubt with good reason, to be as spotless in

Both OF them are comparatively young and
vigorous, and they are certainly men of ability.

the alternative of Hamin or an able and up

We have within few days learned that the
victualcrs and inn-hoders of this city We're not
drawn so as to cover all the requirements of
law, as it now stands. Previous TO 1872 such
bonds We're not required to contain provision
that the prohibitory law should not be violated !;
but i'll that year the law was amended as to
make it imperative that the bonds of victnalers
and innholders should provide that they should
not violate the liquor law. BY an oversight
this new requirement was not embodied in the
bonds given last year; ST that these people
have really not violated their bonds. This
omission will take the pith out of that portion
of the ladies petition which asks the city officers
to proceed against these men for violation of
their bonds

What Reconstruction" is Doing.

The bloody instructions of reconstruct
ton are returning to plague their republic
can inventors. The game of violence
which was taught by the administration
in Louisiana is, naturally enough, initiated
elsewhere by all sorts of players. A few
weeks ago there was q pocket revolution
in Texas. just now the row is in Arkan-
sas. That state has two governors. each
contending for possession, and only pre-
vented from open war by the fortunate
lack Of deadly weapons The republican
| party is to be congratulated on their work
Of reconstruction. The model tor it seems
| to have been taken from Mexico CT Cen
trail America
President Grant has telegraphed to each
OF the governors of Arkansas that he de-
sires to take no part in their middle. This
is emlnently wise 1t is federal interior
ence that has introduced anarchy and
chaos in the south, and certainly the princi-
pie that like cures like is not the one to be
applied by way OF remedy, no matter how
desperate the case may seem. On the con
trary, if the administration will but let
the state and local politics of the south
alone, the people of that section will
speedily find means to set their own affairs
to rights This is as true of Louisiana
and South Carolina as of Texas and Ar
kansas. AS regards the first named of
these states we have the testimony of re-
publican senators that without the prop of
federal support the Kellogg usurpation
would not stand ten days. The situation
in South Carolina is precisely the same
1t is well described in Harper's Weekly,
the well informed editor of which SAYS:
The machine is worked by the ring in South
Carolina under the supposed authority of the
republican administration in Washington. The
representatives of that authority in the eyes Of
the mass OF the new voters are the national
officers in this state. Now if those officers
were selected from the most intelligent and up
right cltlzenS-frOm men brave enough to be
honest at all hazards and to scorn all completely
| with rascals, and shrewd enough not to be de-
celved by knavery-they would be at once Slls-
| tanned by all the better part of the community
and the mass of voters would begin to suspect
that the honest national officers, and not the
state rascals, represented the national republic
can party to which they wish to defer There
Is no doubt of the situation in South Carolina
The testimony is conclusive and overwhelming
1t Is time that the country heard and needed.
In every southern state the federal ad-
ministration, by its Office holders, is in
league with the robbers and oppressors Of
the southern people. Break up the league,
as the Weekly suggests, and the plumber
ers would not long prevail against the
united efforts of their present victims No
renewed federal interference, but rather
the total withdrawal of it, is what is need
ed for the redemption of the south.
