MR.. <ooRHEEs' tREp1cAMENE
Mr. Voorhees, is left by the speech in pc.

crs of the war, looked into his military rec

speech Of Voorhees,, reported to have been
delivered at Greencastle, Ind. in 1864 In
that speech Abraham Lincoln was called Ly
the most infamous namea Voorhees, simply
denies that the speech is his own. 1t
happens that the speech was reported by
Joseph s. McCullocb, now editor of the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat The friends of Mr.
McCulloch state that bis accuracy and honor
being lmpeached, he will put Mr. Voorhees,
to his proofs. Mr.. Voorhees, made the mis-
take after utterng his denial of Mr.. Ingalls,

going to prove the dallying with treason

@Did not the soldiers on train in Indiana
threaten to hang you with tho
bell cord at one time?" Voorhees,
in wild rage yelled, @When the senator
from Kansas states that he is a liar: re-

galleries, but Ingalls, simply smiled con-
temptuousy and ,oorhees set down trem
bling like leaf. During the cross fire Of
words Voorhees, called ingalls, "a
great liar and dirty dog"
and compared him to peacock on
4 barnyard fence Voorhees, insisted that he
had always been the true friend of the Union
soldier. Eustis of Lo uisiana Indignantly re-
PEELED some of Mr. Ingalls, offensive illusions
to the people of that state. and Gibson &C.
