Last evening our reporters Lad interviews
Tvith several of the passeDgers of the ill-fated
steamship Santiago de Cuba, the stranding of
nhich on the coast of New Jersey, near
Atlantic City, yesterday morning, was stated
in Tub Kvbnino Telegraph of yesterday after
noon. A careful comparison of the different
accounts of the disaster, as given by the
passengers, leads to the belief that the follow
ing account of the affair is essentially correct:
On the 27th of April, about 875 passengers lef
San Francisco for New York, on the vessel of
the Nicaragua Bteamship Transit Company.
On the 14tb of May they arrived at Grey town,
Nicaragua, and on that day took passage on the
Hani into de Cuba, commanded by Captain
Charles F. W. Behm, for their Anal destina
tion. Nothing happened to mar the voyage
until the night of Monday, the 20th instant,
When the vessel was oil' Cape Haltoras. Most
of the passengers assert and believe that the
vessel grounded at this point, but when the
circumstance was mentioned to the officers, it
was ttoutly denied.
On Tuesday evening, when the vessel was oft
the Jersey coast, a heavy fog prevailed, and the
fog-signal was sounded regularly at short in
tervals. About midnight the fog cleared away,
and then the passengers who happened to be on
deck at the time noticed that the vessel was
hugging the coast very closely. The heavens
were clear and bl ight, and the shore was there
fore plainly In view. Among tho passengers
were Captain Kelley, of the steamer Montana,
and Captain ratton,of the steamer Idaho, which
were recently on the opposition line between
San Francisco and Portland, Oregon. About 1
o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) morning. Cap
tain Kelley went on deck, und noticing the
proximity of the vessel to the shore, called Cap
tain Behm's attention to the fact, and the dan
ger it involved. Captain Behm replied that
there was no danger, and even ordered the man
at the wheel to steer still closer.
Abont half-past three in the morning the
vessel was near the point known as Dry Inlet,
and live or six miles to the south of Atlantie
City. At this time, according to some of the
passengers who were on deck, the vessel was
steering directly for the light-house at the latter
Jilace, while others assert that her course lay 6c
ween the light-house and the adjacent shore. At a
quarter to four o'clock this foolhardy conduct
on the part of the officers of the ship resulted
In the bow of the vessel striking In the sand.
The keel struck five or six limes before it be
came fixed, and not until the vessel was im
movably fixed was the motion of the wheels
reversed.
The ship then began to bump violently, and
the slumbering passengers were awakened in
the most summary style imaginable. Among
the number were about one hundred ladies,
and several children. With the utmost pre
cipitation, the whole population of the vessel
rushed on deck, where the excitement and
terror were inteuse. Captain Behm, however,
took the matter very coolly, striding up and
down bis deck, with cigar in mouth, and appa
rently but little concerned. All the officers of
the vessel. Indeed, If the passengers are to bo
believed, had lost their wits, and it fell upon
Captain Kelley, of the Montana, to take the
It'was soon apparent that the vessel could
not be released without the assistance of tugs.
Her position was about 210 yards from the
shore at high water, and about IM yards at low
water. But as yet no leak bad been discovered,
and there was no immediate danger. Persons
who are familiar with the coast assert that a
safer place lor running ashore could not have
been selected. About 7 o'clock preparations
were made for landing the passengers. Three
of the surf-boats were launched, as well as a
large India-rubber raft. Captain Kelley
took command of one of the boats, and
was the first to gain the shore. Another
boat load also succeeded In reaching the shore
in safely, and then Captain Kelley started on
Ma epnni irin. About a dozen of the passen-
'ers were in mis uuut, uau ui mom uoiug
'ortica .TiiRt an it reached the breakers, it
was overturned, and the whole party were
nrooinitntori into the ocean. Two of them were
drowned, but the others managed to reach the
shore by clinging to the bottom of the boat. A
rope had been stretched from the stranded ves
sel but at this time it had not neeu drawn
taut, and was of no service. Boon after the oap
sizir g of this boat, a number of the passengers
succeeded in landing by means of the rait; but
on the return of this two of the ship'B men
were washed overboard. Martin McNulty, the
Quartermaster, was drowned, but the other
seaman was enabled to reaoh the shore by cling-

Mansion House, at Atlantic City. The names
oi those who were drowned were as follows:

way to England to secure a legacy of 13,W0

Mrs. Marcella Rlckers. of Louisiana.
Mrs. Eunice 8. Gross, of Indiana.
Mary Louisa Gross, daughter of Mrs. Gross.
Miss Sarah MoAvoy, a young Irish lady, who
has been thirteen years In this oountry, and was
on her way back to Ireland.
Mr. John Smith.
Martin McNulty, Quartermaster of the Ban
dit was reported in the morning papers that
Mr C Gross, the husband of Airs. E. S. Gross,
was among the lost, but we are happy to state
that such is not the case.
