The most important domestic Of the last week is
the death OF the Hon. Sas Wright, late governor of the
State The in which the is spoken of
by the leading journals of both political parties is most
honorable to his character and n We
think that the time of his election tho chief
magsracy OF the State that those who waited upon him
inform him OF the event, found him in his field quietly
engaged in labor. of agriculture. The incident was It
seems, characteristic of the mansimpe and unpretend
ing his and way life, he has displayed in his
Political high talents and unbending integrity The
death of such man. in the prime of life, must be lamened
public calamity lie was moreover perhaps, the most
promine among the democratic candidates for the
presidency ofthe Union and though Judging from the late
piles, the succession that high office be
bcred among the most uncertain of uncertain things the
probability ofhis being chosen was far from small.
Unde such circumstances, may well regret the death
of who five may judge from the past, would
elected that high office, have carried talents inc
te gritty and dsinerested devotion to the public good"

We do not know who Mr.. w. is, but he handles an
argument with terrible skill. He answers the geo.
logical argument Of the immense age Of the EARTH in
way, that must make the geologists feel fiat. Be
cause it would take 10000 years for the depo-
sition Of 100 strata ergo, say the geologiss, the
earth is so many millions of years old. and Genesis
Is fable. Now, suppose the problem should be. to
fiLd the age Of man from his height, which is ~
inches, his last years growth quarter of nch
being given quantity. By the simplistic law this
given quantity is the whole rule of his development
SO that if he grows quarter Of an inch in year
it will take 2ss years to grow ~ inches. Now, we
know that one quarter Of an inch in year. takes
place only between 90 and 81, and that he has
reached his height of ~ inches in 81 years. Can
the absurdiiy Of geoog cal logic be shown in strong
