all wlio have the mlsfortnne of his ac-
quaintance. Tbit comes of the self as-
serted excellence of the superior person.
Where such, therefore, comes to the
front, there Is s lust and popular demand
for an Investigation as to the ground of

to the high position of presiding
senate, is self constituted

upon the floor of the senate chamber.
In response to a long felt went we have
devoted more time than the. subject war-
rants to a study of our great censor's
past We must confess that hie personal
appearance did not encourage ui In a
hope of a successful vindication of hta
past. If the Almighty otter wrote s legl--
Die hand upon s human countenance, and
put that countenance In keeping with the
form, Senator Ingalls is a man men would
suspect and women avoid. The oold, ag-
gressive, vulture like facet above the slen-
der, snake like body, indicates the evil
quailltlee this very disagreeable person
seems to pride himself upon. Nature

which they recognise tlieir enemies. But

alone, and scientists should selso.upon
him at an early day for a glass case and
label setting forth the fact that the speci-
men is so rare and curious that it la tha
only one known to the museums.
We are struck with the intense patriot-
ism of this modern Cato. Nothing so ex-
cites his wrath and arouses his wordy In-
dignation as any doubt as to the loyalty
of auy one when the great republio
trembled through its vast and pouderous
frame upon the verge of ruin tu the war
of rebellion. He looks with asorn'vpon
the southern natatory, late brigadier gen-
erals, and own ho f ii*< to find words with
which to express his wrath and disgust of
the Democrats *he defeouuoe* as Copper-
heads. Bnt vfaterday he charged that
Gens. McClellan and Hancock were
allies of the Confederacy, and in a late
controversy of a somewhat personal na-
ture on the floor of the chamber came
down from Ida dignified position to bandy
epithets with Senator Voorhees.
One hearing them wrathful utterances,
and reading this patriot’a abum, would
suppose that he ct least was free of such
charge. One would conclude t iiat at the
first roll of the drum, this nobis patriot
had seised & musket and hurried to tha
front. Hie belief prevailed in the ap-
plauding galleries that his dead Confsder-

Is ludicrous to read those brief biographi-
cal notices, mostly written by the sub-
jects themselves, that appear from year
to year in Tha Cgngraailinnal, Directory,
and note in those devqted to Senator
Ingalls, of Kansas, how, as'the war gets
remoter the military services of the sena-
tor grow more and more distinct. “ 'Tis
distance lends enchantment," and that is
about the only enchantment the servioea
possess.
. This, however, is not the worst. This
animated senatorial sneer haa a graver
charge of Coppwheadlsm that haa gone to
record without. even a denial, and that
was prudent, fog it is not possible. Now,
hearing la Kind the late denunciation of
the daad MbClelan and Hancock, and the
abuse of the living, patriots who did ten-
der their lives to an imperiled republic,
lot us see how the naked facta blister tha
record of our oorn fed Oatoof Kansas.

Bapublican state convention of Kansas

ludicrous and shameful. The Leaven
yrorth Conservative, a sound Itapublkaa
paper, styled a ooalltion of soreheads and
copperheads traitors to their country. In
an article published Sept. >1, 1861. the
editor eaya:
“We eoneede to the mongrel opposition

“Of tha men who declared free state

“Of every man who haa a safeguard

“In abort, of all who can join In an alii

treasury, of the opponents of the war,
and those who are willing to terminate it
at any coat to our free institutions."
In 18#4 tha regular Republican conven-
tion nominated the governor who had
beeu olected two years before. Again the
copperheads and bolting soreheads held
cooperative conventions, end placed lu
the field e state ticket Again this ani-
mated senatorial mud volcano of patriotic
vituperation appeared as a candidate for

Kansas called the Treason ticket.

“It Is a mistake to suppose," says this
organ, “that all CoppcrheadUm In Kansas
Is embraoed within ths limits of the so
called Democratic organisation. We have
hitherto shown that the embryo bolter's
party was preparing to merge Itself Into
what has now become the McClellan Tory

he keeps. We heartily detest the Peck-
tnifflen policy which characterises this
faction. It refused to ratify the Lincoln

countenancing a m
pretense of reform

for the plotters the
patronage, to deliver it into the hands of
the wont enemies of our country, and
give the electoral ticket of Kansas to the
peace candidate for the presidency."
On the 15th of October of that year this
paper sala.of the gang of bolters to which
our Ingalls belonged:
‘They prefer to regenerate the Republi-
can party of Kansas by combining with
the McClellan and Pendleton Democrats
and by dividing the offices with the