The bodies of Mrs. Gross and Mr. Smith had
not been recovered at the latest advices.
An lnauest on the bodies recovered was held
at Atlantic City during the day by the Coroner.
PrIhomas K. Keed, and a verdict of accidental
ilrownlna rendered.
The nassengers made their way up to Atlautlo
Citv as fast as possible, some of them Journey
ing on foot. Wagons were provided for trans
Cortina the women and cuildren. and the
Eeavlei portions of the baggage, all of whloh
was landed fioni the vessel. About 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, half-a-dozen of them
reached this city, and at a quarter of 8 in the
BvenlnK 25 or 80 more arrived, among the
number several ladles. A few also came up to
the citv this morning, but the greater portion
remained I at the different hotels at Atlantic
"tv during the night, and were taken to New
York : to-day on a special train, by way of the
Karltan and Uelaware bay Railroad.
All of the passengers with whom we have
eonverscd are loud In their denunciation or
Captain Behm, and the other officers of the ves
sVi whom they accuse of the grossest oare ess
ness i Several even go so lar as to assert their
belief that the stranding of the vessel was pre-
part or opposition lines. They affect to believe,
aiFO, that the grounding oil' Cape Hat teras was
intentional; and that, having failed to accom
plish his purpose there, Captain Behm made
another and a successful effort to wreck the
veiselon the Jersey coast. We give currency
to tills as the mere srosslpof the passengers,
and it must be taken for what it is worth.
The Santiago de Cuba lies In an easy position,
In about ten feet of water at low tide. Captain
Towni end and his wrecking crew are in charge,
tog th cr with the officers, and it is believed
that as soon as the assistance summoned from
New York arrives, the vessel can be put atloat
without material dumnge to the hull or cargo.
At. 1 o'clock yesterday nfternoon a powerful
steamship of the Coast Wrecking Company left
New York for the scene of the disaster, having
on board nil the necessary appliances. An
agent orthe Company owning the Santiago do
Cuba accompanied this vessel.
At 8 o'clock the steamship Saratoga was also
despatched, with the general agent of the Com
pany on board. At 0 o'clock in the nfternon
further assistance was sent to the disabled
vessel, In the shape of theiSubruarlne Wrecking
Company's steamer Saxon. With all this
assistance, the Santiago tie Cuba will probably
be able to resume her Journey in a day or two.
Description of tlie Santiago de Cuba.
The Santiago de Cuba Is one of the fastest of our
coast steamships. During the war she was
owned by the Government, and did most effec
tive service as a gunboat, under command of
Captain Gllsson, of the regular navy. Among
her iatct exploits was her participation in
tire two attacks on Fort Fisher. After the
first f.ttack she was chosen for her speed
as the despatch boat of Admiral Porto" to
convey to Washington the Intelligence of our
reverse. In the second final attack she received
several proofs of the enemy's skilful markman
ship, one of their shells passing through her
whtelhouso and over the bridge amidships.
She was built In 1801, for Valiente & Co., rates
A1J4, and Is of 1027 tons burden. She Is ill foet
in length, and 88 feet beam, with a depth of
hold of 19 feet deen, and a draught of 15 feet.
Her materials are white oak and haokatack,
with the floors solidly filled in. Her engine has a
66-Inch cylinder, and there are Independent Are
and bilge pumps. She Is brig rigged, and Iron
braced, and has two bulkheads and three decks.
Her hull was built by J. W. Simonson, at the
Greenpolnt yard, aud her maohlnery was put
in by the Neptune Iron Works. Originally
built to run between New York and Santiago
de Cuba, she passed into the Government ser
vice, and after the war was purchased by Mar
shall . Roberts, her present owner, for the ser
vice of the line between New York and Cali
fornia, via Greytown. Relnspected in 180-", she
was altered for passenger trafflo by the addition
of mess houses, a cabin, aud a spar deck.

BY. THESE PRESENTS, GREETING I
To Messrs. George W. illtuit, John A. Kennedy, John
O. Blone. Stephen Hyatt, and thirty others, mem
bers of the Union League Club.
Gentlemen: I was favorod, on the 10th inst.,
by an otliclal note from our over-oourteous
President, John Jay, notifying me that a
requisition had been presented to him for "a
special meeting of the Club, nt an early day,
f r the pnipose of tuklng lulo consideration
the coniluciof Horace Greeley, a member of tho
Club, who has become a bondsman for Jetfi rson
Davis, lulo chief ollieer of the Rebel Govern
ment." Mr. Jay continues:
"As I have reason to believe that the signers, or
some of them, disapprove of the conduct winch they
propose the Club shall consider. It Is cleurly dins both
to the Club and to yourself, tlmt yon should Imvt" tho
opportunity of being heard on tlie snbleet. 1 Ix'i;,
therefore, to nsk on wlrnt evening It will ba conve
nient lor you Unit I call the meeting,'' etc.
