WILKES BOOTH.
A Itemlnlaeenc of the AmmmsIii.
HA correspondent of the Hartford Evening Post
relates the following: '-ibe only time lever
spoke to Wilkes Booth wan, if 1 am not at fault,
ou Sunday, April 3, eleveo days before the
af assinatlon. 1 bad returned to Xcw York from
the bait leot Five Forks, and was aealn on my
way to Richmond. At the Metropolitan Hotel,
lookliiR In, Sunrlay, at eleven o'clock In the
moralnfr, I recognized John McCulloch, an actor
whom 1 had met at the house of Edwin Forrest,
Philadelphia. McCulloch was an amiable, com
panionable fellow, and one of very lew theatrical
people that I whs aeauainted with. lie came up
at once, and then Introduced me to Mr. Booth.
Booth I had often seen perform, and had a poor
opinion ot his talents. He was Interesting to
me thlr fly as the son of his father, about whom
1 had beard enough stories to fill a book. Stand
inn together in a group, several other per
eons being of the party, I turned my entire
coaverFatlon upon joune; Booth and made a
study of him.
The first thing that pasced through my mind
was his good looks, hoe brown color, good head,
strong hair and eyebrows and moustache, teeth
and brea'h most enivable, well knit arms,
shoulders, and neck.
"'Here,' I said to myself, Ms one of those
superb vagabonds who can drink all day with
out headache, smoke Into a cast iron stomach,
look well in any clotbes.be a devil in quiet,
hospitable families, and a breaker of hearts of
women whose hearts have been broken already.'
"Leaning easily on the counter. Angering his
mouMache end the shaved under lip below, his
face lay close nnder mine, looking up and being
apreeable as the first glimpse oi the great world.
I tbonght again:
.'What an agreeable fellow I Soft as a duke,
modest as virgin genius, without antagonisms,
making himself like my old acquaintance, yet
without familiarity 1'
"He talked of oil, the stage; said he should
rsappear; asked me If he could And me In New
York, and took my address in a little note-book.
Kot much of a truster ot actors, I heard it all
like a man of the world, and forgot it. Some
body asked us to go to a club room on Louisiana
avenue. There 1 asked Booth about his father,
wondering all the time what it must be to be
son to a tragedian, brother-in-law to comedians;
wondering if he had ever seen old Junius Brutus
come home reeling wondering many things,
but without the least idea that Booth would
ever remember more than my name again, and
Indifferent about It. I saw hlai next dead,
and felt how truly I had divined that his lite
was hollow."

JoMAH D. Hoovkb,
Act. Treasurer FlnanoIM Oomulttee,
There are many employes of the Government
in its various departments in this city wbo
claim to bclorg to tbe Democratic and Conser
vative party, and desire the election of Sey
mour and Blair, and are willing and desire to
contribute their mite in aid ot the cause. To
all such we take occasion to say that there
never was so great a demand for documents
giving light upon the great political questions
as Is daily received from all quarters of the
country by tbe Congressional Democratic Exe
cutive Committee, and that every dollar now
contributed is worth ten contributed a month
lience. Hence, we are requested to call upon
all our friends to come forward at once with
their contributions, large or small. They can
be handed to either of the members of the
Finance Committee Hon. Montgomery Blair,
or Jonah D. Hoover, Esq. or deposited at the
banking-house of Bittenhouse, Fowler & Co., to
the credit of Hon. W. H. Baruum, Treasurer of
the Congressional Democratic Executive Com
mittee. A lecord of the contributions received,
and the names of contributors, is kept for
reference at any time, now or hereafter. The
rooms of the Committee are in tbe basement of
the Capitol, where persons desiring documents
can get them. We are induced to hope that
this appeal will be liberally responded to.

Speech of Monday Floyd, one of the
Ostracised Iivgrlttlator.
