f The sensation at the capitol this
;tc wfia tLe war of epithets, a
iaationa and denuQciatiou,bettveen
Jttators Iogalli, cf Kana9. and
'oorhees, of Indiana. It was on
acsdaj. and two hours before the

senate, all available apace on
the floor of the chamber and
in the gnlleiieg wis talcen, the
doorways were jtmrncd with people
and out in the corri-loi a there was a
curious mas of human. ty sufUcicnt
to have fillod the nllciies over
ajain, but with no hope of getting
even near one of the doot way which
commanded a view f the interior.
Congressmen left the all impoi taut
tariff debate in the hoiie of rejre
sentatives ud eaino ovt-r t lo'r tli
wrathy sjeeehej, for everylody ex
pected to me Senator li:;tlU jioiir
vitroil ujton iin.l ajjdy stoiir-M to
it., l . : i i l
taken exception to hi recent speech
on the dependent pension lull. In
that speech Mr. lu:iils nHmled to
(lens-. JanciM-k und .MeClellnn a
allies ef the eoiifedevitev, fr
this he wit vehemently attacked by
Senator Voothee Inst week. His
reply was to Mr. Yooihee' nlt.uk.
Ijftek f fipice forbids mo lo j,'ive
even nn epitomized form f tin-
remarks oi utin r i ino n n.-itoris, t
but the i-ceite in the finite w.is one:
en i
1 II t t .1 . r , t

personal in I he extreme, and uhilej
it wu not l;illii:gsate, it va- fir:
l"yofnl Hillili ;.-g."it.'s i t leroj'd.
Mil l although no blows ver actually
struck, ererybtttly h Id his Lri'.ath
for awhilv and thought there would
be.
Iu the course of his remark Mr.
Ingalls took occasion to pay that
Justice L:unir was no lawyer, never
had been, nnd that he w.n appointed
by a reluctant pteaident only be
cause he was the nearest fiieml of
Jefferson Davis, lie made juile
number of statements concerning
. . , .
Senator oorh-es t ohtical record
1
for the past t went v-live veais, some j
e ,t , i i i .. i l .
of which the latter branded as cam-
paign lies, sating he did not deign
to reply to such accusations. lie
would simply t-pit upon them and
trample upon them, kick them.
Several times Mr. Voorhees called
Mr. Ingalls n liar, a great liar, and
one time a dirty dog. Representative
Johnson, of Indiana, who was seated
at a desk immediately in rear of Mr.
Ingalls, was alluded to in several
instancen as having vouched for the
truth of somo statement made in
regard to. Mr. Voorhees' past course
of conduct. "lie is n liar if he
iutimates Much a thing," roared the
senator, "it never occurred, never
in the world, pass my answer to the
scoundrel behind von, and tell him I
say he is nn infamous scoundrel nnd
liar. Tell hini I ny so." At one
time Senator Ingalls said passion
ately, "If this were a police court,
that citieu there, from Indiana,
would ln arrested aud put in the
dock for Wing drunk and dis-
orucii.
There was intense, excitement dnr-1
ing the interchange of these eompli-!
merits, but fiually lxjth senators
seemed lo realize that they had gone
farther than they had intended.
Senators Hindi and Gibton, of
Louisiana, then replied with some
spirit to Mr. Ingalls criticism of
Louisiana election metlnHls, and
fortunately the senate udjourr.ed
without the belligerent senators
getting the tlsr again. It was
long time however befote that end
of the ctpitol was cleared. People
hung a rt'U nd the corridors looking
for a continuation out of doors oi
the bo-.ttIiti o tierreiy w.igttl
within.
The verdict ,.f sol i -miiidi d
eople on the Tuesday's debate is
that tbere was no'hing ti admire in
it, that its chief characb ri-tics were
its shocking lack of dignity aid its j
entire want of opposite nc-ss to any
living question of the day, and that
while such a spectacular exhibition
might bo pardonable on the Mtump,
it should never have taken place ou
the floor of the United States senate.
Satire and indignation were, the fire
arms used, and in regard to which
enator displayed the greater degree
of skill in their management, it
depended altogether on the sym
pathies of the audience one way or
the other.
The senate has been discussing
thft Chinese treaty behind cloned
doors.
Tho tariff debate proceeds in the
house with only an occaxional tilt
between the speakers to Lieak the
monotony.
Comment upon the nomination cf
Mr. Fuller, of Illinois, for chief
justice of the United States, has been
favorable to the selection from every
standpoint.

Salem telegram to the Oregoninn
under date of May 11: liy to
night's mail, B. J. Hendiicks editor
of the Statesman, received a per
sonal letter from Congressman

of ' date May Ctb, regarding his
work in congress, from which your
correspondent is p ettnitted to take
the following:
Ileferring to the nugetition of
many of my democratic friends, that
I have not paatsed any billx at this
seion, although I have nec tired the
passage of four already, one a very
important public bill (a new land
district embracing nearly ten million
acres), nnd hope to puns about six
more I efore w e elote the (.eshioti,
not t oiiiiting whftt is secured in the
river and harbor bill, and other gf n
ernl measures 1 concluded to in
terview some of the lending and
oldest ii.eiijlen .-f tbin congress as
to their fee -id.) in the passage of
bills, nnd to-day each of the gentle
men named expressed to mc the
diilleulty he ha experienced to get
any mcneurcx through thin house,
and from thir own lipn I quote to
you thir answers to me.

