speech OF Gen. John A. Logan.

This brave and gallant Union General
made a specch in Keokuk, Iowa, just be-
fore the late election in that State and
among other truths, he made use Of the
following, which we find Geographically
reported in the New York Tribune of o.
tober 9th:
This nation has passed through a sea-
son of sad trouble. This Is proved by the
four years war, by the wal debt, on onr
people, by the pensions, and the bounties
that we pay to the desolate homes and
crippled men in our midst, and by 800, 900
soldiers graves south Of the Potomac and
Ohio rivers. Some one is guilty /; who
has committed this treasons Has it been
the Republican party, or its members ;
Who can find the Republican or Adolf
ZIONIST, who, during four years war, fred
q gun or struck q blow against the Gov
ernments The Republicans invariably
were found in defense Of the Government.
The Republicans were not the guilty ones
who committed this treason. No, NO.
The speaker had belonged to the
Democratic party, but he quit that
party when it warred upon the Govern
ment. Every military or civil official in
the Confederacy was q Democrat JEFF.
Davis, John C. Breckenridge, Floyd, AL
sxandsr Stephens, and Gen. Lee. Point
to any man who held a prominent place
in the Southern Confederacy and you
point to a Democrat. There was q loyal
party in the Government, for the rebellion
has been put down. The Southern DEM
ocrats did not put it down, for their arms
and efforts were against the Union. The
Northern Democracy have not done it. AS
q Democrat he arrayed himself against
treason and traitors and joined the Union
Republican party. There are two great
parties-one loyal and one disloyal. The
Democracy are not the loyal party ; in the
South they were armed traitors; North they
were in sympathy with them the Repub-
licans were the loyal party, and with them
all Union men should net; he showed in o
clear and effective manner the injustice
that would DO done to the loyal States
without the proposed Constitutional
Amendment. That South Carolina, with
a voting population Of 10000, under the
present rule, would have eight Representa-
tiyes in Congress; while California, with
more than 100000 votsrs, would have but
Eve Representatives and voters in the
electoral college. That we demand it
shall be established, that the rebels shall
have no more power In the Government.
Tha, the loyal law taxation and repre-
sen.ation 20 together for loyal men, but
for traitors there is taxation without rep
resentation and they shall submit. After
q laughable account OF the Philadelphia
Convention and Of Reverdy Johnson's
speech to the President, and Andy John
sons reply, he particularly addressed the
soldiers with eloquence and touching
pathos. Spoke Of death as they have seen
it together on the battlefield; Of the hos
pital ; Of the loyal men and women who
helped them; prayed for them, and wept
over the graves at the South. The orphans
and widows at home they were bound to
cherish and protect; the stars and Stripes
under which they had marched, and by
which they were pledged to see that loyal
mon alone rule this country,

Terrible Effect Of my Policy"

Terrible Effect of "My Policy"
From thecoHespondence OF the Missouri Democrat.
NEW ORLEANS. LA, Oct. l, 1866.
May l present through your columns o
few remarks made during q trip through
the Souths Although I have travelled
over the South twice before this year. I
have not made any comment on the state
Of things. But the extraordinary state OF
feeling that now prevails among these
people really is worthy Of notice. My
journey usually lies through Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. I
meet with all classes Of people, high and
low, rich and poor, and keenly observe
the phases Of public feeling. It is sur
prising to me, after the fearful ravages and
misery caused by the late war, that the
southern men should not desire peace ;
but, inflated with Andrew Johnson's
policy, they breathe wal to the knife, and
the great majority firmly believe that
should the next Congress not at once ad-
NIT Southern Representatives" the
power Of the Executive, backed up by
Grant and the Federal army, will be used
10 dissolve Congress, and an election for
"my policy" candidates will be ordered
and the triumph will be complete. Such,
I pledge my word, is the prevailing opin-
ion. An ex.C onfedsrats captain said to
me in Vicksburg: "Let Andy blow his
horn and we will rally round and by "a
pine and devastation repay tho North for
what we have suffered"
Having been q resident Of this city be-
fore the war, / I'm we'll acquainted with
many old citizens; among the rest, DR..
Hine, who was SO badly used during the
late riots found him rapidly recovering
from two deep skull wounds, n stab in
the side and pistol wound. enough to kill
any man, but the Doctor has lived through
all, and is as firm as ever in the faith.
His best friends have advised him to leave
the city, but on that point he is obstinate.
The state of things here is very sad.
No Union man who dares to avow his
feelings is safe. Durant and Homer, who
| were also connected with the convention,
have given up their business and gone
North. In every hotel, on steamboat, car
or elsewhere, "war" is the talk. and the
term yankee implies all that is odious
and base. I was and am to-day, we'll in
clined to the Southern people, but l can
not disguise, for myself, the dreadful con-
ditlon Of affairs at the present time. 1
sincerely trust q kind Providence will
carry the nation safely through this crisis.
Business here is not very brisk. Cot
ton comes in slowly, there being difficulty
in collecting the tax which has to be paid
before shipment. The crop will not be
over one million bales, the overflow, rain
aud worm having done serious damage.
The crop Of sugar is estimated at 10000
to 100000 hogsheads, and enough plants
! will be retained for increased crops next
| year. There is q large amount of build
ing going on, and rents are very high, and
| the demand for stores, Offices, &C., are on
| the increase. Yours, SC. SAXON.

