General Butler was in town about au hour to-day, bovying called at his office for the purpose of looking after some professional bustness, While be stayed here he was waited on bya reporter for the purpose pf ascertaining it pe had anything to say about tho charges made in General Boynton’s letter, published here Just Monday and alsoin the HrraLp, TheGeneral gaid in opening that he did uot think it worth while to reply to all the campaign slanders printed about bim, “The journals,’”’ General Butler said, ‘which mako the charges wou’t publish the answer, so that so far as they are concerned the charges will pass uuan- swered. Besides, some of the matters seem too trivol- ous toangwer, But as some good men may be proju- diced by them I will reply. CHARGES ANSWERED SERIATIO, “First, you snow me the charge that [ am the owner of 000 worth of Hartiord and Erie railroad bonus, received for services rendered tho road, or at least implying services rendered the road. In reply to that I will say—frat, that I am not an owner of any Hartford and Erie Ratroad bonds, and second, that I never rendered avy services to the Hartiord aad Erie Railroad, I did on a retainer from their creditors put the’ Hartford and Erie Ratl- road into bankruptcy, if that was a servico to the read, out 1 made no charge and received no fees trom tne road, which was not my client, THE PARRAGUT PRIZE MATTER, “In the Farragut prize matier,” continued the General, “the course of the newspapers 1s simply ludicrous, They have started off by saying tbat I received $142,000 fees for doing nothing in the case, by sitiply acting as a figurehead, and that the other counsel who did tho work got nothing Wel, I answerod the Journal that I took upon mysel{ the laboring oar, and that my associ- ates shared With me what was allowed, and that the fees were allowed by the Court, They then got a fellow by the name of Boynton, a news- Paper reporter, who wont on tho Journal’s staff in that: capacity, 1 am informed, so that he wrote for a newspaper aud was paid by the goveroment for sup- posed soldierly service, He was employed to write up a statement that I not only did all the work. try- ing the case, but that I got up the whole caso, evidence, witnesses and claims, cheated the courts, defrauded the arbitrators, bulldozed the counsel for the gov- ernment and really wrung for my elicnts oat of the government some $1,500,000 or more, 1s would seem that if I had dono ali this my clients ought to have been willing to have paid me a very large fee, and Uhut my services were altogether too cheaply ‘paid for, Yought to buve had,ball at least, if the stute- ment is true. BOYNTON AND DOYNTON’S LETTER. Now, after Boynton got up his statement 1 recoivod the following letter and tnciosures as to the way he (Joynton) made bis siatement und as to tho way the Jees were determined apon by the Court, and also a copy of the evidence ta that matter which Boynton deciined to enuber have copied or pub- lusbed.

The three arbitrators were Henry W.

Tbat tribunal made a unanimous report to the Court of what they found the law aud tue facts to be, and awarded, as seca, & proper amount in favor of General Butlers clients, upon their couscience, and their report, by the very terms of the agreement of the arbitration, was not made between the counsel for the United States and Goneral Butier, but was signed on boball of the United States by three Cabsnet officors—the Sec- rowgry of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Naty an@ the Attorney General Ano appeal was made to the Supreme Court andthe Supreme Court, aiter argument on the questions of Inw and fact, confirmed tbe award of the arbitrator in so far only as they deemed it legal and just.

The Military Committee, te whom the whole aflsir had been referred, reported that the funds of that institution had been taitbiuily aud judiciously in- vested, Upon a repert of tbe Board to Congros: twice repeated, Congress changed the form of appro- priating moucy lor the support of the natioual homes, but directing that ali the fines and iorteitures should romaia in the Treasury and appropriating directly the money tor the support of the homes in annual appropriation vilis, and directing a quarterly requi- sition on the Treasury to be mado for tue support of the homes. As sovn as any money was drawa under that act of Congress I uppiied to the Seer tary of the Treasury jor leave to havo the Soldie Homo treated as a part of the government ot the United States, and not as it had been before, as a private corporation, and asked for Jeave to deposit in the United States Treasury instead of in abauk, Thic was gravted, aud 1 have since deposited with the Assistant Treasurer ut Boston, so that all moneys have remained iu the Treasury until ot ‘prize drawn out upon proper voucners to pay exponses, ‘The Joterview closed with a statement irom Frank- Ho Haven, Assistant Treasurer at Bosion, corroberat- ig the General’s assertions.

JUSTICE RAMSAY'S CHARGE, Nothing to Prove the Yellow Men Criminal. INSTRUCTIVE PROCEEDINGS [B¥ TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Montrwau, Oct. 17, 1878. So great was the crowd of spectators atthe Orange men’s trial al! through the day that tne police squad on duty experienced difficulyy in keeping the people out of the small space reserved for the counsel and the privileged few tm. mediately in front of His Honor Judge Ram. gay’s degk. The detendants, flvo in number, tneluding David Grant, the District Grand Master, were accom. modated with seats near their counsel and watched the proceedings with a pathetic indiffercnce. The counse! for the prosecution were Edward Carter, Queen’s Counsel, and Mr. Bernard; for the defence, Mr. Joseph Doutre, Q. C., and Hon, Mr, Abbott, Q C. Theo witnesses called wore Major Edward Bond, Colonel George Smith, Dunbar Brown, Rugh Scott and Andrew McNally, all of whom rolased to answer those questions which tended to divulgo the secrets of tho lodge, tor the reason that they could not bo expected to criminate themselves. The evidence of the other witnesses for the prosecution altogether {failed to prove the charge of unlawful assembly ang the caso tell through, THE JUDGE'S CHARGE, Judgo Ramsay, im directing the jary to acqait, sald the case 18 one arising out of the unfortunate troubles of the 12th of July. ‘The indictment is un- dor the common law which declares that when meh agsemble vitn the intention of obtaining an object, even be ita lawful one, by unlawiul means, tho ase sembly shall be deemed unlawful. It was, in shore language, an indictment for holding an unlawful assembly. Had they proceeded to do an ualawial thing they would not have becn Indicted for holding an wol«wfal assembly, but for the action carried ont So careiul was the law that it prohibited not only action, bat assem bites culcalated to provoke a breach of the peace.

