theory Of the opposition for some time
past. but it was not supposed that his
excellency would openly fall in with
the strongest argument Of the anti.oom.

to Ordway the time has not yet arrived

THE DISTRICT MILITARY.
Proposed Consolidation OF the Various
Volunteer Companies into a Regiment.

Volunteer Companies into a Regiment.
1t is stated upon what appears to be good au-
thority that a movement is on foot 10 con-
solidate all the district volunteer companies
into one or two regiments of militia, and that
tho President will in day or two issue an
order TO that effect. The object for this action
is seven fold. II will in the first place avoid
the uncertainty which now exists as to who
is the commanding officer Of the district
militia. Gen. Peter Il. Bacon received his
commission as brigadier general from Presi-
dent Buchanan, and Gen. Amos Webster was
commissioned as adjutant general and COM
mander of the district militia by Gov Cooke.
Then again, as many members of the different
volunteer companies are employed in tho de-
partments, all tho time spont into parade or
display during office hours is charged against
them. With consolidation in an organized
militia such time would not be so charged.
Militia organization would give q compact,
we'll drilled body Of mon, instead of a
dozen different companies, as at present.
There is no doubt of the truth of tho state
ment that the order directing such consolida-
tion is already written. IL awaits the return
of Adit, Gen. Drum before being issued.
Great dissatisfaction at the proposed change
EXISTS among tho volunteers. Tho National
Rifles at their last meeting determined that
in the event of the order being issued they will
enter protest to tho secretary of war against
being included in its terms.
Tho volunteer companies at present in the
district are the Washington Light Infantry,
the Veteran Corps, the Washington Light
Guards, the Washington Artillery-white or
CARNATIONS; and the Capital City Guards, tho
Butler Zouaves tho Washington Rifles, and
tho Washington Cadets--colored companies.

gersollIsm,

The lecture of Mr. Theodore G. Cone, of

lig on, Science, and lngersollism" was pre-.
ser ted TO an intelligent audience with a force
oflogic and common sense view Of tho mat
ter that were very effective. He dschimed
any scientific requirements, but profeaed tho
ability to comprehend their arguments and
follow their speculations. As man Of tho
world, secure in his own opinions but per-
fcctly willing TO allow others the liberty he
claimed for himself he sought 10 show tho
absurditios Of scientific reasoning when IL
LEFT the truo domain of science and entered
fields whose worry nature forbade rs trespass.
He showed oonclusively that the problem Of
problems, the origin Of life, wastotally un-
solrcd by the scientists but in seeking 10
solve IL they abandoned science, accepted
larger and wider faith than the Christian
hell, and advanced as truth prodigious
miracle which they confessed was both un-
reasonable and unprovahlc, but must be ac-
copied by faith alone, They deny to others
tho exercise of that faith they un-
hestatingly hold themselves whenever
it suits their purpose He reviewed
the position of Col. IngersolI calmly,
lucdly, and dispassionately; gave him ample
credit for his raro personals qualities and his
suparb oratory, but exposed his inconsistl n
cies, and showed his feebloness of logic and
his utter lack of argument. He deprecated
the vastnoss of the moral injury he was
working especially among the young, and
lanented that his own great gift of oratory
sholld back cause indeieasible even by the
ablcst, but vastly too great for him.
