WA6HI30TOX, June SO. Geu. John A. Logan, the latest Republican candidate for Vice President, haa been bear 3 trout again. Lie made a speech in Beaton last night which has attracted a great deal of comment here, considering tbe peculiar condition of.

public affairs in regard to the course of the Adiwia-. istration in keeping tbe rascals in, TheelToct of Gen. -Logan's spesch' has been to simply rigbton bis own party riends bo bold ofiice her by tbe great ami unprecedented tang-nanAiuity of their political oppoueuU ia power, and to prove to tbe entire satisfaction of all fair-inindd men how absurd it ia for Democrats to expect any thanks from the Republican as a partr for kiud, courw- ons and substantial benefits. There axe to-day holding ofhee in tbis country one hundred taousaud republican with salaries raneine from 1 50 to $5,000 per anuum. "With tbe exceptiou of perhars 15,000 of thefce employes who are protected by the Civil-service law.

this- vast army of offensive republican partisans, uUy 85,000 hold their places by the wUl aud pleasure of a Iemocraue President. These 85,000 men, or a large majority 'of tSem, have held tboir offices so lone that they think they own tbero, and have-been, nearly a quarter of a century fighting Democrats and Democratic principles, and yet feur months after the inauguration of a Dtmocratic President, per cent, of ihe Rspublicaa office-hold till retain then placet, and a man defeated for Vice Preu-dent by tbe people makes a political speech and abuses a bemocraiio Administration because it has dared to turn out a few thou- sand Republican employes out of over 100.000. A MATTER OS" CIIKKK. This- is sublime cheek, and, by the way, it is the same old cheek the Republican party leaders have always worn. I am glad far one that Liogmn baa shot off bis mouth in tbe way that be did last night.

Itoayhavs some good elTect lipoa tbe powers that be in Washington. It may ciua them to realise that in toeir efforts to temporize with republican civil service siatesnsen they will gain nothing in the and tut the eurte) of tbe Repoblicaa leaders and the unfriendliness of their own party friends. There ia bo nee to deny the fact, that either t'ue lKjuiocratic or Republican party has got to rota this country and it is equally useless to pretend that one party can succeed at an election with the understanding that tbe beaten party sbaU be allowed to hold tbe oflices. Itis folly to suppose that political campaigns can be fougbt and wen upon such conditions. Tbe General of an army may as well issue an order that if bis trocps whipped tbe enemy in the next battle, they should surreuder their side arms to tbe conquered foe.

BEAR C3 ARIGHT. Do not think because I give expression to such sentiments that I am opposed to reform in the public service, or to tbe true doctriue of civil service, for I am not. I am in favor of every competent man in the employ of the Government, who has sot fought tbe Democratic party and its principles, and who is protected by the civil service' rules, keeping bis place. On tbe other hand. am in favor of every incompetent man or woman in tbe Government employment who have by words and deeds opposed the success of the democratic party losing thir place.

I am p4cially and particularly -opposed to the retention of the thousands of Postmasters throughout the country who nave for many years used their post-office buildings to holi Republican caucuses In, to plot gains the people aud to hatch corrupt schemes against the interests of the Democratic party. These Postmasters in many cases have gone so far as to destroy Democratic newspapers passing through or coming to their offices, and to criminally suppress letters' addressed to well known Democrats in their town or cities. It is a notorious fact that in every Rational campaign during and since ithe war, the Postmasters Of tbe country have basely used their offices to keep themselves and their party in power. 1 want to see tbe last one of these rascals removed, and 1 hazard nothing saying that. 09 Democrats In every 100 will echo the desire.

HI IS OJt GCAKD. Your correspondent at Washington is a Democrat, and has been one all his life, And has no thought of being anything else. In all questions that may arise at Washington be will new close to tbe Democratic line and anchor his faitb to tbe good old Democratic snip. lie will stand by the President and bis Administration in everything that ia Democratic and render a cordial support in conducting the Government upon economical and business principles. At the same time be wiU point ont abuses in Administration circles, and be will teU the troth as near as his information will enable him.

