When he was elected to 8 le United States Senate, I took a 1 ery active part in the canvass for 1 im. The contest between him * ud Governor Hammond was a J ery close one. In exerting mv ifhience as a member of the Leg* 1 latere to secure his election, 1 j 'as actuated by various motives. Iy personal friendship for the udge was perhaps the first and le strongest.

He was not ' very learned or profound law- J jr. In many ca?cs where his idgment w?8 at fault, lie was in- 1 ined to throw tho responsibility 1 'deciding the case on the jury.? j e was so impatient in tlu# trial of case, and so loud of cutting his 1 it and making sport of ever)- ^ ing that occurred, that a lii\^ye." f It pleasant in, trying before ' in a long and cnftipluutsd- caxO- p Judge Butler was a man of high tollect and noble nature, just and f tunable. He was cordial and 1 fectionate in; his disposition, but 0 (ccssively fond ot telling anec ites and making sport of his best * iends. lie loved hmwor and a it dearly. In debates, when ex 1 ted, he was eloquent At other 1 mes, when not warmed by the a bject, or inspired by the occa- J on, he was dull and awkward.-? i speaking, he was fond of makg classical allusions, and referng, for illustration, to the histo- 1 es of Rome and Greece, which * 3 had stndled well. ' Judge Butler was the son of * en. William Butler, a gallant of- * jer of the Revolutionary army, 1 id afterwards a member of Conress for many years. lie was nally beaten for Congress by } ohn C. Calhoun. Judge Butler * raduatcd at the South Carolina 1 bllege, and, after reading lawv as admitted to the Bar. lie used ' > tell an amusing story of his goig ho Orangeburg to establish i imsclf as a lawyer, immediately ] fter his admission to the Bar.? 1 Whilst at the hotel, he told the I jrvant who was attending to his ] Mm, to bring something to make t is fire burn. In a short time the \ ei-ro hoy returned with several \ mal', pieces of plank, which look- < d ? cry suspicious at d Strang to < lie Judge. lie enquired ot the ^ by where he had got this kindling i jr the fire. With perfect inno- I ence and frankness he replied: < Out here at the graveyard."? What!" said the Judge, ' r??b- i ling the dcAd to kindle a fire ?? I ako every one of those pieces < ack, you rascal, and place them i rhereyon got them !" They were I ittle liieCM (if nlntilr uiln/tli Im/t ecu put ii|> at (lie bend and foot I f graves. The Judge concluded I t was no place tor him to settle, i I'liere they had so little reverence < ,nd respect for their dead. He l etnrued to Edgefield, and there i ommenced his professional career, i He was employed in a esse of < Under for the defence. This was < us first case. The defendant came o him and told him that the plain* ; iff was a mean fellow, and a great ascal, and he wanted him severey handled in the argument. The l udge 6aid lie accordingly exhaustd all his a of abuse on tlie daintiff, and had no doubt that he lad increased the verdict against :1 lis client a thousaad dollars bv his i n war rat i table abase; butsomnch i leased was the defendant with his i peech, that he took the Jndpe to i , jeweller's shop and made him a . present of a gold watch M a fee n the case. In tlie Legislature, the Judge poke very often without preparaion, and, on one occasion, waft not iltogether accurate in his quotaion of one of the Ten Command Bents. Thereupon, old Smb. Dickon,: ? member from Pendleton, 6 rbo wu a great wag, and always Ironk, undertook to correct him in >is quotation, and said as hisyoung p riend did not seem to bo fpmiliar f with the Commandments, lie would ? epeat thorn for bis benefit. The c galleries were filled with ladies.? C The old member went on repeating hera, with great emphasis and a ong pauses, till he eame lb the 0 Seventh; after repeating it, he t (topped, and remarked that he c toped bis vonng friend would nev? 0 ;r forget that one. t In repartee, the Judge was always happy and severe. On < ne 1* tension, in the trial of a case at ? Anderson, Peter VanDiver, a * iroung lawyer, said to the Jndfge t hat ne differed with him in opinon as to the admissibility of the \ proposed testimony. The Judge ? epiied, that might be, but that his 8 >pinion in the ruling wag worth r lomething, and Mr. Vandiver's vaa not. I witneaaed a passage at t urna, once, between the Judge, d vho lived at Edgefield, and the 1 Ion. A. Burt, who resided at Ab- ? jeville, in reference to the com- n >arative morals and temperance of a he two districts. The Jndge Baid \ le had seen more drnnkenness at Q he last Court at Abbeville than he > aver saw at Edgefield. "Bncthere f, ivas this difference," said Mr. Burt, ? * at Edgefield yon see gentlemen J Irunk, which yon never see at p \bbeville." The Judge replied c hat he did not know there were e iny gentlemen at Abbeville to get v irnnk. n In a very short time after Judge Butler took his seat in the United t States Senate, he gave that body a f specimen of his wit and humor, \ it the expense of a Senator from L Tennessee, which convulsed the 0 gravity and dignity of the Senators p rery rnnch. The member had nade some assaults on Mr. Cal c lonn, and the Jndge replied with c i comparison ol the Senator most in pri mely ridiculous, but which I t :annot now undertake to repeat.? f The Judge very soon took a high position in the Senate, as a public f ipeuker^and was greatly esteemed 0 ,y likfcompeers in that body, then ( ]-|lia^ous for its talent, elooueriCO * infant* 04LI The soeia? qualities of.Judge r Butter were very' extraordinary, md as a boon companion, be could t tot be surpassed.

