Il was with General Logan all through the
war; said a military looking man on the rear
end of a Madison-street car last evening, land
In all that time / never saw him shrink in battle.
| used to think Hancock led q charmed life, but
Logan's contempt for singing and screeching
lead was even more pronounced than that of the
great West Point soldier. While the battle of
Kenesaw mountain was in progress l saw Logan
ride at full speed in front of our lines when
the bullets seemed to be falling thicker
than hail. Bareheaded. powder-stained
and his long. black hair huttering in
the breeze, the General looked like a mighty
conoueror of medieval DAYS. He did not know
what danger was. Standing upright in the
~stirrups of his saddle, | have seen him plunge to
the head of a charging column and bury himself
in the smoke and flame of the enemy's guns.
A few minutes before the good Mcpherson fell
at Atlanta a shell burst within twenty feet of
General Logan. Turning to Mcpherson, who
had been slightly stunned by the explosion, Lo-
gan coolly remarked:
General, they seem to be popping that corn
for u.s.
Twenty minutes later Mcpherson lay bleed
ing on the fieiG. while Logan, who had assumed
mman of the troops, was hurting his battal-
ions against the enemy with the skill of a born
soldier"

"The death of Logan has sealed forever the
lips of one man who might have told the whole
story of the plans and intentions of President
johnson against the government. as they were
related In part by Grant to Chauncey N. Depew,
and by the latter made public a year ago. The
only remaining man who is now possessed Of the
secret is ex-Secretary Boutwell,, who has thus
far remained silent, because he received his in
formation in confidence from Grant. General
Logan was with Grant and Stanton in Wash
ington during their memorable contest with
Johnson. He was in Stanton's Office through the
nights of anxiety and doubts in that troublesome
period. When Grant and Stanton went to their
homes for rest. Black Jack remained on duty
IN the War Department, ready for any emer-
gency. / had a talk with him once abouI this
matter, and asked him to remove the seal from
his lips. His reDly was that he would not talk
because OF the differences that had existed be-
tween himself and johnson, and his fear that he
would be charged with speaking from revengeful
motives. Before the war Logan was q Demo
erat. as johnson was, and they naturally came
together when johnson was elevated to the Vice
presidency.
cit was Johnson's veto of the Freedman's Blu
reau bill that severed their relations. Logan
told me that on that occasion he went over to
the White House to tell the President that their
political ties we're forever to be dissolved. i am
going nome, MIR PRESIDENT. ne said, and l shall
make a speech, and l intend to talk about that
veto, and I intend to aEtagonize you in no un-
certain language. / consider it an outrage upon
the country, upon the Republican party, and
upon the black man Of the South. We have
been rpon such terms of personal relationship,
Mr.. President. that / have thought it only fair
chat / should apprise you of my Intentions
The President walked the floor for an hour as
he talked and argued with Logan, but without
purpose. The General declared that his mind
was made up. and that nothing would change it
He went home and made q speech that electri-
fed the West, and did as much as any other one
thing to bring about the downfall of Johnson. /"

Hon. Joseph G.. Cannon.

special TO the Indianapolis journal.
DANvILLE, ILL.,, Dec. 29-Hon. j. g. Cannon,
after spending part of the holiday season with
his family in this city. left, to-day. for Wash
ington, D. c., to extend his sympathies in
person to Mrs. Logan and to partici-
pate with the Illinois delegation in the
obssquies of the late soldier, statesman and
patriot. In speaking of the death of General
Logan, Congressman Can non said to your CORE
spondent, "We have lost a great man, and his
death is a sad blow, both to the Republican
party and the Nation. l called on him just be-
fore leaving Washington, and had not the re-
hottest idea but that he would be up on my
return" In reply to q question as to General
Logan's successor, Mr.. Cannon said: I'm view
of the great calamity, ! think that question
should not be discussed until General Logan has
been laid in his last resting place, and aS the
Legislature meets in January, l doubt not that
1t will choose a competent successor"
Senator George E. Bacon and Representatives
II. p. Blackburn and Charles A. Allen, of the
Thirty-frst senatorial and Representative dis
trict, are unqualifedly in favor of Mr.. Cannon
as the successor to the late Senator Logan. and
the same is true of the members Of the House
and Senators from Coles, Douglas and Cham
2aign counties, and, in fact, the Republicans
throughout the Fifteenth congressional district
favor Mr.. Cannon for the Senate first, last, and
all the time. The press Of the district is equally
united on Cannon as being the man to succeed
Logan. All say, irrespective OF party, that the
long experience Of Mr.. Cannon in Congress, he
having served fourteen consecutive years, hls
sterling worth as a man, his great common
sense and comprehensive grasp of business an
4Hentiy qualify him for the Senate. He is very
popular. having been nominated almost every
vine by acclamation, and SO nominated the last
time, and elected by q largely-increased major
ity. He has the support of the old soldiers. be-
cause he has always stood firmly for their rights
and rendered them many services.

