MEMORIAL TO LOGAN.

The following l. part of the text of q
memorial to General Logan which is to be
signed by those ex-soldiers in this
city who take stock in his senseless
opposition to the restoration of Gen. Fitz
John Porter to the rolls of the army. For
once. at least, Gen. Grant has shown sterl-
ing common sense in his acknowledgment
of the grievous wrong done Gen. Porter
and his desire to see him honorably re-
instated in his old position. And when an
old soldier also remembers that the mill
tary board (sitting eomparativelyrecently on
Porters case,) consisting of those splendid
soldier patriots Generals Schofield, Terry
and Getty unanimously recommended the
restoration(G Gen. Terry having entered upon
the examination with feelings of bitter hos
tility to Porter,) how can he consistently
sign such q memorial sustaining the vim
dictive Logan against the judgment of the
officers named2 But here is the memorial
Rock ISLAND. Jan. 8, 1883.
To GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN:
Dear General: We, the undersigned,
honorably discharged soldiers of the late
rebellion, hereby tender to you our heart
felt thanks for the manly opposition to the
restoration of Fitz John Porter.
His disobedience of orders lost 9 great
battle to the Union arms, and thousands
whose widows and orphans remember in
sorrow the day Of his disebedience. and in
the name of those widows and orphans we
also thank you.
If Fitz John Porter is restored to the
army, of what use are our honorable dis
charges, and of what utility are courts
martials We supposed, and had the right
TO suppose, when We were discharged. that
it gave us distinction deserving our
actions, that it created line
of differ ence between obedience
and disobedience. desertion and
disobedience, having as much force in our
army as in the armies of the rest of the
world And if Fitz John Porter is to he
restored to the army it is but simple JUS
tice that all who were dishonorably dis
charged should be restored, monuments
erected to those shot for desertion and
their relatives pensioned for the wrongful
act of the court martial that found them
guilty Then our next war viii hnd mob
over which the officers will have no con-
troll.
The foregoing shows clearly the nature
of the memorial &c be forwarded to Logan.
As the years roll around quite IS many re-
publican ex-soldiers begin to believe in
Porter's innocence as democrats, and the
inevitable result win be that in spite OF
Logan frantic mouthings FitZ John Por-
ter will emerge from the cloud which has
enwrapped him for twenty years into the
sunlight of an honest. patriotic soldier

Effects Of the License Law In Ohio.

Contrary to expectation the tax i'm
posed upon the liquor dealers and sa-
Ioon.keepers by the Scott law will
not succeed in closing up any Of the
so.called dives in this city. With
very rare exceptions the same num-
her Of saloons will continue in opera
ton as previous to the Supreme Court
opinion on the constitutionality of the
law. In few instances, where men
have run two saloons that might prop
erly be considered dives, they have
closed up one, but these have usually
been reopened or bought out by other
persons who consider them eligible TO-
cations. All the small saloon keepers
make great effort to secure the nee
essary money to continue their bust
ness, with an idea that the law may
soon be repealed. The reason that
the dives, without exception, continue
in operation, is plain enough when it
is explained that the majority are
much more profitable than many of
the so-called respectable class OF sa-
ICONS. Factory Hill, Commercial
street, the Haymarket, and that entire
neighborhood still flourish with their
pristine vigor, and show up precisely
the same list of dead falls. The fact
that nearly every saloon keeper in the
city continues his business demon.
strates more clearly than words could
do that the tax is not too burtlensome
to bear. Besides the large additional
amount of money in the treasury the
law gives the police slight handle
with which to better regulate the
lowest classes of saloons.- Cleveland

\ Boys Tongue Out by His
Older Brother.


From passenger VINO came in on
the 81. Joseph and Western train
Thursday meagre details were oh
tanned concerning a shocking outrage
perpetrated IN Richardson county,
Nebraska. a farmer named Saunders,
living in that county, has two SONS,
the oldest OF whom il Is years of age.
II is said that the father is q very ex-
acting man, and often administers
such severe puuishmeut to his chill
drcn that they regard with terror any
indication Of displeasure ON his part.
y few days ago the oldest son COM
mittcd some act OF which the younger
boy threatened to inform their father,
when the other knocked him down
with club, and proceeded dcliber-
ately to cut out his tongue with dull
poCkct-kuile, The victim, lad only
II years OF age, being thus deprived
of speech, and not having yet learned
to write, was unable to tell how he
received the injury, which ior some
time remained "a mystery. The neigh
bors were aroused, some beliey ina
that the lad had been made the victim
OF "a revcng,iul tramp, and much cX-
element prevailed. Finally the per-
petralor confessed and related the
facts as given above. What was done
with him the Herald's informant had
not arcpTtalued.

LIQUOR LICENSES AT AUCTION
In Missouri, where the liquor ques-
ton is undergoing legislative oonsid.
Grafton, all sorts of propositions are
put forward, looking to the regula-
tion ofthc liquor traffic. Prohibition
outright does not seem to meet with
favor, but the people and legislators
profess an earnest desire 10 70 rs far
as possible in the way OF regulation.
Perhaps the most novel of all the
measures proposed is that ui grading
the numJcr OF saloons iu II village,
town or city by the population, and
then putting the license up for sale to
the highest bidder. Such a system, 1t
is claimed, would not only reduce the
number Of drinking places, but would,
rs u rule. place the business in the
hands Of moro reputable class of
men, who would Ind it to their inter-
est to keep orderly places. The low
doggcry, 1t is alleged, would disap-
pear. The item of revenue, arising
from high-pricld licenses, Is also to be
considered. The ST. Louis Republic
can, the other day, gave this PROPOSE
ton very elaborate aud rather favor
able consideration. Whether it will
be adopted, IN whole or partially, il,
however, very doubtful. While 1t
