A WESTERN paper suggests that Gan. Butler
might interest his audiences by telling them
how, as President of the Board of Managers
of the United States Military Asylum, he
managed to make money out of its location
at Fortress Monroe, which he had managed
to absorb during tine war. When it became
probable that the asylum would be located at
that point, he sold the land to his brother
in-law, one Hildreth, for $3S,OO0. After
wards, as President of the Board of Manag-
ers, he bought the lard back of Hildreth for
10000, and Hildreth testified before Con-
gressional committee that the purchase
money was never paid to him, but to General
Rutler
