the preamble, and voted to lay it on the table.
Mr.. CARPENTER then addressed the Senate at some
Mr.. LOGAN Rep.. nl) followed. He again denounced
Mr. Summers attack slanderOus and mali gnant, and
without just foundation. The argument Of Mr. Sumner
that Gen Grant having been educated as military man
could be successful civilian, argument that

govern tnis country was false and mr. Logan could
prove i Mr. Sumner had stated, further, that when
