" The expulsion of Mr.. Voorhees, has Gre
#nted considerable indignation here. 1t Is
krerarded-as it undoubtedly was-a most
#uniust and impolitic affair Forty-hNe he-
31,uhlicau members refused 10 vote on the

assert that Mr. y. was fairly elected. Inc
necessity for increasing the party vote as
SUGGESTED by Mr.. Stevens, was the only rea-

The above statement of the reasons Tor I'M
seating MIR. Voorhees, which we ma III the
New York Express, Is doubtless correct
While the Radical managers fear the pres

ready to seize ON any preteNt for putting ont
an opponent. Immensely strong, as Is their
4 party in the House, these managers sun
drudge the party opposed the slightest
show there OF course Mr.. voorhees, was
turned ont without the shadow of and excuse
besides the naked one that his removal
would make room for a partisan OF their own;
And il has now come to this: The Radical
minority are resolved that as far as pos
Sihle there shall be absolutely nobody IN
Congress to oppose their measures, no mat
ter how utterly hostile these measures
may bc TO the best interests of the country
This is why they persist in barring out the
Representatives from the Southern states
What an example Is this setting for future
maiorities. We Wonder the New York Tri
hune does not see il in this light, and eau
tIon its men from setting such an example

The childishness of the concurrent reSoiu-
ton of the two Houses of Congress as 10 the
admission of Representatives OF the states
that were involved in the rebellion, Is al
vertised by the speed with which the len

sentatives from Tennessee are to be aulhlt-

any State seeded from the Union, TenneS-
see did She had as many troops IN the
rebel army as any other State, Virginia only
excepted. Her people are now disatteeted to

everything before them, and on reaching the creek

tanks of oil were destroyed.
Some eleven or twelve boats lying in the creek

stroyed
