with US. Laughter. Another feature
have observed which fills me with Ger.
tain amount of shame, when | think OF
what is going on in our own country.
| have visited your great universities OF
Yale and Harvard, and have seen how
your wealthy ncn contribute to scientific
institutions in "A way TO which we are to.
tally unaccustomcd in England. The
general notion ofan EnglishmNn who be-
comes rich is to buy IN estate and found
a family. The general notion OF an
American who becomes rich is to do
something for the benefit Of the people,
nnb to found an institution that shall
flow for all. need hardly say which |
regard the noblcst Of these two. 1t Is
commonly said there is no antiquities in
America, and you have to come to the
Old World to see the past, What may
be, so far as regards the tlumpery OF
three or four thousand years OF human
history. But, in the larger sense, Amer
lea is the country to study antiquity.
confess that the reality somewhat en-
cecded my expectations. 1t was my
great good fortune to study in New lIa.
ven the excellent collection made by a
good friend, Prot. Marsh. There does
not exist in Europe anything approach
ing it., as regards extent and the geolo-
gical time it covers, and the light it
throws on the wonderful problem ofevo-
luton, which has been so ably discussed
before you by Prof Morse, and which
has occupied so much attention since
Darwins great work on species. Before
tho gathering of such materials as those
to which have referred, evolution was u
matter of speculation and argument,
though we who had adhered to the doc
trine had good grounds FOR our belief.
Now things are changed, and it has be-
come Il matter Of fact and history. The
history of evolution as matter of fact,
now distinctly traceablc. We know it
has happened, and what remains is the
subordinate question OF how it hap
pened.

Prof. laMNley's Opinion Of tlRc
United states.

Pref. Huxley lately made speech be-
fore the American Association for the ad-
vanccment of Science, in which he said
some pleasant things. We extract the
following:
/ will state some few of the most
salient impressions which have been made
on NE since my arrival. have learned
many things and various things. In
England we hear and read of America,
and have our occasional controversies
with her, but no Englishman who has
not had the good fortune to visit this
country can form real idea of what the
word America means. We have no ade-
quate idea of the extent of your country,
its enormous resources, the distances
from centre to centre Of population, and
we least Of all understand the great basis
of character which sprung from the 9th
er side of the Atlantic. A friend Of mine
in England went abroad for the purpose
Of seeing foreign countries, and came to
America, but while helc he said he could
not find that he was abroad. Every.
thing here was so English. The scenes
which l have witnessed duling my tray
els through your country are like those
which we are familiar with in parts of
England and parts Of Scotland. Your
beautiful river Hudson reminds me more
OF Scotch Lake than anything else.
/ have heard great deal from your
own writers about the degeneracy of the
present American stock from the primi-
tive English type. Nathaniel Haw-
thome used an expression which rather
rubbed us; he spoke Of the distinction
between English and American women,
and told us English women were rather
too beefy. Now that was his expression,
not mine. Laughter. l confess the
signs OF the notifications OF type spoken
of don't strike me. The main difference
between you and us seems to he one OF
shading only. AS to stature, your men
have rather the best Of ours. In regard
to the stature of ladies l cannot find
much difference, and for fine matronly
frames, the average is as great here as on
the other side. There has been some
talk Of the influence of your climate car.
rying you back to the North American
type. | cannot say that | can see any
signs of that unless it be in the develop

prevails among all sayages. have Wis

good wigwams too. You entertain us

GOV sEENDKICKS ON THE IN.
DIANA VICTORY.
Extract Fl a COngratulatory Speech Of
Gov. Hendricks.

