tury Club for ithis season, which took piece
last evening in the concert room of the
Metropolitan Opera House, was largely at
tended and most entertaining. Courtlandt
1‘almer presided. “The Limits of Tolera
tion” 'Was the subject, and the speakers
were Col. Hubert G. Jntersoil, as the rep
resentative of the freethinkers or agnostics;
Frederick R. Coudert, as the representative
of the Roman Catholics, and General
Btewart L. Woodford, as the representative
of the Protestants.
Colonel Ingcr-oll opened and closed the
debate Mr. Coudert, who had taken the
J ilace at short notice of Mr. Kernan, fol-
owed, and General Woodford spoke third.
Mr. Coudert’* sarcasm and
Colonel Ingersoil’s wit struck sparks
which kindled responsive emo
tions in the breasts of their hearers, and
the hursts of applause were loud and fre
quent. Eveu Mr. Palmer did not escape
their thrusts, and in one uf his introduc
tions he took pains to explain away the
Btaten ent made in his introduction of Col.
Ingersoil, in which he alluded to the
French Pantheon, in which Voltaire,
Rousseau and Hguo had niches, and in
eulogy of Col. Ingersoil said that if he had
been born in France the trio would he en
larged into a quartette. Having been thus
introduced, Col. IrgersollsaiJ:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I
appear here to-night for the pi rpose of de
fending your right to differ wall me. I
I want to convince you that you are under
no compunction to accept my creed, but
are free to follow your own belief under
the light of the torch of your conscience.
And 1 claim th#same right for myself.
Has man the right to them? It will
bear little discussion; for no man can con
trol his tliought. If wc could we would-
stop thinking. Has the will any power
over tliought? No. Thought is the re
sult of the outer world upon the senses;
the picture upon the brain of the outer
world produces thought, and as long as
the doors of the brain are open it will
think. Whoever looks upon the earth or
upon the face of a fellow man thinks, and
the thought will depend upon your brain,
your experience, your education. No two
hairs arc alike. No two lives have or ever
will be the same. Nature cannot produce
the same effect upon any two brains or any
two hearts. Had our thoughts been ex
actly alike wewould have stopped think
ing. The desire to express thought has
given us language, libraries, art. It has
chiseled every statue, written every book.
I believe that no man is happy who is
not good. I do not say that there is no
God, but, whether there is or is not an in
finite God, no man is accountable for his
thought. I have the same right to express
myself in my thoughts as the rest of the
world has to express itself to me. This
liberty of thought and expression is of
more value than any other thing beneath
the stars. It is more valuable than any
religion, than any government. Take that
word liberty out of mere language, and
there is nothing worth living for in the
world. It is my experience thatthebigger
a man is the more charitable he is. If
there he a heaven or infinite being he must
have a thousand times more charity than
a human lieing. Is it possible that" he is
going to hold his ignorant children re
sponsible for tho thoughts produced upon
them by nature? No.
‘ 11 said in the Htsil, I
He is conditionless You cannot hurt
him; you cannot help him. All his duties
lie yet here. Give to all others the rights
you claim for yourself. Tell your honest
thought. The waj to be happy is to try
to make everybody else so. That is the
sum and substance of my religion.
VOORBKES AFTER THE RATTLE.
A Letter to a Friend In Wlilcli He Speak*
His Mind.
Washington, May 7.—Hon. Maurice
Thompson, Crawfordsvillc, . Ind.: My
Hear Friend—Your esteemed favor of the
2d inst. has just been opened and carefully
read. I have been quiie ill and confined
to my room for the last three ‘or four days,
and have not kept up with my mall as
closely as 1 would have done under other
circumstances. This will account for the
fact that my answer has not been more
prompt ana immediate.
In the first place, please" accept the
thanks of a greateful heart for your kind
and careful appreciation of my contest in
the Senate, at seems that a new phase of
partisan bitterness and falsehood has been
assumed toward the Democratic party, and
that, however eminent may have been the
services of a soldier or a civilian
in behalf of the Union, he is to
be denounced as disloyal if he voted the
Democratic ticket. I am sure none of my
friends in Indiana will expect me to sit
silently by while such accusations are
made." My speech of April 25 was not
only an absolutely truthful expression of
my feeling, but it was one of the most
natural, in what 1 said in regard to
McClellan and in vindication of Hancock
I was simply defending and Indicating the
honor and patriotism of the Democratic
party, which cast its votes for these two
distinguished Union Generals in 1864 and
1880. I felt that I was performing not
only a patriotic but a pious duty toward
men whom J knew to lie inspired by the
loftiest devotion to their country. To be
arraigned and assailed for my defense of
the Democratic party and of its candidates
for the Presidency, 1 esteem an honor, es
pecially when its comes from the scurril
ous, cowardly home guard from Kansas.
1 am thoroughly at peace with myself on
this subject. I am willing to live or die
on the report of the Senate proceedings
contained in the Congressional _ Record of
May 2. I made no revision; did not even
see the reporter’s notes after I had spoken,
and let my words go to the world just as
they fell from my lips. They appeared
the next morning after the debate. The
two hours’ speech made by the Kansas
ruffian has not yet appeared in the Con
gressional Record. Why it is withheld I
do not know, but might conjecture.
Enough of this, however, until I meet
you and the brave and generous Democ
racy of the State, who know me and know
whether I have been true or fa.se to my
party, to the soldiers, to the people gener
ally.
Passing from my concerns here, I have
noted with great care that part of your let
ter which relates to harmony and success,
personally and politically, in Indiana. 1
thank you fer the tone of true and faithful
friendship which pervades what you say.
I respond to it in tlic same spirit. I shall
go to the national convention at St. Louis
to carry out the expressed wishes of the

