General LOgans Futile opposition to 1t
The Senate yesterday took up the bill
for the relief of Fitz John Porter Mr..
Manderson, Of Nebraska, in a speech
reviewed the testimony in the case and
said he was opposed to the bill, because OF
the law and the facts, because of the
dangerous precedent to the army and
because he believed it TO be eternally rig ht
to do SO.
General Logan then took the floor in
opposition to the bill. He made long
speech, going over substantially the same
ground as in his address upon the same
subject at the last session of Congress.
He criticised the attitude OF the Southern
senators, and said the passage of the bill
would bo an act OF injustice not only "a
the army, but to all the people OF tho
country; an injustice to the memory OF
the faithful dead an injustice to Abraham
Lincoln and those associated with him.
After Mr.. Riddleberger had made a
brief speech in favor of tho bill 1t was read
third time and passed by vote Of SO
yeas to 20 nays. The result was received
with mingled applause and Kisses from the

when hitherto the city has paid $ll 900 or

tion of the law of 1874, the Examiner calls
our attention TO a supplementary act of

OF only one.fourth of one mill, instead of

permitted by the act OF 1874, by which

MedlOcrity Wins.

Judge Tourgee has been making +;
canvass on his own account of Republi
can preferences for the presidency, aim
ing not 50 much TO get the personal
choice of the majority as to find out who
can most surely be elected, by polling
the popular judgment as to that man
who can get the most votes and lose
the fewest." He discovers that while
in different localities the first choice va
ries SO as TO show about an even senti =
ment as to the most active support of
the Republicans in different places for
Blaine, Arthur, Logan, Sherman aud
Lincoln, opinion is pretty nearly unani
nous that Lincoln's nomination would
everywhere awaken the least hostility or
meet with the least apathy.
Judge Tourgee is right in his as
sumption that the strongest nomination
for party TO make is not necessarily
that of the man who is the personal pre-
ference OF the greatest number OF its
active and leading members. For, as
he says, "tbe very life which may have
given such man so large a following of
friends, with equal probability, would
also have given him an equally intens
and active array Of enemies A loss Of
one vote in each township of a single
state may more than likely turn Tho
scale in this election" The expe
rience OF Webster and Clay, IN
earlier days, and that of Blaine in
two recent Republican conventions
proves that the most conspicuous man ID
the object of the most effective attack
Ii Is the tendency of the field to concen
trate against the favorite.
The Republican party is not as stronp
now as it was in 1880, and it was not as
strong then as In 1879 La both Of these
years it was compelled in its national
conventions to cast aside the personal
preference of It's delegates and take
negative men who had no special follow.
ing and who were supposed to have
excited no special antagonisms. That 1t
should now seem to contemplate sucll
men as Lincoln and Harrison, who
would not be thought of except for their
ancestral names, Is u confession of weak
ness that 1t was not expected to make
at least before the assembling of The
national convention.

rRIuAY EVENING. MAR. IA, ies4.
A WORTHY Scheme.


General George p. Ihrie, formerly Of
the army and now mining engineer In
Boston, Is reported TO be In Washington
with project for q railroad to Alaska,
with the ultimate design Of extending
II TO Behring's strait, across which the
trains will be ferrled or sledded to contin.
ne on their way through Asia and Europe.
The general thinks that there is sufii
cient present inducement for the Alask.
IAN railroad In the minerals and furs OF
the country, and that within twenty.
hvo years we are sure to have an all
rail line hatween Egrorse aid AID AiHeriea.
1t is a reasonable expectation, certain.
ly. After what has been done in the way
Of locomotion, nothing is impossible
The present method Of reaching Europe
by vessel is very unsatisfactory, being
uncomfortable, monotonous and danger.
GUS. A great many more people would
visit the other continents, but for the
disagreeable and forbldding passage Of
the ocean. II we could get aboard the
cars and take the journey over land, It
would be very inviting one to all
who had for 1t the time and money. IL
Is quite incredible that the open avenue
via Behring's strait will not some day
soon be Improved. There is nothing in
the rigor of the climate to make it i'm
practicable, for they say Alaska has a
vastly more temperate climate than our
own. General Ihrie's Alaskan furs and
minerals will not, we fear, furnish suffi
cient transpoi tation for q railroad, very
soon, IL ever but his notion that he
can carly lots of travellers to Asia and
Europe, as soon as his road is built, is
anything but wild. The avery thought Of
concentrating the travel Of the world
upon one railroad is enough to make the
railroad projectors mouth water, and to
send him In hot haste after the right of
way and subsidy. To encourage the
all-rail line to the Old World Con
gress may well be tempted to grant
a liberal slice of the Alaskan
domain, and to throw in the seals
To enable our people to reach Europe
without the pangs of seasickness
Is a philanthropic enterprise, worthy of
the profoundest national sympathy, ard
perhaps some OF the national cash. 1t
is, in fact, SO great an enterprise and so
completely international in its aim that
the United States should unite in con
vention with England and Russia and
propose that the railroad should
be built by each through il:
territory, as a national road. Gen
eral Ihrie should be promptly sen
out to explore the way and report upor
the difficulties to be overcome. Beh
rings Strait will be damper on th,
project, unless lie eau find a comfortabl;
way Of crossing it. We fear he will hav,
to tunnel under it. When the ice l!
safe he might lay his rails upon it, anc
when the water is open ferry boat would
do the work but during the season o.
uncertain ice and water his passenger
would gather upon either side, fearing t
cross, and that would not do In such Q
climate. But let the general look into it
