At the Logau Burbau there was a revival of music by the band, and tho drums and cymbals were pounded with about the same intensity as on Monday, In fact, theve was n gozeral love.fonst, and the managers of tho swartby Egyptian jwere in better spirits. than ever. Tho claim which they mado last evening, to the effect that thoy tind captured James, tho successful candi- date for the Sponkership, turna out to be partially true.

It was ngreed that, whonevor tho propor time camo, the followors of -Shaw shonld be turned over to Jumes, on oqimlglenf.lon of the latter's pledge to vote for.Logan on one ballot during the caucus. James was inter. viewed by your correspondent, and lho ac- knowlodged tho corn. He said ho was bonnd to bavo the Bpeakorship. - 1le oamé hero for the purpose, and, if, a littlo thing like voting ouco for Logan would give,him the coveted prize, he would ~ bs .a fool mot to do it DPolitienl oxigencies, he romarked, sometimes compellod poople to do what they did not lko to, To eay that the consternntion in the Farwoll camp on the discovery of Jamos' apostacy was intense, mildly oxpreascs it.

During tho day they have been endoavoring to form a conli- tlon with tho Greenbackers, onoe or two of whom sre old-time personal friends of the Big Fudian. Hpringer, the Cook County mauager and head.centro of the Fiat party, denies this, but Loug Jones adimits it, though ha declines to state with what result, PAT POPE, formerly a lawyer iu Cairo, who enjoys the dublous honor of being a law partner of Dan Munn, and Lere trying to maunipulate the doubtful members of the Cook County dele- gations ngain, essayed to capture Art. ley, the Boclalisf Benator, but Lis attempt was a fruitleas ove, This distingnished Himb of the law oocupics o room with George ‘White and Davo Clark, of Chicago, aud hus efforts to fix things with the former are moro than laughable. 1e hnu not yet tried his haud on Dave Clark, aud the latter is just achiog for an opportunity to tell him what be thioks of dulldozing. Dur. ing the afternoon there were rumors that the disappointed frieuds of Morrison, the uu- successful candidate for Speaker, would to- morrow wnake a quast bolt on the orgeniza- tion of the Ivusv, for the purpose of letting Logan kuow how they regarded his treachery to thelr caudidate in selling him out for James.
