THE DAIIA WENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 18CG. the time in doing; nothing, and that In the worst yoRsible manner. The usual expenditures had been made, and that wag about all. The war had sadly luterlcred with the operations of the committees, by scattering thuir membership. Hut he considered the present state ol the pub lic mind highly lavorable to the creation of a Jibcral sentiment. All that la nccefnary is the crystallization ot this Fen'Jraeut. Wo want a ??ood business man and lecturer to travel the country and oTgunizc. He had been in corres pondence with au EntrUaliinun and a(iormaD, with the view of ennaitinf? their services. But llic German finally coneluaod that he could not ppeak English plainly enough, and the Knglish man had accidentiuy become a spiritualist. Infidels ShouM- be Frlcudly to Each Other. Mr. Mendn then stated his belief that every one present should make it his duty to intro duce himself to all the others. To a Convention held In New York a tew years ago, a friend had come all the wny from Ohio; but returned dis puted with the Convention aud with infidels in pcneral. because he knew nobody and nobody Jcnew him. Organization the Orent Dctilcleratum of Infidelity. Mr. Mendcn then adverted to the vast Import since ol an organization, believing that the scat tered forces of lufidols throughout the United Mutes could by tins means regenerate this pnest-ridden, bigoted, puriUuiciil, hypocritical world, and set all mankind at liberty. A tew jnen In Massachusetts, knowing' no such word as defeat, went to work at abolition In 181(0, and now slavery Is abolished. If every iutldel ihiougliout the country would pive even fifty cents a year, it would enable them to bear the cxpciihcs of a public lecturer. Ho then read a couple of letters bearing on this subject. Oue of these, from Terre Haute, Indiana, stated that that place waa pretty well blessed with infi delity, only one m fifteen trading at the gospel Fhop. A New Plymouth Rock Discovered. Mr. Warner, of Boston, a sharp-featured, black-haired gentlemen, who was gutcd with a very spreading style of oratory, said he thought the unpopularity of their belief should not dis courage them. "Superstition and false theology have cramped the minds of the people, and delivered them over to the priesthood. But we should go lorward with the hope of final success. So long as he li ad betore him the sup port of that new Plymouth Hock, Horace Soavor, iie could labor in earnest, aud would accomplish his end or die. (Cheers.) The RlKhteoutmeas of Infidelity. Mr. Seavor, the objeet ot this flattery, re f ponded, regretting, for the sale of tne audience, that he was severely afflicted with a cold. He would be delighted it ha had such lungs as Urothcr Warner, aud the cause would prosper if there were m Us ranks live hundred such earnest and effective laborers. They would not then be open to the reproach of bein,r disciples of manerly inactivity. They had, however, the satisfaction of knowing that their cause is right smd jutt. A distinguished warrior once said that where there were the fewer advocates ot a cause, each one's share ot honor was all the preater, and a disappointed politician had de clared that it is better to be right than to be popular. He thought their cause was founded jn reason and justice, aud was amply satisfied with coming so far ironi home to find nitnselt in the presence of an audience ot intelligent, Inde pendent, and liberal-minded porsons in favor of the cause of reason, liberty, and humanity. (Cheers.) Ctuallflcatlona of Members Aalu Dla- CUMHCd. Tbe Chairman again called the attention of Ihe Convention to the necessity of permitting none but infidels to take part in its delibera tions. The Secretary thereupon moved that all perrons present who harmonized with the Convention and the object they had in view, bu permitted to participate in its proceeding. This motion was followed by a lengthy discussion, in which several gentlemen participated. Mr. Thorn was particularly in favor ot per mitting anybody and everybody to take part, hoping, as he did, that some Christian would present hiniBclfaud bis arguments, to give them a chauce to combat them. If he could get a fair hearing in the churches, he could soon upset Christianity. He entertained no fear of in fidelity being put down by discussion. But the priesthood was too wise, too cautious, too cuu jiing to engage in this discussion. Having iound it thus difficult to engage Christians in disoussion at infidel mcetiugs, he favored the plan of joining Jyceums and making a t'ujs in them generally. Many persons who did not like to be seen at a regular infidel meeting, would gladly go to such a place on purpose to hear infidel doctrine. The Secretary stated that he was an advocate of the most unlimited freedom ot speech, but as this Convention was called tor a particular pur pose, he was opposed to permuting everybody to participate. Some men could talk about nothing but politics, and if they once got started here, the object of the Convention would be defeated. Let us talk to the purpose. We want a central organization. Let us have oue and keen it. Alter that we can call a convention for iree speech, and invite all the priests in Christendom to attend. The Sticking: Point. Mr. Menden then obtained the floor, ana