Boz INGERsoLL, the eloquent and
gifted atheist, lectured in Washing
ton last Sunday night in the Ma
tional Theater, and we are told that
the audience was large-in fact filled
the house to its fullest capacity from
the orchestra to the gallery. AS a
money speculation the lecture was
success, as all the seats and stand
ing room in the building was occu-
pied at price of admission ranging
from fifty to seventy-five cents.
Throughout the entire lecture, as
has been reported, it was the object
of the silver-tongued lecturer to
ridicule the idea of God and the
Bible, which is the accepted history
of creation, and of the people and
nations that followed as conse-
quence down to its close, and to
bring contempt upon all that the
Christian world holds dear. This
seems to be the object of his efforts
when they extend beyond the matter
of coming money out of a retail
trade in his unchristian dogmas. AL
the brilliancy of Ingersoll's intellect
and the wonderful eloquence of his
oratory cannot, or will it ever, de-
stroy the good, the efficacy of the
Lords prayer" The child lisps it,;
the mother teaches it; and man
scared and hardened in sin remem-
bers the prayer of his childhood, and
in it's utterance acknowledges the
God and Saviour of mankind. No!
no. Ingersoll, all the magnetism OF
thy oratory will never breathe the
inspiration of sour Father which
art in Heaven !" In spite of your
assaults God will sit upon His throne
guide and direct the world in all
its wonderful works as He has done
since the morning stars sang to-
gether the anthem of creation-and
in the midst of all this Colonel In
gersoll will be permitted to perform
his atheistic role, draw upon the
people for their money, make gain
from the mammon of unrighteous'
ness, and then die as the fool dieth,
because he so wills it as the archi'
tect of his ewn destiny. tan

''limberback Democrats. "(Y)
This system has been adopted
wherever dissatisfaction has existed
in any party, and know OF no place,
county or State, where it has been
adopted, that has ever permitted q
return to the old system.
These are the reasons which con-
trolled me in Offering and voting toI
the above resolution. Whether
acted wisely as an official member OF
the Executive Committee in present
ING these resolutions, | leave TO the
members of the Democratic and
Conservative party to decide
believed it was in the interest OIL
united and harmonious party.
know it is, and always must be re-
garded as the most perfect system by
which to nominate candidates; and |
believe that no change is too extreme
which must result in the people
directly selecting their own agents.
Had the proposition | submitted
been published with the vote of the
committee should have been silent,
confident that q pefusal of the reso.
lutions would have been my justifi-
cation.
Another error in the official report
t?) of said COMMITTEES | desire to
correct, is: After speaking of my
presence at the meeting, and the
offering by DIR. Davis of the resolu-
lions published, the report says,
ssthey were unanimously adopted. /"
Permit me to say, Messrs. Editors,
that | was not present as the report
implies, having been called out to
try case before Justice Gardner,
before these resolutions were offered.
Had | been present l should have
been compelled to vote against them
for the following reason
LIST. The County Executive Com
mittee has no power or authority to
subdivide a voting precinct.
I'd. The resolution dividing Mar
tinsburg into FIVE subdistricts or
wards, is absolutely impracticable,
as there can be no basis of represen-
tation from The wards, there never
having been party vote by wards
within my knowledge. Who is SO
wise as to say how many votes the
delegates of any ward would be en-
titled to cast in the county conven--
ton Taking as the basis OF repre-
sentation in said convention, the vote
for Governor in 1876, as is usual
and necessary, when the vote was
by districts, Of course no delegate
elected by one ward could cast
any part of the vote Of any other
ward. For this reason it is impos-
sible to divide a voting precinct.
3D.. Again, by dividing the town
you furnish better opportunity to
manipulatorS Of conventions to pack
them than exists by a convention of
the whole district. In the one case
you have a small number to over
come, In the other a much larger
number.
Hoping that you, Messrs. Editors,
and the public, will pardon the
length of this communication, in
consideration Of the fact, that it
will fully and frankly bring to the
attention of the people, the most
practical and at the same time fair
est system for the nomination of
candidates for office.

FRIDAY. Sept 3-P NJ
BY the initiated 1t has been well understood for
some time that the actual railway rates from Chi
cago to the seaboard. produce and grain,
not the same IN the nominal schedule rates that
were published Tho amount OF business which
the railroads doing was inconsistent with a
comparison of their schedule rates and the prevail
ing rates by the lake and canal. But it generally
has been supposed that such rebates rs the railroads
allowed to large shippers fixed
by an agreement between the different
railroad companies. and that. therefore,
although tho real rates not what
they seemed TO be- there was no cutting of rates
a. between the companies. Lately. however, there
have been several that even the rates agreed
upon were not maintained and that IN certain cases
rebates greater than the contracts permitted were
allowed. This practice ally has been charged
to the Grand Trunk Railroad new connect lion with
