The senator from Kansas was mistaken in believing that he had been the subject of a personal attack prompted by personal of political hostility. He had not considered the senator from Kansas. He bad been in the Benate chamber when the senator from Kentucky, Mr. Blackburn, had disposed of the senator from Kansas finally and for all time. Sinoe thai memorable day the senator from Kansas had been a political corpse, his career ended, hii political life muffed out He had once met an old man, so infirm, so worn out that h« confessed be had been dead for a year, and was only walking about to save funeral expenses. It was so with the senator from ITanatu As to his charges, they were putrid, foul, despicable lies, to which he would make no reply. He would spurn* them, spit upon them, kick them from him. the letter as a recommendation in securing a Confederate military appointment, and in which letter Mr. Voorhees expressed his sympathy with the sentiments of this person on the questions then disturbing the (Country.

He had denounced all Union men v "Lincoln's dogs*—and had not excepted Hancock and McClellan. The senator .from Indiana had, in 1801, denounced Lincoln, "the martyr president, as a monster, an unhappy felon, reeking with the gore of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers needlessly and wantonly sacrificed. He had denounced Lincoln in thsss awful terms; he had urged that at the doss of his first term that that great president dmld be allowed to retire to his dishonest obscurity.

He had opposed t&e electoral commission, and had never been specially enamored of Mr. Hayes; but as the question was raised, he must say that the title of Mr. Hayes to the presidency was the most irrefragible ever held by an oocupant of the White House.

RACES AT NASHVILLE. and Says Mr. Ingalls Is a "Great IJar." The senator from Kansas could not fish up these infamous lies and cloak them with respectability or docency, but he might by a short step descend to their level. Having I The Most Disorderly Scene In the Sen Mr. Ingalls read some of the letters and documents in reference to the seizure of papers in Mr. Voorhees' office indicating his disloyalty and connection with the Confederacy and with secret disloyal organizations.at* for Twenty Tears. Washington, May 3.—In the past twenty ysaf* of the senate's history, no such excitement has prevailed as that of yesterday, nor has there been such utter disregard of the dignity of the senatorial office. Grave senators shouted at each other in defiance of the rules of parliamentary debate. "Liar" and "aooundrel" were bandied, while the packed galleries alternately hissed and applauded. Mr. Ingalls said that the senator from Indiana deserved oharity more than any other man on the floor of the senate, and received it more liberally. There was no man who could so poorly bear an examination of his record. In April, 1801, the senator from Indiana had declared that he would never Vote a dollar or a man toward the suppression of the war, and he had kept that promise. He had never cast such a vote. He had resisted the constitutional amendments, and had voted "no" on the vote to declare their validity. Democratic senators should not forget that the electoral commission was a Democratic devloe. It originated in Democratic purpoees, and was one of thoes mysterious cases in which ha that diggeth a pit for his brother falleth Into the pit. The Democratic interest in tbe electoral count becams languid and inert, when an inscrutable led to changes which resulted in its status becoming eight to seven in favor of Mr. Hayes. It was then that Henry Watterson summoned 100,- 000 unarmed Kentuckians to Washington to superintend the electoral count. About that time Mr. Ingalls said he had a conversation with President Grant. He asked the president whether he expected trouble in connection with the presidential installation. He replied that he did not, but it was his habitual way to be ready. Troops were ready. The occupant of the White House proposed to see that his fairly elected On* senator announced that if a political opponent acted in the police court as he was doing on the floor, he would be sent to the rock jfile aa "drank and disorderly." The confusion on the floor was equalled only by the confusion in the hallways and corridors where hundreds of eager men and women, unable to obtain an entrance into the galleries, stood and strained their ears to catch the "stray phrases that floated through the half-closed doors.

