PRIVATE DALZELL VS. INGER SOLL. Col. Bob Ingersoll has said so many "hard things about ministers and,generally of church people of high and low degree that the GAZETTE feels warranted torturing him by reprinting a letter of that indefatigable epistolarian Private Dalzell. The Private writes to the Wit mess, a religious paper, as follows:

The great American infidel, Colonel Sob Ingersoll, at Zanesville, Ohio, •where he had lectured recently, said in the presence of Dr. Bull, Judge Frazier

money "out "of my damned folly than I ever made in all my life by more serious and useful labors."

Is this not a verification of the old Scriptural saying, "The fool hath said his heart there is no God?" I am respon •ible for the entire tfuth and accuracy of this statement.

Private Dalzkll.

•Caldwell, Ohio, January 9, 1880.

PIRACY.

The GAZETTE is gratified to learu from '*hc report of Ingersoll's lecture published in the columns of its esteemed morning contemporary for yesterday, ithat Rev

Joseph Cook lives in Terre Haute. This is the more amazing as the Indianapolis Herald for Saturday publishes an abstract of the same lecture, precisely similar to that of our cpntemp oary, and in which it would appear that Rev. Joseph Cook is a resident of that city, but for the fact that the report is ^credited to the Boston Advertiser, where

We "have understood he really lives. We feel this theft of our esteemed morning contemporary the more ^deeply, and are disposed to be harder on it because we had fully intended pirating the same report ourselves, fixing it up, however, by cutting out.many things he)said|in the Boston lecture which he did not say here, adding to it many points which were omitted, •and generally adapting if so that it would not "give us away in a word •making a model report such as adorns .and beautifies this issue of the GAZETTE.

1 GOODLOVE S. ORTHl Congressman Gocdlove Orth .made a personal explanation in the Hctose one day la6t week of his connection With the Venezuelan claim business, which, it vfilV be remembered, made his resignation of Jthe Republican candidacy for Governor -•of Indiana necessary. Next Tuesday Springer will reply. A Washington •dispatch says: }j *In his personal explanation Mr. Orth -^denies that he had any corrupt connection whatever with securing payments of awards of the Venezuelan mixed commission. The-records

Show

that he did

act in the interest of the claimants mentioned after his election as member of "the forty-third congress that he drafted a joint resolution which passed the house of representatives, with a force dause in it to compel the payment of the -awards, which clause, however, was stricken out by the senate. Th^ senate .amendment was concurred in by the house, and the joint resolution became a law of the land, declaring the award valid. For these services Mr. Orth received seven $i,ooe certificates and expense money, and they were rendered varhen be was' member-elect of the forty-

']'». W 4

third congress, in direct violation of section one of the revise* statute*, which provides that 'every member of congress who directly or indirectly takes, recieves or agrees to receive any money, property or other valuable consideration whatever after his election as such member, for his attention to, services, action, vote, or decision on any question, matter, cause or proceeding which may be pending or may be law, or under the constitution be brought before him in his official capacity, «r in his' place as such member of congress, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be imprisoned not more than two years and fined not more than $10,000. 1H.

It will also be shown that Mr. Orth, while in Washington to obtain payment on certain certificates, callSd at the state department and was asked by the assistant secretary of state to give the number of certificates and name of the person to whom they belonged. Mr. Orth said they belonged to "Thomas Brown." Orth afterward confessed that this was a man of straw and fictitious name. His purpose was to disguise the names of the real holders of the certificates. Evidence shows that the certificates, payment on which was urged by Orth, had been awarded to one of. the claimants before the commission, but had been retained by Murray, an attorney before the commission, Talmage and Stillwell, as their division of spoils, and that Orth himself possessed seven of these $1,000 certificates as compensation for }iip services

According to his own testimmy, he received part of this compensation after his election to the forty-third congress is generally believed that Mr. Orth has made a mistake in reopening this question, as all the suspicious circumstances, as well as proofs of his questionable connection with securing the payment of the unjust awards of this commission, will be fully brought out again by Mr. Springer in his personal explanation, and again paraded before the country."

TH E GRANT BOO M.

Saturday, tn Chicago, Republican primaries were held for the election of delegates to the Cook County Convention, which was held in Chicago yesterday. All the telegaaphic accounts agree in declaring to have been one of the most hotly contested political fights for many years. The Grant men came out victorious so far as a plurality of delegates went, but with less than majority.

Opposing Grant were names burns,

the

of Blaine

and Washagainst his

the latter used

last and all the time. It was not known Sunday what would be done. If Blaine and Washburne kept apart, Grant would have a "walk over." If they united they would be in a majority.

