Grant, In the Sonate yesterday, Mr, Vast, the Ilourbon Senator from Missourl, ob- Jected, Mr. Bayard thought the bill should be postponed, In view of the probable pas- sageof ablll for pensioning ex-Presidents. Gen. Logan commented soverely on the con- duct of those Senators who opposed a bill mnklug provislon for tha great Captain of the loyal legions of the Natlon, pointed out | that England bad munificently rewarded her grent military Captain, Welllngton, and her mreat naval Captain, Nelson, and urged that 1t was meet and just that the American Na- tion should reward the greater service ren- dered 1t by the most tlusirious soldier of the age. .Ben “Hill spoke somo words of enlogy on Gen. Grant, and satd that tho suceess of tho Federal troops was owing solely tu Gen, Grant, but still he was not pre- pared to vote for the bill. Vest then made n long speeck, during which he repeatedly pro- tested that the South was foyal, but he could uot, as a representative of that section and a Demoetat, vote for the bill, Iie thonght the Republlean party ought to care for Gen. Grant, to whom he alluded 78 ono of the politieal corpses of tha Chieago Conventlon, Senajor Logan replied to Vest's speech, and showed that the Democrats nd placed on the retired listmen who had resigned their com- missionsat theoutbreak of the Civil War, The mornlng hour having expired, Senator Logan asked for further timo for the conslderntion of tha bill, but the Demoerats objected. A vote was faken, nmd consideration was post- poned by u vote of28 to 25, The vote was a party one, except that McPherson, Lamar, and Davis (I1L) voted with the Republicans, Ir Is not Judge Fitzgerald’s fanlt if Tar- nell, Diltop, and their fellow-traversers aro not found guilty..

YpnoM THE RECORD . Wasnyaroy, D, €, Jan, 3i.—Mr Logan agked unnnimous consent to tnke up tho biil to retire Gen, Grant, - Mr. Vest objected, JMr. Logan then moved to Iny nslde all prior ordors and take up the bill, Mr. Bayard suggested the prapriety of de- forring tho considuration of the praposition, Inview of the probabiiity of euarly nction upon the goneral measuro to supply what e regarded as o deficlency by providing’ penslon for our ox-I'residents, o thought that the provislon for-a single Individuni }\nmed could be amply. covered by s general 2w, «Mr, Logan said It was true the proposition was an excoptionnl one, and ha deslred it 1o be so consldered, for the emlnent serviees of the great Captain of the luyal leglons of this mighty Republic entitled any proposition in recognition of his worth lo be acted upon indopendontly of any other, e BEFERIED TO THE PROVISION made by England for the Duke of Welling- ton amd hor great naval hero; Nelson, ns fitting ilustrations of natlonal appieciation and gratitudo for eminont public.servie. But, when an approprintion was made for restor- Ing our great Captain to a pluce 1 the serv- ico which he (Logan) kuow Gen, Graut had Jeft with great reluctance when named for the Presldency, there was upparent In the Senato a disposition to higgle over the de- talls, and to get around the propusition by some uctlon that woull not npke this un ex- ceptional ¢ass, ‘The Senate had passed with: out objectlon sevoral bills of 5 ‘ AN EXACTLY SIMILAK CIARACTER for the benetit of individuals who, whether unworthy or not, were certainly less desery- ing than U. 8, Graut, Yet there seomed to be a diversity of oplnion on' the polnt'of recognlzing the ‘muerit of ‘one to whom this country was indebted, from a money-value point of view, to an amount far greater than all the millions of gold:in the vaults of the Treasury could pay. lle contrasted the ac- tion of the Pediocratic wajority on the Fltz Jolun Prier bill with that which thoy were now likely to take, Mt MILL (6A) sald he was not prepared tovote on the prop- sition to-day, and would, therefore, vote agalnst Mr. Logan's motion, but his Inclinae tlon was to vota for the bl it he could do a0 cousistently. with his sense of duty to the public. e would not do so, however, for the reason given by 3Ir. Logan in its favor, After stating what he charucterized as the threo preat epochs In Ametican history,— newmely: settlement of the colonies, the ese tablishment of constutionnl governsnent, and the revolution boginning in 1861, which affalr had accomplished great results,—dr. Il sald he regariled (len. Grant as- the most re- markable inan whom the events of that revo- Tutlon had developed, and, in his judgment, the one wmnn without whom the rovolution WOULD NOT IIAVE BEEN A SUCCP8S. This, ko sald, was not . a hasty or fll-con- sldered remark. Whatever his merits or de- mierits, Gen. Grant would take his place in bistory as the great representative man of the revolution of 1561, simply because, from the prenliar circumstances that surrounded him, he would be regurded as the one man on either side of the Jine withont whom that revolution would not have been n suceess. Whether this renson woultt prompt. hin (I111) to support Mr. Logan's bill or not he was 1ot now prepared to say. Inspenking ashe did, he did not desire tocater to the opposit sikde of the Chamber, ,nor dld his remarks mcusure in the slightest degree any opinlon he might entertain of Gen. Grant personally, ML VEST sald he had objected to the constderation of the bill on principle, and he was equally op- posed to any legislation on the subject of tho kind suggested by Mr. Bayard. He did not propose {o be dragred to-lny Into any partls san discussion in regard to the Jate War, If he could aveld ft. Gen, Graut would, be- yonul question, pass {nto history as the grent General "of that struggle. Hao (Vest) enter- talned the greatest adwiration for that Gen- eral's military skill, and disclaimed any In- tention to utter a word ngainst himn politieal- ly. ‘I'he Southern people had In every wny evinced thelr ndmiration of Grant asa sol- dier and of tha course pursued by im at the close of the War. When upon the field of Appowinttox he handed Lack to Itobert E.

Grant attested that the people of the South were as loyal to the Constitution and- flag as the people of the North, the Southern weople agatn evineed, by their loud ex- claim, their gratitude for that testimony.

Coranus, O., Jan, 24,—The telegraph con- sulldation scheme hus created a deelded opposition already, and the outlovk is not at all favorable to those who have been of the opinion that the consolidation could be pre- vented In this State by legislative ennct- ment.
