Mr.. VOORHEES, on his MuscIe.

Mr.. Daniel W. Voorhees,, it appears,
having found his brains Of little service.
has gone in on his muscle, and added
the shame Of hrawler TO the infamy Of
traitor. He seems to love variety OF
disgrace, and TO possess unusual talent
for attaining IL Possibly he may have
better luck with his fist than be has had
with his tongue, aud make as lose our
desestation Of his principles ia our con.
tempt for his actions We should have
thought that be would have been con-
tent With the odium he has aready laid
mp, bat he seems 20 BE- avarieiOus Of
shame. Like Maworm,' be "loves 10
be dispised" And il Is will add auy-
thing to the satisfaction his last achiev-
meni, as 3 bully. gives him, We may add
that the public love to dispise him. The
appended full account OF his attack on
Senator Chandler, Of which the telegraph
gave e meagre and partial report, will
make an unpleasant record for him for
good many more days than be may
live. The +" Mr.. flanagan who rein
forced him in his moment Of defeat, and
whitened the scene with a shower Of
milk, is pretty well known about here,
and when We have said that we have
given him a good deal more attention
than his merits can pretend 10 claim.
We clip from the Cincinnati Gaseftss

Ar. Chandler, with Dc. CLARK, Of Det
troit, and a lady With her two children,
we're taking dinner at a side table. la
the course Of a conversation on lilieal
matters, he denounced in strong terms
Coppethsads generally, and particularly
those Of the Western States. Mr.. Yoor-
bees, Of Indiana, was sitting at another
table behind him, with Mr. Hannegan,
also Of Tndiaza Mr.. voorhees, arose from
his seat and approached Chandler in an
excited manner, demanding whether be
referred TO him, to which he replied.
Who are you. sir7 don't know you
a. the same time rising from his char.
Voorhees, replied; Il an Voorhees, Of
Indiana, aud suitiHg the action to the
word, struck Chandler on the side Of the
face. The wothen closed. and Chandler
was rapidly getting the better Of Yoor-
hees, when flanagan came to the as
sistanee of the latter with heavy milk

positive that Chandler made no mention
Of Voorhees, name, and no reference
whatever TO him personally.
SO Daniel raises a row and strikes a

aud in the midst Of children, because be
