rather than his scientific beliefs, it seems to
US to have been out of place.
But while there is no real conflict between
the truths Of science and those of revelation,
the partisans on either side are arrayed in
hostile ranks. Many Of the questions under
discussion are by no means new. They have
been wrangled over, for more than twenty
centuries, By "aIl the phIlosopher-sain Of
all ages" The prospect of arriving at
conclusion of this dispute at the present day
is not encouraging, if we are to judge from
past experience. But though the field is
broader, and each party advances 70 the con-
test with a greater variety of weapons than OF
yore, there is this hopeful feature about it:
each has greater respect for the position Of
the other than in any previous age. Each side
has learned something from its own reverses.
Science admits that it has gained its present
position after foundering through some sad
quagmires, such as the phlOgiston theory Of
chemistry, the corpuscular theory OF light.
the Neptunian and Plutonc theories OF geoi-
ogy. and whole series of blunders in natural
history. The Church has mended its position
very largely since the days when Calico went
to prison and GiordanO Bruno to the stake.
and does not even insist, now. on literal
construction of the first chapter OF Genesis.
Where each party knows its own weakness
and respects the strength of its opponent,
there is always hope of reconciliation.
To this task Prof. Charles w. Shields OF
Princeton dev0tes himself. in an address de-
livered before the Philosophical Society OF
Washington, and reported in full on our
fourth page to-day This essay attracted
marked attention from the scientific audience
to which it was delivered. The opposing
views are presented with fairness to each, and
in a spirit of candor, with a view to ascer-
tanning how far they are incompatible. Re-
duced by this review to their simpler
conditions, it is shown that in essen
tials, for the most part, science and
religion need not be opposed Where
differences still remain, philosophy is called
in as umpire, and scheme is sketched
by which, with due concessions on either
side, all discord can be harmOnized Religion
and science are each to contribute their full
quota to knowledge, each supplying much
which the other cannot Offer Of course such
suggestions will not satisfy extremists on
either hand; but to the great body of think
ing men, who love truth and willingly seek it
wherever it may be found and withersoever
it may lead, this essay will seem OF far
greater value than most of the argumentative
literature which has been drawn forth by
Prof. Tyndall's manifesto.

and the worst elements In IL. The nero
traders, who interest themselves in politics
solely for what they can make out of it, who
sell their votes or the votes of Others, accord
ing to their opportunities; and the thoughtful
and conscientious independent voters who 60
with their party just SO far as they think it
right and no farther. This year this class OF
voters have left the Republican party by
thousands, and have aided silently but with
wonderful efficiency to swell the immense
Democratic majorities which have surprised
nobody more than those who have received
them. Of course flood like this has also
carried with it q great mass of triftwOOd !;
so that 1t may fairly be asserted that more of
the best and more of the worst class Of the
community have this year voted the Demo-
cratic ticket than ever before. Now this val
liable independent vote, when once fairly
gained, has the habit of carrying elections.
But it cannot be retained except by the same
considerations which attracted it. 1t has voted
this year with the Democrats for probably
substantial reasons. 1t has taken this means
of expressing its disapproval of the admins
tration of Gen. Grant, of the misgovernment
of the South, of the blundering financial policy
of the last six years, of the corruption of the
party in power. If the Democratic leaders
wish to retain it, the only means of doing so
is to unite upon better body of doctrine than
any the Republicans can put forth, and to
show by their works that their principles are
not q hollow pretense. Make the Manhattan
speeches of Thursday night the acknowledged
policy of the National Democracy, and a great
step forward will be taken in the organization
of party which can govern the country for
its good

of the proposition which embraced an increase
of the salary of members of the Legislature
to S1,5OO year and 24S votes against it. In
Torrey, however, the vote stood 1O3 for TO o.
against but on the eighth proposition, whlch
reads "For the proposed amendment to Sec
" ton of Article X, being section relative
"'to compensation of certain Oficors,'" there
were SJ votes for and 10 against. The amend
ment to which this proposition refers appears
to be perfectly unobjectionable. 1t reads as
follows:
Proposed amendment to Article K OF the Constitution
SECTION Q. No officer whose salary ia fixed by the Con-
stitution shall receive additional compensation
Each Of the other State officers named In the Consttu
ton shall. during his continuance in office. receive
compensation to be fixed by law. which shall not be IN
creased diminished during the term for which he shall
have been elected apponted shall he receive to
his any pcrqusites Of office other compen
saton.
1t is not impossible that most of the voters
of TOrrcy who scratched this amendment
thought they were voting against an increase
of salary for members of the Legislature
The fourth proposition, relative to the
powers, duties and salaries of the Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor, was also
Disseminated against by the citizens of Fort
Ann, receiving only 1888 affirmative against 243
negative votes.
The amendments not Cancelled on the tickets
circulated at the polling places by the Demo-
cratic organizations of New-YOrk and Kings
County were those relating to the Legislature
and its organization, to the lateral canals and
to the time appointed for the amendments to
take effect. The effect of this proceeding
remains to be seen, but We trust and believe
that it will be nil.

