XUE SENATE'S MARK OF RESPECT.-
Which It Patd to the Memory of Gen. Zoya-on the Oth-
.Tho.
Oth of February in the United State-
senate was given up to culeigies to tho Iat-
Senator Logan. A number of speeche-
being made , Mr. Culloni , ot Illinois , leadin-
in the addresses.-Ho
.
spoke of this being tho third time ii-
the present congress that the senate ha-
been called upon to eulogize deceased mon-
bers of the body. To-day they met to la-
tho tribute ot their love on the tomb c-
Logan. . But yesterday it seemeel tha-Logan had stood among them in tho fu-
flush of robust manhood , a giant ii-
strength and ondurance, with n will c-
iron and a constitution as tough asBturdy oak. Ho hael seemed to. hoi-
within his grasp more than three scor-years and ten allotted to man. No on-
had thought in tho same moment ol Loga-and death , tho two conquerors who lun-
come face to face , and the weaker had t-
yield to the stronger. It had seemed as i
Logan could not die , and yet , in a moment-in tho twinkling of an eye , God's finge-touched him and he slept. Almost withou-warning he had passed from strength ti-
weakness , from life to death anel decav-Had ho lived until to-day , 01 years , event-ful years , would have rested their burdei-ns a crown upon his head. After skctchin-the principal events of Logan's life. Se-nator Cullom spoke of his poverty , and sai-lthat in tho last presidential campnign m-
ghoBt of dishonor in his past had risen u ]
and stooel in his path. The eulogy closei-with the quotation : "Rest , soldier, states-man , rest ; thy troubled life is o'er. "
Senator Morgan spoke of the proceeding-of tho day as not an unmeaning ceremony-He did not think of Logan as of a face tha-had passed away , but as a living , niovinj-energy still useful in the great purposes o-
divine economy. In all that Logan die-
and said he was truly sincere. A resolutely-upright man , no finesse characterized him-but he was bold , pronounced , dignified-generous , a true man-
.Senator.
Edmunds said that when ho firsi-
made the acquaintance of General Logai-some( twenty years ago ) on a conferenc-
icommittee of tho two houses , he was strucl-with his characteristics of candor , of sini-plicity of his statements , of clearness of hii-
opinion , of that Anglo-Saxon persistency-in upholding opinions once formed thai-had made our British ancestors sin-eAmerican people the strongest forces ii-
civilization of which there was any account-in the history of the world. Gen. Logai-was entitled to tho highest praise for these-qualities. . Now he thought of him. not ae-
dead but promoted , leaving them tc-
mourn his departure , not for his sake , but-because of his conscious example. Hit-conspicuous presence in public affairs and-the wisdom of his counsels were withdrawn-and so he laid his small contribution or-Logan's grave-
.Senator.
Manderson spoke of tho brilliant-military qualities of Gen. Logan. II-* hac-first Been Iiim in the front of the confeder-ate position on Kenesuw mountain. The-sigiit was inspiration. He looked of his-
hoi'bc a part. His swarthy complexion ,
his long black hair, stentorian voice , and-eyes that seemed to blaze with light of bat-tle , made a figure once seenneverforgotten.-In
.
action he was the very spirit of war; his-mere presence would make a coward fight-
.Senator.
Allison Baid that tew men of this-generation in this country hael achieved a-
more illustrious career than Gen. Logan.-He
.had linked his name imperishably with-
the military achievements that resulted in-
the restoration of union and had borne-honorable part in the legislation which had-seemed necessary for its perpetuation.-
Senator.
Spooner spoke of the marvelous-personal magnetism and daring of Gen-.Logan
.which communicated itself into the-
whole army sind turned defeat into victory.-By
.common consent he stooel the ieleal vol-
unteer¬
soldier of the weir. Among the mil-
lion¬
brave men there was one John A-
.Logan..
. Ho was the leader by divine right.-He
.was a proud man , too proud and deli-
cate¬
to claim a pension which was his elue-
for wounds and exposure on the battlefield-.But
.
he had an abiding faith that should he-
be called away before his wife the people-whom he hud servcei so long nnd so well-would not grudgingly but cheerfully pay-their elebt of honor to her-
.Senator.
Cockrell saiel that , however-he luiel differed with Gen. Logan he re-
spected¬
, admired , loved and honored him-for his many noble , generous , magnani-mous

the Sttiiveme Court-.Washington
.
dispatch : A decision was-rendered by the United States supreme-court to-day in the polygamy case ol-
Lorenzo Snow on an appeal from the de-
cision¬
of the Third judicial court of Utah-denying his applicat on fora writ of habeas-corpus. . He was tried and found guilty ol-
polygamy upon three indictments and sen-tenced
¬
to pay a fine of § 300 and to six-months' imprisonment upon each , the sev-eral
¬
terms of imprisonment to follow one-mother.[ . After serving out his first termf-ie filed a petition for a writ of habeas cor-pus
¬
and was discharged Troiii prison on the-ground that he could not be legally sen-tenced
¬
to three terms of imprisonment for-one continuous offense. The court denied-the application and he appealed. The su-preme
¬
court holds that the oh"ense of co-liabitation
-in the sense of the statute ia-
inherently a continuous offense , and not-onsisting: of an isolated act. There was ,
therefore , only a single offense committed-irior to the time the indictments were-bund. . Tho court is , therefore , unani-nously
-
of the opinion that the order anel-udgment of the district court for the Third-udicial district of Utah must be reversed-md the case remanded to that court , with-lirectiori6 to grant the writ of habeas cor-niB
-
prayed for , and to take such proceeel-ngs
-
thereon as may be in conformity with-ho law and not inconsistent with theopin-ou
-
of tho court.-

case or Maria C. Wielmar , of the North. iJ-
Platte district , tho secretary elecided that 1-
sho/
has maele satisfactory prceif of six , A-
months' residence on her pre-emption claim f II-
and is entitled to hold it. It was held by |the local land office that she had not com-plied
- § I
with the letter of the law ns to rest-
deuce.- $ j
. "It appears from the evidence , ' *" "n ' II-
says the secretary , "that sho took up no | |
tual residence in her house about the mid-
die- * j
of June , 18S4 , and resideel there con-
tinuously- , | f
until the latter part of October,.'
iji-
jover four months. Being a poor woman , ' t /compelled to earn her own living by herown labor , she went to the nearest village-of

which she taught during the months •

of November and December , 1S84 , ]

no home there but paying for her hoard at i,

she returned to her claims , fixed up her V'j-
