ANnrHER ANNIYERSARY.

Two years ago this day, 300 of :" the best
citizens of Kemper County, Miss" banded
together and brutally murdered three men
of thirteen years, and young, brave, and
beautiful girl. The bodies of the principal
ill-fated victims Of this bloody drama have
been removed to peaceful spot in Penn
sylvania; but their blood yet stains the soil
of Mississippi and cries to Heaven for ven-
geance. For what were these murders COM
mitted? Judge CHIsoLM, who fell, and
against whom the fury Of the assassins was
principally directed. said to his wife rs he
lay groanng in suffering under his death
wounds "My precious wife, / am about to
"die, but when am gone, want you to
"tell my children that their father never
" did an act in his life for which they need
{" to blush or feel ashamed. ! am innocent
"of the charge these men have preferred
against me, and have been murdered be-
"cause am Republican, and would live
" n free man."
His noble and devoted daughter, with
her body riddled by assassin shot, vainly
clung to her father in an endeaVor 10 shield
him from the dastardly work of his MUIR
derers. She was not a carpet-bagger's Off
spring. Loyal Southern blood flowed in
her veins, and she could claim that ancestry
as far back as any of the assassins who took
her life 1t was not in this instance the
carpet-bagger nor the Southerner that they
aimed 10 destroy, but the Republican. The
heroic CoRNELIA exclaimed, mamma, they
shave shot me againw as she cIung to her
Republican father, and then received her
death wound.
And now we say to these "best people of
Kemper," whose hands are red with the
gore of weak, an innocent, an unoflend-
ing, and braYe, martyred girl, that blood
is the seed which will yet prove the harvest
of retribution to her murderers, and help to
work out the problem of liberty Of opinion
for all the people.

General Logan in Southern Illinois.


To The Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: Apropos Of General Logan's early war
record, want to say n word or two of matters
that fell under my personal observation. When
the war broke out he was q mcmber-elect to the
Thirty-seventh Congress, but he promptly re-
and Immediately assumed command of his
regiment, and was stationed at Cairo, H.,
where was then employed in connection with
the military service. About the same time a
rebelious spirit began to exhibitit itselfin South
crn Illinois, and the loyal people of that region
were threatened with the destruction of their
property unless they would give their adhe-
sion to the rebel cause. These people appealed
to General Logan to use his influence and elo-
quence to subdue this disoyal outburst, and he
promptly responded by making an excursion
into the disturbed section. l accompanied that
excursion to point near the Big Muddy, on
the Central Illinois Railroad, where Colonel
Logan delivered one of the most stirring patri-
otic speeches it has ever been my privilege to
listen to, and through his efforts and his earn
est pleadings with the people of that section
camparitve loyalty and quiet were soon re-
stored. General Grant bore witness to these
facts when | heard him say to Admiral Ammen
at dinner one day that Logan was entitled to
the gratitude of tho country for having saved
to the Union cause several counties in South
crn illinois," | do not know with whom or
for what purpose this monstrous calumny-
that Senator Logan actually raised troops for
the Confederate service-was originated but
am quite sure that it is, as chGra cterized by
himself, "villainously false" VERITAS.
National Republican., 1879-04-29

To The Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR Frequent reference, amounting abso-
lutely to "damnablc iteration" has been made
to the course pursued by Hon. John A. Logan
at the beginning of our late civil strife. 1t
seems amazing that any body familiar with his
country's history for the past twenty years
should so stutify himself as to attempt for q
moment to associate nv. Logan with the Lost
Cause" His refutation of an old SANDER,
under his signature, In Mondays REPUBLICAN,
was wholly unnecessary, because he might
well have appealed TO history for vindication
of his course, instead of replying to anonymous
newspaper correspondents. l have never
spoken to Senator Logan, aud am consequently
personally unknown to him but, however di-
vergent may be our political views rejoiced
over his recent election by the Illinois Legisla-
ture to the United States Senate as n triumph
Of Irish brains and pluck and as a reward for
long and faithful party service For several
years he was the steady leading advocate of the
late Stephen A. Douglas claims to the Pres-
dency of the United States while your humble
servant was q Breckenridge Democrat. Iwell
remember the significant language of Mr..
Logan in the Charleston convention of 1860, on
the eve of its adjournment, when the Southern
delegates refused to accept as their candidate
his favorite gentleman" Said he: "You will
have occasion ere long to regret your action"
There is, therefore, no room to gainsay the fact
that since then John A. Logan has been u con-
sistent, fearless Republican, and nothing more
preposperous and puerile can we'll be conceived
than the idea that lie for moment thought OF
lending aid of any kind to those engaged in
armed array against the Federal Government.
In fact, those who were in any way familiar
with the influence which he exercised at the
time, realized that he would prove great
power in crushing armed opposition, and all
his actions during the Titanic struggle, seemed
to be governed by the idea contained in q
stanza of one of Moore's melodies very slightly
paraphrazed-
Then onward, the old banner waving,
Go! flesh every sword 10 the hilt;
on our side is Virtue and Erin
On theirs is Rebellion and Guilt.

The Democratic organ, which is really tho
prime cause of LowE's present awkward
dilemma, and his most dsagreenble attitude
toward the laws and public sentiment-it
having opened this matter through the
agency of an ill-advised and iudiscreet in
terview-now tenders its victim the follow
ing wholesome piece of advice as to the fu-
ture:
The best thing for Colonel Lowe to do is not
to challenge General LOGAN to fight duel nor
post him as coward, but go on and prove
what he has said about him to be true.
This is an exceedingly judicious sugges-
tion, which, if it had been made and ac-
cepted and acted on before several bloviat-
ing epistles had been sent to Senator LOGAN,
would have saved the belligerent Colonel
some trouble and more ridicule.

THE Democrats admit and indorse the
correctness of the statement Of the Sunday
Gazette, of this city, that the pending extra
session of Congress costs the Government
$1,000 day. In other words, they concede
that at least $4,000 Of the peoples money
have been wasted in the little more than n
month that Congress has been in session,
and that enough more will be wasted to
raise the figures in round numbers to $780,
600. But the Gdsette'S estimate is alto
gether too low, and it does not include
many items of expense to the taxpayers
which are properly chargeable to this ac-
count. Among them are stationery, fuel,
and gas, which count up among the hun
dreds and thousands of dollars. Let the

If the Democrats expect that the coming
veto will be confined in its objections to the
army bill TO the political riders they will
probably be mistaken. There are many
features of the bill which are germano to its
appropriate object and which are not politi-
cal in their character which ought to, and
probably will, be included in the Presidents
objections. These features, it should be I'M
derstood, provide in an indirect or round
about way for q restoration by the whole
sale of the deserters from the army TO the
