FILES HIS REPLICATION.
Butler Declines to Divide
q Legal Fee.

Ex-senator Matthew C. Butler of South
Carolina, in his answer filed late yesterday
afternoon to the Injunction proceedings tn
stituted recently against him by his former
law partners. Charles M. Shelley and James
H. G. Martin, denies that they have any
equitable claim in the fee in controversy.
Shelley & Martin asked the court to en-
Join the treasurer Of the United States from
paying to Gen. Butler considerable attor-
ney's fee due him In connection with the
S., zoo 600 claim Of the Cherokee Indians
against the United States. the appropriation
for the payment Of which claim was made
by Congress on the last day of the session.
Gen. i2utler declares that his former part
ners can have no interest In this fee, as
the contract under which 1t is payable was
made by him with the eastern Cherokees
some time after his retirement from the
firm Of Shelley, Butler & Martin. The con-
tract which the late firm had with the In
dams was, he declares. made with the Cher
okee nation and was later, he claims. re-
pudiated by the Indians That disposed OF
the old contract. he AYERS, and he was at
liberty to make q contract with the eastern
tribes, which he says he did, without refer
ence to the old Arm or It's contract.
Attorneys Leigh Robinson and Conway
Robinson appear for the ex-senator.