Adjutant-General tonight. by direc-
ton Of the Governor, ordered seven
additional companies Of the Fifth and
Eighth regiments to report here at
once. This is not owing to the fear Of
an open conflict with the riotous ele-
ment, but simply as a precaution to in
sure the guarding Of railroad and other
valuable property. The city has very few
policemen, and has very limited facilities
for subduing fires. The railroad-yards
and grain warehouses extend for dis
lance Of fully six miles along the east
bank Of the Mississippi river, and the
difficulty which is presented Of guard
irg the property, scattered over such
an extent Of territory, requires neces-
sarily very large body of men. The
arrival Of additional force will make

Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
RALEIGH, y. c., April lot may
seem incredible. but it is true, that
there is within five miles of Wadesboro,
Arson county, on the southern border
of this State, an entire family Of aver
age intelligence so superstitiOus that
one Of its members is to-day sorely
afflicted with an imaginary spell put
upon her by her mother-in-law,
as she fancies, and which all
the powers of voudooism cannot re-
move. The victim is young woman
who was married eighteen months ago
to an industrious, well-to-do young
man, who carried his bride to the house
Of his mother, where they lived together
happily until few weeks ago, when
the young wife, who had in the mean
time become mother, became sick and
continued to grow worse from day to
day as the idea fastened itself upon her
that she was bewuched. She returned
to the home Of her father, who is con-
jurer. He readily agreed with his
daughter that she was bewitched, and,
after exhausting all his skill, declared
that he could not remove the
charm because the afflicted woman
vas Of his own blood. lie sent Tor
Able Lindsay, a voudoo. living in the
neighborhood, and promised him $50 if
he would remove the spell from his
child and put it upon the one who be-
witched her. The attending voudOo,
after exhausting his alleged skill. gave
It up as a hopeless case, and caused
another voudoo to be called-the great
est of them all. The latter keeps his
identity as great mystery as he does
the secrets of his alleged art,
and nowhere appears in day
light. Last Saturday night the two
youdoos passed the night in all kinds of
msnipulations and incantations over the
afflicted woman, such, for instance. as
rubbing her with frogs and lizards,
the boiling OF silver coins, the waving
of arms, and calling Of spirits. There is
much interest felt in the matter in the
Many people are indig-
pant that such gross superstition should
exist. All sympathize with the I'M
happy young husband and afflicted
wife, who doubtless suffers as much as
if she was stricken with some real dis
order instead Of being the victim Of her
fathers superstition and her own erratic
fancy.

EDUCATION.

Omlng Tue week Just ClOSeu. Alas,
how futile are human hopes in a contest
with a House committee The cham
picns Of labor have wrestled with the
bill until its features are unrecogniza-
bic, and by the time it reaches the
House il will not have a trace Of the
original. One Of the propositions pend
ing is to take the money TO be used for
the public schools from the proceeds Of
the sale Of public lands instead Of from
the United States Treasury direct. The
Educational Committee will, how
ever, take the matter up next week.
and the probability is that it will report
the Blair bill back to the House with
out any material change. The turn
that affairs have taken has engeHdered
q spirit Of rivalry between the two
committees, and an early report may
be looked for from both OF them. That
both measures will be pressed for con-
sideratlon argues well for the success
OF an education bill being adopted at
the present Congress. with the chances
favorable to the Blair bill as it came
from the Senate.
