AN ARTISTIC PICTURE.

The Cleveland Herald limns WELL as will
be seen by reading the following sketch of
the Hero of New Orleans in the last war.
We point all the devotees Of labor and all
the orny-handed sons of toll to careful
study of these artistic tracings:
General BUTLER Is pretty fellow to lead a
political party that rails at capitalists and
boud holders. He is millionaire, and has
made money getting work together with his
political ambition ever since he entered public
iifo. His office In Washington has been the
scene of many queer transactions, in which
speculation aud politics have boon curiously
mixed. BUTLER owns q large share In the
granite quarry at Quincy, Mass which sup
plies stone for the public buildings. A few
years ago ho built three palatial houses on
Capitol Hill, Washington, with stone from his
quarry. One he lives In himself, and the 9TH
crs he rents to Senators. He owns bunting
factory which supplies the Government with
all its material for flags, and has large amount
of money invested In other manufacturing en-
terpriscs. Besides his Washington mansion he
possesses two other residcnces-one at Lowell
and one OH the seashore near Marblchead. His
boast in his Nowburyport speech that hi
owned no Government bonds was = piece o.
characteristic etfrontery. He Is heavy holder
of the bonds of the District of Columbia, which
although not strictly Governments, are en-
dOrsed by the United States. The Cagernos
with which the poor mems party" picks VI
rich dcmagogues to lead It while dcclaimine
| against capitalists Is really ludiCrous.

PERSOSAL POLITICS.

When the Republican party was actuated
solely by its attachment to the principles
and dogmas of its creed and fought the
fight of faith in the fullness of a patriotic
sincerity, it became invincible and entered
upon the estate of power with marvellous
success. But unfortunately there Is too
large degree Of human nature incorpor-
atcd in American politics to permit any
party long to dwell among the bcatitudcs
This cngcnders selfshness, and seliishness
begets prejudice, and then follow personal
ambition, hate, and open antagonism, which
are the canker-wormso of politics and the de-
stroyrrs of unity, harmony, and party
longevity. Both existing parties arc affect
ed with these diseases, and both are more
or less influenced thereby TO their own
harm.
At the present hour there Is too much
personal politics, and too little strongly
planted devotion to the principles which
are INCORPORATED in political creeds. The
instances OF this character are too numerous
to be named in catalogue. The party
which has been in power for seventeen
years Is too full Of these for its own unity,
harmony, comfort, and efficiency, and
though the principles of the Republican
party are as enduring as the Republic-its
men change-and are thrown from one point
of fantagonism to another, with the facility OF
the changing sands ofthe seas bottom. Under
these clements of i'll within the party, prin-
| cinle Ia lost sipht Of md dpsertpd and mon

power and a wasting of its legitimate forces

CHARLES A. DAHAs, who have fastened
upon the Republican ship like so many
barnaclcs, and find no higher line of politi
cal action than that which is defined by per
sonal animosities and hates. He now ex
claims from the fullness of his heart, II still
hate ULY ssEs 5, GRAST"s And this ejacula
tion Is impulsed by the fact that there is mucl
loose talk over the country about Genera
GRANT in connection with the Presidency
in 1880. GRANT has not always filled tn,
cup Of DANA's ambition to the brim on de
mand, and hence he still hates ULYSSES S
GRANT and this hate forms the main
spring of his political action. But GRANl
is not the only man whom DANA hates
lie hates President HAYES If possible wOrsC
than he does General GRANT for the reasOr
that President HAYES is in power, whil'
GRANT is out, and HAYES has not pamperet

THOMAS JEFFERSON was pioneer Green
hacker. In his letters to Mr.. EPPIs volume
VI Of his works, he says:
Treasury notes bottomcd on taxes, bearing
or not bearing interest as may be found ncces.
sary, thrown into circulation, will take the
place of so much gold aud silver. Bank paper
must I've suppressed, aud the circulation re-
stored to the nation, to whom 1t belongs.
Bank paper, since General JACKSON de-
stroyed the United States Bank, has been n
snare and delusion, under which the people
have lost large amounts Of money. There
can be no possible loss on greenback note,
unless it is lost or stolen from the possessor,
and hence no other paper money should bo
issued to the people. National-bank notes
are next in value and security against loss,
but so long as the Government has con-
tracted to provide the people with cur
rency there is no necessity forany other than
gold, silver, and greenbacks OF its own issue,
Let this question be pressed upon the pop
ular mind in proper spirit and temper and
the national banks will lind it easy to wind
up and thus save themselves from the fur.

THERE is some talk about another Inter
national Exhibition or Worlds Fair in this
country. App'ctoR'S journal and the New
York Graphic have joined forces in the do
mand that it shall be held in New York
city. Here is a chance for Washington. We
have every advantage here that New York
has, and many more national and natural
attractions The matter is worth thinking
about and talking over. When Congress
meets, next December, a bill should be pre-
pared authorizing 1t and giving it the Gov
ernmeat sanction, which alone is required
to make it success The Philadelphians
began their preparations for the Centennial
in 1873. Let us begin ours now for an ex-
hibition, say, in 1888 This is the year Sc
lectcd as proper one by the New York
promoters of this object because the italian
exhibition is down on the bills for lS-l, and
because, unlike the Centennial, no political
or historical antipathics would be provoked
by the selection. They propose to erect the
necessary buildings on Governors Island.
We can put thom up on Kalorama Heighths,
or some equally commanding emincnce
within the District, and convenient to the
city.

Next comes GoRDoH, who was prominent In
command under LEE at the surrender q,
Appomattox, and who, rs a colporteur,
stumped his State, preaching irreconcilable
political doctrines after the war closed.
Then there is LAMAR, whose commission is
stained by the blood of murdered American
citizens, and who is chiefly known ss the
author Of the Mississippi plan, and the
nephew Of the man VINO imported q cargo
of slaves in the yacht America, in 1865, and
incurred punishment as n pirate. Then
there is VOORHEES,, who in April, 1861, d.
clared that he would never "vote one dol

WE have no political love for the Hon.
EpPA HUTTON. He belongs TO a party
which we dctest and hate for its multitu-

His record as IN American citizen during
the rebellion does not challenge our admi-
ration. But he is As good as the average
Democrat from the South, and we would
sooner see him returned to Congress than
almost any other Of his class, for the reason
that on all questions affecting the interests
of this District his course has been marked
by wise and generous sense OF justice
which challenges respect. We should like
to sec that district represented by stalwart
Republican like Mr.. MCKENZIE, but that
cannot at present be hoped for, and We fear
that to change Mr. HUYToN of for another
might bring less ability and no more hon
esty to that seat in Congress.

an earnest struggle to beat the indcpend-

1t seems probable that before 1880 North
Carolina will be divided by two parties, the
Democratic and the National, only. The
adherents of the latter will comprise all the
elements opposed to tho Democracy, and
will rely to some extent upon the votes oI
Republicans. 1t Is not improbable, how
ever, that the latter will keep up their or
ganization until after the next national
campaign. They are at least required to dc
something in the next national Republican
convention to offset their action in the last
