Editor Morning Mews :
We are on the eve of the most impor
tant election ever held in Florida, and it
is of vital importance that we should
secure the next Legislature, or at least
combine against the present rascally,
thieving administration. The next Leg
islature will have the bond question be
fore them, and if the Stearns administra
tion is sustained and his perjured tools of
judged confirmed or permitted to go on
we shall be irretrievably saddled with
a ruinous debt. Moreover, it has to ap
portion the State afresh, and the. pres
ent Radical counties will be given two
more representatives, (taken from ns
elsewhere), and we shaH be, for an in
definite time, reduced to the condition
of South Carolina and Mississippi, with
no prospect of redemption. But we
have it in our power to elect a majority
of the Legislature; yet our friends our
misled, as I am advised, in various parts
of the State, and as I know to be the case
here, to support the nominees of the
Stearns-Dennis faction of the Radical
party for the Legislature, and they will
assist to elect General Finley or to defeat
Walls for Congress. It makes less differ
ence here than elsewhere, for I think
they will be defeated at any point of
view. The object of the Dennis-Steams
faction is to secure the Legislature for
the purposes mentioned, and also to elect
Steams to the United States Senate,
Dennis to be elected President of the
Senate, who will then succeed the acting
Governor Stearns as Governor. So we
lose both the Senator and those great all-
important measures I have mentioned to
secure a member of Congress. The advo

to an act of Congress approved February

following questions, to-wit:
First—Is it an offense against the
United States of America for any person
within a State, by means of threat or
threats depriving a person of employment
or occupation, or ejecting such person
from rented house, lands or other prop
erty, or by bribes to prevent, hinder,
control or intimidate any person from
exercising the right of suffrage, if such
person be a person to whom the right
of suffrage is secured by the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States?
Second—It is an offense against said
United States for two or more persons to
conspire together to deprive any citizen •
of the right to vote on account of his
race?
Third—Is it an offense against said
United States for two or more persons to
conspire together to prevent, hinder,
control or intimidate any person from
exercising, or in exercising, right of snf-
fatal burning of a cotton hill.

