Lowe, Logan ana Loyalty.

The Washington Star of the 26th ult.
publishes a card from Representative
Lowe. of Alabama, which says:
In the Republican, of the 21st inst. Hon.
John A Logan has a communication in re-
gard to an interview between Mr.. Luther,
the correspondent Of the Boston Globe, and
myself which interview had been published
in the Pittsburg Post In that communica-
ton Senator Logan uses, in reference to my
self, the following extraordinary language
understand that Colonel Lowe claims that this
Is not correct report of what he said 70 the report
er. II not he should correct the statement and
make the reporter responsible for putting lie into
his mouth The statement brand as false and
sIauderous and Colonel Lowe and the reporter can
settle the question between themselves 10 which
one has been guilty Of perpetrating this yll2inous
falsehOod. Very respectfully. JOHN a. LOGAN.
Upon reading this language [ sent Senator
Logan the following note
WASHINGTON. d C.. 2Ist April. ls7o.-Hon. John
A Logan, Washington, d. C.-Sir: In the RcpIb-
Hcau Of this morning l md communication sign
between the correspondent Of the Pittsburgh Post
and myselfin regard 70 your rumored participation
in raising troops for the Confederate army in 1891
You had been informed that the interview publish
ed in the Post incorrect. In that interview
said substantially that there were two OF three
companies frhm Illinois in the Confederate service:
that had talked with of the officers and some
of the men, and they said they were enlisted 10
constitute part of General Iogan's command in
the Con federte army that such reports were
rent in my section; that had never heard any de
naI Of them that if they were true General Logan
If asked upon the floor OF the Senate could not
deny. but might, perhaps, evade a direct answer.
This being the substance of my statement in said
interview desire to know whether in YOUR com
muuication to the Republican this morning. you
aPPly5the words false and sanderogs II t. me
This viii be handed to you by my friend Charles
Pelham. Esq. W. NJ. l..
This note was delivered by Judge Pelham
to Senator Logan, at his city residence, on
the morning Of the 22d inst.
Dir. Lowe then says that, receiving no re-
ply, he caused anothernOte of similar tenor
to be delivered to Senator Logan personally
in the veStibue of the Senate Chamber, on
the afternoon of April "a. This also having
failed, he says, to elicit a reply he sent, on
the afternoon of the next day, cOmmunica-
ton, of which the following is a copy:
WASHINGTON. D. c., April 25 1s70.-The Hon
John A Logau-Sir: On the 21st instant you
published in the Republican, Of this city. cOmmu-
nication eontafnfn, words personally rejecting
1f9on me l have twice addressed to you q note
calling your attention to this language ! GU have
failed and refused 20 answer either of them and
YOU therefore force to the last alternative. 1
therefore demand that you name some time and
place ont Of this district where another coInrnuni
cation will presently reach you. My friend, Chas
premises Respectfully, WV NJ. Lowe
Colonel Lowe then concludes his card as
follows ''Thus ended this one-sided cores
pOndence, which explains itself. 1t needs
little or no comment from me. | will not
brand John A. Logan as a liar, for he is a
Senator Of the United States. viii not post
him as q ScOundrel and a DOltrOOn. for that
would be in violation Of the local statutes.
But ] do publish him as one who knows how
to insult, but not how to satisfy gentleman
and invoke upon him the judgment Of the
community"
The charges against Senator Logan so
Extensively reiterated by Colonel Lowe
stand upon such basis of proof that
they cannot be put aside by a simple de
NAL. Colonel Lowe assumes the respon-
sihility for the publication and substan-
italy confirms the correctness Of the in
tervieW with Mr.. Luther. who is the
Washington correspondent of THE RE-
CORD. and whose word IS as good as any
mans in either the House or the Senate
We think Colonel Lowe has made mis-
take in sending a challenge. If he feels
bloodthirsty he should pull Logan's nose
on the steps Of the Capitol There is no
glory to be got out of a shooting match
and precious little satisfaction.-Phild
