The Senate galleries presented an unusu ally animated appearance at the open ing of today's session, being crowded with spectators, principally ladies, drawn by the announcement of a ipfefch at 2 p. m- by Mr. Ingalls in response to Mr. Voorhees1 inrectire of last Wednesday and by the proa- Sect of a bitter and excited political iacussion. During the readintr oi yesterday' journal a hum of conver sation pervaded the chamber. Mr. Call introduced a bill appro priating $100,000 for the prevention and extirpation of yellow fever in the United States. Referred to the com mittee on epidemic diseases. 3 Mr. Harris, in oonneotion with that subject, said that a bill looking to (he establishment of quarantine itations pn the ccast had been re ported from that committee a month ago and be would, next Friday, ask the Senate to consider it. i Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, spoke at tome length upon the resolution of inquiry concerning the amount of Silver bullion offered the- government since 1878. At various times during Mr. Stewart's speech the i. residing Officer was compelled to lecture the Spectators in the gallery for the noisy hum of conversation coming from them and which occasionally rendered the words of the speaker inaudible to the official reportors. Ab the hour of 2 o'clock approached the buzz in the chamber and galleries became till more marked. Mr. Ingalls took his seat where his desk was decorated with flowers. By this time a large number of specta tors had been admitted to the floor of the Senate, At 2 o'clock the regular order was laid before the Senate, being the animal industry bill, but was im mediately laid aside temporarily, and the resolution to refer the President's message to the , finance committee Iras taken up. Mr. Ingalls was then recognized by the chair. He said: Ma. JrKESiDEirr cjn the 11th day Of January, 1888, a little less than four months ago, Major-General Fit John Porter, now on the retired list, wrote a letter, from which I read the following extract: ?And now, to yon, one; of the thousands of kind, generous friends, whose hearts I have felt, and whose forms I have hever seen nor warm hands touched, I beg to express my hear tfelt appreciation of your kind act in my behalf and to assure you, all of yon north and south, that Gay heart la and always haa rman with you, though at one tune my hand and my head; workea oesc tney Knew against you and your cause believing a I do it was for the best. Mr. President, the Senator from Indi ana, in the course of his observations last Wednesday complained with some bitterness that a determined at tempt was made during the war of the rebellion and he addea that it nas been continued since Ito blacken the names of the greatcivil as well as mil itary leaders who remained true to the Democratic party as at enmity witn the cause oi the union ana in alli ance of . sentiment at least with the Confederacy. He also added, Mr. President, what never has been conceded hitherto, so .far as I am advised by any Democratic orator, that there is such a thing as treason against this government, and that to be an ally oi the uonieaeracy was to be a traitor. In his complaint at the accusations that hare been made, ir resistibly .the inference was first that these accusations against the civil ana military leaders of the Democratic party were not true, and next that if they were true they were discredit able and dishonable. Fitz John Por ter, Mr. President, was a leader in the war for the Union who maintained his allegiance to the Democratic party and yet within the past four months, although he had been dishonorably dismissed and had been restored by the action of the Democratic party and its members who had been mem bers of the Confederacy, he writes that his heart Was always with them although at one time his head and his hand were against them; that even at the time when his head and his hand were lending their succor to that commander whom the Senator from Indiana characterized with a somewhat redundant and elaborate affluence of diction as a vain, preten tious, specious, boasting and vain glorious pretender; that even then, when his head and his hand were en gaged in that task,his heart was, as it had always been and has ever since betn, with them. Mr. President, Major General George B. McClellan was born in Pennsylvania, educated at West Point and went immediately to New Orleans, where he became an intimate business and political friend of Gen. Beauregard, and allied himself actively with schemes for the extension and perpetuation of human slavery by the acquisition of Cuba, and his associates in that enterprise were Albert Sydney Johnston, Gusta- ous W. Smith, Mansfield Sewell and J. K. Duncan. He began his military career by disobeying the orders of Gen. Scott. He abandoned Gen Pope to the mercies of his foes at Centreville, he failed to put the rebels to the sword at Antietam, he refused to obey the orders of the President of the United States to follow them to Winchester. He fatally controlled the