structed to give him another chance. and that
took the place of one that was far more severe
in its terms; reported the memorial and
resolutions of the Republican editors of Ohio
without a personal reflection upon the three
Senators who had gone astray, and offered the
possible explanation for them that they did not
know what we of Ohio know. or they could not
have done So This, with some kindly meant
observations about the rhetoric of Logan, with
view of bringing him gently to know that the vo-
alteration of extravaganza is not eoquence. Is the
record that the Senator finds so hostile and
offensive. The only way 30 mend it Is to speak
of him with less consideration: but this natural
tendency will be restrained, even when the
exuberance of his vanity and the fury OF his
temper are most manifest by the remembrance
that he was a gallant soldier, the representa-
tive leader of the young men of the West,
who swore the Mississippi river should run free

up to the admiration of Senators. and galleries
and mankind. one of Mr.. Phister's cartoons. and
to have read Mr. Halstead's letter to Governor
Chase, thus stimulating, we trust the evo-
luton of the truth of history.
Whether the Senator ever wrote any
private letters that would make mighty interest
ing reading, we do not know. Probably he did
not. But if he had been at home waiting and
writing. instead of at the front fighting during
the war, he might have broken the accustomed
restraint of his severe style of expression long
enough to have produced something picturesque
1t is to be said of the Chase letter that it was
written one of the gloomiest days of the war,
in the belief that the Army of the Mississippi
was wasting away in the swapps under incom-
petent leadership, and with it would wait the
cause of the country and in the hope
that Secretary Chase would be startled to do
something that might help those who were ready
to perish. The writer of the letter does not
plead youth or innocence in its production, but
it was not as many years before it's date as Logan
is older than the writer that the scintillating
iberality of the statesman OF Illinois flashed
in defense of the fugitive slave law and
declarations of personal willingness to aid in the
enforcement of its provisions Called before the
country on this theme, Halstead has now to say
that few were slower than he to know the saving
value of the services of Lincoln aud Grant and
no one more grateful for them; but he believes
in the people above all Presidents, the army
rather than the generals, the greatness and
glory of the many rather than the few

What Editor Halstead Saws.

CINCINNATI. July 21-The Commercial Ga
zette in an editorial tomorrow will say:
General Logan's speech in the Senate yester-
day will surprise all but his old friends. Those
of us who have known him long, and have been
anxious for his sake many times, knew what
to address the Senate as LAWYER
and a gentleman. The consciousness
of being a candidate for the presidency
has not improved Logan, and has caused an ex-
cess of emotion that may impair his reserved
forces. His selection of the Cincinnati En-
quirer as the fountain from which to irrigate the
soil upon which his crop Of future greatness is
to be grown does not testify to his increasing en-
lightenment as a politician. The waste of the
time of the Senate in the effort to show that the
demand by the State of Ohio upon that body to
investigate the corruption in the PayEe case is a
personal matter of the editor of the Commercial
Gazette, is secondhand foolishness; and the in
significance of such an imputaton is as nearly
incredible as anything can be that has come to
pass
Senator Logan has had his share of good
fortune, but his inward resources do not seem to
have conferred happiness upon him. He has
long INDUCED the idea that the Republicans of
Ohio have not done good to him. Their sin has
been that they have had other preferences for
the presidency. They thought they could DO
that without disparaeement Of General Lo-
gan. Take the individual case of Mr..
II alstead. who is regarded by the Sena-
tor as desperately wicked. He gave, in the
Cincinnati Commercial. the first political boom
that Logan got. after his military services, by
reporting his Carbonate speech always de-
Tended Logan from the ceaseless charges made
against him by the confederates; invariably
spoke of him as a Senator with respect, and
cordially supported him as Vice-presi-
deEt; supported him vigorously through
the months of contest that resulted
in his election to the Senate reviewed re-
spectfully his book the great conspiracy and
commended it for the strength there is In it,
while others only saw its weak points; attempted
to save him from blunder in the Payne ease
by conveying 70 him the inward truths of it;
