By order of Committee B. Gl K, Chairman of Rep. Cong. Committee. ual 111 tit si.** INDEPENDF.NCK, TOWA, June 8, 1870, MY DRARSNYDER:—Noindividual !s born, under the laws of nature, to a special privilege or a social right in the world. (1.) The acepter of au thority ia no ante-natal gift from the Creator. (2.) True, Kingcraft denies this proposition, as munt all consist ent opponents of equal rights,—and just here lies the" dividing line be tween us. Every individual is born with sn equal right to life and all its possibilities with every other. (.1.)— The fact of existence Is involuntary with the individual soul—something ov«r whicli it has had no control.— Hence the Individual is in no wise responsible for the distinguiHhing circumstances of sex or surroundings attend i ng bl rth ,an con seq uen tly can not justly be circumscribed in rights or privileges by reason of such cir* cumstanres. (4.) To deny a right or privilege to an individual because that individual was born a female, is to take a contemptible, unmanly and outrageously unjust advautage of a condition for which such individual is in no wise responsible and for which no penalty can in decency be Imposed by man. To deny a right or privilege because the individual was born poor or in obscurity, or with a dark skin, would be equally an out rage upon justice, lou have doubt less preached this latter doctrine time and again, as a defender of Republi can principles, and it is only when you reach the crime of having been born a female that you deny the ap plication of the principle. (5.) Now let us suppose that your wife desirea to exercine her right to self government by voting on an exact equality with yourself. Were she your brother instead of your wife could you claim that this demand was unreasonable or unjust? Would you not readily admit that every right and privilege which you de mand for yosrseif belongs equally to him? Now if you deny your wife these rights and privileges, can you present any reason for it, excepting the bare fact that her aoul—her real individuality—is connected with a female body? Ia she not equally huuiau, as much a distinct indlvidu ality, as responsible to her Creator, witli as well do fined personal aspira tions and duties, and as clear a right to self control in svery reapect as your brother? Theu what reasou but the simple one of aex and her helplessness iu being under foot, can you offer as an excuse for denying her what gou would uot think of de nying your'hrother. (6.) Doyouaay it would harm her? Has ahe not as valid a right to be a judge of this as you? You might think the same of your brother— that it would harm him. Tell him so, and how quickly and indignantly would he retort, "Who made thee thy brother's keeper?" Oh! but your wife is a womant There's the rub— the crimv of being a woman You say she is already represented. (7.) But supposing she thiuks dif ferently and demands the exercise of all rights aud privileges In the same way with yourself. lias she not an equal right with yourself to an opin ion iu the matter, and can you deny her demand for any reason but her sexliood '*Do as you would be done by" is a golden rule always and everywhere aud the true basis of just government as well as of religion. Now there are thousands of women all over the land who think that the government under whicli they live, and which compells their obedience, would be made better and more effi cient in securing its true objects, if they could have a voice in it. They feel that they are not properly rep reaented. They demand the same voice—no more, no less—and the op portunity to exercise it iu the same manner as yourself. Put yourself in their place aud you would be more or less than human did you not resent with bitter scorn the insulting re sponse of men to your demand for equal rights—"Your opinions we are not bound to consider you have no rights which men are hound to re spect. You have all the attributes of humanity as well as ourselves, it Is true, but you aie a woman we have you iu our power and will do with you as we like." This is practically the answer which you and ail other opponents to woman suffrage make to tbe demand for equal rights. (8.) I have in this letter treated tbe questiou from the stand point of the individual. Iu my next I will con sider it from tbe stand-point of soci ety and government. Very Cordially Yours, J. L. Looms. •HT Reply. 1. If ty "speets! privilege or a qieclal right in the world," iu your flrst sentence, you mean the right to the ballot, you have assumed the whole question between us. Theio is a sense in which even this true, but not the sense in which you use it. If you mean by "special privi lege" or a special right, anything else your statement la entirely un true. 2. But the duty of obedient to just law under which we are placed is universal. Though some are not born to rule, all aro born to obey. 3. True. But do not the circum stances of birth, including sex, go in to make up the possibilities? Is the will of bur Creator as to the possibil ities and responsibilities of each in dividual, aa indicated hi the sex, to be disregarded? Though tbe indi vidual is in no way responsible for the distinguishing circumstauces of sex, yet the individual, man or wo man, is not to override the "dislin* guishing circumstances of sex" and put him or herself in the position or attempt to discharge the duties de signed for the opposite ses. 4. Every individual must be "justly circumscribed in rights and privileges by reason, of UK'h circumstances,' i. e. of sex. \nSur statement li^r# reveals the unfortunate features of this whole woman's suffrage movement. You ignore sex. Yoa force woman to forget she is a woman and try to be and de and act as if she were a mau. This is the reason why nine tenths of the modest, thoughtful, true women ef the land frown upon this attempt to force woman into un natural and undesigned positionsand relations. True she is not responsi ble for being born a woman, and her Creator will not hold her responsible for acts and obligations inconsistent with her sex, but He will hold her re sponsible for the acts and obligations for whicli her sex has designed her. My wife is a woman, bom so—It may be a great mistake—a great pity, but she cannot help It, neither can I.