Butter, the Iowa eN-congressman whose
mysterious disappearance from 0elwein
has caused SO much speculation as 10
his probable fate, was seen by the
Chicago Herald correspondent here in
the flesh, and ready and anxious to set
at rest the many rumors concerning
him. He presents Il splendid physique.
and is the very personification of
health and strength, but admits there
is ono blank in his life which he cannot
fill-the period covered by the time
when he left the oclwein normal
college until he arrived in this city,
almost without money. without a
change of clothing and minus his
watch and chain and knights of
Pythias charm, which he says he
always carried. He is reluctant to
admit that at any time hehas not been
mentally right, but says he has no
memory of anything that transpired
after he left the normal college at
Oelwein on the Thursday, he thinks,
before Thanksgiving. He says that
when he reached this city he hnme-
diately wrote his wife at West Union,
where She was, that he would return
as soon as he had money to pay his
way home. He says that he had 10
idea there would beany uneasiness felt
for him, and that he charged his wife
rot to say anything of his being in the
city or that she had heard from him.

KENTUCKY POLITICS.
Breckenridge Is After Senator Blackburn's
Scalp.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 4.-Ihe sena-
torial race promises to be unusually in
teresting and run in manner not
heretofore the case. Both Buckner
and Brown have declared themselves
in favor OF having the convention make
the nomination. Whether this will be
regarded by the legislature as binding
is a matter of speculation. At least
the race is TO be brought as near the
people as possible. 1t is generally
conceded that Blackburn has got the
fight of his life on his hands Brock
inridge is knitting him. and what makes
it more critical for Blackburn is that
his home counties lie in the Ashland
district. where the embers of the
breckenridge fire are still shoulder
ing. McCreary is less identified with
any of the factions and appears to be
strong factor in the race.
