BUTLER BOTTLED.

aWeI", said SeWart, you know
that Butler had about 10000 M \ at
Bermuda Hundred while Grant was
lighting Lee in the Wilderness. If
he had been prompt and bold he
might have gone into Richmond like
a book. But he got bottled up as
Grant said, and that was the end Of
him. Then Grant took the most Of
his men, leaving with him about A.
600 or 5000 men under Generals
Terry and Hawley. 1t tcut Butler up
terribly-knocked his military dig
nifty into q cooked hat. So Butler
got his back up, and determined to
do something on bis own hook. he
had his engineers cut a new road
through the woods which would
bring him out in the open country
between Petersburg and Richmond.
He ordered HaWley's brigade to
march over this road during the
night, expecting that he could reach
the open country by daylight and
then assault and'capture Petersburg,
He sent Kautz with a regiment of
cavalry around the other side Of
Petersburg, to make an assault on
the works south of that city, st the
same time that HaWley struck it on
the north. Well, Joe started of with
his brigade on as dark 3 night as
ever you saw. It was the night that
Grant was fighting Lee at Cold Har-
bot. I remember that we could hear
the guns of that battle. But Joe
found that Buffers road was wonder
fully and fearfully made. It was
hakeed out of a thick forest. His
engineers had left stumps two and
three feet high. It was almost in
possible for Joe to get his batteries
over them. He worked like a beaver,
but at daylight he was not more than
half way to the open ground. Butler
heard of it, and sent a message to
Joe, wanted to know why in hell he
wasn't in the open country. D
youp said Butler, don't you know
| that / have removed Major Generals
for less than thisf' Joe sent back
word that he was doing the best he
could and if it was no satisfactory to
Butler he could remove and be hang
ed to him. 1t was well along toward
noon when Joe struck the open
country. There was q line Of works
extending toward Petersburg for
miles.

CONNECTICUT.

The Connecticut Election takes place one
week from next Monday. In matters of State
politics there is little to choose between the
two principal parties. The Prohibiionists, who
desire the repeal of the present license law
and the enactment of prohibitory liquor
law, with State Constabulary provision added
to make it effective, have ticket in the field,
and hope to poll for it anywhere from two to
four thousand votes. The prevailing discOn-
tent with the other two parties will be likely
to help the third ticket, bpt there is no hope
or expectation of the diversion etfecting more
than the defeat of choice of State officers by
the people, which will throw the election into
the Legislature. The Democrats and Liberals,
who carried the State last year with the ex-
ception of the Senate which had an Admins
tratlon majority of one, are hopeful of elect
ing the old ticket by the popular vote. The
Administration Republicans express no conf
dence Of electing their ticket by the people.
but hope to carry the Legislature, and thereby
secure the State officers and the United States
Senator to succeed Senator Buckingham.
The administration of State affairs during
the past year by the Opposition has been eco
nomical and prudent. Governor IngersOll has
administered the Executive Office with quiet
dignity that has not attached to the Office in
previous years. and has so commended himself
IN modest manly way to popular favor
while his associates in Office have discharged
their duties with such diligence and faithfulness
as have disarmed opposition. The only argu-
ment advanced by the Administration press
upon any local issue is that the success of the
Opposition would endanger the present registry
law. II is but fair to say that while only one
weekly Democratic paper urges the repeal of
the law the others are either silent on the
subject OF opposed TO change. 1t is not prob
able that the law will be touched in any
event 1t is so satisfa story it stands that
the Democrats, who opposed its passage, would
hardly take the chances of offending their
Liberal allies by repeating it, it being very
manifest that they would lose instead of gain
ing by It.

a series of unusual ordinances to facilitate
operations by aiding recruitment and establish

went off to the scene OF action with adj
yantageOus eclat, taking care to mako his
nephew, Gen. Dominique, his second in COM
mand that no one ont of the family might
participate i'm the results of the anticipated
victory.
Since the President took charge of the army
in the field there has been even less apparent
activity THAI under the unfortunate Morones.
There is indeed some mention of an abOrtiye
expedition by way of the river NeryiOn, after
which the National troops returned to their
encampment at Santona. But meanwhile the
Carlists continue their siege OF Bilbao with
updisturbed pertnacity. IL would be fatal To
Serrano's political and military position tn
allow them to effect the capture OF TINS
important city, which has always been
considered pivotal point in former Carllst
wars, and which witnessed the death OF Iu-
maacarregui in 1885. 1t is hardly probable
that the enthusiastic support with which
Serrano set ont upon this campaign would re-
main with him after "a signal defeat. while il
is sure that great success would rally the
wavering sympathies of thousands to che
Bourbon standard. For this reason the pro-
ceedings of these two small armies are
watched with intense interest in every Court
of Europe, and in none more anxi0usy than
in the palace of the Kaiser at Berlin. and the
Vatican, which embraces the kingdom of the
p0ue.

