We would like to know how Gen. Butler
explains his conduct in the case of the Smith
Brothers, of New Orleans, who sued him af-
ter the war and made him restore to them
$40, 900 that he seized In their bank while in
military command there in 1862. The facts
arc largely on record in the United States
District Court of New York and they are not
to be dlspelled with that evasive fippancy so
characteristic of the SUMS candidate for the
presidency.
The Smith brothers were New York men
who had gone to New Orleans and established
private bank Butler had no more right to
invade their establishment and take their
money than he had to burglarize a private
residence. But he did it under the guise of
military expediency. As the commander of
the army OF occupation he had the undoubted
right to confscate the property of persons in
state of actual rebellion, but the Smith
brothers were northern men and had COM
mitted no disloyal act Even supposing they
had done so, thus giving Butler the right to
contlscate, it would have-bcen his duty, of
course, to turn the money realized into the
United States Treasury. But he did not do
that.
The war closed, and Smith Brothers, be-
lieving they had valid claim against the
govern ment, went to the treasury ut wash
ingtOn, but were told that the money had
not been turned in. They then put their
case in the hands of Mr.. Edwards Pierrepont
who brought suit for them in the United
States Circuit court of New York against
Butler. The suit was decided In favor of
the plaintiffs and Butler had to disgorge.
If this iss2Ot truthful statement of this
case we wd&ld like to see one made by some
one authorized to do so by Gen. Butler him
self. We will promise to give 1t q place in
the World. But If it be really true that
Butler took the $4,000 from the Smith Broth
ers on the pretext of coniscating it, or any
other pretext, and failed to report it to the
Treasury department at Washington, but
put it in his own pocket and carried it there
until compelled, by lawful verdict fifteen
years later, to restore it to Its rightful own
ers, we desire to know how far such conduct
is removed from robbery. That is what it
would re called ii 1t had beeu done by Frank
James or any other distinguished highway
man or bandit.

Large sized photographs of James G.
Blaine's 100000 palace in this city have
been and are now being numerously distri-
buted throughout Maine and other New Eng
land states. The object is to show how the
members of congress can make money rapid
ly, and build for themselves palatial man
sions. Mr.. Blaine has rented his house fur
nished to Mr.. Letter, OF Chicago, retired
merchant. it is said, for $500 per year.
The mansion is said to be one of the finest
and most deliberately furnished in the coun-
try. When Mrs. Blaine was in Europe she
purchased all the fine art for the mansion in
Paris and it is common gossip that it was adj
United through the custom house free of du
ty, Mr. Blaine at the time being secretary of
state.
His opponents two years ago distributed
photographs of the mansion of ex-senator
Window of Minnesota, which is said did
considerable towards defeating him for re-
election to the United States Senate from
that state. The same thing was done
in the case of ex-Secretary Robe
son when he was q candidate
for reelection to the forth-eighth congress
from the Camden (N.J) district. All these
statesmen who have built elegant mansions
in the city, have so far been defeated when
they went before the people for reelection.
Ex-senator Pendcton, who built an elegant
house adjoining Robeson's, and near Win
dom's was the last of those defeated. Don
Cameron whose stately mansion is in the
same neighborhood, it is said, viii probably
be retired at the end of his present senate
rial term, which expires next March.
1t is the intention of the Democrats to dis
tribute Photographic pictures of the immense
granite stone mansion on Capitol HILL 1t is
said that every labor organization will receive
one Of these pictures. Buffers house is one
of the objects always pointed out to strangers
who visit the capitol. 1t is said that 1t is a
finer palace than the White house. aud it was
occupied by President Arthur in lieu OF the
executive mansion when he succeeded to the
presidency after President Garfield died, and
he remained there during the first few
months OF his administration. Poor Ben
rents his house to Senator Jones, one of the
bonanza kings of Nevada The building is
now divided into three distinct houses, Con-
gresham Russell representative wood-pulp
monopolist from Massachusetts occupying
one portion and the government rents the
remainder. From these tenants Butler real
ICES perhaps, more in one day than q work
ing man makes in one year. 1t is state
that he receives S13, 900 from Senator Jones,
from Congressman Russell 81, 900, and from
Uncle Sam $1,000, making total of S24,-
900 year.