destiny of the army of the United States at the bat tle of Fiedericksburg, and be wao an intimate friend, associate and com panion of Major General Fitz John Porter. History ha pronounced its verdict upon him as a soldier. I deal with him as a politician. I say that no man can read the letter that he wrote to President Lincoln after the disastrous seven days fight upon the peninsula and before Richmond, without coming to the conclusion that he was not fully and actively in sympathy with the forces and ideas and sentiments that were then control ling the American people. I will quote a: few lines from that letter. July 7, 1862, (writteu after 70,000 men of the most thoroughly equipped and incomparable army that ever left any capital had been left in the swamps of Chickahominy.) He site himself down and addresses a let ter to. the President of the United States from which I quote: "The war should be conducted od the highest princ plea known to Christian civilization. It should not be a war looking to the subjugation of the peop'e of any Sfcate. Ia anj event neither confiscation of proper ty, political execution of persons or territorial organization oLthe States, norr forcible abolition of slavery should be contemplated for a moment. Unless the principles governing the future conduct of our struggle shall be 'made known an' approved ef fort to obtain requisite forces will be almost hopeless. A. declaration of rad ical views especially upon slavery will rapidly disintegrate our present armies.'' Mr. President, I am now dealing with McClellan as a Democratic poli tician and as a candidate for the Presidency. In 1864 he accepted the presidential nomination from that party upon a platform that expressly declared that the war was a failure. It is ancient history. Mr. Ingalls here read from the Chicago platform of 1864 declaring the war a failure and demanding, that immediate efforts be made for the cessation of hostili ties and then proceeded: The nomi nation of Geo. B. McCle.'lau as a can didate for President was received by the ; newspapers of the Confederacy with enthusiasm. The Richmond Enquirer of Sept. 8th, says: "Every defeat of Lincon'a forces goes to the benefit of McClellan. The influence of the ; South, more powerful in the shock of battle than whn throwing 1 her minority vote in the electoral col lege, will be cast irf favor of McClel lan by this untried, yet efficacious means." ; And upon the following day, in the Confederate Congress, Mr. Foote, of Tennessee, declared: "I Bay that we have friends, good, true and valiant friends, at the North. given for Jicuieiian was lor peace Every vote given for McClellan was a vote against Lancoln s African policy. Every vote given for McClellan was a vote given for an armistice." . If McClellan . had been elected he (the speaker) was prepared to make from his Mat a proposition for a conven tion of sovereign States North and South, and he believed the South would have secured freedom, peace and independence. Mr. President, the election occurred in November of that year and the people of the United States passed upon the pretentions of Major General Geo. B. McClellan. He received 3 votes from the State of Delaware, 11 votes from Kentucky and 1 votes from Hew jureey, ana wneu unicorn was! elected he resigned his commis sion and passed into history. Major-General Winfield Scott Han cock was born in Pennsylvania and educated at West Point. He also was one of the military leaders that was true to the Democracy and his martial career is an imperishable heritage of American glory. He marched and he triumphed. He filled the abyss of fame with names that will be 1 eternal the Peninsula, Gettys burg, Chancellorsviile, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. Had he been a sol dier under. Napoleon he would have been a prince' and a marshal under the! Empire. Undaunted in battle, resolute and with an indomitable pas sion for glory, he was the ideal corps commander, and was well named Hancock the superb. When the war closed he enjoyed to a degree almost unknown to our history the anection ate admiration of the American peo ple. . But be too became tainted with the fatal ambition lor nomination to the presidency by the Democratic party. : They fixed it for him in 1880, not as the man who defeated and Overwhelmed and destroyed them at Chancellorsviile and Gettys burg ; and other great en gagements in which he participated, but as the author of Order 5o. 40 and the determined enemy of the re construction policy of Congress, and of the efforts that were being made to enforce justice, liberty and, order in Louisiana and Texas. Mr. Ingalls here sketched from his point of view the events which led to "Order No. 40 and announced his intention to publish as part of his speech the correspondence between Hancock and Gov. Pease, of Texas, in I860, of which that order was part, and proceeded : Mr. President, the people of the United States also passed upon the political affections of Gen. Hancock and, notwithstanding his magnificent and