Logan on the Crisis Sherman on Demo.


WE publish to-day an abstract of a remarkable
speech by Gen. John A. LOGAN, delivered at
Salem, H., on the 4th instant The meeting
at which it was delivered was one of the largest
ever held in tie West, the number of persons
present being estimated at over 10000. Besides
General LOGAN, there were present and made
speeches, General w. 7. SHERMAN and General
OGLEsBY, Governor of Illinois.
General LoGAN's speech is remarkable for the
power and directress with which it presents the
main points of the present political campaign
It's logical force and its fiery earnestness have
seldom been excelled.
General SHERMAE's blunt avowal called out
during the progress of this meeting that he
neueT ao0s Democrat, will be rather damper
TO the tricky, scheming leaders of that party.
They have been trying very hard to create the
impression that he belongs to their crowd.
Nothing would crafty them so much as to be
able to prostitute the name and fame of some
one of our country's great military heroes to
the base ends OF their party purposes. But
they will have TO count SHERMAN out. He
never belonged to them, and he now has no
sympathy with them. However our Democratic
friends can solace themselves with the refec-
ton that SHERMAN would have been rather un-
dVhlldDle duNuOWs IhC OhiSl oiCuSLu VI Tue
Democratic party is in the Rebel States, and no
Federal General is so thoroughly erecrated in
that quarter as SHERMAN is. They never
can forget that march of his from
Atlanta to the sea, and from Savannah
to Fayetteville. To this day all that is hateful
in the idea Of Federal power and authority-all
that is bitter and blasting in the memory of
their ''lost cause" is summed up in the single
name, SHERMAN" Hence, while he might have
been of some use to the Democratic party in
keeping up its mere organization in those
Northern States where it only has "a name to
live" in the South, where the real strength OF
the party is, he would have been nothing more
than a dead weight
As the Democrats are SO put to it for military
leader, why don't they hke up General ROBERT
u. LEE2 He might not run we'll in Pennsyl-
vania, but he certainly would in Virginia. He
might lose New York, but he would carry
Georgia. He would be unpopular in the North,
generally, it is true, but the Democrats stand a
very poor show Apr carrying the North, while
they can count 4 4on the South.
GRANT has nothing in common with the Demo
crats; SHERMAN turns his back upon them, and
says, 'IpeVer was democrats" Little Mac has

The Tariff Bill Postpened.

The Tariff bill was yesterday referred to the
Senate Committee on Finance, with instructions
to report on the second Monday in December
next. This action was not altogether unex.
pected, the bill as it passed the House being
really satisfactory to nobody.
1t was adopted rather as compromise be-
tween conflicting interests, and doubtless with
the expectation that it would be extensively
amended IN the Senate. Some features had
been fastened upon it by the enemies of the
measure TOR the express purpose of defeating it
or rendering it odlous.
We should have preferred immediate action
upon this measure by the Senate, but the post
ponement will cause delay of only a few
months, and may result in a more satisfactory
bill when it shall be finally acted upon.

Political DnnIicitv.

HOW long VIII our conservatives have the
etlrontery to harp upon their devotion to the
principle of "No taxation without representa-
ton" They are not in favor of that principle
now, and they never were in favor of it. They
are not in favor of its application here in Penn
sylvania nor are they in favor OF its application
at the South. Their pretended devotion to it is
a fraud, and nothing less. They know perfectly
wen that tens of thousands of dollars In taxes
are paid by colored citizens of this city and
State, who have no representation and who
never win have any if these Democratic political
sWindlers can prevent it. The same is true all
over the South. Let us hear no more of this
principle" from such a source. sa

Organized Incendiarism.

WE had hcped that with the defeat of the slave
power, an end had been made to all attempts at
incendiarism. While the war was in progress,
the desperation of the Rebels might cause
efforts at the destruction of the prosperity OF the
North, but that any Northern man would be so
base as to deliberately undertake TO bring
poverty on the community by firing mills or
public buildings, seemed to us Impossible. Tet
after cooly weighing the facts which have come
to our notice in regard to The burning OF the
mills at Frankfort yesterday, the conclusion is
unavoidable that it was but one step in an
organized system of incendiarism, having for its
object the destruction OF all the vast cotton mills
situated on the Frankford creek and in the
vicinity. Some weeks since the proprietors of
several OF the mills received anonymous letters,
telling them that it was the intention of certain
parties to destroy every mill but one located in
that vicinity. No notice was taken of the
threat, however. In a few days GARsED's mills
were mysteriously destroyed, under circum-
stances which left but little doubt but that it
was wilful effort, and not an accident. The
alarm then spread among the owners, and of
late constant watch has been kept, both night
and day, on all the mills. No less than three
attempts have been made to fire various mills
discovered in time, and the property saved.
The mills which were destroyed yesterday have
had two unsuccessful attempts made on them,
but the vigilance of the watch prevented the
danger in time. Yesterday, however, according
to what seems to be reliable account, the fire
was ignited in two places, and the total loss OF
81, 500 900 was the result. While the flames were
in progress, two other mills we're fired in differ
ent parts of Frankfort, but by timely aid were
saved.
From what has been said, there can be little
doubt but that an organized system of lncen.
diarisIu has been originated, the object of which
is to turn what is now fourishing manutactur-
ing locality INTO a desolate ruin. That it is
matter of small consequence to the villains, in
the furtherance of the scheme, whether human
life is sacrificed not, proved by the fact that
the operatives were at work in the mill destroyed
and that, in order to save them, some had to be
thrown from the third story upon sheets held to
receive them. Regardless of the interruption
of travel, the incendiary fired the mill SO near
the Trenton Railroad bridge that it required
every exertion of our gallant f:emen to save
the structure.
We would call the particular attention of the
Fire Marshal and the Police Department to what
now appears TO be deteruined scheme. The
utmost vigilance will be required to save the
remaining mills and capture the author of
this destruction. When the scoundrel is de-
tected. there is no punishment which is too great
for the wretch who would endanger hundreds
of human lives, and destroy millions of dollars
worth of property, in order to crafty a petty
spite, or vent personal malice.

