EXIT BUTLER.
Mr. MoVeigh's reply to Butler's last
offusion of blaokguardism is a finisher.
Old Ben had better retire for awhile
and recuperate the vigor of his sour
rility. The keen rapier of the Yale
graduate has very effectually let out
all the foul air of his wind.bag. This
was a service -a public and national
duty-for the skillful and effective per
formance of which MoVeigh is entitled
to the gratitude of the public. It has
been a grave reproach to our country,
and especially to the Press, that Butler
should have been permitted so long
to affront public decency with his filthy
diatribes. The publication of his
wretched, demagogical and sensational
letters and sayings has exceeded all the
limits of tolerable blackguardism even
in a press as vulgar and unscrupulous
,as that of the North. His last effort in
that line was his crowning achieve
ment in the way of scurrility; virtually
confessing to the Charge of robbing
our people whilst military commander
here, he seeks to ward off the blow
so skilfully levelled at him by MeVeigh,
by imputing to him, as a still
lower' order of vice and corrup
tion, the marrying a daughter of
Simon Cameron, and of having
to wait longer for the enjoymient of his
wife's inheritance than he caloulated
on. We have never, in the whole range
of licensed scurrility among Northern
politicians and writers, witnessed so
weak and base a resort as this. And
yet Butler is a representative from the
enlightened and highly moral State of
Massachusetts, and has several times
received a large vote for Governor in
that State; and there are politicians,
Congressmen and journalists there who
toady to him and applaud and laugh
heartily over his happy hits and au
dacious defyings of all the decencies
and proprieties of life. It was by the
display of his brutality and blackguard
ism against the people of this city that
Butler managed to secure this sort of
respect and applause from the New Eng
land people. Their curses, like chickens,
have come home to roost.
When Butler issued his notorious "Or
der 28," directing his soldiers in this city
to treat, as women of the town, all ladies,
who might decline to extend courtesies
to them on the streets, which Lord
Palmerston, in the House of Commons,
pronounced the most infamous order
ever issued by a military commander,
he was. warmly commended and ap
plauded for it through all New England.
Even Charles Francis Adams, then
United States Minister at the Court of
St. James, a man who affects the high
est sense of dignity and propriety in
his official and social relations, under
took to rebuke the chivalric old Eng
lishman for his manly utterances, and
Wendell Phillips ran out of words of
eulogy and commendation of the heroic
conduct of the cowardly Massachusetts
blackguard and bully on that occasion.
In reference to this incident Col. Hoff
man, a distinguished officer of the
Union army, has recently published an
interesting memoir of the events of the
late war, wherein reference is made to
the circumstances of the order, and it
is said Butler's staff emphatically dis
alpproved of and condemned it
when it was read to them by Butler,
and that Butler replied to these objec
tions by saying that such an order would
be hailed with great applause in New
England, and would make him very
popular with the school marms of that
section who had a great jealousy and
hatred of Southern " ladies."
Trouble Between Itatera and Wresern
Demoerats.
[Toledo Blade.J
Another disruption of the Democratic
party is imminent. The bloated bond
holders, who are the brainy end of the

they were to letting George H. Pendle

Trouble is again imminent between the
New York and Ohio wings.

when a now General is elected.
-Roforring to the now Capitol appropria
tion, the Rochester U(nion says: "In view o
the maturing judgment of the poploe of the
State that its Capitol should be removed to
and establlshed in its groeat metropolis--tihe
metropolis of the country-it will probably
not make much difference whether the $500,
000 is expdnded in tearing down or building
up. In either case the Albany hucksters will
be satisloed, as all they care for is the ex
penditure of the money in their midst."

THiE TROUBLEM IN AUsTRIA.
A Wide Variety of Oplnlons Among the
Many Nationalities of that Country.
The anti-Russian disposition of the
Pope is having a marked effect upon
party feeling in Austria, and intensifies
the bitterness between the Clericals
and the Nationalists. The Politi/l, the
most devoted Czech organ in Bohemia,
and the Ultramontane Vaterland are in
full conflict, and exchanging compli
ments worthy of some of our own re
ligious journals. One thinks National
ism "heathenish and infamous," while
the other regards "Catholicism as stu
pidity itself." When the Czech journal
speaks of "the Emperor," it means not
Francis Joseph. but the Czar, and this
has caused the Polish papers in Galicia
to declare against the Czechs. As re
gards the third Slavic element in Aus
tria, the Croats, they are neither hot
Russophobists, like the Poles, nor en
thusiastic Russophiles, like the Czechs.
The recent pro-Russian demonstration
at the reception of the Archduke Al
brecht, in the Croatian capital of
Agram, was only a counter-blast to the
Magyar endorsement of the Turks, and
amid all this confusion, and dominating
it like the clamor of a great bell over a
tumult, rings out the formidable clang
of the religious question.
SOUTH AND WEST HARMONIOI'N.
Shreveport Times (Dem.): The South

Western idiot, like Bolman, sometimes
comes to the surface ana publishes
himself an ass by attempting to close
down on the South, now that the North
has got all she wants; but the results of
the last election most happily demon
strated that the people took somewhat
of a malicious delight in electing all
such men to stay at home. The West
ern man may be generally depended on
to do what is right on all questions that
affect the welfare of the people of the
Mississippi valley.

The market opened quiet, with only amode
rate inquiry, mostly horm buyers who claimed
eonoesslJou, which they could not obtain, factors
adhering to their previous pretensions, notwith.
standing the rather discouraging tenor of the
New York telegrams, and the business during
the morning was consequently confined to about
600 bales, after which there was no material
change, and the additional transactions reported
did not exceed 95J bales, restricting the day's
business to the limited amount, as noted above,
of 1550 bales. Nothing transpired to indicate
any quotable variation in prices, which, however,
were barely maintained, offers being accepted
which were refused yesterday, but showing no
actual falling off from the advance then estab
lished.
The dispatches reported Liverpool firm at
previous rates, with sales of 10,060 bales, and
buyers offering 1.161 lower for arrivals, which,
however, closed firm; Manchester firm; Havre