unapproachable military sa reer, -recognizing him as they did - in his relation to the reconstruction policy of Congress and the acts and statutes made there under: in 1880, he carried, of the Northern StateB, California with 5 votes, Nevada with 3 votes, New Jer sey with 9 votes, and the 138 votes of the solid South, which had been promised him in his speech at Cin cinnati by a Senator from South Car olina, and of the votes of Northern States that he received, those of Cali fornia and Nevada were stolen by the forgery and fraud of the Morey let ter issued by Democratic politicians on the very eve of the election when it was impossible that a denial should follow before the votes were cast. Mr; President, the affected indig nation of Jhe Senators from Indiana and Kentucky at my alleged assault on these Union generals is discredita ble either to their intelligence or their candor. If they did not know that in speaking of them in that debate in which I was not an intruder I was peaking of them not as soldiers but as politicians and as Democratic candidates for the Presidency, they are dull, stupid and ignorant indeed. If they did not know it and persist in their assertions they are disin genuous, and I believe, Mr. PreBi qent, if such a thing were possible, that they are both. (Laughter). Mr Ingalls then turned his atten tion to Mr. Voorhees and quoted soma of his speeches during the war and some of the utter ances attributed to , Mr. Voorhees in reference to Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Voorhees, speaking at Sullivan, in Ind ana, on the 5th of August, 1862, paid in reference to the Union soldiers that they should go to the nea est blacksmith shop and have iron ooli-.rs rua le and placed around their nockn aud have inscribed thereon in large fetters "My Dog. A. Lincoln." An 1 ati be snme time he referred to the Dnu-u soldiers as hirelings, without exct-p iRg MeUleUan or Hancock. (Laughter and applause). Also, from Mr. V? jorhees' tspeecn at Greencastle, Ind , whicti v-n reported; in the Cin cintati Commercial, August 8, 1864, by Mr.-Joseph B. McCullogh, now editor of the Globe- Democrat, in St. Louis: "Why", he said, "this campaign of Grant upon the Rapidan and at Petersburg" (and Hancock was there), "was of such a nature that you almost heard the bones of your brave sons and brothers crush like eggs clear to Washington City. The sickening details of . the slaeghler came up with the fumes of blood on our very breakfast table at Washington that morning. Yet Lin coln says : 'I will peg away for four years more.' In God's name have you not had enough of itt Let us try some other plan. This one ha signally failed. Five hundred thou sand more men and that is all." Mr. Ingalls referred to the speech made in the House of Representatives in 1879 by Mr. Blackburn, declaring it to be the purpose and intention of the Democratic party to keep on until they wiped out from the statute book the last vestige of war legislation. He . said that within the next few years the Supreme Court would be entirely reconstructed. Two of the Associate Justices were already past retiring age, and if that tribu nal waa to pass hereafter on war leg islation . all knew what the result woud be. There could be no ques tion about it. Mr. Ingalla devoted considerable space to the discussion of the elec toral commission, of the Louisiana elections of 1876 and 1878. Said the p.nnntrv wftq now on t.h vnrv tamta Every voteJofbe mogt important contest of this for " neaf.fl. TJiii. ii. ii century a contest wnose result wouia determine the destiny of the country for the next 25 years, and touched Upon the appointment of Mr. Lamar fco the Supreme Bench, who he said hajl been forced upon the Presi dent becauso he was the near est and dearest friend of Jef ferson Davis; said the country still had against it the Southern Confed eracy speech of Henry RT Jackson at Macon, and closed with a perora tion picturing what would have been the miserable fate of the country if the rebellion bad prevailed, and con trasting that picture with the present and future prosperity of the United States in the centuries to come. He, saw a viflion of nnilwv';'t'ow and happy America, a vast homoge neous domain of free men, rulers of the continent from the polar zone to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pa cific enioyincr the franchises of lib erty and the perpetuating arts of peace. The people should remem ber, he said, on each recurring day when they celebrated those who had died, that this country held in its fruitful and tender breast no more priceless a tieasure than the consecrated dust of those who had died in order that this should be a government of laws and hot of men, and that liberty and con stitutional government might not perish forever from the face of the earth. Mr. Ingalls closed his speech at 4 o'clock, having spoken two hours. M Voorhees arose, and in slow, measured, resonant tones, remarked that the speech which the Senate had just listened to recalled to his mind the fable of the