Remembering that heated personal dis-
cussion which disgraced the senate cham-
ber not long since between onr- patriotic
censor in perpetual eolation end the tall
son of ^he Wabash, the above extract is

while the sponsor of the unholy alliance,

nounced emt lithe fretted ceiling of the
senate chamber fairly rattled with his
vituperative sentences.
This same journal continues on the lfitb
of November the now very awkward his-
tory of the disloyal alliance. It says:
“It was a vicious, treacherous and
holy alliance between the secret enemies
of the government and a set of disap-
pointed, lnilneare and unscrupulous
hangers on of the Republican party. The
Thatcher vote (Thatcher was the heed of
Ingalls’ ticket) gives the strength of the

The story of tha “traitors' ticket" can
be told, and Cat

animated senatorial dyspepsia who springs
to his feet when the soldier Is mentioned,
end hurls anathemas at southern briga-
diers aud northern Democrats because of
his gisat love of tho men under muskets
who saved the Union, did not receive the
support nor enjoy the confidence of those
some men of the muskets wlillo the wsr
was going On. Out of the soldiers’ voto
Cato got 071 to the votes riven his
opponent, which coanted 3,047, sq that
evory four out of the five, “voting as they
shot," deemed thh ticket with Ingalla'
name upon It the treason ticket.
What would have happeued to this
fiend Of s phfitse eater haa Senator Voor-
hees known, wheu our Ingalls denounced
McClellan and Hancock aa “allies of the
Confederacy," that. In the very hour when
McClellan was leading our forces tp the
battle field of Antletem, to resist and

Now note the date. It was at the dark-
est hour of that death straggle, and tha
roar of the Confederate cannon was throb-
tenant governor. The gallant prosecutor
of chicken thieves in camps remote from
deadly strife did not seem to have im-
pressed his noble services on his fellow
citlxens, for they declined by an over-
whelming majority to put him In nomi-
nation. A gallant soldier who had been
to the front and won his spars amid the
dead and dying was too strong for the de-
don patches.

The official record now before us and
not to be disputed, of the senatorial elec
tlon of John J. Ingalla In 1870, Is curious
reading, and learn us little reasuu to
doubt the Justice of a sentiment that rel-
egated the eo called senator to a solitary
existence. It wee not so common then as
now to have these senatorial chairs put
up at auction and sold to the highest bid-
ders. The senate woe yet s political body,
and not a social club for millionaires to
oeoupy because of their smith. The
corruption attending Ingalls’ election was
ao bare faced that the seat might he said
to have been cold in open market. Ths
excited people were uot so accustomed to
such transactions at that day, ami lures,
tiget Ions were demanded and had. The
result, aa re port od by the comiulttoo ap
pointed by the lower house of the Ksnsns
legislature, confesses and avoids In a way
that la as charming lu Its simplicity as it
la startling lu tta morality. Here la tbe
finding:
“The Btaiorlty reported that they had
examined about foriy-flvo witnesses; that
they find from the testimony that John J,
Ingalls, ths recently elected L'ultedStutcs
senator, used no corrupt means to secure
his election to the United States senate
end that neither of said lato senatorial
candidate* were guilty of bribery or col-
ruption in the lateseuntorinl election, and
that there was no evidence against any
member of tbe house whirh would war
rant their expulsion. ”
This coat of whitewash was laid on by
a vote of 60 to 44.
But the house desired it to be under
stood" that this was whitewash, and
straightway proceeded to resolve;
“Whereas, The testimony taken by the
Investigation committee discloses the fact
that certain members of tho house did,
durtug the late senatorial canvass, take
special pains to place themselves hi posi
tfou to be offered money to influence their
votes, and did In some instances actually
receive money, though not from either of
tho senatorial candidates; therefore, bo it
“Resolved, That the conduct of ull such
members is deserving of, and this house
does administer upon them, its sorcrest
censure, committing them to tho care of
their constituents for their ultimate con
damnation which they so richly deserve. ’
These two resolutions reveal a very
clear glimpse of I ho elides of tho meii
who elected Ingalls. It is clearly evi
deuced that, according to their morality,
tho member who receives a bribe is not
deemed fit for expulsion; but lie is to bo
reprehended if caught at it. It is fur-
thor shown that a senatorial candidate in
Kansas may resort to bribery provided lie J
acta by agent aud not in propria persons
But the history did uot eud hero. A
memorial signed by some thirty odd mem
bers of tho Kansas legislature, charging
Mr. Ingalls and his agents with acts of

litical associates slid rnends, to what are