In my prompt reply I requested the President
to give you reasonable time for reflection, but
aMtrd him tbut I wanted none; since I should
not attend tho meeting, nor ask any friond to
do so, aud should rnuue no defense, nor oiler
aught in the way of self-vludleatlou. Iiumsuro
my friends In the Club will not construe this as
Implying disrespect; but it Is not my habit to
take part In any discussions which may arise
among other gentlemen as to my fitness to
enjoy their society. That Is their affair alto
gether, and to them I leave It.
The single polut whereon I have any occasion
or wish to address you is your virtual Implica
tion that there is something novel, unexpected,
astounding, in my conduct in the matter sug
gested by you as tlie basis of your action. I
choose not to rest under this absumpilon, but
to prove that yon, boin persons of ordinary
intelligence, must know better. On this point,
I cite you to a scrutiny of the record:
The surrender of General Lee was made
known in this city nt 11 P. M. of Sunday, April
0th, IMS, and lltly announced in the Tribune ot
tho next morning, April 10. On that very day
I wrote, and next morning printed In these
columns, a leader entitled "Muguauluilty In
Triumph," wherein I said:
"We bear men snv, 'Yes, forgive the (rro.'it mass of
those who have been misled Into Jtcbclllon;, but punish
tho leaders us they deserve.' But who c;l accurately
draw the line between lenders and toll-ers In tho
premises T liy what tent shall they be discriminated 7
Where is your touchstone ol'leaUershlp ? We
know of none.
"Nor can we msree with those who would punish the
original plotters of secession, yet spare their ultimate
and scarcely willing converts. On Hie contrary, while
we would rcviva or intlame resentment against none
of them, we leel far lens antipathy to the original up
holders of 'the resolutions of 'us' to tho disciples of
Calhoun and Mcbullie to the Nulllliers of lnil, and
tlie 'State flights' men of ISM than to the John Bells,
Humphrey Marsballs, and (Alexander H. Stephens,
who were schooled In the national faith, und who, in
becoming disuhlnnlu and ltcbels, trampled .on the
professions ot a life-time, anil spurned the logic where
with they hnd so often unanswerably demonstrated
tin t secession was treason. We consider
Jeil'erson Davis this flay a less culpable traitor than
John Bell.
"But we cannot believe It wise or well to take the
lire of any man who shall have submitted to the
national uuthority. The execution of even one such
would ba felt ns personal stigma by every one
who had ever aided the Rebel cause. Each would
Bay to himself. 'I am as culpable as he: we dilTeronly
In that I am deemed of comparatively little conse
quence.' A single Confederate lud out to execution
would be evermore enshrined In a million of hearts
as a conspicuous hero and martyr. Wo cannot realize
that It would be wholesome or safe we are sure it
would not b9 magnanimous to give the overpowered
disloyalty of the South such a shrine. Would the
throne of the House ot Hanover stand more firmly
had Charles Kdwarrl been ciiuuht and executed after
CiillodenT Is Austrian domination In Hungary more
stable to-day for tho banging ot ISagy Handor ami
ins twelve compairiois uiier me nuireuuur oi vu-
lauos r
"We plead against passions certain to be at this
moment tierce and intolerant; but on our sloo are the
ages and tho voice of history. We plead for a resto
ration ot the Union, against a policy which would
atlord a momentary gratification at the cost of years
of perilous hate and bitterness.
"Those who Invoke military execution of the van
quished, or even for their leaders, we suspect will nut
generully ho found among the few who have long
been exposed to unjust odium as balers of the South,
because i hey abhorred slavery, Aud, as to tho long
oppressed and degraded blacks so lately the slaves,
destined still to be the neighbors, aud (we trust) at no
distant day, the fellow-clllzeus of the Southern whites
we are sure that their voice, could it be authentically
uttered, would ring out decidedly, sonorously, on tho
side of clemency of humanity."
On the next day, I had some more In this
spirit, and on the 13tn an elaborate leader, enti
tled "Peace Punishment," in the course of
which I said:
"The New York Timet, doing injustice to its own
sagacity in a characteristic attempt to sail between
wind and water, says: 'Let. us hang Jetl. Havis and
spare tho rest.' We do not concur In the
advice. Davis did not devise nor instigate the Hohel
lion; on the contrary, he was one of the latest aud
most reluctant of the notables of the cotton stales to
renounce definitively the Union. Ills prominence is
purely oillclal aud representative; tho only reason
lor hanging hlin Is that you therein condemn ami
stigmatize more persons tliau In hanging any one
else. There is not an ex-Kebel in the world, no mat
ter how penitent, who will not have unpleasant sen
sations about the neck on the day when theC'oufede
rate President Is to be hung. And to what good end?
