SCIENTIFIC AND BIBLICAL TRUTH.

SCIENTIFIC AND BlDLI'AL Ihc IN
Prof. Tayler Lewis, in a letter which we
publish to-day, continue his argument to
prove that there is "pOar opposition
between modern theories of science and
the truths of the Bible. The greater
part of his letter discusses the ques-
ton whether the evolution theory is
compatible with belief in personal God
whose actual will at present controls all things.
Prof. Lewis insists that a God who simply set
the machine of the universe in motion or called
it into being ready to move itself, and then ana
there left it forever to work out its destiny
according to the laws impressed upon it, is not
at all the God of the Bible and belief
in such far-off deity is barely one
remove from atheism. In this branch OF the
argument Prof Lewis is strong. But it proceeds
on the assumption that such n deity is the
God of the cvolutionist; and while this may
be the fact in some instances, it is not true of
all or nearly all the believers in the modern
theories of science.
To the second branch OF what Prof. Lewis
calls the "polar opposition he has given COM
paratiyey few words, but they are remarkable.
He fatty refuses the concession TO sci
ence that the first man, the Adam OF
our race, was the result of anything
but a special CREATION was made by
ANYTHING less than separate act of God. On
this point he declares that Christianity must
stand or fall. On it a large proportion of the
leaders of modern scientific thought will take
direct issue with him.

Gen. Banks has discovered an entirely new
and most interesting variety Of international
agreement, which must have chapter to itself
in all forthcoming editions of Lawrence,
Wheaton, and Vattel. 1t is treaty whereby
one sovereign binds himself to supply another
with board and lodging, on such terms and
for such period as the high contracting parties
may agree upon; and although we are not
aware that these matters are usually the sub
iect of negotiation when kings and princes and
otherpersonages OF that sort exchange visits, Gen.
Banks's discovery will possibly make change
in the old custom. Every well appointed State
Department will then have to be supplied
with an experienced caterer" and o popular
"room-clerk, long and favorably known to
"traveling sovereigns !" while it will be

this could be made strong argument against

Judging from the altered tone of The Lon
don Times, Great Britain may now regard ap-
provingly a part of senator Sherman's scheme
for placing the British and American gold coins
in simple ratio. But the British are not dis
posed to vary their standard, holding that it
will be easier for us to alter our coinage since
gold is not now in general circulation here.

The Presidential fever has invaded the New
Jersey Legislature, and patriotic members have
begun a lusty battle against the Pope. An OBJ
serving correspondent gives in another column
an entertaining history of the proceedings thus
far. The demonstration has been slight, and
in the interest of no particular candidate
From present indications New-Jersey will have
no candidate to present to the National Re-
publican Convention, but will send an un-
pledged delegation IN favor of sound money.
Third term advocates are almost entirely want
ing, and neither Secretary Robeson nor Senator
Freinghuysen can command united support.
Mr.. John Y. Foster may succeed in handing
over the State to Mr.. Blaine, but the job looks
a great deal too large for him now.
New-York tribune., 1876-01-22

The letter, which we recently published on
Presidential prospects, as seen at the capital
of Pennsylvania, ia reinforced this morning
by similar letters giving the outlook IN Massa-
chusetts and New-Jersey. The noticeable point
in each is, that neither State has the least re-
gard for its own candidates. In New-Jersey
they incline to a good-natured laugh when Mr..
Frclinghuysen is named. In Massachusetts, they
set down Mr.. Charles Francis Adams with the
cool remark that che is an infant in politics and
"rusty in craftsmanship" Massachusetts peo-
pie, indeed, seem thus far to be the exact op-
posite of the Atlanta postmaster, who was
rebuked for being too unanimous. They are
very clear that they do not want Adams, and
reasonably clear that they do not want Blaine.
They have some friendship, but not great
DEAL for Mr.. BrstOw, a little for Mr.. Wash
burne, and little for Secretary Fish. As 1t
looks now, their delegation will be committed
on only one point. No matter what happens,
it will be dead against a third term.

cording to our Albany correspondence, to be

Our relations with Spain are again brought
into prominence by the publication of the cor
respOndence of the State Department on the
subject, including an abstract of the circular
note asking the moral support of other Euro
pean Powers. In these documents will be
seen the basis upon which the part of the
Presidents message relating to Spanish at
fairs was based Our grievances and
the abnormal position of Spain in its
Cuban war are very fully detailed, and
the need for measures to change the situation
is forcibly set forth. A statement comes in
our cable dispatches that the Anti-Slavery
Society have assured Earl Derby of their in
formation that Spain is willing to put Cuba on
the same footing as Canada has toward En-
gland, provided slavery can be retained. If
true, this may point path to the solution OF
some of the difficulties of the Cuban question.

Gen. Hazen returns to the attack on the
barren lands west of the Tooth meridian. His

plorers, and they are quite. as much to the
point as the older authorities, in showing that

widely believed at the West. In handling

The discussion about secret societies in Col
leges, and especially III Princeton. does not
subside. We give elsewhere this morning the
space due to the distinguished attainments
and position of an alumnus, who, with
rare modesty. prefers that what he considers
the truth should triumph without the adventi-
tious aid of any mans rank or reputation. He
makes perhaps the strongest consecutive aIgu-
ment yet presented against the policy which
DR.. McCosh has adopted, and i'll SO doing
speaks for some of the Trustees and many of
the alumni. We print also few other letters
on this subject out of the many which have
been received. They serve to illustrate the
interest felt in the Princeton contest, not
merely among students but among thousands
of alumni from all the colleges.

"Shall the back Of the sword devour for
ever 7" This is the blunt fashion in which
Mr. Elihu Burritt demands a reduction of the
army and navy establishments of the United
States, and the terse logic of the appeal which
he makes in Our columns to-day suits the tenn
per of the time. During tho two years of
peace following the great triumph of intelna-
tional arbitration at Geneva our army and
navy cost us $30,000,O00 more than
they did during the last war with Great
81 itain, and the increase IN twenty
years has been 800 per cent. There is
fine irony in these figures which Mr.. Bur
rtt, who has been attending Universal Peace
Conventions for thirty years, fully appreciates.
Well, he is right Peace in our centennial
year should not be a cuckoo song. But re-
trenchment should begin in the right quarter.
Our army is very small now-only 10000
men-barely enough to garrison the forts in
the West and to guard our frontiers. Not a
man can he spared. But Congress has it in
its power to starve out those political aims
houses-the navy y-yards-and it should make
the most of its opportunity.
