CONGRESSMAN Lowe, Of Alabam

CONGRESSMAN Lowe, Of Alabama,
has succeeded admirably i'll making
an ass Of himself. He took excep.
tions to Senator Logan's calling him a
liar. and demanded all apology which
was not forthcoming. Lowe then
sent a challenge to Logan, but the lat
ter refused to receive it and re-assert-
ed, to the bearer, that Lowe was a
liar. The irate Albanian relieved
his pent up feelings by writing a card
to the press, which concluded as fol-
lows: 49,.
II will not brand John A. Logan as
a liar, for he is a senator of the United
States. ] will not post him as a
scoundrel and poltroon, for that would
be in violation of the local statutes:
but | do publish him as one who knows
how to insult but not to satisfy a gen
tleman, and I invoke upon him the
Judgment of the honorable men Of the
community"
Senator Logan is brave even to
rashness; his courage has been tested
time and again on the battle. field; his
bitterest enemies never accused him of
being a coward; he can afford to treat
the irate Lowe with contem OF.

A Change of Tactics.

Judge Blair at the recent term Of the
second district court, held at Rawlins,
sentenced two convicts to six months
and one years. Imprisonment In the
Lincoln, (Neb.,) p~enitentiary. The
commitment papers to the Lincoln pri-
son were duly made out, and the prison.
ers were on Friday last delivered to
Deputy Warden Nobes Of the aforesaid
penitentiary. The latter started with
his prisoners for the east Friday night;
when the party reached Laramie City
the sheriff of Albany county. presented
himself before Mr.. Nobes and claimed
the prisoners on a writ of habeds corpus.
After some discussion, Mr.. Nobes,
after having consulted Judge Blur, sur
rendered his men to Sheriff Boswell.
We learn from good authority that
these proceedings we're instituted by
the Laramie City ring who have, for a
year past, been trying to break up the
contract with the Lincoln prison for
keeping the Wyoming convicts, and
who have thus far been defeated in
their schemes, in order to bring the
matter to an immediate hearing before
the courts. Judge Peck will go to Lar
annie City to-day, in order to hear the
case tomorrow. The papers upon which
these proceedings are based, are report
ed to be wholly illegal, and the entire
case must therefore fall to the ground.
We shall watch the progress of this suit
with considerable interest; for the Al
bany county penitentiary ring seems to
be bound to break the contract made
under the law with the Lincoln prison
officers, even at the risk Of bankruptlng
the territory.

With all the other makes OF rifles
there Is something the matter with
them. which can be named, and tn de-
lection proved by simply testing the

they are the best guns made. There 10
