rhe Stevens Point Wis. Piney relates
the following interesting personal incident
that occurred during the sitting of the
Chicago convention: @
Among the "loil' delegates to the Chica
go convention was red hot one from Ar
kansas, between whom and Hon. James s
Young, Of this city, recognition took place
as surprising on one side as Il was disagree
able on the other. Mr.. Young saw and re-
cognized the ardent "loil' delegate as for.
rner notable guerilla bushwhacker, who Mr.
Young had assisted in capturing in Arkan'
sas during the war. The following CONVEX
sation took place between them: -a
Mr.. Young-You are from Arkansas,
believe.
Delegate lpompously)-Yes, sir, am one
of the loyal delegate. to the national repub
hcan convention.
Young thought knew you. l saw
you during the war.
Delegate ALARMED Where
Young-When was in the Union army
you was rebel prisoner of war;yI helped
| TO take you.< ~ $500
The hypocritical advocate of "loiln negro
equality stood dumb with amazement for a
moment. and then broke through the crowd
like o quarter horse, for refuge amorp his
| radical con freresswhere the test of loyalty is
| lip service and negro equality.
Could more striking case be presented
than this of republican inconsistency. Mr..
Young passed through long and honorable
service in the Union army. and is called a
copperhead because he votes against militia
ry rule and niger suffrage. While this reb
el bushwhacker, who fought us, and now,
for the sake of Office and spoils, joins the
radicals and shouts for negro equality, is
called not only loyal, but is a delegate to the
radical conventions.

Mccullough was, "Gen. Logan's recommen.

the applicant" He had gotten q friend in
IN inferior position under Rollins A few
aays after Leans return from Chicago,
where he failed to defeat colfax, Rollins
discharged his friend before his friends
work in the department had been completed.
"A few days since, Commissioners Wells, IN
speaking of Logan, remarked to a promi-

retaries would efEectually kill the applica.
ton. So the only way now in which men
from Illinois have any sight a. the white
house is 70 say that Logan is opposed to
their appointment. Logan is o candidate
for Yates place in the senate, and thinks he
is making headway therein by telling people
that Yates depends on Trumball's friends to
reelect him. In response to which Yates
replies, "And on whose friends does Logan

NATIONAL CAPITAL AT ROCK ISLAND.

By way of making little political capital
for the coming eampaign,and also to punish
the citizens of Washington for the recent
Liking" they gave the RAIDS on the negro
suffrage question, that prince of humbugs,
John Logan, tried TO introduce resolution
in congress, few days ego, for the removal
of the national capital. The preamble sets
forth that, the unregenerated and the not
"trooly loir abound in Washington; that
on account of the numerous factions that
prevail there and the bloodthirsty character
of the inhabitants, it has became very IN
healthy place for congress to meet; that il
is important for the capitol of the nation and
the archives Of tie government TO be in 0
place wholly secure from foreign invasion ;
that the seat of government should be easily
accessible by lines of railway, and should be
located in populous region; therefore
Resolved That a committee of FIVE members
be appointed by the speaker to inquire into the
propriety and expectancy of removing the seat
of the general government from said city Oh
Washington to point near the geographical
centre Of the republic, and that said committee
be authorized at any time to report by bin or
otherwise. "a keHH =
The house snubbed Johnny, and, BY o
vote of e. to 43, refused to permit him to in
troduce his little piece of humbug.
The Davenport papers seem to be under
the impression that the resolution was re-
ceived, and express the opinion that their
city is qualified TO lay in claims for the dis
tlnguished honor, but Rock Island is evf
IDENTITY the point, with the best chances OF
being chosen. The beautiful Island which
will soon tower with arsenals, the fine fish
ing grounds surrounding US on every hand,
the generous dispositions OF our sher:ffs, the
ease with which our Jail can be cleaned Of
its inmates, the enterprising character Of our
board Of trade, and its exceeding power and
influence, the exceedingly loyal character of
ourpopulation-
CAN these and forty reasons mora"
substsntiate our claims. But we don't want
the capital located here. II would be d
standing nuisance Some of our people yet
retain a tinge of that integrity of which our
forefathers Justly boosted, and we most
seriously object to having any such eor-
rupting machine as the nationa, capital with
its rump congress, located in our midst
We suggest that the board of trade take &C
ton on the matter Immediately.

| The worst used-up man In congress to day
