large party Of excursionists on board
the brave steamer Knapp left Saltwater
yesterday morning for Taylor's Falls 10
view the great jam Of logs which formed
in the st Croix dalles Monday. AT this
time, when all OF the available logs in
the st. Croix have disposed Of, the
lumbcrmen have been waite hing with
feverish interest the movement Of this
jam, and specializing upon the proba-
bility Of speedily breaking il mp. The
jam is the largest which has formed ut
this point since the one Of fifteen years
ago, when thirty million feet Of logs
were wedged together into one huge
pile. only to be broken after several
weeks labor. In last years jam there
was about ten million feet, but the river
was much higher. and the logs were
lower down than now, 50 that il was
broken in few days The present jam
extends from the dalles up TO the new
flourng-mlll. over one-half mile.
How it was formed is stated by a resi-
dent, who watched the movement Of the
logs as they combined into this mass, as
follows Just below the bridge l. a
large eddy, and rs the logs came over
the rapids they are taken into this eddy,
thence swept 70 the other shore, where
they accumulate and impede the prog
ress II the logs behind and form into
jam, commencing at the foot of the
dalles, where the turn in the river
forms a right angle. The logs in
the jam are from the Totogatic,
I.ex~ MI
az o'clock in the afternoon the logs
got into almost inextricable shape. Aid
was n once sent for, and Tuesday, after
picking the logs from the center, about
three hundred thousand feet started and
lloated down stream. while those com
Ing after formed into another jam in the
dalles in the place Of those which had
just before noated out. Another snc-
cessful haul was made yesterday after
noon, and at least six million feet more
rushed down the bridge rapids into the
water below. These logs will be picked
out up To the bridge the same a. the

going many miles to see the swift cur
rent sweep the large logs, in vast num-
bers, as the drivers succeed in starting
the jam. Asto the numbcrof feet Of logs
i'm the jam, even men who are accus-
TONED to making such estimates widely
differ. Some regard the jam to contain
fifteen million feet, while others place y
as high as thirty million. Of course y
il only matter Of speculation when y
will be broken, ms the logs are running
in almost as fast as coming out. u wiil
be four or five days probably AZ the
earliest, and possibly II may be two
weeks. In the meantime the reports
will be anxiously waited for by the lum-
bcrmen as TO what Roadway IS being
made. The river has fallen two inches
since the forming Of the jam.

Ra,ney Of South Carolina, has just arrived in Wash
iugton lie says the National or Greenback party
movement Is not known in South Carolina. There
is nothing TO disturb the equanimity Of either the
Republican or Democratic party in this direction.
The colored Republicans are organized all over
the State, except in Edgefeld County, where they
have been told that no Republican organization
will be allowed to exist. Mr.. Rainey says that
Governor Hampton's administration has been
criticised by some Of the whites of the
middle class who claim the Governors rule
TO be wholly in the interest of tho
arstocracy Of the State. His course, Furthermore
does not meet with the general approval of the col
ored people, OH the ground that he has wholly
ignored their race in appointments to office, with
the exception that several ignorant colOred men
have been put on as jurors, both grand and petit,
whose action has been influenced in every in
stance by their white Democratic colleagues.
Mr.. Rainey SAYS he has spoken all over the State
without mOlestation, and that he Is about
10 return TO South Carolina for the pur-
pose of entering upon vigorous Republican
campaign. lie SAYS the people of the North viii
have an opportunity To witness tins Fail the truth
of the assertion that peace mas been restored ~ ie
South and that the cOOred man Is not to be denied
his pOiitiCa rights. Referring TO the report that
Senator NJ. G.. Butler has declared that neither Mr..
Smals nor Mr.. Rainey will be returned TO Congress,
MIR Rainey said he did not understand the ground
for the Senator's opinion, because Ar. smalIs dlS-
trIct has Republican majority OF lo,OOO, Whle MS
own district has a majority of 5000 lie does not
believe these majorities can be SEC aside by far
