One For Logan

Among the Senators who wore opposod to the confinnation of Caleb Cushing for Chief-Justioe was Gen. John A. Logan, of Illinois. The pretext for the rejection was the lotter of introduotion which Cushing gave to an old friond, wbo wae going South, to Jefferson Davis, a few days before the war broko out, in which Cushing took tho Northern side. Logan, at that time, was bo much of a Southern synipathizer that ho offered to pay tho expenses of his brother-in-law if ho would go South and onlist in tho Confedérate army. At a politieal meeting at Carbondale, Illinois, his sister arose in thp crowd and aceusod hira of it, and dared him to deny it. This is ono of tho men - this rocruiting sergeant of the Southern Confederacy - who professed to be shocked by the course which Mr. Cushing pursued before the war. Tho war objeetion, from first to last, was a, pioce oí nypocrisy.