The AssBssoRsHIP.-The Bigler and
Avery contest for the United States As
sessorship remains in statu quo. It was
rumored on the street yesterday that d.
rections had been received from Washing
ton BY Bigler to refer the matter in dispute
to the United States District Court. In
the meantime 1t should be remembered BY
all who have business with tho Assessor
that all of Avery's deputies hold their
commissions from Washington, that their
successors have not been appointed or
named, and therefore their official acts are
all legal and binding, whatever may be
the hual result Of the contest between the
two principals. Sac. Union.

The APPOINTMENT OF WV. B. THORN
BuRo.-Ths San Francisco Fzsy alludes to
tho appointment Of Thornburg to the Of
fee Of U. 8. Surveyor General for this
State, in the following plain terms:
A johnson has struck another blow at
freedom, by appointing to the office Of
Surveyor General. Of Nevada, William B.
Thornburg. He is a native Of Virginia,
and an original secessionist, and has never
voted Q Union ticket in his life. His SEN
timents and his sympathies, his talk, votes
and acts, from the beginning OF the rebel
hon to the present time, have all been in
favor Of treason and against his country.
Though this conduct on the part Of Sis
Accidency seems hard to bear, yet eyery
appointment Of this kind gives fresh vital
nv and strength to the Union party. and
IiIl ia the end 50 utterly overwhelm
johnson and his traitor cohorts as to place
The cause Of freedom and equal rights on
a basis as arm and immovable as the laws
Of nature or the everlasting bills.

ALIKR.-The resemblance between An
drew johnson and John Tyler is getting
stronger every day. The same system Of
universal chsatery by Accidency; the
same gathering Of corrupt politicians at
Washington ; the same rewards to sdven-
turers without influence or character, and
the same open expressions Of contempt for
the man who consents to be alternately
hsttsred and fooled.

We are earnestly dssirous Of recognizing
every loyal movement in the South, but
when we find the Legislature Of Texas
opposing a candidate for United States
Senator upon the ground that he was loyal
to the Union in 1861, and declaring that
no one should be elected who did not
sympathize fully with the rebellion, we
cannot think that Texas should be trusted
10 help make laws for the United States.

III the man who gave his means to de-

is also stated that within the past three

Me, well executed, have been passed upon

1t has been stated that Europe holds
about $780, 100000 of the $50 bonds of the
United States, which are marketable and
saleable with equal facility in Europe and
the United States; and, owing to this fact,
says the New York World, they are practi-
cally Z certified checks for specie on the
United States, payable, on presentation, in
gold" To show how the power thus given
to Europe is welded to the disadvantage of
this country, the World states that the New
York banks, before the war, held usually
from twenty to forty million dollars of spe-
Gle, and from May 10 to June % of this
year the exports of specie to Europe were

would the New York banks have been on

of gold like this, obtained chiefly from the
sale of Europeans $40 bonds in this mar
ket? Thefollowing table gives the amount
of specie shipped from New York for the