Some way or another a peace was patched up between the followers of Blaine and Washburne. Sunday, and in the convention yesterday they acted together, and not only would not give the Grant men any show at all for delegates but would not even let them speak.

The result was that the Grant men left the hall, organized another convention and proceeded to select a solid delegation of ninety Grant men to attend the conyention at Springfield. The Blaine and Washburne men selected their delegates, dividing the spoils between them.

The interesting question now is to know what will be done at Springfield concerning these contesting delegations. Excluding Cook county, the convention,' has a good working majority for Grant. It is in their power to admit the Grant delegation from Cook county. This will make the convention overwhelmingly for him and insure the forty-two votes of Illinois for him in the National convention.

The Chicago Evening News fbr yes terdav, in an editorial article, sums up the situation as follows: •""f* Mfi

#As

v~'

jit

predicted editorially, in the noon

edition of the Daily News, the shameful conddct of the Washburne and Blaine delegates, under the leadership 6f Farwell, Hesing and Med ill, compelled the withdrawal of the Grant delegates from the convention. This was expected. It could not haye been otherwise. From the moment that the convention was called to order Jt became apparent that the "boss" system in politics controlled it. Hesing and Farwell, with their band of ruffians, had determined early in the day aot only to defeat the wishes of the people as expressed at the primaries, but to use the vilest means known to political tricksters to carry out th'eir planij. The appearance ot a known Grant man on the floor of the hall was the signal for a fusillade of cat-tails, opprobrious epithets, vulgar banterings, hisses and other noises calcHlated to drown anything he might wish to say. No quarter was given by the Blaine-Washburne coalition, and the only course left open for the Grant men was to quietly withdraw from the hall. The Grant delegation left in a dignified and gentlemanly manner, assembled at the Palmer! House club-raom, and harmoniously proceeded with their business. The Convention at Farwell Hall continued in violation of all rules of deceney and politic}. The verdict of the people of Chicago,^ and of Cook county, will oe that the Grant nen have taken an honorable, straight-for-ward, and a strictly honest course in this manner and the delegation appointed the Palmer House Convention will be the only one recognized at Springfield.

The Great Orator Visits Terre Haute Again,

«3tV,

To Answer the Great Inquiry, -'What

Must

We Do

To Be Saved?"r.

A Wonderfully Eloquent Pero ration—His $100.00 Challenge.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll lecturer here again Saturday night to an audience which, though large and so appreciate as to applaud some of the utterances to the echo was yet smaller than the immense crowd he addressed on the last Sunday evening he visited Terre Haute.

He is so well known to Terre Haute audiences that he needed no introduction, and at the hour appointed walked to the front unaccompanied and commenced to speak. He apologized for having to speak for a few moments at the start on a matter personal to himself, which was always distasteful to him. It had been told that the Rev. Joseph Cook had publicly here charged him with being in favor of allowing obscene literature to pass* through the mails. This was not true, and in uttering it

Cook

wrote across the forward of his reputation the words "Liar. [ApDlause.] "I consider," said Col." Ingersoll, "that there is no crime meaner than to poison the mind6 of the young with the leprosy of lust, and challenge the world to prove that 1 have ever printed an immoral sentence. For many years obscenity and blasphemy were considered co-equal crimes and so have they long been regarded in the statutes. Acting on this and coupling of blasphemy with obscenity certain religious societies have endeavored to determine what is blasphemy, and have appealed to the Postmaster-General to stop the passage of blasphemous matter, through the mails. They even intended to stop some of my lectures. I was asked about it and replied that I was opposed to such a law, and a petition was presented to Congress asking that the iaw be either modified or repealed. I never saw the petition until a few days ago but if it had been presented to me I would have signed it. I am opposed to a postoffice clerk sitting as censor in religious lectures to determine their blasphemy I am opposed to the Postmaster General being allowed such power. No man is more in favor of a censorship over obscenity than I. -Why, under if rigid law of this kind the Bible itself could not pass through the mails. It is full of vulgar passages. I will give to any preacher in Terre Haute who will, next Sunday, read to his congregation the paragraphs I will mark. If he should read them the women would all leave, and if the men staid it would be only to chastise him for his impudence.''

