General Butler on HIS Canvass.


General Butler, it will be seen from the
interview with o representative OF the
HlRALD last evening, is still sanguine OF
success in his campaign. Where his vote is
to come from where the one hundred and
forty or fifty thousand men who must march
to the polls to elect him now are, he does
not say, except that they are somewhere
within the borders of the State. The figures
Of his secretary, which we printed yester-
day morning, in which it was claimed that
the gallant General would capture seventy
thousand of the one hundred and eight
thousand that voted for Mr.. Tilden, leaving
the Faneuil Hall party only beggarly thirty
eight thousand, are repudiated by him. He
is equally emphatic in declining all re-
sponsibility for the statement that he would
obtain thirty-five thousand regular republi-
cans. This arithmetical exactness is not
to the Generals taste. He is full Of the
most magnificent expectations and wisely
believes that it will be time enough
to begin the counting when the election is
over. There is one point, however, upon
which the General ventures little
prophecy-namely, that in this State at the
coming election the greenback party will
cast one-third of the vote. If the estimate
of his strength in Massachusetts, has no
better foundation in fact or probability
than this the republicans of the Bay State
need not have much fear of the Butler
Adullamites.

THE wEArnER.-But very little change has
taken place in the barometric conditions during
the past twenty -four hours The depression has
moved slowly eastward and the pressure within
its area has risen somewhat. The barometer
continues high OH the Atlantic coast 1t is high
est over the Middle Atlantic and New England
districts 1t has remained nearly stationary
over the Gulf. Rain has fallen in the
northern lake regions, the South Atlantic
and Gulf coast districts. Elsewhere partly
cloudy weather has prevailed. The winds
have been brisk over the northern
lake region and the Northwest and generally
fresh elsewhere. Temperatures have risen in
the Middle Atlantic districts and the lake re-
gions aud fallen elsewhere. The weather in
New York and its vicinity to-day will be slightly
warmer and partly cloudy Tomorrow the
same conditions are likely to prevail in the
early part of the day and be followed by in
creasing cloudiness.

A Discontinudnce on the First Of Jan

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Potsmaster
General Keys to-day directed letter to
be prepared for transmission to the Speak
er of the House of Representatives fore
shadowing discontinuance of the postal
car service in all parts of the country on
the first day of January next, unless
Congress in the meantime make an ap-
preparation for railway mail transporta-
ton during the current fiscal year will
as shown by the Postmaster-General's
annual report fall short of meeting
the cost of all descriptions by about
half million dollars. The cost of
the postal car system is about $1000,-
900 per annum, and the entire withdraw
al of the postal cars from the 1st of JAN
uary to the 30th ofnext June, will there
fore effect saving of 100000, and bring
the expenditures for railway transporta-
ton within the total appropriation for
he fiscal year. No step having yet been
taken by Congress to supply the deficien-
cy, the PostmasterGeneral feels compell-
ed, though with great reluctance, to pre-
pare for the adoption of the course above
indicated, as the only available means of
continuing the old system of transporting
mails OH freight cars with the present ad-
vantages of speedy distribution while in
transit.

NELSON J. LEES ELOPEMENT

The Baltimore Gazette states that Mr..
William Delphy, proprietor of the st.
Louis temperance hotel, in that city, has
received from his correspondent at Spar
ia, Wisconsin, another letter in relation
to the movements of Nelson j. Lee and
Miss Ida Foutz. The letter states that
they have left Sparta and gone to Chica-
go, where they stopping at the Washing
ton hotel. They are said to be shadowed
by the police of that city. Miss Foutz
has received draft on the bank of Spar
ia for sum of money due her in the
settlement of her estate, but the draft at
the time the letter referred to was writ
ten had not been cashed. Mr.. Delphy
was called upon few days since by Mr..
John Delhi, of Frederick county, a
brother-in-law of Miss Foutz, and in
whose hands her money was. Mr.. Delhi
stated that he had been written to several
times to forward the money, but refused
to do so until Miss Foutz wrote to her
mother that she had been married to a
MIR. Fitzgerald, at the same time sending
a photograph of the party she pretended
to have married, and then at the solicita-
tion Of Miss F0utz' mother he forwarded
a draft for $1,S40. When shown the
photograph of Lee, Mr.. Delhi said it bore
no resemblance to the one sent by Miss
Foutz to her mother as that of the man
she had married.

After the Court had adjourned quite
an affecting sight presented itself As
soon as the crowd had dispersed from the
front of the dock quite a number of the
relations and friends pressed forward to
greet the prisoner. Among these were
a number of ladies', two of whom were
evidently near relations, as he received
them most affectionately. They seemed
deeply concerned over the unhappy po-
sition in which the prisoner was placed.

j. II. Fields Lecture.

The lecture by ]. T. Fields, at the
Grand Opera House, last evening, was
only slimly attended, but those present
enj dyed one of the rarest intellectual dis
courses ever delivered in this city. His
subject was "Fiction, old and new, and
its eminent authors" and in its simpli-
ticatien he ably separated the true and
ennobling literature from the false and
debasing trash that has been set afioat
under the honored name. He also ex
patiated upon the personal merits and
popular productions of such authors as
Thackeray, Washington Irving, Charles
Dickens, j. Fenmmore Cooper, Maria
Edgeworth, George Elliott, and others
whose efforts have added lustre TO their
names and given their efforts an undying
character, whenever true literature IS ap.
preciated and enjoyed.
The lecture was full of rich thoughts
and rare descriptions, and was delivered
in that pleasing manner that draws the
close attention of the hearers and makes
them feel as though they were listening
TO conversational discourse, directed
personally to each. Tonight Mr.. Fields
will deliver another lecture on civilian
Cullen Bryant" which should by all
means be largely attended.
