Why Batter vAs Removed
NV Yo..K. Nav S.-The Tribune $
Washington special says Buffers re-
moval Is based upon letter written
by one Of the most prominent cier-
gvmon Of the Methodist denomina-
ton in New York to an officer
in tie Postonice Department. Tins
clergyman says that while travelling
to'Chicago few days ago he met a
man who said his name was Butler,
and who claimed to have received an
appointment from the POstotlice De-
partment as special agent to organize
mail routes in the Black Hills. But
Ter exhibited his commission repeat
edly and boosted that he was receiv-
ing a good salary and six dollars a
day for expenses. The clergyman
said he had bottle Of brandy, from
which he drank frequently and CO.
piously, and that he pressed others
in the car to drink even after they
had informed him that they never
INDUCED in spirituous liquors. Be-
fore retiring the first night, Butler
was thoroughly drunk, and his con-
versation was of such u profane and
vulgar character that he made him.
sslf disagreeable to every one in the
car. The clergyman remarked III
his letter that he did not know
whether this fellow was an impostor
or not, but if he actually did hold a
commission from the Postotfice De-
partment he certainly would not be
in condition to transact any bust
ness for the government so long as
his brandy held out and he could get
more. The letter closed with the
suggestion thot so long as there are
enough good men with whom to fill
government Offices, such fellows as
this ought not to be employed. On
receipt of this letter the Postmaster
General Immediately directed the
commission to be revoked, and in
his letter to Butler informing him
of this fact, he gives the reasons as
stated above, and adds that no person
who conducts himself in the manner
described can hold q commission
signed by tho Postmaster General.
