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 i
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 i
strength and ondurance , with n will c
iron and a constitution as tough as ;
Bturdy 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. Sen
ator Cullom spoke of his poverty , and sail
that 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 conferenci
committee 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 sine
American 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. IIhac
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 and chivalrous qualities of head and
heart distinguishing attributes of the true
solelier and great man among all nations
and tongues.
Senator Fryc said that senators had to
day brought anel would bring garlands and
wreaths with which to decorate the grave
of the eleael soldier and senator. Heslioulel
content himself with offering asingleflower.
Logan was an honest man. lledielnot
mean by that that he woulel not steal nor
bear false witness anel that he had not "an
itching palm , " but he meant that he had
an honest mine ] , an honest purpose , an
honest habit of thinking. In conclusion Ae
said : "Logan was a fearless , honest man.
May our dear Lord give him blessed rest
and glorious immortality. "

months' imprisonment upon each , the sev
eral terms of imprisonment to follow one
[ mother. After serving out his first term
fie 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.
