DIBIT WORE LOGAN
pnt in his promised appeuanoe Thursday
night, and the Illinois and other hammers
in and out of effise in this city bad a big
time end filled themselves chock fall of
enthasiasm and mean whisky. There
was a procession and a brass band and a
lot of mounted marshals, and Logan and
old Clapp, of the Republican, and Fred
Douglass and another negro in a carriage
drawn by four white horses, which greatly
surprised me, as the gang seem to espe

Washington, February 24.—The Sen
ate has passed tho army appropriation
bill, retaining the clause allowing rail
road companies to use their telegraph
lines for commercial purposes. Tbe sec
tions forbidding the use of troops at tbe
polls were stricken oat.
Tae bill to prevent the introduction of
contagious or infectious diseases into the
United Slates, and to establish a bureau
of public health, was then taken np.
Several amendments have been agreed
to, and tbe bill is etiit being discusstd.
The Senate refused to strike out of the
army appropriation bill tbe clause in
setted by tbe House allowing railroad
companies to use tbeir telegraph lines for
commercial purposes.
A Democratic caucus was held this
evening to take action on tho subject of
the giving out of tbe public printing by
contract to private parties, thus abolish
ing tbe public printing office. A bill
was, however, agreed on with tbe above
named object, and will ba introduced in
the House.
Jewett, Secretary of the LouisianaRe
publican Committee ia lSGd. was before
the Potter committee to-day and closely
examined by Genor&l Butler in reference
to forged election certificates. He dis
tinctly denied tfcat Blanchard was the
forger, and said he believed it was
Tbomas S. Kelley He admitted the
letter to Senator Kellogg asking for ap
pointments for himself, Richardson and
other friends was written by him, and
was asked no farther questions in refer
ence to it.
Bickford, a Washington correspondent
of the Tribune, was called in reference
to the report that Secretary Sherman had
eaid tbe Potter committee intended pro
ducing a false "Sherman letter.” The
witness admitted sending the report to
the Tribune, bat said if they wanted to
verify it, they mast call Sherman him
self.
The committee then held a secret bps
sjon, and decided to receive no further
oral evidence, except that of Woolley
and Solomon, if they cat be called.
Woolley had sent an affidavit that he was
too ill to attend.
11:45 P. m.—The Senate ia still in ses
sion diKcnssing the bill to prevent conta
gions diseases.
^London, February 24.—The Paris cor
respondent of tbe Times says be ha* pre
cise Information relative to tbe Egyp
tian question. Neither Franca nor Eug-
Iicd considers herself bound to guarantee
tne ordinary conditions of assistance to
Egypt as protection against the vioissi-
lades to wbioh tbe is exposed, bnt they
both consider that by a wise system of ex
penditure end by reducing tbe rate of in
terest by oao-half Egypt may succeed in
making the two ends meet, and thus
save herself from becoming a ronree of
uneasiness to foreign governments.
The same correspondent also says : It
is affirmed that certain deputies of tho
Left wish the Chamber to nominee a
patllamentsry cemmission to investi
gate the proceedings of the Prefeotnre of
Police. It U said that the Cabinet will
etroDgly oppose this an an encroachment
on the fanedons of the Executive.

