A WASHINGTON special to the Cincinnati
Senator Logans action in the Payne case by
intimating that Logan's Republicanism in
recent years has not been above suspicion, and
that even General Grant thought the Illinois
Senator was getting ready to go over to the
Democracy" We take no stock in this, and
do not think Republicans generally will. The
Washington correspondent of the Commercial
Gazette is noted for the. unyielding per-
tinacity with which he pursues those who fall
under his displeasure. Of honest and honor
able impulses he is an unrelenting and vim
dictive enemy. Senator Logan's course in the
Payne case was a painful surprise to his
friends, the Journal among the rest but it is
not necessary to seek an explanation of his
action in far-fetched theories, much less
by the imputation of the basest and most dis
honorable motives. If we are to account for
his course in the Payne case by such motives,
why not for that of Senator Evarts? Is he
also preparing to go over to the Democracy?
The Journal thinks they both erred in their
action in the case referred to- but public men
may err without being base and treacherous.
Senator Logans fealty to the Republican
party is above suspicion, and doubtless the at
tempt to give the weight of General Grants
name to so injurious suspicion is gratui-
tous insult to him as well as to Senator Logan.

THERE is one thing to be said in favor Of
John Bull. When he finds he has made a
palpable mistake he is apt to admit it, and
sometimes apologies for it, Canada is q
younger brother of John Bull and possesses
the family characteristics. The Canadian au-
. thorities have just notified the United States
consul-general at Halifax that they are pre-
pared to refund the fine of $500 imposed sew
eral months ago on Gloucester schooner for
alleged breaches of the Canadian customs
regulations The case was aggravated by the
fact that, the day after the schooner was
seized, and while technically in the custody
of the Canadian authorities her Yankee mas
ter hoisted the stars and stripes at her mast
head. In the eyes OF the small officers of the
law this was adding insult to injury, and fine
Of $400 was imposed and collected. But, after
full Investigation, the higher authorities have
decided that the fine was wrongly imposed
and have signifed their readiness to refund it,
thus making confession and rectifcation of
error. The Yankee skipper gets his money
back, and has the proud satisfaction, besides,
of knowing that he made the Canucks very
angry by unfurling the stars and stripes in
their faces