But let me tell you, Gen. Fitzpatrick
did not mistake the sentiment and heart
Of bis party when he said to the candidate
for the Presidency, in letter addressed
to him, that if they trusted to the discus
sion Of the finances Of the country they
would be beaten, but il they trusted to
the use Of money and to the bloody shirt
they could carry Indiana Tonight, |
thahk God and l thank my fellow.coun.
lrymen that in the estimate that he has
made Of the people Of this State he was
mistaken. They did adopt the sentiment
represented by the bloody shirt. They
did adopt the appeal to the prejudices of
one section of the country against an
other, and they did resort to the use of
money, and yet to-day the Democratic
banner floats in triumph in the clear sky.
Immense cheering.
am very proud that Indiana-this
great State-this State that lies midway
among the States Of this Union, has said
to the people Of the North, East aud
West that we will be no party to any dis
union sentiment or to any hostility to-
wards any section. Applause. Occu.
pying this midway position among the
States Of the Union, Indiana is true to
every section. Indiana will stand by
the East, by the North, by the South,
and by the West Indiana in sentiment
accepts the Union always, and no poll
tlclan can hereafter live and prosper in
this State who relies upon an appeal 10
the bad sentiment of humanity. None
except those who appeal to mans
honor, to mans patriotism, to mans love
of every part of our glorious country
! Applause.
My fellow-citizens: The work does not
stop tonight 1t goes on for yet another
month. believe we follow the leader
ship Of chieftain worthy to be followed.
We follow man who has shown in his
past record, that he is true reformer
believe that Gov. Tilden is worthy OF
your support and of mine. There is
nothing in the history of the Democracy
Of Indiana of which | am prouder than
this fact. Gov. Tilden was not the first
choice of the Indiana Democracy for the
Presidency. Applause. But when
in national convention the Democracy of
every section united upon him as the best
and most available candidate, then the
Indiana Democracy looked the question
squarely in the face, and they came up
together, shoulder to shoulder, step to
step, and they have under his leadership
so far as it was felt in the State contest,
they have made the most sublime, deter
mined and grand contest for the right
that has ever been made in my opinion
in the politics of the world. Applause.

&. Wiley Wells.

From the Santa Rosa (Cal.) Democrat.
One G.. Wiley Wells, a member Of
Congress from Mississippi, has been for
some weeks past engaged in the business
of making radical harangues in Califor-
MIA, and villifying and slandering the
people of Mississippi. That the people
of this State may know who this Hon.
G. Wiley Wells is, we give the following
letter, written to Judge Porter, of this
city, by Major Kinloch Falconer, present
Adjutant-General Of Mississippi, which
we are permitted to publish :
Jackson, Miss Sept. 26, 1876.
Capt. ". W. Porter, Santa Rosa, Cal.
My DEAR CAPT: send you, by to-day S
mail, copy of last weeks CLARION, con-
taiuing two articles in relation to u. Wiley
Wells. The statements made in the longer
of the two articles, headed: &C. Wiley
Wells in California; are true OF NY OWN
KNOWLEDGE.
We In Mississippi expect to be misrepre.
sented and slandered by the professional
Republican orator; but we looked for better
tedtment from a man who 'has occupied
tie political position OF this willy Wells.
He acted with the Democratic party in the
canvass of 1875, aud was elected to Congress
by Democratic votes. lie now ISLANDERS the
Democracy OF Mississippi solely to be right
on the record" with Hayes, in the event of
bis election.
Wells course in California has convinced
me of one thing that the Republicans only
hope of success is to array the people of the
North against those of the South by exct-
ing SECTIONAL prejudice, and that they have
selected their most INSCRIPTIONS tools to
carry out the programme, The party is re-
duced to desperate strait when il has only
that to rely upon.
You know Inc personally, aud you know
Would not misrepresent. And you know
speak the truth when | tell you that G.
Wiley Wells speeches in California, in re-
gard to the South, are tissue of inbound
ed malicious lies, from beginning to end
And lspeak the further truth: when | tell
YOU that the REPUBLICANS of Mississippi re-
gard this same Slanderer, Wells! as a very
bad, unsrupuous, dishon0rable man. The
people OF this State are as orderly, as quiet,
as law-abiding as those of any State in the
Union, and this paid slanderer knowsit.
Yours truly,
kINLoCH FALCoNER
Ard this immaculate member of Con
gress is now telling Californians how
they should vote; and villifying and
