GEN. BUTLER AND HIS SLAM DERs.-Gen.
B. +. Butler has been fully vindicated in the
recent trial of Tilden as. Butler in the u. S.
Court in the city of New York. The suit was
brought to recover the value of the steamer
seized by Butler during the war, and which his
SANDER r, alleged had been turned over to the
possession Of his brother at a nominal price.
After hearing portion of the case, the coun-
sci tor Tilden asked the court to discharge the
jury and dismiss the case, as they were fully
satisfied that the case was made up by periured
b ack mailers and that Il e Gen. acted proper y
and honorably in the interest of the U. 5.
Government, and not at ali corrupty or dis
hOnOrably. This announcement was received
with applause in the court, as it was plainly
manifest that the whole suit was corruptly and
wickedy made up. The chief witness for the
prosecution has been arrested for perjury.

Those excellent people who think the denials
Of the parties implicated in the Credit Mobilier
scandal settle that whole matter forever, must
hnd their confidence disturbed by the letter OF
the Senator OF Delaware. Delaware had been
credited to one share in the stock which was
offered TO Mr. Bayard But with the simplicity
and and straight forwardness Of an honorable
man, he declined taking it until assured that the
corporation had no application to make to Con
gress upon which he should be called TO act and
even then without paying for it. OF course he
was dropped. Such incorruRlible integrity was
evidently surprise TO the manipuators of the
affair as his letter must be to those who still
think there is nothing in it, The revelations
already made fill US with shame and pain. III
Mr.. Ames and the other gentlemen implicated
In this disgraceful affair imagine that their
denials can possibly efface the positive evidence
Of great wrong if not Of sinpendous frauds,
they are more remarkably endowed with imag.
ination than with common sense or anything
but capacity TO be deceived.-The South.

Thomas +. Walsh made q complaint yesterday
before Commissioner Manicrre against Captain
Kennedy OF the Sixth precinct, Tor improper con-
duct Ii appeared from the testimony taken that
Walsh is the keeper OF liquor saloon at No. Is
Chambers street. A fight occurred there some time
since and a man named McIntee was severely
beaten. Walsh called In policeman and
caused the arrest OF Mclntee, who, when
he got to the station house, made
charge OF assault and battery against
Walsh. Upon this Captain Kennedy sent two
policemen to arrest Walsh, and when he arrived at
sent to the Tombs on the following morning and
disposed of in the usual way. Walsh's friends
however, were very Indignant at his Incarceration
and worked hard the night Of his arrest to pro-
cure his release, but were unsuccessful, and the
charge made yesterday morning was no doubt In
tended as q means Of getting even with the
Captain.


McIntee was placed on the stand before the
Commissioner, and he stated that he was badly
beaten by three or four men; he was compelled to
were very much cut. captain Kennedy testified
that he sent two officers TO arrest Mr.. Walsh; he
sent two because of the character of the men who
irequented the place. Mr.. Walsh desired
to know what the Captain meant by
"the character OF the men who went to
his house, Captain Kennedy explained that
there was always gang" about the saloon. He
named several persons who he said were arrested
there Tor various offences. Some OF these were
convicted in the Courts and others OF them had
disappeared. The case was then postponed for the
purpose oi hearing further testimony.

Testimony Taken Yesterday Before the
inspectors OF steamer Boilers-TOo
Many Cooks Crovviing Around . Boat.
The investigation into the burning of the Atlantic
Mail Lines steamer Missouri, which was burned Off
Elbow Key on the 23d ult., was commenced yester-
day morning, at the Inspectors OF steamers office,
% Pine street, before Inspectors Bralnard Of Al
bany, and Mathews, of New York.