"We n.slst that this matter niust not be regarded In
any narrow aspect. We are most anxious to secure
the assent of the South to Kmancipatlon; not that
assent which the condemned glvea to being hung
when he shakes bands with his jailor and thanks him
for past acts of kindness, but that hearty assent
which can only be won by magnanimity. Perhaps
the Kebels, as a body, would have given, even one
year ago, as large und as heavy a vote for hanging
the writer ot this article as any otter man living;
hence, it more especially seems to him important
to prove that the civilization based on free labor is
ot a higher and huiuaner type than that based on
slavery. Wecanuet realize that the gratification to
enure to our trlends from the banging of auv one
man, or fifty men, should he allowed to outweigh this
consideration."
On the following day I wrote again:
"We entreat the President promptly to do
and dare in tbe cause of magnanimity. The Southern
inind is now opeu to kindness, and may be magneti
cally allected by generosity. Let assurance at once
be given tbut there is to be a general amnesty aud no
general couliscatlon. This is none the less the dictate
of wisdom, because it is also the dictate of mercy.
What we ask is, that the 1'iesldeut say In ellect,
Slavery having, through rebellion, committed sui
cide, let the North and the South unite to bury the
curcuss, and then clasp hands across the grave.' "
The evening of that day witnessed that most
appalling calamity, the murder or President
Lincoln, which seemed in an instant to curdle
all tbe mllK of human kindness in twenty mil
lions of American breasts. At once, insidious
efforts were set on foot to turn the fury thus en
gendered against me, because of my pertina
cious advocacy of mercy to the vanquished.
Chancing to enter the club-house the next (Sat
urday) evening, I received a full broadside of
your scowls, ere we listened to a clerical ha
rangue intended to prove that Mr. Lincoln
had been Providentially removed because of
his notorious leanings towards clemency,
in order to make way for a successor who would
five the Kebels a full measure of stern Justice,
was soon made to comprehend that I had no
sympathizers or none who dared soeni such
in vour crowded assemblage. Aud some mal
adroit admirer having, a low days afterwards,
made the Club a present of my portrait, its
bare reception was resisted in a speeoli from
the Chair by your then President a speeoh
whose vigorous Invective was Justified solely
by my pleadings for lenity to the Hobels.
At once, a concerted howl of denunciation
andrugewas sent up from every side against
me by the little creatures whom God, for some
inscrutable purpose, permits to edit u majority
of our minor Jonrnuls, echoed by a yell of
"Htop my paper 1" from thousands of Imper
fectly instructed readers of tlie Tribune. One
impudent puppy wrote me to answer categori
cally whether I was or was not In favor or
hanging Jen". Davis, adding that I must
stop his paper if I .were not I Boores volun
teered assuranoes that I was defying publlo
opinion that most of my readers were against
we an Ui could be induced to write wUut they
wished Bald rather than what they needed to
be told. 1 never before realized so vividly the
I aeness of tbe editorial vooatlon according to
the vulgar conception of it. The din raised
atul my ears now is nothing to that, I then en
dured and despised. I am tin rail later! by the
reflection that it Is (or was) in the power of such
insects to annoy me, even bv pretending to dis
cover with surprlso something that I have for
years been publicly. emphatically proclaiming.
I must hnrry over much that deserves a para
graph to call your attention distinctly to occur
rences In November last. Upon the Repub
licans having, by desperate ell'ort, handsomely
carried our State against a rormidable-looklug
combination of recent and veuomous apostates
with our natural adversaries, a cry arose from
several quarters that I ought to bo chosen
United States .Senator. At once kind, discreet
friends swarmed about me, whispering, "Only
keep still about Universal Amnesty, and your
election Is certain. Just be quiet a few weolcs,
and you can say what you please thereafter.
You have no occasion to speak now." I
f lcpt on the well-meant sucgpstlon, aud dell
bprately concluded that I could not, in Justice
to myself, defer to It. I could not purchase
olflce even by passive, negative dissimulation.
No man should be enabled to say to me, In
truth, "If I had supposed you wou d nerlst In
your rejected, condemned amnesty nobby, I
would not hove given you my vote." yo I
wrote und published, on the 27th of that month,
my manifesto entitled "The True Bases of He
construction," wherein, repelling tho idea that
I proposed a dicker with the ex-Kebols, I ex
plicitly snld:
"I am tor Universal Amnesty so far as Immunity
from fear of punishment or conllscatlon is concerned
even though Impartial Siillrune should, for tho pre
sent, be defeated. 1 did think It desirable that Jeffer
son Davis should be nrruii;ued and tried for treason;
und It still seems to me that this might properly have
been done ninny months ago. But it wits not done
then: and now I believe It would result In lur more
evil than good. It would rekindle pnssloi.s that have
nearly burned out or been bin. lied to sleep: It would
fearfully convulse nnd agitate the South: it would
arrest tbe progress of reconciliation 'and kindly feel
ing there: It would cost a large sum directly and a fur
larger indirectly: and unless thejnry were scanda
lously pai kid It would result In a uon-agreement or
no verdict, I can Imagine no good end to be sub
served by such a trial; and holding Davis neither
better nor worse than several others would navo
him treated as they are."