Tho Orange procession 1s a ridiculous oné, dressed Out in those trumperies Which give offence to seme porsons, It was without meauing and without object, But then if people objected to a number of persons ap- pearing in the street arrayed in tinsel and or ribbons, those who objecied to such a demonstration ure bot obliged to expose themselves to vo offended, and might havo remained at home. So tar as he know an Orange procession was nos illegal, thou, it might be tndiscroct, We are told that thore were some five thousand persons on tho street. Mr. Mercer more moderately says two thousand. It is to be hoped that there are not more than two thousand ersons-so foolish as to waste a duy jn that manner, Won, we mast inquire, Was the act of the Orangemen Jn assembiing a crimmal act? I nave spared no trouvle since I know this matter was to come up for trial in studyirg tho case, and I must tell you that it Was not a critninal act, ‘THE MAYOR SUSTAINED. The conduct of the Mayor has been unnocessarilp brought into the case, and as such {3 the cuso the Court may refer toit, It may be open to criticism or discussion, but it appears to tho Court that be acted very discreetly und wisely; and not only was 10 hia right but bis bounden duty to adopt any means possiblo jor the maintenance of peace, It was not only right, but nis duty to do as he did. There wasg no occasion to doubt tho Muyor’s honesty and sincore purpose, It ho could not disperse tho jarger crowds, as he says. he could not, ho did well in dispersing the smaller one, and thus avoiding:a collision between two geo- tions of Hor Majesty’s subjects. The Jaw did not place an exact limit to the power of a Mayor, but he bad as much a right to disporse those people as a common policeman had to stop a madman who wished to throw himsolt intg the river to test tue means of suving life. Imperious necessity demanded interférence, He concluded by saying that the learned counsel for the prosecution, With all tholr research, had not been able to bring anything against the deiendants, There was no evidence whatever to eupport the indictment preforred. His Honor having prosented tho case to the jury the form was obsoryed, und the jurors arose and declared the dofendants to be not guilty of participating in an unlawful assembly, ANOTIN THST CASK. The trial of David Grant was then proceeded with on the second indictment, charging him with being a member of un tilegal society, A mixed Fr Englist jury was sworn in to try the issue. deuce of several of the witnesses, who had testified in the first case, was adduced, and ‘a8 these again ro- Jused to criminate themselves by admitting that they wore in the seerets of the Order, nothing to support the accusation could ve elicited turth than that defendants bad been seen wearing what ‘wus supposed to be the regalia of the Ora Order, ‘The case did not go to the jury, as Judge ey ine timated that there was no evidence to convict, On this the counsel for the prosecution abandoned the caso and His Honor proceeded to instruct tho jury to acquit, observing that the charges against the de. fendant were that be had taken ap unlawfal oath and ‘tbat ho had made an agreement not to divulge any- Uhing that took place in the lodge. Now, it was note essary to prove that David Grant belonged to the Loyal Orange Association of British North America and that he made an filegal agreomont, DESIITETE OF £ROOR. It was charged in the iadictment that ho was a member of the association, while the evidence ud« duced wont merely to show, if anything, that do- fendant Was a member of a local Orange lodge of this city, which was not proved to be connected with tl Orabge Association. There was no proof that he was @ momber of the National Association mentioned, although there was plenty of proof that he did belong to some association. ‘Tho witnesses had all reiused to answer any question that migot throw light on the subject, lest they should erimimate thomsel¥es; nor Was thore any evidence preferred to prove that the laws of tue Orange Soctety montioued, made Jt an illegal society. As thore was no prool, thon @ofondant must be acquisted, The defendant was tifbu discharged, VAILURK OF THE PROSKCUTION, Mr. Doutro asked. 11 the same charge against the other defendants would bo procecdua with; to whiclt ‘Mr, Cartor replied that he desired a postponement of the other cases until to-mor to give thom an o portuaity of cousulting the private prosecuto added that he would advise them te discontinue fur- ther proceedings. ‘The request was acceded to and tho court adjourned. Mr. Grant received tho con- gratulations of bis {rieuds, and so ends this cause céicbre, The tost ot tho legaiity of the Orange proces- sions having reached this stago it is a question whether the Orangemen will attempt another pablo’ demonstration next 12th of July. ‘THB QUEBEC LEGISLATIVE BLUNDER, ‘tne Legislature at Quebee have passed a law since tho jast anniversary of tho battle of the Boyn Libiting party processions, bat making a spec! ception in tavor of religious processions. 1t 1s tho opinion of several eminent counsel that the Legisla. ture = overstepped its powers in passing this law, while others express the opinion that the saving Clause is fatal to the bill, and that if the Orangemen walk with a clorgyman aad an open bible at tne head of the cortdége They will come witnin tho limit of the exception.
