GEN. BUTLER'S CAREER.
GENERAL MCOOK's OPINION OF
OLD BEN.
He Was Not Soldier, but Possessed
High Administrative Powers
and Ability in Many
Ways.

81 cannot give you much of an opinion
about General Butler" said General
McCook yesterday to HERALD reporter
in response to an inquiry, "for never
met him, and what 1 think of him Is
based on hearsay evidence. You ask
what think of him as soldier. do
not think he was soldier; as far as l
of battle or issued an order in the field.
Of course what know or think of him
is based entirely on hearsay evidence, as
never served with him, never really
knew him, and only saw him on one oc-
casion, when we both took breakfast at
Wizards hotel in Washington. he at
one table and at another.
Gas an administrative officer, his
success at New Orleans puts his reputa-
tion beyond question. His administra-
ton of affairs in that city was produc-
tive of good. His hanging of Mumford
for hauling down the flag at the custom
house has been criticized: but that was
the time for severe measures, and they
resulted in much good throughout that
part of the south.
"He was essentially a governor, rather

seemed to have been born to take charge
at New Orleans.
Butler was most peculiar man but in
all particulars showed an able mind.
He showed his erratic nature in his
opinion of West Point graduates. In
his talk and in his look he spoke in a
most derogatory manner of West Point
ers, yet he always surrounded himself
with them, if remember right an over
whelming majority of his subordinates
being from that school.
81 have always held high opinion of
General Butler, because of my complete
confidence in the justness and correct
ness of President Lincoln's judgment !;
Mr.. Lincoln knew relied very much on
Buffers opinion, and frequently con-
suited with him and asked his advice.
AS politician, as an administrator, as a
lawyer, and as an able man Butler
stands high, and it is not derogatory of
him to say that he was not soldier.
He might have been if he had had the
opportunity, but he served his country
we'll and ably wherever he found him

Two Brief Opinions Received Yesterday
by the Deputy Clerk.
Deputy Supreme Court Clerk Ash
more received decisions in two cases
yesterday. The opinions were very
brief
In the case of Spence VS.. Scott, the
court says: "Upon further considera-
tion OF this cause, after hearing in bank,
we are satisfied with the conclusion
which was reached by department one
in it's opinion filed September 2, 1892,
and for reasons stated in said opinion,
the judgment and order appealed from
are affirmed"
In the case of the people of the
state of California, respondent, vs.
John Moran, appellant, the court, in
denying the motion for reversal, says:
"The clerk, by mistake, having failed
to make record of the filing of appel
lant's brief in the foregoing action, it
was not brought to the attention OF the
court upon the consideration OF the
merits Of the appeal. Appellant now
moves to set aside the judgment and
grant rehearing of the cause for that
reason. Upon an examination OF the
specifications of error relied upon by
appellants brief, we find nothing to
justify reversal of the judgment. Let
the motion be denied.
