TRUMBULL AND LOGAN.
There is, perhaps, no man 10 the West
from Eastern people to think more about
than Lyman Trumbull of Chicago he is
ffy-seven years old, native of Connec-
ticut, and he belongs to the old Trumbul
family. The original II ne of this family
is said to have been Turnbull. He is of
English descent and went to Georgia
early in life to teach school, and there he
was admitted TO the bar From Georgia
he removed to Illinois, where he began
to practice law. and as early as 1910 he
went to the legislature of the Prairie
State. Thirty years ago he was secretary
of the State of Illinois, and twenty-three
years ago a justice of its Supreme Court.
Although he was elected to the lower
house of Congress he never took his seat
but was made Senator before the time
came, defeating Abraham Lincoln by the
aid Of the anti -Lecompton Democrats,
and with Lincoln S endorsement. When
lincoln was applied to by the Republi-
cans and asked whether they should vote
f'0rTrumbuli, he answered Certainly
between Lyman Trumbull and any other
Democrat there can be no question. Do
not stop for me ~ Mr.. Trumbull has
been now more than sixteen years in the
Senate. At the head Of the judiciary
Committee he has had charge of all legis-
lation affecting the extinction Of slavery,
the question Of civil rights to the late
slaves, and the restoration of the Union

eGai children. He is about . feet inch

is believed to be without ambition to
pass above it. His colleague, General
Logan. is Of Irish descent, although born
in Illinois, and he was educated in Ken

full since he entered the Senate. His
colleague and himself stand nearly in the
same relation to the Federal administra-
ton, although it is said that Mr.. Logan
is now on very friendly terms with the
President They differ entirely on civil
service and similar questions, Logan hav
ing some notion that civil service will be
a terrible tyranny, and Trumbull behev-
ing that, as it stands, civil service is
terrible indecency. General Logan be-
came membersof the Methodist Church
and Trunbull is a Presbyterian. The
recently reported interview Of the repre-
sentative of q Kentucky journal with Sc
nator Trumdull is utterly without toun-
dation in fact.
