lit is the subject of considerable g,s-
sip in political circles that a vast number
: of men from the south are visiting Bos-
ton. and are being cordially received by
the Governor of Massachusetts. The OBJ
; ject of these visits is ostensibly to attend
+, the Inter State fair and to these gentle.
men Gov. Butler is specially attentive.
1t is reported that even Grow. Jarvis, o,
the Old North State, has said that he has
: found Gen. Butler to be a much better
I man than expected When Mrs.
5 "Stonewall' Jackson and her daughter
, arrived the governor, in the blaDdest way,
paid her many attentions and escorted
her to breakfast. 1t has been surmiseG
that Gen Butler had an eye on the Dem
. Ocratic nomination, but in no way has he
bid SO high or SO loudly for it as in atten
lions to southern visitors at the Boston
fair Chicago Weekly Netos.

1t was Butler who first refused to
return stolen property. He said negroes
