POLITICAL, NEWS. Special to the Courier-JournaL Washingtow, July 16. The belief tbat Gen. Butler i in town on an important political errand is His interview with tbe President yesterdaj though protracted, was interrupted by it Cabinet meeting. Today be called again at the White House by special invitation and bad another Conference, lasting two hours, with the President.

The importance of the meeting may be inferred from the fact tbat during the time several distinguished callers at the Executive Mansion were told that the could not be interrupted. Gen. Butler, when be left the President, drove at once to his residence, and shortly afterward, as if by arrangement, received several prominent representatives of the labor societies in the district. These representatives were accompanied and apparently beaded by a i stranger, a tall, muscular man with brown, thin whiskers, closely cropped hair of the same color, and dressed neatly, but plainly. He is said to be an officer of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Labor.and to have followed Gen.

Butler over here from Itaw York at the General's invitation. It is not' doubted here that it is Butler's purpose to run for the Presidency with the intention of and in the hope of weakening 1 Cleveland in 2Jew York and to whatever extent possible lm Indiana. Certain it is tbat he is in communication with the labor organizations all over the country, and is urging them to declare against the Democratic nominee. He does not abate his perfumed condition in the slightest to do this, but, with his fine linen decorated with diamonds and! his broadcloth guiltless of a speck or spot, be poses as the champion of the sons of toil as naturally and unblushingly as though he himself were, in fact, one of them.

BLAISE. EXPTJBLICA.Y CLAIMS OF INROADS 05 DEMOCRATIC STATES DE.MXO O.N GOOD AUTHORITY. Special to the Courier-Journal. "yVASHlSOTON, July 16. The claims of the Blaine men that their, candidate will make triumphant' inroads in the vote in Democratic States are disproved by expressions from well-informed sources.

Senator llcPherson says that New Jersey will give Cleveland 1C.000 majority. A North Carolina delegate to the Chicago Convention said here today that Cleveland would -carry that State by at least 10,000 majority. As to West Virginia, where the Bhine- Elkins influence has been accounted so strong, and Where wonders in the way of political revolution have been promised, the following from to-day's Baltimore Sun puts a quietus on all such pretension: The newspaper train from Chicaco on Monday last stopped ai various points in the Ions rua of many miles through VVesi Virginia terrio-ry. Itai- people tiiruetl out in crouds to niert (lie train, showing the utmost iuterest in the iloiugs of the Democratic Convention, and evincing unbounded enlt-iisiasm for the nominees. A New journalist, who was provided ith a tjuaf.tity of lithograpi.ic portraits of Gov.

distributed them with a lavish hand at nil the point at which stoppages were made, and there was scarcely a man in the crowd who did not pin a picture in his breast. At one larsre wnere there were probably CIMi of the stalwart yeomen tt Virginia" cor.Krcjrated around the train, one cf the passengers put the query. hero nre the Blaine men?" Instantly came the re spouse from a dczen different voices, 'There are none here." The reinorK a. then made thru it was claimed Blaine would carry West Virginia, when a ttne, manly fello-v, who was id his sliirt san? oot, "There is not enotit-li r-ionev i tlie United btates Treasury to do it," and the others applauded. There ha Ve been some claims of carrying old Virginia for Blaine, but a serious split in the Maliotie camp there the slender hope.

The split occurs right in Mahonc's own hoiiie, in the Petersburg district. Mr. Hooper, ho was elected to Congress as a Readjuster from that district, displeased Mabone, it seems, by not following his dictation as closely as he mijht, so when it enrao time for the reuominution, man named Brady was put up by the Virginia Senator and nominated to supersede Hooper. Mr. Hooper has now come out as a straight-out Republican candidate, and will run against the Readjust' 'candidate.

The impression prevails ia many quarters that a member of can net serve on either tho National or Congressional Campaign Committee of either party without violating the civil service laws. The Critic this a'terncon prints ah interview with Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, President of the Civil Service Commission, on the sub ject. Mr.

baton says: 'There is nothing laws prohibiting a member of Congress from so acting, if ho chooses to do so. The only reference to what members of Congress may or may not do is found in sections 10 and 11, which read as follows: 'SectioxIO. That to recommendation of any person who shall apply lorofMceor place under the provisions of this act, which mar be (riven by any S-cator or member of the House of Representatives, except as to the charni-ter or residence of the applicant, sh II be received or considered by any jn-rson concerned In niaking any examination or appointm nt under this act.

"I do BQt think it would be proper for an executive, officer of the Government to act in tbecapacitv you refer to; but I can see nothing in the law to prevent a member of Congress acting if he desires to do so. The law has no reference to the legislative branch of the Government in the matter yon are seeking information about; but does to the executive, I think." BUTLER AM) MASSACHUSETTS. MR.

