THE LOGAN BLACK LAWS.
How Sable Jack Came Near Sending
Gen. Palmer to the PenitentiarY.

Washington Letter.
Gen. Palmer, of Illinois, is most spoken of
for Vice President. He is not only an able
man, with a conspicuous and brilliant
war record. but he is very popular In Hi
nois and Indiana; and there are reasons
why he would make al uncommonly good
s.set off, against Gen. Logan. Gen. Logan
was once the means of bringing Gen.
Palmer very near the door of a State
prison.
1t will be remembered that Gen. Lo-
gan was the author of the atrOciOus and
cruel black code of Illinois, which he
pushed through the Legislature. By this
Logan black code, as it was called, it was
made a State prison offense for a white
man to bring a free black man into the
State, and the colOred people were made
incapable of bearing witness against
white men in a court Of justice. During
the war Gen. Palmer returned to his home
in Carlinsville very seriously i'll, and in
the care Of colored man who was his
nurse. Soon after his return home he
was indicted by the grand jury of Macou-
pin county, for the crime of bringing
negro into the State contrary to the form
of the statute in such case made and pro-
vided, and against the peace and dignity
Of the people of the State of Illinois," He
was arrested, and managed his own case,
demanding a speedy trial. A jury was
empanelled and witnesses were called,
but here it was found that the slogan
black laws" had over-reached themselves.
1t was necessary for the prosecution to
prove that Gen. Palmer had brought the
colored man 'sfrom another State" He
might have engaged him at Cairo or East
st. Louis; and il turned out that only two
persons knew the facts in the case. Gen.
Palmer, the accused, was not obliged to
testify against himself, and Gen. LOgan's
black laws made a negro incompetent to
testify against white man. So the prose-
cution broke down, and Gen. Palmer, es-
Gaping the penalties Of L0gan's black
code, was able to return to duty in the
service. He commanded the Sixteenth
Army Corps in the Atlanta campaign.

Mr.. Bergh and Mr.. Benefits Cat.

Yesterday afternoon the domestics of
the family Of Mr.. Molloy, who are now
occupying one Of the houses of James
Gordon Bennett, at No. 427 Fifth Avenue,
were alarmed by a rafting among the
china and glassware in the buffers
pantry. The girls called in alarm upon
George p. Barnett, a mulatto about p
years old, employed in the house, to in
Yestigate the matter. Barnett did so, and
found that the cat had got its head in
metal eream-jug. The girls screamed
with fright, and TO relieve them of their
fears, Barnett, gently lifting the cat by
the tail, assisted it over the fence into the
ward of the house adjoining. Unfortu-
nately for Barnett, the house next door is
the residence Of AR. Henry Bergh. Mr..
Bergh procured a can-opener and re-
lieved the cat Of its predicament and then
called Officer Smart, Of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
had Barnett arrested. In Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court, Justice kilbreth held
the accused for trial at Special Sessions,
bail being fixed at $500.

Gen. Lew Wallace in a recent interview
said: In the three years that l have
been in CODstantinOpIe, which is a COM
mercial centre, 1 have seen our flag on
two ships in that harbOr. One was the
Namouna, James Gordop Benefits yacht,
and the other was on the United States
ship Quinnebaug. This is bad for Fourth
Of July orators, but it is a fact which the
people might as well know. never have
seen our flag upon a ship Of commerce or
a steamer there. It is a matter of aston
ishment TO the Turks. They know our
strength. our wealth and our producing ca
paeitY. They ask repeatedly, Where are
your shipss' Where is your flag? What
Is the matterF'' OF course Gen. Wall
lace did not explain the policy Of the
grand old party that has driven our flag
sd the ocean in order to foster few mo-
nopolies which rob our own government
and people. More than likely the General
tried 10 deceive the inquisitive Turks by
flying of into abuse Of Capt. Semmes ard
the Southern Confederacy.

FOUR LITTLE PILGRIMS.

Crossing the Sea Alone to Find New
Homes Their Parents Have Made for
Them.
Little nine-year-Old Marie Woodti, with
a tiny Alpine hat set jauntily on her
fiaxen head, climbed up out of the steerage
of the steamer Canada yesterday, says the
New York Sun Of the 10th instant, and
stepped tremblingly into Castle Garden.
All the officials and clerks made break
to get to her first and wipe away the tear
drops that glistened in her blue eyes. She
wore short Swiss dress of bright-colored
cloth, and had little Alpine knapsack
strapped to her shoulder. In her pocket
was a little wallet full of money. Dang
ling from her neck were two leather tags.
On them was painted in plain letters:

tits well that the cities all over the

Kelly and Butler.

There is naturally a desire to know
what Kelly and Butler propose to do with
respect to the Democratic ticket. 1t is
noticeable that Immediately after the con-
vention completed its work they resisted
all attempts to interview them. Are they
meditating treason? 1t is suspected that
they are, but there is no certain foundation
for the suspicion. Many Of Kelly's
friends say that he will finally
support the ticket. Before the nomina-
ton of Cleveland Kelly declared
that he would not turn over his hand to
help to elect him. Butler said before the
convention assembled that he would
support the ticket whoever might be
nomin lted. 1t is clear, howeN r, that he
aimed to make capital for J mselt at
Chicag and not to advance the interests
of the l. rty. His minority report on the
platform and his speech in support of it,
were / 9th intended to damage
the party. He may not OPEN
" take position against the
ticket, but it would be in keeping with
his character and career if he should at
tack it secretly and in ways that would
be more damaging than open opposition.
He saws that as the candidate of the
Greenbackers and anti-monopolists he
will draw more votes from the Republic
cans than from the Democrats, and that if
he succeeds in getting a few cleo
toral votes the election may be
thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives, where the Democrats
have the power to choose a President.
Butler may be sincere in what he says
and he may not. 1t is certain that conf
dence in him is not very strong. How
ever, there is no indication of uneasiness
among the Democratic leaders respecting
the course that Kelly and Butler may
pursue. Butler hasn't much strength
outside of Massachusetts, and the Demo
Gratis do not expect to carry that State.
Kelly's opposition to Tilden in 1876 did
not hurt Tilden and it will not do Cleve-
land much, if any, damage. The opposI-
ton of Tammany Will increase his popu-
larity with those who are anxious to see
an honest and cons ervative man elected
President, and may bring him more votes
than TammanY controls. There is no oc-
casion, therefore, to bother about the
plans and purposes of Kelly and Butler.
No more the Presidential bee improves
each shining hour; he buzzes not for
Stephen Field, nor huns for Roswell
Flower. His Bayard notes have sunk to
rest, while Tilden has no bonnet; Nc
Donald, Randall, Butler now hear not the
