The answer to these questions furnishes the

l. Gov. TILDES has shown b. hi. works his
flith In reform and his ability as a reformer.
He struck down the 1wELD Ring inside his own
pfrty. Ho crushed the Canal hing. composed
Of rogues Of botn parties. And 10 less than
eighteen months he reduced the taxation in this
site from fifteen to eight millions IN round
numbers. What has HAYES done but sigo
routine papers, grant pardons, and take his ease
In Office?
ii. Tue characters Of the two men are a. far
apart as the poles. TILDES Is pronounced, posi-
tive, and aggressive IN asshling corruption aud

1t was far-fetched inquiry that was
made In the British Parliament Yesterday, by a
member who desired to know whether the Gov
ernment had any Information about the Sioux
war OF its causes. and whether IL proposed to
tender its good Offices In the settlement Of a
dispute which might involve British Indians.
The member evidently needed the information
which he sought Tor without obtaining 1t. But
we DO not yet feel the necessity OF British assist
ance in the y ,ci1cation Of the Sioux, and there
ia no reason t. believe that any British Indians
will become involved In the troubles. II we h we

llment Is not called upon to investigate the

We have not too much confidence in the

Was There a Conspiracy at Goshen I

Our Goshen correspondent, several days
ago, called attention TO the eXtraol binary
arrest of the coachman of Mr. Robert III.
BERDELL for simply driving his employer
away from the station at n rather fast rate
II is hardly likely that no could have ex-
pected to escape in n two-horse carriage (;
while il was quite reasonable, rs well as
dutiful on his part, to get away from such
n crowd as had been encountered at the
Goshen depot as rapidly as he could.
Some curious things come out in the tes-
timony about this Goshen affair. Mr..
Conner, the first witness for the pr osecu-
ton, appears 10 have been very forward
TO disarm the single-handed Mr.. BERDELL,
although he could stand by and see two
men assail him and not offer to interfere.
Mr.. MURRAY, who died yesterday, was
President of the village of Goshen-Iidicu-
lous title for village officer; and the
question arises whether there was dellb-
crate conspiracy and an assemblage to as
sault Mr.. BERDELLi
II there was, Mr.. BERDELL's pistol APP

We believe there Ii hell But II Ia not place
OF eternal torment inflicted for the sake OF
punishment. 1t Is really the association
OF men who in this existence loved themselves
supremely, broke the laws OF spiritual life, and
did evil Tho state Of soul thus produced Is
Internal and men In such a state gather together
after death. But In that association, though
their condition Is deadly and deplorabIe. they
DO not know 1t, but have as much hap ainess as
they are capable OF, and as little suffering.
All Christians believe the soul to be born with
man none OF them, so far as We are aware,
think It had any previous existence.
When you say myth" you speak incorrectly.
myth Is properly an ancient story; 1t may be
true or It may be false.
The soul Of man is a receptacle Of the divine
life. II has no life Of Its own, but II Is a form
which receives life. and appropriates life as II 1t
were it, own. There Is only one life In the
whole INFINITE universe. aud that Il the life OF
GOD. THIS ia communicated to all things and
all creatures and In various degrees appropri-
ated 10y them. A symbol Of this great truth Is
seen In the communication OF life by the sun to
animals and vegetables In the earth. and doubt
less also In other planets. In similr way
the souls OF men receive life from GOD; and as
they appropriate that life to good to evil uses,
their capacity Of receiving 1t Is increased or d.
minished; or, to sta'e the same truth IN other
words, their souls become more and more, or
less and less. re iiity.
The soul being such a receptace OF life as we
have explained. and with such ability Of self-dl-
rection,it follows that It is OF a substance higher
In degree than the souls OF animals. which neither
evince nor possess such ability OF self-drection
and OF progress, but exhibit at their birth
every intellectual aud moral faculty which they
manifest In their highest stage of development.
The universe Is eternal "a a whole, but ever
changing as to It's parts. Planets, stars, sys-
TENS may die, like the minor productions OF
nature, and be resolved into the elements OF
matter prior TO new transformations; but the
Infinite natural phenomenon OF tue one infinite