These gentleman ba,ve neither the
immense correspondence nor the
department work, nor committee
labors in the interest of their con
stittients which belong to the
member from Oregon. They have
colleagues to aid them in a close
vote. Mr. Cox, of New York, can
bring thirty-four votes where New
York is locally affected, while Oregon
is sure of but one. New York is .11
to 3.1; Oregon i 1 to '..". In the
senate, however. Oregon is the eipial
of New York, or 1 to 3s. With all
these diftieiiltiee. Oregou has more
bills pan-ed and far more rejvoiled

appropriations are larger than ever.

TOXES OF THE VOICE,
It is a curious fact that the tones
of civilized races are louder and
harsher than those used by savage
tribes. Indeed, among people who
are classed as civilized, it will
commonly be-found thst the more
highlf cultivsted, up to a certain
point, epeak in a sharper tone.
' Of course when cultivation and
refinement have reached the point
that the tones of the vcice have
become a matter of attention and
care, tho rule no longer holds, for
tnen low, well-modulated tones arc
acquired as an accomplishment.
The philosophy of this peculiarity
aeeins to be that the same
races the leadership in advancement
are accompanied by unusual norvous
strain, and we are well nwaru how
plainly nervousness is indicated in
the tones. The people of" New
I'ngland speak iu n -harper mid
shriller voice than their cousins in
old iCngland. They are also more
intense in feeling and more eager in
action.
That this difference is not due to
the influence of climate is apparent
upon comparison of our people
with thopfl of the dominion to the
north and cast of us. It is only as
climste or other agencies may affect
the entire character of a people that
it has anything to do with tho tones
in which tl.ey speak.
Commonly, as wo approach the
tropica, we lind thn voice lower and
softer; but, then, this is only iu
keeping with the whole life of the
people, which shows less of force
j und earuestuesH than that of people
who inhabit the temperate r.one. It
suggests that they ai lo .ndolent
to raise their voices.
The wilier recall Unit he has more
than once been a-.ked by persons
! from Uinil and from the Spanish
countries of South America, who
were newcomer among us, whether
tho-c whom they overheard were
really scolding, for they discovered
no petulance nor ilbfecling except
iu the tones of tho voice. Such
piostions am calculated to awaken
profitable reflections. Youth's Com

Sr, Lot is, May 13. At 11 o'clock
yesterday morning tho levee situated
south of Alexandria, Missouri, broke
in several places, and a vast volume
of water begun pouring into the
town, which was completely inuu
dated. A sparnodic attempt was
made to cheek tho irresistible flow,
but within a few minutes, laborers
quit nnd accepted the inevitable. It
required Jess -than an hour lo inun-
bite tho entire town, which is
cove.ed vith water from two to six
feet, submerging almost every foot
of ground.
The water reached half of tho
houses, and their occupants sought
refuge in the upper stories cf build
ings, where they will lie imprisoned
until the flood subsides. In the
main streets tho water is fully three
feet deep, circumscribing the move
ment of tho population and render
ing transportation from one point lo
another possible only by means of
skiffs or rudrlv constructed rafts.
Sidewalks aro ovei flowed an I skiffs
are landed in the doorways o private
residences. Business is entirely
suspended. Thero has leen no loss
of life nor great damage to properly
within the town.
At this point the Mississippi is
fully seven miles wide and within
the range of viaion one vs-t p;tnse
of water greets the eye, Th area
of farming land in the Missouri
bottoms that is aubmergod is esti
mated nt 7",0lMi ncres, ami a con
tinuance of the flood will result iu
an approximate loss to the fsi tiling

,r, rtn., Mas HI.--After fifteen
days continued ruin iu Miuucsota
and Dakota, the weather has sud
denly become extremely cold, the -thermometer
lefristeHng below the
freezing point. In .Southern Minnu
sota thu farmers aro much discour
aged over I ho outlook. Somo say
they will not attempt to finish
seeding, lit all the river counties
thu ground is so wet that farmers
cannot get into their fields, and
when it is dry enough to work it will
bo too lalo to sow wheat. Many
aimers have given up sowing any
moro and will put their ground to
oats nnd coin. Iu Rice county
onds of water stand ou th plowed
fields, und the, farmers are afraid
that much of tho seed sown, before
tho rain will rot iu the ground. All
vegoiation has stood still for two
weeks, nnd garden seeds rowu two
weeks ayo havo not sprouted.

Tho effort to restock tho fish
brooks und creeks as well as rivers
and ponds of tho East with fish
slock is of more importunco than is
popularly eulimnled. As the world
Jills up with population food sup
plies grow proportionately less plen
tiful us well ns le-s easy to be ob
tained. But old sources can be
renewed, nnd new methods of sup
ply are constantly being discovered.
Our ngiicultutists are devising bet.
ter methods of increasing the crops
per ucip, nnd chemists promise us
thnt before it U a necessity food
prod n Is fchall be directly cteated in
the luUuatory from natural ele
ments. But for tho present the seu
is tho great inexhuustible reservoir
of food. An ncio of writer may be
made to produce, more than ten

man, yet. is above nil, teeming with
lifo suitable for man's use. , Hon.
Gardiner Ilubbaid, president of the
national geographical society, nays:
"Knowledge gained has enabled us
to breed aud multiply at will, and
the fecuudity of fish is so great that
it may now be possible to feed the
world from the ocean, and set tho
laws of Miihhtis at defiance," In