stated that the representatives of several orga nizations in different parts of the country were present, and he would like to hear what progress they had to report. He would also like to inquire if these organizations could not contri bute something towards the support of a public lecturer. To do this seemed to be the sticking point. A man of talents U needed, but not such a one as Joseph Barker, who got all the money out of us he could, and then turned Cnnstiau. (Cheers.) Mr. Menden then proceeded to narrate A Little Incident that occurred in his ollice not long since, to the following etlect: Two gentlemen entered Mr. Menden's office, when this colloquy took placet Mr Menden I think we ought to have a cen tral organization, to support a lecturer. First Gentleman Well said, but you can't do it. Mr. Menden Why not? What is the reason ? First Oentleraan For the lack of organization. Mr. Menden I will ftake my head against a foot-ball, and that is not worth much (whether it was the bead or tbe foot-ball that was of such Jittlo value Mr. Menden neglected to state), that it the truth could be arrived at, the Churcu gels more that half its support lrom men who are infideld at heart, who despise the Church organi sation, and know and feel the rottenness of re ligion. (Applause.) Mr. Menden permitted the applause to lead him lrom the track ot his story so f ir as to say that he never attempted to disguise his senti ments, and that he knew, as they all knew, that religion was rottenness, and nothing else. (Ap plause. ) Infidelity Support, Religion. The colloquy in Mr. Menden's ollice is then rnn tinned: Mr. Menden How much do you pay to sup port infidelity, and how much to support reli- rnn 1 ' First Gentleman I subscribe five dollars a year to the Boston Investigator, and pay forty slnltura a unur Iir10 rent. ( All)lilUSe.1 Second Gentleman-! do worse than that; I mihscrihe three dollars aud a half to the Boston Jnvestiqator, and pay fifty dollars a year to sup port an episcopal cnurcu. Kvll Teaching of Sunday School. This terminated the "little Incident," and Mr, Menden resumed: I have no doubt it Is tne same all over tho country. Some of our friends .ri tend their children to Sundav Bchool f sen nation), and when thev crow up thoy have learned to despise the truths their fathers hold, and try to inculcate in them. Infidels Smoke, aud Chew, and Drink Imager Beer. . Mr. Menden then proposed that a contribution of fifty cents per annum o levied on every infi del in tue country, siauei? ins uenet mat niuu ten hs of them wasted much more than that on tobacco every week. A Voice Aud many ol them anuk lager beer, (Laughter.) Mr. Menden I hold that the use of tobacco to the foundation of all other flees. Tobacco itself is almost as bad as religion, Ingrate Christian. Mr. Thorn We have come here, many of us at considerable expense, to organize an Infidel meeting. I understand the motion to bu simply to extend our courtesy to all present who favor such an iufidel organization, and that it is not lor the purpose ot pleasing ingrate Christians, who ninv come here for the purpose of com menting on our views. (Cheers.) Mr. Seavor sustained this proposition by saying that no one present had any deslra to please Christians. He thought an infidel had no business in a Chri-tiim convention, and hy the same rule no Christian had any business In an intidel gathering. Mr. Menden did not believe there was a single Christian present, but at the time he spoke his back was turned townrds our reporter. At this point the debate was closed by the previous question being demanded. Several persons still made an attempt to speak, when some one said he hoped that infidels would not set the churches a bad example. The motion to invite all who sympathized with the objects of the Convention to participate In its delibera tions was then passed, with but one dissenting vote. A rtllltarlan. Ten minutes were then allowed the repre sentatives of different organizations present to report their progress, with the provision that no oue was to speak mo.e than twice. Under this ruliinr, a gentleman gave a history ol a soeiet.y in Philadelphia which met every Sunday to d'scussnll qtiet-tiona which pertained to the welfare ol the human race. Tni society was termed " Utililariau," aud loiind great strength in this very title, as many would attend its meetings who would not go near a regular infidel rneetina. For his purt. he considered opposition to Christianity as alto gether too narrow a piattorm. He thought that Christianity was on'? one of the crying evils which ojfticti'd humanity. He wanted the name ot the "intidel Association of America" changed to "Utilitarian." John ()-v-e-u. About this time an eldcrlv gentleman, closely muffled in a snutl'-colored overcoat, watci.ed his opportunity, and gaining the floor, desired to know of the Chair if he could be permitted to say a lew words. The Chairman evidently had a suspicion that there was something wrong and aked the gen tleman's name. "Owen," was the resnonse. The Chair What is it ? Mr. Owen 0cn; John O-w-e-n John Owen. There being no objection, Mr. O-w-e-n pro ceeded as follows My Honorable Friends, and my Honorable Mr. Chairman: 1 heurd this gentlemau, nut I could not understand what he t-aid. No doubt a great many understood him. but I did not. I am an inn