Is it conceivable that men who can rend, and
who were made aware of this declaration for
most of you were present aud shouted aunroval
of Mr, l' essenden's condemnation ot my views
nt me cinn, two or ttiree evenings tnerearter
can now pretend that my aiding to have Davis
naucu is something novel and unexpected?
Gentlomen, I shall not attend your meeting
this evening. I have an engagement out of
town, and shall keep it. I do not recognize you

sentimentalist, misled by u maudlin phlloso-
Eny. i arraign you as nariow-minueu uioclc
ends, who would like to be useful to a great
and good cause, but don't know how. Your
attempt to base a great, enduring party on the
naie ami wrntu necessarily engendered by a
bloody civil war Is as though you should olaut
a colony on an Iceberg which had somehow
drifted Into a tropical ocean. I toll you hern

going to Richmond and signing that bail-bond

Now York, May 23, lb'67.
Wendell Phillips Opinion of Trcasou
and Straw Ball.
From (he Anti-Slavery Standard.
Mr. Jeil'erson Davis is released. Horace Greeley
fives ball for his reappearance when culled f or. Mr.
lavis has started on bis truvels to return, uo doubr,
whenever the farce of a trial may still further dis
grace the nation.
Unless we are grossly mistaken, there Is a deep,
seated, unappeasable Indlguailon in the hearts of the
people at this act. The inoto.it may not be loud
mouthed, but ull loyal hearts will swell lu secret with
bitter hate which bides its time.
What more could the Government bave done to en
courage anot her treasonable outbreak? What more
to bring law itself Into disgrace to bring, indeed, re-
Euhlican governments lulo disgrace? For, if this
e all republican governments cau do to punish
treason, on how Insecure a tenure we hold peace I If
such be the easy path of traitors, why should nut any
disappointed, bullied party chief thus achieve world
wide notoriety? Surely, as they say iuKngland,
"high treason is one ot the cheapest amusements one
cau now Indulge in."
But there is another side to the medal. Maimed
and wounded men will not thus patiently drag out
bitter years; childless fathers, or, harder still, tlioso
whose sous survived l.iboy prison and Audersonville
in astute more pitiable thuu mere death, will leave
bloody instructions tor those w ho come after them.
If law is thus a sham, the recourse will be to the
Mexican method, aud let rival chiefs shoot each other
alter a drum-bead court martial. If this be all tho
law can do to puuish treason, the next Jcllerson
Davis who attempts to escape will be ruthlessly shot
belore he has time to lilt tils disguise or attain the
safe shelter of a prostituted court. Mr. (ireeley thinks
the lesson tbe people will learn from this ais-
Graceful exhibition will be one of rorglveness. The
awning spaniel is no emblem or teacher of forgive
ness. The survivors In tlie Army ot the Potomac tbe
men who remember Met 'ook, Memphis, Fort Pillow,
and the murders ol Belle Isle wib read this act In a
dillerent aud redder llyht. They w ill resolve to buttle
their own wrongs the next time, and prevent being
cheated by law. When, during the war, soldiers found
that guerillas and other Kebels, their bands dripping
blood, bad only to lake the oath and get Immediate
liberty, they did not learn the Ureeloy Uwson to forgive
murderers; they simply brought In no prisoners So
arrests were reported at headquarters; only rumors
reached it ot men shut In the attempt to bring them
lu. We think our bullied boys iu blue will lay up
some such lesson from this occurrouce iu case they
have another cull to arms.
To beat down law does not always mean that you
Bet up Christianity ; It sometimes makes room for an
archy. Towards that gull Mr. Oreeley calls the na
tion to take the ti ml step, and himself leads the way.
There is such a tiling as l ight aud wrong. Honest
men aud kuavtsare not Identical. The Government
from knavishuess, and Mr. Ureeley trom unthinking
folly tho dupe of catch-words are confusing the
moral sense ot the nation. 'Tis a bad seed sowing,
lieaven grunt we may not have a tearful harvest.
The nation which pardons criminals because it has
not virtue enough to punish them Is on the highway
to ruin: hut the naliou that opens Its prison doors on
tbe pretense that there is little difference between
traitors aud honest uion, has accomplished more thau
half that Journey.
