T.— Logan is a gloomy man at best, but now-a-days be ia a very glum speotmen of tbe disgruntled statesman. He gets a certain grim satisfaction out of the defeat of Blaine, but it ia not so complete as to shut out a gnawing pain as he thinks of the cold charity of the world, upon which be must soon throw himself. On March ( next for almost the first time tinoe tbe Mexican war, Logan will bo without an office, tor ] think ho understands that hi re- election, even by a Republican majority : in the' Illinois nlegisla ture, made tip *s it n9<r is, is well nigh impossible. Logan does not give bis birtb date in bis autobiog raphy, bnt he informs its that be was a quartermaster in tbe war with Mexico. Presumably he was then 20 years old, which would in dicate that/or at least 40 years he has beeti on the 1 pay roll of either the State or the Federal govern ment. Such a long experience rather unfits a man for earning bia living on his own book in tbe sharp competiona of modern life.

The Logans are greatly troubled about their boy.Manning, who waereoently practically dis missed in disgrace from the Mili tary Academy. In his rough, un couth way, Logan loves the boy and had builtgroathopes upon his admission to West Point. .

The pay Is more than twice as great for services rendered tbe government as it is for like services done the Slate. The Atlanta post office for instance is paid five hun dred dollars a. year more than tbo Governor gets. Tbe District At torney gets $C,000 a year and tbo Marsh U gets five or six thousand and so on. The Treasurer, Comp troller General, Secretary of State and officers of like oatiber get from the State only two thousand a year. It will pay a man whole entitled to "spoils” to come in for a sharo of tho National gruel rather than to hang on for Slate office;, If Captain John W. Nelms is made Marshal it is said Mr. Harry Hill, a rich young conductor on the Georgia Railroad, will be a candi date, for the Offiee of Principal Keeper of tbo Penitentiary. Hill baa a fortune of $50,000 left him by bis grandfather, and his friends laugh at him when he saya ho is a candidate for tho office named. rBSNOIS MOULTON IN ATLANTA. Tbe death of Francis Moulton, our mutual friend, recalls an inci dent that oocurred here during the Cotton Exposition, when ^oulton was in Atlanta. A number of gen tlemen took him in obargo, gave him a wine supper, plied him with intoxicating toddie9 and tried every devioe by which they could hope to loosen his tongue, trusting thereby to get the truth of the Beecher scandal. But amidst it all Moujton never lost his head f and when sitn-np came the party, gave Moulton made a speech at the exposition. He was a man pf more than averago size,'fat and careless ot his personal appoarauco. CLEVELAND’S INFLUENCE. An Elbortnn man has written to Major D. O. Bacon, the Goorgia Commissioner to tho New Orleans Jotton Exposition, stating that lie ' as some rare curiosities that he wishes to exhibit at New Orleans. One is a negro who has turned white since Cleveland's election, and another is a negro who is de scribed as a creature who has solved tbe problem ot evolution, and is probably the missing link. Tho men wants Major Bacon to secure a place for his curiosities to be exhibited. Dnljr cl-marlng for a IUIIMmI.