In short, he does not propose to be run. in the Independent Democratic way, and if tbe President or any member of bis Cabinet or any Chief tl Bureau run contrary to trui Democracy, the boys at home who placed him in power shall be kept uUy Informed of tbe fact. If tbe Democratic party is to be bell responsible for the acta of the present Administration, members of that organization should be placed on guard in all places of honor and UeItPJ1t- This is ail there is in it.

a few itepublicans from oliice and made highly-necessary reforms In the I'eusion Bureau. Tbe writer of the dispatch also abuses Gen. black because be draws a pension of 100 per mouth. It is only neces sary to say that Uou. was one of tbe most jsallant and splendid aoldiers in tbe Uuion army, Tbe Pension Committee, composed of a liepuolican majority in the Republican Senate of tbe Foriy-nfth Congress, gave tbe following reasons fur granting Gen.

Black his pension. Det tbe people read tbe report of the committee iu answer to the slandurous and scurrilous article in tbe Tribune, and judge for themselves whether the brave And Kitliant gentleman deserves his pension. Toe report is as follows; lu ilarcb, lbU'2, at the battle of Tea Ridge. LaeuC Col. was shot in the rij; bt fore arm, the bullet )iaMiiiiK between the bones about tDree inches below the ulna.

Prom AuUit, until 1877 Gen. Black was paid a peusioa. of 30 a moQtb, i based upon the injury to bts left arm. In 167 this was increased to fifty dollars a month, because of the loss of the otuer arm.

He now asks that tbe ribc to fifty dollars per month be recognized lroni 1S05. Tbe committee ia convinced tuat the claim is well founded. A stroug, hsaitby mau, possessing tine talents aud great abilities, who would have tcatuered fame and wealth, has bica stricken in biscouutry'stervice. He asks file country he served so well to give bread to himself and an opportunity to educate his children. Tbe committee, however, respect-fuujr submit that instead of granting arrears of peusiou.

Congress should recoguize- the distiuguUlied claims of Gen. Black aud grant him a pension of 100 a month, and therefore they raeummeud the passage of the accompany lug bill." TH1.NX1XG THEM OCT.

In tbe ofilce of the First Assistant Postmaster Oeneral 1 additional clerks; are provided for, moat of tbeui being specially detiiguated for service iu the salary and allowance division, in connection witb tbe adjustment of accounts of Postmasters under the terms ot tbe act of March 5, 1884. For the settlement these claims an appropriation of 117,800. will be available.

The new Appropriation Bill contains a clause authorizing the of third-class oflices. Aa theie are 1,837 such oflicea, aud the appropriation is only it is" not probablo that the provision cau be carried out. A rough estimate places the sum required for the purchase at 531,000 per annum. Provision was also made for tbe establishment of a system o. special delivery cf letters immediately upon their receipt at the po(-olhce, but tbe Postmaster General has" not yet given the matter bis personal consideration.

It is possible that the system will be tested in one or more of the largest cities urxt auuuuii, aud iu extension will depend cu the result of the experiment. In tbe otliee of the ocood Assistant; Postmaster General, toe appropriation for Star-route rer vices has beeu increased (300.000 for raUroad service aud for railway postal clerks 110, W0, thus allowin. for a wholesome expansion of the transportation service.

The revenue uf the Post-otBce Department will be seriously affected by tae new legislation. To-oiurruw letters weighing an ounce or iees may be sent for two cents, and the rate on newspapers mailed by publishers wdr-be reduced from two cents to one cent per pouudv.

Lucille Yscult Dndley is being tried for the assault on 'Donovan. Koaaat was again crowded to ex to-day, when the taking the taking of testimony was con tinued. Charles K. Dennison, who dressed Kosea'a wounda, testified as to their location and character. This ended the case for tbe prosecution.

