Why the Charges Hurt.

Mr.. Ingalls, chose to trap the emotional Indi-
aniau. If Mr.. Voorhees, had not risen to retort
confsssedly he would have had the best of it,
because the Ingalls, reply up to that point had
been disappointing to his own friends. But the
Kansas Senator knew his man" and counted
on the latters retort made in . spirit of happy
relief that his ''war record" was not more dis
tinctly brought forth. In the excess OF his Joy
he fell deeper and deeper into the trap set for
him. in the exhilaration Of the moment showing
the hardihood to make Q violent personal attack
on Ingalls,. sitting there cool and collected in
the possession OF the knowledge that his trap
had been sprung. Then came the avalanche IL
was overwhelming. and the Tall Sycamore went
down in splinters. The charges brought for
ward by tho knife-like Kansan are wsll-known
to all people hereabouts. Mr.. Voorhees, has de-
MED part Of them, and admits part but waiv.
ing the truth of any or all of them, why il 1t
that they are generally believed and cling to
hint Simply because be Was not an active sym
pathizer with the Union cause. Had he been

was in this city at q late hour last night. He
left at A. NJ. to-day, saying he WAS going to
Olney. ILL.,. where his wife is visiting. All his
business has been transacted through an Olney
bank, and bills OF lading having been forward
ed to cousignees through this bank. Montgom-
cry related most plausible story. He said that
hs was doing large business in lumber, when
the strike on the c., B. q @. caused delay that
now $50 carloads of his lumber are still
undelivered, and that as his paper was
rapidly maturing be came North to see what
co aid be done. He wined and dined Burlington
officials, aud succeeded in having about one hun
dred carloads delivered, but could not count on
returns before May Is; he had met several
OF his creditors at Terre Haute, and they went
together TO Chicago. and were convinced that
his statements were true. He said he was going
to Olnev to meet them on Friday, and will make
q satisfactory proposition.
X. j. Darnall. of Darusll & Co., of Memphis,
was here today. He says his claim against
MONTGOMERY is for about 5000 be was one of the
creditors who met MONTGOMERY at Terre Haute.
He says that others, who accompanied Mont
Romery to Chicago, report that he left them sud
denly stating he WAS going to Columbus. o.
Darnall was greatly surprised to learn that
Montgomery was here. He charges that Mont
gomery has sold lumber about So lower per
thousand than he agreed to pay for it. He said
the general opinion was that Montgomerys
shortage in the South would reach $225, 900.
