INGALLS, AND VOORHEES,.

With ell our boasted civilization
there are yet many things to re-
mind us how slight is the distance
between Us and the bull fights OF
Spain and Mexico and how closely
akin we are to that spirit, which
leads fair ladies and noble men of
those countries to shout them
selves hoarse in applauding acts
the most cruel and atrocious.
The latest reminder that this bar
barous element of our natures still
fingers with us, is the vast throng
that went to the Capitol Tuesday
to witness the "skinning" of Voor-
hees of Indiana, by ingalls, of
Kansas, and which had been ad- |
vertised by the press of the country |
several days previous. These men
are almost evenly matched in abil-
lty to say mean things of each
other and the scathing accusations
of the oae were met by almost
frenzied retorts of the other. But
in all the long wrangle there was
not one sentence uttered by either
party that exhibited the slightest
intimation of craftsmanship.
As the interests of the whole
people stand between the jealous ,
es and bitter hatred of such lead {