Mr. Voorbees ro*e and said he was not a subject for tlft charity of the Kansas senator. That senator was the object of his contempt. The charges had all been brought forward in political campaigns and in the house of representatives, and had been fully met and disposed of. The men who made the charges and the senator who repeated them told what was untrue. As to the insults of the senator from Kansas, he welcomed them from such a source as complimentary. The soldiers of Indiana had pawed upon the charge*. Handsome Patterns in Ladies' Colored Collars and Cuffs. Again and again senators sprang to their (eat to demand order, and again and again the presiding officer threatened to have the galleries cleared if order was not preserved. The sergeant at arms was instructed to arrest any one making a noise, but still thC crowd which filleda every seat, crowded the aisles and lined the walls of the gallery, applauded, hissed and laughed uproariously.

One of the most important questions before the convention is one which affects the rights of women. Are women eligible as delegates to a general conference of the Methodist church? This is the issue which confronts the convention at the outset, and as it is one that, in whatever way settled, will establish an ail important precedent, it is not to be wondered at that the scholarly men, the grave and reverend seniors of the Methodist church, are sinking all other considerations, for the time being, until this vital question Is disposed of. successor was inaugurated. He carried out his purpose. Thenmarmed Kentuckions did not come, and Mr. Hayes was inaugurated. Although the present occupant of the White House appears to have a title'deed to his seat, it was obtained by robbery as compared to the election of President Hayes. The election had been a deal. It had b«en the outcome of the deal and false pretense. It was a deal between Dick Turpin and Uriah Heep, Pecksniff and Cartouche. The only satisfaction now is that the sneaks and traitors, apostates and hypocrites, had not secured their share of the swag. faced and s'amred them down iu forty campaigns, lie neeu nut/1 now tosuch charges. When the senator from Kansas arraigned him and reflected upon his integrity, he exposed his own record, his own reputation, to examination. A Freight Wreek Near Jatnmtewn. JmiBTOWif, N. Y., May 8.—A westbound freight train on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad ran into the rear of another freight on a curve kalf a mile west of here, smashing four cars into splinters, and badly wrecking a mogul engine. The engineer and fireman saved themselves by jumping. The wreck was a bad one, and it took several hours to clear It. A brakeman named Shaughnessy had his shoulder dislocated.Mr. Ingalla asked whether the soldiers fft Indiana had threatened to lynch Mr. Voorhees from a railroad train.

