LOGAN. - Ex. United States Sena-
tor John A. Logan, of Illinois,
turned up In Washington the other
day, and stated to a correspondent that
Wisconsin was more certain to 20
Democratic than Now York. lie is
outspoken in his denunciations of the
Presidents civil service order, and at
tributes TO it wholly the Republican
defeats in Ohio and California, and the
Democratic victories which ho pre-
diets in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New
York and Massachusetts. lie says
the eighty thousand Office. holders are
not only not working for the Republi-
can party, but arc rapidly becoming
Democratic converts, from the convic-
ton that the Republican party is doom.

official heads is carrying favor with

NATIONAL DIsoRAcE.--Tho hughest
effort Of diplomatic fraud was the re-
cent attempt of the fraudulent Hayes
administration in sending Commis.
sion of diplomats after Sitting Bull, now
safely housed in British America, beg.
ging him to come back TO the United
States. The Commission had about as
much right to 60 upon British soil to
treat with him, as We have 10 enter
our ncighbors turnip patch and lay in
our winters supply. The ignorance
of the first principles Of diplomacy dis
played on this occasion by the Federal
administration is disgraccful in the ex.
treme, and must make Sitting Bull
blush for the agents Of his "natve
land"

HERDING CoNGREssMEN. - Most OF
our readers know how the Camerons
handle members Of our Legislature,
but this hcrding of our Congressional
delegation is new and alarming fea-
ture. Just the way Mr.. Cameron was
put on the boards and booked for the
Mission to England, is related by the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Times as follows: "Don Cameron
invited the delegation to his house,
and when there he asked those pres
ent to signify their wishes in the mat
ter. Judge Kelley spoke up timidly
and said something about Morton Nc.
Michael, but before he had chance
to say anything further, Harry White,
Don Cameron's stool-pigeon, nomina-
ted Simon Cameron. This scheme fell
like a bomb-shell in the midst of the
Republican delegation. They were in
Senator Don Camerons house and bis
guests, and could not demonstrate so
freely as if they had been elsewhere.
Before there was any opportunity,
however, for an expression of opposi
ton, Colonel Thompson, Hipplc-Miich-
ellis old law partner, burst forth into
a blooming culogy of Simon Cameron.
This was also pre-arrangcd. Then Don
Cameron asked White il be would put
this in the form of motion, and Mr.
White did so. Mr.. Cameron then ask
cd II there were any present who eb.
jected to the motion, and ;,ihc situation
! at this stage was very comical. There
was not man in the delegation who
had not some little postmasterships
and district appointments standing in
the Senate for confirmation, and the
objection of Don Cameron to any one
Of them would be to kill them, so no
one objected, although they were very
angry for having been brought into
this trap.

RADICAL WAILISos.-The Bangor
Wig, reported to be Blaines organ,
says: at is evident that the President
has reached the parting of ways, and
he must definitely decide whether he
is to walk with the Republicans or the
Democracy
The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Tribune writes to his
paper that "the President is for the
moment almost as much out of accord
with his party in Congress as Andrew
johnson was in the first year Of hi-
separation from the Republicans
The Washington Republican says
the Democrats are trying to secure d
portion OF the fruits of a Republican
victory" and pathetically inquiries
allow long oh, how long is this raid
to be tolerated by those who have th,
power to put stop to it at any mo
ment?"
There was no other motive or rea
son for the selection of the assortment
OF Liberals who went into the Cabine
with him than this-that they haC
worked with the Republican party on
ly after they had failed to break it "
by working against it, and only be
cause they thought it easier TO brcal
up the party from within than iron
without.--S Louis Globe.
The Springfield Republican, although
it supports Hayes, takes occasion t.
remind the Republican Senators ant
Congressman that their party at las
years election "failed to carry th,
country on the popular vote, and only
brought in tho Republican candidate
far tha Presidency by grass frnuds mn
der bayonet protection in Louisiani
and extreme State rights unde
threat OF civil war at Washington"