It is as follows: To the Democracy of Kextccky The Democratic State Central Committee begs to address the Democrats ot Kentucky a tew words of cheer and hope. In the bare fact of neariv twenty-four years of maladminis tration Of the political affairs of our great republic consists the strongest argument to individual Democrats to leave no honest effort untried to secure a change of party domination, un i thereby a change of policy and of methods. Our party in National Couventiou assembled at Chicago last week, after four days spent in interchange of opinion by the delegates, consisting of many of the ablest veteran Democrats of the irountry, and witnessed by the largest assemblage of people ever assembled at a convention on thU continent, presented to the country a platform of principles upon which every honest patriot can stand and abase as its candidate for President, a gentleman of transcendent ability and well-approved ofli-cial and personal integrity, the record of whose whole past life afford? the strongest guarantee of his adhesion to the principle and 1 ractice of administrative reform, wh.le the second place on tUo ticket was given to an il citizen of the Republic who has once heretofore been elected to the high office of Vice President, but who whs iraudulently deprived of his seat by the Republican members of a pecked court incited thereto and protected therein by the mailed hand of military power. As hundreds of Whigs in Keutucky voted for Ai.drew Jack-son in lS'iS because of their sense of fair and their resentment that. he was not declared by the House ot Representatives entitled to tho Presidency, to which they folt be had been elected 18'21, so will the pendulum of public justice swing to Mr.

WAS Jit: SVlllilMil A IV Alt' The Private Preretarf of a Wealthy Yeung Lady Disappears In a Alomt Alysteriona Slauuer. Special to the Courier-JournaL Chattanooga, July 16.

This en tire section of country is thrown in a tumult of excitement over the singular disappearance of a young man named John A. Neal, member of very prominent family of Kentviile, Ala. Neal was private secretary for Miss Maud St. Pierre. She is Very wealthy, and recently has invested nearly a quarter of a million dollars in Southern mining lands.

About six weeks ago she bought 23,000 acres in Franklin county. for S78.000 cash. After the transaction Neal was sent to tbe tract to look after certain timbers. While there he fell ill and went to tue hotel at Anderson, Tenn. He recovered, and, on Sunday, June 15, was entirely well.

About 8 A. M. he left the hotel for a walk through the woods, and at noon was seen on the top of tbe mountain, sitting by the roadside, plucking flowers. Twenty minutes afterwards, tbe hotel clerk becoming alarmed at bis absence, went in search of him; went to the spot where be was last seen, but no trace whatever was found. A large posse scoured the mountain without avail.

Miss St. Pierre was sent for and employed tweuty-Cve men and instructed them to search night and day, and spare no expense. Boats were built, and every stream for ten miles was dragged, canons, abysses aud gulches were thoroughly searched; skilled detectives were put to work in all neighboring cities and towns; railroad agents and conductors were put on guard, but as yet no trace whatever appears. The lady says ber accounts were left all right, and Neal did not have one cent of ber money in bis He was in good circumstances and in good spirits. A few days since a man was heard to exclaim in a crowd, if Miss St.

Pierre will offer $1,000 ransom Neal will be produced. The man was looked for, but could not be fouud. Tbe case attracts much interest and comment, no light whatever can be shed on the deep mystery. A VITAL. XOIL.S.

Aa rnlookrd For Delay With the Wsihlnftoa Munumeut Personals. i Special to the Courier-JournaL "Washington, July 18. The officers in charge of the Washington monument construction are exercised over a report of the contractors, Messrs. Classon to the effect that, owing to an unforeseen difficulty in handling tbe stone with their present machinery, a delay of one month may occur in supplying the marble for the pyramidal cap of the monument. This delay would be very serious, as it might prevent the completion of tbe monument before winter seta in, and thereby postpone the contemplated celebration on Feb.

2d. In order to prevent this Col. Casey has notified the contractors that the force at the monument shops will do no more of the work and if tbe rough-hewn marble is supplied with sufficient rapidity it will be dressed and polished here and prepared for its place in tbe pramidal cap. Col. Casey will prevent the delay if it is possible and -lieves that he sees a way out of tbe dirB- cvi.

which will probably allow the work to bv ii'Iy continued. J. i. and J. TV.

Tbe local passenger war, which the Herald predicted, is now raging. It is not very disastrous, and may safely be said to be a needless war. The war was precipitated by an excursion agent, who advertised round-trip tickets from Cleveland to New York, via the West Shore, for $15. The pool prohibit round-trio through tickets, but the West Shore is not fa tbe pooL It was said the party was to be run from Cleveland to Buffalo over the Nickel Plats, but the olSclals of the latter denied having sold any considerable number of tickets for the excursion, and it is now said tbat most of the party go from bere to Buffalo by boat. The New York, Fenn-vlvauia -and Ohio and Pennsylvania roads at once laid tbe matter before Conim.ssioner Fink, who instructed them to mort the rate, which tbey did with great alacrity, and, the bars being down, tbe Lake Shore-went and now from the present date until July 31 the fare, of 12.50 oneway Cleveland to New York, will be superseded by the round-trip fare of 15.

Yhetler the war will extend beyond July 31 remains to be seen. Crab Orchard TV at Eft snould be in everv family as a health preserver. See ad-Tcrtuement. MEDICAL. heal IS WEALTH I Health of Bofly is Wealth of Ilkfl DR.
