tive progress which is the proud Gu
paci.y Of the human intellect. Theve
is, moreover, no such advancement
in the intellectual powerscf different
species as Darwinism requires. Those
which are most remote from man,
physically, ~ tho bees and ants, re-
semble him most In their apparent
mental processes.
The Scotch verdict of "not prov
On" is written across Darwin's fund
amental assumption, by she Of his
ablest and most ardent admirers.
His deductions from it need not,
therefore, detain Us long. If the
foundation is weak, the whole struc-
ture Of his reasoning is insecure.
The argumeat Of this book, "The
Descent Of Man." proves unreliable.
Still there may be q m0fsel Of truth
somewhere in Mr.. Darwin's hypoth-
esis for all that. The Creator has
wrought BY marvellous ways, that
we should not havc suspected. 1t is
not yet decided absolutely whetbor

interminable series Of results of q
primal creative effort.

Of his physical derivation, tho dis

Homo is not in any bodily mark or
trait, but rather in virtue Of his epir-
itual nature, the eliving SOUL" the
"image Of Cod" breathed into the
otherwise senssless clay. Not until
this living soul was given did Man
stand upon the earth, and having
this eminent and generic endowment
he need not be troubled respecting
the derivation Of his bodily frame
A little less hair, q few ounces more
brain, do not differentlate him from
the apes. If that were all, he would
better have remained an ape, proyi-
ded he ever was ono, as Dsrwin
claims. His distinction, which also
involves his duty and bis destiny, is
an immortal soul which shall live
forever when the rest is mingled
with the dust of which it is made.
We take leave, therefore, of Mr..
Darwin with the conclusion that his
hypothesis is entirely unsupported
BY the evidence, and that if It could
be maintained it would still be of
comparatively little consequence.

DEAD.


CLARK DUNHAM, the founder Of
the Has0ksye, died at Burlington
yesterday evening, a. 81 o'clock, Of
Pulmonary Consumption, contracted
in the line Of his duty, as an indefa
tigable and untiring editor of . daily
and weekly paper.
From to-day's Hasokeye, wo learn
that Mr.. Dunham came TO Burlington
in 1854, and in conjunction with his
brotherin.law, John L. brown,
bought tho. Burlington Daily Iele-
graph, which was. eventually meta
morphosed into the Hawkeye, which
was, during Dunham's management,
and has been since, one Of the lead
ing and most influential dailies west
Of Chicago.
Clark Dnnham continued to edit
the Harkeye with most signal news
paper tact and talent up to October,
1865, when. he sold it to Messrs
Edwards h Beardsley, the present
proprietors.
Under Dunham's management tho
Ha,ckeys acquired position and in
fuence second 10 no other Iowa
paper, and it is not too high an elo-
GUM to pronounce upon the dead
journalist, TO ssy that, while he was
living, and in the editorial harness,
he was at least ahead of all his
cotemporaries in Iowa.
He had tho happy faculty Of
knowing just what the times required
him to write about; Of Just exactly
how to write that subject, and
moreover, he knew tho precise time
to stop.
= He was appointed Postmaster Of
Burlington, some four years ago, by
Andrew johnson, OF the special re-
quest Of Senator Grimes, of whom
he was q great friond and admirer,
but it is to be recorded, in his favor,
that he never became Andrew John.
sonixed, but lived and diod truo TO
the faith once delivered to the Re.
publicans.
The HaOkeye Of today concludes
its editorial notice of his death. a.
follows:
"Mr. Dunham has long been .
prominent man before the people of
Iowa, who will learn with regret of
the demise Of one who contributed
80 largely to the success of the Re-
publican party and whose unswerv-
