One of Gen. Buffers Hits.
From Hdrpers for May.)


One of the latest as vel, as one of the
neatest hits made by Gen. Butler, just
before the close of the last session of
Congress, occurred during the famous
deadlock fight on the Civil Rights bill.
The question Of adjournment was under
consideration, and Gen. Butler had step.
ped over to Mr.. RandalPs desk for a pri-
yate. conversation. Butler favored q
Sunday session; Randall opposed it.
Bad rs | am, have some respect fo,
Gods day." said the Democrat, "and
don't think it proper to hold session Of
Congress on that day"
"Oh, pshawr' responded Butler, don,
the Bible say it is lawful to pull youl
OK or ass out of pit on the Sabbath
dayt You have seventy asses on you,
side OF this House that / want to gel
out OF this ditch tomorrow, and | thinl
am engaged i'll a holy work"
Don't do it, Butler" pleaded Sam, "..
nave some respect for you that dom
wan to lose. l expect some day t.
meet you in q better world
You'll be there as you are here" re
torted Butler, as quick as thought,
member of the Lower House."

There have been some curious com
plications in the politics of South Car
olina lately, which arc making an open
breach between the two wings OF the
Republican party represented by Cham
berlain on one side, and those who de-
cline his leadership on the othar, Upon
this quarrel theConservatives look with
equanimity, favoring the Chamberlain
party, however, at present, in conse-
quence of their having taken steps to
stop public robbery in certain dircc.
tions, though it must not be inferred
from this that the old citizens have any
great faith in the motives of these newly
ledged Reformersof the carpet bagper
suasion. One Of the most curious in
cidentsin the lively squad lie nowgoing
on between the carpet baggers and their
duskyallies, is the arrest Of n. 6. Parker

1lAOtLer Reniteflt.

And now Judge Kelley is at the mour-
ner's bench. lamenting in the newspa-
pers if not in 'sackcloth and ashes" the
injury he has dsne the South and the
Southern people. Thus one after an
other, men Of the Radical party, who
were led by their passions and preju-
dices into committing. as statesmen. So
called, the most dreadful offenses that
can be inflicted upon people. have been
caused to change their views by Witness
ing with personal presence the fact that
the people Of the much abused South
are not such inhuman monsters as the
political scoundrels (who have been hold
ing Office through their falsehoods, their
frauds and their wicked deeds,) repre-
sented them.
Judge Kelley has just returned from
the South, where he has been spending
the winter, and his remarks with refer
snce to the people upon whose actions
he confesses he has been watching as q
spy, will well repay perusal. They
will be found in another column
Judge Kelley now bitterly regrets his
vote in favor Of the Force bill. How
long it will be before he as openry re
grets many more of the political acts o.
his life, cannot yet be stated. But WI
would not be at all surprised il tn,
Judge had not already concluded In hi
own mind that negro suffrage was on,
Of the chief causes Of the suffering il
the South. Northern carpet-baggers il
the South have already been repudiatet
by the Northern press; let them nov
repudiate negro suffrage. without whicl
the present state of things could no
have been brought about in any of tn
Southern States, nor could Boss Sher
herd ard his Ring have run the Distrlc
O. Columbia into such disgraceful cor
dtion.

An In,po,zant Inue..tion.

A West Virginia inventor has been
exhibiting in Cincinnati a model OF
contrivance for improving navigable
streams by means Of n combination OF
locks, chutes and dams, II represents,
in miniature. Il lock one hundred feet
wide, and six hundred feet in the clear,
with a floating capacity of six thousand
tons, which is equal to tho tonnage OF
some of the largest ocean steamers.
This lock may be converted into n
chute in less than minute, thus avoid
ing any stoppage for boats descending
the river. The gates of the lock are
operated by the 'draw' of the water
which hoists and lowers Il elm by its
own action, requiring but iwO men to
manage the lock. Boats : ming up
stream without locking will require a
rise of water OF about five feet below
low water mark, and in case locking
is necessary it can be accomplished in
| less than five minutes. The inventor
SAYS that the largest boats and town
can be got through in that itmc. The
adjustable dam, which is operated on
the same principle as the lock gates,
NAV be put in four hundred feet across
the river, and be made to rise and fell
bv the action of the river. 1t may be
worked by the two men handling the
lock, and the inventor says that with
this dam he can break up ice in river
as fast as 1t forms. and keep navigation
| open all winter. He is confident, IN
fact, thlt, with his appliances placed Al
distances oftwenty miles apart, he could
insure ten feet of water in the Ohio the
| year round.
