Thc sarcastic and Aggressive Butler.

WASHINGTON, June 5. - Gen. Butler was
called upon to-day by delegation of citizens
Of the District in regard TO the commission.
Hafpferred them to Mr.. Corcoran
Extract from the report of an interview, as
published In this Baltimore Sun.
We are told that the Republican party is
to be disbanded, and the Democratic party is
To be- disbanded, and the great Whig party is
toconfe into life. You had better go to some
graveyard and take off the tombstones the
names of some old line Wings, and put them
on your applications
The General here interrupted himself, and
said he8had asked one favor of the President;
when Tie MAS in command Of the Department
of the Cuff during the war, the noble, eminent
and patriotic surgeon-in-chief of the depart
ment sacrificed his life in his labors for his
country.
His son, now promising lad OF sixteen
years, desired to enter the Naval Academy.
The boy did not live in his Gen. Butler's) dis
trict, or he would have had him appointed
himself. He therefore went to the President,
who at that time had three Naval Academy
appointments in his gift; related to him all
the circumstances, and asked him to bestow
one of the appointments on this poor boy.
When the President made the appointments
the surgeon sons name was not among them,
but all OF them were sons of men of the style
of Mr. Corcoran.

WAR NOTES.
The Possible Russian Occupation of Com
stantinOpIe.
Especial to the Democrat. /


Especial to the Democrat.]
LONDON. June 5.-The Times correspon-
dent ut Kars telegraphs that he has reason
to believe the assurances, which it now seems
certain that Count Schouvaloff brings,
relative to the eventual temporary occupa-
tion of Constantinople, are in answer to ques-
ton put by England as to Russias intentions
relative to Constantinople.
If Russia believed herself obliged to reply
to such a question she would be unable, at
least officially, to do so, otherwise than to
say that a nation which knows that it's capi
tai runs no risk of occupation would feel little
disposed to consent to conqueror's terms
The most, therefore, that Russia can do
will be to give England assurances and secret
guarantees, in case an eventual temporary
occupation of Constantinople should seem
seriously dangerous to British interests.
This will certainly not be the only very deli{
cate point of Russia's reply; she will declare
also that she will not touch Egypt or the
Suez Canal, but will not say what she will do
Although the Russian reply may lead to
many disputes, it is the expectation of it
which has produced the present talk through
out Europe.
