the Southern people. How did he Cypress
them?
When the KuKlux were tried and convicted
he pardoned them. Some of the men who
fought against the Government he sent abroad
on foreign missions, others he put in the de-
partment here. He did all he could to re-
concile them. For these acts he was arraigned
here as Cesar, as tyrant, as an oppressor

South should quit their every day chivalric
sports of cunning for negroes and Republi-

it was strange to see Logan defending the

He Uogan) did not think it strange; he
might disagree with the President when he
believed him to be wrong, but when such
charges were made against him as had been
made here, he would stand here from the rise

these Southern States.
He Uogan) would appeal to every honor
able man who fought against the country, if
there was honor in doing it, to verify what
he said in defense of President Grant. He
had built no prison pen for Southern sold
iers, nor provided any dead line upon which
to shoot them. When he captured the whole
Democratic party of the South at Appomat-

horses and gave them provisions. t

When the Democratic party was dead and
rotten in its grave, the memory of Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan would shine in the
hearts of the American people like the noon

Resuming his argument, MIR. Logan said
The Republican party should not be fright
ened. The President had recognized the
Kellogg Government; the Legislature of the
State had recogeized it, and the Supreme
Court of the State had recognized it, but only
one house of Congress had recognized it.
Now the duty Of the Republican party was
plain. Let the other branch of Congress re-
cognize it, recognize the man elected as Sena-
tor, and all would be settled. Some people
would say this was q strange position f + him
uog my to take, but there was no other left
for him. s-4ta s.itH4
9Itwss the right position, and he took it De-
cause it was right. 1t had been said that the
Republican ship was sinking, but with the
great mariner above at the helm she would
not be wrecked. He (Logan) could look over
the broad ocean of commotion to-day and see
that the time would come when the same old
craft would ride the tempestuous waves and
the shores Of honesty and justice and there
rest undisturbed. -.a...
At the conclusion of his speech there was
quite demonstration of applause in the gal |
lery, but the Vice President announced that |
the rule would be enforced and restored |
order.
Mr.. Upton, of Nebraska, said he felt graft |
fed during the Senator's address, that he
Mr.. Logan) never went into the rebellion,
rs he would have been great power against |
the country.
He also felt happy to think that Demos

When he saw the hor orable Senator from
New York (Conkling) frequently prompting
he Senator (Logan), he (Tipton) was con-
sold with the reflection that, after the 4th of
March next, that Senator would be check
mated in this body by Democrat.
The honorable Senator from California

Mr.. Sargent-Will the Senator allow me?
Mr.. Tipton-The Senator cannot hear the

The Senator is making speech at the pres

Resuming, he said: So the honorable Sena-
or from Minnesota (Winden) felt it necessary {

From the length of time this vessel had

The Honorable Senator from Wisconsin, Z

ship and that he was going down with the t
hip. He (Tipton) did not doubt his veracity. I
ie thought that was fact. Great laughter. t
lfter the Senator from Illinois had put in t

Mr.. Upton then spoke of the Louisiana e
if6culties, and said he had copy of the b

enate two years ago. One of the witnesses, Il
