CLEVELAND, Dec. 29.-Gen. Logan's las:
public speech was delivered at a g. A. r.
campfire in Youngstown, Ohio, on Nov. Is,
little more than five weeks ago. In the
course of his remarks he said. 81 am often
accused of saying things that policy would
dictate should not be said, but don't care as
long as l am right. believe in pensoning
every soldier now living that went into the
service, either for long or short term, who
was wounded in the service or contracted
disease, or has since, through no fault of his
own, become disabled. believe in pension
ing every soldier that has arrived at the age
of g. Pass that kind of a law, and Justice
would be done. Some say it is too much.
No, it is not. This country can never pay
the debt it owes the gallant men who went
out in her defense at time when the very
life of the nation was assailed.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 29-The supreme

cases, holding the titles valid. The case is Of
great interest in the northwest, as many per-

land sold for taxes, even though the taxes
had been paid and the proper officer had for
some reason failed to give the proper person
credit for the same. Great injury has been
