In answer to charge alleged to have
been made by Congressman Lowe of Ala
bama in an interview with newspaper re-
porter that Senator Logan, at the beginning
of the war, assisted in the enlistment of men
for the Confederate service, the latter pub
fishes card declaring the statement to be
"maliciously and vllanously false" He
cites the facts to prove the falsity of the
statement, and shows how it was fabricated.
He says in conclusion: II understand that
Col. Lowe claims that this is not a correct
report of what he said to the reporter. II
not, he should correct the statement and
make the reporter responsible for putting a
lie into his mouth. The statement 1 brand
as false and slanderous, and Col. Lowe and
the reporter can settle the question between
themselves as to which one has been guilty
of perpetrating this malicious falsehood."
