TILE CITY. MISTAKES OF DARWOOD.

TKIIRK IIAI TE, Intl., May 10, 1880. KIMTOII KVENINONKWS—In the Issue of the 9th inat., your paper contained the announcement of a Iccture upon "The Mistake# of Ingersoll." I attended tliis lecture, and, tut you seem to be desirous of giving everybody tin equal chance, if you will allow me the space I would like to my a few words to the gentleman who delivered it.

MH. McK. DAHWOOD:—In the first of your lectures upon the "Mistakes of Ingersoll," delivered Sunday evening, you stated thatwould notice but two mistakes during that evening, but unless you Increased the number per evening It would lake you six months to finish them. Now, if the two "mistakes" area fair sample of the lot, it is unnecessary for you to give even one more lecture to complete the list, for those two are your mistakes, not Col, Ingersoll's. You said the first mislake was the denial of a Creator and Supreme Huler of the universe. I do not think you can find, anywhere, that Col. Ingersoll has ever made such a denial. Ingersoll merely denies the one God of the Jews and the three-one God of the Christians. Il«* denies the existence of a God who would fill the world with good things and then condemn It a God who would condemn a man and his posterity for disobedience. when that man was ignorant of good and evil, or did no tknow it was wrong to disomy a God who pronounced all things good, when there was a serpent which was not good a God who made day and night'before Uteri! was such a thing as a solar system a God who made something front nothing, who lived before there was any universe, any space, or, in fact anything a God who made the moon to shine, by night, but lias tangled the or rangement so that itjshines only half the night a God who made stars to shine upon the earth. but placed them so far away, that their light can never reach the earth a God out of whose mouth there went ft sharp, two edged sword (Uev. i.. 16) out of whose nostrils there went smoke, and out of whose mouth went fire, from which coal* were lighted (2 Sam. XXII.. 9) a God who had horns coming out of his hand (Hah. tu.. 4) a God who shouts in a drunken debauch (Psahns ijtxvut., 65) a God who slew without pity, because he WHS angry (Bom. tti.» 48) a God who burns with anger whose Hps are full of indignation and whose tongue is a devouring ftra (Isaiah xxx., s?7) a God who gnro the command to "spare thettn not, but destroy both men and beasts, infant and suckling"* (1 Sam, rv., 8) a God who ame to tbe earth to dk that many should W called* but few should be chosen: a «H1 who could not drive tmt tike inhabi tant* of the voltey becaow ol a lew paltrr charlota (Judges l., 19) a God who came not to bring peach into the world, but a swonl and I might go on and name a score of oilier derogatory to Christina it* jtributes of thll The Bible Is the wur#t kind of lii»fl against an omnipotent* *nm»^sm*ent. infinite and allwfoe God. Col nffpvmM says he knows nothing of God. No Christian can truthfully R*y more than this about the vuac Being Infersoll says

God has no such a character as the Bible gives him, because such attributes would destroy bis infimteness and wisdom. You say God has this character, because same antiquated fossil of a mythical ante diluvian age has said so.

You sold the universe may hare existed a million years- Your Bible say* it has existed not quite six thousand years. Which shall we believe? You say there pre stars so far away that above 12,000 years (if I understood you correctly and if not, pardon the error would be re quired for their light to reach the earth. If the world has existed but 6,000 years their light Is only half-way here. Now, how do you know the stars exist, and the rays of light are coming? Is it prophecy?

Yo say the best scientists work on the rule that "a demand denotes the existence of a supply or, as you stated it, where there is a demand a supply will be created, I should like to know a true scientist who works .by that rule. Every student of nature has observed that "Necessity is the mother of invention," or we utilize what we have at hand. The supply exists before, and creates, the demand. Sight existed be fore eyes, sound before ears, fragrance before noses, food before mouths, I think you would tind it difficult to make the famishing Irishman, or starving wor shipper of Joss, believe that hunger always brought food. Men do not use what is I test adapted to their wants so muck us the urn that with which they are IR-SI supplied.

