VOORHEES, AND YEANESs.-During the discus
sion Of the Kentucky election case in the House
on Friday last. the following scene occurred be-
tween Messrs VOORHEES, and YEAMESs. the ae>
count Of which we copy from the special Wash
ington dispatches to the Cincinnati Enquirer Of
Saturday:
The contested election case from Kentucky
was before the House this afternoon, when Mr..
VOORHEES,, of Indiana, proceeded 10 argue against
the right OF Mf. feamens the sitting member, to
a seat.
Mr. VOORHEES, contended that the so called
election was a mere farce. taat il was not fair.
open and untrammeled election that the militia
~ authorities of the Federal Government took
possession Of the polls. and prevented voters from
voting for the candidate of their choice. The
argument was one of the abest OF the session,
and VOORHEES, was listened 10 with marked and
undivided attention by the members of the House
and large audience in the galleries During
some OF the more brilliant passages Of the speech
the House hushed TO an almost breathless
silence. In the course Of the debate, there oc-
cured passage of words which locke like the
fOrerunner of passage az arms. The sitting
member, Mr.. leamans. was under considerable
excitement, and in an lntimdatng manner
catched Mr. Voorhees, eve and remotely init
mated that the latter had interpolated words in a
certain document
Mr.. voorhees, walked down the aisle close up
to leamans seat and looking the latter directly
IN the face, he said: If the gentleman means to
assert that ] interpolated the words mentioned
he says that which is false and the truth is not
IN him. Here was a chance for a small bit of q
row.
Mr.. Yeamans asked to be heard, but Mr
Voorhees, declined TO Weld the floor. Mr.. Yea-
mans took his seat. saying as he sat down, yot

CURIOUS ILLUSTRATION OF RED TAPE
About fifteen years ago, it happened in a certain
country of Europe, that the Inspector General
of garrisons, while visiting provincial town,
observed sentinel stationed at little distance
outside the walls, keeping guard over some ruin
ed buildings in the suburbs The General in
quired ofthe sentinel with some curiosity why he
was posted there. The sentinel referred him to
his sergeant. The sergeant had nothing to say
but that such were the orders of his lieutenant
The lieutenant justified himself under the authori-
" of the captain commandant of the garrison.
Upon being applied TO for his reasons for the
standing order in question the commandant in
formed the inspector general, with much serious
ness that his predecessor in office had handed
down to him the custom one of the military
duties of the place. a search was Immediately
instituted in the archives of the municipality. the
result of which was to obtain satisfactory proof
that, Tor the last seventy years, sentinel had
always stood over the ruined buildings in the
same manner. With awakened interest and
curiosity, the general returned to the capital.
He there foot a elaborate investica-
ton among the State documents of the minister
Of war After long delay ii was at last discov-
cred that the ruined building of the faubourg had
been, in 1920, a stOrehouSe for mattresses belong
ing 70 the garrison and in the course of that
summer it became desirable TO rcpaint the door
WINE the paint was wet, a guard was placed
outside TO warn those who went in and out: but
before the paint was dry, it pass that the
officer on duty was dispatched on a mission of
importance, and left the town without remember
ing TO remove the sentinel. For hundred
and thirty years guard of honor has constantly
remained over the door-a sacred and inviolate
tradition, but one which representeda at bottom no
higher idea than the idea OF wet paint-Loneon

Having heard various accounts OF the difficulty
which occurred last evening at the National Ho-

Hon. d ". Voorhees,, OF Indiana We have

rious other similar expressions. His converse
uon was apparently addressed TO gentleman
sitting him. but he took the greatest pains to
show that this abuse meant for Mr.. Noor

Mr.. Chandler finally spoke of Vallandi CHA m
aud all his friends, and Mr. Voorhees, understood
him 10 use bis name in that connection Mr..
VOORHEES, the-eupon approached Mr. Chandler
saying that this conversation of course was meant
for him and asked Mr. G to leave the room.
This being refused. Mr. slapped him severely
in the face Mr.. &. struck AT Mr. Y whereupon
Mr. V. was caught by the bystanders. Mr. Han
negan thereupon interposed. saying TO Mr. Chand.
Ter that this was no time aud place 10 settle the
difficulty. Mr. Chandler Immediately struck Mr.
HAnnegan. which blow Mr.. Hannegan returned
with pitcher. which caused some injury and for

handled by Mr. Hannegan.

powerful men in the city.

The following extract forms one of the chap
tiers in recent letter from the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial:

erals to watch him-Baldy Smith, Gilmore and

doing harm, am sure | ought not to be held
accountable for what he does"
This Joke furnishes very apt illustration of
the fidelity and judgment with which Mr. Lincoln
exercises the powers of his great Office. The
setting of three of our best Generals to watch
one OF our poorest in the supreme conflict of the
war Is OF piece with yr Lincoln's general con

4 great amount of worthless trash is sent over
the telegraph wires under the name of news. but
the poorest and most disgusting of all Is the brag
and the predictions of future victories The peo-
pie have learned TO suspect that disaster is con
cealed or expected when they read such dispatch
es. Yesterday the country told by telegraph
how cheerful General Meade and General Grant
are; how almost certain il is that their present
plans will succeed and in such extravagant Ian
guage that everybody will naturally be looking
for news of a mastery retreat to day. There il
no doubt that General Grant means TO DO his
best, and hopes thus to win. and the country does
not need to be told so by telegraph every half
day. The thing is altogether overdone and "run
into the ground" Let the wires be relieved of
all such nonsense. OF the same sort, only more
so, and more provoking, are the dispatches now
given out from headquarters at Bermuda Hun
dreds that General Butler has accomplished
more than all that he intended that all his ma
nuvring and fighting has been meant merely to
give Kautz's cavalry IA chance TO cut the railroads
and also 10 detan rebel force in his front that
it might not reach Lee The public has not so
soon forgotten General Buffers assurances on
the 9Th: that General Grant will not be troubled
with any further reinforcements to Lee from
Beauregard." Beauregard very soon and easily
walked around Butler, and has now driven him
back to the shelter of his gunboats, with the loss
of Heckman's brigade of i've thousand men, and
the rebels hold the railroad between Richmond
and Petersburg. No doubt. Generals Gilmore
and Smith and their troops have done their duty.
and are not to be blamed for inevitable disaster
The point is. that it is not we'll to halloo till you
a:e out of the woods, and that little retcence
is excellent quality in soldier. We get no
exaggeration OF what is achieved and no brag
about what is to be done by General Grant. He
is man OF facts and of deeds, not words, and
that is why the army and the people trust him
The trash that is sent from his lines and tele-
graphed over the country he knows nothing about
and would stop it if he could. We say again let
the news gatherers give Us the facts aud nothing
more-not a word of prophecy or brag.

Lincoln on Negro Equality

In his speech at Ottawa. Illinois, April 81,
1858, Mr. Lincoln said
Free them (the negroes) and make them
politically and socially our equals Ny own
feelings will not admit of this, and if mine
would we all know those of the great mass of
white people will not We cannot make
them equals"
For the repetition of the very sentiments then
expressed by Mr.. Lincoln Democrats are now
STYLED traitors to their country and sympathizers
with rebels in arms to destroy the Government
No truer words were ever spoken than those ut
tered by Mr.. Lincoln in the speech from which
we make the above extract, and yet it is most
lamentably the fact that he and his party are
now attempting to do with the negroes what he
then considered revolving to his own feelings,
and of the great mass OF the white people in the
county Keokuk Constitution.
