GEN. LOGAN AND IMPEACHMENT

GEN. LOGAN AND IMPEACHMENT, -
While the detection Of Senator Trum.
bu,! has cast a deep gloom over the
Republican party of Illinois, it is es-
pecially gratifying to the friends OF
freedom everywhere that we have so
earnest and able an advocate as the
one whose name heads this article
General Logan, from the first, has
been an earnest and constant friend
of the impeachment movement, and
by virtue of his leading position in
the House of Representatives was
selected as one of the Managers to
conduct the case against the wretch
ed apostate who diseraces the White
House. The magnificent majority
he received in 1866 indicates the con-
fdence which the people of Illinois
have in him, and we predict that his
consistent and unwavering support
of the doctrines of the Republican
party, and his great effort to bring q
greas criminal to justice, will con-
tribute as much to make his name
memorable as have the gallant vic
tories he has achieved on the fields
of battle.

ANTHONY TRoILoPE, THE Novelist.
Somebody may be interested in the
following extravaganza description of
Anthony Trollope, as he sat listening
to the Impeachment proceedings:
He sat doubled up like figure four,
leaning his great bushy beard on bis
arms, which rested on the railing il
front. He is strange looking per-
son. His head is shaped like a mimic
ball, with the point rounded down a
little, or like the half of lemon cut
transversely in two. 1t is small, al
most sharp at the top, and bald, in,
creasing in size until it reaches his
neck. The growth of his hair and
whiskers may give his head more the
appearance | have described than il
deserves. His face is red (sruddy' is
the English world, and his nose
shows an unmistakable brandy bios,
som. His complexion and general
bearing are much like Dickens and
he hes decided cockney air. His
body is large and well preserved
He dresses like gentleman and no
like fop, but he squeezes his small,
well-shaped hand into very small
pair Of corn-colored kids. He wears
a cane, as all Englishmen do.

sA- The Dodgevillc Chronicle says
S. w. Reese was elected President of
that village last week over William
Hendy. The village voted by 221 to
| to issue bonds to the amount OF
S18,0 in aid of the extension ofthe
railroad from Mineral Point to this
village. The result, on canvassing
the vote was perfectly astonishing in
view of the fact that so much had
been said about persons being oppos-
ed to the railroad, and predictions
had been made of large vote against
it. Another election is to be held on
the 10th, when the people Of the town
of nodgeville vote on issuing $4,000
more bonds.

mobbine Of Rev. II. c. Neal, few weeks
ago in -Blount county, and their allies in
Monroe county, have started petition to
Governor Brownlow, praying him to order
an election for District Attorney in the Sd
indicial circuit. The object of this move
ment is this: These fellows have somehow
or other learned that Colonel J. M. Thorn
burg. like an honest man, as he is, will
proceed to discharge his duty as an officer
of the State in the premises. We have
noted the conduct of Colonel Thornburg
since he has been in Office. By his co'irte-
sy and dignity of department, he has ae'
quired the respect and confidence OF the
bar. and by bis energy and ability in the
discharge Of his duty, he has secured the
confidence Of the people. This fact alone
is sufficient TO arouse the fears Of wrong
doers, and it is not to be wondered at, that
the Leaguers should seek to get rid Of
him. We don't know what the Governor
will do KnorpHe Press and Herald, March

Of Portland, on the 10th inst, the Demo-
Gratis made most gallant and determined
fight They increased their vote almost
four hundred, defeating the Radical candi-
date, and made gain Of eighty-two votes
since the first trial. Eight hundred more
votes were polled than at the preceding
election. Mr.. Mcclellan, the Radical can
didate for Mayor, lacked but twenty-seven
votes of an election on the ID inst, and on
the 10th inst, he was two hundred and
nine shsrt, showing a loss 10 the Radical
candidate Of one hundred and eighty-two
votes. The Democrats carried four Of the
seven wards over the Radical candidate,
and three over all. The Argus says
+" These remarkable gains of the Democra-

Congressman Lynch, can be better appre.

teen hundred and three-the Republican
majority then being eleven hundred and

question now goes to the City Council.
