The onslaught on Colonel Ingersoll by Chief Justice Comegys of Delaware in his charge to the grand jury at the opening of the February term of the criminal court in Wilmington will attract much attention and give rise to much discussion. IngersoH had lately lectured in Wilmington. The judge said ''Blasphemous language was used near where we are assembled by an audacious dis ciple of the defamers of revealed religion, for the purpose of exposing it's doctrines to contempt and ridicule, and, to what some consider the reproach of the people of this city, no man stepped forward to call him to account for his defiance of the law of the State. I say to you that the law of this State is against the insulting of God by re- proachful or derogatory language or expres- sions, and exciting the passions of the people by treating their religion with contempt. No community such as ours can exist as healthy moral organization, where men are allowed to speak without challenge against the very and only foundation upon which it securely rests-the everything power of God. When we dethrone His majesty and erect in His place our own notions of right and wrong,
 we shall soon pass into a state of life not re- straining, but in effect promoting, our inhe- rent propensity to evil, for no candid man can pretend that our impulses are not toward

INGERsoLL AND WATTS.

To the Editor OF The REPUBLICAN:
There was poet once called the Divine
Watts. The beauty of many OF his sacred lyrics
justified the name. But this poet held gloomy
creed, and his muse was faithful 10 his creed, and
one OF his hymns beginning
Life is the time to serve the Lord"
gives in verse the goomiest picture OF the gloomi-
est Calvinism. Many years ago this hymn used TO
be selected to be sung at funerals. Here are some
of the lines:
The living know that they must die
But all the dead forgotten lie;
They have no part in all that's done
Beneath the circuit of the sun;
Their memory ana their sense is gone
forever town.
Alike unknowing and unEnown-
There are no acts of pardon past

But darkness, death, ana long despair
Reign In eternal silence there.

gersoll the man whose benevolence OF heart led
him to reject Christianity and become an inilde
We believe his views were the result OF n revolt
from the Calvinism painted by the hymn, but
when he says, There is no God" II seems to us
that he brings the human mind by another road
TO just the same gloom that Watts felt
when he wrote the hymn-even greater,
for Watts did believe a few were saved
from the great doom. IF Ingeroll is right
the hymn which the Christian church has for years
put in the background should be brought forward
for his followers 10 sing. Wa are sure that In onc

A representative ofTHE REPuBTIoANmet
Mr.. r. II. Bryan, leading citizen and prominent
Rcadiuster of Stafford County, Virginia, yesterday,
and asked:
"what kind OF a meeting did you have ut the
court house the day Blair and Mckinney spoke
ave had a very enthusiastic meeting. A inlr
representation Of the intelligence Of the c.
turned out to hear the discussion II failed tO be
a discussion, because Mr. Mckinney failed 10 dis
cuss the questions before the people with Blair.
The great questions which the people OF Virginia
consider TO be vital were not touched by the Bour
bon candidate"
"Did Blair present the issues OF the canvass9"
Ho did, in clear and decisive manner, and
demanded an honest criticism from his opponent
who declined to discuss the question of the State
debt, and said that he did not know anything
about II; that he was opposed to the funding bill
but was in favor Of honest settlement. That is ex
actly what readjustment means-pay what we
can"
"Will your county poll full vote this fall"
"1 believe unhesiatlngly that Stafford win poll
its full vote at the November election. We don't
allow any Funder to get up and speak without
some one to reply to him We are making warm
and thorough canvass Of the entire county, and
intend to have every Readjusier at the polls on
the day Of election. My county will give the Re-
adjusters two hundred majority"
What do you hear from the adjoining countiesr'
" In King George and SpottSylvania the Read
justers are alive and active, and claim the coun.
ties by good majorics."
"What per cent Of the Republican vote will the
ReadjusteTs get in your countyg
81 think at least ninety per cent Probably
there are half dozen who live Immediately in the
ncghborhood Of General Fitz Ice who will vote
with the Funders"
:" Has General Lee much political following in
his own countyg
"well sir. think he has less than any man Of
public notoricty in the statei he has no influence
with the middle classes"
"Have the Bourbons any men OF prominence in
your county that will take the stump2'
"No, sir; they have none who has any more in
Guence with the people than adisfrancliised voter
The middle classes OF the people look OH them as
would be aristocrats"