The Steinway Hall meeting last night was
a significant and impressive protest against
bad laws badly administered. The speakers
were men familiar with these laws and the
manner of their execution and operation. The
audience, which was full, intelligent and en-
thusiastc, was made up of men Immediately
interested in the just and equitable regulation
of commerce by law. Mr. ChOate's forcible
presentation of the theory and practice of the
statutes most complained of was admirably pre-
scented by Mr.. Jackson S. Schultz's plea for the
merchants. The other speeches were dispassion-
ate but Coz vincng expostiOns of the condition
and duty of commercial men, and the oppressive
character of the laws which have been passed
in the interest of bad men. 1t will not be
easy to find answer to these arguments the
logic of the facts so impregnably arrayed is
all against the shameful code. The spirit of
the meeting was one of indignant protest
against oppression in the name of law 1t
was the voice of the commerce of the country
crying out against legal robbery. Will Con-

SO We are to have an investigation into the
causes which fastened two suspicious quick
transit bills through the Assembly Committee.
1t is we'll Mr.. Eastman asked that his bill
DO taken from the Committee, but there
seems to have been compromise by which
it WAS allowed TO remain, and an investiga-
ton ordered. The Committee of Inquiry have
power to probe the matter fully. There have
been many unpleasant stories about this bus-
ness afoat. Possibly the Committee have
been misrepresented. We hope so but the
defense made by some of the members has not
been reassuring and the honor of the Legls-
iature and the interests of good government
require that the investigation shall be thorough
aud satisfactory.

To the casual On-looker the strike Of the
labOrers at the Erie docks seems prepOsterous.
With the Company which employs them Qike
nearly all other railroads. making no money
whatever, and with tens of thousands of able
bodied men in the city absolutely out of en-
plOyment, these unskilled labOrers refuse to
work at all unless they can be paid az per
day. In the language of a distinguished Con-
necticut Senator (after his election) this is
mere midsummer madness, and the Company
which yields to it would deserve to be bank
rupted. We recognize the apparent justice of
the claim often made by laborers that they
should have wages bearing at least some pro-
portion to the profits of their employers, and
gladly look toward the benefcent scheme
of Cooperation as offering the best solution OF
the alarming labor problem. But to insist on
far higher wages than employers can possibly
afford at time when these employers are
losing money,'an when thousands of laboring
men are suffering for lack of any employment
whatever is both foolish and criminal.

Beyond an exhaustive discussion of funda-
mental principles, the Congregational Council
made little progress yesterday. The addresses
of the Revs. DR.. StOrrs and Burlington occupy
a large space in the full reports which we
print on our second, fifth. and twelfth pages
The action of the Plymouth Church, which
has been looked for with great anxiety, will
be regarded with some disappointment. The
declaration, printed on our third page, which
was adopted by the Plymouth Church yester-
day, contains compact statement of the po-
stion of that organization upon the points at
issue. So far as the Council is concerned,
Plymouth Church declares that it is er parie
in character, and convened without the use OF
adequate means to secure a mutual council
OF course this declaration makes it now i'm
possible for the Plymouth Church to accept
any invitation to appear in the Council by
letter OF otherwise. The Council, accordingly,
will proceed to consider the questions raised
by the churches which have summoned it.

on its final passage will DO taken to-day when
it is expected that majority nearly as large
as that which opposed tabling the bill Will DO

the legislation of the period lis the statement
that the railroad opposition to this measure
has postponed active operations against II
until it reaches the Senate, that body being
considered easier to manage" If it were not
for the fact that everybody knows how the

fer to believe that the languor of the opposl-
tion in the House was due to belief in the
unconstitutionality of the McCrary proposition.

All these are things worth knowing. The
