AT HOME,-Thea unfortunate engi-
neers, John and Robert Ray, who
were on the David White at the time
of her explosion, arrived at their
home in, this city yesterday morning.
Both were injured, to a greater or less
extent, but John the more serious.
1t was stated that at the time of the
explosion he was in the !" Texas" and
by the explosion was so covered and
fastened in the debris of the wreck
that it was impossible, in his injured
condition, to extricate himself. In
this situation, writhing with pain, he
was found by parties from shore, who
had come to the exploded craft in a
skiff. He begged for assistance, but
was refused help or safe conduct to
the land unless he paid the exhorbi-
tant price of fifty dollars for the
service. Fortunately his brother,
Robert, was able to assist him, and as
soon as his whereabouts were ascer
tanned, he was released from the fear
full situation, and both at last reached
the shore. It is stated that John is
badly injured internally, and it is
feared the most serious results may
follow They lost all they had in the
way of clothing. The story of the re-
fusal, on the part of those visiting
the wreck, to render assistance, looks
Incredible. That any human being
could be so heartless does not seem
probable; but the gentleman who
furnished the information was salts
fed of the truth of the statement.

PROSPECT OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR
THE COMING SEAsoN.-It is a fact,
which has already been stated, that
the coming season will be one unpre-
cedented in the history of the city in
the way of improvements, public and
private. A greater number of houses
viii be erected this season than was
ever before known in one summer
at least that is the opinion of master
mechanics who claim to know. From
present appearances, the mechanics of
this city will have an abundance Of
labor to perform, and no man who has
the will and the ability need be out Of
employment the coming summer.
At present there are brick enough,
it is said, to meet the demand till the
new bricks are burned. During this
summer no less than seven brick yards
will be operated, and at least fourteen
tables employed; but it is hardly prob
able that even that number of yards
and tables will supply the demand as
the numerous improvements advance.
1t is certain that the prospect TOR me-
chanics of all kinds and for laborers
in this city is the most Aattering, at
least as far as plenty of labor is con-
cerned; and there is little doubt but
the wages will be excellent.

WHY DEMOCRATS HATE HIM.

The unrelenting war waged against
me by the Democracy is liable to be
misunderstood if looked at superfcially.
1t is not because, as has been suspected
by souie, l was a Democrat and anl one
no longer. Dying out as it has been,
slowly but painfully, for the last eight
years with the dry rot, that party have
become too much accustomed to see
men of sense withdraw their allegience
from it to make my instance a source
OF serious irritation. The true reason
which explains Che malevolence with
which they pursue me will be found in
the fact that while the recent war was
raging the honorable distinction was
awarded to me of having put to the

OPPOSITE ATTRACTIONS.

The recent rebellion while it was in
progress was led by men who belonged
to the same party to which the gentle
man from Brooklyn now belongs, and
the same party to which I belonged un-
til became SO thoroughly ashamed OF
it that left it, and is it not little re-
markable that the same disloyal stencil
which drove me out seems to have at
tracted my friend from Brooklyn into
it? Laughter.

THE SPEECH.

Mr.. SPEAKER: 1t was not my inten-
ton to have taken any part in this de.
bate, but | cannot get my own consent
to sit and listen quietly any longer to
such extraordinary speeches as have
again and again been pronounced on
this floor within the last few days. If
the wisdom Of the policy of excluding
from representation in this Hall the
South had ever cost me doubt, it
could never again cost me another.
More earnest advocates of their polit-
cal theories, and more eloquent apollo
gists for their darkest crimes, traitors
have not in the South or elsewhere than
they have here. A resolution bIotting
out the Constitutions of the United
States and of the respective States is
recommended by one gentleman, who
evidently means thereby to intimate
that in his opinion, at least, this House
had already destroyed everything like
fundamental law in the land, and tram
pied ruthlessly in the dust the liberties
of the people.
Mr.. ELDRIDGE. That is what l
thought and what | meant
Mr.. LOGAN. l so understood the
gentleman, and the thought occurred
to me at the time, sir, that it was strange
indeed, passing strange, that the gen
tleman did not discover during those
four fearful years of blood and carnage
through which the true friends of hu-
manity, liberty, the Constitution and
the Union had to pass to deliver them
from impending destruction who it was
assailing them then. Why did it not
occur to the gentleman, when mighty
armies of brave men, commanded by
skillful generals, were lowering in a
menacing attitude around this devoted
city, spurning our country's flag, mock
ing our patriotic professions, insulting
loyal citizens, ignoring private rights,
and perpetrating public outrages, that
the Constitution, the Union, and liberty
were in danger then7 Why does the
gentleman wait until the war is over,
the Constitution is no longer in peril,
and those who stood fast and firm near
it and by it, when its banner was
streaming on the breeze of battle, are
attempting to devise the most practical
BILE and polite means to restore at the
earliest moment to this whole land per-
manent and healthful tranquility and
prosperity Why does he wait for

NORTHERN ALLIES OF REBELS,
Speech of General John A. LO-
gan, i'm the House Of Keprescn.
d0tiVeS, in Reply 10 Mar. Robin
som, OF New AOrk.

While the House of Representatives
was considering the supplementary Re-
construction bill, Mr.. Robinson, a Cop
perhead member from Brooklyn, New
York, made speech OF fulsome eulo-
gy, both of the President and the guilty
rebels in the South, and dennnciation of
Congress. General John A. Logan, of
Illinois, replied to him in speech OF
great force and eloquence, of which the
following extracts will furnish a good
idea.
The following description of the i'm
preston made by Gen, Logan's speech,
and fine portrait of the General him
self, is from a letter by the Washington
correspondent Of the Worcester (Mass. }
Spy.
Gen Logan took the floor. We had
for the next hour an impaSsioned decla-
nation and defense of the majority Of
Congress, which set the blood dancing
as one listened, but which cannot be
criticised or described when the mag
netic glow has passed, through whose
influence the pulses rung to wild music,
and every nerve tingled with contagi-
GUS enthusiasm. Logan may not al
ways be compact Of words; always ele-
giant in construction of sentences, but
there he stands, born orator, living
near the popular heart, feeling its tu-
multuous passion coursing through his
own veins, and interpreting its earnest
thought in a flood of speech which
sways men as the wind does the summer
grass, or as often like the tornado rush
ing through the forest and crushing
among the boughs. Logan, with more
culture, would be great orator. Lo-
gan, as he is, is popular one, whose
words sway great masses, and the fire
Of whose eye, the flame of whose voice
will make men follow to great deeds
whether it be at the polls or on the
battlefield have picture of General
Logan in my mind, as he appeared once
when the tide Of battle surged heavily
against his divisions front, when the
guns Of the enemy moved great gaps
in its ranks, and when the brave boys
wavered and shook in that helish
storm; | can see the General as he ap-
peared dashing down the front of that
line bare-headed, the flowing black hair
foaming back like a neat plume, with
waving sword high overhead, with eyes
that fairly flashed, and appealing voice
that rung all above the thunder of ar
tillery, the scream of shell, and the dull
"thud' OF the battles roar, aud the line
Strengthened, the men cheered. the bay
onets surged forward, and the enemy
were swept back from the "coIgn Of
vantage" gained but a moment before.
That picture is supplemented by that
orator, defining the service rendered
then; rebuking the apoIogists for trea-
son then and now. and hurting back, in
words that were ''half battles" the same
grand and defiant radicalism which was
shaping itself in the bloody days at Shi-
loh, and which makes sacred the sacri-
fees at Pittsburg Landing. All | can
say is summed up in the camp vernacu-
lar, "BulIy for John A. Logan"
