WASHINGTON.
Special to the Tlmes.Journ

wv Ai"u9S 'o-""y was pleCeucu Dy an aDlc
speech from Mr.. Ewing in defense of the
Southern people and their representatives
upon the floor. He said their loyalty to
the government was as unquestionable as
that of the Sortherners; and in answer to
the question Of Republicans who desired TO
know why so many brigadiers were here he
would say that the whole sweep OF man
hood at the South had had to enter the
army, and they had no others to choose
from, and that the South was attached to
them by the sympathy of common cour-
age, a common misfortune and common
submission to the result, and that since.the
brigadiers had been in Congress no big
jobs had been carried through.
GARFIELD REPLIED
and said that tremendous effort had been
made to show that all the loyalty to the
government was confined to the South, and
taat the people of the North were sectional
and narrow minded. He charged that it
was the predetermined action of the Deme
cratic caucus that raised this issue. And
that among the forty-six Democrats who
had spoken, not one had announced his de-
termination to pass the bills in case they
failed to get their Legislation through by
constitutional means.

who has established himself as the funny
man of the house, got the floor and heaped
up ridicule on Republicans, Democrats and
Greenbackers, IN about equal quantities.
He is without doubt the boss humorist, and
kept the house in constant roar, and re-
ferring to De La Martyrs little bill tor a
billion of dollars he said that nothing
short OF an appeal to the Deity to have it
rain greenbacks for forty days and nights
would furnish the requisite amount to meet
their demands. He told the Southern
Democrats that what they needed was
more corn and cotton and less cussedness,
and suggested to the Republicans that the
bloody shirt had been waved until the ex-
hibition had lost its novelty, and another
flag would be better to train under. He
managed to win applause from both sides
THE VETO.
For the sake Of appearance, it is thought
the President may defer sending his veto
message to the House until Wednesday, in
order that its pretended consideration may
come up in Cabinet meeting on Tuesday,
The number of Democrats who affect to be-
lieve that he will approve it are diminish
ing hourly, and the number of Republicans,
who are hopeful Of veto is increasing in
corresponding ratio. The utter want of
confidence, however in his eyccllencys fix
edness of purpose, tends to make the Re
publicans somewhat uneasy. The Demo
Gratis are refusing bets on the veto, which,
until a week ago, they were glad to get.

unpleasantness il not likely to result in any
blood letting, as Logan absolutely declines
to pay any attention to the beligerent
Alabamaian's demand for meeting. Lo-
gan says he cant spare the time to stand up
and be shot at, but if Lowe should get in
his way he will doff his senatorial coat long
enough to warm his hide for him, The i'm
preston prevails pretty generally that the
Alabama blonde has, with the help of his
second, Judge Pelham, succeeded In max
ing an ass of himself, and that he has not
been so anxious for fight from the first as
as he is to acquire cheap reputation for
bravery.
LOVES LETTER.
Representative Lowe publishes a card this
afternoon in relation to his difference with
Senator Logan. The representative incor-
porates letters to the SENATOR delivered by
Judge Pelham. The last one is as follows:
WASHINGTON, April %, 1879
To Hon. John A. Logan;
SIR;-On the 21st inst, you published in
the Republican, of this city, communities
ton containing words personally rejecting
on me- have twice addressed you note
calling your attention to this language
You have failed and refused to answer
either of them, and you thereby force me
to the last alternative. therefore demand
you name some time and place out of
this district where another communication
will presently reach you. My friend
Charles Pelham is authorized to act for me
in the premises. Respectfully,
Signed WIN. NJ LOWE.
Colonel Lowe then concludes his card as
follows: "Thus ended this one-sided cores
pondence. 1t needs little or no comment
fromme will not brand JohnA. Logan as a
liar, for he isa senator of the United States.
l will not post him rs scoundrel and pol
troon, for that would be in violation of the
local statutes, but do publish him as one