The Colonel's answer to Rev. Cook on the score of obscene literature in the mails seemed perfectly satisfactory to the audience in fact, it is conclusive. The law confounding blasphemy with obscenity should be repealed. •, *7

It is always unfortunate to commence a lecture with an explanation. Col. Ingersoll naturally lost, for a time, his easy good humor, and neglected, for a few moments, his splendid sentences. He opened the lecture proper by saying that the inquiry "What must we do to be saved?" had been anxiously asked in eyery age. It was the foundation of religion. It has built cathedrals and churches has made millions and billions afraid to die has filled even the cradle with horror. It has been asked by,hypocrites thousands of times, it has been asked by those whose faces were covered with tears on whose hearts was the fiend of fear. £!e wished his audience to divest themselyes of superstition, for whoever is superstitious is not quite civilized. Superstition is the dagger with which manhood is assas sinated. As long as anybody imagines that this world |was (made for him and that there is some being who who will change the order in his account, that there is some being who will send a famine if he has not prayed enough, just so long will the world be full of fear. The world will go on just the satpe regardless of man. Fire will spare a poisoned snake as quickly jis ah innocent, dimpled babe. The rain will fall, the brooks gurgle over falls and laugh over pebbles on the way to the sea, and all nature bloom and blossom just the same if man is not. We are not of 6uch great importance after all but we ARE of too much to be the matters of fear and hypocrisy. John Wesley wrote of the cause and cure of earthquakes. The ignoramus! Do you believe that prayer could stop one. and who would undertake in such a manner to stay a famine? This idea that a lynx-eyed God is watching over us will not do. We must watch ourselves. The time will come when every man that commits murder will kill himself in his own conscience. Of what avail would the forgiveness of God be to a villa* who had polluted the fair reputation of an innocent girl with the foul leprosy of slander, if he did not make his peace with her and "with his conscience?

This idea «t' responsibility to God not to ourselves has long existed. There was once a Hebrew gentleman whorwent into a restaurant to get something to eat. He felt that the most delightful thing in the world would be-a slice of bacon. The devil told him about it. He* knew it was wrong. He was fully aware that Jehovah would -get particularly mad if he did and yet he thought that God might be taken up with something else just then, and so he ordered bacon. When he went in the sky was clear and cloudless but when he started out the heavens were overcast and the earth trembled beneath the shock of thunder. He took it for a sign of displeasure. God hadjfound him out.

""'if .. tBiF mymij tlitwK«t X'

TffW. TBKRE HAUTE WEEKLY GA^ETtB.

He went back into the restaurant white as a sheet, and, going up to the cl^rk said with flatering voice. "My God, who would have thought he would make such a fuss about a little piece of bacon?" "Ob, I have said so often" continued Mr. Ingersoll "that I do not believe God would have given wings to birds and then damned them for flying and why then, should he give a man brains and then curse him because he thinks? The piesent system of Christian religion has been in 'vogue tor a long time. It contains a system of salvation that exceeded a "Scheme." I will tell it, briefly. God made the world and a garden he made a man and a woman and put them inside and told them to eat of everything except the fruit of a forbidden tree,knowing all the time beforehand they would do it. There was plenty of room outside to have put this one tree where it would have been safe.

But you know God's ways are not our ways, according to this scheme they are wiser. If I didn't want people to eat my apples I wouldn't shut them up with the trees (laughter). Of course they ate the fruit. God knew they would all along. They were turned out and cursed. The best they could do with a first child was a murder. They went from bad to worse until God had to drown all but eight. This is the plan of the scheme and this is the infinite godness they would have us worship. Isn't that sort of deity, who had to drown his own children, a pretty fellow to tell me how to raise mine? He made a mistake saving any for they never improved at all. He chose a race—the Hebrews— among them and (according to this scheme) lavished all his time on them. They killed and made slaves of other people as they wished and, although his long kindness protected them they endured all manner of cruelty and oppression themselves. He gave them a government and laws which I challenge the world to equal in absurdity and infamy. They had the closest and minutest instructions but tl\ey didn't thrive and when his own son came among them they crucified him and there they were thrown overboard and when the Christians ceased to meanly and cruelly persecute them they commenced to prosper for the first time, and to-day have fewer paupers in their numbers, "have more to eat apd wear of the good things of life than any other race and yet, by the scheme, they are cursed.

Col. Ingersoll then took up the New Testament and said he would prove from four witnesses against one that the "scheme" so far as persons being damned for lack of faith is concerned, was doctored up afterward to suit the designs of intriguing priests Christ's doctrine had some of this. Chrst was in his time a reformer and that is why they crucified him. Christ said some splendid things. Col. Ingersoll said he had no doubt if-he should return to earth to-day they would be the best of friends.

St. Matthew, who was with Christ for three years, records this conversation as genuine in chapter XIX "And, behold one came and said unto him, good master, what good thing 6hall I do that I may how lifulLL thou me good. There is none good but one)that£is God, but if thou wilt enterjinto life, keep the commandments."

He saith unto Mm which? Jesus said thou 6halt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shAlt not bear false witness.

Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt leve thy neighbor as thyself." Here is a direct answer to an im portant question? Is there anything about creeds? No about faith? No about baptism? No about keeping Sunday? No Now there is in direct contradiction to this a so-called last statement by Christ which Mark records. He says: "And he said unto them, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned." Afatthew, Luke and John were all present at this time. They were often recording such statement as this. They either forgot it or didn't believe it, or it was never made. There io no sentence in the Bible more pregnant to all on earth with awful meaning than this. It is an infamous thing it lias shackled thought and made men cowards.

The Col. told the story of Zaccheua, the fellow that climbed the tree. Zaccheus said: "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation I restore him four fold."

And Jesus said unto him: "This day is salvation come to this house." Nothing about faith was there? Zaccheus made no avowal of what he believed, vet he was promised salvatisn. The Sermon on the Mount Col. Ingersoll thought was splendid. "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy." This is a glorious truth. The gospel of Christ was one of deeds and duty but the scheme that was bifilt up or interpolated for ages in exact contradiction to Christ's sentiment, what a bloody wound of creed and cruelty. Their interpolations were put in as they were needed. The outrageous command to forsake father and mother and sister

and

brother, founded asceticism and was a hateful thing. What an inducement for salvation. Hfere is a man in! heaven who won the place by deserting his darling babios, or his weeping Wife. He should bear on his head the brandy "Mfe deserter." This little, puny, shrivelled soul isn't worth saving.

The lecturer next took up the dogma of the trinity and then spoke 1 of a tria published by one Furniss to comfort the poor. The unfortunate, $)u know heed consolation. He read three or four accounts of children and others standing in torture on a red-hot pavement or in burning ovens. A sweet Comfort, indeed! This infamy has strengthened the hold of churches in all time by the fear of victims. In fact the devil is at the bottom of all the old theology' for, no devil no hell no hell no atonement no atonement, no preach .no preach, no, pay. Why, if the devil died to-morrow the Christian "scheme" would be an orphan and all the preachers would seem as pall bearers. And why. did God make the devil and allow him to be ~a successfill sival? According to the system he might kill him, and yet he allows him to rule eyery large eity and the country.

The lecturer next took up the churches. He quoted the words "Blessed are the peacemakers." Oh, how the churches do love eaih other. How kindly the Episcopalians speak ot the Baptists, the Baptists of the Catholics and so around. Methodists, said th% leturer, did more preaching for. less money than any other denomination. They started out plain and simple didn't even allow the men and women to sit toether but they have learned that a man can go to church and sit with the wife and children he loves and feel just as devout as if he were sandwiched in between two other men he didn't know. The Presbyterians he liked least of all. The doctrine of original sin he esteemed odious. The Episcopal church, he said, was the best of all. This denomination had early sense to tolerate music, to necourage paints and architecture and science, to allow card playing and dancing and other innocent amusements. Oh but what a fuss old Jno. Calvin and no. KNOX made about card playing. Thesa men hated a ripping laugh. They visited each other once and it was like

PESTILENCE GOING TO SEE A FAMINE

They taught that God's wrath woul. surelybe wreaked upon those who danced or played cards. If a pircel of chubbyd little boys stole off into the hay mow to play "seven up" the great God was pictured in a storm of passion whetting heaven's swords to cut the tile offenders peices. The Episcopal chutch has the least religion in it. (Frowns on the part of Episcopalians present.)

The peroration was the most brilliant ever delivered in Terre Haute. It was It was a marvel of word-weaving and it is regretted seriously that space does not permit our short hand report of the splendid flight of writing. The Colonel believes that happiness is the only good reason the only torch, justice the only worshiper, humanity the only religion and love the only priest. The gospel is the gospel of health and cheerfutness. God could not afford to damn a man who was kind, affectionate, true to himself, to his fellow man and to his country even if he believed not a word of this earth-made creeds. The Col. thought we should pay more attention to the present eat better food, study more and more care fully the laws of health. He hoped the time would come when it would be con sidered a crime for a man to perpetuate in his children the deformities of his own person or the result of his own indiscretions and folly.

He would not take from any soul the hope of immortality. It is the archorage of love and it originated with loving hearts. If, however, .hell is necessary in order to have heaven he fo^one would be willing to let both go.

The imminence of rain cut the lecture shorter than it would otherwise have been. It was listened to with marked attention.

HOGS—Receipts, 5460 head shipments, 1, 980 head. A strong and heavy market again to-day, with an advance over yesterday's prices. Receipts were more liberal thau the day previous, with fair quality, but the sapply is sttll short of the demand. The sales to-day were remarkable quick, as the pens we^e closed by 10 o'clock, packers being the principal buyers, and have been unable for several days to get their fall complement. It is a noticeable fact, taking the Chicago Drover's Journal ior a guide, as general thing, that light packing are higher
