Butler In New Orleans.

"The late Gen. Butler was not a
favorite in New Orleans during the
war;" said a gentleman from that
city, ''but this was not solely be-
cause of what We regarded as his
oppression. The hatred inspired by
him was due in almost as great a
measure to the fact that we believed
he was laughing at us all the time.
His order that the quotation, The
Union must and shall be preserved
should be cut on the pedestal Of the
Jackson statue caused great indig-
nation, principally because there
was really nothing to complain of.
Another case involved the negro
question. At first a great many
people tried to avoid obeying But
ler's orders on the ground that
they were foreign subjects. One
day he issued a proclamation, re-
quiring all foreign subjects to regis
ter. Thousands of native-born
Americans registered as foreigners,
believing that it would be to their
advantage. No objection was made.
When the list was complete out
came another proclamation, declar-
ing the slaves of the foreigners free
on the grounds that the laws of the
countries the protection of which
they claimed did not allow them to
hold slaves. This might not have
been good law, but Butler knew
perfectly we'll that neither England
or France would make trouble be-
cause negroes were set free. The
Americans who had SO blindly walk
ed into the trap laid for them were
wild with fury, but by their own act
were stopped from legal complaint"

BowL1NG GREEN, Mo-, January
24.-Editor Journal: A man ought
always to be encouraged in good
undertaking. In advocating a ses-
sion of the Legislature once every
four years instead of biennially, you
are on the right track. If you can
accomplish that, you will be en-
titled to monument of any height
you desire. The only valid obIec-
ton to 1.-THE election of United
States Senators-will soon be remov-
ed, because in a short time they will
be elected by the people. When I
was in the Legislature over one
thousand new bills were introduced
into the House and about half as
many into the Senate. I have no
hesitancy in saying that if all of
those bills had matured into laws,
Missouri would have been a most
undesirable place of abode. l help
ed kill several hundred bills and I'm
glad of it. Wishing you success in
your crusade in favor of economy
and common sense, 1 am your
