usual temper.
VOORHEES, then took the iocr, and sent
to the Clerks desk and had read an extract
from the Evening Telegraph, a Philsdel-
phia Republican paper, which alluded to
Malone as a renegade Democrat, and
charged that bis acting with the ~1lepubli-
cans was in consequence of a disgraceful
bargain. Hoar objected to its being read,
and VOORHEES, stated that he would endorse
it and make it his speech. Hoar then
raised q point of order against the reading
of the article, which was oyerruled by the
President pro TEN. (Ingalls.) Subsequent
ly VOORHEES,, at Hoar's private suggestion,
disclaimed any Endorsement of the express
sions in the article which might be mis-
construed in the way Of making a personal
quarrel with either of the gentlemen al
luded to, Malone and Vice President Ar
thur. At this point of the proceedings
when the discussion had lost all its life and
fire, m when the audience in the galleries
had become less numerous, and when all
were looking forward to an immediate ad-
journment, the most exciting scene Of the
day took place.
Malone, rising Unexpectedly, said 81
rise to ascertain whether l correctly under
stood the Senator from Indiana (Voorhees)

from a Philadelphia paper was his speech,
which | am referred to as a renegade Dem
ocrat further on as q repudiationist, and
further on az having entered into a bargain
with the Republican Senators in regard to
the organization OF the Senate. II / nave
recited correctly what is stated in that
article, / ask the Senator whether that is
his speech" lApplause.1 81 pause for a
reply"
Voorhees,, who had in the meantime
moved to the Republican side of the cham
Der, and taken a chair at a short distance
from Malone, replied in a cautious but
resolute tone: 81 sent to the Clerks desk
an article from a leading Republican news
paper, edited by the allies of the Senator
from Virginia. Soon afterward the SEN
ator from Massachusetts, (Hoar) came to
me in those kindly relations which we have
ever borne to each other, and asked me to
soften that article by disciaiming it as my
speech. / did so in response to that sug-
gestion. II the Senator from Virginia
expects anything further than that from
me he is mistaken; he is entirely mis-
taken. He will have to deal with the Re-
publican editor Of that paper, and when
he settles with him, if he has anything
further to settle with me, he will find me
here, and will not only find me here, but
will find me willing to respond. I do not
mean that in any off nsive manner, but
in the sense Of absolute justice" He in
timated that Malone, in his new alliance.
would have a more difficult road to travel
than he had conceived. He need not
think for moment" continued Voorhees,,
" that he can coerce or dictate the course
OF debate on this floor. / made a large
concession. l did it from my heart, and
with no possible disrespect to the Senator
from Virginia; not the slightest thought
it right, when the distinguished and cul-
tured Senate from Massachusetts, called
my attention to it, but il the 8 nator from
Virginia thinks he can stretch by one
hairs breadth something solely between the
gentleman from Massachusetts, and my
self. and coerce me into a single conces-
sion beyond that. he is entirely mistaken.

first, but when / send to the desk to have
read an editorial from one of the leading
Republican newspapers OF the United
States, Am l to he called in question on
this side Of the Chamber ?"
Mitchell Of Pennsylvania said the paper
in question, if it was a Republican paper,
was a Republican paper with Demo-
cratic tendencies, INT its tendencies were
more frequently with the Democrats thar
the Republicans.
Hoar tried to restore harmony by an ex-
PLANTATION, but Malone refused to accept it
and said He wanted speaking mys-
%teriously) to know whether these personal
references to himself were of Voorhees,
accord. II Voorhees, took the liberty of
referring him to the newspaper man for
settlement, he should select his own
course"
voorhees, responded in a careless, but
defiant sort of o way.
Malone persisting 81 never called upon
you in this House to say whether or not -
Before he had time to finish the sentence
Voorhees, anticipated it, and throwing off
the self-restraint which he had observed up
to this point, said passionately Then /
endorse every single word which was said
in that article"
Malone breaking in Then I say the
references which you make to me are such
as no honorable or brave man would make,
and l denounce you as such here"
Voorhees, That is a mere question Of
here and hereafter"
Malone 1.-THE hereafter will come as
soon a. you want it to-"
voorhees-"I will know exactly how to
meet 1t. l endorse every word said in that
article. / endorse the term renegade
Democrat l endorse everything in it that
may be construed to reflect On the course
of the Senator from Virginia, and without
his taking the time to get words upon me,
he can seek his redress. There is no use
in making any mistake about this matter
at all. / heard the Senator from Virginia
stand and shout out That the thing had
to STOP Suppose it does not I; suppose it
does not? know it Won't with me by
your dictation. This is cheap, very cheap"
abiding to Mahone's expression.
Mahone-'It Is very cheap, Mr.. Presi-
dent, to deal in such bravado as the gen.
tleman from Illinois tmeaning Indiana)
does."
Voorhees,. who was walking over to his
own chair when Mahone's last remark was
made. turned and said: 1.-THE gentleman
alludes to me as the Senator from Illinois.
! suppose he will take no exception, there.
fore. il I allude to him As the Senator
from Vermont"
Malone continuing and completing his
.seDtence--''B But when the gentleman says
he indorses the sentiments OF that news
paper article, l undertake to characterize
them here as such that no brave or honor |
able man would make in this Chamber.
Now let him take that with him and
wear it,"