Mr. Sneaker: I have not much to say to you
on this subject. I have been a .slave fltty-dve
years, and no chance to get learning, so I could
not fay much any way; but I can say that I
have tried to behave myself and act like a man
Eince 1 have been here. It I have failed to do
so, it is because I am ignorant, and I have been
made so by the very men who are now seeking
to put ns out of our seats; and I hope, it
members on the other side of the House turn
me out, they will give me credit for that much
sense any way. But, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman
from Floyd said the negro maa was inferior to
the white man. I would like to know how he
knows that. I would like to know if his fore
fathers had been kept in slavery two hundred
years, and be bad been kept in slavery for 55
years, with tbe lash over his back all the time,
and whipped if be attempted to leao his ABC,
bow much better would he be, and how much
superior would be be to me to-day f When he
gets on the floor again I would like to have him
give his vlows on this point. Mr. Speaker, the
gentleman from Floyd made some very nice
rails, but they were very old. and he laid up his
fence crooked. The honorable gentleman from
Richmond connty, in his speech, made new
rails, laid his fence so straight and high that the
gentleman from Floyd county can't get over;
that is my opinion. We Republicans
don't believe In old thing?. We believe
in going ahead not back : and I don't
believe we can be driven back, either. We are
iudt getting a little taste of learning, and believe
in going ahead, or having our children. I will
not cay any more about that, Mr. Speaker. Tbe
gentleman bad a good deal to say about social
equality mixing .up of the races amalsratnt
tion I believe he called it. Now, str, we colored
men don't want to mix up with the white men;
we all like our own color best, and if these men
that talk so much about the Inferiority of the
race, and of mixing up with the "nigger," will
let our colored women alone, we won't have so
many TlngstreaKed and speckled people among
us. We want the white men to mind their own
business, and not come sneak iug around our
women at night, or any otber time, for unlawful
pnrpfea. Now, Mr. Speaker, we are a law
abtdiTtT people, and if I ain't here according to
law I want to know It right away, so as to go
home and go to work. I thank the House for
hearing me. I haven't anything; more to say.
GENERAL GARFIELD.
lie Chars; Pendleton with Malicious
Misrepresentation.
From IheSandusky Ohio) Reo'Aer, Sept. 16,
Dear filrt Yours of t-., 7th Inst la received,
in which you inform me that Mr. Pendleton in
bis speech at Norwalk, on the previous Satur
day, used these words:
"And General Garfield In recent speech forgot
hlrmels and asked hit audience tula significant ques
tion: Do you supooee tbe loyal people of (he North
would permit the Democrat to resume cootrol of Hie
Government without a liubt r Aud further Id tbe
same speech General UarUeld. asked;-' Do you sup
pose the frpedmen would submit to Dtmocratlo rile
without i eaistanct V "
In answer, 1 have to say that I am greatly
surprised that Mr. Pendleton should so mis
represent the letter aud the spirit of my speech.
Personally he is my friend and I have alwavs
regarded him as a high-toned gentleman, and I
connot see how he could mate such a repre
sentation of me after reading the report of my
speech at Orwell, which was printed in the
Cincinnati Oommerciatot August 21. This is the
only full report of any of my campaign speeches
this fall. In that I charged that the Blair
letter snd tbe reconstruction plank of the New
York Convention meant war were a declaration
in favor of overturning eight States by tbe
bayonet and I asked it it was to be supposed
that this violence would be permitted without
resistance. Eight thousand people heard me,
and no honest man of either party who did hear
me will say that my speech can by any stretch
of construction be made to mean what your
letter represents Mr. Pendleton as saying. I
must think he had been told what he reported,
aud Is not personally responsible lor the mis
representation. Very truly yours,
J. A. Garfield.

OBITUARY.
CliunlAcli, a Prominent Chinaman of
Nan t'ranclMco.
Chun-Lock, better known as Chy-Lung, a
noted character in San Francisco, died recently
in that city. A correspondent writes that he
was the bebt representative of the Chinaman in
California. He went to San Francisco in 1850,
and immediately began business as a merchant,
importing teas, opium, silk, and lacquered
goods, Chinese groceries, etc., extensively, and
soon built np a large wholesale and retail trade,
which extended over a large part of California
and the Pacific coast, and has continued undi
minished up to the present time. He was noted
lor his correct business habits, strict probity
and honor, and polite and courteous manner.