Fitz John Porter wrote a letter from which I will read." Mr. Voorhees said that, unlike the senator from Kansas, he had not been followed to the senate by an investigation committee, charged with bribery and corruption in securing his seat, and whitewashed by a committee. The senator from Kansas could not afford to enter into personalities. Mr. Voorhees wanted it to be understood that he had intended to make no reference to the senator from Kansas in any other capacity than as the traduoer of Hancock and McClellan. It was in response to his attacks upon those heroes that he had originally spoken. Mr. Voorhees replied vehemently Mr. Ingalls said that his information was confirmed by a respectable and distinguished citizen of Indiana. "The senator is a great liar." Hs read an extract from a letter expressing gratitude and appreciation of the expressions of friendship and regard for Mm by southern man, and avowing his friendship tar southern man. "The man who whispers to you is a liar and a scoundrel I" rejoined Mr. Voohees, amid a scene of general excitement. Of course, there are among the delegates at the present convention a vast number of eminent divines and prominent men connected Farther Arrests for the Nasi* Tragedy. Wilkesbarbb. Pa., May 8.— George 8etbert, William Bitler and Kate Dprkin have been arrested and oommitted to jail here for complicity in the Berwick tragedy last Friday. They are charged with burning the house in which Annie Nagle perished in the dames. Henry Meyers, previously arrested, has implicated the others.' itr. Ingalls then took up The Congressional Record and read from Mr. Voorhees' speech criticising his attacks upon Union generals wh* remained members of the Democratic Senator Payne here Interrupted to say that the electoral commission had originated with Republicans. Mr. Voorbees retired from the chamber, and Mr. Eustis rose to deny the statements of Mr. Ingalls in reference to the Louisiana election. Large assortment of Corsets, Gloves and Shawls. 100 dozen Lace Mitts at 19 cts. a pair. The Confederate leaders are returning to power. They are securing control of the supreme court. Why was Lucius Quintus Curtlus Lamar appointed! Nobody ever suspected him of being a lawyer; his bitterest enemy never accused him of that He had not tried a case for forty years. It was an open secret that the president had once peremptorily refused to appoint him. He had a record—his career was known. Why, of all the men in the south, was it necessary to force upon a reluctant president and a reluctant people, this man who has never been a lawyer, who was the traducer of Lincoln, whose career was odious. He had been forced upon the president and upon the people because it was necessary to place upon the supreme bench the strongest and ablest representative of the Confederacy; the most Intimate and trusted associate of Jefferson Davis. The purpose had been frankly declared by Democrats in public life to erase from the statute books every vestige of the legislation of reconstruction, every trace of the results of the war. The supreme court and the court of last appeal was being turned over to men with suoh purposes. Justices are approaching the age of retirement, and the result is easily foreseen. The senator from Kansas now said that he did not refer to the militfu-y records of these great generals. He now says that he meant to refer only to these men as presidential candidates. With all due respect, this was a miserable afterthought. The senator's first speech bore no such interpretation. The attack upon those heroes was the charge of treason to their country and betrayal of their military trust. The senator from Kentucky had given the senator from Kansas ample opportunity to qualify, to retract, to apologize. He had allowed his words to stand. It was now too late to change them or deny their meaning. The charges, he said, were unfounded and without evidence. ;Their utterance was utterly unwarranted and indefensible. Ournew 15 cent Bustle equals any quarter bustle in Pittston. C Mr. Eustis denied the charge* generally, but said that any political action in Louisiana would be justified. The action of Republican leaders justified almost any methods in the south and would prepare the way for a coup d'etat Instead of being abashed by the efforts of the white people of Louisiana for free government he applauded them. Republican carpet bagger methods had justified and caused all that followed. He would advise a reign of terror rather than submission to negro domination in Louisiana. A Miners' Strike Mettled.

The senator from Kin— «u an adept in the iia of language; he oould not object to the most obvious rule* of interpretation. His language so interpreted placed Hancock and McClellan on a par with Benedict Arnold. His references to them were false from beginning to end. To charge McClellan with trying to make the war a failure was as utterly base a falsehood as could be spoken. When the loyalty of McClellan in later life was questioned, the aspersion was equally groundless. At the time of his nom ination, his loyalty was as true and earnest as when he rode into battle at Antietam.

Mr. Gibson followed Mr. Eustis, also replying to Mr. and denying the charges of Democratic outrages in Louisiana. Hodel'i Defense Will Be Insanity. Rockville, Conn., May 8.—The state finished its testimony yesterday in the trial of Hodel for the murder of his wife and children. The defense will try to prove insanity.'

