Logan and washington City.


FUsBos LOGAN, quite in o rage ut the
Democrats of Washington city, gave notice
few days since, in the House of Represen-
tatiyes, that he intended to introduce q re-
solution for the removal Of the capital of
the nation from that city, on account Of the
:" disloyaltyn of its citizens. Being as
good as his word, he brought in his resolu-
ton, and the House at once "squelched !"
it. It is pity that LOGAN could not have
been squelched along with it.
The idea was ridiculous enough to have
emanated from LOGAN. He and his Co.
conspiraters against the peace Of the nation
had enfranchised the negroes Of the Federal
city, and the whites almost unanimously
voted the Democratic ticket. Not to agree
with LOGAN is to be disloyal " and toede-
serve punishment; and he makes the great
mistake of supposing that it is . punish
ment Of the people Of Washington to re-
move Congress- from amongst faem We
can imagine no greater blessing There
are GOWNS that never knew exactly what
sort of Q concern Congress Was that might
desire to have it within their limits. Yet,
however oyerWeening this desire might be,
we cannot imagine that any 1own would be
willing to receive Congress except upon the
condition that Logan should be left behind !!

An Enigma.

We are ut loss to understand the New
York World. It's late articles against dis
turbingthe statusguo Of the South as fixed
by Radicalism were looked upon as an
attempt to pave the way for the nomination
of Judge CHASE by the Democrats sort
of preparation deemed by the great body Of
Democrats utterly uncalled for. And now
that paper of Monday declares that as
Chief Justice CHASE regards negro suf-
"frage as q blessing instead Of an afro
scious, though perhaps inevitable, blunder,
"we donot see how he and the Democratic
aparty can have any bond of fellowship"
The more the World says on this subject,
the more and more apparent it is that it
should be regarded as speaking alone for
itself, and entirely incapable of speaking
for anybody else.

caraessnesa. sMr. sHANKs, in: reply. de-
clsred that Under the high tax on Whiskey
9 g ringn had been formed which ha 'i
cheated .hs Government and the people q
the taxes on distilled spirits, and that the
money thus made had been employed IN
manipulating the very element fcongress)
which oush. 10 protect the Government. +
M. BuTLER General also pitched into into
tbe q ring !, heavily. He declared that no
man in the House believed that the tax Dill
could be passed the present session. Unless
the taxes on whiskey and tobacco were put
in separate bill, no alteration could be
made, and the frauds which had reduced
the revenue; from whiskey from thirty to
thirteen millions would go on. He pro-
nounced the Committee on Ways and i Means Mean

In the course ofahiss (BUrLER's) speech
