famous that the black walls Of perditior
could not reduplicate.
Mr.. Voorhees, alluded in a sacasti'
and amusing manner to Mr.. ingalls, wal
record, and said he would stand witt
the Senator before the soldiers OF In
diana or Kansas and quit the Senate il
he was not approved by them over MIR
Ingals.
ANGRY SCENE.
Mr.. ingalls, replied that rs the Senator
from Indiana had seen fit to invite com
parison between their records and theil
relations to the great questions of the
past twenty-five years, he felt it his duty
to put on record from information in his
possession what the Senator's record
and history was. He should refer only
to public matters, public records, and
should venture the affirmation that
whatever might have been his own In
gall's) relations to the great struggle be-
tween the North and South, the Senator
from Indiana had been from the outset
the determined, outspOken, positive,
aggressive and malignant enemy Of the
Union cause.
Tpronounce that" said Mr.. Voor-
hecs, rising with anger in his eyes, to be
a deliberately false accusation. l voted
for every dollar that paid the soldier,
for every stitch Of clothes he wore and
for every pension bill that rewarded his
services.
Mr. ingalls, said: The Senator came in
heretO-day and thanked God that he had
never been folio Sed here by commit.
tee to question his right to his seat; and
with much difTuseness Of illustration
had endeavored to cast aspersiOns upon
him Qngalls) and belittle and humilate
him in the eyes Of the American people,
when he Ingalls, had only referred to
the Senator's public utterances-his
speeches which he had never denied.
Mr.. Voorhees, declared that he did
deny it.
HOT SHOT.
Mr.. Ingalls, replied that the Senator
could not deny the publication. 1t was
n verbatim report and so certified to.
Mr.. Voorhees, asserted that not one
word or syllable read by the Senator
was true or believed to be true in In
diana. The accusation had been tramp
led under foot. The Senator's insinua-
tions that he (Voorhees) had ever been
a member OF political secret society,
the Knights OF the Golden Circle, was
so base and UNANIMOUSLY false that he did
not know how to choose language to
denounce it as such.
Mr.. ingalls,, continuing, said the SEN
ator from Indiana had written n letter
for Mr.. f. A. Shute, which that gentle
man took South with him and filed in
the Confederate War Department in
support OF his application for appoint
ment rs Brigadier General in the Con.
federate army. The letter was dated
December 10, 1860, and said:
AN UGLY RECORD.
"on the disturbing question Of the
day his (shute's) sentiments are entirely
with the South, and one of his objects
is probable home in that section, l
take this occasion to say that his senti-
ments and mine are in close harmony.
(Signed) DANIEL W. Voo1HEss."
The Senator said that the charge that
he had called Union soldiers "hirelings
and Lincoln dogs" and said that they
ought to go to blacksmith shop
and have an iron collar around
their neCks, with the inscrip-
ton "My Dog-Abraham Lincoln" "
was campaign Of scandal, that had
been spit upon. That averment could
be substantiated by as creditable wit
ness us there was in the city.
Mr.. VoOrhees-And even il the Senator
said it, it would be absolutely false and
palpable lie.
Mr. IngaIls-The Senator is disorderly.
Continuing, Mr.. ingalls, read from u
paper signed by citizens of Sullivan
county, who stated that they were
present at meeting on April @, 1862,
when Mr.. Voorhees, said that Union
soldiers should 60 to the nearest black
smith shop and have an iron collar
around their necks with the inscription,
"My Dog-Abraham Lincoln" This
paper was signed by byrespcctableC CitiZensoi
Indiana, who were not ashamed OF their
names and residences, which were at
tached. Everybody knew what bust.
ness the Democratic party OF Indi.
ana had been engaged in during the
war. Seventy thousand Of them had been
members OF the Knights OF the Golden
circles, and had been conspiring against
the Union. They had entered into
combination according to General
Holt for the purpose of aiding soldiers
to desert, discouraging onlistments, cir
culating reasonable publications, giving
intelligence to the enemy and assassin
ating and numbering,
Mr.. Voorhees, said that II the gentle
man from Kansas would find one single
vote that he had cast against the pay
ments OF soldiers for their supplies, fol
their bounties, against the apprOpria'
tions for their pensions, he would resign
his seat in the Senate. Every
word the Senator had stated in
the subject was false by the
record, absolutely false. He measured
his words. He (VoOrhees) had fought
for free speech and free press, but the

voted foreverto feed them or Clothe them
and the man who said otherwise was 9
ialsifer and n slanderer, and he branded
him us such.
THE LIE PASSED.
Mr.. Ingalls, - Did not the people
threaten to hang the Senator with {
bell rope after the "Lincoln dogs
speech2
Mr.. Voorhees-The Senator is a great
liar when heintimates such thing, and
dirty dog-and ! return it to the
scoundrel behind the Senator, who il
instigating the ISLANDERS. This remark
was in reference to Representative
Johnston, Of Indiana, who sat at desk
Immediately behind Senator Ingalls.)
Senator Eustis here objected to the
discussion being carried on in such q
manner,
Senator Eustis then continued in Q
somewhat lengthy speech to arraign the
Kansas Senator for abusing the Demo
crats OF Louisiana. Instead Of beinl
abashed by the charges he threw