Common Pleas—L K Strong et al vs Frank E Heed et al: Rule granted to show cause why i fa shall not be set r-slde, judgement opened and defendant let into a defense In the pamphlet publication of Mr. Ingalls' speech he found modifications upon which he wished to congratulate that senator. It was wise to soften some of those attacks. The pamphlet substituted the word "subservient" for "degraded" in referring to the elements of the north with which the late Confederacy ■ought alliapoe. The senator from Kansas challenged the right of others to speak in military matters. He attacked and criticised the military record of other senators. Mr. Voorheee had before him a copy of the senator's autobiographical sketch. It was minute and doubtless accurate. It recorded his secretaryship of a Wyandotte society and other details, but made no mention of a military record. THE TARIFF DEBATE. John Kester ts Catherine Kester: Issue formed by counsel approved. Ill bis former speech Ur. Ingalls said he had referred to some memorial addresses delivered on the dedication of southern monuments. He had now before him another similar speech. It was by Gen. Jackson, formerly minister to Mexico. This speech was delivered in Mason, Ga., in the presence of Jefferson Davis. In this speech he declared Jefferson Davis to be the true victor, and Abraham Lincoln the vanquished leader in the late war. Quarter Sessions—Com vs Perry Freas, libel: llotion to quash indictment filed and denied; same day case called and jury find defendant guilty. MeCreary and O'Farrell Fdr and Foran and Dortey Against the Bill. Washington, May 8.—The house went into oompiittee of the whole to consider the tariff bill and Mr. MoCreary, of Kentucky (Dem.), opened the day's debate with a speech in favor of the Mills bill. He said the people were confronted by a great public question of a rapidly increasing surplus in the treasury and useless and burdensome taxation. He oharged the Republioaa party with having defeated every attempt made by the Democrats to reduce taxation. The war taxse still remain, and they are heavier today on an average than they were during the war. The Bession commenced with devotional exercises. Bishop Bowman opened the conference, and a prayer, signed by all the bishops, was read, postponing all dlscusssion of the eligibility of female delegates until a later period of the proceedings. In view of this, the reading of the roll oall* by Dr. David L. Monroe, secretaryof the last general conference, proceeded uninterruptedly. Trade Palace.

A campaign was pending in Ohio at that time, and this speech proved singularly disastrous to the Democratic party of that state.

This was seconded and carried. Graduate of the TorontoVeteilnary College Canada, has located per 0 Mr manently In thla place. Mr. Voorhees also had, he said, the autobiographical sketch of the Kansas senator, written twelve years ago, in which he claimed to have been a major, a colonel and a Judge advocate of Kansas militia Recent biographical sketches omitted these claims to military glory. The records of the state of TTHTiHM did not sustain the claims. The reoordi of the adjutant general of Kansas did not record the senator as a warrior, even in the diluted and diminutive form of a judge advocate. Whatever might be his own War record, he would not shrink from a comparison with that of the senator from Kansas. Ack«rDi Eafllak Fnparaim. A of Scientific Old Ceunry Cured.

Mr. Ingalls then took up the subject of political outrages in the south. If the outrages "committed on southern Republicans were committed by foreign nations on American citizens there would be a declaration of war within sixty days, even with the present secretary of state in power. The result in Louisiana, Mr. Ingalls said, was an indication of what was to be expected next November. Mr. Foran, of Ohio (Dem.), followed with a speech In opposition to the bill Mr. Foran thought the projector! of the bill were governed more by a desire to cut and slash the tariff than by an honest wish to muet the oondition the president expected them to meet. The bill he regarded as a humiliating confession that all the evil things whkjh had been said about the tariff were not true. He earnestly opposed the proposition to place wool on the free list, and touching the question of wages, declared that if the bill passed American workmen would be compelled to compete with English workmen, and receive the same low rate of pay.

ASK FOB THJS j This statement provoked a general laugh on the Democratic side of the chamber, but Mr. Ingalls hastened to show that he referred to the frauds and outrages only. In conclusion he would say that he spoke only for the truth of history and justice to the dead. Dijleil Gen.

His order Ma *u uuald not be forgotten. Southera men had found in Hancock a man willing to co-operate with them, and from the time of his oelebraterl order and letter construing bis principles of constitutional law he had for many yean, and until his nomination in 1880, been in sympathy with the party which finally made him its candidate. Gssl Hancock's famous correspondence with Governor Pease could not be approved by those who take the loyal view of the results of the war. Mr. Ingalls then rose. He said that be regretted exceedingly that the senator from Indiana had referred to personal matters to which he had not intended to advert. He confessed that his military service was inconspicuous and obscure. .But as the senator from Indiana had spoken on these matters, he felt obligated to put on the record the fact, as to the senator from Indiana, as he had it from official and authoritative sources and such as would not be denied. * The election returns, he said, showed greater Democratic majorities in some instances than the entire voting populations.

