To The Editor.


Permit me through your columns as a
daily to correct a mistake by insdvertence in
The American Register of the twenty-third Of
February, 1884, personal in Its character.
In the article on the subject Of "The Land
Grabbers," the name of Senator John A.
Logan, $4,000 acres, appears in the list Of
land grabbers. This is an error in an article
of the local editor which escaped
my attention. The list was taken
as I understand, from Chicago
newspaper. Since my attention was called to
it have ascertained that Senator Logan doea
not and mover did hold that or any other
quantity of land on speculation. The only
part of the public domain he ever entered OF
located in any way was one land warrant for
the 100 acres which he received on his SER
vices in the Mexican war. l deem 1t no less
than a duty to correct such an error as to
any man, and especially as to distinguished
public man l have respected, although have
differed from him politically.
