SUIT AGAINST GENERAL BUTLER
To Recover His Alleged Dues te she
 Soldiers Home.

To Recover His Alleged Dues te she Soldiers Home.
 BOSTON, Dee. 2.-The case of the National Soldiers Home against General B. F. Butler
 came up for trial before Judge Carpenter and
 jury in the United States circuit court to-
 day. This is suit to recover $15, 900 al-
 leged to be due in the accounts of deneral
 Butler as acting treasurer of the institution.
 Judge Sawyer and Prentiss Cummings ap-
 peared for the plaintiff and General Butler
 in his own defense, assisted by T. D. Wash
 burn. MT. Cummings made the opening ad-
 dress for the plaintiff, stating in brief that
 General Butler was acting treasurer of the
 Home some time previous to 1880. When the accounts were audited for final settle ment a discrepancy of $15,O0 was found and this suit was brought to recover the amount. John w. Luffrio, office at Washington, was the first witness for the plaintiff. He exhibited General Buffers and General Tiltons &C., counts with the Home up the time of settle ment in 1880. Judge Carpenter refused to allow all the accounts to be put in evidence and ruled that the plaintiffs must confne themselves to the accounts directly affected by the question before the court General Hilton then took the stand and stated that he severed his connection with the Home in 1883. General Butler was president and act ing treasurer at that time. He asked General Butler to lend him $15,000 to start shoe shop in connection with the Home and the general accommodated him. Witness gave General Butler credit for the sum on the books of the house in the shoe shop account. The money was sent to wit ness from General Butler by General Kear- ney. The $15,000 he received from General Butler was outside the regular business of the house. The witness began to read let ter which he wrote to General Butler on the subject, but objection was made until the testimony of General w. D. Franklin had made it admissible. The noon recess was taken at this point
 This afternoon the prosecution called up Augustus Thom IS of Philadelphia, General Franklin and John Burke of Togus, Me, bookkeeper at the Home, all of whom gave corroborative testimony relative to that $15,- 900. Burke said that on May IF, 1879, he received s15,000 from General Butler on ac- count of the shoe shop, which was used in purchasing leather and which was afterward paid back to General Butler.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 2.--A Washington special to the Eagle says: In his message the Presi- dent will call attention to the regulation of the silver coinage by placing discretionary power in the Secretary of the Treasury and the reduction of the receipts by reduction of customs duties and international revenue taxes in order to prevent the redundance of revenue and too great an excess of the sur plus fund.- The President from the data furnished by treasury officers will be able to show that because another year has passed without trouble, notwithstanding the indif- ference manifested toward his recommenda- tions slast year, it does not follow that the danger has been passed. He shows that the favorable conditions of trade averted the complications threatened then, but that we are now much nearer 8 crisis and that when it comes it will come suddenly and will require prompt treatment.

 DUBLIN, Dec. 2.-Mr. Thomas Sexton, M. F., being asked by reporter this evening what in his opinion caused the action of the government in prosecuting MT. Dillon and proclaiming the National league said: ''I have no doubt that the success of the leagues campaign against the rack rent landlords compelled the landlords to appeal to the government and the government could do no less than yield to their appeals and be consistent with their professions" MT. Sexton was then asked if he thought the league would be suppressed, to which ques- ton he replied: "No. If the government at tsmpts to suppress the league by the acts of the viceroy they will be placed in ruinous- ly untenable position. Moreover if the league should be suppressed and meetings proclaimed the government would find the situation more difficult than ever as public indignation would make the success of the tenants more rapid and more certain"