RACES AT NASHVILLE. and Says Mr. Ingalls Is a "Great IJar." The senator from Kansas could not fish up these infamous lies and cloak them with respectability or docency, but he might by a short step descend to their level. Having I The Most Disorderly Scene In the Sen Mr. Ingalls read some of the letters and documents in reference to the seizure of papers in Mr. Voorhees' office indicating his disloyalty and connection with the Confederacy and with secret disloyal organizations.at* for Twenty Tears. Washington, May 3.—In the past twenty ysaf* of the senate's history, no such excitement has prevailed as that of yesterday, nor has there been such utter disregard of the dignity of the senatorial office. Grave senators shouted at each other in defiance of the rules of parliamentary debate. "Liar" and "aooundrel" were bandied, while the packed galleries alternately hissed and applauded. Mr. Ingalls said that the senator from Indiana deserved oharity more than any other man on the floor of the senate, and received it more liberally. There was no man who could so poorly bear an examination of his record. In April, 1801, the senator from Indiana had declared that he would never Vote a dollar or a man toward the suppression of the war, and he had kept that promise. He had never cast such a vote. He had resisted the constitutional amendments, and had voted "no" on the vote to declare their validity. Democratic senators should not forget that the electoral commission was a Democratic devloe. It originated in Democratic purpoees, and was one of thoes mysterious cases in which ha that diggeth a pit for his brother falleth Into the pit. The Democratic interest in tbe electoral count becams languid and inert, when an inscrutable led to changes which resulted in its status becoming eight to seven in favor of Mr. Hayes. It was then that Henry Watterson summoned 100,- 000 unarmed Kentuckians to Washington to superintend the electoral count. About that time Mr. Ingalls said he had a conversation with President Grant. He asked the president whether he expected trouble in connection with the presidential installation. He replied that he did not, but it was his habitual way to be ready. Troops were ready. The occupant of the White House proposed to see that his fairly elected On* senator announced that if a political opponent acted in the police court as he was doing on the floor, he would be sent to the rock jfile aa "drank and disorderly." The confusion on the floor was equalled only by the confusion in the hallways and corridors where hundreds of eager men and women, unable to obtain an entrance into the galleries, stood and strained their ears to catch the "stray phrases that floated through the half-closed doors.

Mr. Voorbees ro*e and said he was not a subject for tlft charity of the Kansas senator. That senator was the object of his contempt. The charges had all been brought forward in political campaigns and in the house of representatives, and had been fully met and disposed of. The men who made the charges and the senator who repeated them told what was untrue. As to the insults of the senator from Kansas, he welcomed them from such a source as complimentary. The soldiers of Indiana had pawed upon the charge*. Handsome Patterns in Ladies' Colored Collars and Cuffs. Again and again senators sprang to their (eat to demand order, and again and again the presiding officer threatened to have the galleries cleared if order was not preserved.

