BUTLER FOR AUsTRIA-It is not pre-
cisely polite, perhaps, when the Emperor
OF Austria has just paid us he compliment
OF nominating rs his Minister to this cOin-
try the ableSt envoy he has ever sent us. a
man Of character and of CapaCitv that we
should respond by packing off to Vienna
as our representative the most notorious
political prUtiigate we possess. But we
trust it may be true that President Grant
intends to send Mr. Benjamin I. Butler to
Austria, and that Mr.. Butler intends to
allow himself to be sent 1t will be an IN
mingled good, in the first place, to relieve
Congress of the presence of Il member who
contributes to the general corruption of
his party degree of tact and skill in or
ganizing that corruption of which no other
Radical leader can boast. The chances of
successfully unearthing any particular Con-
gressional rascality and bringing its spon-
sOrs and its actors to punishment will be
notably increased by the absence of Mr..
Butler.
But beyond this, it is eminently proper
that an Administration like that which at
present ailliCtS the United States should be
represented by its really representative
men abroad as well as at home. OF course
IL VIII not be agreeable to Intelligent and
hIgh-ninded Americans travelip~ in Ans
trja to know that their country Is -.uis-
figured and presented" at the Austrian
Court by such person as Mr.. BENJAMIN
+. Butler. Neither was it agreeable TO
Americans of that stamp to find their coun-
try represented in Spain by Mr.. Sfckles.
But the Administration which selects such
ministers is itself 4 scandal and a disgrace
TO The Unithd States. The President in
this country, like the sovereign in Great
Britain, is the ''fuuutain Of honor" That
fountain being fundamentally turbid and
muddy, those who desire to see its orna-
mental spray glance clean and pure in the
eyes of manhood must make I'D their
nlnds TO 60 to the bottom of things. 1t is
not desirable, in the permanent interest of
the country, that Il President vino sur
rounds himself with advisers aud friends
Ike Morton and Logan and SAWYER and
Richardson and Delano should find men of
high rrpute and unquestioned character
willing to accept his commissions abroad.
lie momentary shame and disrepute into
which we may be brought abroad by such
nominations as best belit the actual atmos-
phore of the White House may be lightly

Cohnuce to awakening the slow moral sense
OF tHe American people to the periIs and

This lease, it will be seen, extends from
1872 until 1891, and has now seventeen
years to run. The property described. rs

the h7y-scales stood just at the junction OF
MIdtie and Congress, and the jail partly
on the ground now occupied by that por-
ton Of Elm street in front of the United
states Hotel. This property is of course
extremely valuable, the very heart of the
city, and embraces about a third of an acre.
HE city received its title from a number
ol holders under the lease, one of whom
made proviso in his deed ''that the old
city Hall should always be used either as
city hall or market house." and a Droyi-
SION stall Is to this day kept in one corner
nI the basement to protect this title
Whether if ''thrc indifferent men, should
value the property too highly claimant
would have any redress is a question but
the Old City Hall, as a building, is Of no
enormous value. We have already given
the lease, under which the heirs Of Samuel
SHILLING may soon claim Market SQUARE
but 1t is probable that their title will be
confronted by an older and broader claim

Placing the value of this land at eight
dollars per acre, the price at which the
Burlington and Missouri River r. r. holds
its lands adjoining this farm, it will be
seen that the profit of this single crop of
wheat has overpaid the cost of the land on
which it was raised by three hundred dol
lars, and falls short of paying for the
whole quarter section, by less than one
