1t is said that his massive features showed no
trace of emotion during the ceremony, as if
neither the honors OF the University, nor the
noisy demonstrations OF the students, nor the
hearty applause of the audience affected him.
But Doctor Darwin, rs we must hereafter
call him, is no Stole, to those who have read
his writings, but warm-heaTtcd lover and
observer of nature. Simply as a naturalist,
apart from the theories by which his name
is most widely known, he is entitled
to the highest rank. 1t has been said,
with truth, that much Of the opposition to his
doctrine has come from people who have never
read his books. Modesty in putting forth lis
views is the prevailing Characteristic Of his
writings. Time will tell the value Of his
theories better than either the applause or the
detraction Of the present day. If he has con-
ferred no other benefit upon science, he has ut
least served it well by long, varied, and acute
observations. Be his theories right or wrong,
they have answered as no others did before
to- give direction and precision to their lines of
research, and to give an impulse to the study
Of natural history that has helped to raise it
in this century to an equal rank with its sister
sciences.

POLITICAL NOTES.

This is too large country to be led BY the noseby

The assurance that the President will veto any

Viewed in almost any light, the comforting
of the degree of Doctor of Civil Law, upon
Charles Robert Darwin, by Cambridge Uni
versity, is a remarkable event. The barbaric
youth of the University signalized the occasion
by more than their usual indulgence IN rowdy
pranks, and capped the climax of such per-
formances by lowering from the ceiling, dur

in America7 How the Old World would have
bIushed for us! But although the prank
of those ill-mannered boys was inexcus-
able, it doubtless symboized the thought
that was uppermost in the minds of the Illus
trous assemblage that thronged the hail. On
the one hand, the dignitaries of the college

1t is interesting to know. as is shown 10y the
nearly completed official returns, summarized
elsewhere, that Mr.. OlcOtt is the only Demo
cratic candidate who is known to have carried
this State at the late election though exact
returns will probably place Mr.. Seymour along
side of him. Mr.. Ocott's majority is 1900, and
Mr.. SeymOur's, if he have one, will be smaller.
All the rest of the Democratic candidates will
be minority officers, Mr.. Beach's plurality being
but 10, sos, and Mr.. SchOonmakers but 9,949,
as against 1885 for Mr.. Olcott, and 90
76j for Mr.. Seymour. Mr. Mackin stands
between the head and tal of the ticket, with
a plurality of u, 166. This curious result is
differently interpreted. Those who haye always
been anxious to encourage the corrupt element
in the Democratic party, looking more to
narrow party interest than to the broader
question OF having honest government. which
ever party Is III power, insist that all this dis
elimination has been effected by the German split
ticket, and that it does not prove any scratching
by respectable Democrats of the names on the
ticket which were known to represent the dis
reputable elements in the party. Undoubtedly
the German organization accomplished some
thing. though 1t made much smaller demon
stratiOn than was expected; but the theory
that the Germans did it all, or even the
greater part of it, is sufficiently dsproved by
the fact that Mr. Mackin, who, like Messrs. Beach
and Schoonmaker, was left off the Ger
man ticket, but is Tilden man, received
10000 votes more than SchOOnmalSer, and
over 5000 more than Beach Perhaps also the
fact that Mr.. Olcott ran 1000 votes ahead
of Mr.. Beach Ill Erie County, somewhat
beyond Mr.. Ottendorfer's jurisdiction. may
mean something. There will be theories and
theories, but one thing is clear-that a good
number of respectable Democrats took THE
TRIBUNE's advice, and scratched Beach and
Schoonmaker. 1t was something to prove that
a Democrat can scratch his ticket, when it is
made by such gathering as the Albany Con-
ventiOn.

Another victory has been gained by the
silver inhatonists, in reporting to the Senate,
by the aid Of Senator Wallace, the Bland bill.
Though the free-coinage provision has been
stricken out, the bill is pretty much the
same bill it was-a measure OF imitation,
an act of bad faith. What helps to
make the situation grave is the fact that
there seems to be no expectation i'll Washing
ton that the Senate will refuse to pass
the bill. The Presidents veto seems to
he all that stands in the way. This
there is good reason to believe will
be forthcoming, for while the President has
made no direct announcement of his position,
the statements of his advisers leave little
doubt of his emphatic dsapproval of certain
features of the bill. But it is still more un-
fortunate now than before that there should
he any doubt in the minds of the people as to
his views on this vital issue.

General Mcclellan is fairly on the course for
1850. The ardent Democratic orator who
preceded him the other night openly ayOwed
his hope that the present Govenor-elect of
New-Jersey might again head the National
Democratic ticket, and the General himself
wished it TO be distinctly understood that he
was friend Of the worliing-classes." This
looks well both for the General and the Re-
publican party. When the Presidency Is IN
question, General Mcclellan Is one OF the
easiest men to nominate, and one OF the hard

Bonapartist Cabinet now forming, will receive
scant tolerance from the Chamber, which al
ready contemplates denouncing it in case it
retards the electoral nquily. The attitude of the
Senate is unsatisfactory, but as the anti-Re-
pubicans have had only majority of twenty
two in The recent votes on Ministerial response

tive Senators will discern the futility of serving
a lost cause. Until Gambetta's terms of peace
