General Butler and the Poor Widow.

FROM the DOslOn IllOtsJ
A short time ago poor Irishwoman, whose
husband had been killed in the war, called on
Gen. B. F. Butler, in Boston, to ask for his in
1uence in getting employment for her son as
laborer in the navy yard. She told her pitt
full story-of cold nights and days in their
miserable lodging, of the weary walks of her
son, seeking a days labor to stop the slow
starvation-and every word she said was
proved by the wretched shawl, the white face
and wasted figure. He heard the story as If
he was used to it, and was taking out his wal
let to give her dollar and let her go, when
he asked in his gruf way; "Where's your hus-
band, ma'am?"
"He was killed in the war, sir-in New Or
leans-under you," said the widow, and she
broke down, sobbing as If her heart would
burst, and covering her face with her apron.
Old Ben put his wallet in his pocket, and
stood up with a strange glitter in his eye for
a moment, looking at the woman's misery and
grief. Then he told her to be quiet-asked
her husbands name and regiment-and called
one of his clerks. After looking through a
large book, and making notes, he told the
poor woman to call on him in a fortnight,
when he returned from Washington; and he
also promised he would give her the letter for
her son. With grateful heart the widow went
away.
Three days afterward Gen. Butler was in
Washington, and he made it his business to
see about the widows case at the War De-
partment. He found that pension was due
to her of 81 ,175, and the money was trans
ferred to his care for her use after proper for
malities. When the two weeks had expired,
the widow called on him in Boston for the let
ter for her son.
Here it is" said the General; "this will get
him work, and his wages will be enough to
support you and him in comfort. And here"
he added, pulling out an envelope, sis another
letter containing 81, ,175 for yourself, due to
you by the United States. Lodge this in the
bank IN your own name, and if ever you want
TO invest il in any other way come 20 me and
I'll tell you how"
Then he sat down and enjoyed the emotion.
When the first flood of joy and surprise was
over the grateful widow pulled out hundred
dollar note from the money, and handed it to
the General.
"No, no. said Butler; 81 never yet took
dollar from a widow, and Pm too old to begin
by taking it from the widow of a soldier"
National Republican., 1876-08-12

not more than three or four, in this great city,
had the wicked audacity or abject cowardice
to withhold their names and support, and not
the least conspicuous in this small bad lot was
Samuel j. Tilden.
Time ran on; the four years of struggle, suf-
fering and blood eliminated in the perpetua-
tion of great nation, with its laws respected
and its Constitution inviolate. Nor did Samuel
j. Tilden aid in this glorious consummation.
Mr.. Tilden, with an adroitness and subtlety
for which he is remarkable, has made no little
effort to recover from the odium of his disloyal
acts by certain prominence in exposing the
frauds and yillainies of the Tweed ring, but
those familiar with his political history do not
forget that, as chairman of the Democratic
committee, he acquiesced In the use of his
name to the infamous "secret circular" by
which the stupendous frauds on the ballot
were perpetrated In 1868 and the electoral vose
of the State declared in favor of Seymour and
Hoffman. To this charge the report of the
Congressional Committee on Election Frauds
bears witness, (see testimony of 8. ]. Tilden
before said committee.) This success es-
tablshed Tweed's power in the city
and made so much of wick
edness and fraud possible. Tilden was a sup
porter of the party which Tweed controlled,
and no open effort was made by him to purge
the party until the New York Times bold,
searching and continued exposure of the frauds
reused the people to drive out the robbers who
controlled the city government. Mr.. Tiden,
swept in by the popular current and seeing his
opportunity, assumed certain prominence in
exposing the ring, doubtless with view of
succeeding to Tweed's position of leader, and
to-day he is accepted (on such record) by the
Democratic party as its candidate for Presi-
dent. Do the leaders of the party suppose
that history is blotted out and the lessons of
the war forgottenf Or is there such poverty
of loyal, honest men in the Democratic party
that Tilden is about the best they can offer for
DODular suDDOrt?

ExALDERMAN JOHN Q. LARMAN, esd,
who is just at present residing on his farm
in Fairfax county, Va, makes most
favorable report of party prospects in that
county. The Republicans are all alive to
the necessities of the hour, and thus far
their labors have been crowned with graft
flying success, as quite number of persons
who have been acting with the Democratic
party in the past have boldly declared their
intention to vote for Hayes and Wheeler
in November next. With such men at the
front as John O. Larman, whose energy
never seems to tire. it is reasonably safe to
predict that Fairfax county, in common
with majority of the counties of the Old
Dominion, will roll up as large majority
for Gen, Hayes as they did for President
Grant.

GEN. NJ. c. BUTLER. better known since
the Hamburg massacre as the Sitting
Bull OF South Carolina, says that the
people of that State "begin themselves to
think that they are devils incarnate, mis-
chievous agitators and restless firebrands. !"
If the Democrats of South Carolina-lnd
they are what Sitting Bull Butler calls
'tbe people" that opinion of them
selves, we can assure them that it is heartily
Endorsed by every one else. Such men as
Sitting Bull Butler aud the others engaged
with him in the massacre at Hamburg are
also set down as murderers.

none have done better than Judge VIM. r.

hard work. A the Republican member OF
the sub b-comnlttee 20 which was referred

was possible TO prevent the preparation of
the great fraud by which Goode Was con-
tinued in his seat and his speech on that
occasion attracted much notice and has been
extensively read since. 1t is hoped that
his constituents will honor him with a re-
election, as the services of such men as he
are too valuable to be lost to the country,
and that value is certain to augment with
enlarged experience.
