the Senate Tuesday, has, as sub
ject of conversation, over Swallowed
evcrythin. else this week. On tine

OF the Capitol building was literally
packed with mass of people anx-
ious to hear what the Kansas Sena-
tor had to say in reply to the per-
sonal attact made on him last week
by Senator Voorhees,. Mr.. Ingalls,
began his remarks by alluding to
the manner in which he had been
wiiiully misrepresented by The
Democratic press in regard TO his
attacks on Hancock and Mcclellan
in his speech delivered some weeks
ago. His allusion TO them was as
politicians, not as soldiers, they
were allies, after the war, OF the
Democratic party. which he main
tanned was the Southern Confedera-
cy in continuance. He then took n
the war record of Senator Voorhees,,
and showed up the manner in which
he had endeavored TO hamper the
Government at every step; he
quoted from speech delivered by
Mr.. Voorhees,, in Indiana, August
18th. 1862, the following language:
Soldiers engaged in this war should
go to the nearest blacksmith's shop
and nave iron collars made and
placed around their necks, and |
have inscribed thereon IL large let
ters: My dog, i. Lincoln"
He quoted numerous other
speeches with d;sloyal sentiments,
of which the following made during
the memorable presidential cam
paign OF 1864 is specimen; "Gen-
tlemen, it seem TO me that | can
hear the spirits OF the hundreds
Of thousands oil lives that have been
sacrificed in this war,
against TIE reelection OF
this man (Lincoln.) 1t seems to
me the very inanimate objects, the
dumb beasts, would cry out, enough

let him go out into his
hateful obscurity, there To stand

The Senator then paid his al
tention TO the methods Of carrying
elections in the South. Nj. Voor- {
ices rose TO reply, trembling with
niger. He referred to the state
nents OF Mr.. Ingalls, as SANDER

from Voorhees,, when the
Kansas Senator said with flashing
yes: .'Ii this were a police court,

eemed to have q Quieting effect on
Ir. Voorhees,, and Mr.. Ingalls, con-

and denials. Finally,