ci el. I am an intidel myself. Why am I au infidel? I will tell you here why I am an in tidel. I will answer the question myself. Infidel signifies Infidelity, but to a church, and not to your dear wife. iNow is your wife a church, or is a church your wife? No doubt gentlemen have been entertained by this familiar conver sation, whether they are 'gentlemen or not; bat I appeal to you as a'maa. Iulidel springs from infidelity. The idea that Mr. Owen's speech was a little mixed had become quite general by tui9 time, and his laht brilliant statemeut brought outseve ral cries of "order." Mr. O-w-e-n Excuse me, gentlemen, but you've got to hear me ! The Chair We are now listening to reports from persons here belonging to different organi zations throughout the country. Mr. O-w-e-n In other words, then, I am an intidel. The Chair Sfes, yes; we all know that. Mr. O-w-e-n 1 don't wish to expose this Con vention to the community. The Chair The Convention does not wish to bo exposed. Yon can sit down. Mr. O-w-e-n did not Bit down, but remained standing for some minutes, gazing with, mouth wide open, at the eentleman who took the floor. He was finally satisfied, aud thereupon assumed a sleeping: posture. A gentleman then proceeded to discuss the subject of effective organization, pointing out the different steps in the order in which they should be taken. He gave an account ot the "Utilitarian Society" of Philadelphia, aud its chnracter, holding it up as a model. In this way an influence could be wielded that would shake Christianity to its centre. By this time Mr. O-w-e-n had recovered, and he again suddenly made himself heard as fol lows: Infidelity ! inndelity ! you must keep in fidelity before you 1 (Cries of "Order! order!") Speak louder to the audience, we can't under stand you. An Itinerant Infidel Wanted. The speaker then continued, stating that he had left home and come to the Convention on purpose to ascertain if it were not possible to devise some plan for sending f arth an itinerant preacher ol infidelity. If such a man would come within fifty miles of the speaker's home, he would hire a hall for him and pay his expenses, ana tuen see mm one hundred miles on his journey away. He also in formed the Convention tnat oeiore tne loss or his eyesight he had read and studied a great deal; but his course ot stuay seemeu to nave been restricted to a work called tue "Devils Book," which appeared to be a mixture ot Latin, Creek, and Hebrew, lor an ne knew, and which had been borrowed by one doctor, one lawyer, one member of the Legislature, and two or three other persons. Ha thought that, if the itinerant would only turn up and devote a little time to the study ot this book, he would be able to make short work with Chris tianity. John O-w-e-n Desires to Hear Some thing About Infidelity. Mr. O-w-e-n here interrupted tho speaker, to say: I want to hear something about infi delity. Keep to the question. I (Cries of "sit down !" "sit down 1") wp want tne gentle man to speak on infidelity. (Cries of "Order I" "older !") Mr. O-w-e-n sat down at last, and listened attentively for awhile to the next speaker, who addressed the Convention in a low, sing-song tone. It was evident that, like most of the rest, Mr. O-w-e-n could not get the sneaker's drift, and so great was his disgust thereat that he shrugged up his shoulders and left the hall. Alter the departure ot Mr. u-w-e-n, tue pro ceedings became so intolerably dull, that our reporter, at a quarter to 4 o ciocs, gauiereo. up his notes and beat a retreat. The example thus set was followed by many others. CITY INTELLIGENCE. For Additional Local Items see Eighth Tag. The Miller Tragedy The Conclu sion OF THE LOBONETVB INQUEST VERDICT Against Gottlieb Williams. Yesterday morn ing the Coroner's jury resumed the investiga tion into the cause ot the death of Mr. Eliza Miller, and the following additional testimony vas submitted: John D. Fell testified tnat ne Knew Wil liams; on Wednesday morning, the loth, instant (tho day ot the muraer): witness went to uw place of business, Tnouipson's yard, N. E. corner Twelfth and Hamilton; got there about half- past C o'clock; saw Yillianis near tne corner, and from his appear". ace thought bo had just been washing himuelf, witness opened tho shop and then went to tho stable, and atter letimiiui to the warerooni Williams was gone; this was between h ana 115 o ciock, wueu u disappeared; witness attended to some busi ness, and when ho came back saw Williams leaning against a chimnev-place back of the wareroom on Pleasant street; ho remained there a short time, and then went towards Eleventh street: at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the witness heard ot the murder; on Friday, 21st, Mr. Leech told witness that Gotlteb Williams was the man who killed the woman; that was after his name had been published in the papers; had not seen Williams Biiice the previous Wed nesday; on Friday it was suggested to witness to search the stable and premises, to ascertain if WiUimus hud hid anything when he win there on Wednesday morning; Mr. Leech and witness did search, and in tl.e stable found a bloody ehiit-cufl with a small portion of tbe sleeve attached; the stable was in a dilanidated condi tion and of easy access; the cuff appear?,! to have been thrown by carelessly j it was behind