ion even went so far, and the women-beaters and wife-whippers of England were so shocked, that they called upon their government to represent their condemnation of the order to our State Department. When their minister here brought it to the attention of our Secretary of State, Mr. Seward answered him in that easy and perfect manner with which he could turn away an application without leaving an opportunity for the interlocutor to gather offence. I quote from Seward's Life, p. 139:-- Mr. Stewart, in a very courteous manner, verbally expressed to me the opinion of Her Majesty's Government, that General Butler's order concerning the females of New Orleans who gave offence to the Union soldiers was an improper one, in respect to the expressions employed in it. I answered him that we must ask his government, in reading that proclamation, to adopt a rule of construction which the British nation had elevated to the dignity of a principle and made the motto of their national arms--Ho

g. The next afternoon another sphere of duty quite foreign to my professional studies and military experiences was put upon me. I received a message from Mr. John A. Stewart, United States Assistant Treasurer in New York, asking for an interview. See Appendix No. 90. I immediately appointed an interview at my headquarters at the Hoffman House that evening. Mr. Stewart called upon me and said:-- General, I have just returned from Washington, where I have been on very important public matters. I have had an interview with the President and Cabinet and asked them what I could do under the circumstances, if anything, and what they could do in the alar I said: I know Belmont has offered to bet that gold will go up to 300 on election day, and he is a pretty cautious man in such matters. Well, General, said Stewart, rising, if you think of anything I can do, let me know, whatever may be the day or hour. It will easily be supposed that during that night and the next day, S

My Dear General:--I want to see you at your earliest convenience, in relation to a matter affecting the best interests of the government, and in regard to which I can better confer with you here than elsewhere. Please let me know by bearer if you can grant me an interview. With great respect, yours, etc., John A. Stewart, Assistant Treasurer United States. Major-General Butler. [no. 91. see page 768.] Harrisburg, Nov. 7, 1864. How long, my dear General, will you remain in New York? Will you stop in Philadelphia, or what would be better, can't you come this way? It is quite as near from New York to Washington. I go to Philadelphia Thursday and if I cannot see you there or here I will go to you. It is my private opinion that Stanton is to go on the march, and you should take his flank. We

either principal nor income is expended for land or buildings. Education in industries and the preparation of teachers are promoted in institutions believed to be on a permanent basis. The board consists of Prof. Daniel C. Gilman, ex-president of Johns Hopkins University, as president; Chief-Justice Fuller, as vicepresident; Morris K. Jesup, as treasurer; J. L. M. Curry, as secretary and general manager; and Bishops Potter and Galloway, and Messrs. William E. Dodge, William A. Slater, John A. Stewart, Alexander E. Orr, and William H. Baldwin, Jr. The fund is a potential agency in working out the problem of the education of the negro, and over half a million of dollars has already been expended. By the extraordinary fidelity and financial ability of the treasurer, the fund, while keeping up annual appropriations, has increased to $1,500,000. Schools established by States, denominations, and individuals are helped by annual donations. Among the most prominent are the Hampton Normal
