BUTLER RENoMINATED.

1t is now settled that Ben. Butler
will make a fight for reelection to
the GoYernorship of Massachusetts,.
In the State Greenback convention
on Tuesday he was renominated. In
itself this amounts to very little, as
the Gre nbackers, never very infu-
entail either as to numbers or the
ability of members, are on the wane.
Still, it is nomination. and puts so
many industrious, hard-working
voters in the field to "pUll' for the
old man. The Democrats will GER
tainly run him again, first, because
his administration has been able and
satisfactory, and second, for the too
apparent reason that if they can win
st all il must be under the LEADER
ship of Butler. 1t will be no walk
over for Butler. The Republicans
have nominated what is said to be
their very best man. and they are
more than ever determined to win.
Last year not only astoniahed but
frightened them, and for twelve
months they have been the most
Disguised lot of men who ever
claimed to be politicians They
have felt and acted as if the fact
that Butler was at the head of the
State government was a disgrace to
Massachusetts, and they propose to
wipe out the stain this fall.
Out Of total vote of 256,OSO in
1882, Butler had a majority of
only 1882, while the Democratic
vote was 1880 greater than it was
in 1881. 1t will thus be seen that
the outcome of the election was
phenomenal. No wonder the blue
blOods were paralyzed when they
saw the returns and contemplated
the revolution that had been
wrought. It is rare that two such
events occur in succession. Only a
few of the voters will have to return
to their fealty to defeat bluff old
Ben, and there is a fair prospect
that such backsliding will occur. 1t
ought not to, however, for Butler
has administered the affairs of his
State as ably and honestly as any
Governor who has preceded or as
any who is likely to succeed him.
Among Massachusetts, great men
she has none greater than the vet,
eran politician who is perhaps the
best-abused man in America.

future and shown him the United

coast section annexed to British

THE EVERGLADES.

There is one place in the United
States to which the famous pro-
clamation of Abe Lincoln never
penetrated, and where slavery still
exists to a considerable extent.
That region is known as the Ever.
glades, a vast extent of forest and
swamp occupying the lower end Of
the Florida peninsula, and which is
believed never to have been trav-
ersed by white men. Many years
ago the United States tried in vain
to drive the Seminoles from the
Everglades, finally giving up the
undertaking as bad job and max
ing a treaty with the tribe. Most
Of the Indians agreed to remove to
= reservation west of the Missis-
Bippi, but many of them refused to
go, and their descendants still oc-
eUpy the painless Businesses of the
terra i71cognito. 1t is not known
how many of them are there, the
census-enumerstors never yenturing
within the unknown precincts. 1t
is believed, however, there are 800
or 400 Seminoles in the Everglades,
and it is known that they have a
number Of negro slaves " no do the
mental labor that squaws perform
in other tribes. Not long ago a Sem
mole became dissatisfied with
one Of his slaves and took him to
the nearest white settlement fol
sale. He was greatly astonished
when told that twenty years ago al
the slaves were given their freedom
Replying: "White mans niger may
be free; Injun's niger not free" he
returned to his native swamp with
his chattel. The New Orleans
Times Democrat proposes the
thorough exploration of the Ever
glades, and to find out the mysteries
of the dark region. 1t has fitted out
and started well-equipped expedi.
ton, and ere long we may expect
maps and full accounts Of the region
that has hitherto bafflad the efforts
of the curious.

A Partisan Romance

The "Parisian Romance" which
will be presented this evening,
offers striking contrast to the
piece of last night. Instead of the
pastoral simplicity of the Alsatlan
village the audience is introduced
into the very vortex of Partisan
fashionable life, and the scenery and
dresses faithfully reflect the luxury
of that most extravaganza of capitals.
The story is one Of powerful interest,
dealing with some of the fundamen-
tai passions of humanity; and one
of the chief figures is that of an
aged roue, whose dissipation is only
checked by sudden paraly tic selz
uFe, which occurs while he
is holding high reveI at
supper given TO number
of ballet dancers. The 'fset" for this
scene is one of the most elaborate
ever placed upon the stage and has
been brought in its entirety from
New York. All the members OF the
company are included in the long
cast, which, beside the members
who won favors last night, will in
troduce Misses Minnie Conway and
Marie Lewis, and Messrs. Mansfield,
Magnus and Joseph E. Whiting.
The "Parisian Romance" is from
the pen of the distinguished novel
ist Feuillet, and the brilliancy Of
the dialogue is fully equal to the
strength of the characterizations
and situations. The play ran for
nearly $50 nights in New York, and
we can venture to prophecy WILL be
one of the greatest dramatic treats
ever offered to our public.

THE RAILWAY magnates in San
Francisco seem to be further from
an agreement than when they en-
tered the convention. 1t is too
much to expect that they will sep
arate without perfecting a plan for
fleeing the public, yet it sometimes
looks as if a combination could not
be made. The difficulty in the way
of an agreement seems to be that
each road is so much of "pork'
that it is unwilling to permit any
other road to have q fair share Of
the spoils.
