'Mawworm Society,"" for we have bad til,

John a. Logan's speech at the Crosby Opera
House IN Chicago on Tuesday evening. |
any man, who processes a tenderness for the
rules of English grammar and rhetoric, vii
say that he has done as much without losing
his temper, be can have our knife.
John a. Logan, the Springfield Journal
tells US officially, was pot forward as the
Republican candidate for congressman at
large, lst. because he is a soldier; and ID,
on account of his unquestioned "loyalty.'
As there is no dispute about the first. for We
all know Logan was soldier, the speech
before US must illustrate the second branch
| Of his claim. Ges, this speech shows that
Logan IS loyal. He is boisterorsIy, carAor>
oCsly, severely and into!erantly loyal. His
loyalty is Of that immaculate cast that none
/ but his own peculiar sect can hope to attain
unto it. Il is So excellent thing that
though only small rrton of our people
can hope to attain to It, the government of
/ the country can never be entrusted into hands
/ less loyal. No repentance, no purgatIon, no
eXPiatiou can ever bring a former rebel, or
one who sympathized with rebels, up to the
standard Of loyalty that viii fit him again to
take part in the government Of the country.
I've tell the copperhoads this, says John \.
Logan, speaking Of admitting former rebels
or rebel y npa.hisers" to Congress-
"Wheucver we get out Of loyal men in this
country, then perhaps We will agree that you
may send q few of them III, but not before,
aud they must wait until We do il. As ion
a. loyal men can be found to govern it, dis,
loyal men shall not govern this county
That Is what sc say"
lie thinks it wo1lI be a great outrage to
1T Orr, Of South Carolina, come bacl. to
Congress; and as tJr Stephens. Of G4 it
shouli be unsafe in Chicago even to propose
admitting him to the senate

THAD STEVENS PROPOSITION FOR CoNGREs-
sIoNAL REcEss.-Thad Stevens and his radical
associates are not content with the mischief
already committed, but are now trying to force
Congress to take recess, subject to the call Of
the presiding officers Of the two bodies An
adjournment under such . resolution u the
same as an adjournment until the first Monday
In December, from the simple fact that the reso-
luton would be unconstitutional, and would be
30 declared by the courts. According to the
constitution, Congress must assemble at least
onoe year, and such meeting shall be held on
the 6rst Monday in December, unless they shall
by law appoint different day. To adjourn
without fixed date Is to adjourn until the day
fixed in the constitution. According to the
same instrument the President is the only offl-
cial that can call an extra session, and this
cannot be changed by the passage Of resolu-
ton to adjourn subject to the call Of the pre-
siding officers A session under such auspices
would be clearly illegal. To spend hours in
considering such a proposition is therefore
simply waste of time, and we ore surprised
that even Thad Stevens should give 1t a mo-
ment's consideration. It cannot amount to
anything If passed, and must Of necessity prove
dead letter. They had better finish the busi-
ness before Congress at once, and adjourn like
sensible mon. Precedence which they are try
Ing to establish in this way may some day
prove serious matter to the country.

SHEnNAN's SPrECHrYKG.-General Sher-
man, after establishing for himself a repu-
tation as great soldier, only second to
that of General Grant, by his famous cam
paign in the South and West, appears to
have entered upon another campaign since
he wont on visit to New England, which
does not promise TO win much credit for
him In his new line, a. IN orator. He has, In
fact, been making some rather silly speeches,
and therefore does not shine as brilliantly on
the stump as in the camp or on the march.
Soon after the war was finished General Shcr-
man evinccd disposition TO make speeches,
and we gave him little friendly advice to
dssist, which he took very gracefn'lyi but
since he has got among the New Englsnders
the cacosthes loqveadi seems 70 have taken

result Of General Scotts speeches and letters.
We do not like 10 see Gcneml Sherman's
laurcls impaired, for he il good old stick
for the Presidency one Of these days; but II
he continues making speeches he may use
himself up as effectually as poor Scott did.

JUDaE NEIsoNs DECISION AND THE BANxRRs'
AND BROKERS TAx-The phraseology Of Judge
Nelson's recent decision il 80 muddled that the
revenue officers have been Obliged to apply to
the United States District Attorney for its In
serpretaton. We publish elsewhere the letter
Of Mr.. Shook asking what had been decided,
together with the reply Of Mr.. Courtney and
his translation of the decree OF the Court
This letter will be found interesting to all
affected by this decision and those who are
anxious that all interests shall bear their pro-
portion Of the revenue tar. II seems that 1t
settles the point fully that all sales on commits
sion, whether by bankers and under bankers
license, or by brokers, shall pay government
tax. This is AZ 1t should be, and no doubt is
the law. 1t appears, however, from the expla-
nation given, that the revenue officers are not
to regard the points which Judge Nelson has
issued an Injunction upon, except so far as
they may affect the parties who brought the
suits and raised those points. When those
suits were pending before the Court the bankers
and brokers made . common cause-money
was subscribed to pay expenses, under the
idea that m injunction in ono crse would
apply TO all but Il now seems that It viii he
Of no avail except TO those parties who applied
for an injunction in their own cases
The Revenue Commissioner directed the sus-
pension Of the enforcement Of the law when
those suits commenced, and seemed to be In
great hurry to do It but we have not learned
as yet that he has taken any steps to secure
its enforcement now that the decision has been
rendered. Why this delays There is now
considerable back tax due the government, the
bulk Of which has already been collected by
the bankers and brokers from their customers,
and should be secured without delay. In the
meantime the new Revenue law is TO take effect
on the hrst Of next month, and IL is necessary
that old accounts should be squared mp In
readiness Tor The change But this law does
not release the obligations under the old law,
which are made prior TO that date. Other IN
terests are compelled to pay their full tax
under the present law, and there is no reason
why Wall street shall not The fact that the
new law reduces the tax on that class fur
nishes no excuse for the non-paymcnt OF the
back tax.
