OF the statements in their proper connection,
and it is the experience of Christians every
where that she that believeth on the Son
hatA'-not shall have-"everlasting life."
Men really begin to live when they begin to
have faith in the Son of God, who hath
brought life and immortality to light through
the Gospel; for, as Paul declares, elf in this
life only we have hope we are of all men most
miserable, and the best thing we can do is,
as Solomon and Paul both declare, to eat and
drink and enjoy the good of our labor all the
days of this life. But these Hebrew philoso-
piers did not so believe; neither did they SO
teach. The other Scriptures quoted by our
correspondent do not bear upon the issue
which we raised between the ''Free Religion
Association" and the "Hebrew philosopher"
and ourselves, and we pass them by.
The argument from nature adduced by our
correspondent proves too much, and hence
defeats its purpose. Science, is properly, the
collation. of facts and their appropriate group
ing to make out a given case; but hypothesis
is not fact, and where all is guesswork one
mans guess may be as good as another's.
The fact that ''the elements of which all the
bodies in the universe are composed are eternal
and indestructible" does not begin to prove
the souls Immortality. Nor does it reflect
the attributes of Deity, ''save, as the Apostle
Paul declares, it sets forth His eternal power
and godhead." "All the creation there is, 4"
says our correspondent, ''consist, in making
one thing out of another, so that if we make
chair or table out of q tree it Is as much
creation as to make the earth out of materials
already in existence. But as we could not
make the chair or table without the tree, so no
more could the earth or any of the celestial
bodies have been made without the elements
of which they are composed, and which are
eternal and indestructible in their nature So
then God is mere mechanic, and ''the invisible
things of Him being understood by the things
made, donot after all prove ''His eternal power
and godhead." If this is the theory of our
Free Religionists and their Hebrew and Chris
tian defenders, and if science can put no other
or better facts into the case than this, we still
contend that cit can never change the common
belief of mankind in the immortality of the
soul and in its necessary independence of the
body" And in this faith We live and hope to
die !; and we have noreason to doubt that it
accords with the universal belief of the human
race. 1t harmonizes fully with human con-
seriousness, and is, therefore, universally &C.
cepted and believed. 1t is worthy of the utmost
credence by every intelligent mind.

In connection with tho Hodge defalca-
tiOn statements that were recently made,
which do injustice to Major Pauldlng,
formerly PaymAster in the army, who In
1860 was tried for alleged violation OF an
order, in having transferred his deposit
from the First National Bank to the Mer-
chants National Bank, which institution
soon after failed, the Government losing
the entire amount Of money. Instead Of
being tried as delaulter, he was, accord
Ing TO the finding Of the court, especially
eXonerated from having any personal or
interested motive in making the transfer.
Neither Is II true that he was ever In the
penitentiary, no did the courts 80 remand
him, He was ordered to q military prison
for year, and was in Fort MCHenry for
three months, when he was released by
order Of Secretary Stanton. Had II been
thought that his action in the removal Of
the deposit was anything more than an
error Of Judgment, II seems quite certain
that the penalty for the loss Of $276, 900
would have been something more than
the one imposed, which was merely nom.
inAl confinement within the grounds Of

that he never used for private purposes

The Mormon TrIaIs...A Verdict Of
it Guilty,

SALT LAKE, October 20.-The Court
occupied to-day with tho Hawkins adulte-
ry case. The oss.examination of Mrs.
Hawkins ELECTED nothing materially new.
She testified that Hawkins gave no reason
for taking the other women TOR wives, ex-
cept that she had had her day, and, 1t was
proper that he should have some one
else. She had borne him seven children
at the time ho took another wife. The
defence offered no testimony, except to
prove the marriage OF Hawkins with his
second and third wives. Gen. Maxwell
spoke for the prosecution, and assuming
that the defence would rest upon the plu.
raj marriage as beng part Of religious
faith, argued that polygamy was In lndi-
rect violation OF both the Ecclesiastical
and common law. He concluded at a
lato hour. For tho defence It was con-
tended that Mrs. Hawkins being woman,
had no intention OF committing crime,
and 1t was essential TO conviction; that
there was no law against polygamy.
When he took twenty wives he could not
be guilty Of adultery, because he was le.
gally married to the women according to
the usages and customs Of the Mormon
Church, Us. Attorney Bask will sum
up this evening, alter which the case will
go 10 the jury, A number of additional
arrests for lascivlous. cohabitatlon have
been made. ...,.l

Jury In Hawkins case came In last night
with a sealed verdict, which, on being

guilty. The court room was crowded,
and the announcement created much SEN
satioh. The counsel for the people
moved that the defendant be taken into
custody; the motion was stoutly reslSted by
the defendants attorney. The prosecu.
tion, however, were firm In their demand
that the case should take the ordinary
course, and the United States Marshal
accordingly was directed 10 hold Haw-