Counsel for Mrs. Dudley then opened for the defense. He churned tnat Mrs. Dndley had assaulted Rosea not out personal spite or to avenge a persfnal insult, but because "be was fan enemy of her country." Counsel discussed the subject of Irish patriotism. In outlining the line of testimony for tbe defense, counsel spoke of what he termed Mrs.

Dudley's "physical infirmity. He said be would show that for several years sbe bad been subject to epileptic fits, lie would show that 'her mind had been-affected by these fits, and that sbe a6t, in fact. responsible- for her own- conduct. Counsel submitted a number of letters from English physicians in the various institutions in which his client bad been confined for treat ment, setting forth 'the character, of her disease. The deponents declared Mrs.

Dud-' ley was not in her right mind. Several persons testified to Indications oi Mrs. Dudley's Mrs. Dudley here interrupted tbe prooeedines of the court' by addressiug Judge Gildersieeve. She said: ''Whether I was irrational or not when I shot Rossa, 1 am perfectly sane bow, and wish to testify in my own behalf: If the case goes to the jury now without their having heard me, they will form an entirely erroneous im- preiai'on of my motives, and know why 1 shot Itoesa.

Ida doctors saia tnat 1 said that I bad a mission, when they should have said that 1 had an inclination. The Judge said 'she had better confer wiia ber counsel, and wben the time came tbe Court would bear ber. Mrs. Dudley's counsel said that ther found themselves in a somewhat peculiar position. They bad been try iug to prove that their client was insane.

Hne on her part insistea that she was not insane at tbe time of the attack, and insisted on ber right to go on the stand ind testify on ber own behalf. Counsel could not see bow ther could do otherwise than call ber as a witness. It as finally agreed that sbe should be called to the stand after reenss Alter ibe recess Mrs. Dudley's lawyers tried their best to get her to forego her de- termination of becoming a witness. She persisted in her intention, however, and at a word from tbe prosecuting counral sbe waiked quietly to the itness chair and waa sworn.

Then she said: "Ukxtiamex of tbi Jort I may or I may not be insane, but if it is accurate that my action was for tbe possession of tha al- migbiy'dolLir, then I have no doubt you will readily decide that I am not insane. I wish vou to decide my case by acquitting me on the ground that my action was justifiable, or to convict me. 1 was in donbt as to whether Jeremiah O'Donovan, Patrick Ford or Mezgrofl was tbe most responsible.

He bad shown himself to be one." You bave no proof except his own word." "No, but I beiieved him. I now consider him a liar. If 1 am homicidal, it is queer that 1 never shot any one before. 1 have carried a pistol, and bad it loaded, too, since I was xteeu years old. At that age I was living in tbe country, and there was a great scare about mad dogs, so that everybody men and women who was capable of carrying a revolver did so.

Ki-Vl -MUX'S UliU.K CO MIS, The Limit Nearly I on the feueertor Bonae Facts Abaai the tssn ef Appeala. Special to the Courier-Journal Frankfort, June 30. The term of four years, for which tbe Superior Court waa created in 13S2, will expire in another year, and there is but oue meeting of the Legislature, before that time, to take tbe question of its continuance or discontinuance into consideration.

In order that an intelligent understanding of the situation might be arrived at, the Clerk's Office was invaded this morning and an investigation entered Into for any facta and figures that might present tbemselves. Tbe Deputy Clerks, Captains Tbomai G. Poore and Sam M. Gaines, were accommodating enough to grant every re quisite facility for tho purpose. They aakt it was an opportun call to obtain correct statistics, as both Appellate Courts bave recently adjourned, and that enabled them to close np tbe bosinees for the year.