The Atta California says of him: "Intelli
gent and highly educated in his own language
and literature, hospitable and charitable, he was
lesprcted by all classes, and the mean prejudice
of caste and race, never displayed by him, was
seldom exhibited towards him" by any one in
onr community. He was particularly noted for
his liberality towards charitable objects. During
our civil war be gave liberally towards the
Sanitary Relief Fund, and was thanked therefor
by Father Bellows, in a special letter lrom New
York. When the great Sacramento flood of
1861-2 brought desolation and distress to so
many American households, his liberality was
manifested towards our people and his own
alike no call for a contribution by our Belief
Committee passing unheeded by him. His com
mercial sagacity was well known, and his enter
prise was as great as that ot any of our Ameri
can or European merchants. The firm had a
house in Shanghai, one at Canton, another
at Hone-Kong, and recently one in Yokohama,
in addition to that in San Francisco. A few
days before bis death he expressed his determi
nation to visit New York and Chicago as soon
as the Pacific Railroad was completed, with a
view of establishing stores in those places, but
death put an end to his plans of extended enter
prise. Chun-Lock was seized with tbe dropsy,
And might perhaps have recovered, but he
obstinately adhered to the practice of the
Chinese physicians of whom he bad five-and
died according to rule, and like a true son
ot the Centraf Flowery empire. His age was
fifty-three years, by our method of computation.
He leaves an immense fortune said to bo from
$250,000 to $500,000 at least and his extensive
busiuess will go on as before, under the old
Ftyle, the interest of his family being cared for
by his surviving partners. He was a native of
the province of Canton (Quang-Tung), China,
where his family, consisting of a wife and two
or three children, rebide, and where his remains,
now resting in the vauit at Lone Mountain,
will eventually be sent for final interment."
The Alia thus describes the lunerah "The
remains of Chun-Lock, clad In costly robes ot
embroidered satin, were yesterday morning laid
on a mattress in the store, and were covered
with a rich, red satin fabric, The usual incense
slicks and colored wax candles were burning at
the foot of the body, and vessels containing tea,
pork, rice, and eggs were by the 6ide. There
was a quantity of brown paper cut into slips,
on each of which was a Cninese inscription.
These were burned by the trieuds of deceased,
as they arrived to view the remains, and tbe
ashes placed in a caldron close at hand. The
Buddhist priest, clad in a new satin robe, arrived
at 1130 A. M., and commenced the performance
of the ceremonies. He used a bell and cymbtls
as he proceeded, and from time to time passed
burning masses of paper over the corpse. He
stood before a table on which was a quantity of
articles, and chanted prayers In a clear and not
unmusical voice. At the conclusion the body
was placed in a metallic coffin, which was orna
mented with silver plate and bandies. On the
former was a very brief Inscription in Chinese
characters, and the words 'Chun-Lock.' There
was an absence of the full ceremonies at Chinese
funerals; they were short and simple. Soon after
1 P. M. the coffin was placed in a hearse drawn
by four gray horses. A large number of car
riages followed the body to Lone Alouutam,
where it was placed In a receiving vault prior to
the transmission to China for final interment.
There was a considerable number of citizens
firesent to witness the ceremonies, and pay a
ast tribute of respect to the memory ot the
tieceaBea."
THE GREAT GATHERING.
What the New York "World" Nayn or
Loyalty aud Virtue In Philadelphia.
