Mr. Voorbecs said that, unlike the senator
from Kansas, he had not been followed tothe
senate by an investigation committee, charged
with bribery and corruption in securing his
seat, and whitewashed by a committee. The
senator from Kamas could not afford to enter
into personalities. Mr. Voorhees wanted it
to be understood that he had intended to
make no reference to the senator from
Kansas in any other capacitythan asthe
traduoer of Hancock and McClellan. It was
inresponseto hisattacks upon those heroes
that he had originally spoken.
ThematorfromK-nnsnow saidthathe
didnotrefertothemilitary recordsof these
great generals He now says that he meant
to refer only to these men as preside tinl can-
didates. With all due respect, this was a
miserable afterthought The senator's first

now toolate to change them or deny their
meaning.
The senator from Kama was an adopt in
theuseof language; he could not objectto
the most obvious rules of interpretrstion.
His language so interpreted placed Hancock
and McClellan enapar with Benedict Ar—
nold. His references to them were false
from beginning to end. To charge McClel-

equally groundless. At the time of his nom-

as when he rode into battle at Antietam

audhispeoplehad paced uponlt,und upon
all these chargu. The letter was genuine.
It was written before the war broke out. The
charges of connection with the Knights of the
Golden Circle or other disloyal organization's
w of attacks upon ldncolu, were wholly an.
a.
Mr. Ingalls said he had some of the records
at hand. lie had the testlnlony in support of
these charges It was time that it had been
pulled upon by the Democracy of Indiana.
The fact that they had often been repeated,
and that the Democracy of Indiana bad con-
doned them. was no d ,
Mr. lngalls read some of the letters and
documents in reference to the seizure of
papers in Mr. Voorheee’ odlce indicating his
disloyalty and connection with the Cow
' federal-y and with secret disloyal organisa-
lions.
llir. IugaIls said that the senator from
Indiana deserved charity more than any
other luau on the floor of the senate, and re-
ceived it more liberally. Them was no man
who could so poorly hear an examination of
his record. In April, 1861, the master from
Indianabad declared that he would never
vote a dollar or a man toward the suppres-
sion of the war, and be had kept that prom-
ise. He had never cast such a vote. lie
bad resisted the constitutional amendments,
and had voted “no" on the votetodeclal'a
their validity.
Mr. Voorhces rose and said he was not a
subject for the charity of the Kansas,sena—
tor. That senator was the object of his con-
tempt. The charges had all been brought
forward in political campaigns and in the
house of representatives, and had been fully
met and disposed of. The men who made
the charges and the senator who repeated
them told what was untnle. As to the in-
sults of the senator from Kansas, he wel-
comed them from such a source ascompll-
mentary. The soldiers of Indiana had passed
upon the charges.
Mr. lngalls asked whether the soldiers of
Indiana had threatened tolynch Mr. Voor-
bees from a railroad train.
Mr. Voorhees replied vehemently:
“The senator is a great liar."
Mr. Ingalls said that his information was
confirmed by a respectable and distinguished
citircn of Indiana. ‘
'“l'heman who whispers to you is a liar
and a scoundrell" rejoined hlr. \‘oobces. amid
a scene of general excitement.
Mr. Voorhees retired from the chamber,
and Mr. Eustis ran to do the statements
of Mr. Ingalls in referen to the Louisiana
election.
without evidence. :Their utterance was at
terly unwarranted and indefensible.
Mr. Eustis denied the charges generally,
but said that any political actum in Louisiana
would be justified. The action of Kupuhliflm
leadefs justified almost any methods in the
south and would prepare the way for a coup
d'atnt. Instead of being nbasbod by the ef-
forts of the white people of Louisiana for
free government he applaullml them. Re-
publican carpet bugger methods had justified
and caund all that followed lie Would ad—
vise a reign of terror rather than subm'ceion
to negro domination in Louisiana.
Mr. Eustis said he had heard a lady re nic-
ing that Washington pleasure seekers were to
have the circus, the races and lngulls all in
the same week. He did not think then.» could
be any disappointment at til-day's l‘lllcl’lullh
ment from such a point of view.
Mr. (libmn followed Mr. Euslis, aha re-
plying to Mr. Ingalls, and denying the charges