The maimer ol this sad deed Is as significant as the
deed lWelf. (Jrunt, If you will, that such is our form
of government, such the diluculiles of our rposltiou
that we cannot puuish Davis, but must release him,
still be Is a traitor the wretch who sought to crush
the most beuillcient government hi the world de
liberately did what he could to kill Iroedoin, aud
rerpetuate slavery; still lie Is the chief cause why
housuuds are childless arid hundreds of thousands
are orphaDS. He Is tlie man who turned a happy
land luto a field of blood, und made the name of
American hideous with tha murders of Auderson
ville. This murderer of thousands stands covered
with blond. Who. then. Is this that rushes
forward to match that bloody hand and oiler
congratulations? What decent man dares to stand
up clasping bunds, In the lace of the world, with the
bloodiest, most heartless, and selfish villain of the
cfintury? On what absurd pretext does the leader of
I trie aomuiani ami loyai pariy J usury this fraternizing
with crime? If Booth's trial had been long delayed,
pud mliud he had betu biougut face to face with a
Jury, would Mr. Oree'ey have becn'found g:'ap!iig his
murderous hand and ouerlng congratulations?
All tbe reasnns brought forward to excuse this
rational Infamy are hollow shams. Those who oiler
them do not In their hearts believe Davis criminal.
This Is the saddest feature of the hour a nation
wtiese moral sens slavery has so poisoned that it no
lunger discriminates between rlcht nnd wrong. We
have, so tar as mere law goes, abolished slavery; but
generations must jibss away belore we get rid of It
poison. Half a million murders committed In Its
beliair only make thrt murderer worthy of an
ovation. Of Mr. Greeley's part In this melancholy
farce, we want words to express our opinion.
Horrow masters Indignation. Jin has done many
things to try tho patience of his friends: but we
think nothing bus proved so conclusively tils entire
lack of judgment and common snse, his fitter In
ability to comprehend theepoch thestrnggle through
which the nation hit passed, orthe slate In wh ch It
start's. Generally obtuse In his moral sensn. we con
fess wp tire obliged to lieilevo lit in more lacking In
the power to discriminate between right ami wrong
than we had fnnclPd. In order to preserve our faith
In his honesty of Intention. If his friends can make
out his claims to average intelligence in political
matters, then Is he responsible for an amount of
guilt In this ellort vain, we trust to mislead and
confuse the nation, which all his well-meant elTorts
In times past can hardly outweigh.

GEN. BUTLER DEFENDS HIMSELF.
HIS ACCOrST OP TUIS DESEUTKRS, AND WHY TtlEY
DID NOT VOTE ABOUT IKlOTIl's PIARY ORWIX
OF TUB rilRASE "BOTTLED CP."
liobTON, May 21. I mot General llutler
this morning, and had a long talk with him on
national alluirs. He Is as "full of fight and fun"
as ever, nnd not a bit Inclined to throw up tho
sponge In any of the span lugs he Is carrying on
With ills political opponents.
He Is attending to his law business, nnd will
probably not make any public speeches this
summer, although he lias received ne rly four
liuLdred lnvllations to lecture, from nil parts of
tho country.
The t-tatement In the New York Jlcmhl, that
ho has been corresponding with Mlsi Surrutt
in the matter of tho trial of her brother, la not
correct; although, Judglni; from his theory of a
lawyer's duty, I do not suppose that lie would
decline to appear as t he counsel for the pri
soner, This, however, even If authentic (to
use Orpheus C. Kerr's nice distinction), Is not
oillclal.
In the course of our conversation he referred
to a paragraph in tlie Boston Traveller, in Mr,
Ilazeweli's "Hevicw of the Week," aud said
that, as it related to publlo alt'uirs, he was
writing a reply to It. At his room I obtained a
copy of it, which you can thus publish simul
taneously with the Journal to which it is
addressed,
litre it is:
"Boston, Mny 21, 1807. To the Editor of the
Trareller:! clip from your paper of the luth:
"Two of the big guns of tho impeachment taction
have bePn completely spiked. It has been proved
belore .the Judiciary I'ninmlttec of the United 8tates
HouHeof Itepresentutlves, tbut the story which was
Beta-going by Generul ISuiler, that President John
Son corruptly pardoned oao hundred aud ninety
three deserter, bus not one word oi truth In It, anil
that the story that eighteen paires had been taken
from Hooth's diary is also au Invention. General
lluller must be more care. ul, or he'll get "bottled up"
aguiu.'
"Making It a rulo never to answer a personal
newspaper slander unless it concerns some
public Interest, it is generally a safe business
cither to misrepresent my actions or misinter
pret my motive.
"To meet fale statements of proofs In a gravo
public accusation, I 'break a custom.'
