Smith, ex-Appolntment-Clark ot the Treasury, was upon the stand tha entirc day, and was further subjected to the angry and often brutal methods of cross-examination for which Ben Butler as a criminal lawyer has gained & roputa- tion. But Butler did not have cverything his own way. To the amusement of the sudience, Qen. 8mith often repatd bim {o his own cofn, and was skillful onough to parry Gen, Butler's attacks. Judge Cox charged Butler with act- ing as o prosecutor and wuot as @ Judee, and with conducting bis fnvestigation in the monner of a flerco and datermined prose- cutfon. To this Butler replied that ho was the peer of everrbody; that he would accept the imputation of {nferiority from nobody, and that bovw long he might - remaln upon tha defensive 18 regards Gen.

NotwitlstandIng .o° persistent cross-cxamination on the .part Of o crimioal Inwyer bent on laylug ti oundation for ‘an fmpeachment of the President, Dutler’s fahing expedition vroved unsuccessful. No knowledge of Anderson's raseality was brought homo to the Prestdent by tho very persun—the Appoint- mont-Clerk—who had a’ confidentfal interview witn tho President with rolation to Anderson. Ou the contrary, when Bmith called the atten- tlon of the Prosident to the fact that Anderson clalmed to have had an agrecment with Mat- thews for on umportant place, tho Prealdeat distinctly and cmphatically disclaimed any knowledge of any such agreement, and uncon- ditlonally refused to give Anderson anything wmore thun an unimportaut place. In fact, sald Gen, Bmith, the Presideat showod A DRCIDED AVERSION TO AUPOINTING ANDER- BON TO ANY TLACH. ' Butler was equally unsuccessful {n connecting Becretary Sherman with Anderson through Gen. Bmtth. It Anderson bad had the pretended Bherman letter, and had bad & strong bold upon tho Becrotary of the Treasury, which such’ lot- ter would have given lum, it would have been easy for Anderson to havatold the Appoint- ment-Clerk reasons why he sbould receivs an I~ s e con. 1 do Waahilngtan, May 24, 1878, ~Sealed propossia, lnitorse Tro Toor, liacon, Flowr, Qlothing. . dgn, Uutler (poluting to Judge Shellabargor, Lok AR IR uu;.“;:‘nfi’q‘fi’{cfi::‘:‘fi {mportant place, and it would have been a very | coub lm,m;’cn‘:l:ly:hafllnnm—fluymlknuwrflnl o8, Y g g - ront] n?.