A BRIGADE OF BRIGdDIERS.

When the late A. Ward, whose military
services never received even the poor reward
of a single Presidential term, suggested q
reorganization of the army by which it should
be composed entirely Of Brigadier- Generals,
he simply foreshadowed an experiment which
it has been the privilege of President Grant
to put in practice at the expense of the Re-
publican party; just as when the first Of these
humOrists expressed his willingness to sacrifice
his brother-in-law on the altar of his country,
he proposed ceremony which has since
been performed in more than one
Custom-hOuse and Government office. Presi-
dent Grant, by needless blundering and
willful obstinacy, has dwindled his army sadly,
and when the roll was called on Tuesday,
there was hardly enough OF it left to make o
respectable retreat. Not only his personal
record and the tendencies of his Administra-
ton, but the men who composed his liveried
faction and misrepresented at Washington the
people of their several States have been repu-
dated at the polls. They are generals with
out troops. leaders without following, repre-
seutatives without constituency. Of tho seven

THE AMENDMENTS.

1t will be impossible to tell the fate of the
proposed Amendments to the Constitution
until after the sflicial canvass of the counties
by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday next.
We have found in our exchanges the votes of
two towns only-Fort Ann. Washington
County, and Torrey, Yates County. The former
gives about 300 for md s5 against most of the
propositions, and the latter 115 for and 40
against. The total of the votes cast in each
town is about One-half the whole number of
ballots for the State ticket.
In Fort Ann l33 votes were given in favor

TILE CONFLICT OF SCIENCE.

When Prof. Tyndall, with eloquent and
striking words, threw down the gauntlet at
Belfast, avowing his own belief in materialism,
and eager to fight the battle of science against
religion, we deprecated the issue
he made as uncalled for and inappropriate.
There is no need of battle between
science and religion, and we think it was in
bad taste to proclaim such conflict from the
chair of the President of the British Associ-
alton. In so far as Prof Tyndall's announce

accomplish it.
In our report of the proceedings of the Ma
tiOnal Academy of Sciences there will be found
a very interesting memoir of Joseph SaxtOn,
an inventor who added many valuable pieces
of apparatus to the laboratory and made sew
eral discoveries of scientific and industrial i'm
portance. The memoir was prepared by Prof.
Henry, than whom no man in the country is
better fitted to appreciate and describe MIR.
Saxton's labors, which brought little pecuniary
benefit to their inventor. The anatomy OF the
king-crab the secular alteration of the mag
netic declination, and machine for measuring
minute barometrical changes furnished topics
respectively to Profs. Packard, Schott, and
Mayer.
After some further evidence for the prose-
cution, the defense was opened yesterday in
the safe burglary case. Mr.. Smithers. one of
the counsel for the defense, in enlarging upon
the purity of the life and character OF Har-
rington, took occasion to rebuke mendaclous
press that has been holding his worthy client
up to obloquy; but the judge interrupted this
flight of elOquence with reminder that there
was no evidence of the alleged mendacity be-
fore the Court. The defense proposed to show
that Whitley was in Boston at time when,
according to Hayes's testimony, he was In
New York; but the witness who was to prove
this point cut a rather sorry figure under
cross examination. The defense can scarcely
be congratulated on their first days work.
The appeals to bring out every voter, and
the moralizng on the Importance of one vote,
with which the newspapers are apt to be
filed just before elections, will hereafter de-
rive a new force from what is now going on
in the Vth Congressional District of New
Jersey. Ever since the election the balance
has been wavering between Phelps and Cut
ler. Now one seemed to have majority OF
20, then the other of IS; then the first of 10,
and so on. Yesterday it was finally reduced
to a question of A majority for Cutler with
five Republican votes said to be uncOunted,
which the Morris County canvassers are to
examine to-day, and report besides of two
illegal Democratic votes. 1t looks now, as
stated in THE TRIBUNE of Thursday, as if
the majority would not in any event be over
three or four votes either way.

such person, passes ordinary comprehension.

There is a great deal of anxiety at New

be viewed with suspicion. Trickery and fraud
in counting the vote of the State will be very
bad policy for the party now in power, since