"As no word of the evidence before the Judlr
ciary Committee has been allowed to be pub
lished, how could the editor of the Traveller
know the statement to be true that 'it has been
proved before the Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives that the story which
was sot',11 -going by General Butler, that President
Johnson corruptly pardoned one hundred and
ninety-three deserters, has not one word or
truth in it?'
"On the contrary, It has been put in evldenco
to the committee that President Johnson, at
the solicitation or Tom Floience, editor of a
Itcbel sheet In Washington, on the 21d of
Ocloner, two days before the election in West
ern Virginia, from a letter of the Democratic
candidate for Congress to the President, that
they would vote tlie ticket, and without any
other evidence or their deserving than a letter
cf a claim agent (who was to have half of their
forfeited buck pay au. 1 bounties for getting tbe
partlou), did pardon unconditionally, with
restoration ot all pay and allowance forfeited
by desertion, one hundred and ninety-three
men who stood on tlie rolls of their rcgimeula
marked as 'deserters,' and some of them
chaigedwilh deserting to tbe enemy. It was
alfo proved thnt the claim agent who expected
to make thirty thousand dollars out of the Job,
paid Florence one thousand dollars for his share
ot tro piusuer.
"I know that such testimony was given, be
cause I have a sworn aliidavltor the fact mado
before the witness went before the committee,
and I have sure means of knowiug that tho
same facts we) there testified.
"It is true that the War Department order
restoring these men is not dated till the 25th of
November thirty days after election; but tlie
President's order was dated before election, and
tbe Department took thirty days to Investitive
the case of one mnn of the one hundred and
ninety-three, who was proved to have deserted
to the memy, aud then obeyed tho Executive
order as to tho one hundred and ninety-two. So
that no thanks are due Mr. Johnson that all
these deserters were not restored before the
elections, as he had ordered to be done without
Investigation before t bo election; thereby taking
$75,000 trom the fund appropriated to the dis
abled soldiers and giving it to these deserters
and claim agents.
"I hese faois no truthful person has contra
dict! d anywhere.
"Again: let me examine the assertion tlmt
" 'The story that eighteen pages hnd been taken
from hooth's diary Is also un invention.'
"Booth's diary bus been before the Com
mittee, and eltiliteen pages nro carefully out
out, being the pages down to the very day of
the assassination.
"The only question I raised was When and
by whom wero these leaves cut out?
"Booth, while huuted for his life through
swamps and byways, after tbe assassination,
would hardly have leisure for such amusement;
besides, on horseback, with one leg broken, It
might be dlflicult to get a ruler of straight edge
by which to trim tbe leaves us nicely us it is
done.
"Everything taken from Booth's person was
put in evidence ou the trial of Mrs. .Surratt
even to a bill of exchange taken out of this same
diary except this diary Itself and the valuable
diamond pin which he wore.
"These alone were kept b.tck.
"Why cannot eighteen leaves or the diary
and tlie pin now be found? Until those having
had custody of tbe articles taken from the body
can account for all of them, linust be excused
from believing the testimony that the articles
are all now in the same condition as when
lound.
"If tbe witness can be found who has got the
fln, perhaps he can tell us who has the miss
n g li avtH.
"Upon tbe whole, do you really think that
the missing leaves are an invention ?
"As my band Is in, perhaps It will be well to
look up tbe origin or the phrase which uuin
venilve persons have appropriated to tnem
feelves. "Your article says:
" 'General Butler must be more careful, or he'll get
"bottled up" uguin.'
"True, he mny be in the same way as before.
"In May. 1801, when operating against Rich
mond and Petersburg, General liutlor received
orders from General Grant to send away all
the troops be could with safety spare to rein
force tho Army of the Potomac on the Penin
sula then about to fight the battle of Cold
Harbor.
'In obedience thereto General Butler sent
General Grant seventeen thousaud ploked men
or the twenty-five thousand elt'ectlve men, in
cluding blsck troops, then under General But
ler's command. Whereupon, General Butler
complained that the necessities or the Army or
the Potomao had 'bottled him up in Bermuda
Hundred.'
"Tbut complaint was repeated about his head
quarters, and in the very words will be round
to have been published In the correspondence
from thenoeor the New York Timesol that dale.
"Kighteen months afterward General Grant
Incorporated tbe words In a grave otliclal re
port, without giving, as I bave done, the reason
for their pertinency; and the phrase thus used
by him was deemed a scintillation of genius.
"The inventor did not think as highly or his
own production; however, even a borrowed
l rushlight shines widely in a thick mist.