The first witness called was Patrick McGovern,
one OF the walters on the Missouri. His testimony
was substantially as follows:-


Myself and others OF the crew were trying to
lower the aft starboacd boat. The Captain and
others were working at the aft poop boat, which
they got over all right, and when the men who
were working at our boat saw this they ran and
took possession OF her, and all the stewards de-
partment crowded around the same boat. l went
ait and got into the only boat that saved its crew.
When our boat was gotten out to sea we saw the
boat with nine men, which


HAD BEEN swAMPED.
They cried for us to assist them, and wo were go
ing to their assistance when passenger, named
Outerbridge, objected to such course holding that
our boat could hold no more and that by going
after these men we would endanger the lives OF all
in our craft; urged the crew to make for them
and give them all the assistance we could; two
sailors, named william Jones and Samuel Cohen,
said they would go to the boat and give them


CHANCE FOR LIFE.
We carried our point and made for them, and in
about fifteen or twenty minutes we reached them
and threw them q bucket to bail out their boat
with; they wanted us to take them in our boat. but
the passengers objected, saying that we could hold
no more and that II any more got in


WE WOULD BE IN ALL PROBABILITY swAMPED,
and II we took one we would have to take all.
Jones, one Of our crew, cried out for all hands but
two to get out so as to give the two in the boat a
chance to bail her out One man got out, but as
the others would not follow he got In again.
think If they had got out and had the boat properly
bailed they would have been saved, We proposed
to make Jones the commander OF our boat, but as
Captain Culmer had lived all his life around the
Keys and knew where we were he was put in CON-
mand.


WE SIGHTED LAND


about four o'clock in the afternoon, and were
picked up by the schooner spy at about six p. M.
the same day. During the fire and while was in
the boat the sea was running high and the wind
blew gale.


Samuel Cohen was next sworn. He said that
the fremen and engineer took possession of the
port boat, and that he and the captain, together
with Mr.. Brown, the first officer, tried to get the
forward port boat launched; but, finding that was
impossible, he ran aft and


JUMPED OvERBOARD


The boat In which the survivors were saved
picked him up Every one did as he was ordered,
and all available means were brought to eXtinguish
the fire, but nothing seemed to have effect. The
only way any of the women or children could have
been saved was for them to have jumped over
board, as boat could not live alongside.

The following We extract from speech


made by Judge Settle in North Carolina


Let US turn from this picture to the


field of Appottomax. We there find Gen


eral Lee at the head of his tattered, worn,


half-fed, half-clad regiments. offering his


sword in surrender to General Grant, and
when General Grant, with kind words.
refused to receive it, brave men who had
faced death on hundred fields wept like
children. Instead of wishing to see the
brave men who had surrendered to him
find poverty at their fresides and p iva
tlons in the anxious eyes of mothers and
rags of children. General Grant directed
that they should take their horses and
mules home with them, so that they might
make a crop and bless their tiresides with
peace and plenty. General Grant did
everything i'll his power to break the force
of that fall. No deed was done, no word
was spoken to wound the sensibilities of
any one. And from that hour General
Grant has exhibited chivalry, magnanim-
ltv, generosity and kindness to every law
abiding man in the South. In 1865 he
spoke the first word in favor of amnesty.
and also recommended that General Lee
should be pardoned. He frequently in
terceded with Andrew Johnson in behalf
of Lee and other Confederate leaders
whom johnson was anxious to punish
Grant contended that they could not be
punished SO long as they observed the
of the surrender.

The waters of Lake Michigan are only


thirteen feet higher than those of Lake
Erie. The Chicagonese having already
deepened the channel which divides their
city, so as to turn the waters of the Lake
into the Mississippi, the Pail Mall Bud
get suggests that by deepening this channel
the Mississippi could be made the outlet
of all the great lakes west of Niagara
Falls; project which it suggests is very
far within the limits of modern engineer
ing. The result of such an enterprise
would be to shrink the surface of Erie.
to shrink Niagara into a mere fall for
machinery propelling purposes: the St
Lawrence would become comparatively
an insignificant stream. The benefits of
such an improvement would be great. and
the Government has engineers enough on
regular pay to enable it to inquire into
the practicability of this project. 1t
would be singular, indeed, if this great
improvement should be carried out on the
suggestion of q London editor

