Iiyorcd in the Senate on the Louisiana

tive with Republican Senators and more
annoying to Democrats than any Of the
speeches that proceeded 1t, Logan was
one Of the fighting men OF tho war, and
hs is fearless debater in the Senate, In
his late speech he did not attempt to re-
Sist tho attacks mado by the Democrats,
but boldly assumed the aggressive, and
hurled charge upon charge upon the OPP
poneats OF the Administration, aud fol-
lowed them up by citations from the
records that kept some Of the Democrats
very uneasy. lIo charged that the de-
nunciation heard on this question in the
Senate was ior the purpose Of inaaming
the people against the Republican party,
which Aas been characterized as despoIic
and lyraunical By men who had received
