Professor Tynda1I.
HIS EXPLANATION OF HIS ADDRESS.

HIS EXPLANATION OF HIS ADDRESS.
A London letter
Professor Tyndall has published the
complete edition of his address, with a
preface in which he has nothing to retract
OF explain. 1t appears that he wrote the
paper in the Alps, and that it was sent
home in installments to be printed. 1t
was all in type when he read it at Belfast,
but it was too long for oral delivery, and
had TO be curtalled in certain parts. This
statement, of course, disposes at once of
the insinuation which was made that the
Professor was led away by the applause of
the audience. In point of fact, he merely
read what he had written in the solitude of
the mountains. The omitted passages are
now supplied, but do not appear to affect
in any way the general drift of the dis
course. You may remember that l sug-
gested at the time that some of the critics
were disposed to draw larger and more de-
cided conclusions from what the Professor
had said than his words actually warrant
ed, and that, as he had evidently
composed his statement with great
care, it was not quite fair to stretch its
meaning beyond the point at which he had
left it. This is Professor Tyndall's own
view, and he declines to 90 into any discus
sion as to what he did or did not intend to
convey. He says that she looks forward
to a calmer future for a verdict, founded
not on imaginary sins, but on the real facts
of the case The only explanation he
offers is that those who accuse him of g-
noring the existence of God should be CON
tent to say sour God" and that in his
hours of clearness and vigor he does not
feel that the doctrine of material athe-
ism," as it has been called, is a satisfactory
solution of the great mystery in which we
dwell and of which we form part. In
short, he evidently wishes to be under
stood that he does not repudiate the idea
of God, but only certain current concep-
tions of God This is confirmed by a
couple of quotations which he has placed
at the beginning of the book, and which
are perhaps more explicit than anything in
the preface. The first is from Xenophanes
of Colophon, and runs as follows:
"There is one God supreme fabove all
other gods, diviner than mortals, whose
| form is not like unto mans and as unlike
his nature But vain mortals imagine that
| gods, like themselves, are begOtten with
human sensations, and voice and corporal
members. So, if oxen or lions had hands
and could work, in mems fashion, and
trace out with chisel or brush their con-
ceptions of godhead, then would horses de-
pict gods like horses, and oxen like oxen,
each kind the Divine with its own form
and nature endowing."
The other is a sentence from Bacon
sit we're better to have no opinion of
God at all than such an opinion as is un-
worthy of Him for the one is unbelief--
the other is contumely."

1t will be seen by an article published in
another column that Prof. Tyndal is not
willing to occupy the position of an atheist,
or of one who utterly ignores the claims of
religious feeling to which some OF his OPP
ponents have condemned him. In his Bel
fast address he takes occasion to reply to
his critics on this point with good deal
OF very evident feeling. The facts of re-
ligious feeling he says, are to him as GER
tain as the facts of physics, and all that he
asks is that the forms by which that feel
ing is expressed shall vary IN accordance
with the intellectual condition of the age
There is nothing SO very dreadful in such a
demand for science. He shows also that
he cannot maintain the position of cold
and goddess materialsm aud saws that it is
not sin the hours of cearness and vigor,
that this doctrine commends itself to bis
mind but sin the presence of stronger and
healthier thought, it ever dissolves and
" disappears as offering no solution of the
mystery in which we dwell and of
(which we form part" This looks
like concession of the whole case, SO far
as the suiliciency of materaism is con-
cerned. and give to religion the advantage
of holding sway in the highest and best
modes of the mind even of the boidest
scientific investigation.

Gen Grout, who is termed the leader of
the house, very appropriately introduced
into that body ON Thursday, resolutions in
struc,ing our senators and members OF con-
gress to oppose the renewal of the reci-
procty treaty with Canada. The tendency
of renewal is evidently an opening wedge
to free trade. The point has already been
raised at the treasury department by the
customs officers that the proposed reci-
procity treaty. it lopted, would result in
uuiycrs II tree trad, as to the articles there
in enumerated. All existing treaties with
France, Great Britain and other great pow
ers contain the provision that those coun-
tries shall he placed on the same footing
with the most fay, rtd nation. Under these
provisions it is claimed that in the event of
the adoption of the reciprocity treaty with
Great Britain, France and Russia would
have the right to claim the benefit of its
provisions. This point will undoubtedly
attract considerable attention when the
treaty is brought before the United States
senate at its approaching session.

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS.
Business has accumulated very rapidly
inc present week, and committees no
longer complain of nothing to do. There
have been introduced, up TO tonight, nine
ty bills in the house, and thrty-onc in the
senate. Besides these there are a large
number of resolutions instructing various
committees TO inquire into matters pertain
ing particularly to them, and report by bill
or otherwise. Of these and other matters
you shall be duly advised by lSooG.