This morning's New York World says editori
ally: Loyalty, like misery, makes strange bed
fellows. This being our text, behold its illustra
tion I On Tuesday night there was a great
radical meeting in Philadelphia. It wa? a most
respectable meeting, and of all respectabilities
Philadelphlsn respectability is tbe most respect
able. The platform was occupied by men whose
names are types in Philadelphia of virtue, and
decorum, and piety men of whose virtue Phila
delphia Is proud, and who, perhaps, are proud
themselves that Philadelphia should be proud
of their virtue. We should not name names in
such a connection, had not one of the orators
of the evening, Senator Sherman, specifically
named names before us. He referred with de
cent unction to the presence before him of three
such gentleman types, Mr. George H. Scutrt,
Mr. Jay Cooke, and Mr. Henry C. Carey, all of
them persons ot perfectly pure reputation, all
of them men who, in normal times, would
shrink sensitively from vicious contact, and two
of tbem open professors of religion. There were
firesent with these gentlemen sundry others,
ike tbem men of exemplary and pious repute.
They sat on the platform together, they listened
to the speeches, and as one orator after another
harangued the crowd and left the stand, they
applauded these orators in succession, and, ap
plauding, also 6book them cordially by the hand.
Who were tbe speakers r What hands were
thus shaken ? We need not go very far back
Into the past for an answer to tbe question.
Less than nine years ago. on a Sunday In the
early spring (It was a Sabbuth day's work),
during church time, while tbe little children
were singing hymns and tbe clergymen were
leading the people's solemn litany of prayer
for deliverance from "murder and from sudden
death," a man armed to tbe teeth met and shot
to death an unarmed man in the streets of the
Federal capital. As tbe wounded man fell he
begged for mercy. "As he lay upon tbe pave
ment," says an eye-wltnes, "resting on bis right
arm, the assailant put the pistol to his breast
and fired." Ana so the bloody deed was
done, and a sinful, unrepentant man was
hurried before bis Creator with no chance to
utter a pruyer to Heaven for mercy to himself,
no time to give one thought to hU orphaned,
motherless children. The excuse of all this,
whereby the aventring band of the law was
stayed, was tbe violated domestic honor of the
slaver, The issue of It was that ere the earib.
was dry on the victim's grave there was recon
ciliation, condonation, a reunited household,
and of a double crime one sweet oblivion.
The doer or this deed was one of the orators
of Tuesday night, In Philadelphia. The bloody
hand which did it was cordially shaken b the
welcoming and applauding respectabilities of
tbe Philadelphia platform. Does not loyalty,
like misery, make strange bed fellows f
NORTH CAROLINA.
Torture of Repnbllcmi lit the Wilson
I'ounty J nil.
Tbe Raleigh (N. C.) Standard of the 16th con
tains the following:
Robert Hilliard Farmer nnd Haywood White,
colored Republicans, were imprisoned on pro
bably fictitious charges. Eleven men were
crowded into a low dungeon teven feet square.
There was no window in the dungeon, and the
door was ot bars so closely laid that a man
could not put his finger through tbe vacant
spaces between. During the hot and sultry
summer, these pojr cretuves were jammed
together in this hole, and at night were com
pelled to sleep partially one upon another,
for there was not space lor them to occupy
singly. Tbeie was plenty other room in the
Jail, but O'Nail', the jtllor, declared his Inten
tion of putting eleven more men in if they had to
stand on one another's head, because, as he
alleged, they were d d black radicals and
ought to be killed, ai.d be wished be had all the
d d radicals in there with tbem. The offer was
made to Haywood White by Captain Lusk, th tt
be would release him from Jail if he would takn
an oath to join the conservative party. White
was snfleiing horrible torture, but replied that
he had already sworn to support the Constitu
tion and the Union, and could not violate his
oatb. Captain Lusk also promised Farmer that
if he would "no with him" (Democrat), and
induce other colored men to do so, he would let
him out of i ail as Quick as he could snun his
finger. Lusk also told him that if he got out of
an without "turning over" (he was a strong
e nil oncan) ne would oe Killed Oerore nhrht.
Findlrg it impossible to seduce either Farmer
or Vttiite, or any of the rest of the prisoners, the
course of torture was determined on torture
which has for centuries been abolished from
the prisons of England. Tbe first place to
apply it was in the diet. Twice a day a small
piece of pickled pork, fried to a crisp, and little
else than solid sal', and weighing less than an
ounce, was served to these famished creatures.