Spirits Take Possession of a Dying Body*
A Singular Phenomenon.
ALFRED L. HARTRIDGE;
SECURITY
EXCHANGE BROKER,
No 8 BattersDy Building-,
SAVANNAH, ..... ... GA
octlS-Om
[From the Spiritualist Scientist, Boston.]
A most remarkable phenomenon has
recently occurred at Lawrence. Susie
M. Smith, a young lady about seventeen
years of age, daughter of Dr. Greenleaf
Smith, after a short illness, died Wednes
day, September 9th, at six o’clock in the
evening. And from this time until Friday
at twelve ■ o’clock, the body was appar
ently possessed in part by other spirits.
On Wednesday, the day of her death,
she said: “Father, I have attended my
own funeral.” She described it as very
real, declared herself perfectly conscious
of what she was saying, and also spoke
of singing and gave the names of hymns
she had heard.
She continued rational during the day,
when finally, about six o’clock, she passed
into violent spasms; a gradual paleness
overspread her face from the forehead;
she became speechless, closed her eyes,
and, to the senses of those about her bed
side, life was extinct. Indeed, there
seemed to be no question about it. Our
readers are aware how a loving heart re
fuses to believe its companion has de
parted this life, how it hopes against
hope almost to the tomb. So with the
father, mother, brother and sister
gathered around this bedside. The body
had the unmistakable death-damp on its
face.
Many minutes had elapsed, when sud
denly to the indescribable surprise of all
in the room, came a deep gruff voice, the
parted and moving lips of the body in
dicating its whereabouts, which said;
“bub both of heb asms as eaed as you
CAN.”
Without a second bidding, and recov
ering from their surprise, the command
was obeyed, when came a second voice,
“Raise her up in end.” This being only
partly understood, brought the heavy
voice to say, “Raise her up in end—
you’re deaf, ain’t yon ?” Up came the
body, it breathed naturally, but did not
speak for a few moments.
Dr. Smith now sat behind the body
holding it up, when it again spoke, in
another voice, “If I could move her legs
around so that I could set her up on the
foot-board, she’d be all right.” The
doctor was preparing to carry this sug
gestion into effect, when he, with the
body, was actually taken—lifted from
their positions together—and both placed
upon the foot-board by some unseen
power.
cates of the conspiracy to barter away our
rights here, say that if the Conservative
party can get Congress, the United States
will protect us against State misrule. I
deny it in toto. I have, all my life, been
an active member of the Democratic par
ty, and I do not believe that it would in
terfere with State affairs even when justi
fied, so damnably State rights have they
always been. The Stearns-Dennis fac
tion of the Radical party are of the
most thieving and corrupt of the
oarpet-bag element m the South, only
equalled by those in South Carolina, and
are bow, as in your State, the hire
lings of the fraudulent bondholders to
the extent of $4,000,000, which we Shall
be inflicted with, in addition to their mis
rule. They have not even got “the hon
or” proverbial “amongst thieves.” Finley
will get the certificate of election, wheth
er elected or not; for those mean carpet
baggers, like elsewhere, intend to monop
olize the influence or patronage of the
United States administration, and if they
oannot have a M. C. in their ring, “would
prefer the worst rebel,” at least in their
way. I have, I believe, private reliable
information on that score, and it will
serve Walls right to be made to dance at-
tendance on Congress, as he made Ni-
black, to within ten days of the expira-
ion of the Congress to which he (Niblack)
was elected, and by his (W.’s) pseudo
friends.
Your paper has the most circulation,
and has (deservedly) the most influence of
any paper that circulates in the State, and
you can servo the whole people and our
party at the same time by ventilating
this nefarious (or ill-advised) scheme,
by advising them, under ail circum
stances, to votr against the Stiafhs'-Dgn-
nis nominees, as the most dangerous
and corrupt faction in the county. Vote
for the opposition—your friends all the
time—and. never for the others. It is too
late for them to compromise amongst
themselves, and any way, they will not do
it. We have got them if we are true to
ourselves. Recommend the same course
that you did in Georgia, and we shall be
disenthralled. Let me implore you to do
this.
I was a member of the Convention that
nominated Gen.Finley,(my second choice,
Bullock my first choice,) who has always
been my friend, as I am the same to
wards him. It will give me the greatest
satisfaction to see him elected, but not
by sacrificing the State, and leaving us
the prey of those cormorants and thieves
that control matters here now. I am
spoken to, and written to, to ask you to
advise our friends to take the course I
recommend. As to the other Congres
sional Districts, it would apply all the
same; you cannot err, if you desire, as I
know you do, our good and welfare.

PIRACY IN CHINESE WATERS.
A Steamer Seized and the Officers Mar«
dered—Jinny Other Persons Killed—Ex-
citemenl at JIacao.
[Macao (Aug. 23) Correspondence of Japan,
Yokohama, Mail.]
A terrible tragedy occurred last even
ing pn board the steamer Spark, on its
voyage from Canton to Macao. Chinese
pjrates, who had embarked as passengers,
made an onslaught on the crew and pas
sengers near Bocca Tigris, murdered the
captain, mate and purser, and wounded,
most dangerously, the only European pas
senger and the whole crew.
^5ter the pirates had been in possession
of the steamer for six hours, a junk came
over from the shore to take them and
their booty. The Chinese engineers
brought the steamer over to Macao,
where it arrived at 12:30 this morning.
Viscount San Januario immediately sent
the gunboat Cnmoens to scour the Can
ton river, and is taking all the necessary
measures. The town is in a state of ex
citement and every one is horrified.
DETAILS OF THE BLOODY DEED.
The details of the bloody deed go to
show that $7,000, in notes of the Hong
Kong banks and in silver, were taken
from the purser. The incentive to the
outrage is supposed to have arisen in a
rumor to the effect that a gambling house
proprietor was going down to Macao from
Canton in the Spark, with $18,000 in his
possession. Tins appears to have been
a false report; but that the pirates had
belief in its accuracy is borne out by the
fact that they ransacked and rifled the
luggage of all the passengers, whom they
forced below and kept there, battening
the hatches. The account that Captain
Brady and the other murdered men went
below to quell a faettious row among the
passengers is correct. The pirates were
more than twenty in number, and took
passage at Canton, as at first stated
They got up a disturbance by fighting
with sticks. Tho mate went down to
part them, when the men assaulted him.
He called the captain, who also went
down.
A BRAVE DEFENCE IN THE MIDST OF A TER
RIBLE SCENE.
The pirates fired at Capt. Brady, one
bnllet striking him in the shoulder. He
ran to the upper deck, got a revolver and
returned below. He then attempted to
fire on the pirates, bat his weapon re
peatedly missed fire. The unfortunate
captain was thus entirely at the mercy of
his assailants, and a fierce onslaught was
made upon him. One of the pirates
stabbed him in the knee; another cut him
on the wrist with a sword; others shot
him, and some again speared him. There
were thirty-two wounds upon his body
when found. On the lower part of the
back was a serious wound which probably
proved fatal, and having severed the spi
nal column must have at once disabled
him. Capt. Carroll describes the scene
on board the Spark as horrible. The
decks were covered with blood. Brady
was found in his cabin, dead, lying on
the floor with one arm raised in air, hffs
whole body amass of wounds and satu
rated with gore. Mr. Mundy was on the
foredeck, fearfully wounded and still in
sensible.

