BEN BUTT Err,

The death of BENJAMIN f. BUTLE r
closes an epoch in American history.
He was the last of the great leaders of
the Union in its tunes of deadliest peril
aud in its reconstruction. GRANT,
SHERMAN, SHERIDAN, HANCOCK and
LOGAN have dropped out one by one
within the last few years, until Ben
BUTLER alone was left of the men
whose careers comprehended and, to
large extent, controlled the most mo-
mentous and critical period of Amer
lean history.
Ben BUTLER dead will excite as great
diversity of judgment as did Ben But
LER living. No man of his times has
been more bitterly assailed than he, and
no man has more cordially reciprocated
the attentions of his enemies. He was
a good hater and a born-al6eit not
always judicious-1ighter. In war and
in peace he has always been in the fore
front of his country's affairs, and when
the contest was warmest he liked 1t
best. AS q military Strategist he was
not of the first rank, but he made up i'll
determination and aggreSSiveneSS what
he lacked in war lore. Whether it was
bullets or tOngue-Iashings, he always
gave back as good as he got. His chief
victories, perhaps, were those of peace.
In congress few dared to measure
lances with him in debate. The great
ambition of his later years was to be
elected governor of Massachusetts, and
he succeeded in this after running first
on the Republican and then on the
Democratic ticket.
AT the recent Grand Army reunion
in Washington Gen. BUTLER was the
lion of the hour. He was sauted and
honored as the last Of the great cap
tainS. 1t is pleasant now to think that
this tribute came to cheer his declining
days. lie deserved it, and it was a
soothing and grateful climax to career

means and what he would prevent, and
sundry papers are making themselves
either ridiculous by assuming a much
wider scope for the provision than
it is capable of, or open to
the suspicion that they fear the
bill will interfere with what they
make regular source OF income. The
measure is aimed at an evil which is
more widespread than is suspected by
those fortunate enough to have escaped
a nomination. A Republican candidate
in the First congressional district,a few
years ago, said that all but five OF the
papers of his party in his district de-
manded money of him as the condition
precedent to their support of him.

ATTACKED THE PRESS,
Novel Feature OF the Catholic
Controversy.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Evening
Telegram says: One of the most novel
features of the present controversy be-
tween the Catholics who are in favor of
the papal ablegate's authority and those
who are more inclined to Archbishop
Corrigan occurred in the chapel of ST.
Patrick's cathedral last Sunday even
ing. 1t was very significant attempt
on the part Of one of the priests of the
cathedral to deprive his people from the
advantages of free press and an open
discussion Of the present troubles in the
archdiocese. There was meeting of
the Sacred Heart society in the chapel,
and, of course, the subject which is now
paramount in the minds of all Catholics
came up for discussion. The priest who
was present, and who, it may be here
remarked, was not Rev. Father Lavelle,
addressed the members of the society
with much warmth.
"The present discussions Of the holy
church in this archdiocese" he SAID.
closely resemble the great troubles I'M
dergone by the church in ireland at the
hands of the bl0od-thirSty English. The
attacks on our reverend and beloved
archbishop only serve to show his hoIi-

ness and the grandeur of his Christian
spirit. desire to cautiony you not to read
the newspapers concerning these trou-
bles. Their statements are untrue,
and are made with the intention of in
juring our Beloved archbishop. His
enemies are the sponsors of these out
rageous attacks and the newspapers
have lent themselves into their hands
of false and malicious Catholics"
The remarks Of the priest occasioned
much comment among the members of
the society. Considerable annoyance
was expressed that any such instruc-
tons should be given by a priest at
tached to the cathedral and presumably
under the control OF the archbishop.

ANOTHER OBSTRUCTION.
Judge McComas' appointment
Still in the Committees Hands.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. The senate
judiciary committee spent more than
two hours today taking testimony rela-
tive to the charges against Judge Me-
Comas, and will have another hearing
omorrow morning. There were five or
six witnesses examined, their evidence
being intended to show that Mr.. McCo-
mas was connected with the National
Investment company of this city; that
the transactions of this city were inn
aginary; that Mr.. McCOmas was 10 be
its president, and he only drew out
when lie found out that he was to be
nominated for district judgeShip. 1t
is further asserted that the secretary Of
the company was elected upon the in
dorsement Judge McComas. If the OF
committee should be satisfied that there
are reasonable grounds that Judge Nc
Comas was connected with this invest
ment company, it is understood they
will widen the scope Of their inquiry
and look into the character OF the con-

Maryiand's Governor Saves Part
of the ChestertoWn Murderers
From the Rope.
Much Excitement and Indignation
on the Part of the Citizens
OF the Town.

CHEsTERToWN, Md, Jan. II. In
tense excitement reigns in Kent county.
Four of the octette of murderers who
assassnated Dr.. j. Il. Hill have been
removed from this place. Their SEN
fences have been committed by Gov.
Brown. Those whose lives are spared
are Henry HURT, Joshua Barnard,
Charles Emery and Lewis Benson.
Those who are left and who will surely
nang Friday, if they are not lynched be-
fore, are Charles Brooks. Moses Brown,
Fletcher Williams and Frisby Comegys.
Sheriff Plummer was awakened at
$500 o'clock this morning and Informed
that Capt. Cadwallader, of Baltimore,
was at the door with thirty policemen
and an order from Gov. Bro VIII for four
of the condemned prisoners whose SEN
fences had been committed to life i'm

The prisoners were carefully aWak-
ened, and in a few minutes were on
their way to the ice boat Latrobe, the
vessel on which Capt. Cadwallader had
arrived. A few persons came to the
wharf as the Latrobe steamed away for
Baltimore, but they did not know what
had happened until hours later. Ex-
citement and Indignation amounting
almost to madness followed the dis
covery. Remarks were made that it
would be dangerous for the governor to
be- seen about the city, now that the
murderers had been committed. Crowds
gathered in the nesghborhOod of the
Jail and i'll all places of public resort
and discussed the matter in loud tones.
There seemed to be but one opinion

The Latest Estimate Places 1t at
IaG $2O,OOO,OOO.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Director of Works
Burnham has mads another estimate Of
the amount of money necessary to
finish the worlds fair buildings and
put jackson Park in proper shape
for opening the gates of the EXPOSE
ition of May l. Much to the surprise of
the board of directors, this estimate
calls for between 100000 and $500, 000
more than any previous budget prepared
by the director of works. Naturally, the
directors who have heard of this esti-
mate are uneasy, as it was gen
orally supposed by them that the
top notch of possible expenditures
had been reached in previous calcula-
ton. 1t appears that Mr.. Burnham's
new estimate of expenditures is made
necessary. by the blunder Of suDor-
dinate who neglected to include i'll fig
uring on the cost of certain improve
ments the important item of labor.
This latter estimate raises the total eStl-
mate for preparing the buildings and
grounds to S20.000,000.
