The Butler-Perter Controversy. The Butler-Perter controversy continues, the former repeating and elaborating his charge that Perter ran away from New Orleans and the latter treating the charge with the contempt it appears te deserve. Briefly the charge Is that after the passage of the forts by Farragut's fleet Perter took alarm at a rumor Hint the rebel Iron clad Louisiana was coming down from the foils te destroy his mortar fleet. Ah the Louisiana was net completed and was without engines this was impossible, but Butler alleges that Perter steamed down the river past his transports and called te his. troops te fellow as the rebels were com ing down the river. Admiral Perter said he had regarded the I.eulslnna as fully as formidable as the Merrlmae, and he ex- xxted the enemy would send her down he river. Instead of running away, how ever, he issued a ireneral order te the fleet of nine Union steamers te te In readiness for the Lenlslana,and.when she came down they were all te make fast te her and drop their anchors. Men were detailed te pour musket balls into her portholes, and ethers were assigned te the duty of bearding her at every available point. Perter publishes a let ter from Farragnt commending him for his assistance and tells amusing stories at But ler's expense, among them the follewing: "A little boy came te me," he said, " with a deg te sell. I asked him what he wanted for the brute, and he answered 25 cents for the deg and Vt cents for the rei" "What's his nanieT" " ' Ben,' said the boy. He Is named after the big sejer who opened the Mississippi rihber and raptured New Orleans and did lets of glorious tings and wuutrd te be president." " I thought I recegnised the man tot whom the deg was named, though the little darkey couldn't iccall mere than Ben. I thought I had better buy the deg, and did se, sending him te the back yard with word for the cook te leek out for Ids welfare. The next day the excited master of cere monies in the kitchen appeared before me exclaiming: "Oh, Maistcr Admiral, iliU dere derg nil eat eberythtng in de house, and besides he'll ln the ruluaHluMi of yeus all. He's already run off wld de spoons, and has a-burled'de sllber forks in de back vard. " "Oh, Ben I Ben I" concluded the Admiral, " who could full te recegnise the immortal." Several eftlcers agree that home of Pei ter's mortar beets went down the river, but they are under the impression that they did se te pass up another channel and reach the rear or me ion.

It Is assurtcd that a funnel-shaped cloud, Indicating a tornado, was seen in the west shortly before, and the theory of seme Is that tfie frogs were caught up from seme slough In this w hirlu ind and carried lu the air until it spent itself, which happeiicd te be ever the centre of the principal business streets.

Knima replied that she did nothing and demanded te see his warrant. The constable pulled out a paper and whlle reading it Luima struck him In the face und skipped. Anether orslen of the affair Is that Shaub attempted te arrest Lmma and she le.sistisl and dining the scuffle a friend of Lmma's struck him in the face. The constable has net jet prosecuted Knima.

Tltfc "Turners" in Philadelphia have united in an appeal te the memlrs of sim itar organisatien throughout the state te work for the defeat of the prohibition amendment en June IB next. In a circular letter Jurt Issued they says Te the "Turners" of the state of Penn syhanU: On the 18th of June a special election will be held in this commonwealth fbr the approval or rejection of an amend ment) te the constitution -prohibiting tit manufacture, sale or keeping for sale Intoxicating liquor te I used as a beverage. I.t It, lie the duty of every fulr-nilnded and unprejudiced ell I ten en that day net only te defeat a measure bred by fanaticism anil Intolerance, but te bury It tieynnd resur rection by an overwhelming majority. Te convince the friends of the prohibition movement, judging from their unwar ranted utterances, lu their campaign sxsvhes and documents, of the Injustica and unfairness of their position by public discussion or argument Mould lie a useless task. Our only cffetsilve weapon te cemlmt the prohibition error is the luillet-lsn. Let every mau tin Ids duty, let us all Influence our friends and eeqnalntatns's, m that no vote may lie lest through Indifference, care lessness or neglect. The tyranny, injustice and dishonesty of the Prohibition movement, se arbitrary and despotic lu Its very form and nature, must tie obvious te every unbiased and thinking mind. Is It compatible with the idea of a free government that a larire number of its citizens shall Is) forcibly de- firlved of what te them Is an enjoyment of Ife lieeause another part may net have the taste or desire for the same, or have net the necessary power of self-control? Is It n Just and sound law te punish citizens of geed moral character and temperate habits by depriving tnein of a "beverage used as long an civilization existed merely te pro tect h ceninratlvcly small numlHiref weak characters unable te control their animal passions T Is it an honest law which de prives cltizens of a business legalized Mince the I'eu ml at Ien of this common wealth without lust compensation? Would you net call this legal robbery? ii your opponents assert that tne manufac ture and sale of alcoholic beverages are the main causes of immorality and crime they are wrong; It Is the misuse of these beverages which causes the trouble ; the manufacture and sale shall and must lie regulated by wise and just laws: reform In their use can only lie accomplished by a rational education. Is there anyone who lielleves that the evil of Intemperance ran lie voted away ever night ? llie prlncliile of Independence, equality and Justice, Indis pensable te the cxistonce of n free govern ment and the welfare of Its cillrens, would be seriously endangered by the adoption of this amendment, sociability would he destroyed, hypocrisy and an abominable spy system would be tlie order of the day. Therefore, let us net stand idle; de nil In ?-our iKiwer, wherever you have an opor epor oper iinltv, te bring out a full vete against pro hibition en the lHlh of June. IN THE POLICE CUVItTsJ.