— She shall have all the rights and privileges of womanhood, but the fact of ler sex docs "justly circum scribe her rights and privileges."— We will give to woman all the rights belonging to her sex as taught in nature and revalatlon and the high* est type of civilization, but she shall be woman still, nor shall she ignore her sex. When you ask us therefor# to leave out of question "the distin guishing circumstances of sex," and belabor us and the rest of mankind unmercifully because this Is not done, we have only t* insist that if her Creator had designed her to be a mail, or to hold the relations of a man be would have made her a man. 6. We cannot suppose that the false analogies with which you here seek to cover up your want of arguniwnt could have escaped your notice.— You could but see that the fact of poverty er obscurity, or even a dark skin hears no reaetnbianco to the great radical, natural distinction stamped upon the race, both mind and body, by difference of the sex. You say "to deny a right or a prlvi. lege to an individual boru a female, is taking a contemptible, unmanly ami outrageously ui.just advantage of a condition for which such an indi vidual is in no wise responsible and for which no penalty can In decency be imposed by uiau." Whew? Give her tlit right and privilege of being a husband and father theu, for "she is in no wise responsible for being born a female and no penalty can in decency be imposed by man ujon her such distinguishing circumstance* of sex I The great difficulty of the whole of your theory is that you de termine to trample under foot the will of our Creator, as indicated in sexual differences. That women are not men is owing to the fact that they were not born so. Our Creator did not design theua to be men, and If their sex points out relations and duties, rights, and privileges if you please, we are not taking a "con tempt i bio, unmanly andoutrageously unjust advantage of a condition" in to wlilch our Creator has brought them into the world, the duties of whieh he designs them to till, if we insist that they shall All these rela tions, or in other words, that they shall be content with their own righta and privileges and not aspire to those of men.

This trampling under foot the dif ferences of tiie sexes—differences the most palpable,radical and irrevocable, differences recognized in ail ages aud necessary to all society—this then is the flrut "great principle on which this reform is based" whicli "those who oppose woman's suffrage do not fully apprehend." If, no, its con ception is iniquitous and its preva lence would be treason against nature and her Creator, and its fruits will be tbe disintegration of society.

We were pre«ent yesterday after* noon, at the eNtaMishment of Cook & Co., No. 024 North Fifth street inun ufacturers of vapor burner lamps, Ac., when and where some experi ments were made by Mr. Cook on ©oal oil and gisoline. The object was to teat the respective explosive properties of these oIN. The ex« pertinents were quite simple, and are doubtless not new to soint of our readers. But nt this juncture, when the public are unusually Interested hi relation to tbe explosiveiiew* of hurnlnir fluids, we shall tie pardoned for adding the in formal ion tfainetl from these experiments to the com mon stock of knowledge on this sub ject. A tin can thoroughly soldered and mnde perfectly air tight, wa* used. Tbe top of this ran WHS perforated, the aperture being about me half an Inch In diameter through this a loose wirk I»K« inserted ami tho can filled with coal oil. A match was then applied to the wick, ami In about tlfleen minutes ar. explosion bursting and shattering the C.III, oc curred. This was done repeatedly, and in n half dozen cn-es the explo slons occurred instantaneously---thai Is, slmiltaneotisly with setting tire to the wiek In other 'tises the tem- fng erature J. JoNF.a Bee'y. had nearly reached the boil point before the explosion hap pened and in two or three instances the soldering was melted from off the cans from the intense heal ap plied, and no explosion followed. It was also found impossible to pro duce an explosion when the aper ture wasctpwded witli a thick wick, to whatever degree of bent I he oil was raised. It would appear from these results that high teni|keratuie is not nil essential condition lo explo sion that, explosions of Coal Oil may occur at any degree of tempera ture and a'si that a loose wick is one of the conditions of an exp'osion. The experiments failed to show w Imt conditions oi^'combination of condi tions are necessary to produce un ex plosion Invariably. The Gasoline tests were more satis factory. being entirely eonclu.-ive. The process was identical with the Corl Oil experiments, but subjected to all the conditions it was po«*iMe to imagine. No explosion could bo produced. We feel convinced, there fore, that Gaso line, unlike tli» heavier Coal Oil, does not contain aA explosive properly, but may lie usej under a.I ordinary circumstances with safety, except as regards Its In flammability. The Are test of the Coal Oil used was 110. The gravity of the Gaso line 74. Xylite Hours.