This produced thirst, and the iilor, carrying
out the instructions of his fiend-hearted Rebel
patrons, cut off the supply of water, to a quan
tity barely sufficient to support life. When the
prisoners in an agony of thirst would cry out for
God's sake to give them water, the brutal re
sponse from the jailor would be, "Come down
and get it." One day Joe Ktng, a kind of under
jailor, was cursing aud abusing radicals, when
Farmer at last replied to the effect that radicals
were as good as other people, whereupon King
struck him, Farmer, a defenseless prisoner, a
heavy blow on the side of his jw with the keys,
breaking his teeth. For some time farmer could
not eat, and he was not even allowed to have
anything to bandage hU wound. And the brutal
coward who had inflicted this injury took occa
sion alterwards to insult Farmer by asking him
how he felt.
CANADA.
The New Governor-General, Sir John
Young-.
Sir John Young, Bart., present Governor
General ot New South Wales and ex-Ionian
Commissioner, has been named far Ojvernor
General of Canada.
Sir John Young is the eldest son and heir of
the late Sir William Young, of Balleborough
Castle, in the county of Cavan, Ireland. His
father was a prominent member of the East India
Company in days past. Retiring with a fortune,
Sir William oflered himself as candidate for the
representation of Cavaa in Parliament, but was
deleatod, his political opinions not agreeing
exactly with those of the Earl of Farnham,
who possessed, through his numerous
tenanrly, the chief interest at the elec
tions in that district. . After a few
years Mr. John Young, the newly-appointed
ruler of Canada, tben a young man, presented
himself as a candidate to tbe voters of Cavan,
and was returned to represent them in the
House of Commons in conjunction with Mr.
Henry Maxwell, who succeeded to tbe Farnham
peerage, aud bas lust lot his life by the melan
choly disaster by fiie in the Irish mail train
travelling through Wales for London. Mr.
Young now Sir John Young, after the decease
ot bis father soon obtained the notice of Parlia
ment both by bis diligent attention to his duties
and his sound practical knowledge on ail mat
ters relating to Ireland. The late Sir Robert
Peel at once noticed his availability for public
Hie, and, with Mr. Young's consent, ranked him
with bis party of moderate conservatives,
anxious to do justice to Ireland without a repeal
of the legislative union. Under Peel's Premier
ship Sir John Young held the office of Joint
Secretary of the Treasury of England, in which
he distinguished hluiself by bis application to
business, bis judicious use of the official patron
age confided to him, and his freedom from reli
gious aud political preludices.
Sir John comes of an old Scotch family, hiv
ing its origin with John Youner, a "burgess of
Edlnbuigh" in the year 1541. Ths Governor of
Canada was born on the 31st of August, 1807,
and married April 8, 1835, Adelaide. Annabella,
dauebter of the late Marchioness of Headfort,
by her first husband, Edward Tuite Dal ton. His
family is thus intimately connected with ths
Countess of Cavan, Meatb, and Westmeath, in
Ireland. During the years immediately past
Sir John Young has ruled the colony of New
South Wales in a very successful manner in tbe
name of Queen Victoria, and is likely from his
habits, discrimination, caution, and experience,
but particularly from hi accurate appreciation
of the Irish cuaract. r, to prove equally useful
to the English crown in Cauada.
VICKSBURG.
General Grant' Plan of Campaign.
The JNation makes some statements of histori
cal Interest respecting General Grant's Vicks
burg campaign:
"Bis mo't trusted military friend and coadjutor,
Bherman. bad very ttrongly expostulated with him
as to the plan ot cad palgn which he had r. solved
upon, and, when the expostulation did not shake
Grent'a purpose, bad written out and teudnred his
resignation. Mr. Lincoln had wrltteu to him to toil
him he was mistaken In hla strategy And that
meant that all Mr. Lincoln's mil limy advisers
thoight him mistaken, and that tbe O'.mmander-ln-Cbler
gave him a chance to wlthd-aw hi army before
it ehould become necessary to remove him from
command. Tbe press was raving ab-nt hla manliest
Incompetency. But he made no reply to the letter,
for writing which Mr. LI i. coin afterwards apolo
gized, lie put bhermao's resignation lu h p.ioket,
without lorwardlng It. and afterward, when Vtcks
burg waa taken, gave It back, to him, Bherman tells
tbe story,"
Some of these allegations are true; some, we
think, are altogether mistaken.
