GENERAL JOHN COBTRN. of Aarion. dovbtisg moms. Early in the campaign, Mr. Hendricks made a speech at Terre Haute in which lie based his chief argument against the continuance of Republicans ii power on the ground that Grant had received a large present from the merchants and politicians of New York after his election as President. As proof of this rssertion, he read Grant's letter of acknowledgement dated in February, 1800. "We called attention to the fact that the letter was genuine, but that it was written in February, 18GC, the date of 18GO being a forgery for the purpose of political c-flect. We supposed at the time that 3Ir. Hendricks knew the date of the forger', because be took too prominent a part in the campaign of 1SC3 not to know that his party had made complaint of Grant then as having received all if not more than he deserved on account of his sen-ices to the country. But granting that he had suffered by a Fpcll of forgetfulness, we called attention to the fact that the dispatches from New York City, in November 18C), gave the particulars of the subscriptions for such testimonial, about sixty thousand dollars having been subscribed then. The Terre Haute Express gave the Associate Press dispatch of February 28, 18GC, announcing the payment of the complete sum to General Grant and his letter of acknowledgement, the one of which they have forged the date, and the Morning Journal published a letter from General Pouter, the President's Secretary, giving the date of said letter. In the light of these facts, and Mr. Hendricks admits that he knew of them, instead of making a manly correction of his error, if it was an error and not a deliberate falsehood, he quibbles and still spurts his inuendoes at Grant. Mr. Hendricks spoke at New Albany Saturday night, and on this point said: "I understand that considerable comment was made by Governor Morton upon a date, which was given in a speech of mine, of one of General Grant's letters. In a speech made by me at Indianapolis I published It as I found it published in the newspapers, a letter of Gen. (irast, addressed to Gen. Butterfield, of New York. That letter acknowledged a great present from tin men of New York. I pave the d ite of that letter as February, 1800. If it bore date In isrj, it was after General Grant was elected. If it bore date in 18GG, as Morton claimed it did, then it was before his election as President of the United States. I have never seen that letter, and have never had an opportunity to examine it. I took the letter as It was published in the iicwspapr3 of the country, and I published it in my speech as printed lathe newspapers, and any man that says that I altered the date for any purpose whatever expresses an uncharitable falsehood in regard to myself. That letter had not teen disputed up to that time. I don't know now what the late of that letter was. I understand that Poitter, one of the military secretaries of GeneralGrant in Washington, has written a letter that the proper date was in 1SC6. That letter, as I wnderstand, was lithographed, and copies of it Beat to Gen. Bctterfield and the gentlemen in New York who contributed the great present. If so.many copies are to be found and it is a better way to establish its genuineness than the letter of some man who is a 6tranger to the correspondence. Let some of the men who have lithographed copies produce them, rather than allow this man Porter to maka a contradiction upon the subject." The meanness of the original forgery wa3 scintillating virtue alongside this last effort of Mr. IlENDRiCKS,which reminds us of that other TnoMAS wko wished to thrust his hands into the gaping wounds before he would believe. This is not reason, nor caution, but hardness of heart. The evidence before our Tiiomas was three-fold, and it was impossible that it could be false; but be asks that he manhandle the letter that each voter in the United States may handle the letter and point out the figure with his index finger. Our doubting Thomas is a tricky Thomas, who has been hidden a good while under the cloak of hypocrisy, and it is time it was stripped off and his deformity laid bare. He is a quibbler, who uses a quibble to finish the work of a lie which had been ren dered harmless by exposure, and thus com mits himself to the lie after it is shown to be a lie. "We agree heartly with the Courier-Jour nal that there is no occasion for weeping over Vermont, And we can add, Maine, either.