Not So.

A DEMOCRATIC contemporary asserts that the
postponement of the Tariff bill was secured by
radical votes. 1t would be nearer the truth to
say that 1t was secured by conservative votes.
In favor OF postponement we find DooLitRe,
Daois, Guthrie, Hendricks. Johnson Norton,
Riddle, and salisbury, all conservatives, and
sufficient had they voted against the postpone
ment to have defeated it. 1eAe radicals divided,
but the conservatives, almost in body, voted
for postponement.

Organization OF the Austrian and the
Pruasian Armies


THE universal interest felt in the progress of the
war in Europe renders II important that a correct
idea be given Of the organization of the contend
ing armies. The dispatches seldom go into
details so far as to give the numbers engaged,
but merely speak of the number of battalions,
brgades, divisions, and corps. We will give our
readers general sketch of the military arrange
ments of both Austria and Prussia so that they
can at once figure up for themselves the size of
each army engaged in conflict.
Let us look first at that of Prussia. The king
IL de fdoto commander.in.chief, with staff of
eight general officers as aldes.de.camp, four
generals Ia suite, and ten field officers. The
grade of general officers consists Off
Field-Marshal.
Colonel General of Infantry
Master.General of Artillery.
General.
Northumberland.
Maior-General.
The size of the army is, in the infantry
arm:-
Standing army 1A9ss men
Iandwehr I08 2l6
Reserve GAG
Total 3s3,34O "
The cavalry consists of total of 65, ,O24 men
with 24OO officers, while the artillery amounts to
$4,000 men and 792 pieces. These armies, with
other smaller bands, make total 1850 900 men
in the Prussian army.
In the number of men needed to fill up an
organization. they have none of that doubt in
regard to the actual size which existed in our
own war. Every battalion is kept constantly
full to the required number. This is SO through
out the ranks.
An infantry battalion consists of 1909 men.
a cavalry squadron of $50 men; an artillery
battalion of l9Omen, and 8pieces OF artillery; an
artillery regiment OF 2l0O men and SS pieces
of cannon.
SO much for the Prussian forces. When we
see that there are eleven battalions in fight we
may be sure that there are II, 1922 men engaged
in the contest.
The Austrian army consists of over 100000
men, classified as folows:-
Infantry 4S9 600
E@tIiGy Srtiiiryyv 6z'OOO
Total 6O8,OOO
The officers of the superior grades consist Of
Field-Marshal
Feld-Zeugmelster.
Feld-Marschal Lieutenant.
Major-General.
Colonel.
An Austrian battalion of infantry consists of
1902 men, brigade of 400S men, a division of
sole men. Such is the organization of the Aus.
trian army. From what we have said, it is easy
for any of our readers to make calculation of
the exact size of the forces engaged, which sink
into insignifcance compared with the hundreds
of thousands of soldiers engaged on either side
in our great war.

THE CANAL IMPROVEMENT

We learn that Mcs srs. Sanger, Steele & Co.,
contractors on the stone excavation In the
Canal improvement, hare made n good be
ginning On the great undertaking. They have
already reached, weeks ago, IN outlay of
nearly fifty thousand dollars in machinery
and preliminary preparations Tor attacking
the rock. Just at present they arc delayed
by impcrfection In their dams, which let In q
large amount OF wnter, their pumps
proving Of too small capacity to keep the
works free. Both evils nrc being rapidly
disposed Of, snd there Is no reason to donbt,
from present appearances, that the share of
the rock work assigned TO the present winter,
onethird OF the whole anaount, will be finish
ed before the opening OF canal navigation It
Will, Of course, be impossible to prosecute the
stone, excavation at any other time than
when the water Is drawn Oh. but this will, IN
lis turn, giro Messrs. Fox + Howard, con-
tractors for the carthwork the opportunity
to put their dredses In operation. These
latter gentlemen ore making extensive prepa.
rat,ons for busy md efficient seasons work.
Very little, II any, change will be made in the
present surface aspect Of the canal, It's banks
remaining nearly the same, but the slope of
the channel Will descend more stccply to give
the depth and width required to create tue
desired current In ourriyer.
Properly speaking this great work eau only
be indirectly called the ccnal enlargement,
for 1t has as its. main object, Of course, the
improvement Of the condition Of our river In
its relations to the health Of our city. 1t Is
this which makes It properly within the
sphere ef our Board Of Public Works to pat
