A gentleman just from Washington in
forms an exchange that a cruel joke was
perpetrated on Beast Butler and his family,
the other d*y. While the carriage of this
notorious old thief aud scoundrel was stand
ing in front of a gentleman’s residence,
(Mrs. and Miss Butler having gone in to
make a call), some person stealthily ap
proached and tacked a pewter spoon to one
of the panels of the vehicle. It was unob
served by the driver, and the carriage was
driven for several hoars, and into nearly
every port of the city, displaying an ensign
armorial singularly characteristic, but so
mortifying to the family that the ladies have
not been in public since.
The only incredible part of the story is
that a daughter of the Beast should be pos
sessed of so much sensibility. She certainly
did not inherit it from her father.
Afraid to Trust Them.—There is a
movement among the leading members of the
Badical party which looks to a postpone
ment of the entire qnestioa of Southern rep
resentation in Congress until next winter. A
correspondent of the Boston Herald says :
“This movement has created a teeling akin
to consternation among the Senators and
members elect from the Southern States who
are here clamoring at the doors of either
House for seats upon the floor. One of the
reasons alleged for the sudden change of
base—indeed the most potent reason—is the
fear that some of the Southern States—those
that have the largest electoral vote—are
likely to cast those votes for the Democratic
presidential ticket. Georgia, Alabama, Ar-
• kansas and Virginia are specially named,
and are likely to be kept out from this fear.”
Colonel St. Leger Grenfell.—The es
cape of this dashing Englishman from the
Dry Tortughfl was annonnoed some weeks
since, and it was supposed he had perished
at sea. The Mobile Register states that his
voyage was made in safety, and that a letter
had been received from him in Havana,
sending his thanks and acknowledgements
for hind treatment to some of the army offi
cers at Tortugas, and stating that he was
just about to s&IHor old England.
Yet More Arrests in Columbus.—Yester

At the municipal election in Washington,
held on Monday last, the same villainous
system of fraud was practiced, hut with
rather more circumspeoiion. At the close of
the balloting the success of the Democratic
candidate for Mayor was bo manifest that it
was conceded by the Radicals themselves,
and even Forney m his ‘‘occasional” to his
paper in Philadelphia, writ.en on Monday
night, acknowledges the election of Mr.
Given over the Radical candidate Bowen,
attributing the defeat of his party to the “re-
turned rebels.” Ia his letter he says
The loss ofthe Rspublicansef Washing
ton City to-day was simply a victory of the
returned rebels, who have swarmed! back
to their old haunts and who held many of
the most reliable offices in the govern
ment. * *
The Republicans of Washington had to
fight the battle to-day under most adverse
circumstances. They were opposed by a
perfect army of relumed rebels, by the whis
key ring, by a nnmber of the < ffleers and
men ot me regular army stationed here, and
by the inconceivable prejudice of the Irish
against the colored race. The acquittal of
iho Great Usurper operated heavily against
them, and did much to infuriate tueir ene
mies. That they should have polled so
large a vote iu me face of such tremendous
odds is almost a victory in itself, and shows
that they only needed a fair chance to ob
tain complete control of the city. The com
bined enemy made an open fight against
Grant and Collax. They pretended to no
lespeut for the man who saved the Capital
from rain.
But while Forney was writing his dolorous
letter to the Press, one of his “two papers,
both daily,’’and the Democrats were celebra
ting their fairly achieved victory, his friends
had possession ot the baliot boxes, one of
which was kept ia his Chronicle office all
night, daring which time the ballots in it
grew to forty-five votes more for Bowen
than bad been announced on the previDUB
evening. A similar appreciation of the Rad
ical vote occurring iu the other boxes during
tbe night, the people were astounded to hea r
it announced in tbe morning that the Radical
candidate Wnose defeat had been con
ceded, was elected by eighty-three ma
jority. Forney, whose letter announcing
Bowen's defeat had gone to his paper in Phil-
adelphia,must have been as much surprised &s
gratified at the skillful countiogjof the Radi
cal managers, by which a reverse had been
turned into a victory.
The negroes, who voted almost to a man
with the Radicals, were so elated with their
mccess, that nothing but the most extrava
gant demonstratipns could give expression
to their patriotic joy. An immense torch
light procession followed on Tuesday night.
Tbe Chronicle office was illuminated—bands
of music, romau caudles, sky rockets and
tire crackers were brought into requisition,
aud the Dead Dock harangued the negro
rabble until be} wrought them up
to such a pitch of enthusiasm, that it was
with difficulty tho peace of the city was pre
served by the military and police.
It was indeed a proud day for the Jaco
bins, when for the first time the Capital of
the nation was by base fraud sutjectcd to
negro rule.
Such fraud, corruption and self-abasement
must in due time work its own cure.

Fine Sample of Irish Potatoes from
Scriven County.—We yesterday received by
the courtesy of the Southern Express, a bag of
the finest Irish potatoes we have seen this sea
son, accompanied by the following note from
one of our esteemed subscribers:
Scriven County, June 3, 1868.
Editors News and Herald :
Out upon the lonely, hills of Scriven county,
we anxiously look for those days when we may
learn through your columns, what the world is
doing. Our county went Radical, but we are
all quiet, and every one attentive to his own
interest. Freedmen working well, and crops
promising. We had a heavy full of hail on
Friday last, which riddled the corn consider
ably, but being so young, will not be injured.