One of the most important questions before the convention is one which affects the rights of women. Are women eligible as delegates to a general conference of the Methodist church? This is the issue which confronts the convention at the outset, and as it is one that, in whatever way settled, will establish an ail important precedent, it is not to be wondered at that the scholarly men, the grave and reverend seniors of the Methodist church, are sinking all other considerations, for the time being, until this vital question Is disposed of. successor was inaugurated. He carried out his purpose. Thenmarmed Kentuckions did not come, and Mr. Hayes was inaugurated. Although the present occupant of the White House appears to have a title'deed to his seat, it was obtained by robbery as compared to the election of President Hayes. The election had been a deal. It had b«en the outcome of the deal and false pretense. It was a deal between Dick Turpin and Uriah Heep, Pecksniff and Cartouche. The only satisfaction now is that the sneaks and traitors, apostates and hypocrites, had not secured their share of the swag. faced and s'amred them down iu forty campaigns, lie neeu nut/1 now tosuch charges. When the senator from Kansas arraigned him and reflected upon his integrity, he exposed his own record, his own reputation, to examination. A Freight Wreek Near Jatnmtewn. JmiBTOWif, N. Y., May 8.—A westbound freight train on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad ran into the rear of another freight on a curve kalf a mile west of here, smashing four cars into splinters, and badly wrecking a mogul engine. The engineer and fireman saved themselves by jumping. The wreck was a bad one, and it took several hours to clear It. A brakeman named Shaughnessy had his shoulder dislocated.Mr. Ingalla asked whether the soldiers fft Indiana had threatened to lynch Mr. Voorhees from a railroad train. The largest assortment ever displayed in Pittston of Children's Lace Caps; White Dresses, Infants' Saoques and Muslin Underwear."Mr. President," he said, "on the 11th day at January, 1888, Mftj- Oen. Fitz John Porter wrote a letter from which I will read." Mr. Voorhees said that, unlike the senator from Kansas, he had not been followed to the senate by an investigation committee, charged with bribery and corruption in securing his seat, and whitewashed by a committee. The senator from Kansas could not afford to enter into personalities. Mr. Voorhees wanted it to be understood that he had intended to make no reference to the senator from Kansas in any other capacity than as the traduoer of Hancock and McClellan. It was in response to his attacks upon those heroes that he had originally spoken. Mr. Voorhees replied vehemently Mr. Ingalls said that his information was confirmed by a respectable and distinguished citizen of Indiana. "The senator is a great liar." Hs read an extract from a letter expressing gratitude and appreciation of the expressions of friendship and regard for Mm by southern man, and avowing his friendship tar southern man. "The man who whispers to you is a liar and a scoundrel I" rejoined Mr. Voohees, amid a scene of general excitement. Of course, there are among the delegates at the present convention a vast number of eminent divines and prominent men connected Farther Arrests for the Nasi* Tragedy. Wilkesbarbb. Pa., May 8.— George 8etbert, William Bitler and Kate Dprkin have been arrested and oommitted to jail here for complicity in the Berwick tragedy last Friday. They are charged with burning the house in which Annie Nagle perished in the dames. Henry Meyers, previously arrested, has implicated the others.' itr. Ingalls then took up The Congressional Record and read from Mr. Voorhees' speech criticising his attacks upon Union generals wh* remained members of the Democratic Senator Payne here Interrupted to say that the electoral commission had originated with Republicans. Mr. Voorbees retired from the chamber, and Mr. Eustis rose to deny the statements of Mr. Ingalls in reference to the Louisiana election. Large assortment of Corsets, Gloves and Shawls. 100 dozen Lace Mitts at 19 cts. a pair. The Confederate leaders are returning to power. They are securing control of the supreme court. Why was Lucius Quintus Curtlus Lamar appointed! Nobody ever suspected him of being a lawyer; his bitterest enemy never accused him of that He had not tried a case for forty years. It was an open secret that the president had once peremptorily refused to appoint him. He had a record—his career was known. Why, of all the men in the south, was it necessary to force upon a reluctant president and a reluctant people, this man who has never been a lawyer, who was the traducer of Lincoln, whose career was odious. He had been forced upon the president and upon the people because it was necessary to place upon the supreme bench the strongest and ablest representative of the Confederacy; the most Intimate and trusted associate of Jefferson Davis. The purpose had been frankly declared by Democrats in public life to erase from the statute books every vestige of the legislation of reconstruction, every trace of the results of the war. The supreme court and the court of last appeal was being turned over to men with suoh purposes. Justices are approaching the age of retirement, and the result is easily foreseen. The senator from Kansas now said that he did not refer to the militfu-y records of these great generals. He now says that he meant to refer only to these men as presidential candidates. With all due respect, this was a miserable afterthought. The senator's first speech bore no such interpretation. The attack upon those heroes was the charge of treason to their country and betrayal of their military trust. The senator from Kentucky had given the senator from Kansas ample opportunity to qualify, to retract, to apologize. He had allowed his words to stand. It was now too late to change them or deny their meaning. The charges, he said, were unfounded and without evidence. ;Their utterance was utterly unwarranted and indefensible. Ournew 15 cent Bustle equals any quarter bustle in Pittston. C Mr. Eustis denied the charge* generally, but said that any political action in Louisiana would be justified. The action of Republican leaders justified almost any methods in the south and would prepare the way for a coup d'etat Instead of being abashed by the efforts of the white people of Louisiana for free government he applauded them. Republican carpet bagger methods had justified and caused all that followed. He would advise a reign of terror rather than submission to negro domination in Louisiana. A Miners' Strike Mettled. Wjlkkhbaurx, Pa., May 2.—The miners and laborers of the Kingston Coal company who went on a strike Monday against a reduction of wages have returned to work. The company receded from its position and the matter has been amicably settled. Men's Cheviot Shirts, a good article at 25 cts. The best line of Percale, Flannel and White Shirts in town.

