BEN BUTLER is evidently going for
the scalp of Mr.. Hayes. His antag-
onism to the de facto President is
becoming more pronounced every
day. He vas called upon by some Of
the citizens of Washington, a few
days ago, to bespeak his influence in
behalf of a gentleman whom they
wishedto have appointed as one of the
Commissioners of the District. In
reply to them he said:
Gentlemen, you have come to the
wrong man. l have no influence Mt
the White House, and no disposition
to ask a favor of the President. If
you want your man appointed go ask
Nj. Corcoran, Gen. Gordon and 9th
ers of their patriotic antecedents.
The President sent for Mr.. Corcoran
and requested him to name the man
he wanted for the Commissionership
and he modestly mentioned Mr.. Ar
chibald Campbell. The great states,

great statesman) has instituted a

ask Mr. Corcoran to ask the Presi-
dent, as it is understood that both
the Democratic and the Republican
parties are deceased, and the old
Wing party is born again, go out to
