JOHN \. LoGAY.-Taere Is not an iqtc'li,
gent man, who is iniimateiy acquainted ,giih
John A. Logan, who is disposed to be candid,
can will not admit that the following fairly
represents the average intelligence Of the
Republican candidate for Congressman at
Large. 1t is taken from the Carlo cores
Pondence of the Chicago Times:
Responsible and well-known citizens Of
Cairo offer the following wagcrs to General
John A. Logan..s friends SO ;bat john i.
logan cannot name three revolutionary
generals; $40 that he cannot give the arne.
OF three revolutionary bartle-fells: SIO that
ne cannot name the IL original colonies: so
that he cannot maine the present states in
the union; $40 that he cannot name 3. incl,
battle IN which Gen Washington rers,.,a3r,,
participated; $40 that he can't rame the
three most p5pulOus cities IN the world $40
that he can't name the capitals OF 10 states
OF the union so that he cant compute the
Interest at I per cont. on $I6j for six weeks :
$40 that ne can't give the date. birth and
death Of Gen. Washington {; so that he can
not correctly punctuate his own signature.
and $40 more, that no man who is intimately
acquainted with Logan, dare accept any two
OF the above propositions.

Another Sfunncr,

The hardest blow radicalism has yet re-
ceived was dealt them by General Grant on
Saturday of last week. 1t was on the occa>
sioh when the committee of the Philadelphia
Convention presented officially copy of the
proceedings of that body to the President.
When the President received the committee
he invited to his side, to share the hOnors
and responsibilities of the occasion, such of
the members of his cabinet as endorsed the
action Of the Philadelphia convention, and
most conspicuous among them, on the right
hand of the President, stood General Grant.
He then, not only by his presence under such
circumstances, manifested his approval of
the proceedings, but otherwise Enthusiastically
showed lis approval Of the address of Hon.
Revcrdy Johnson, the spokesman of the COM
mittec, by joining heartily in the applause
with which it was received.
Could Gen. Grant, by any possibility, have
committed graver offense against radicals
ism) than this? Here we:e ''copperheaIs'
from Massachusetts and RECONSTRUCTED
rebels" from South Carolina. arm in arm,
standing before the President in tie White
House, not only p'edging him their support,
bat Gen. Grant ;aci'Iy joins in that pledge,
and these ''copperlea!s" and "red handed
traitors join in three hearty cheers for Gen.
Grant,
And this the Gen. Grant whom Thaddeus
Stevens promises, for his faitLfulness to rad
icalsm, to make the next President Of the
United States. He darcs 10 spnrn the bride,
and take his place by TIE side Of the traitor
Johnson" Verify, this country is coming
to a strange pazs,-when even Gen. Grant
shows disposition to pardon and ''recor-
s;ruct' rebels rather than bang them, as
they deserve.

the Directors has been called to be held At
Chicago on the Goth inst, next Thursday
THE object of this meeting doubtless is to
take immediate steps to raise the means and
put the road under contract. For this prr>
pose a call viii be ri:ade upon the various
towns through which it passes, to subscribe
stock Pursuant to the act of the legislature
authorizing such subscriptions with special
reference to this road.
This subscription by towns, cities, counties,
&c, seldom amounts TO more than mere
endorsement on the part ofsuch towns or cor
porations, rs the stock, if the road proves a
paying one, is always good for the debt Per-
haps for one OF two years, the towns mag be
called upon for assistance in paying interest
on their bonds, bnt beyond that the debt sell
dom troubles them.
The sacrifice the towns on the line of their
road will be asked to make, IS therefore. in
comparison with the benefits they will derive
from the road, the merest trife. There is

EEIe Address and RESOLUTIONS.

The Free Trader to-day is taken up with
the address and resolutions of the great
National Union Convention at Phiadel phia
and we lay them before our readers as the
best campaign material within our reach.
They were written by a man who lor years
stood at the very head Of the republican or
ganizalion in this country, who knows ITS
leaders, their hopes, aims and purposes, and
who k9ows thoroughly whereof he atiirms,
.ben, with such master hand he, portrays
their mad and reckless schemes. Looking at
Che radicalsm of the day as here depicted
and as it developed itself during the late
session OF congress, are firmly per-
suaded as We are of cur existence, that the
spirit which was so largely instrumental in
pluugiuc the country ir,o one dreadful civil
war, Is fully bent on pl-Dgirg tie country in
10 another still more bloody. and will succeed,
unless the party is hopelcssly routed at the
polls in the coming elections.

ton IS, whether they viii be able 10 drive the

supplying tLcrn with arms. The plea i. that

disiranchised bat IS the conservatives show
no bnckwar!uess about taking the test oath
the object Of i; (Which was TO make voters of
