TWE WITWESSES AGATYST TAZ COMMUNE. Evizapers, N. J., August 26, 1871. YO THR Epiror oF THe HERALD:. The HeRacp seems to give great welght to the tes- tlmony against the Commuuists, Who are the witnesses? There is not one iriend to the canss of the people—wiich was that of the Commune—among them. The witnesses are the old, uascrupulous de- fenders of the perjurer and inarderer who so long sat enthroned In the Tuileries. The public purse having now passed from the hands of the hero of December to those of the assassin of ten thousand women and enildren of Paris, these “witnesses’’ are become the humble toois of Tmers. It is universally known that no human being in France dares give testmony in favor of the Commanists, The Abbé Dorey gives his Word against them, of course, But, lustead of making sweeping “assertions” as to their ‘‘barbari- tues,” why don’t all these denuneiators bring for- ward reliable proof of acts and give their details py some witness worthy of belle’y The oath of a French priest in such a case ts not worth a straw. French priesis have always and wader ail circumsiances been the ewemies of liberty and the remorseless haters of the men who struggle for it. For centuries in France the: e been Une hearty aids 0: despotism and the perpetrators of fiendish crueities. Witness the murders of Si, Bartholomew and the massacres Which Zollowed the revocation of the Hiict of Nantes. In Paris during ihe iast 200 years they nave been nothing but Court sycopiaats, Under Lows XV. they Supported the harlot Pompadour for twenty years in her reign of cruel power and shameless splendor on the steps. of tne throne, and flattered her successor, the prostituie Duvarry, in her reckless expenditure of the public mor order to get her favor with the King. ‘They encour- aged for years and shared in the revolting but gits- tering and expensive orgies of the Regent, Puill pe Worivans And all this walle the people of Paris were starving on black bread aud praying and veg. ging in vain jor royal and _priesuy eyes vo deign to jook upon them aad give relief, “If ever eartit wit nessed a jon! insult to the name of the stainless Chrisi—the gente, the compassiouate Master, 80 full of sWeet huinility, who loved aud lived atong the wreiched—it Is In bebolding these comfortable and lazy hypocrites wearing , covered all over as they are with the blood and ‘the tears of the poor—the poor whom they have abandoued to mis- ery and igaorance tn order to live lives of ease or to become tlic heartless lackays of royal tyranny.

Is t any wonder that the Workingmen hated priests? is itauy wonder that, seeing their wives and chil dren murdered before their eyes by tue troops of that Bonaparte the puests had so long sustained, taat they turned tn that terctole moment and fell upon those whom they regarded, and justly, as the chief agents of the tyranny under which they suf- ‘fered?

General Hawley Iuterviews a Herald Corre+ Spondent ina Stratogical Way, How the Telegraph Wires Were Worked Against Butler from Hartford. Tiarrrorn, August 26, 1871. This city, which chiefly nas its being through the ald of msurance oMfcés and the subscription book- sellers, who flood the land with immense volumes of adventure, biography and traveis; has been very tmauch excited for the last few days over the long and cutting speech of Ben Butler, made at Springfleid on ‘Thursday evening. Hartford ts now legaily the capt- tal of Connecticut, and will soon nave @ magnificent State House on the banks of Hog River, the stream which skirts the principal part of the city. New Haven, which was the alternate capital of the State, has yielded in despair to the edict of fate, and among its politictans there is no hope of ematuting Tammany 1n a good fat job, as all the small fry ward cliques of Hartford have already begaa to calculate their gains as to the sums they Will beable to take from the appropriation for the new State Itquse, In addition to the State House Job the next tning which moves Hartford to 13 centre 13 the violent attack made upon Joe Hawley, the edifor of the Hartford Courant, one of the most respectable of the republican journais in New England, aud rank- ing next for careful editorial management to the Springtleld Republican, The Courant 1s one hun- dved years old, I believe, or more, and its editor, Joe Hawley, Was @ major gencral in the war and served under Lutler, but for some years past has opposed tne redoubtabie Ben for reasons best Known to him- self, particularly in the contest which prevailed at one time between Buiter aud &, H, Dana, Jr., for Congress, Butler, asevery one knows, ts a tough man and can hit an envmy back in a manner that 13 extremely unpleasant, and accordingly on Taursday evening, When Butler made his speectt at Spring- field, he took occasion to mt General Hawley very sharply over the knuckles for his op- position in the past. He stated that he had dis, missed General Hawley from is command, while serving in tho Army of the James, for incompeteucy. General Hawley has many friends in Hartford, par- ticularly among the Connecticut soldiers who served with him, and therefore there is considerable feel ing in regard to the attack on hin by Butier. Among the workingmen in Hartford, as well ag at! through- out New England, Butler has numerous supporters, who belleve in his advocacy of the doctrines of labor and Communism. Batler’s speech at Spring- fled was perhaps the most masterly and artful appeal made in the United States since the days of Aaron Burr to the classes of men who differ essen- tially and radically on great questions, while they may be united on side issues, He 18 the Charles Reade of political speakers, and whatever ae be, a demagogue or not, he seizes the situation at once and gives, in a tew seutences, the pith of an argu- ment briefly, but in the most telling manner, whe Springeld Repudican and the Boston 4drer- tiser, a3 well as the