"Itcnnectiully, your obedient servant,
CHILD REX'S FANCY DRESS BALL
IN PARIS.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Jturald gives the following account of a
children's party lately given at tbe Louvre
Palace:
"Nothing is moro delicious and refreshing
than a children's ball, when tlie dancers re
main what they are children. Hut nowaday
children have vanished. From six months to
five years okl;one deigns to be a child; but aa
soon as five years have struck, children are)
only pedants and old men. Young gentlemen
not yet In their teens, but alarmlugly foppish,
scorn their sisters, and scold their mammas
when they do not pronounce Kngliah perfectly
well; prtitcs maitrtsncs, five years old at tho
most, wear a lace mantilla, tie a soupron of
bonnet with the experienced hand of a coquett?;
criticize this, aud blame that, with the Immo
vable nature of a veteran Journalist. Verily,
there Bre no more children, they are only mini
ature old people. At Furls, instead of 'grave aa
a Judge,' they say now, 'grave as a school-boy;'
In place or 'mujestio as a queen,' they say
'majestic as a young miss at a boarding
school.' Tbe children in Paris are now so
serious that you would hesitate to offer them
sweet things.
"Let us photograph the raney Juvenile party
above alluded to, and given on Tuesday last la
tlie Cnnlninconrl wing or the Louvre Palace,
which wing is the residence or the said General
Fltury, lim ald-de-cunip and great eiiuorry of
his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III. Tha
Idea of that ball, the splendor of which Is with
out precedent In thenuimlsol infancy, had been
liiFpired by a true courtier fueling. The youth
ful Prince Imperial was to have been the hero
of it, and it lias been postponed from carnival
till now lu the hope thnt the Prince would hava
completely recovered from his severe Indispo
sition, But 'man proposes and God disoosea,'
and our Juvenile party was deprived of its Im
perial attraction, owing to the slow convales
cence of the boy.
"M. le General nnd Madame la General
Fleury assisted their two children In doing
honor to the guests. Madnmo la General, stand
ing at the right of the salon's entrance, kissed
every comer on the right cheek; the General,
posted on the left, had reserved to himself the
lcitone.
"The invited came In proud, grave, stiff, and
collected; evidently they had identified them
selves with the quality that their coats or their
pourpoinln had imparted tothcia for an evening.
une siurooieu on ins rapier, anoiiier entnngieu
his spurs in a hanging. As to the misses, they
were completely at home under their Queries;
nnd, as to their flirting well. Frenchmen say
that tlirlatlon Is to fair ladies what valor is to
heroes, both aro Innate.
"But to the guests. Among the creme de la
crane were tho Lad Ies Hopliin aud Pasquallne
de Mclternlch, tlie first dressed nsa vivandiert
of Turcos, the other as a oocodelto of the day.
Mad'lle Sophie, tlie sutler, made many cou
que&ts by her desinvoltnrc; her sister killed
many cocodes by her gr.icious way of making
her long train whirl about, by her weeplng
wlilow attitudes, by iier dexterity la manipu
lating her microscoplo tan.
"The stars of less magnitude were Mad'lle
d'Albulera, metamorphosed into a white puss;
Vandal into a letter-carrier, Marie de Verdiere
Into a bus&ur, Janvier de la Molhe into Diana
the huntress, Dolfus lulo au Irish bride. De
Herkelm Into a gipsy, Boltelle Into Margfieritta,'
Kspinasse Into a shepherdess, Nunez into the
materunl diamond casket worth forty thousand
pounds, etc.
"As to the cavaliers, there were the young
Prince Murat as harlequin; Godfrey de In Tour
d'Auvergue ns a Castilian muleteer; Louis Con
neau as a page: Gaston de Fre.ales as a torea
dor; Pierre de Bourgoing as a hussar or the Hrst
republic, etc
"The musicians wore pink dominos.
"Artcr several hours or danolng, polkalng,
galloping, and cotllllonlug. there was an inter
lude, during which the real Fan fan Bonollon,
the baby of the 'cts Family, who kuows how to
Jdck his father's patent-lock chest at the groat
ubllatlon of tlie clever financier, recited a
povhade quite above his understanding, albeit
with so much enrain and intellect tliut he was
encored.
"Master V was so much enraptured wltb.
Fnnlnn that he rau a galop echevele with him.
Funfnn, eight years old, is the son of an actor,
and played some two hundred limes in tho
Mcnoiton Family. Master V , two years
younger, knew that so well that he said to hla
friends, 'Do not tell that I have danoed wltb.
Fanfan Benoiton; mamma forbids me to mix
With actresses."
"Ho much for the Juvenile fancy ball of the
General and Madume la General Fleury. One
of her guests pushed the politeness so far as to
call her 'Madame la Grande Ecnyere.' 'Uoni
soil qui mal y pense;' for when the urchin was
asked why he did so, he replied with placidity;
'Why, we say, Madame la Marechale, Madame
l'Ambassadilce, and I thought that .'
'Enough,' said his mamma abruptly, and she
thought 'tbut child of mine promises to be one
of tlie enans teiribles elavarnl excelled to
sketch.' "