mountain in labor. Two hours had passed away, after the blare of trumpets had brought a large audience to the Senate, and what had they heard and what had they seen l A poor small mouse creeping off. His allusion last Wednesday to the Senator from Kansas had been merely inciden tal. Why should he assail that Senator? Men mistook themselves, and the Senator irom Kansas did so more than any he knew. That Senator had not been alive politically since the sixth of March last, when the Senator from Kentucky (Blackburn) disposed of him. (Laughter and a call of ap proval from one of the galleries.) He had been walking the streets and posing before the world like an old friend of his in Indianapolis in bad health, who had said to him that he had been dead for a year and was only walking to save funeral ex penges. The only criticism of his (Voorhees') speech which he had seen in tbe press was that he had galvan ized a corpse, lie disclaimed anyd purpose of that kind. He bad made no attack npon him but upon the Republican party He regarded'the Senator from Kansas as the most brilliant and capable men on his side of the chamber and as elevated to its highest position. Con sequently when he listened to his as tonishing, amazing and extraordinary speech of the sixth of March, he had passed him by, but he had arraigned tbe party of which he had been made the leader because no member of it in . '11. it F eitner nouse naa disclaimed nis ter rible assaults on the most brilliant names in American history. He pro ceeded to compare Ingalls to a pea cock on the barn-vard fence posing of a summer morning looking at his own feathers as they glanced in the sun and vocalizing the whole neighborhood with hiB harsh unmusical cry, unmindful of the fact that there were more useful fowls in the barnyard. He (Ingalls) had read .to the senate the old, stale, putrid rotten slanders of years gone by on which he had trampled in forty politi oal campaigns. It had seemed to him like the voices of spavined, broken-winded, hackneyed political campaign liars of the last twenty-five years. That he ever uttered one word against Union soldiers or talked of their having collars around their necks was so base a falsehood, so in famous, that the black walls of perdi tion could not repudiate it. too late for the Senator! to plead that he had only spoken; of McClellan and Hancock as allies of the.Confederaoy in their civil capacity. He had charged McClellan with en deavoring to make the war a failure. Referring to attacks upon the people of tbe South, he said that the Senator from Kansas might war oh such peo ple, but the end would, be their tri umph and his defeat. (Applause.) Mr. Ingalls responded to the speech of Mr. Voorhees and said that no one was more conscious than he of the duty which he owed to his country and of his unpaid obligations of gratitude to those who had done what he under other circumstances might have done. As the Senator from Indiana had teen fit to invite comparison between their records and their 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 his tory f was. He should refer only to public matters in the public records and should venture the affirmation that whatever might hive beta his own (Ingalls') re'ations to the great struggle between the North and the South the Senator from In diana had been from the outset the determined,, outspoken, positive, ag gressive aad malignant enemy of the Union cause. "I pronounce that," said Mr. Voor hees, rising, with anger in. his eyes, "to be a deliberately false accusation. I 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 referred agiin to the quotations he had made from Mr. Voorhees' speeches. Mr.: Voorhees asserted that not one word or syllable read by the Senator was true or believed to be true in Indiana. The accusation had been trampled un der foot. The Senator's insinuation that he (Voorhees) had ever been a member of apolitical secret society K. of Golden Circle was so base and infamously false that he did not know how to choose language to de nounce it as such. This caused a sensation in the gal leries,' and manifestations of approba tion and approval, and the sergeant-at-arms was directed to place under arrest any person thereafter violating the rules of the Senate. After some further remarks by In galls, Mr. Voorhees said : The Sena tor is a great liar; a great liar and a dirty dog. That is all the answer I have to make, and I pass it back to the scoundrel behind the Senator who is instigating these lies. (This remark was made in reference to Represen tative Johnston, of Indiana, who was seated at a desk directly in rear of IsgallB.) ' Ingalls referred to a certificate he bad read signed by citizens of Sulli van county, Indiana, asserting that 'V-'uTt n "eech from j which he (Ingalls) had ii , , 1 said there was a very reputable gen tleman in the chamber, a citizen of In diana, "who informs me that the sign ers of that certificate are entirely re putable inhabitants of Indiana, and that be knows fifty people who heard the Senator." Voorhees