I send you by express a small bundle, that you
may know what the old hills of Scriven can
do. They were cultivated near station No. 5},
Central Rail Road, on a plantation owned by
Mr. J. L. Hardee, of the firm 1 of Messrs. Har
dee’s Son A Co., with whom I am associated.
Very respectfully,
L. M. Cassels.
The Chief Jnatice aaya he.ii moat grateful
for the expressions or reipect and confi
dence manifested by the people in »W“S
bim for the Presidency, that he doee not
seek it and is not a candidatefor that place,
bat that it was a matter which
lirely in the bands oi hm friends:‘Taregard
to his owu positiun he. raid sa parties are
now constituted he frankly adtnuted he
lor tbe Democratic party. He differed with
the Democracy on one point only—thM
of universal manhood suffrage. Ho
with them on all other greet issqos;
could not accept auy nom-nation whidh
would involve a aacxiftoe of his honest coh-
vicious. And if he were nominsted and
elected by tbe Democratic party for would
faithfully carry out their policy and endeavor
to make it one of permanent usefulness
upon the broad ground of nationality and
material progress.
Tne Caief Justice is in favor of enfran
chising every white- mau in the South, and
removing all political disabilities from every
man in the nation. He thinks free
dom aDd manhood suffrage should be
questioned right, aud He controverts the
idea that it eau be established by any other
power than the States themselves* He h ildf
that there is no power in the general Gov
ernment to control suffrage, but that it rests
alone in the Slates, where it should mide.
Mr. Chasm expresses the utmost solicitude
over the condition of the unfortunate people
of the Bontb, and Uiiqkf IJitir srtngtijn de
mands the aid of the getferat Government.
He is in favor of prompt and early relief by
affording that section material aid for the
development of their great resources. Thht
their railroad ?yste» m*y be Jofltered, and
their rivers improved. He is in favor of
furnishing aid to repair the broke© levees,
and build new ones oo the Mississippi, from
Cairo to the Gulf.it it, k? necessaiy. He
urges that the many million* of acres ot
laud which would be reclaimed by a pipper
system of levees, would trebie tfie produ
cing power of that section* and add corres
(.oudiugly to the wealth and prosperity of
the country.
Mr. Chase if strongly in favor of an early
return to specie payments. He believes it
could be done without injury to any inter
6dt8, and in a comparatiyt4y snortjperioJ, by
a judicious financial po|icy r a*£jf yopld
be a matter of little moment whether bonds
were paid io greenbacks or gold* f# public
credit would t>e so AftnJy republished
greenbacks would be at par.
The political disabilities imposed on the
Southern people by the fourUenlh amend
ment the Cniet Justice hold* to he unwise and
unjust. But as those Btates, with their
present cm9tituiiou8, will ratify that amend
ment, thus making it a part of the constitu
tion, he proposes as a mode not only of relief
but as an act of justice *ad political wisdom,
tending towards harmonizing tfie peoples of
the two sections, to proclaim a general am
nesty. This he +hinka not only just aod wise
but necessary as the provisions of tbs amend
ment exclude many thousands from bolding
office, and this must necessarily lead to com
plications that should be avoided.
The Chief Justice expresses the hope that
the President, in tbn waul of re-organizing
his Cabinet, will select a proper proportion
of it irom the South.
He deprecates the course of Congress, and
especially oi the House of Representatives.
He regards their assaults on the Judiciary
and their arbitrary and arrogant assumption
of powers as dangeions and forecasting
troubles in the future if not checked.
Mr. Chase strongly condemns the trial of
citizens by the military commissions, and
declares they should not be tolerated.
These statements, I repeat, are .derived
from an authentic source, and as sneb are
entitled to grave ccnaideration. The Domi
nation of Hr. Chase by the Democratic con-
veniiuu is t-trougly urged by many leading
Democrats, and even Mr. geymour, of New
York, has declared the proposition is en
titled to serious weight by tue convention.
Such an event certainly does seem moat im
probable, but its consideration demonstrates
that Democrats, Conservatives, and all tH>
eleaunts opposed to Radical role are willing
and determined to meet on common ground
and act concerts Jly to crash the monster,
Radicalism.
The Senate to-day passed the Arkftasas
bill with amendments, which will neces
sarily carry it back to thj House. It
wiil be “put through” (that is a latter day
parliamentary pbra&) by that interesting
body.
Toe course of the President ii uncertain,
but whether be vetoes it or not tho bill will
become a law. Walk in to the Benate
Messrs. “Carpet-Baggers.” Whose torn
comes next ? Some of ibe Rads, swear they
wiil stop at Arkansas for the present, as in
the eveLt of Chase’s nomination bo would
be certain to carry the Southern States. Bo
your people may not be honored (God aave
tbe mark) by a representative in the Benate
and Congress before tbe coming year.
The friends ot tbe President declare Gen.
Schofitld is in accord with his Southern
policy; but as Gin. Grant is much tickled
at Schofield’s promotion, croakers are in
clined to the belief that “there’s cheating
around the board.” There is no doubt,
however, that Gen. Stonemao, who suc
ceeds to the command of tbe Department of
Virginia, is a Conservative, and will at least
allow no trickery in tbe eleciion. That much
ut least is gained.
The course of tbe Butler Bingham Com
mittee on tbe corruption investigation has
made a breach in taeir party. Poland, of
Vermont, one of its most respectable mem
bers, referring to some of Butler’s capricious
actions tbe other day, said “it was a pitiful
business for the House to be engaged in.”
