A BLOOD LIFTING AFFAIR AMONGST Cox.
GREssMEN.-Since South Carolina and Arkan-
sas have been without repres entation in Con.
gress, plug muses., free fights, shoulder hit
tngs, &c, among our National Legislators
have been rare; but the boarders at the
National Hotel were yesterday evening forcibly
reminded of the stir ring times of past years by
a collision between two congressman, q Sen
ator and Representative. 1t appears that
entative voorhees,, Of Indiana, were at dinner
at the above hotel and occupied tables near
each other. Mr.. Chandler was in converse
heads and peace men, in pretty sharp terms;
and in order to show her how much he alb
horred the latter he stated something to the ef-
and hell and saw a copperhead in Heaven he
would plunge into hell. Furthermore, that
he would not help a copperhead out of He'll il
he could, for he believed they were made up of
all that was villainous and hellsh. He further
expressed the conviction that the copperheads
and peace men of the North were equally
criminal and traitorous as the Rebels with
arms in their hands, and more to be dreaded.
In the course OF his remarks, it is said, he re-
ferred incidentally to Indiana or Indianians.
MIR. voorhees, supposed that Senator Chand-
seat, approached the latter and remarked, 81
suppose you meant that conversation for me-"
Mr.. Chandler responded by asking, "Who
are you, STRIP