a horshead. William J. Leech corroborated the account of finding ihe shirt-cud on Friday afternoon. They started to search lor tbe razor and ring, and in searching tor these the shirt-cuff was found. Charles L. Parker testified that he kept a barber shop at No. 1212 Poplar street; on Frday, 21st, William was In his shop at a quarter past 7 in the morning, and witness shaved him; there was nothing peculiar about hm manner; alter ho was shaved he sat near a table, and held a newspaocr in his hand, appa rently readlntr; witness got his breakfast, aud was gone about ten minutes, and when he came back Williams had leit. Edward C. .Toce tetifled that he was in Par ker's barbershop on the Friday morning referred to, and ww Williams there; saw him With a newspaper In his hands; nothing was said about the murder. Chief Franklin testified that alter Williams' arrcf, and alter receiving a caution that he was not bound to tell anything to criminate himself, he was questioned in regard to his whereabouts during the week. Williams de nied being at the house of Mrs. Miller on the day of the murder, but admitted that ho wa there on the pievious Monday, and obtained his breakfast. In regard to the Wednesday, Williams said he got his breakfast in the Spring Garden market, and then went out to see his uncle ; he was asked to explain the blood on his clothes, which he did by saying that he was m a slaughter-house In Garden street ; he was aked how he lost the right sleeve of the phirt ; he sa'd he got into a fight on Wednesday morning, at Twelith and Willow, and there being blood on the cuff (the blood coining from his nose), he had torn the sleeve off, and threw It away in the Ftrect; he asserted that he pulled it off with his hand. He was arain asked in regard to this fight on Fridav last, and he adhered to the story, and stated that ho threw fhe sleeve nwav in Twelfth street, above Spring Garden. Mr. Franklin produced a handkerchief found on witness at the time of his arrest, and nlthouc-h he alleged that his noe had been bleeding, there was no blood on tbe handketchief. The shirt-cuff found corresponded with the cuff on the left sleeve of the shirt Williams had on when arrested. During the hearing yesterday, Thoma9 J. Worrall appeared as counsel tor the prisoner, but took no part in the examination of the wit-liesse;-. Tbe jury rendered a verdict, "That the said Kliza Milier came to her death from wounds inUicied at rhe hands of Gottlieb Williams, at her house, No. 924 Button wood street, on tho morning of Wednesday, September 19." Chief Franklin has" offered a reward of $100 for the recovery ot the ring worn by Mrs. Mil ler previous to her death, aud the razor taken from the house. i Meeiixo of the Union League at National Hall. The Union League held a meeting on Saturday evenmir, at National Hal), Market street. John Price Wetherill, Esq., pre sided, aud John Gotorth. Esq., of this city, de livered an address. The speaker commenced by saying that if those who have nttended the meetings held in this hall and throughout the city during this campaign have carefully noted the characfer of the speeches that have been delivered, thev cannot have failed to have been struck with the fact of how little of politics, how litt'.e of men. ana how much of principle they contained. It has been the studied effort to enloice the importance of electing to offices of trust none but just, true, and loyal men. (Applause.) It has'entirelv ceased to be a mat ter ot interest what may ne the majority for General Geary in October next. That his ma jority will be immense has become a fixed and Unalterable tact. Tl.e epcaker, In referring to the Southern States and the Bebclliou, said thac the South having attempted to go ut of the Union, and tailed of their puipose, now wish to come back with greater rights and more power than they had before. They endeavored to exercise the right to go out, but were conquered and brought back, subjugated and beaten. They have now only the 1 ighis of conquered Kebels. They have but two rights the c institutional right to be km p, and the divine right to be damned. They have done everything to forfeit the rights of citizenship, if not of civilization. They raised armies and navies to wage war against their country. They fought fiercely in the field, and resorted to all the arts, and devices, and barbarities that fiends and savages ever con ceived or employed. They did all they could to break up this Government. There was nothing whatever left undone. Murder, rapine, arson, famine, were ihe woik of their soldiers. In conclusion, bet eala: "Let us be governed by the experiences of the past five years. Let us be resolved that this is a Government of the people, for the people, and by the people, and that it shall not perish from the earth. Let us resolve to protect this Government now aud for all comine time. The people of the North have made up their minds to win, and the people of the South have made up their minds to submit. There will be no more war. Tho Kebels fought until they could fight no longer-they fought to the end. Everything now depends upon the people on Tuesday, October 9. On your votes hangs the late of the country. It you are true to yourselves, true to the past, true to tbe promptings of the future, there can be but oue result." PASSENGER RAILWAYS.
