WITH THE ATToRNEY-GENERALSHIP-H INrLU
ENCR IN TIE REMOVAL OF ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL HILL.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUyE.j
WASHINGTON, April 25.-It was supposed By some
people, who were not aware of the know ledge pos
sessed by Gen. Butler on inside matters in Washing
ton that the Essex statesman's power now that he
has retired to private life, was at an end. If the
ports now current here of his strength for the Attor
ney-Generaship. the facility with which he PUSHES
claims through the departments and the hesitation
shown OH all sides to oppose him in any scheme, are
half true, he is powerful with the President as
ever, and divides the hOnors with Shepherd and
Babcock.
1t will be remembered that Clement Hugh Hill
was recently crowded out of the Office of the Assist
ant Attorney Gcneralship, position he resigned to
take effect May 10. II is now claimed by Gen. But
lers friends that Mr. Hill the last Of the Federal
Ofhce-holders IN this city from ew-England who
were inimical TO Gen. Buffers ambitions, the init
nation being plain that the Essex ex-rcpresentatve
had procured Mr.. Hills retirement. The friends of the
safe burglars, whom Mr.. Hi as the Governments
attorney, in connection with Mr. Riddle prosecuted
with such vgor of the opinion that Mr. Hill was
got out of Office, in consequence Of his action, by
Shepherd Babcock and other friends Of Harrington.
1t Is known that the AttOney-General was opposed
