BUTLER'S DENOMINATIONS.

BY the decisive vote of one hundred against
sixteen the Republicans Of the With Congress
sional District of Massachusetts, have Ienom-
mated Benjamin f. Butler for Congress. Why7
In what particular is Mr.. Butler Republican
Upon what party question does he act with
the Republicans and against their OppO-
nentsf Can any of his supporters name
onei If the Republican party is sincere
in its advocacy of an honest currency and its
opposition to imitation, as it processes to be, in
Massachusetts at least, Mr.. Butler has no claim
upon its suffrages, no right to its nomination.
II the party means all it says when it denounces
in its resolutions Credit Mobilier specula-
tions and Back Pay swindles, Mr.. Butler can
not be of the party, for he defended the
one and in the most unblushing man
ner advocated the other. If the
party has q single grain of honesty
in its professions upon the subject of Civil
Service Reform, it cannot tolerate Mr.. Butler,
who fouts the whole business as delusion
and q humbug. Ii the party is honest in its
broadsides of promises of retrenchment and
economy, this man cannot be of it, for he is
always on the side Of prohigate expenditure !;
if indeed it means anything at all by
its talk about the publication of pol-

A POETS WELCOME HOME.

Tho demonstration, last week, in the HOcksessin
Valley IN honor of Mr.. Bayard Taylors return ap-
pears from the account printed on our third page to
have been as hearty and generous as 1T was do
served Mr. Taylor's old friends and neighbOrs
by hundreds came from far and near. The pavilion
was splendid with flowers and Autumn leaves pas
sages from his poems were framed in ivy, and the
German and American flags were intertwined. In a
brief private note received in NewYOrk by one OF
his literary friends, Mr.. Taylor Says "The speeches,
songs, and poems quite overwhelmed me. 1t seemed
that all once thought best and supposed to be for
gotten was revived-that all the recognition craved
in vain was poured upon me at once For three
hours had to keep myself, by force of will from
crying like baby"
Mr.. TAYLOR seems to have been thoroughly taken
by surprise by the magnitude of the demonstration.
Unsatisied with his brief speech he has sought to
make more careful response, which we have the
pleasure of printing herewith:

When hope beholds relinqulshed visions won,
The heavens broken and blue more splendid
Holds In its bosom an enchanted sun.
Then words unguessed In faiths own sbyness guarded
To ears unused their welcome music bear;
Then hands help on that doubtingly retarded
And love is liberal as the Summer air.
The thorny chaplet OF slow probation
Becomes the laurel fate so long denied;
The form achieved smiles on the aspiration,
And dream is deed, and Art Is justified
All, nevermore the dull ne giect that smothers
The bards dependent being, shall return;
Forgotten lines are on the lips OF Others
Extipguished thoughts In other spirits burn
Still boarded HIVES what seemed 50 spent and wasted,
And echoes come from dark or empty years;
Here brims the golden cup no more untastsd,
But fame is dim through mists OF grateful tears.

duiry Must continue to register Z" lie sees
it all. Before the rapt vision OF Louis T..
Leloire the vail of the future is rent.
The unbidden prophecy he docs not utter,
but he plainly contains his fearful FORE
bodings as he breaks forth in the su-
preme agony of friend of freedom who wit
nesses the intimidation of 800 men by SO3,
"Must l continue to registerp What may
have been the answer of the upright Magis-
trate to whom the question was addressed we
do not know. But in the light of Louisiana
precedcnts and the decisions of that great ex-
FOUNDER Of civil, military, and constitutional
law who is now in command of the army and
navy of the United States, Attorney General
Williams, the duty of Mr. Louis c. Leloire
was plain. Neither the State of Louisiana, by
which we mean the Hon. VIM. Pitt Kellogg,
nor the Government OF the United States, by
which We mean General Grant, can afford to
have a majority of Democrats registered in
st. Martins Parish. That settles the question
as to the constitutionality of it, and as to MIR.
Louis C. Lelore's duty. We presume that he
has discerned it by this time, and either
destroyed the lists or amended them so as to
conform to the Constitution.
1t Is very depressing circumstance III coh-
nection herewith that Mr.. Martin Voorhees,,
who 80 far as we can learn is neither Sheriff,
Supervisor Of Registration, nor even poly
syllable, and must consequently take it kindly
if we merely set him down as black-hearted
traitor, Ku-Klux, and White Lacquer, tele-
graphs that he lives six miles above st. Mar
tinsville, where the ono hundred and hfty
White League cavalry were under arms that
he was at Breaux Bridge all day on the day
in question, and that there was no Intlmida-
ton, and no cavalry there or anywhere In the
Parish. Concerning which we have only to
say that Mr.. Martin Voorhees, seems an un-
pleasant person, bent on creating disturb
ance by raising question of veracity. 1t is
barely possible that the Hon. VIM. Pitt
Kellogg may be able to carry the State for
the Administration without the aid of more
troops but would it not be well enough for
the Attorney General to send regiment or
two to st. Martins Parish to capture Mr..
Martin Voorhees, 1t might as well be under

ton announces that Intimidation reigns SUI

the Constitution to dispute it.

upon the amount of stamps, &C., SOLO, OF
making their purchases with stamps, stamped
envelopes, &C., 80 that the Postmaster OF
| village who combined the post-office with
country store could make his purchases
| of goods in stamps and clean up MS
two profits, one of which came out oi
the Government directly, the stamps being
sold in the largo towns where the Postmaster
ia salaried and their legitimate sale would cost
the Government no commission. This practice
was forbidden at once The circular issued to
Postmasters rebuking the looseness with which
they were in the habit of certifying straw bids
was another step in the correction OF an evil
which grows out of the readiness of politicians
to "stand by" each other and sign anything
that does not cost them cent, and only de-
frauds or fools the Government. The last order
of the Postmaster General, aimed at the claim
agents and middlemen, is still more i'm
portant advance in reforming the methods OF
the Department; and the crisp, snappy way
in which he states that he cannot and will
not tolerate claim agents indicates that he
means business.
All these things are very encouraging. lncy
show that we have here an officer who enters
upon his duties with determination to dis
charge them, and to conduct his Department
upon business principles and with plain COM
mon sense. We have heard heretofore SO
much talk and 80 little of anything to show
for it, that the word reform was beginning to
be understood to mean nothing more than the
emptiness of platform promise but Gov
Jewell seems disposed to put meaning into it.
At least the persons whom he has disturbed
in their little arrangements think so, and are
in something of futter over it, He has only
to keep right on, however, not regarding
either the claim agents or the carpet-bag-
gers who "demand the offices, and the
whole country will back him up in
it. 1t is painful, of course, to be
told, as VIC are by the Washington
newspapers, that great many distinguished
attorneys, ex-Assistant POstmaster-Gencrals,
clerks, and others will be thrown out OF en-
| ployment by the enforcement OF the rule, and
that they are contemplating some united
action on the subject; and yet it does seem as
though the POst-Oifice Department ought to
| be able to command the services OF Post
masters who can settle their own accounts,
and that it ought likewise to be able to deal
| directly with its own contractors. There is an
impression abroad that the business of claim
agents and lobbyists is a trifle overdone in
Washington, and that the morals of such
statesmen as Carpenter and Butler have been
unfavorably affected by it, 1t is to be hoped
that Gov. Jewell will go on as he has begun.
Meantime the claim agents and others who are
astonishcd can repeat the conundrum indulged
| in by the late Syracuse Convention when a
wayfaring man took the chair and called it to
| order, Who is this cuss anyhow Z"
