GEN. BUTLER AND :, n. ROYNTON.
The RumOred Rapture Retyssn Them
What ROyntOn SAYS About IL.

BosToN, October GA dispatch from this
city day before yesterday announced that
rupture had taken place between General
Butler and his partner, T. NJ. Boynton, on
account OF financial mismanagemen Of
the affairs Of the Pentucket Navigation
Company, After tracing various rumoH
and sitting them out, the true condition Of
thighs appears to be substantially as fol-
lows A few months ago former agent
was reported, not by General Butler, as
deficient in his accounts to the amount Of
several thousand dollaFs, From an exam.
ination Of the books OF the concern by m
expert, 1t was made q certainty that the
agent was n0ta delaulter II Is understood
that the affairs Of the company have been
very lily managed, Among the peculiar
things In the financial management II
Is claimed that old hulks have been pur.
chased for nominal sum and charged TO
the company ut greatly increased prices, q
piece OF property purchased at 5000 be.
ing charged of at $1,000; another piece
costing $500 being charged off at $1,000,
and another costing S40O being charged off
at 81, 800, II Is further claimed that prop.
erty charged to the company was never re.
ceiyed by the company, and u still grayer
charge Is that parties having access TO the
vouchers to substantiate these and other
allegations Of equal gravity have been APP
preached with view to their destruction,
1t was also reported that during the months
OF August and September, 1877, Mr.. Boyn.
ton had purchased machinery Of John G,
Bolander, Bowling Green, this city for the
company, and had leipuded the com.
pany by charging about twice what he had
paid. Tho difference, II was reported, had
gone into Mr.. BoyntOn'spocket. Mr.. Boyn.
ton, when asked about these reports,
promptly attributed their origin to a dis.
charged employe Of the company, who has
previously given them trouble. As to the re.
ported deficit, he said II was not large, and
was the result rs far as he knew, Of the
thefts OF this discharged emplOye. The
stories OF his own irregular dealings, Mr.,
Boynton said, were entirely malicious. At
the time alleged lie had no partnership
with General Butler, and the machinery
which he bought In 1877 was on his own
personal responsibility. Mr.. BOynton de.
MED the report Of u stormy interview with
General Butler OH Saturday last, and
showed an agreement relating TO their
business relations drawn up on that very
day and signed by General Butler and