Tell him I say he is an infamous scoundrel and a liar. Tell him I say bo. Mr. Eustis, of La , said he simply rose to protest against the great free dom and license with which the Sen ator from Kansas had seen fit to dis cuss the election which had lately ta ken place in Louisiana. He was aware that great allowance must be made: for that Senator. The Sena tor's speech reminded him of a con versation be had over-heard yesterday between two ladies. One of them had said seriouslylto the other: "What great place Washington is for amusements! Just think of it. We have Ingalls, the circus and the races all in : the same week." (Laughter.) Senator Gibson followed. He said that the charees of the Senator from Kansas were an aspersion cn the character, and patriotism of tbe Southern people. At the conclusion of Mr. Iribson s . . ... . . . remarks the Senate at 6.40 adjourned BOCSI. The House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair), on the tariff bill, and was addressed by Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky. He pictured the financial ruin in which the country would be involved if the surplus in the treasury were permitted to accumulate. The only method by which this surplusoould be properly reduced was by a reduc tion of the taxation which was not only an unjust extortion but legal ized robbery. President Cleveland, he said, had made 1 imself conspicu ous before the whole country by the wisdom and courage exhibited in his annnal message when he recommend ed tax reform and reduction of the surplus. Congress should long ago have reduoed taxation, but the jour nals of the House would show that repeated efforts of the Democratic party in that direonon naa Deeu thwarted by gentlemen on tne otner side. Inveighing against the protec tive system he said that the present tariff had last year brought $27,000, 000 into'the treasury and put $869, 000,000 into tbe pockets of the manu facturers. For every dollar put into the treasury four dollars went to the manufacturers. He thought that a reduction of tariff taxes was the true method of reducing the surplus, because those taxed were upon neces sities while the internal revenue wa obtained from luxuries. Mr. Foran, of Ohio, opposed the bill, and prophesied that within two years the annual revenue from cus toms duties would be as much as it had been in 1887. He was compelled to believe that the projectors of the bill were governed more by a desire to cut and slash the tariff than by an honest wish to meet the condition the President expected them to meet. The bill he regarded as a humiliating confession that all the evil things which had been said about the tariff were not true. , Kir. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, declared that the time had come when the rep resentative! of the people should be was awakened to the importance of the high duty devolved upon them and no longer sieep at their posts while the wolf ttf protection was hanging around the homes they represented. He entered his earnest protest against a system which raised more money than was needed ta meet the demands of tbe government, and against a tax to foster certain men and industries. Tariff reform was the motto he had tacked to the mast head, and if he fell he would fall with his face to the foe. The firm principle of Democracy was a tariff for reieaue, which meant taxation for the economical support of the gov ernment. Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, remarked that the government bad raised $116,000, 00 outside of the tariff. Would it not be wise, he asked, to return to the policy advocated in the past bv the great statesmen of Virginia? Mr. O'Ferrall I favor cheap cloth ing and cheap necessaries of life, as against the cheap whiskey advocated by the gentleman from Iowa. Mr. Kerr I advocate the prohibi tion of whiskey. . You advocate a policy which makes it a permanent source of national revenue. Mr. O'Ferrall You want to give the poor man cheap whiskey and make him pay high prices for his clothing No man need drink whiskey, but overy tnan must wear clothing. (Applause). Mr. Butler, of Tennessee How about the tobacco tax? Mr. O'Ferrall I aai in favor of the repeal of the tobacco tax. Mr. Butler How about iron ore? Mr. O'Ferrall I am for a tariff on iron ore. Mr. Butler How are you on this bill? Mr. O'Ferrall I am for this bill. Mr. O'Ferrall then submitted an argument in support of the bill and in contravention of the claim of the protectionists that the protective tariff is the cause of h;gh wage in this country. Mr. Dorsey of Nebraska, followed in opposition to the bill. He said that industry and not popula tion created wealth. He advised the citizens of the West to either stop trying to build up their cities or to defeat sujj. attempts as were made in tbe pending bill to break down the industries. At the conclus on of Mr. Dortey's speech, the committee rose, and the House adjourned. A. Fatal Street Kaeoaat.r. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Nxw Obliahs, La., May 1.
