Mr.. Voorhees, Makes an Explana-
ton of His Political Position.
A General Stirring up Of the Long
Reticent Democratic Congressman.


Correspondence of the Courier-Jonrnal.1
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE pO-
iitical sensation of the day has been
the demonstration made in the
House of Representatives this after
noon Ivy Mr.. Voorhees,, of Ind, against
the Endorsement of the Cincinnati
nominations by the Baltimore Con
vention. While Mr.. Voorhees, ex
pressly di>claimed speaking for any
one but himself, he, nevertheless,
made, under cover OF a personal ex-
planatinn, severe arraignment OF
Mr.. Greeley's political record, es-
pecially that of the last ten years,
to show that there was not one sin
gle feature, save that favoring am
nesty, which was i'm cOnsOnance witt
the policy maintained by the Dem
Ocratic party. He alluded to his
protective tariff views, to Mr.. Gree
ley's record on the confiscat,On acts,
the Federal election laws, the re-
construction acts. the Ku klux laws,
and to the complete endorsement
which the Cincinnati candidate had
made of every aspect of the policy
which the Radical party had en-
forced towards the South. While.
Grant had executed a bad law in
ob,.dience to his oath. Greeley had
first proposed and urp-u its pass.
AGE He CHARGED him with being
resnonsib,e for secession by advis-
ing the South in 60 to depart in
peace. and then turning round in
'6l and demanding a vigorous pros
zen finn of the war His single act
in haijiuo left. Davis was too mar
row a nlank for a marty to stand on.
Proceeding in This STRAIN, ur. Vor
hees said there was something high
or than succass in a marty ami he
nrotested AGAINST the transfer of
three million of Democratic votes
TO camp where there was nothing
ri. at belonged to it. He alluded to
Grants refusal TO arrest Lee and
Johnston and others. Iecause they
were paroled Confederate soldiers {;
and brought down the Republican
side In a reund f applause over the
sentiment that Grant haC been more
liberal to the South than Greeley.

A Champion Walker in North Mis-
sissippi.

MI. J. J. McCleIland, walked from
this city to Coff.eville, a distance of
thirteen miles, in two hours and
thirty eight minutes, last Tuesday,
for a wages of fifty dollars The
agreement was that he should start
from the Collins house, 60 to the
railroad track, and keep in the cen
ter of the road bed, stopping at the
corporate limits of Cof1eeville-time
two hours and forty minutes. He
left here at O'Clock Am, and made
irving in COffteville at 9:3S win.
ming the wager by two minutes.
Considering that Mr.. McClelland
had no training, and the railroad
track being bad walking ground,
this is remarkable feat, and the
champion walker Weston will have
TO watch or he will be diStanced.
At Coffeeville a large crowd OF la
dies and gentlemen were assembled
to witnes his arrival, and treated
him with marked courtesy. Besides
the wager a number of side bets
were won and lost, being msstly fine
hats, Sc.
We understand that Coffeeville
is willing to wager five hundred dot
lars that o. s. CIutchfield can walk
from Cotfeeville to Water Valley
inside of two hours end forty min-
utes. 1t is reported that Cru;ch-
field walked from Coffceville tbir
teen miles iuto Calhoun, in AN hour
and a quarter, and then shelled two
bushels of corn and carried it on
his shoulder four miles. and was
back home for breakfast, and it was
not a good day for walking either.