In the Court of Appeals tbe total cases on band September 1, and filed since then. were Tbe same in the Sspenor Court were 1,04, or a total in both, courts of a.OJl. Both courts decided 2,313 cases since that time, leaving undecided at the close of tbe present term 711 case. At the September term. tbe estimated ap- pearancos will be 400 for both courts, which, with the 711 yet undisposed of.

will aggregate 1,161, or about 174 lees than both courts bad on tha docket September 1, ft may readily be seen then that since she n- gain is only 174 in three years, or about CO cases a year, it will require several year, yet to overcome the surplus of 711 on tbi docket at the end of tbe present tua in. In speaking of tbe labor perforaaed bv the NEW SERIES, NO. 6,027. court, the clerks said that a faiF estimate for the Superior Court will place the aver age, of each record between 100 pages of 'writing, and that each ud go during the year reads from 30,000 to 40,000 pages of manuscript, which, as every one knows. Is a more-tedious and tiresome task than to read an equal quantity of printed matter.

Tbe average of tne records in tbe Court of Appeals is 008x17 three times greater, i A distinguished lawyer, to whom tbe statistics in memorandum were shown, said: "It is a great mistake to applaud a Judge because be does a great deal of work, unless be does it well. Toe more bad work be does tbe more barm he does. Jio Judge should undertake to do more than can be well done. Us should regard the quality ot his work only and let the quantity take cars of itself. Tnis requires time for reasoning and research.

An honest Judge will not pretend to a knowledge of all the law, nor can he remember all he oace learned. He must go to tbe books and study. If decisions bearing on tbe question at issue have not been uniform, it takes time to get together, to read and consider all of them, so as to render a dicision which nas-tne soundest reasoning at bottom. Justice between Utigauita ia the end of all judicial labor. But the higher purpose of a court of last resort is to declare rules of law by which tmal courts may.

see that Justice is done; and to bold sucb courts to a steady observance of those rules. How it is no small labor to ascertain correctly what bas been decided, to pore over the decisions numbering many1 volumes from every State, to read, select, collate and compare, with each other. I believe that to attain tbe best results, it is desirable that tbe court should be able to thoroughly consider every case, and to dispatch business as fast as it comes in. But it ia better to be the docket than to be so hurried as to write bad law or to write opinions so loosely that another would be required to determine the meaning." To return to the statistics, it. the Court should not, be continued there would probably be in tbe Courtof Ap- peals, when it beginsita September term, 18S6, about 1,100 cases which it would certainly take more than two years to decide.

If the) appearances do not diminish in the inew n-tune, those two years will bring in more than 1,400, for the appearances from January. to September, 1883. were 712. and from January, 1884, to September, 1884.. 737, or a total of 1,449.

The same reason. then, as at the creation ot tha Hupenor Court will again become imperative. "There is but one way to avoid the evil of hasty judgment of tbe injury resulting from delay," said tbe lawyer alluded to, "and that ia to provide courts capable of deciding all cases as they appear, with time to carefully consider each."

SpecUtl to the Courier- Journal. I Philadelphia, June 30. Last night the. thermometer fell twenty degrees, and a warm day was followed by so cold a night that every blanket- and overcoat in camp in demand. The soldiers never slept better though, the really cold wind inducing them to turn in long before taps; so this morning too- drills were marked by unusual excellence.

"Company of Louisville, was marched down to the drill grounds, where the competitive drills will be held, and fori throe boors pa up a drill that Capt.

Tbe of tae grounds will be rather favorable to oor boys, aud it is pretty to say they wilt get in somewhere on the prize list.

The local press have veered, completely around, and all are publishing large daily reports of the camp, and nsing the moss cordial language ia welming tbe soldiers. There are now in camp about 3,600 men, including two United States batteries. It ie quite a journey to go through the camp. '1 bousahds of visitors, in all kinds of elegant equipages, drive i out every day and ail day long. Gen.

This will be given in tbe fenced inclosure in front of the stand and will be a grand sight as, over 3.O0O men will be in line. The Kentucky boys are having a splendid time, many of them going into town every day. There is not a sick man in the Kentucky and for them at least the affair is a success. Much regret is felt that the boys at boma bave been ordered out, and all hope that they will not be needed long and that Gen. Castleman will come on.
