TIOE.

or"l,s to be Field Marshal for life.


CHICAGO, July 81.
The Times Washington correspondent
says: General Butler is reported to have
opened his heart to a friend a day or two
since on his political intentions. He says
he Will not ask an election to Congress, he
has strved his country in the capacity OF
congressman for 10 years, and he does not
care Tor further honors. Speaking about
the reported candidacy of ex-President
Grant for a third term, General Batter
said he did not believe Grant desired to
run again. II consulted, he tButler)
would certainly advise him not to do SO.
General Grant has reached the highest ele-
Walton which an American citizen could
possibly attain, and while all election for "A
third term would not materially add to his
~laursls, a defeat would inevitably rstract
from his fame. General Butler favors the
bestowal Of some substantial token Of the
high appreciation OF the American people
for General Grants distinguished services,
military and civic, and he would advocate
the passage of an act of Congrsss creating
Grant Field Marshal for life, with a salary
Of $4,000 a year. Some recognition Of
this kind Butler thinks would be a dtting
climax to Grants illustrious career.