A man who was an habitual
drunkard died recently in New
York under such circumstances as
render a corners inquest necessary
y post mOrtem examination dis
closed the fact that the blood was
large mixed with alcohol. The It's
sues were penetrated with it, and
the coroner declared that the heart
smelled as though stepped in alcohol.
This is in accordance with we'll
known nature of the fluid and the
office of the assimilating organs
of human the system. The stOm-
ach is the reservoir where the
products for nutrition are deposited
and where the important process of
digestion commences. Neither in
the stomach or elsewhere is alcohol
recognized by the tissues as a friend.

whether it be in the fiery brandy or
chop beer" and the substance re-
mains alcohol all through.-Meat,
bread, and all the ordinary articles
of food are reduced to a homogene-
GUS mass; alcohol, however, refuses
to coalesce, maintains its individu-
ality and is diffused through the
system in a pure state. 1t goes to
| the brain and nerve centres and
| there spends its force, irritating the
| fine, delicate tissues, in many cases
developing partial insanity for the
time being. The fiery irritant is en-
hanced in its deadliness by the

1t is as easy to be rich man as a
poor one. Half the energy display
ed in keeping ahead that is required
TO catch up when behind, would
save credit, give more time to at
tend to business, and add to the
profit and reputation of those who
work for gain. Honor your engage
ments. If you propose to meet a
man or do a thing at a certain mo-
ment, be ready at the appointed
time. If you 90 into business, at
tend promptly to the matter in
hand, then as promptly so about
your business.


Do not stop to tell stories in bust
ness hours.


Ifyou have a place of business, be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by setting around stores
and saloons. Never "foOl'' on busi-
ness matters. Have order, system,
regularity, liberality, promptness.
Do not meddle in business you know
nothing of. Never buy an article you
do not need, simply because ii is
cheap. and the man who needs it
will take it out in trade. Trade is
money.


Strive to avoid harsh words and
personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path; more miles can be
made in a day by going steadily on
than by stopping to Kick. Pay as
you go. A man of honor respects
his word as he does his bond. Aid,
but never beg. Help others when
you can but never give what you
cannot afford to. simply because il
is fashionable. Learn to say mol No
necessity for swapping it out dog
fashioned, but say it firmly and re-
spectfully.


Have but few confidants, and the
fewer the better.


Use your own brains rather than
those of others. Learn TO think and
act for yourself. Be vigilant. Keep
rather ahead than behind the times.

. In the first place, let us consider
the smallest quantity that can be
seen, namely, the minimum Visible.
This evidently can be divided in
to two parts, which alone have no
visible effect on the eye; but each
must have some invisible effect, since
both together produce the minimum
visible. We may see a forest green;
here each leaf is not perceived, yet
each has its effect on the eye. So it
is in respect TO the organ of hearing.
Each component part of the mini
mum audible has its effect. Going
out upon the sea-shOre, we hear the

here we do not perceive each small

unperceived. Hence we pass to the

The popular movement in favor OF


Judce Davis for the Presidency seems


% he more than skin deep. His ac-
ceptance of the nomination of the
labor reformers place him equally be-
fore the public gaze and it does not
appear that he has yet disclosed the
least vulnerable point of attack. The
bold and defiant attitude Of Sumner.
Schurz, Trumbull, Logan, Gov. Gratz,
Gov. Yarmouth, and Horace Gree
ly, is no longer a question Of doubt
and we may as well write down the
fact that Grant has ceased to repre-
sent the republican party as a unit.
As yet, we of the fallen and humilia
ted States have nought to do with the
movement. Our rescue can only be
effected by the same power which has
accomplished our overthrow. But it
does seem that God, in his good
providence. is satisfied with our hu-
initiation and has at length decreed
that those who have so nearly wrought
uor ruin shall now revolt at the very
thought of our further persecution.
