The "bui mt child'' argument of the Timcs we
Know is very cifccIivc one with most people
in anything savoring of public undertaking.
To this argument in this case we would say your
subscriptions are skcd not to railroad or any
scheme the cost of which may not be brought
down TO almost absolute figures, but to an en-
tcrprse which is of a class that has been almost
universally successful at the South and upon n
scale so far cost is concerned not only cheap
er than such works hitherto have been con-
structed, but with vory moderate total expen-
dture in comparison with many other enter
priscs of the kind.
As to the general point made of the "burnt
child :" What people on earth ever undertook
anything from the time Noah's ark rested on
Ararat without cncountcring loss at some period
or occasion? Ii is not the loss encountered in
effort which makes us poor indeed, but inaction,
suspended effort, rotting rn the ways, waiting
for something to turn up. This crying after

ROLAND FOR AN OLIvER.-$enatOr Logan
has fallen into the habit of pushing himself
into the proceedings just before the aljourning
hour, and at about the usual time he came
forward this afternoon, making Mr.. Hills speech
the occasion of his doing so. lie said he rose
merely to call attention to Sheridan's report in
which 1000 names were given of persons MUIR
dered in Louisiana after the war, but several
Democrats disputing the authority upon which
the report was based Logan launched into an
offensive TRADE that soon led TO q spirited give
and take discussion.
Mr.. Butler of South Carolina, had moved to q
seat OIL the main aisle during this coloquy, and
asked Logan if he had ever heard of such or
ganization as the Ku-Klux or Vigilance Commit
tee in Illinois.
"Why, no." exclaimed Logan, contemptuous-
u. "Thcn you arc rs ignorant of what is 60
ing on in your own State rs you charge South
crn Senators with being about the South. In
Charlestown, Ill.,, the newspapers report the cx-
istance of vigilance committee which have
taken men and women out at night and whipped
them and ordered them to leave the country
Does the Senator consider himself responsible

responsible for them? Is the Senator from Illi-
nois responsible for III men shot down in the
streets o! Chicago in 1877, or for the Pittsburg
riot and the consequences? Yet he tries to hold
Southern Senators responsible for ou,ragcs com

South"
Logan, who had been writhIng under this
fu'iladc, broke in with some mumbling cXtenu-
ations. Mr.. Butler still kept his feet not hav-
ing iiniShcd speaking. Presently Logan turned

"if the Chair directs me to do so, but not at the
dictatIon or request of the senate from Illinois

"Wcl," Logan blurtcd out, thoroughly vcxcd,
"you may stand up all night for all care, but
you may as well understand that none of that

Butler interrupted, mildly, "ihat his bravado
