Butler and Eobert B. Lee. Botler Is atni in the array, Stanton having declined to accept hie resignation. It ia ng- gested that there U some artlculalr dirty work to bti done, and the pure and spotless Benjamin is reserved for it. The trial and haneine of Jeff. Davis is believed to be one of the duties marked oat for him. In his late speech at Lowell, Butler took the ground that General Lee should also be tried and executed, he being responsible for the ill-treatment of our prisoners at Anders onrille. In Ihte speetih he. said: - ." Who in all the world, philanthropist or politician, editor or historian, soldier or civil-an has sent up, or will send up, a petition, that tbe keepers of the murder-pens, Libby, Belle Isle, Millen and Anderson ville, shall be par- doncdr 1 he undriel tears of the sister of ev ery massacred soldier uemands their execution. The forlorn "Woe of each lonely widow cries for it Heaven's justice, the talent ago ny of every bereaved mother mutely pleads that her son's murderer shall not blast her sight in life.-: All nature and nature's God, by His holy : law, has decreed that the brother's murderer shalfnot live. Who then shall stay the hand ofjnstice?. Who shall stand bet ween these men and the penalty of the law? There id none not one." ' ' ; This sudden exploeTon of sympathy and in: dignation on the part of Butler, at the inhumanity exercised townrd our prisoners, recalls to mind that he was in part, responsible for their continued iJl treatment. He mentioned in his famous Lowell speech, made last win ter, that he had some hand in preventing the exchange of prisoners who were starved to death in the South. lie stated that the rebels were anxious to exchange, and would have done so if it had not been our policy to keep all the rebels we captured. He said: 'In Aueust last. Mr. Oul J. finding nezotia lions were broken off. and that no exchanges were made, wrote to General Hitchcock, the Commissioner at Washington, that the rebels were ready to exchange, man for man, all the prisoners help by ihetn, as I had proposed in December. Under the instructions of the Lieutenant General, I wrote to Mr. Ould a letter, which has been published, saying: "Do you mean to give up all your action and re voke all your laws about black men employed s eoldiere? - These questions were therein argued justly, n6 I think, not diplomatically, butobMrusively and demonstratively, not for the purpose of farthering an exchange of pris oners, but lor the purpose or preventing and stopping the exchange, and furnishing a ground on which we could fairly stand."

V ; tr"e extract the following from a Virginja letter, which gives the conversation between a planter and the writer : . " - He went on to say that for a time his high admiration for the character of General Lee had sensibly declined. He had been told that the General had made application to the w ash-ington authorities for pardon. He had supposed that rather do that the General would undergo exile or death. ; Not long afterward an opportunity had presented itself for speaking to General Lee on the subject. The report proved to be correct and not a slander. A voluminous application had been sent in, to which; however, no ans wer has yet been made. Since the time of his visit, a reply may have been received. Having learned the motives which had actuated General Lee in asking for a pardon, his admiration, his veneration, for the man and the patriot, was profounder than ever. Had the General considered his own leeiings aione, pe would nave died sooner than humble himself and a just 'cause by a seeming admission that it was wrong, His application was one more proof of his Toys for his country. ; There were thousands of hlghr toned young men in the South who meditated expatriating themselves, and who, when asked. why t hey did not seek for a pardon, replied, that until General Lee had done so they would nott AAer a long struggle with his inclina tions, believing that these young men ought to be saved to the country whose future they were so wen quaunea to aaorn, and, oy participating in the rights of citizenship, to guide and shape, the Geuefal had; done 'violence " to his own feelinga, and made the request. ' Still he bad made no. abject submission but had accompaniea me petition ior - paraon - witn a full statement of those things which made his past conduct seem to him, right and - proper tnd,had avowed" hls unchanged devotion to his former principles.''

Witchenv who keeps a store at the corner of" Ann and : Elizabeth, streets, was af flicted with a similar Visitation about 8 o'clock on Saturday evening. A squad of colored soldiers came into bis store, ostensibly for tbe pur pose of purchasing cigars. Upon banding a bunch of cigars for their, inspection, they were snatched from the clerk, while' a pistol was presented at the breast of Mr. Whchen, and a donation of a dollar requested i a the delicate terms of the. highway. Before compliance could be made with h is moderate demaud, the money drawer and contents were extracted, and the whole party retired.

The Rochester democrat (Ren.i exolaina bow the late President Lincoln was able to save $50,000 from his salary. It says : , "That the trouble with a new Presiden of reasonably frugal habits is not how to save his salary, but how to spend. - In the first place he has norei.t to pay. Uongress furnishes the White House from garret to cellar; and pro vides all that is needed in kitchen and pantry, as well. as in parlor. He has no Wages to pay. Congress pays his servants, from private Secretary to boot black and scullion. it also provides him with fuel and lights, and pays the expenses Of his stables. It provides biro with a garden and & corpe. of gard eners, who ought to see that he pays nothing for vegetables or flowers. In short of the or pin ary expenses of housekeeping, the only bills the President is called upun to pay are the butcher's aad the wine merchant's. Even the h?er has nol fallen upon the regent occupants of tbe Whiter House,; whose cellars have been kept well stocked with presents of wines and liquors.-"' . - '- - . :- - when these items are deducted, and when It is considered, that it is hbt etiquette in Waahineton to call upon the President for con tributions to ordinary charities, it can be easi ly understood bow Mr. Lincoln, could lay np one half or more of his salary. And this economy will'be more comprehensible if the fact be as universally asserted and credited in Washington, that the expenses of the parties and State dinners -occasionally given by the President were at Mre.. Lincoln's request, paid for out of Governmeni funds. All this waa diff erent under former admietrationa." , :' As the Democrat is eouBd in ita Republican' itm and supported Jlr., Lincoln and moreover is owned by tbe ex-Postnlaster of tbe last Con gress but bne,''strong Republican House too, we shall believe the facts as they are stated.