It is a mistake to say that General Sherman
wrote out and tendered his resignation because
he did not approve Grant's plan of attacking
Vicksburg by way of Grand Guir and Big Black
river. He did not approve of tbe plan, but ho
told Grant that he should execute any part of it
that mleht be assigned to him just as zealouMy
as though it were his own scheme; and so he did.
We btlieve, also, it is a mistake to say that
Mr. Lincoln wrote a letter to General Grant
condemning his strategy. Like General Sher
man, Mr. Lincoln thought another mode of
attack preferable, but did not attempt to pre
vent Grant from adopting his own. After it
was all over, Mr. Lincoln wtote Grant a letter to
apologize fbr what be had thought. That was
the only letter he ever wrote on that subject.
The paper which was returned to General
Shernnan after the fall ol Vicksburg was not hU
resignation, but a simple argument of bis
against Grant's plan. Neva York Sun.

The Democracy Issue an Address In

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Nashville, Sept. 19. After a great deal of
mysterious consultation and discussion, running
through a couple of weeks past, the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee have issued an ad
dress to the people of the State, which will
appear to day. The delay in bringing out tbe
address before now was cauted by a conflict of
opinion in tbe committee on the negro suffrage
question. At last, however, the African bull
has been taken by the. horns, and colored suf
frage is squarely recognized, and tacitly in
dorsed In a qualiSed way. On this point
the address contains the following language:
Accepting the facts as we find them, recog
nizing truths as they exist, blinded by no pre
judices of the dead past to the obscurity and
detriment of our true interest in tho living pre
sent, unbia sed by passion, obeying the dictates
of reason rather than of impulse, with courage
to be just, that our guard maybe thrice armed'
acting honestly op to the principles of our party,
that there shall be no taxation without repre.
eentation, let it be universally proclaimed
throughout tbe Democratic parly in Tennessee,
rank and file, front and rear, that no colored
citizen of the State, uniting with us for the
overthrow of a common tyranny and in the
redemption of our noble State, shall be disturbed
in any of Lis ves'ed rights, if through his agency
our own rights should be restored to us with
this distinct and unequivocal pledge to the
people, through whom, and with whom, we can
alone expect to triumph over the common op
pressor. There can be no doubt as to the tri
umphant result of our combined action, our
own interests and those of the colored citizens
being mutual, and tbe Interests of the radical
adventurers being diametrically opposed to
both. This course, upon our part, is demanded
by every consideration of party expediency,
common gratitude, justice, and right.
A vigorous ennvass to secure tho colored
votes will now be entered Into, and the'ehances
are, judging from the beginning already made,
that a considerable percentage of the negro
vote will be secured by the Dp mocratc There
are now over a score ot Democratic colored
clubs, 6nd new ones are being organized at
almost dally. ,

WESTON.
lie Extennales Ills Recent Failures.
Mr. Edward Payson Wesion explains his re
cent failures thus: "After six fair trials I am
convinced that walking aj on a circular track is
not obly against my nature, but unnatural to
either man or horse. Until my last trial 1
attributed my previous failures to every cause
but tbe right one, aud it was only by accident
that I learned that it wa9 the continued walking
round tbe circle that caused the dizziness in my
head and the nauseating feeling In the stomach,
besides tbe feeling of intense drowsiness that I
could not account for. I jun only describe the
feeling as such as one feels when Inhaling ether,
with the single exception of a severe pain in the
stomach.