He was a Whip, when j, sleeted to the Senate by a Legisla- ri lire entirely Democratic.

They were divided into n L21 lots, and the remarkable fen- t! ore of the sale was that the lots c .vere bought by tenants, some of n a bom paid at the rate of fifty, otlijrs forty, and none less than thirty n rears time. The great curse of Ireland, and the most fruitful \ source of oppression and misrule, * has always been that the tillers of the soil were not the holders of it. c Vast estates have been handed ? down from generation to genera- 6 ti<?n of the gentry?land that, subdivided, might have been success- 1 fully cultivated, has been allowed f to run to waste, or made into parks f and hunting grounds for too aris- * tocracy?and cruel and impudent n hirelings, acting as stewards for t absent proprietors, have bitterly t oppressed the tenants. In an Irish town the traveler passes through itreets filled with the evidences of the most abject poverty to some one, or two, or three massive and costly residences of the gentry, 0 walled in and set apart from the 1 desolation and misery every where present. It tho change seemingly inaugurated by the disposition of ? the vast estates of the Marquis of 1 W arert'ord can be carried on to its < legitimate completion, the event i will prove that the dawn of a bet- * ter day has arisen upon Ireland, t and Fenianism, Agrarian ism, Co;n t Diunistn, and all the other "isms" that have their birth in oppression 1 and their ending in blood, will pass e natnrallv K- ????? ?' ?- - '?"J " " % VJ I VBOVM Ul ItUVir I very Heedlessness.

Exjitfment over prince GoRTBCHAioff's Note.?A special dispatch o the New York Evening Post Yom Washington, nndcr a late late, savs : Nothing has lately led to so much comment in diplomatic circles as Prince GortschakofTs letter to Minster Curtin, relative to the treatnent of Minister Catecazy by the Jnited States Government. The document has made a deciled sensation, inasmuch as it is opposed to have the sanction ot l.e Czar, and foreshadows that !dr. Catecazy is to be sustained by lis own government. The letter is regarded by liigh ifbcers as a direct and o]>cn insult o the President and Secretary ot State, and as likely to lead to se iUUO I'TOUIIB. The country need not be surprised if Mr. Curtin, our Minister to Russia, is immediately ordered to demand his passports, and the Russian Charge d'Affaires here mpplied with his, in order that he may take his departure from the United States. This would break :>ff all diplomatic intercourse with Russia, but such a step is said to have been under contemplation iiready by onr authorities. It is maintained liore that onr government acted with great forbearance and leniency towards Mr. Datecazy, and that instead of the Russian Government being offendjd, it ought to feel thankful that >nr Government did not long ago tend Mr. Catecazv his passports. Princo GortschakofTs letter has sxplained Mr. Catecnzy's objec:ionablc conduct, and confirmed what has long been suspected here by our authorities, that he acted in accordance with instractions trow St. Petersburg, and not ot his own volition.
