New York, January 13—Your

Gen Butler this morning, at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, and the General final

few Butlciian ideas. The General

iu punishing nullification. It is said
that this combination is going to be
a widespread one. The extent of the
conspiracy is only a reason for the
swifter punishment of it, and the
more energetic measures to break it
down. For these reasons, I can see
nothing more unwise than the re

Congress chartered, Congress can un-

would be a duty of Congress to take
away the charter of any bank or
banks that enter into any combination
to nullify the laws of Congress. If,
as is admitted, there is an absolute
majority in both Houses iu favoT of
a silver currency, and as it is also
admitted, the Constitution has placed
within the jurisdiction of the two
Houses
“ THE RIGHT TO COIN MONEY
“And regulate the value thereof,
then that majority, acting within its
constitutional power, will not permit
any' set of men for their own love of
gain to nullify that or any other law
of Congress. It will be remembered
that in the contest with the United
States Bank, the President and the
House of Representntivcs were alone
in accord, the Senate being against
them. Now, on the silver question,
the majority of both Houses are in
accord, and the President is where he
will find himself to be when the ques
tion comes before him —where that
is, I do not know.

Republican circles in reganl to the
memorial of Judge Blair now before
the Maryland Legislature. It is as
serted with much confidence that Mr.
Tilden had something to do with
inspiring the presentation of the
memorial, and that the introduction
of the memorial in the Maryland
Legislature will bo followed by the
offering of a similar paper in all the
other States where there are Demo
cratic Legislatures. It is said fur
ther , that David Dudley Field and
other prominent friends ot Mr.
Tilden were cognizant of Judge Blair’s
purpose, and saw a copy ot his memo
rial before it wrs introduced. It is
said that tile programme is to have
bronght, forward in the Senate or the
House Mi . Fields'bill providing* for
ilie institution of q\id Warranter pro
ceedings to test Mr. Haye’s right to
the Presidency'.
So far from these* proceedings tak
ing up all of the remaining period of
Mr. Haye’s term, it is asserted that

country have never failed to feel
keeely the wrong which has beeu in
flicted upon them ; that they demand
redress, and will have it whenever
the opportunity come-, and that their
representatives will have to he forced
up to the position which the people
have taken in advance of them.
Judge Blair also indicated that, no
matter xvhai others may do, 5: is own
convictions will not permit him to
relqnt in his denunciation of the wrong
by which the people were deprived
of their choice, nor in the effort to
right that wrong. Judge Blair’s
statement, as made al»ove, seems lo
dispiose of the statement made by the
New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, of his having a
personal understanding with Mr
Tilden. In fact your correspondent
understood Mr. Blair in the conver
sation of yesferday, after his remark
that he had not seen Mr. Tilden for
months, to add that he had not re

Nothing of all this, however, can

white satin bows; a second in pale

enough Republican support to carry

New- affirms that there are numbers
of men in this comity, who have paid
their taxes, as required by law, punc

where they have lived from five to
twenty years, levied on, and offered
for sale, for non payment of taxes,
and they know not what to do, and
many of them are unable to procure
legal advice. Many thinks it is about
time these “ wild land ” sales were
stopped, and would be pleased if
Governor Colquitt would so order.

idency in sixty days without cotnmo
tiou and solely through the instru
mentality of the law, a majority of
the Democratic members of Congress
would prefer that Mr. Hayes should
stay in, and a majority of the Repub
lican members would prefer that lie
should go out and Mr. Tilden come
in. The sagacious Democrats believe
that in the one event their chances
tor 1880 would be so much better,
and the Republicans have the same
opinion as to their chances in the
other, and in addition they have
that personal antipathy which would
be pleased by the humiliation of a
President who, they say, has done
nothing for them. Judge Blair was
here yesterday arguing a case before
the Supreme Court. In conversation
with your correspondent on the sub
ject of his memorial he said that,
while it bad been shown to several
gentleman before being offered, he
had determined to present it of his
own volition, and without consulta
tion or suggestion from any one. He
said that he bad not seen Mr. Tilden
for months. He considered that he
had done his duty to the people of
the country, who elected Mr. Tilden’
and the responsibility now rested
with the Legislature of Maryland, and
not with him.
Judge Blair said that iu hb belief
the people throughout the whole
hisself no’ guilty, but he is. Why,
mon, that stove was hot a rod het,
an’ he took the lid oft' an’ pvt the
child’s fut to the fire.” Mr. Stewart
sued for five thousand dollar damages,
lie said that judgement by default
had been taken against Dr. Duntou.
Dr. Duntou laughed in a ball-
amused way, and said that he did not
hold the almost lifeless body near the
stove to get a little warmth into it
thirty-six hours after he was told
that its feet were burned. The child
subsequently lost its toes, but more
in consequence of the treatment of
some woman employed by Stewan,
than in consequence of the burning.
The babe died of a combination of
ordinary complaints. Far from hav
ing caused the babe’s death, it was
he who had enabled it to live as long
as it did. The suit for damages is t»
be tried before Sheriff Reilly to-day.
