LEXANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JULY %.

TIE MOST partial friends of Messrs. Bay
ard, Lamar and Garland, the three South
ern members of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet
can not cay that either one of these gentle
men has achieved any honor for himself oy
his position as Cabinet minister, or reflect.
ed any upon the administration of which he
Is part There was plenty Of good mate
rial in the South outside of the Senate, from
which to select Cabinet officers, and it was
pointed out to the President BY the men
who nominated and elected him, but ne
took other peoples advice. He thereby
weakened his party in the Senate and heavi'
Iy handicapped his administration. So far
ss the South is concerned, it would have
been better for her and for her democracy
had she been entirely without representation
in the Cabinet than represented therein as
she has been.

GEN. LOGAN'S SPEECH.

The Payne case occupied the attention of
the Senate for most Of yesterdays session.
The speech OF Gen. Logan was the feature
OF the debate, and WAS much relished by the
spectators in the galleries, who several times
applauded. After stating the reason why
be opposed an investigation on charges so
vague and unsubstantial, he said he would
promise to retire from public life if a jury of
twelve intelligent lawyers selected at ram
dom in Cincinnati or elsewhere did not de-
eide that such charges we're unworthy In.
vestigation. Gen. Logan sometimes direct
IL and sometimes indirectly referred to Mr..
Sherman in q manner which was very far
from adding to the latter's comfort. He
spoke of how easily charges and insinuatons
were thrown out, and alluded to the stric
lures passed upon men who came TO Congress
poor and grew suddenly rich. At this
palpable hit, Mr.. Sherman grew pale and
red by turns and moved uneasily in his seat
All through his remarks he constantly com.
mented upon the presidential aspirations OF
others, looking physically all the time at
the Ohio Senator, and invariably disclaim-
ing any ambition in that line for himself
He quoted copiously from the violently
abusive articles which have appeared in the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette retiecting
upon him and Senators Evarts and Teller,
because they opposed investigation, reading
them out of the republican party, asserting
that they are politically dead, &c. He said
all this was in the interest of other presi-
idential candidates, and at this he again
looked hard at Mr.. Sherman. he then
quoted from the same journal of different
dates denunciatory articles Of many other
prominent republicans, and capped the
climax by sending to the desk to be read q
letter written in 1865 by Mura5 Halstead,
the editor, to Mr.. Chase, then in Lincoln's
cabinet, denouncing Gen. Grant as drunk
en- loafsr, proclaiming that he and Gen.
Sherman were both incompetent and
should be removed, and that any one who
would kill Lincoln would do the country
service. Gen. Logan commented on all
these publications in half serious,
half comic strain, but always 10
good temper and with such happy
effect as to produce almost continuous
laughter on the floor and in the galleries.
The violence of the crusade against Mr..
Payne and the malignant and slanderous
warfare upon the three republican members
of the committee on privileges and elections
because they stood by their convictions on
a strictly legal and technical question had
q marked effect.

Among the bills reported favorably in the
Senate to day was one by Mr.. Cameron,
giving an American register to a foreign
built ship owned in Philadelphia. Among
the bills passed was one authorizing the
condemnation of property along Rock

einia. Mr.. Edmunds introduced a resolu.
ton calling for all the information in the pos
session Of the civil service commission re-

It is currently rumored to-day that Mr..

party man, having retained the Office of

as long as was agreeable, has, of his own
free will determined to resign it in order to
take charge of republican newspaper in
Omaha.
A large portion of to.day's session of the
House was consumed in determining the
order of business, though at yesterdays ses
sion it was determined that to-day and Sat
urday should be devoted TO the considera-
ton of the bill for the construction of the
new navy. The chair decided that no mat
ter what the House had determined ycster-
day it could do what it pleased to-day. The
| object of those opposed to the regular order
of the day was 10 get up the oleomargarine
bill and refer it to a conference committee.
Mr.. Reagan opposed both the regular order
and the oIeomargarine BILL 80 as to call up
the Interstate commerce bill, but his motion
to that effect was defeated, and the motion
of Mr.. Hatch, who has the oleomargarine
bill in charge, to 60 into committee of the
whole, in order to consider bills for rails
ing revenue, and thereby reaching the oleo.
margarine bill, was adopted. But before
that bill was reached on the calendar the
tariff bill was called, and, on that, to the
surprise of every body, Mr.. Morrison called
| the ayes and noes. The butter men, how
ever, as shown by numerous aye and no
votes, have a working majority, and will
doubtless attain their object.