Section 1. Ec it ordained by the Mayor and

ordained by the authority of the tone, That it
shall not be lawful hereafter for any Hester, Cap
tain or Commander of anystemn or sailing vessel
arriving in the harbor of Savannah to land, or
permit to be landed, any steerage passenger, or
other person likely, as a pauper, to become a
charge on said city, without permission from the
Mayor or acting Mayor of said city, and that far
a violation of the foregoing provision, such Mas
ter, Captain or Commander shall be liable, on
conviction before the Police Court, to a line of
twenty-five dollars for every such steerage or
pauper passenger so landed, as aforesaid; but
ITVIIE Proprietor, having completed the neces-
I sary additions and improvements, can now
(ffer to his guests all the comforts to be obtained
tt other Hotels at less than
tion, or, I should rather say, there is in
such cases no authority in the Courts of
the United States to assume any jurisdic
tion under the laws passed, or which
might be passed, to meet the contingency
of a State denying to any persons within
its jurisdiction the equal protection of its
aws.”
After answering the questions Judge
Ballard adds further observations in the
same direction, in the course of which he
says: “This court has no jurisdiction,and
Congress has not attempted to confer on
it the jurisdiction to punish ordinary
crimes, such as murder, arson, assault
and batteries, whether committed against
black or white persons, when they ore
induced by the usual motives, such as
hatred, evil passions and revenge, which
ordinarily provoke crime. It has juris
diction of such offences only when com
mitted in places subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States, or when
committed for the motive of depriving
some person, on account of his race or
color, of his right to vote, as I have be
fore pointed out. It is impossible to
maintain that a conspiracy of two or
more persons to injure, beat, wound or
kill a white or black man, or that the
actual beating, injuring, wounding or
killing of a white or black man by any
person or any number of persons,
whether in disguise or openly on the
public highways or on private prem-
parently again as dead as could possibly
be.
A few moments elapsed—the doubt was
settling into a certainty—when a mild
voice opened a conversation which con
tinued three hours; during this time it
acknowledged that the body had been

As your papy: has a wide circulation in
our State, I will inform your readers what
we are doing in this county. We are
wide awoke, and we are at work. We are,
probably, os well organized as any county
in the State. We have quite a number of
men in our county who are well informed
on the subject of our grievances, and they
are stamping the county and giving the
alarm. The Conservatives of this county
have nominated Dan McAlpin for the
Legislating 1 . Mr. McAlpin is a young

for is to get a few white votes to weaken

hold office under Radical rule, and thir
teen negroes nominated Mr. Allen. Mr.
Allen says he is the people’s candidate. I

"We present on page 69 a report of a

than that of spirits controlling a dying—
some might have said a dead—body. There
is another instance on record somewhat
similar. It occurred some forty years
ago, but it has gone the rounds of the
press, at inteivals, several times since
that period; we remember it faintly as
follows: A sailor on a man-of-war, the
worst type of an unruly fellow, a drunk

trollable, was taken sick and died. The
surgeon bad pronounced him dead; he
was laid out, and the crew had gathered

preached a most excellent sermon of

of whioh the astonished surgeon and

and listened, thoroughly surprised and
