enterprises as are OF substantial and

THE GRANDEUR or LoGAN's LOYALTY

versation which occurred between your
correspondent and Congressman Lowe
Of Alabama, Greenback Representative
from the Huntsville district:
CorrespOndent-Are you sure, Colonel
Lowe, that Senator Logan ever contem-
plated entering the Confederate service?
Colonel Lowe-I am sure that there
were three regiments Of Illinois men in
the Conderate service; that i forgot
through the war with many of them. and
that without exception those with whom
| talked on the subject assured me that
their regiments were raised by Logan for
the Confederate service.
Correspondence have often heard
the charge made that Logan first
planned 10 enter the Confederate ser
vice, but have never before struck so
direct proof Of the truth of it.
Colonel Lowe-Why, IL is 80 true that
Logan himself will not deny it. II asked
% upon the floor OF the SenV,e, he will
dodge the question. True? Why, tell
YOU have talked with men whom |
knew, and who declared they were en-
listed for the Confederate service by Lo-
gan.

was nothing consistent about il. Why,

day, and spoke OF il rs one Of the great
crimes OF the Democracy, and he him

and figures showing the amount Of
money the State is sending away from
home every year 10 educate our young
men and women. He further spoke Of
the town in which located, from such
an institution rs is proposed by the
Conference; that it would be great
help to almost every branch of trade
carried on, and maintained that the
Seminary would be worth more TO the
town in which it will be located than
the State Capital would be. The Doc
tors remarks made very favorable inn
preston on the audience AMI aroused a
renewed interest in the project now be-
fore the people. John W. Mason and
Rev. RYAN also made short addresses.

what may be necessary to secure the
location OF the Seminary here il pOsSi-

ments the following were finally APP
pointed: 7. r. Davis, DIR. I. Kennedy,

a volume filed with material of much

of particular interest to the residents
