GENERAL GRANT ON LOGAN.

Gen. Grant occasionally makes q good hit
on northern revoiutiouists as we'll as ne did
on southern rebels. Here il what he says Of
of Logan, and such men, as Ike him, were
disloyal. He says.
Vote only for those who were loyal in 1851.
Now in 1861, John A. Logan was making
speeches in congress in favor of southern
traitors aud against coercing them back into
the Union He was also denouncing Judge
Douglas for sustaining the war, and was aid
ing and encouraging men to 70 from South
ern Illinois to join the rebel army. Gen
Grant says, ''vote only fsr those who were
loyal IN 1861" Let all loyal men follow
such excellent advice. and vote against Lo
gan, and for Dickey, who. while Logan was
aiding the rebellion, was raising troops to
sustain the Union and put down the rebel
lion.

HE Is ELIGIBLE.

The disunion newspaper Published in this
city contends that Judge Thompson is not
eligible to seat in congress, and quotes a
portion of Sec. 10, of Art. V. of the oonstitu-
tuition of Illinois to prove it-as follows:
SEC. TO- The Judges of the
supreme or circuit courts shall not be eligible to
any other Office of public trust, profit, in this
sta te, or the United States during the term for
which they are elected, nor for one year there
after. All votes for either of them for any cleo
tive Office Except that Of judge of the supreme
circuit COURT given by the general assembly
or the people, shall be void.
The disunion newspaper is badly posted
Judge Trumbull was elected, by the republi-
cans, to the United States senate, before he
had been year out of the Office of judge of
the supreme court, and the question of his
eligibility was brought before the United
States senate, and it was there decided that q
member of congress was neither q state off,
Ger or United States ofioer-that he was
not an officer at all, but was q representative
of the people. Judge Trumbull was admitted
to his seat
Samuel s. Marshall, of this state, q Judge
of the circuit court, then in Office, tpreoisely
the case of Judge Thompson was elected to
congress, and the present radical congress
decided that he was eligible and he still holds
his seat and is a candidate for reelection.
This is precisely the case of Judge Thomp
son, and shows, beyond cavil, that he is elig
ible.
The disunion newspaper is badly posted
and displays its ignorance by asking the
question it has.

countries, and especially to Peru, by promises of
high wages and other Inducements. There is
reason to believe that these promises will not be
performed, and that the condition of the freed
men would not, in most instances, be improved
by the change. 1t is deemed to be the DUTY of
the government to prevent them by all legal and

We feel that we cannot too urgently I'M
press upon the Irish Americans the import
ance of being wary when they are listening
to radical overtures. The leopard changes
his spots and the Ethiopian his akin as read
lily as that party changes it's hatred TO Irish
Americans. Their love is hate they WOO
but to destroy. Treschery is their vocation.
We know them aud have known them for
thirty years, under all the names they have
sucoessively gone by and we place it on
record here that, in our deliberate judgment,
If, by aid OF the Irish A merican vote the rad
icals could be made secure of the 40th con-
gress, the election would not be two weeks
old before they would spurn their allies with
contempt uous sneers and kicks. Mr.. Thad-
deus Stevens, OF Psnnsylvania, is one of the
most bitter and revengetul Of the radical par
ty, but he 10. at the same tine, one of the
most hone est aud outspoken. He does not
disguise his contempt, but speaks right out
the thought that is In his min and the spirit
of the party, of which he is the leader. In
recent speech at Bedford, Pa, &c made this
startling confession
Il admit congress became demagogicdI in the
last hot days. when all manhood melted out of
everybody. They did some things to sednce the
fenians into ranks"
This is, at least, candid, even if 1t does
show that congressional action on the nsu-
trality laws was only dodge ito seduce the

Stevens continued In his speech, however, he

says II will be denounced by, among other

General Grants Views of Restoration.

. Conclusion Of General Grants report to
the President after tour Of inspection in the
south.
The following are the conclusions come to
by me:
| am satisfied that the mass of the thinking
men of THE SOUTH accept the present situation
of affairs IN GOOD FAITH. The questions
which have heretofore divided the sentiment
of the people of the two secsions-sLAvERY
AND STATE RIGHTS. or the right of state to
secede from the Union-thpy regard as hdrino
been settled FOREVER by the highest tribunal
Grms-thdt man can resort to. was pleased
to learn from the leading men whom | met
that they not only accepted the decision ar
rived st rs final, but, now the smoke of
battle has cleared away, and time has been
given for reflection, that this decision has
been q fortunate one for the whole country,
they receiving the like benefits from 1t with
those who opposed them in the field and in
the cabinet.
Ny observations lead me to the conclusion
that the citizens of the southern states are
dnrious to return to self gocernment WITHIN
THE UNION as soon as possible that while
ieoonstructing they want and require protec
tion from the government that they are in
earnest in sotshing TO do chdt they think is
required by the government, not humiliatlng to
them as citizens, and that if such q course
was pointed out they would pursue it in good
faith. 1t IS to be regretted that there cannot
be q greater commingling at this time oet,ceen
the citizens of the too sections, and particu-
larly those Entrusted iciM the la,omaking
