Tags, and, abandoning all hope, gave
himself up to despair. A friend sug-
gested, as last resort, that he engage
General Butler as counsel. Anxious as
he was to secure his money, his soul re-
belled, against the idea OF getting 1t
through Butler. "Butlerl" said he, al
most weeping, "Ben. ButIerl would as
soon engage the devil" "Never mind,"
said his friend; "what you want is the
money for your cotton, and IL Butler can
get 1t for you, what is the odds about his
politicsr After considerable argument,
the old rebel concluded to apply to But
ler. He finaliy engaged hlm to take
charge OF the case for a fee of $25, 900.
The point was to have the appeal to the
Supreme Court Withdrawn or dismissed.
l terg6t, now, whether the case ever
reached the Supreme art, or whether
Butler arranged the matter with the At
torney General.
At all events, the appeal from the
Court Of Claims was withdrawn. But
the old man was not yet out of his
troubles, nor was Buffers work entirely
completed. A lawyer here named Bart
ley, brolher-in-law of Gen. Sherman,
set up q claim for BLOC, 900 for legal serv-
ices, and procured an injunction from
one of the District Courts to prevent
the Secretary Of the Treasury from pay
ing the old rebels warrant. On the
morning of the day upon which the argu-
ment on the inju action was to be heard,
Gen. Butler, accompanied by his client,
visited the Treasury Department, pro-
cured the warrant for the seven
hundred and odd thousand dol
lars, passed it through It's various
stages, a process usually occupy
ing several hours, had it signed by the
Secretary and cashed. Taking out his
own twenty ve-thousand-dollar fee and
stutfing it into his vest pocket, and CIV
ing the balance to his client, with the ad-
vice that he should take the first tram
for Baltimore, and thereby avoid the
numerous Washington sharks always
laying in wait Tor such prey, Butler pro-
ceeded to the court to argue the iDjunc-
tion. He had scarcely stated the case
when the Judge, recognizing the fact
tnat no court can enjoin the Secretary Of
the Treasury from performing his exec
utiye duty, dissolved the injunction, and
Butler proceeded to meet another client
with another big fee.