The senator from Kin— «u an adept in the iia of language; he oould not object to the most obvious rule* of interpretation. His language so interpreted placed Hancock and McClellan on a par with Benedict Arnold. His references to them were false from beginning to end. To charge McClellan with trying to make the war a failure was as utterly base a falsehood as could be spoken. When the loyalty of McClellan in later life was questioned, the aspersion was equally groundless. At the time of his nom ination, his loyalty was as true and earnest as when he rode into battle at Antietam.

Mr. Gibson followed Mr. Eustis, also replying to Mr. and denying the charges of Democratic outrages in Louisiana. Hodel'i Defense Will Be Insanity. Rockville, Conn., May 8.—The state finished its testimony yesterday in the trial of Hodel for the murder of his wife and children. The defense will try to prove insanity.'

It was wise to soften some of those attacks. The pamphlet substituted the word "subservient" for "degraded" in referring to the elements of the north with which the late Confederacy ■ought alliapoe. The senator from Kansas challenged the right of others to speak in military matters. He attacked and criticised the military record of other senators. Mr. Voorheee had before him a copy of the senator's autobiographical sketch. It was minute and doubtless accurate. It recorded his secretaryship of a Wyandotte society and other details, but made no mention of a military record. THE TARIFF DEBATE. John Kester ts Catherine Kester: Issue formed by counsel approved. Ill bis former speech Ur. Ingalls said he had referred to some memorial addresses delivered on the dedication of southern monuments. He had now before him another similar speech. It was by Gen. Jackson, formerly minister to Mexico. This speech was delivered in Mason, Ga., in the presence of Jefferson Davis. In this speech he declared Jefferson Davis to be the true victor, and Abraham Lincoln the vanquished leader in the late war. Quarter Sessions—Com vs Perry Freas, libel: llotion to quash indictment filed and denied; same day case called and jury find defendant guilty. MeCreary and O'Farrell Fdr and Foran and Dortey Against the Bill. Washington, May 8.—The house went into oompiittee of the whole to consider the tariff bill and Mr. MoCreary, of Kentucky (Dem.), opened the day's debate with a speech in favor of the Mills bill. He said the people were confronted by a great public question of a rapidly increasing surplus in the treasury and useless and burdensome taxation. He oharged the Republioaa party with having defeated every attempt made by the Democrats to reduce taxation. The war taxse still remain, and they are heavier today on an average than they were during the war. The Bession commenced with devotional exercises. Bishop Bowman opened the conference, and a prayer, signed by all the bishops, was read, postponing all dlscusssion of the eligibility of female delegates until a later period of the proceedings. In view of this, the reading of the roll oall* by Dr. David L. Monroe, secretaryof the last general conference, proceeded uninterruptedly. Trade Palace.

Mr. Voorhees also had, he said, the autobiographical sketch of the Kansas senator, written twelve years ago, in which he claimed to have been a major, a colonel and a Judge advocate of Kansas militia Recent biographical sketches omitted these claims to military glory. The records of the state of TTHTiHM did not sustain the claims. The reoordi of the adjutant general of Kansas did not record the senator as a warrior, even in the diluted and diminutive form of a judge advocate.
