Questions National and Interna-
tional.

General Ben Butler was caught in the act
of visiting New York the other day by re-
porter of the Herald newspaper of that city
and put to the torture of an interview. The
General sustained the examination with
better temper than usual, conversing with
freedom and apparent frankness upon two
topics of public interest, the resignation of
Attorney General MacVeagh and the letter
ofSecretary Blaine upon the proposed Pana-
ma canal. He was as always vivacious, in
teresting, and truculent. The resignation
of MacVeagh he stigmatized as desertion on
the battlefield, and insisted That the FIRST
law off1crr of the Government is in honor
and duty bound to carry out the prosecu-
tions he began until relieved by order of the
President. His withdrawal from the De-
partment and the conduct of the Star Route
cases, is, General Butler opines, violation
of moral and legal duty. In regard to the
last the opinion of Mr. MacVeagh's critic,
who is lawyer of the first rank, is entitled
to high consideration.
General Butler is quite as decided in his
views of the canal question. He says he
should 60 farther than Secretary Blaine has
gone. He is opposed by every dictate OF
Judgment, and every sentiment of patriot-
ism to the Panama scheme. He does not
hold that the construction of the canal is
an infringement of the Monroe doctrine. but
that the projected water-route is not for the
necessity, convenience or interest of the
United States; on the contrary it will be in.
furious to us in time of peace and serious
danger in time of war. While he does not
believe in forcibly opposing the building of
the canal because we are in no condition to
resort to force, he does think that full notice
should be given to the constructors that
when it becomes, in the judgment of our
Government, for the interest of this country
to take possession of it, we shall do so who'll
ly irrespective Of any rights Of private prop
erty which may be claimed for the money
put into it. If, with this understanding,
capitalists choose to prosecute the scheme,
let them go on.
Such are the views, on two questions OF
great public interest, held by General But
ler. They are words of note if not of ac-
ceptance, and will certainly secure wide
hearing and attentive consideration. 1t will
probably be found that those who agree
with him are many.

THE annexation of Northern Idaho to
Washington is again agitated, and with it

New York and Ohio combined.

NINE seats in the Lower House of Con-
gress have been vacated since the election in
November, 1880. Evarts w. Farr Of New
Hampshire, died Nov. 30; Ossian E. Ray
has since been elected in his place. M. d.
OConnor, of Charleston, S. c., died in Nav
last; Samuel Dilable was chosen to succeed
him at special election held June 9. Mr..
Conger, of the Seventh Michigan District,
was elected to the Senate. and John T Rich
chosen member OF the Lower House in his
place. Mr.. Frye, of Maine, was similarly
promoted to the Senate, and Nelson Dingley
elected to represent the Second Maine Dis
trictin the House. There are four vacan-
cies in the New York delegation. The death
OF Fernando Wood necessitates a special
election in the Ninth District. The Repub-
leans have nominated ex-Collector Tom
Murphy, and Tammany and Irving Halls
have put up John Hardy. The Democrats
will probably elect Hardy, as their majority
in the district is very large. In the Eleventh
District, formerly represented by L. ?. Nor
ton, now Minister to France, w. w. Astor,
the young man Of the family, las been NOM
mated by the Republicans, and Roswell P.
Flowers by the Democrats. Chas. r. Skinner
has been nominated by the Republicans to
succeed Warner Miller in the Twenty-seyenth
District, and James W. Wadsworth to sue
ceed Lapham in the Twenty-second District.
Both districts are overwhelmingly Republi-
can, and the candidates of the party will be
elected. The special election in the First
Rhode Island District to fill the vacancy
caused by the elevation Of Mr.. Aldrich to
the Senate, will not take place until Nov.
