low, of Tennessee:
"The Amendment has been adopted 10 the
" House, AZ to IL, 2 refusing to vote. All
right"
Thunder shouts Of applause greeted this
announcement. and after few other remarks,
Gen. Jno. A. Logan was introduced, and on
arising was greeted with long and enthusiasts
tic cheering. He said that at the commence
ment OF the war, there were but two classes
loyal men and traitors, and that he believed
it was the same now-only those two claSses.
When the war was being fought every loyal
man had but one plan-the suppression of
rebellion, and the punishment of traitors.
The first has been done, and the second ought
to be. What use has there been, said he, in
my fighting these rebels for the past four
years, if, when they have lost their hellish
cause, by being conquered, they are to take
their place as my political equal? If they
are to be allowed to do 50, then is there no
difference between the thief and the honest
man, only that the thief gets the money.
General Logan was greeted with an enthu>
siasm worthy his fame as public speaker and
his eminent military service. Throughout
hislong speech, of nearly two hours, he was
listened to with intense and unfagging inter
est. So much for an ertempore call. Wonder
if the Bread and Butter boys will arouse as
much enthusiasm at their coming Conven-
ton, at Philadelphia, that is being SO freely
ventilated and pulled in the rebel press
Guess not.
Weather quite Cool. Have been having
gentle showers for the past few days.
Tennessee was admitted yesterday, BY a
vote Of 125 to IL WArcHxAs.