In your second criticism you state that Ingersoll did not, that he dare not. reply to Joseph Cook's changes about a certain petition to Congress, I will* give you a chance to show yourself to be honest in your efforts, and allow you to correct this statement. Ingersoll did reply, and Cook still "bears" across the forehead of his reputation, "Liar." You read a letter from Anthony Cornstock concerning a petition to Congress for a repeal of obscene laws. If you desire it, I can demonstrate to any fair minded person that Anthony Coinstock is ten times more debased and defiled than has ev£r been charged against Ingersoll. I can demonstrate that I). M. Bennett, editor of the New York Truth Seeker, was a victim to christian bigotry. I am the last man, perhaps, that would wish to lay before decent people the deeds of Anthony Comstock, so-called agent of the society for the prevention of vice, but if you insist I can give you truthful charges that will bring the crimson blush of shame to the cheek of every citizen loyal to himself and his race.

You intimate that Ingersoll was a de serter in the lat war. I will grant that it was ignorance that prompted that tirade against Ingersoll's character as a soldfer. Ingersoll resigned honorably, after the battle of Shiloh, and the charge that he "deserted," if intentionally made, is a malicious falsehood. Ingersoll would scorn to abuse the military record of a man who boro upon his face the mark of a ruthless messenger of death, borne upon the winds of battle a silent reminder of the horrors and dangers of war, and of the patriotism of the matt who bears it.

You said Ingersoll would die like a dog and be buried like a jackass. When Inger soli dies, a million men, women and cldldren will feel a sadness in their hearts as they mourn their loss, and with the return of each spring-time, every hill and dale, from the sunny South to the cold. bleak*North every woodland, field and lawn, from the restless billows of the At lantlc to the placid waters of the Pacific, will be filled with the aromatic fragrance of the flowers that have been planted to the memory of this noble, generous and warm-hearted man. Respectfully, yours,

GEO. P. BISSKLI/8 DEATH TRAP.

The manag«rs or agent of the Opera Mouse have not yet taken any steps to comply with the laws of the city. The committee appointed by the Council to examine the Opera House did so four yeara ago and reported it unsafe, and directed how it should be changed.

That committee consisted of Messrs. 11agvr. Carter and Mohan. Three better, more respectable and intelligent met) never occupied scats in the Council. They after a careful examination pronounced it unsafe and dangerous incase of fire. The Council believed their report true, and upon it passed an ordinance in relation thereto making it unlawful for the Opera House to be used without the owner or his agent first filing a certificate with the City Clerk from the committee on public buildings showing that it was safe in case of fire. Thc'owncr nor agent has never filed the required certificate with the Clerk.

On the contrary, thb law has been violated day after day for four years. This Is one of the most important ordinances ever passed by the council yet It Is treated with contempt. If a poor devil gets drunk, he is immediately arrested and tried for being "drank and disorderly." But the owners and agents of thb death trap are new molested. Why this distinction? Is George P. BhneU, or the Insurance Co. that owns this hole, or his or their agent here any more right* and exemptions from the law* than any body

else? If so, we want to know it Is It because they are rich? Hie Erpreu says the talk about the Opera house being dangerous, is all "bosh."

Then the report of Luther ilager, Mr. Carter and Mr. Mohan was all "bosh." The public don't believe it. Their character and standing in this city and wherever they are known, precludes such an idea. What bad motives actuated these three gentlemen when they made that report? No one will believe that they had any other motive than to protect and benefit the public.

That is the motive which now actuates the NEWS in its endeavors to have the laws enforced, and, to have that done, we again call the attention of the city attorney to this matter. James M. Allen is the city attorney. He is the ablest and most learned attorney the city has ever had. He is honest, upright and honorable. There is no man who desires more than Mr. Allen to sse all the laws equally enforced—enforced against the rich aud powerful the same as against the poor and weak. This fact gives assurance to the public that the ordinance will be enforced that the Opera house will be changed, so that in case of fire hundreds aud thousands will not be burned to death. That wholesale murder will not be committed by the owners of this building. the small sum of $800 or $s00 will make it safe. The people will not submit to fire and flame and death to save them a few hundred dollars. We want no "Hole of Calcutta" in Terre Haute.

Burlington Ilawkeye.

The Monroe doctrine simply means that we are the bull of the woods between the two oceans, and that the man who joins farms with us on either side had better not move the boundaiy fence «until he talks to us about it, aud that he can't sublet a patch of his farm to anybody until we are satisfied that the new tenant will make a good neighbor for us. That's about ail there is of it.
