A recent Washington telegram
says: A party Of citizens of tho
District called on B. t. Butlor last
evening, to secure his influence with
the administration in the appoint
mcnt of n commissioner for tho
District. To their request Butler,
with much bitterness, said: 81
have no favors to ask of Mr. Hayes,
and consequently you have como to
the wrong man- 1t is true T am
property holder, tax"payor, and, at
times q resident horc, and an inter
ested in tho welfare of tho District
of Columbia, but my right to speak
in your behalf as citizen is swul-
lowed up in my being member of
Congress. Besides, gentlemen"
laughingly, "you havo seon in tho
papers that am fighting the adj
ministration, or that L am opposed
to Mr.. Hayes, or something of that
That kind, and tho papers never lie.
The President knows what no is
about, and is bringing about state
of affairs that was never dreamed of
before. Ho told us in his inaugural
address the great things he intended
to do, and you know, gentlemen,
thatho is doing thom. Every day he is
pacifying the people. If, as you
complain, the gentlcmon who have
visited tho White House in behalf of
your candidate havo not been able to
SECURE an audience with tho Prcsi.
dent, why not refer his claims to w.
w. Corcoran, or to General Gordon,
or to mon of that way of thinking ??
Thoy can got an audience. 1 hopo
Mr.. Hayes policy will succeed. He
is n fair seeing, able statesman, u
man of groat breadth of intellect and
wonderful scope of power. Tho
Republican party went into the State
of Ohio, and took therefrom it's
greatest statesman, and elevated him
to tho Presidency. He is rcvolu,
tionizing things iii his wonderfully
quiet way, and Mr.. CorcorMn and
General Gordon are helping him.
The people will bo crowding each
other at tho pools at tho next Prcsi-
dental election, in order to got
chance to vote the Republican ticket.
SO great will DO tho rush that I fear
many of thom will be trnmpled to
death. No more money will be used
in conducting campaigns. It will all
be done withoutit In my last canvass

uniforms. | am glad to know that
hereafter it is to cost nothing. It
is II new way of doing things. It's
wonderful We see it in the papers
that the Rcpuhlican party is dis
banded, that the Democratic party
is dead, and that the great Wing
party is to be revived. Now, gentle.
mon, if you want your friends to
succeed, why not visit somo graves
yard, and get tho names of few old
respectable Wings from tho grave
stones, and put them on your
friends application. That would
perhaps have great weight with the
administration. I would bo willing
to servo you gcntlomen of tho Dis
trict, but am afraid my advocacy of
your friend would do more harm
than good. Besides, Mr.. Hayes
says when he wants us members of
Congress he will call for us, and as
he has not called me I presume ho
doesn't want me-"
Some time since, Butler wrote a
sarcastic letter to Pitliin, marshal of
Louisiana, advising him to offer
