Ben Butler Slandered.


The republicans have opened the full
campaign in the old Bay state. They
begin work by savagely assalling Ben
Butler They declare that he has "foully
sandered" Massachusetts,. We fear the
people will demand that they particu-
larize Did the governor "fOully SLAM
der" the commonwealth by exposing the
horrors of Tewksbury? That, probably
is what the committee mean. The pub
lie men who succeed Charles Sumner
and Henry Wilson appear to be all Peck
sniiIian hypocrites. Their logic is that
of the "smart thief" With them dis
grace attaches not to the commission OF
heinous ohenses exposure alone is Grim
inal The Tewksbury scOundrels should
be protected-the merely starved young
paupers, sold their bodies and tanned
their skins. Butler should be tlayed
alive-he called the cOuntrys attention
to the eXecrabIe outrages in a "highly
moral" state.
Even republican journals outside the
balefuI boundary Of Pecksniff lIoar's do
minions are forced to confess that Butler
uncovered an eleemosynary hell. "The
republican newspapers Of Boston, says
a Chicago contemporary, "concede that
the Tewksbury tlmshouse was not hu-
namely and decently conducted. They
only claim that it was economically and
honestly conducted. The same claim
might be made on behalf Of the Libby
prison, or of that at Andersonville.
Something more than economy and abb
stinence from direct larceny is needed
on behalf of those who undertake to
make money by standing between the
people and the peoples poor. Decency
and humanity should be exacted of all
such officers. On question of human
ity no man has a right to draw party
lines. The republicans who vote to sus-
tain inhumanity because republicans
have committed it, are knaves, and the
sooner their party throws them over
board the better. We regret, therefore,
that the republicans of the investigating
committee made report plastering over
and whitewashing the Tewksbury iDiq-
uity, leaving none but democratic COM
mitteemen to condemn it. Such repub-
lican investigators do their party no
credit, and the sooner and more COM
pletely they are whipped, whether by
Butler or any other politician the better"
Confessedly, the conduct Of those who
had charge of Tewksbury was clearly
shown to have been atroCiOus. The rev.
elations were of character to shock the
moral sense of every man of heart.
Half the evidence could not be aCceded
without raising feeling of disgust in
the reader and wish that the wretChes
who starved the pauper children, that
they might the more quickly dispose of
their bodies to the dissecting room and
their skins to the tanner, could them
selves be forced to suffer the same tor
lures which their mercenary malignity
had inflicted upon others. These are
the scoundrels whom the "bluebloods"
of Boston and Harvard have the shame
less effrontery to defend. We imagine
the honest, God fearing people of the old
Bay state will again repudiate such ras-
cally "bluebloods." We hope the pop
ular pulse will throb in response to JUS
tice, and that Ben Butler will again be
seated in the commemorative gubeT-
material chair.-Western Workman.

WEDDING DAY.

They stood togther, hand in hand,
Amid the happy wedding cheer,
Upon the borders of land
Whose rare enchanted atmosphere
They had not breathed yet; not blur
Of doubt her perfect faith could dim
He was the man of men for her
She, the only woman made for him.
They stood exchanging troth and plight,
Five years ago tonight.
They knew the realm that stretched beyond
Held heights wherein the purple play
OF loves full sunshine fair and fond,
Was never seen to hide away.
They knew that there we're CULTS to cross,
And many a tangled path to tread,
But whether strewn with flints or moss,
What need they care, since overhead
The lambert honeymoon shone bright,
Five years ago tonight?
Twas not to be setting moon,
Like early ones, but heavenly clear,
To pour its beams steadfast boon
OF blessing hro' the cireling year.
And now into each others eyes
They look ana say, sour dreams come
true;
But could it, dear be otherwise
With you to love me sO-with you
To pledge me all this strange delight,
Five years ago to-nightr
No cross has come too hard to bear,
No care that hid too keen a smart,
With two the burdens weight to share,
With two to lift it from the heart.
They had not dared to ask so much
OF bliss that should not know alloy,
Or hope that time would lay a touch
So gentle on their perfect ioy.
