Last Friday. Congressman Lowe, Green
back member from Alabama and an ex-
rebel colonel. sent challenge TO Senator
Logan TO fight duel which the Senator
returned unopened, stating that II Lowe
wanted satisfaction he could easily find q
way to obtain IL. Lowe had recently csus-
ed to be printed . statement that General
Logan raised three regiments Of rebels be-
fore he went iGto the Union army. which
statement Logan denounced as a lie. No
one will doubt the courage Of General Lo-
gan, Of which his war record furnishes
abundant proof, and should personslchas
tisement be attempted it is probable tina,
blood will be shed. The bullying process
OF former days is not likely to succeed now
and least of all on General Logan.