We have recently taken occasion to pre-
sent to our readers reasons, based upon the
experience and past success of Mr.. Julian
Scott, tor believing that the selection of
this artist by our legislature four years ago
for the production of battlc-picce for our
State House, was a wise designation, and
for expecting satisfactory and gratifying
result from his labors.
In the early spring after the passage of
the concurrent resolution of 1870 the qucs-
tion of the selection of subject for the
proposed memorial came up, and was dis
cussed somewhat in the newspapers of the
state. 1t was not finally settled until after
visit by Mr.. Scott to various southern
battle fields, accompanied by Hon. John
w. Stewart then governor, who from the
first took great interest in the enterprise,
and promoted its success with his excellent
judgment aud fine artistic sense.
None among the battles of the war are
more satisfactory to memory of the partc-
pants, or more exhilarating to the patriots
heart, than the wonderful series of victories
achieved by Gen. Sheridan IN the Shenan-
doah valley, during the fall of 1864. These
actions were in an especial manner pointed
out as affording the most satisfactory sub
ject for the picture to be painted for our
state, from the fact that Gen. Sheridans
command comprised larger number of
Vermont organizations than were at
any other one time contained
in so small an army, including not only the
entire sold Brigade, composed of the %,
3D., 4th, 5th 9th, and 18th regiments, and
the 10th regiment, all serving in the sixth
corps, but also the 9Th Vermont in the
nineteenth corps, and the cavalry regiment
we believe, under Custer.
And of this series of battles many indi-
cations pointed to the battle of Cedar Creek,
and led to its selection. 1t was the most
celebrated, most dramatic, and best known
such as to form most interesting setting
and back ground for the main features OF
the picture; while it was found by hap
by combination of circumstances that q
moment could be selected when the posi-
ton of the entire army, including all Oul
regiments enumerated above, could be re-
presented with historical accuracy, at one
view and in the flush of success, giving the
post of honor to the old brigade, as the
largest and best known organization, anc
forming situation of unusual interest and
value, historical as well as artistic.
We have no doubt that all are satisfied
with the selection of this subject; it for
tunately is one which strikes everyone fla
vorably at first thought. We all remembe
the thrilling story of the day, how tn
union camps were surprised in the early
dawning and amidst the gloomy fog; how
a succession Of brave struggles saw brigad

rj'The way men put off important mat
tiers to the last moment is one of the curious
things in nature. The fifth concert in aid
of the public library of Kentucky was ad-
ycrtised to take place July 3lst. The day
after, August LIST, Gov. Bramleite, the man
ager, at Louisville, received over $50, 900
for tickets. Had the drawing taken place
at that time the governor would have had to
send this money back, but as the concert
was postponed to November Both, 1t was all
right with them. We presume that on the
first day of December next, the lay after

received, one day too late, for there Will be
no further postponement. This money
might just as well have been sent week
before, as when it was.

One thing strikes northern traveller in
the South with great force-the intense in
bred love for the state. One expects to
meet something of this in Virginia and in
South Carolina, but it is everywhere. There
seems to be no national love for or pride

anything to do with any feeling against the
North resulting from the late war 1t
seems to have existed always at the South

A "bomb-shell" was thrown into the
house ills forenoon by Mr.. Buell. of Mid
dletown in the form of n joint resolution
relatingto the recent outrages in the south
ern states, which is given in tull in the of
fetal proceedings. Mr. Smllley of Bur
lingtonwas particularly sensitive in regard
to them as was Mr., Gilman of Montpe-
lier, an, proceeded to denounce the resolu-
tions asa thrust at the democratic party,
and Attempted to parry the blows which
they seaned to think were aimed at that
party PARTICULARLY. Just what particular

or to obvate clerical errors in amendments

duced in the senate by MI. Walton of
Washington county, the first section of
which is as follows;
SEC /. In prosecutions and cases arising
under chapter ninety-fOur of the general
statutes, and other acts in amendment
thereof, or in addition thereto. or other acts

the alleged reason that his testimony may
tend to eliminate himself; but the testi.
mony so given by such witness, shall not
be thereafter used in any prosecution
against him. except for perjury committed
while SO testifying.
This bill simply rectilies the omission
of the little word not from similar bill
passed in 1872.

Manchester places all domestic wines or

designed TO reach such cases rs the ont

be said in favor of such an amendment
and yet 1t is matter of much doubt il
it would not open the door of fraud and
deception, and prove disguise under
which those 80 disposed would disregard
the weightier provisions of the law.

Lynch Law.

In the infancy of nations, as in all
newly constituted communities, the reign
of law is anything but absolute. 1t only
becomes sovereign when the foundations
of society have been carefully laid, and
time has cementcd the superstructure.
When the action of the law is feeble or
suspected, wild species of justice super
sedes it, and executes an informal, but
not necessarily an unrighteOus, judg-
ment.
This irregular mode of procedure, gem
orally known as Lynch Law, is by no
means peculiar to America. Many
nations have practiced it in spirit, if not
in form.
In Germany, in the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, when every petty
prince, noble, and prelate claimed the
power of life and death over their vassals
and dependants; when merchants were
plundered and taxed mt the caprice OF
the mobiles whose territories they passed
through, singular species of Lynch
Law became established throughout q
considerable portion of the country, par
ticularly i'm Swabia, Thuringia, and
Baden. 1t was administered by secret
judges, who were bound by no writer
code, had no fixed places for holding
their courts, but assembled in the depths
of some lone forest, ruined church, o.
castle of one of their chiefs. They made
no prisoners, and pronounced but ont
sentence---death.
This mysterious association was known
as the Holy Vehm, or Vehm Gericht
No person, however exalted or humbl
his rank, could withdraw himself iron
its jurisdiction. 1t Judged and execute'
i'm secret. Did our space permit, W
could cite the names of royal parsonage
condemned and put to death by its secre
agents.
The Holy Vehm has long since disal
peared before the progress of law an
civilization, but several interesting MOI
uments of its former power are still to b
!. met with in Germany.
