ton News.
WASHINGTON, June Especial. Sem
ator ingalls, is determined, apparently,
TO base his entire chance of re-
election upon the bloody shirt. He
feels that his case is desperate,
and that unless he can fire the Kansas
heart and excite or revive animosityagainst
the south by making these people believe
another war is imminent, he will BE- .igno.
miniously retired from public life. His
speech at Gettysburg may have strengthened
i him in Kansas. but it has not added his
fame here at the NatiQpai Capital how
ever, Mr.. Ingalls, seems 10 believe That he
has gone too far 10 recedc; that he g,<st
fight his senatorial canvass out on the See
tional line. lie intends 10 renew the srb-
ject Of the recent demonstration at Rich
mond on the l0or of the Senate.
AFTER POSTMASTER RUSSELL.
2 Some person informed Ingalls, that post
| master Russell closed the Richmond Office
last Thursday and paI aIticipatod TO some eX-
tent i'm the demonstration. This morning
ingalls, HE'D himself tO'the POstOfce Depart
partment and poured his tale Of woe into
the ears of the Postmaster General.
He pronounced the course Of the
Richmond postmaster an ''indecent
outrage" and said many uncom-
| nj funapfarv fniupg ultuf Un.tmae
Russell. lie expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Russell is not Republican; that he
was simply "A subscryient tool OF the rebels.
and many other declarations of the same
nature. lie demanded the immediate re-
mOyal Of Postmaster Russell, saying that
in no other way could the PostOilicc Depart
ment and the administration retain the re-
spect and confidence Of the loyal peo-
Dle Of the North. Ingalls, was
Judge advocate general Of Kansas
militia during the war. He never exposed
| his precious person 10 the danger of shot.
she II or saber, nor would he take any risk
should the United states become involved
in war with any foreign nation. He Is
| coward, who never strikes blow where II
can be- returned. Whenever he has been
personally called to account for offensive re-
marks made in the senate he has abjectly
apologizcd.
In connection with his attack upon the
postmaster Of Richmond, it is said that he
has double purpose 10 serve. 1t seems
clearly established that the information a.
to the closing Of the Richmond Office last
| Thursday was carried to ingalls, by one Of
| MahOne's most willing tools. and the sug-
gcston was made that if Russell could be
Ousted Malone might obtain the Office for
one Of his strikers.
Ingalls, was also asked to remember that
Malone had refused to be present at the un-
yelling Of the monument. At all events In
! galls served notice on the PostOllice tDc-
partment that he would bring the matter Of
MIR. Russclrs conduct TO the attention Ofthe
senate; that the day was not legal holi-
dly; on the contrary il was a day
devoted 10 "glorifying' and even
.'deifving" the chief military officer OF the |
rebellion. and the Republican postmaster
should have reiOicCd in an opportunity to |
manifest his disrespect Of the occasion by |
Keeping his Office open and in full blast.
PUBLIC BUILDING AT ROANOKE.
Representative Edmunds is dcyoting |
himself almost exclusively to the passage /
Of the bill 10 erect public building nj
Roanoke. He Of course regrets that IL |
could not be passed last Thursday, but
pes 10 get it through soon. Chairman
Wilkinson. of the Public Buildings Com |
mittee, says he has reason to believe that
another day will be allotted to public build !
ings shortly, and then the Roanoke bill will
pass. lie says that only tkirty-fye bills
could be passed last Thursday and
that nearly twice that number were ready
10 be put through; that he had to take them
i'm regular order, but he regards the Roanoke
bill az one Of the most mcritOrious Of the
whole lot, and will do all he can 10 aid in
its passage.
