Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The passage st
arms between VOORHEES, and Ingalls,
yesterday is still the talk OF the town.
Both gentlemen have cooled off some
Whist, although the rancor Of each is still
visible. Mr.. VOORHEES, WAS asked to-day IL
he would withdraw that portion Of mis- re-
mark which fatty branded Ingslls as q
liar. Mr.. voorhees, REPLIED: mo, sir.
What have said is true, and / do not
intend to take b.ck anything. The
remarks Of ingalls, show his nature. He
is well known as ungensrous and deceiv-
ing. shall not retracs anything nor alter
the record in any way. Let thas stand.
am not ashamed Of 1t nor afraid of the
consequence, II any should follow"
voorhees, Is plain spoken man, but
when reused especially upon such provo
cation IS yesterday he can thrash larger
men with bitter sarcasm than Johnny In
gals OF Kansas, the traducer of Hancock,
Mcclellan and other soldiers, both living
and dead. He knows not the meaning Of
shame, and is cordially disliked even In
his own party. -
FULLER WELL SPOKEN OF.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May "A prominent
member OF the bar Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States said to-day that he
had professional acquaintance with the
nominee for the Chief Jus,iceship and
though he regarded him as
man without the distinguished
characteristics of some others
named for the place, and as having neither
Judicial experience nor national repute-
ton, yet his standing as 3 lawyer was
good, and that Judicial capacity and pos
sibility We're often discovered by the test
OF the trial alone; that he presumed Mr..
Fuller would dissppoint his critics Just
as did Chief Justice Waite, q lawyer who
also had never been on the bench or en-
joyed national reputation.
HOwDY. MARTINS REFORM MEASURE.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Msjor Bill Mar
tin hiss come to the front again. This
time he appears in the capacity Of 9
wOuld-be law maker. Msjor Martin Is
very much opposed to bribery at elections
and he has been sitting up late ct night
recently framing law which would OBJ
literate that crime. He had no help from
outside in the matter Of composition or
style and the blu is consequently far from
being model of either. The queer thing
about the law is the way Howdy frames
its penalties. He goes to the very heztS.,
Of things at once. No halfway measures
for the statesman from Henderson
county. He provides that anyone con-
victed OF the offence of bribing. or At
tempting to bride any United States
Judge, member Of Congress, or govern
ment officer to render decision or judg-
ment, or vote upon any pen0ing PROPOSE
tiop,. or do any official act, shall be
punished By death. That is all Major
Martin says sDd every one will scknowl-
edge that 1t Is quite enough. But little
has been heard of Martin the past few
weeks, but the presentation OF this law
has brought him sgsin into public no.
toriety, and 1t must be acknowledged
that the Msjor seems to enjoy it.

WASHINGTON, Mky 2.-An effort is
being made which promises sui cess to

sentatives next Wednesday or Thursday
