Gross, &o by Gen. M. C. Butler, e *avo hitherto referred to Gen. ButlorSa position on this vital question, founded upon lottors of Gen. Butler recently publi.hed in tho Press. The prObiem, in our view will con tinue tone a,n engrossing one in the Nation and at tho South, but will be long In solution. Wo have said that the deportation of the negro in any thing like a short period is altogether impracticable. Coming however to understand Gen. Butler's position bet tor his solution seems more practica ble. His idea Is that tho negro for his own betterment and development a? a raco and for the good of the white race must bo segregated and removed. It Is Impracticable as he urges with out the agency of the general govern ment, and should not, and cannot be, without the consent of tho negro him self. This Is not objectionable, and in time, a long stretch of time, might gradually relievo the South of its crowded negro population. In the meanwhile tho problem of finding a homo for the negro Is not an easy thing. Gov. McSwcency and Adjutant Gen eral Floyd heading a Battalion of S.

The Governor and Staff were invited to he at Washington this week, where and when tho President presents the sword to Dewey voted by Congress, and the welcome to Dewey takes on a national flavor. The New York demonstration was a merely private atlalr of Wall Street and Tammany. Dewey will do well If he gots through the ordeal and has his head all right. - ? - ? Tho New County Idea. l A committee appointed to examine m?tIn- New County proposition embrac ing the Eastern townships of Laureus report Its impracticability. We have gono no farther than look into the legal aspect of the proposition as grow ing out of geographical relations of tho various sections Involved Small counties multiply business and educa tional centres. Hut as a fact our county is not to bo classod torritorally with the large counties and is symmetrically bounded.

There were many little tables about, nnd each ono was attended to by au ebon lined servitor, who Hooted back and forth from a long counter that acted us a sort of a coaling station, laden with Bpple dumplings, deviled ernbs. tripe nnd oysters and other similar dainties so famili?r to the ordinary luuchrootu. "Bring me a sandwich and a glass of milk," called the busy government man. The negro bolted away and quickly returned with the desired food and drink.

Twice did he seemingly finish the writing when he would stop, look nt the result and tear up the hit of pa per. At tho third attempt the cus tom' r called again Impatiently for tho bill of damage. The negro made a final effort nnd handed the clerk the check, on which was written, "One piece pie, one milk." "Here," said the young man :is ho looked at the slip of paper, "1 didn't order pie."

The woman said that her condition was so much better that she thought she could got up and leave the institution. Having his stethoscope with him, the doctor bent over the patient to hear the pulsa tions of the heart. They were exceed ingly irregular, and for some seconds he counted them. Suddenly there was a pause, and he waited for the recurring beat.
