Col. ROBERT G. INGERsoLL's SPEECH BEFORE

Following is the response of Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll at the dinner of the Army of the
Tennessee, in Chicago, on Thursday last in
response to the toast "The Volunteer Sol
diers of the Union Army, whose valor and
patriotism saved to the world Government

''When slavery, in the savagery of the lash,
and the barbarism of the chain, and the in
sanity of secession, applause, confronted
the civilization of our country, the question,
will the great Republic defend itselfn trem-
bled upon the lips Of every lover of mankind.
The grand North, filled with intelligence and
wealth, the products of labor, marshaled her
hosts and asked only for leader. From the
people man, silent, thoughtfully poised,
and calm, stepped forward, and, with the lips
of victory, voiced the Nations first and last
demand-unconditional and immediate sur
render. Applause. From that moment
the end was known. That uttcrance was the
first real declaration of real war, and in ac-
cordance with the dramatic writers of mighty
events, the soldier who made it received the
final sword of rebellion. Loud applause.
''The soldiers of the X, public were not
seekers for vulgar glory, neither were they
animated by the hope of plumber or love of
cruel conquest. No no, never. They

that their children might have peace. APP

of chains, and in the name of the future.
slew the monster OF their time. They finish
ed what the soldiers of the Revolution COM
menced. They have relit the torch that fell
from their august hands, and filled the
world again with light They blotted out
from our statute-books the laws passed by
hypocrites at the instigation of robbers, loud
applause. They made it possible for judges
to be just, for statesmen to be humane, and
for politicians to be honest. They broke the
shackles from the limbs of slaves. from the
souls of masters, and from the Northern
brain. They kept our country on the map of
the world and our flag in heaven. They
rolled the stone from the sepulchre of prog
ress and found therin two angels clad in shin
ing garments-nationality and liberty.
Loud applause.

The New York Mail suggests that ladies
over FIVE and twenty years of age who wear
mems Derby hats on the streets have no one
but themselves to blame If they are insulted.
The hat is only suitable for young girls.
In the new seaskin slcques the front j.
double-breasted. and is fastened by strips of
seal, held by loops; the back. which is with
out centre seam, is shaped more to the figure.
and a broad reverse collar clasps the throat.
1t is reported that retail millinery house
in New York is offering Derby hats at ten
cents apiece, to coored persons only, hoping
thereby to render this style of hat unpopular
with the better class, as Derby requires
little or ne trimming.
The new changeable velvets are used f r
rich bonnets in quaint contrasts of color,
trimmed with a scarf of cashmere-fgur, d
silk in which are many gold threads; others
are trimmed with plush-striped ribbons that
change in different lights to show contrasting
cOlors.
Feather tnrbans are in favor at the present
time. soft crown of silk, velvet or of any
material that matches the costume is sur
rounded by any of the handsome breasts or
wings that are worn this winter More ex-
pensive turbans have the large flat crown
covered with jet.
| For dress bonnets white brocadcd satin with
sometimes embossed velvet figures is used
for the crown, while the brim will be plain
velvet of a contrasting color. The softest
curled ostrich plumes resembling willow
feathers are used on these, also the heads of
birds with closed eyes as if asleep.
The novelty for the head is the toque,
which is really hat, but is worn as bonnet,
with strings or without, according to fancy.
The crown is small and quite round, and
| the brim is enlarged in curve all around 1t
| Just like bowl, somewhat in the shape of the
helmet hats worn by gentlemen. 1t is very
handsome when made with satin crown,
and the brim covered with plush with deep
pile like fur, or else real seal-skin, beaver, or
| otter is used.

copied from old paintings are other features

very rich dress. while a white satin waist and
train have the fiat front breadths of silver
brocade strewn with roses; the waist has
sharp points front and back, with armor puffs
| at the top of the sleeves. Other sleeves are
gathered at the elbows, and trimmed there
with rosettes.
| Large square table mats and tides of silk
plush in bronze, green, Pompeiian and pale
blue sections are the newest things in fash

along the seams and edges with feather and

designs with sample stitches. The edges

The talk about the returns from Portland
being defective seems to have arisen from
an idea that the whole number of votes
was omitted in making up the return,
The clerk has forwarded a copy of the
record to the Governor and Council, which
gives the total vote The clerk is of the
opinion that the blank return sent out by
the Secretary OF State had no line for the
total vote. If this were so it may be the
same in many other towns, and the Secre-

The most sensational stock transaction
of the seas on, says the Tribune. is the
sale of twenty millions of New York Cen
trail by William Ii. Vanderbilt, at 12O, to
syndicate composed of Jay Gould, Rus
sell Sage. Cyrus w. Field, and some OF
our strongest New York and London bank
ers. A curious denial was made Wednes-
day night by Mr.. Vanderbilt. but the state
ments are reaffirmed by bankers not easily
deceived, who have, themselves, no inter-
est in the matter; and it is known that,
weeks ago, Mr.. Vanderbilt expressed a
desire to negotiate for an even larger sale
The transaction, as reported, will at once
be Interpreted by many as meaning the
final contamination of the long talked-of
through line between San Francisco and
New York. However that may be. it I'M
doubtedly means that Mr. Vanderbilt de-
sires TO associate other interests with his
own in the control OF the Central, and to
avert the hostility which his gigantic hold
ings tended, in his opinion, to concentrate
upon himself. The amount of stock he
was willing to part with for this purpose
has been understood to be at least one half
more than the sum embraced in yester-
days transaction, and it is said by his
friends that Mr.. Vanderbilt can part with
this enormous property and still retain
more than his father left him.

More Reasonable.

The Governor and Council appear to
have come into a better ''frame of mind
than they were a week ago. Wheth-
er their consciences smote them be-
cause of the work in which they were en-
gagged, or the apparition of the Supreme
Court caused them to hesitate, let the peo-
pie judge.
Last Saturday morning an order was
drawn up and passed the Council without
opposition. announcing that the Governor
and Council will be in session from the
first to the thirteenth of December, and
that during that time candidates for office
.'claiming irregularities or other. causes
presumed to vitiate their election, will
shave reasonable opportunity to be heard
"either personally or by duly authorized
counsel Out of the curious phraseol-
ogy of this order we infer that republican
candidates are to be permitted to see the
returns and have opportunity to be heard.
The order does not directly say so, but we
conjecture that it was intended to be so
understood. 1t could hardly be expected
that those who so laboriously and diligent-
ly guarded the returns during the trying
scenes of last week lest republican eyes
should get, sight of the precious papers,
would gracefully yield what they had so
stubbornly refused, and SO their order is
. an incongruous tumble. What do the
Governor and Council mean when they
speak of candidates for offices ''claiming
irregularities or other causes presumed
f'to vitiate their electionp" We know of
no candidates claiming irregularities, {"
&C., to defeat their own election. Candi-
dates seldom claim what will defeat them.
What the republican candidates for Office
claim, is the right to see the returns that
they may examine for themselves whether
there are in said returns any IRREGULAR
ties or evidence of other causes that may
vitiate their elections; and if such irregu-
larities, &C., exist, then they claim the
right to correct them as far and in such
manner as the statutes permit. That is
what republicans claim and all that they
claim. If under the order they can have
this they will be satisfied with it. If it
does not mean this, but is without mean
ing except to deceive. it would have been
better for the Governor and Council If they
had never issued it.
Republicans will accept it as fair Or
der to permit them to see the returns as
has been the custom in times past. The
test Of its character will soon be made
If it is a deception and meant as snare
republicans will look for their rights to
another tribunal, which we believe will
see that they have justice.

cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, BY depriving them of
the consolation Of hope. Persons affected with

gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
