ABOUT SWOEDS AND TROPHIES. The National at Washington City, reports tliat a Mr.

Smith, from Ohio, was at the Wliite Ilouse a short time ago, having in Iris possession the sword carried by the Confederate Gen. John C. Breckinridge, prior to the capture of Selma, Ala." The paragraph goes on to say, the weapon was captured by one Frank W. Smith, of Company l6t Ohio Cavalry, who claims to have been one of a party "who came upon the house where Breckinridge was stopping, and mshed in just as he was escaping by the back door, leaving his sword." When Selma was captured, Breckinridge was not there. He was on duty at Richmond as Confederate Secretary of War.

So much of the story as relates to the capture of a sword from the fugitive general, is a canard. The Louisville Courier ex plains, that there was such a sword as is described, an honorary weapon, bestowed as a mark of esteem by the soldiers of his brigades, which had been under Gen. Breckinridge's com mand. It was noj U8e Du was teft with a friend among his private prop erty and family memorials, and was taken by a roving band of Federal cavalry, who were plundering bag gage. The possessor of this sword has tried to traffic in it before, by offers, in 1866, to sell it back to Gen.

Breckinridge, which oner was declined. It has now reappeared at Washington, and been exhibited to Gen. Grant probably under the impression that the possession of such a brilliant proof of martial prowess would 'give title to some office. We have not been told in what light Gen. Grant looked at this trophy thus ac quired which, whether tl- prop erty of the United States, or of the original owner as private property, had been surreptitiously appropriated by this Mr.

Smith. It would have been a magnanimous thought if he had suggested that it ought to be re turned, to Gen. Breckinridge. Gen. Butler, very like Mr.

Smith, had a passion for swords as the trophies of battles never fought. He gotrpossession of several in- that way, by bloodless victories over trembling women. Gen. Twiggs, in the early part of the late war, was the Confederate commander in Louisiana. But he had been superseded, and retired from the service, in consequence of age and infirmities.

Just before the arrival of the Federal troops, in 18G2, he was carried away from the city, a helpless invalid, stricken down with the attack of which he died not long afterwards. In leaving the city he deposited some family relics pieces of plate and his swords of honor with a New Orleans family, in special charge of some ladies, to preserve for his infant son. By a piece of domestic treachery, through a negro who had been taken into confidence, Butler learned where the sword of Gen. Twiggs was. He summoned the two ladies before him mother and daughter and by his peculiar modes of practicing on the fears and weak ness of woman, extorted the delivery of the deposit.

Among the articles was one given to Gen. Twiggs as a mark of honor twenty years before, by his native State of Georgia. What became of the plate, we are unable to say. The swords were transmitted to Washington, as military trophies, for which the captor deserved special national recognition. It was actually proposed in Congress to bestow one of them on Gen.

Butler himself, as a mark of national esteem, for prowess in war. tio not remember what became of the proposition. There was an appositness about it which deserved to succeed. Nothing could be more appropriate, in public acknowledgment of Butler's military honors, than the gift of a sword, which had been left by a dying non-combatant in the charge of some helpless women and been extorted from them by oaths and scowls. There was also another sword, the property of the family of a dead soldier, which Butler sent for and got in the same heroic man ner, it was tiie swora wnicn tne state of Kentucky had bestowed upon Gen.

Zachary Taylor. That, too, was in the custody of females, friends and connections of the family. It was carefully put into what was thought to be a place of security but domestic perfidy, which Butler boasted here as having organized into a perfect system, taught him where to find it. He marched a file of soldiers into the premises, and in the presence of the trembling females, captured that sword, and assumed the right to bestow it on some friend of his own. Another story of a hunt after a sword ia current here.

It was one of the shocking incidents of the war, that the tomb in which the remains of Gen. Sidney Johnston had been de posited, on their way to be buried in Texas, was broken open and ransacked under Butler's rule. Public rumor then had it, and it is made probable by such misdeeds as we have recorded, that he was keenly after the sword of the dead General, in his coffin, as another trophy for the Hero of New hile we are on the subject of But ler's military trophies, we may as well mention another of which his biographer will never recount the particu lars as they are vouched for here. It is said that the Confederate flag which he forwarded to Lowell, and which was displayed on the 4th of July, 1862 in that city as a symbol of tie glory acquired by their townsman, was bought of a yivandiere in a Confederate company, who deserted with it to the city when the Confederates were retiring unopposed from. Fort Livingston, on being recalled to the main body at Pontchatoula.

These antics of a charlatan politician, playing soldier, are as disgusting, "as they are to us, to the true heroes of that great conflict, whom history will remember with favor. Puzzled.

A CARP. In the evening edition of the Times, of yester day, there Is a misrepresentation wMch should be corrected. Mayor Conway did not call me to the floor to respond to any toast, at the banquet given at the St. Charles to the Illinois Press Association. I was caned to respond to the toast: "The Southern Press," by the Vice Presi dent of the Association, who had the management of the programme for the evening.

As for the sentiments contained in my Drier speech, I know that they win be Indorsed by every man in this community who has a proper regard for the honor of Louisiana and tne supe riority ol the Caucasian race. Mr name has been identified for years with tne "Southern Press;" In fact, the best years bf my life hare been spent In editorial labor, and the work is not finished yet. I had a right to reply to a sentiment such as-was offered on the occasion referred to. and If any one was particularly disappointed in not being called upon, that is certainly no business of mine. My remarks were intended to direct the atten tion of the Illinois delegation to our present deplorable condition in this State, and to ask that as members ot the press It was a duty, now that they had been with us, to correct the many misrepresentations made of our people, and to do what they could to keep uppermost the only race ot men which God ever designed to rule a civilized community.
