GENERAL BrTLERS Happy Family

" ~ 4 a
While the Massachusetts Democrats have
permitted themselves to be hivcd by General
Butler they are not yet sufficiently rccOncilcd
to their new home to make it vocal with songs
of rejoicing. They decline to celebrate the re-
1noval with public feast The General is
aware of this now. He arranged a grand ban
quet for Washington's Birthday, to which
eminent Democrats from all parts of the coun-
try were to be hidden, but which was to be
mainly a Jubilee Of the Massachusetts DemOc-
racy, a sort of preliminary warming-up for
the coming campaign. when the General
is to be nominated by the Democrats for
Governor. The feast was ordered and the
guests were invited. Some of the responses
were not exactly what was expected, and there
was so much reluctance expressed about at
tending that the Generals lieutenants advised
that it would perhaps be wise for him to be
unable TO attend. 1t was feared that many of
the venerable and eminently respectable mem
bers of the party would have poor appc-
titeS if he were to be present as the mon
arch of the feast. Being most astute
leader, General Butler, therefore, discovered
that his engagements wOuld not permit
him to be present This reconciied the Mas
sachusetts guests, and revived their appe-
tiles so generally that about one hundred Of
them assembled on Wednesday evening. But
the illustrious guests from other States were
all unable to come. Mr.. Tilden sent his care
fully worded regrets to the lever patriotic
Democracy of Massachusetts," and the ever
patriotic had the banquet ali to themselves.
General Buffers chairman of the Democratic
State Committee presided, and made speech
which, we are told Confined the work of the
party very clearly He said the time
bad come for sturdy action, that the
Republican party refused to revise the
tariff; that it was not in favor of Civil Service
Reform, and had such a foreign policy that
can American citizen TOts for no crime in an
Irish jail" That is called outlining the work
of the party clearly" and we may be per-
mitted to say that it is giving the party good
deal of job. If General Butler runs for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts on a Tariff Revision,
Rotting platform, the campaign will be an i'll
teresting one. 1t will also be original, for few
Governors of States have been called
upon to settle questions which have
hitherto been left to Congress. But
General Buffers chairman is right about
one thing. If there is an American citizen
"rottngn in an Irish Jail, the time has ar
rived for sturdy action" by somebody.
The gifted John X. TarbOx, whose brief but
scintillating career in Congress may possibly
be remembered by few persons, was the
next speaker. He also "outlined the party
policy Of the future" and lie came at once

member, Mr.. John c. Jacobs arose in his place
in the Senate, and, with a voice suiiuScd with
emotion, remarked-in substance-tO his wrapt
associates, that he could tale unfold whose

make their eyes like stars start from their

cred himself of it a shudder went around the
listening circle ana his fellow members said

Since then Mr.. Jacobs has made no attempt
to throw any light upon this colossal mystery.
Contenting himself with the declaration that
he could, if he would, prepare feast at which
each one OF the legislators who listened to him
should sup full of horrors. he lets the arrange
ments for the uncanny entertainment droop and
die a. this tantalizing point. The effect of such
ungeDtlemanly conduct upon the Senate can
readily be conjectured Every man in it has
become well nigh frenzied with curiosity and is
wildly yearning for the hOur'when Mr.. Jacobs
will rise to question of privilege and relieve

The complaint of houscholders, that they
cannot obtain all the water they need, are
answered by the Department Of Public Works
with report again declaring that the present
aqueduct is inadequate. The Commissioner
dwells at length upon Mr.. Newton's plan for
the construction of huge dam III the Croton
River at Quaker Bridge, four and one-half
miles above its mouth, which would cause one
large reservoir to be formed in the stead OF
ten smaller ones, holding enough water to give
us 200, 900, 900 gallons day for 100 days.
The work of constructing a dam OF such
strength as would be required is pronounced
bv engineers to be feasible. This scheme OF
one reservoir has its advantages-tbe water
would be purer and the system less cOmph-
Gated. 1t is not small consideration that the
aoueduct to be built would be ten miles
shorter than that on other plans proposed.
With supply of CrOtOn water for nearly
three and one-haf millions of people, the city
might hope for a number of peaceful summers
when the water would flow above the first
floor,

On the other hand, down to the end Of July,
imports had steadily decreased, but the in
crease during the last five months of the year
was $50, 33J, 57S, nearly all within the last
four months. 1t has become q matter Of the
highest importance to ascertain in what articles
this great change hats occurred, and whether it
is wholly due to temporary causes.
More than the entire decrease in exports
appears in three articles, breadstuiis, cotton
and provisions. The aggregate Of ali other
exports was greater in 1851 than in 1850, anu
in some articles, as in petroleum, the increase
was considerable. In the following, tallow,
fish and dairy products and vegetables are
included with provisions, and the value of
domestic exports of the principal classes for
the past two years is shown:

Mr. Covert on behalf of the regular
Democracy of the State Senate provoked
discussion to-day which before it was con-
cludcd eifectualy disposed of the nebulous
and unfounded rumOr that the composition OF
the committees of that body was the result OF
bargain Mr.. Pitts, the recognized Republic
can leader, met the charge squarey. IT there
had been any bargaining he certainly would
have known of it. He distinctly states that
there was none, and his word is as Trustworthy
as his knowledge is ample. His unreseryed de-
rial was sufficient, but he made assurance
doubly sure by challenging Mr.. Covert
and those who set him on TO ask for com
mittee of investigation. 1t was the Democratic
opportunity in case there really had been any
bargaining. But Mr.. Covert declined to ask
for the suggested committee, thus atteStlng
that the charges which have been so indus
triously circulated are merely so much sound
and fury signifying nothing. Very likely the
charges will continue to be made as opportu-
nitv offers. But after this they can make no
impression upon anybody save some casual
overcredulous marine.
