GEN. BUTLERS VIEW OF HIS DE
FEAT

rEAIs
few of those strongly attached personal and
political friends who have adhered to Gen. But
Ier's political fortunes for many years and who
are still unyielding in their fidelity entertained
him at a dinner in Boston on Tuesday evening
Responding to q sentiment in his honor he gave
his own notions regarding the cause Of his recent
defeat as follows:
'sThey say it was the press which defeated me;
but in looking into the district in the heart Of tho
Commonwealth, where an idol of the press was
candidate, found that he lost more votes than
did. So conclude it was not the press. 1t was
said that Simmonslsm did it; but found that in
of the Boston districts friend Of the collec-
tor was elected where the parties were evenly
divided, and concluded that It could not be
that. Some said It was because did not belong
to the Church; but looked into another district
and saw that a man who is prominent in the
Church, and who gives largely to support IL, was
defeated, and our loss was heavy, and concluded
il could not be because was not in the Church.
Then they said it was the salary grab that did
It; looked in another district and found that
the man who took the back pay in 1855, 1885 and
also in 1872, and who made the best speech that
was made for It in the House In 1872, was elected
by large majority. ! made up my mind It was
not that. Then somebody said, sob, you voted
for JEFF. Days ffty-seVen times In the
SasaebGsetts hsRe No. foTgOtten tsS
locked into Mr.. Dawes district, and found there,
elected by q heavy majority, man who voted
then that the next Congress would contain a man
who had voted for JEFF. Davis hfty-seven times as
well as this one, and concluded that 1t was not
that. One Of the real reasons was this: 1 an an
independent man, and three years ago, in q can
Yass through the State, said that we needed
change at the state House; that new element
was needed to overhaul the books and correct the
abuses which naturally grew Of a long continu-
Rnce in power. 1 said then that the people needed
a change, and.that If 1t was not made inside our
Republican organization 1t would come from the
outside. Time has shown that there was a truth
in the remark, as the change from 1900 major
ity to 1000 against, in two years time, shows that
have made IL tFlA UithOuf caring
much who they walked over. I am certainly re-
lieved Of two years Of hard service, as fighting
with minority in Congress during the political
struggle of the next two years will be tough
work. Whatever divisions there may have been
as to the wis N Of my leadership in House
with a strong majority, there would prooaoIy pc
minority. You hear much Of investigation, gen.
tlemen, and many committees are promised when
tho new Congress meets, but you need have no
fear, gentlemen, when these committees iIvestl-
gate the guest Of the evening""

THE TICKSB URG MASSACRE.

1t is a curious and instructive fact that there
has been since the close Of the civil war sIngu-
lar reaction in the North, which induces large
class Of fair-minded, humane Northern men to
extenuate and apologize for such outrages as the
Vicksburg massacre. All through the North we
md leading journals like the New York Times
and Tribune, which were at one time powerful
champions Of humanitarian ideas, now taking
the back track. They not only fail In their duty
to the public in advocating the cause Of human
rights, but they conceal or distOrt the facts. The
whole merits Of the Nieksburg case have been
thBmefully misrepresented. Sheriff Crosby was
compelled 10 resign bis Office because be was a
black man; be was "a niger" and was, there
fore, invited TO resign his office 'or take the c)n-
sequences" OF course, he knew we'll enough

lean, thinks that strongly Democratic as
I" Kentucky is, she would, doubtless, easily
"vote for Gen. Bristow for the first Office
Gin the nation" and adds that ''Gen.
Grant can probably make his Secretary
"of the Treasury his successor" The So
licitude of such men as Bowles regarding
the affairs of the Republican party is very
amusing; but the idea that Kentucky could
be carried by q Republican is, to say the
least, original.

tirely upon the spiritual influence of the

what that meant. He knew that II would not be
wholesome for him to hang on 10 his once after
such hint as that. He accordingly resigned, in
order to avoid being nssassinated. The plain key
TO the whole business is simply this: The white
people Of VicksburR had made up their minds
that no black men should hold once In hat city.
The pretence that the white citizens feared that
TIE seven hundred negroes were going to capture
VicksbRrg is such as no man can possibly state to
another without grin in recognition Of the sar-
donio humor OF the idea.

FARES AND FREIGHTS.

Senator Irwin, of Siskiyou, from the
Committee On Corporations, after helping te
oueich the Freeman fare and freight bill
comes in with another under the same head
which really should have been entitled can
act TO legalize the present rates of fares and
freghts charged by the railroad companies
of California Though in some cases fares
and freights are slightly reduced from the
present rates, in Others they are raised, and
altogether the average rates under this bill
for the first so miles are about the same as
charged at present. The most pernicious
part of the bill, though, is section making
it misdemeanor for any person to travel on
ticket not purchased from the company by
him or herself To buy ticket and trans
fer it to another party, or to receive ticket
purchased by another party is. by this bill,
made misdemeanor. We are not only
surprised, but astonshed, that such meas
ure as the whole of it is should come from
such source And then, to attempt to
force it through under the guise of needed
legislation on this most important of all sub
jects, is intolerable. 1t is now evident that
we will have no legislation this session on
this subject, for the people. The lndepend-
ents have struggled hard and manfully to
comply with the demands of the people in
this matter, bat in vain. Their hands are
tied for want of a majority. Both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, with few exceptions,
have proven recreant to their pledges. The
day is near at hand when these scalawag,
renegade, combination Republicans and
Democrats will be arraigned before the peo-
pie for trial And woe unto them when
that hour shall arrive.