Pbovinoetown, Mass., February 24.—
The schooner reported Friday IibS as ap
parently in distress proves to ba the Geist
Banker, from Boston for Richmond. In
tho gale of Thnrsdsy night ehe had be
come eo iced np that the crew could not
hoist sail. Tbe mate was washed over
board, .but rescued, and onoof the crew
had hie feet frozen. A tug has gone to
assist the schooner.
Pittbcbo, Pa., February 24.—Captain
Boy ton, who has undertaken to float from
this city to New Orleans in bis life eaT-
ing suit, started on his long voyage this
morning. The weather was cold and
stormy and the water at the freezing
point'when he started. The river was
running foil of ice. He cxpec’s to reach
Rochester to-night, Steubenville Toes
diferous and ferooions that the small boys
turned pal* and slunk in terror at his ap
proach. When I have stated that this
distinguished eoldter bOised tbe
procession, all is said that is
neoeBsary to a fall understand
ing of what tut immense and en
tirely successful affair it was. Wnon
Willard’s Hotel was reached old Clapp
madea speech welcoming Logan, and &
South Carolina negro made another of
the same sort and then John assault
ed the English grammar and language
after his usual ferocious manner. Then
the motley crew rnshed np stairs to shake
his hand, greatly to the detriment of tho
hotel carpets end farniture, and wound
up by getting as drunk as their funds
would warrant. It has cost the Illinois
clerks a lot of money to welcome John,
and if there is anything left over, my ad
vice to them is to invest it in a new set
of brains and a grammar for his nee. By
tho way, Logan’s speech on this occasion
reminds me very much of his wonderfully
eloquent and epigrammatic effort in the
Senate in 1870, when, the question of
Georgia's re-admission into the UnioD
being nnder discussion, he observed,
among other things: ‘‘Mr. President—
When a State a*kafor admission into this
Union tbe first thing decided is that she
is entitled or ehe is not. If not, there
are reasons for it; if she is, it is because
sho has complied with ell that is prece
dent to her admission. If she has, then
she is entitled to admission; if not.
ehe i3 not. If she has, then Geor
gia is entitled to admission; if not, ehe is
not entitled to admission. If entitled to
admission, how is she entitled to ad mis
sion? If ehe is entitled to admission
into this Union, 6be ia entitled to ad-
tension upon a perfect equtlitv with the
rest of ths States.”
„ A SNUG SUM
For theecr iron-clad times is what Gen
eral Finley, of Florida, lately admitted to
his seat in the Honse, will pocket. He
has bean contesting B.sbse’a Beat da
ring this Congress, but was only admit
ted Thursday by a majority of nine. He
will draw for his ten days service $10,000
and mileage, with $250 for stationery for
Doth sessions. This 13 what I call com
fortable, and must fully repay tbe Gene
ral for bis long wait. Bisbeo. trade *
hard fight, and hated to go about as
badly as any man I ever saw. Wbat a
pity there-ia-not »omfi_l*w .compelling
him to disgorge the money be has drawn
as salary for nearly two yeare. But there
isn't, and so Und- Sam has to pay $20,
030 instead of $10,000 for tho repre
sentation of this one district. Bisbee
will contest Hull’s eeat in the next Con
gress, but I am delighted to believe tbat
be will have the door shut ia his face in
tbe most cheerfully summary manner.
H i is one of tho last of tha carpet-bag
gers who have been fattening on our peo
ple so many year?, and when the Peters-
burg(Va.) District folks bounce Jorgen
sen, the South will bs entirely rid of the
breed.
ASTRA EX.SION
Talk is plentiful and cheap. You can
hear anything you please about it tn tbe
hotel lobbi-s and bar rooms, and the less
a man really knows about it the more he
pretends tojknow. I can’t arrive at any
fixed opinion about it as yet. I think the
Honse Democrats are of the mind just
now to carry tbeir point about the repeal
of the Federal S.ipeivisor law or forco an
extra session, but they may change it
next week. Whether they do or not, the
law will not ba repealed by this Congress.
The Senate mil certainly resist, and it
will stand. I confess to sot being able
to exactly see the statesmanship of this
fight by the House for repeal, now, when
tbe Senate is Ii id teal, and will not agree
to it, unless, indeed, antx’ra session is
regarded a* ebiolutely essential to ac
complish something or other—I can’t
clearly see whar. The idea is advanced
that if we don’t organize tho House now
we may not ba-ablo to do so next winter.
Why, I do not understand, except on the
hypothesis that some members may be
bought by the Radical* batween March
4th and next December. But if any of
them are for sale why can’t they be
bought between tbe 4*.h of March and
tbe extra session just as readily? It is
not likely tbe extra session will be exiled
nnttl May, at tho soonert, if there is one,
and in these days of quick sales that
wculd give ample time to make any num
ber of purchase.
MR. STEPHENS
is justly indignant at the claims made by
som- Georgia Radicals hero as to his politi
cal tutnre in reference toState and national
politics. He pronounces their utterances
and prophecies in reference to himself—
which I noted in a letter of recent date—
as “moat atrocious!. false.”
This is juBt what bis friends were anro
would be his response to these preposte
rous and insolent assumptions, making
due allowances for the desperate condition
of the recklres and unscrupulous political
gamblers, who attempting to keep them
selves afloat by means, such as these, ii
seems almost incredible tbat they should
attempt to bolster themselves up by such
desperate devices and audacious mirrep
resentations. A. W. B.

of stagnant water end foal slime, exhal
ing pestilential odors, and poisoning the

down ia many of tbe streets and filthy
alleys aid to spread infection. The old
municipal government, which has ceased
to exist on account of the repudiatore’ de
vice of repealing the oity charter in order
to escape payment of debts, was utterly
inefficient in its sanitary department;
and although the government has fait

dreadful ecourgo of 1878. Its streets
have not been cleaned, nor its house*

The Worldts correspondent writes that
the local authorities are inert and

ures now, and when spring comes it wil]
be even more dangerous to stir up the
filth than to let it alone. At Grenada,
