Senator Logan said that the further evil
dence of a certain Captain, who marched
his company along the road that night to
Bristow Station. showed there was no OBJ
struction In it.
Senator McPherson-Do / understand
that the Senator prefers to believe the tes-
timony of this Captain whom he does not
name, rather than the statement of Gen.
Grant? The time is not far gone when
Grants testimony was pretty good testi-
mony before the people of the country
upon any subject
Senator Logan-Now Mr.. President. the
senator can't get me into any quarrel with
Gen. Grant, and it comes with bad grace
from the senator to make the remarks he
does make in reference to this matter. I've
said nothing disrespectful of Gen. Grant.
| have only said that he is mistaken in
this case, and the evidence shows it; and
when the senator asks whether prefer to
believe somebody else rather than Gen.
Grant, answer that prefer to believe the
statement of men who were on the
ground.
Senator McPherson-Gen. Grant AYERS
that Gen. Porter was entirely justified in
exercising his own Judgment in the mat
not to take part in any battle when he ar
rived, but only to pursue the enemy.
Senator Logan-The great military
genius of the senator from New Jersey
overwbelms me- Porter was not TO obey
the order to move, because he was not re-
quired to fight but merely to pursue the
enemyY How could he pursue the enemy
if he WAS not there to pursue him. Laugh
ter. How could he pursue the enemy if
he did not move towards him, or did not
move at all? AS to Gen. Grants article, |
have answered it in letter and | leave
the country to judge who has the best
foundation as to his opinion. will
merely say now, that any senator who will
accept the statement of a priest, king, or
captain, not based upon testimony, rather
than his own judgment, is man whose
judgment does not operate for itself; and,
if you wish to get his judgment upon any
subject, you must not ask him, but the
man who makes him think so. / am not
that kind of a man. If you want to know
what / believe, ask me; but not if you
want to know what U. s. Grant believes.
Laughter.
Senator Logan's argument was listened
to attentively throughout by the senate
and by the audience, who filled every seat
in the galleries.
At 4 o'clock Senator Logan, not having
completed his argument yielded to mo-
ton to adjourn, and the senate adjourned

the funeral should take place at 6 O'Clock

there was nothing in the viii to attract
many mourners, the funeral procession was
limited to the driver of the hearse aud a
young neighbor of the deceased. He got
the mattress, and found in it $4,000.

Senator Logan Insisted that his state
ment was sustained by the testimony in the
case. The trouble with Gen. Grants
article was, that it did not state the facts
in the cas-.
Senator Mcpherson said Gen. Grant had
stated as one reason for favoring the bill,
that the mounted officer who brought the
order TO Porter was three hours upon the
road, in daylight. owing to. its obstructed
condition, aud he asked Senator Logan
whether this was or was not true.
Senator Logan replied that if the officer
was three hours on his way it was prsb-
ably because he was not in hurry, az the
order did not require Gen. Porter to march
until o'clock, and Capt. Dekay. who car
ried it, arrived at $50. As to the state
ment preferred to by Senator Mcpherson
that there were two thousand wagons on
the road, Senator Logan said every army
man knew that it would be possible to
put two thousand wagons on nine miles OF
road.
