Tribune's Washinglou: General Butler 18 taking a very extraordinary poaition wilh respect to the c pber telegrams. The American people will dcubtleas be amused to learn that be will oppose an investigation of the cipher dispatches for the reason that he thinks it a gross violation of civil liberty and an outrage upon persona rights to go rummaging about tele- graph ofhcea for private dispatches, i Vet General Butler, according to the t statements of a gentleman who claims to have conversed with him, said he notified Potter that he Biiould oppose tbe passage of a resolution to inveii-gate inveii-gate the ciphers, unless an opportun - ! ily wes oflered for debate, and that he wanted himself at least an hour; furthermore, fur-thermore, that tbe resolution would never have passed the Poller committee commit-tee had he, General Buller, been in bis place. One explanation of Butler's But-ler's course is that be will oppose the investigation of the cipher dispatches for tbe reason that he wantB an investigation in-vestigation to be had, as be must know that nothing could induce toe house to order an investigation sooner than the fact lhat Butler, who is supposed to have originally come into poesaiou of the telegrams, opposes it. |