Courant, came in for & share of his depunctation, and when the latter sheet was spoken Of m1. no compiimentary terms, a Mr. Lawson, a reporter of the Courant, who Was ‘present al the Springtield meeting, instantly arose and telegraphed he substance of the charge made against General Hawiey by General Butler to the former gentleman in Hartierd, Generai Hawiey is a siarp newspaper man aud knows very well Uiat itis au evidence of good judgment to have a contradiction of an acca- gallon made on the same day in the press that the accusation appears, Accordingly the next morning, when Bucer’s speech appeared, denouncing Gener; Hawiey, the latter gentiemnan sent a despatch all over the country Which came out simultaneously with the charge of Butler's. ‘This despate. stated that butler had told an tofamous taisehood, aud tuat he was a “har aud a blackguard,” : 1 calied on General Hawisy at the editorial rooms of the Courant, waich are situated on Pratt sireey, aud had an interview with him of two hours’ dura- uon. The editorial rooms of the Courant, like all the editorial rooms in New Engiand, are up at the head of a dark stairway, 1 found General Hawiey sitting i the rooms of tue managing eduor, which position he holds, I believe, on the Courant. ie is a stout, well-provortioned, weil-looking gentleman, verging toward the fitties, with a prominent fore- head, a full round face and wears & mustache ant goatee in the military jasnion, L stated that ube object of my visit, and he very courteously voucu- safed all the formation in his power in regard to his row with Batier, HBRALD CORRESPONDENT—General, what where the original motives of che quarrel between yourself and General Batler? General HawLEY—We may as well begin at the beginning of the connection between General Bui- ler and myself, HERALD CorrEesPonpeNt—Very well, General; I suppose that is the best way. General HawLgy—I was under Butler's command over eight mouths, beginning in April, 1364. Ne recommended me for brigadier general just alter a sovere fight at Veep Run, August 16, 1854, and gave mo command of a division Of troops in Uctover af- terwards, which division | beid in a movement out OF the tines and in battle, October 27 of same year. A few days after I was detatled by Terry to taxe 8,000 pickéd troops to New York city to keep the piace during the Presidential carmpaigu. Lined six or seven regiments of tmiantry and two reguiar batteries, some the regiments were Eastern es and a few had served under mo, ‘Tuerg was @ iment, from Indiana and one from St. Lawrence county, New York State, I believe. He had command of the movement. put | had the entire nandiiug of tae troops, Butler was in command at the Hoffmau House, and I don’t know that he ever saw one ot (he regiinents, After the occupation bad ceased I re- turned with the troops to my old po#ition—to the Atiay of the James, and no fault Was found with me. Alter I returned to the army Terry was sent to North Carolina, Iwas next in rank to him tn the division, aad Butler gave me commane ot the divi sion and of the posit.on, I was on the extreme rigut of the Army of the James and on tho extreme right of the whole grand army. My position extended from the New Market road around eastward by New Market Heights, and em- braced several batteries, forts and petween six and seven thousand first rate troops, Butler would ; hardly bave trasted me wita such a position if he had thought me ineiMeient or incompetent, It would have been very easy to have sent me of with Terry when hie brigade went on the expedition to Fort Fisher. I thought my chance for a good fight Was nearly a3 is Terry’s when he left, for we had some expectations of an attack, We tuough: that the rebels would flad out that six or sevem thou- saud good troops had gone away to North Carolina. Indeed they did begin & movement, which wes in. tended to be decisive. Their gunboats went down the James and attewpied to break our llae. Genera! Hawley continued at some length to re. cite nis career Watie in the Army of the James, and stated that it was his decided impression thar Huvier Jeft before be (Hawley) did. General Hawley served in North Carolina and Virginta afterwards as a sta? omcer, ite stated to oar correspondent that | never had been revuked for his conduct tn battle, aud Was never relieved from command With any Teffection on bis behavior in any respect. He was AS an utter loss to imagine What possible preiext Butler could have had ior saying that he had dis waced him for ineMciency aud incompetency. jeneral Lawley stated tat as General Butler's statements stood unexplained he (Hawley) delib- erately represented that Batier had toid a most infas mous lie, or, i common purase, he Was guilty of telling a lie made out of whoie cloth. General Hawiey, at the couciusion, stated that tt ‘Was possible that Butler haved him because he had written @ letter in iavor of the électon of R. H. Dana, Jr., an old friend of Hawiey’s, to Con; aithough he (\!awley) had been drag imto the canvass. And he gave reason No. 2 for Hutler’s hatred. It was that General Hawiey, at the Wood. Stock celebration of the Fonrua of July, 1870, had offended Bulder probably by getting upon the plat- form, General Grant being present, and defending the Chinese agatust the attacks made by Butler on them. In relation to the damaging statements mado by General butler in regard to Ue enormous, and, a8 many believe, unaccountable expeaditures of the Massachusetts republican State government, | General Hawley zuarded)y stated that he was not well Oey acqualited With Massacinsett, State affairs to beable to give our correspondent any in- formation, In fact, General Hawley was very Bares and cautious throughout and made a tous effort to interriew the correspondent, which is reversing the order of nature, and could sneh a syaterm prevail It mignt destroy the unities and set te whole Bngliso speaking world agog.
