INGALLS, AND VOORHEES,.
The Hoosier Senator's Drubbing Well
Deserved-Hs Should Have Let Ingalls,

Deserved-He Should Have Let Ingalls,
Alone.
Senator Voorhees, should have left Sena-
tor Ingalls, alone. The florid invectIve Of
the Indianian gave the Kansan an oppor-
tunity, Of which he was prompt to avail him
self, 70 disabuse the public mind of false
impression concerning his opinion in regard
to Mcclellan and Hancock. OF the first he
said simply History has pronounced its
verdict upon his career as a soldier, AID no
eloquence from the lips of the Senator from
Indiana can make his memory like that of
Napoleon, Hannibal or Caesar" To the
superb military qualities OF Hancock he
paid q warm and honest tribute Of the
political deeds and associations of both of
them he spoke with well-tempered partisan
severity.
Having put himself on record, and on a
record which will stand scrutiny. as to the
military and political character OF the dead,
he proceeded to attack the reputation of
tho living. 1t can not be said that the at
tack was unprovoked. Mr.. Voorhees, had
introduced the personal element into the
debate; he it was VINO drew the sword, and
he it was who suffered By it. For what
ever weight may attach to Mr. Voorhees,
fierce denial of the words imputed to him;
words which if really uttered are lasting
stain upon mis- character as political
leader, it can not be denied that equal
weight attaches TO {he words of those who
affirm that he did utter them. Mr.. McCul
lagh is an accomplished stenograther, and
is reputable journalist. There are men of
spotess character yet living whose memory
OF the Grecncastle speech confirms Nj. Nc
Cullagh's report.
But whether the words charged, "Lincolu
dogs as to the soldiers, and bloody
tyr2nt," a. TO Mr.. Lincoln himself, were ut
tered in exact letter and form as ALLEGED or
not, there IS no doubt. says the Chicago

meeting which 3Ir. Voorhees, addressed at

prosecution of the war and in favor Of peace

Voorhees, was a prominent and exciting fac

hees voted in Congress against the sXpul-
sion of Alexander Long. who had declared
himself in debate as In favor of recogniz-
ing the Independence and nationality of the
so-cailed Confederacy." Clearly, Mr.. Voor-
hees was not very warmly in sympathy
with UnionisTa. He Travelled over Ohio in
1868 making speeches IN advocacy Of Val

Office. Mr.. Voorhees, has large aud liberal

OF Mrs. D. Erastus Corning, the young and
pretty wife OF a son of the wealthy shoe
manufacturer. and d. Morris Kurtz, the
Auburn correspondent OF the Syrac lse

all her belongings from her home
and shipped them to Syracuse. Her
mother.in-law. with whom she made her

all her sons jewelry and diamonds and

family. The eloping couple arrived
at Elmira from Syracuse and reg

nothing unusual was noticed until early in

The nobiest and most characteris-
tic volcanoes. whether we class them
by the energy of their explosions or
the voluma of their elections, are
found IN Iceland and in the Malayan
Archipelago. In Ice and the volcano
of Skaptar in the single eruption of
1888, poured out a tide of lava ex-
ceeding in bulk all that has flowed
from Vesuvius and Erna combined
since the eruption of Pliny. 1t has
been computed that the volume of
lava which flowed from Skaptar in
that year was greater than the mass
of Mont Blance. The gas eruption
which ATTENDED this molten tide was
prop"rtionally great; the clouds of
fine cinders hoated over Europe
and so darkened the sky as to
occasion fears of some great
calamity. Although Iceland is
thinly peopled country. this catas.
trophe was extremely destructive to
human life; nearly fifth OF the popu-
lation perlshed in the villages which
were overwhelmed by the eruption,
from the famine which came from the
loss OF Cho year 8 crops, and the
frightening of the fish f1 ON the neigh
boring sea.
The thousand. years of struggle
which the Icelanders have had with
polar cold and cent? al fire is one of
the most pathetic Incidents IN the his
tory of our race. Almost every gen.
Grafton on that island has borne a
heavy burden from earthquake shocks
or volcanic explosions. and yet this
people have managed, by labor and
thrift, to develop and maintain a
weil.ordered civilization. For CEN
tur,es the social order has been more
secure, education more general. and
the moral quality purer than in the
happier parts of the world. Every
where else save in this marvellous
island We find that man Is degraded
in spirit from a hopeless contest with
physical ills.