'A rest of twenty or thirty minutes will entirely
relieve the system, bu after tbe first attack I
find myself unable lo go bat one or two miles
without experiencing the same feelluc, and com
pelled to stop for treatment. Again, when
walking on the track, I have been unable to eat
snbbtautial food; and wbat is more convincing
proof that it is unnatural for roe, Is, that when
walking on the highway I have always ate most
heartily, and bave never been troubled witb
any dizziness in the bead or disorder of the
stomach, food alone gives the strength to walk
naturally, and when you cannot eat you are
governed by your nervous system." Mr. Weston
will attempt, on or abont the 5th of October, to
walk one hundred accurately-measured miles
on the roads in Westchester county in less than
twenty-three hours.

Having noticed in the newspapers, particularly In

General Logan wltb having Indorsed resolution of
that meeting: and, further, tbat Ueneral Lagan bad
flven meant and enoouragftneot to persons t leave
Ulnols and Join tbe fctmtuern Confederacy, eta. we

The persons signing the above are the wit

tended to be able to prove their fnlscnoodn. Mr.
I'ully, a political enemy, also made the follow
ing statement:
Cabiiondalk, IP., Oct. 22, 186 I hve never
authorised theCalro Democrat oranyperton to refer
to meregardlng ibe.cbargre made against Ueneral
Logan lu tbat paper. At ibe time of tbeir publica
tion I was in tbe Mate of Arkansas, Tbecbargei are,
to the best of my knowledge, false. I was wltu Gene
ral Logan during moai oflbeday of tbe see uid meeting
at MrloD. i am eailstled tbat he neitber took part In
nor Indorsed the proceeding. Tbe rourihlurtcle,;la
which there is a list of charges published
in the Democrat, and In which xeferenoe
Is made to me, Is entirely false, to tbe
bet of my knowledge. As to tbe seventh charge,
General Logan waa not In Marlon at tne time. It
was by my request tbat Mr, Allen addressed tbe
company. I also further state that Ueneral Logan
was not at the meeting In Marlon on April 15, 1861. at
which anti-war resolutions wera panned. Although
dillerlng with General Logan In politics, I believe
blm to have always been a loyal man. and am not
willing tbat my name should be used to defame a
neighbor and an honorable soldier.

The N. Y. Herald of tbis morning says:
"There was great excitement In the stock market
yestercay, the volume of business being very heavy
and the movement ol prices itrongiy upwards, esDe
clally tor .New York Central Northwestern and Pa
ciho Mall, the advance lu the last-mentioned having
been equal to about four per ceut. since tbe close last
evening Brie waa largely dealt In, and It sold np to
4b at one time: but late In tbe afternoon It snlTered a
sudden relapse to 47. Money waa in extremely
abundant supply, aa usual or late, and large amounts
weie oilertd to the principal dealers in Govern
ment atcurltles at two per cent., although tbe
regular rate on United ritatea stocks Is three
aud on mixed collateral four. The bauks report that
thty are receivu g more curr.ncy from tue West than
they are sending "here, and that the aoplications for
discounts from Western banks are light, while they
apprehend do disturbance from irjparailons tor tbe
suarteily autements of tbe national banks to be
made on tbe first Wednesday In October. In commer
cial paper there Is a very moderate decree oraoilviiy,
aud ibe best (tiade passe ilrexiy at 6(j7 percent, dis
count But although money is so cheap and abundant
at present, It la reasonable to look for ulmlnlshel ease
later In the season and an advance in the rale of in
terttt for a limited leng'h of time to six and seven per
cent. The supply will, however. It Is more than
likely, be fully equal to the demand at these figures,
and t e probabliltyofauch a change need occasion uo
apprehension among borrowers."
Ths New York Trioune ot this morning says:
"Money remains unchanged at 85 per cent.; ths
lowest rates Is on Governments at 4 per cent.
Brokers are supplied on miscellaneous secarl les
with some small loans made at 8 per cent. At the
close money waa offered In large amounts, and In
some caaea loaned at 8 per cent.