A SUPPOSED AXD a' real case. The readers will find in another article Mr. Hendricks' quibble upon the forged date of General Grant's letter to General B ltterfield, acknowledging the testimonial from the business men of New York. He concludes his remarks on this head with the following supposititious case: "Suppose some sharp man in this city, thinking the probabilities are that Thomas A Hendricks will be elected Governor, and suppose that sharp man should make a present to me on Monday next of a very valuable horse. W11, you would all be surprised, and prick up your ears, and wonder what it meant his giving presents to Hendricks. And if I took the horse to my home and used him in my carriage, then you wonder what it does mean. But If, after 1 became Governor of Indiana, the Judge of this Circuit thou'd die, and there should b a vacancy in the Judgeship, and I should appoint this man to hold your courts as your Judge, who had given me the blooded horse, then you would say that this meant business from the start. And if the same thing should occur four times while I was Governor of Indiana, and then four years from this time, I would come down here and ask the people of New Albany for their votes to elect me the second time to that p06t, you would sav. No. Mr. IIexdricks, we can not vote for

you, because you have done this thing. We can ntt enttrtaln your application.' " There is a real case which Mr. Hendricks might have put, which would have been much more pertinent to his case. Suppose some sharp men in New York, who owned the stock of the Central Canal, and could not sell it for a half cent on the dollar, should say to Mr. Hendricks who is an honorable and fair-spoken man, and director of the .Water-works our canal stock is not worth anything now ; but if you will take the canal at a fictitious valuation, and transfer its stock into "Water-works stocks, you shall be as OHe of fusp have just the same amount of the new stock that the original owners have in .other words, you shall have thirty five 'thousand dollars for your influence in transfering this worthless property iinto good stcck; and he should do it, and receive $33,000 of stock for it; and should tell the public that he had invested his money in the water-works and it is a good thing ; and other men who knew nothing of this trick should pay their money fpr this foggy canal stock, which had been baptized as water-works stock; and they should finally find out the true state of the case, and bring suit against Mr. Hendricks to get their money back on account of the fraudulent nature of the issuance of the stock. Suppose other New York men have several millions of worthless stock of the Wabash and Erie canal, which they want to be made worth so many dollars by the State ef Indiana, and they shall tell their friends to support Mr. Hendricks for Governor, when his influence would be made sufficient to make every canal certificate worth a round dollar, which is not now worth an alloyed copper cent. Then would the people wonder what it meant? Rather would they not say, Mr. Hendricks made the Central Canal ring rich for $35,000 of their stock, and may he not help the Wabash and Erie Canal ring, which can just as easily give $350,000 of their stock. This is a real case. What should the tax payers of the State say to Mr. Hendricks when he asks them for their votes? They should reply in his own words, "No, Mr. Hendricks, we can not vote for you, because you Itave done this thing. We can not entertain your application." TnEOhio State Fair, which was this year held at Mansfield, has not turned out a brilliant financial success, so far as heard from. The Columbus Journal says the Board may possibly have a margin of a few hundred dollars, and gives the most hopeful view of a member of the Board to be that "We shall go home no poorer than , we were when we came." TnE people of Meridian Street Church will be made happy by the revelation of the Conference appointments in our columns today. They had been cast down by reports that Dr. Naylor was to be transferred to Cleveland, Ohio; and there was no one else they wanted so much as this distinguished minister. Miss Steiniche was sixty-five, Dr. SciirerrE about forty, and they were engaged to be married. It appears by the last trial that the Doctor did not kill her to avoid marriage. What a pity he wasn't hung at first, retaining the respect of mankind. The shoe of a Louisville belle can be used as a ladder. St. Louis Globe. Is it Jacob's ladder, you mean? Jeff Davis has an imitator in North Carolina, a refugee from justice, who took refuge in female attire. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Emma mine, seventeen miles southeast of Salt Lake, which came pretty near weighing down General Schenck, is bearing well, and is thought to be one of the richest argentiferous mines on earth. The shipments of ore to the foreign and American smelting works amount to 26,030 tons annually. The original owners of the Emma sold the mine for L $1,200 00 in gold. Other discoveries, promising equally rich results, are announced. Utah also boasts immense beds of iron and coal. Wren the Greeley party started out with a war-whoop, they Were going to carry the South solid, but things begin to look very doubtful. The North Carolina election dampened their ardor some , and they are not shouting so loud as formerly. South Carolina has always been considered sure for Grant. Florida Is equally certain, and the strong State ticket In Alabama places all the chances in favor of the Republicans there. Mississippi will give the Republican ticket ten thousand majority, and the fusion of the two factions In Louisiana gives that State to Grant. All things considered, Greely will probaMy be able to carry Tennessee, if the coalition holds together long enough. Commextino on the silly charge of the Democratic papers that 8enator Wilson was a Know Nothing, the Boston IHht, excellent authority among the Catholics, Bays: The editor has been able to find nothing to justify the accusa-

tlon, except tte fact th:it Mr. Wile on received a few votc3 for Governor in the Know Nothing convention and declined the tomication." The rjot arrives at this conclusion: If Mr. Wilson uttered these things in 1S51, the tflot did not say anything about it, which surprises us. We are, therefore, in dined to believe whether he was a Know Nothing or not, that these alleged quotations are manufactured as campaign docmects, and unusually dirty campaign documents at that. A Berlin letter wi iter say s Bismarck is et 111

troubled with sleeplessness, and instead of courting the dowsy god by rethingto bed at an early hour, his custom during his present re tirement at Varzin Is to pass the night in com pany with a few of his confidants and companions In singing, music, telling storks, and drinking champage. One of his right-hand men he has a number of right hand men is an excellent Ringer and piano player, and when he is present Bismarck keeps him very busy. These symposiums seldom end until after day light; they never end till the Prince is drowsy. When he arrives at a conditio? in which he fancies that it may be -possible to obtain a few moments' L w r sleep he dismisses every one and hastens to lie down. But, too often, scarcely has his bead touched the pillow ere fee finds himself wide awake again; and if th;3 occurs all hope of obtaining sleep until the next day is abandoned. Newark, one of the principal cities of New Jersey, and one of the most exclusively manufacturing cities of the Union, though not knewn to the public with Lowell, Manchester, and Pittsburg, has undertaken an enterprise which we believe has no precedent in American history. It is an industrial exposition of the manufactures of a single town only. Even the sister city, Paterson, is forbidden to exhibit. It is simply an exhibition of what Newark alone can do. The whole "plan is unique. What is made, not what is grown, in the city of Newark, is the sole qualification for exhibition. The exhibitors pay no entry fee, and secure free admission, and the whole of the 50,000 square feet of ground is crowded with articles, even tho galleries having been invaded. Dur ing the day the place can be visited comfortably. At night immense crowds attend, and the spectator sees more of the people than of the articles -exhibited. The New York T ribunc, which has no opportu nities for gleefulness in connection with the election, finds vent for its humor in the alleged forlorness of the Eastern girls, remarking that "Now tie time of the seaside is over, and tbt voice of the pleasurer is no more heard on the mountains, anxious maidens and wily mothers are reckoning, as is their wont, the results of their campaign. It is not too much to say that the account is outrageously unsatisfactory. For at all the summer loitering-places, swoop they never so wisely, they have found no mar riageable lambs wherewith to deck the sacrificial altar. From Maine to Virginia the 6oft sex this season hath made itself beautiful in vain the young men of America have shown a shyness, a heartless indisposition to become "deluded victims," calculated to strike the strongest match-maker with dismay. It is not known In what desert regions single gentlemen of good expectations have madly buried themselves all summer; but a returning sad procession of unappropriated hearts and unsuccessful gowns attests the feminine solitude that has reigned at all the watering-places. The German has languished for lack of partners, and those moonlit paths down which tender pairs have erewhile strayed to matrimony, have been wholly deserted. Meantime, it is said that the single gentlemen have journeyed to and fro cn bachelor joys intent, with a diabolical exultation in their souls that deserves the most dreadful punlshuent." GENERAL BROWNE'S MEETING. ARRANGEMENTS FOR TUE GRAND RALLY TONIGUT THE BIGGEST GaTUEUINO OK THE CAMPAIGN. All advices indicate that tte meeting to-night will be the largest demonstration witnessed in this city since the memorable gatheringin 1SG0. From every town within fifty miles excursion trains will be run to-day, and the larger towns will send delegations to joinln the procession. Every club or organization in the county will also be present, and It it thought that not less than 6,000 torches will be In the procession.

