JOHN A. LOGAN

A correspondent writing from jackson,
Tenn, whose letter was published in the
TRIBUNE of yesterday, used the following
language concerning Gen. John A. Logan;
"Three days since paroled confederate soldier
suddenly concluded that he must go outside the
piekets. He got pass, and Is, undoubtedly. glE-
lrg Information to Jacksun's EueEluas, who are
hoverf1 E near. The result Of these proceedings
Is to produce much dissatisfaction among the
men. Such remarks as Logan ts q traitor ~
wish John 4. Logan wonld get killed or taken
prisoner are by no means Nnfrc4nsnt. But the
moral effect ie not the only evil result Of this
policy
We know nothing Of the transaction
here referred to, or Of the circumstances
! attending it, bu. we know enough Of Gen.
Logans character as soldier to warrant
us in dissenting entirely from the conclu-
sion that "Logan is traitor" OF that he
ought to be killed or taken prisoner,
We make this observation upon the above
paragraph, not that we are justly to be
held responsible for everything that oul
correspondents send US, but because W
will not have Gen. Logan's reputation suf
fer BY our silence in the premises.

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune
ST Paul, MINI July 81, 1869.
At no time was the intelligence aud pstri-
otikm OF community better represented than
in the convention held yesterday In this city.
Though representing hut one congressional
district, 1t was fair exponent Of Il great
party.
AT u o'clock the delegates assembled at
IngersoWs Hall aud at 8 o'clock, such WIS its
unanimity that the convention adjourned.
Hon. e. n. Burt was chosen president OF
the present organization. Hts address was
effective, asking of the party vigorous, set
i've and determined patdotism. : =.
The resolutions adoptea were Of a kindred
character. The Union must be preserved.
All means necessary, used; the war prose-
cuted with vigor; the administration sus'
tanned no guarding Of rebel property:
The confiscation act was hailed with pleas
ure as an evidence Of decided action. It was
| the tax laid at the root Of the tree" The
homestead bill was measure eminent1y wise
! aud the interetes OF the great West thereby
best suhserved.
The candidates were then nominated Hon
@. Smith and Lteut. Gov. Donnelly. 'Th'
name OF. ,he former was coon Withdrawn AMI
the latter was nominated BY acelamation. H

It is gratifying to the friends Of Quarter
master r, B. HATCH, that his vindication
has come at last, fully exonerating him
from the charges Of na1-administration in
his Office At the same time, it should be
stated that those who know the man have
never doubted, for moment, his perfect
integrity, in the midst of the grave accusa-
tions preferred against him. We reioice