Itrumm, also of Pennsylvania, the other
day. That able greenback labor dema
gogue had, in the absence of Mr. Scoit,
made a sjn-ech iu which he had personally
insulted that gentleman. He spoke of
Pennsylvania’s chief tariff reformer in
very "abusive terms. Scott laid that
Hrumm'a course was -cowardly. No one
but a coward would attack a man when
he was absent. “What lie said about me,”
declared Mr. Scott, “was false—as false as
hell.”
“I’ll prove it,” said Rrumm. but he said
it not half so bravely as lie had made his
original accusation.
“You will not have to,” said the now
very angry Mr. Scott. “I am going to cite
you before the bar of the House and make
you .prove it or move your e
Bruuim said nothing in reply. He was
called a liar the other day by Lloyd 8.
Brice, of New York. He is probably in
ured to such characterizations. He just

'without the reason given. I am going to
act out, as I understand it, my nature
without the right to interfere with any

in freedom of thought and speech than in
all things else. I remember that the ene

cursed the world with blood and suffused
millions of cheeks with tears. It' killed
every philosophy it could lay its hands on.
Therefore I am’ for absolute liberty of
thought in every realm, domain, and de

Mr, Coudert replied.
Carlyle once said, when he heard that
somebody had written a comic history of
England: “A comic history of England 1
Why, soniebud* will next write a comic
history of the bible I” I think we have
heard the first chapter of that history to
night. 1 was in doubt all through
Colonel Ingersoil’s speech whether
we were in a Christian assemblage of the
nineteenth century or an Ingersollian of
the twenty-third. Our worthy President,
in referring to the Pantheon,
at Paris, said that it con
tained Voltaire, Rousseau aud Hugo,
and dught to contain Ingersoil. Perhaps,
If be meant by that that he ought soon to
be annihilated, I, perhaps, might agree
with him. I am not going to be personal—
this discussion rircs above the realms of
personalities. I do not think that Colonel
Ingersoil is entitled to a niche in tho Pan
theon which contains Voltaire, Rousseau
aud Hugo. Voltaire wrote and did great
things; so did Rousseau, although he was
a madman; and Hugo is the Shakespeare
of the nineteenth century. All these men
huiit up something. Wbat has Colonel
Ingersoil built up?
Colonel Ingersoil’s speech was but sn cl-
oquent apology for blasphemy. All civil
ized States have passed laws against blas
phemy. The best men have insisted aud
maintained that the Christian faith was
the ligament which keeps society together.
Don’t* like Samson, pull the building down
over yourself in one universal ruin.
WhrprHi lihcrtr of speech U incompatible
with the safety "of the State it must cease.
The safety of the State is the supreme law.
When the State is in danger I call upon,
not the good men to rally to its succor—
they are too few—bat upon the good wo
men, who are millions in number. And
they will not fail to do so.
As a Protestant General Woodfotd re
joined :
To me, in my Protestant stand|M>int, the
fatal logical error in Col. Ingersnll’i propo
sition is his definition of thought. Will
power and reason and memory are factors
in thought. It is not merely the bare re
sult of impressions of the senses in the
brain. My senses leave on my mind an
impression, and then my mind, out of that
impression, works good or evil. There is
responsibility on me If there is not. then
is the world mere chance. I understand
this to lie the Protestant theory: That man
may think for himself, but he is responsi
ble for it. He can speak his thought so
long as he does not hurt his neighbor. He
is accountable to God for all he does, all
he UTs. all he thinks.
Col. Ingersoil, in closing the debate, said;
I am glad that 1 have made a Ca'holic
like Mr. Condert pay a compliment to
Voltaire, simply that be might make a
point at my expense—Nollaire, who bad
struck a mortal, blow with his dagger at
Catholicism and hounded it so tiist it

Wuhtagtoa Special to Courier-Journal.
There were lively times in the House to
day. Bussell, of Massachusetts, who is a
farmer himself and a raiser of sheep, made
a speech in which ke demonstrated that no
duty was needed on wool. He ajjo pro
duced a letter troin a carpet compwny, of
Lowell, Mass., which recently failed. The
failure had been attributed by the protec
tionists to the Mills bi 1. The letter which
Mr. Russell produced stated that the fail
ure was really due to the duty on a grade
of wool not grown iu this country, but
which is used in the manufacture
of carpets. As soon as the
Mills bill became a law, said Mr. Russell's
correspondent, the company of which he
was treasurer would resume work. Mr.
Russell had made many good points up to
this, and bad been frequently applauded.
The Republicans now resorted to their old
tactics. Thev put forward etout-l'mged
Perkins, of Kansas, an.l tried to howl
Russell down. Hubbub followed. The
boisterous interruptions were only stopped
by the appeal of Mr. Mills to the Repaid!
cans that they in honor keep the agree
ment that no speaker on either side should
be interrupted without his consent. Mr.
Rnssell was then allowed to finish.
The hottest part of the day came on sev
eral hours later, and the word falsehood
took a prominent part. Dalzell, of Penn
sylvania, delivered a tirade against Repre
sentative Scott, of the same State, review
ing the recent speech of the latter gentle
man. Mr. Scott replied very warmly.
His voice, usually a low one, now raug
through the chamber. Dalzell had spoken