TWENTYFIVE DEGREES OF LATITUDE SINGULAR FORMS OF LIFE NOW EXISTING NEAR THE EQUATOR. OFr Guatemala, July 29, 1872" To Prof. Benjamin Peirce, Superintendent U. S. Coast Survey: Mr Dear Peirce: Do not be surprised at my few messages. It is about all I can do to take advantage of every opportunity that offers for study and collecting; but I rarely feel sufficiently collected to do any connected writing. I have another new chapter concerning glacial phenomena, gathered during our land journey from Talcabuano to Santiago, but it is so complicated a story that I not feel equal now to recording the details in a connected statement, while the whole may be put in a few words. A GREAT VALLEY THAT HAS BEEN FILLED WITH ICE. There is a broed valley between the Andes and the coast range, the Valley of Chilian extending fiom the Gulf of Aneud.or Port Montt, to Santiago, and further north. This valley is a continuation, upon somewhat higher level, of. the channels which, from the Straits of Magellan to Chiloe. separate the islands from the main land, with the sole interruption of Tres Montes, which gives tho clue to the whole, as we have here In miniature a valley between the Andes and the coast range. Now this great valley, extending for more than twenty-five degrees of latitude, is a continuous glacier bottom, bhowlng plainly that for its whole length the great Southern lce sheet has beeu moving northwards in it. I could find nowhere any iudfcation that glaciers descending from the Andes had crossed this valley and reached the shores of the Pacific. In a few localities only did I notice Andean, that Is, volcanic, erratics upon the louse materials filling the old glacier bottom. Between Curillo and Santiago, however, facing the gorge of Tenon, I saw two distinct lateral moraines, parallel to one another, chiefly composed of volcanic- bowlders, resting on the old drift, and indicating by thcirposition the course of alarge glacier that once poured down from the Andes of Tenon, and crossed the main valley, without, however, extending beyond the eastern slope of the coast range. These moraines are so well marked that they are known throughout the country as the Cerrillos of Tenon; but nobody tuspects their glacial origin, even the geologists of Santiago assign a volcanic origin to them. " STRATlrtED TERRACES LEFT BT GLACIERS, What is difficult to desciibe in this history are the successive retrograde steps of the great southern Ice-field, that, step by etep.left to the north of it larger or smaller tracks of the valley free of ice, so that large glacial lakes could be formed, and, in fact, seem always to have existed along the retreating edge of the great southern glacier. The natural consequence Is that there are everywhere stratitied terraces, without border barriers (as these were formerly the lee that has vanished,) resting at successively higher or lower levels, as you move north or south, upon unBtratllied drift of older date, the northernmost end of these terraces being the oldest, whllo

those further south belong to later steps in the waning of the ice-fields. From these data I infer that my suggestion concerning the trend of the stria? upon the polished and glaciated surfaces of the vicinity of Talcahuano, alluded to in the postscript of my last letter, is probably correct. I was much grieved on reaching Valparaiso to hear of the mishaps of the dredging apparatus. The subsequent departure of Pourtales has been a great loss to us all, for notwltr:standlughls silent nature, he Is a powerful 6tandby. WHENCE COME THE ORGANISMS EXISTING IN THE OALAPAOOS? Our visit to the Galapagos has been full of geological and zoological' Interest. It is exceedingly impressive to see an extensive archipelago, of most recent origin. Inhabited by Cieatures so different from any known in other parts of the world. Here we have a positive limit to the length of time that maybe granted for the transformation of these animals, If they are in any way derived from others dwelling in different paits of the world. The Galapagos are so recent that some cf these islanders are barely covered with the most scanty vegetation. Itself peculiar to these islands; some parts of their surface are entirr y bare, and a great many of the craters and lava streams are so fresh that the atmospheric agents have not yet made an impression, upon them. Their age docs not therefore go back to earlier geological periods; thev belong to our time, geologically spealiog. Whence do their inhabitants come from animals as well as plants? If decended from some other type, belonging to some neighboring land, then it does not require 6uch unspeakably long periods for the transformation of species as the modern advocates of transmutation claim ; and the mystery of change, with such marked and characteristic differences between existing species, is only increased and brought to a level with that of creation. If they arc autocbtones, from what germs did they start into existence ? I think that careful observers, In view of these facts, will have to acknowledge that our science Is not yet ripe for a fair discussion of the origin of organized beings. Our stay in Panama has allowed us to make very extensive collections In the Bay and across the Isthmus. I was surprised to find so little ditlerence in the character of the flora aud of the terrestrial fauna between the two oceans. Marked peculiarities are only to be found among the marine animals, and even among them the American character of the Atlantic and Pacific marine fauna Is unmistakable ; we are not surrounded by animals recalling by their peculiarities the many groups of islands of the Pacific. I expect that our visit in Acapulco will confirm these impressions. Ever truly your friend, L. Agass:z. GRAND EXCURSION
