This was of course Supi Vised to have occurred while Butler was at the head of Tho department of the Golf in Julf 1>c2. To these charges Butler replied naturally enough denying everything and his letter has a been published in nearly every paper of note throughout the co Tantry several weeks since. The direct result has been a constant Stream of charges and recriminations against Butler from a Host of iou them who bad become acquainted with the general during his stay in new Orleans and All of them in correspondence addressed to Quot Charles e.
