During all the forensic struggle on the
appropriation bill riders, the grandest and
most uRanswerable argument was that de-
livered by Senator ConkIing last week. he
was eomplimented by the august presence
Of Cabinet and Foreign Ministers, the
General of the Army and over a hundred
members of the House, who rushed over to
the Senate to listen 10 the truly great son
Of the great State of New York. He show
ed most cOnclusively that the section Of the
Union that sought its destruction and now
pays mere mciety of the enormous taxa
tions caused by their rebellion, is the ones
now seeking despotic and revolutionary
control Of the entire nation. The speech
of Mr. Conkling in the Senate and of Mr..
Frye IN the House, it is safe to say are of
that class that will not be answered. Con-
cerning Mr.. COnkling's speech the Tribune
pertinently remarks:
''It was especially appropriate to show
that the object Of this attempted dictation
was to push still further the unnatural and
excessive mastery Of that section, through
party caucus, over the Government which
so recently the men of that section tried to
destroy. As long as the Democratic repre-
sentstives from Southern States form q
majority in Democratic caucus, and the
Democratic party blandly obeys the dictates
of a caucus and controls a majority in both
houses of Congress, so long a minority of
the people of the United States will rule
the majority. The aim of the legislation
proposed, as Mr. Conkling clearly showed,
is to enable that minority to intrench itself
in power by the aid Of corruption and
fraud. Resistance to such an effort is justi-
fable, not only from partisan motives, but
it is the rightful assertion by the majority
Of the people Of their desire to retain a
proper share in the government Of the
country.

The attractions OF the war in Zululand
for the Southern White League would
seem to be irresistible. In the first place
there is the greatest chance for killing

world, and the loss Of population would
not affect the census in the sovereign
Southern States.

Barbarism and brutality seems to have
risen from their slumbers since the days of
Bully Brooks, when the Senate chamber
was disgraced by the exhibition of South
ern violence. That was the open violence
Of bully, but now we have resort again to
the "code Of honor" A challenge has
been sent from. Congressman Lowe, of
Alabama, to Gen. Logan, of III. The
story runs as follows: Several days ago
Logan made speech IN the Senate severely
criticising the Confederate Brigadiers and
the Democratic policy generally. Lowe,
who was in the Southern army. told cor
respondent that Logan, as he had often
been informed and believed, had raised
two or three regiments for the Confederate
army in Southern Illinois, and afterward
went back on them. Gen. Logan saw this
brief interview, and in last Mondays WASH
ington Republican, published card de-
nouneing it as false, using some very
strong language. In short, he character
lied 1t as malicious lie. Col. Lowe felt
called upon to notice Ibis in personal way.
On the same day he sent Logan a letter de-
manding a aretraction Of the offensive words
Logan took no notice of the communion
tion. Lowe sent another on "Wednesday
intimating that unless a retraction was
made by certain time Logan must take
the consequences, Gen. Logan showed his
contempt for the Southern style of settling
so-called difficulties, and ignored loves
second note, and seems to have decided to
take the consequences. On Friday morn
ing he was waited upon by loves friend,
Col. Pelham, who announced himself as a
messenger from Lowe, to receive an apollo
gy for the offensive language used hv To-
gan, Gen. Logan said he had no an5loSv
70 make, and reiterated his former stsfHeS,
ments. Pelham then handed HIM a seaIe5
note, stating that it was Of a serious cbsr-
acter, and that he was instructed to hand
it 70 him unless the offensive language was
withdrawn. Gen. Logan declined to re.
ceive il, saying, iH effect, that ne wanted
no more c0iDmunications from Col. Lowe
Tbs much is known, bat further both par-
ties are reiicent.
