We are rapidly getting in election return*.
Greeley's majority is increasing. We will
give no more special .reterns, bat will in a
day or two give the correct table of the re
form In the whole State.
Ninciy-seven counties give Greeley a ma

The probabilities are that Gen. Wright baa
defeated Wbitcly. Whitely has an actual ma
jority of a few votes, hot there U no doubt
of palpable and prinut fae'e irregularities and
fraud that will put Wright in.
The first District.
The contest in the First District is very
close. Out of nineteen counties the Savan
nah News says Rawls has 2,ICO majority in
eleven and Sloan 2,117 in eight. This gives
Sloan lint eleven majority In the nineteen
counties. It is impossible to tell the remit,

been appointed the General Western Agent
of the Great Southern Freight Line. Mr.

Georgia ftfate College at Agriculture
and mechitnlc Arts,
From a circular received, we see that the
Slate College has a faculty of ten professors
an I instructors and one hundred and tweniy-
tdx student*; that it ofTers six separate
.-ourses of study in agriculture, engineering,
ptncticnl chemistry, etc., and has established
a chemical lahratory for instruction in prac
tical chemistry. Scholarships giving free tui
tion are granted for each member of the
House of Representatives.
I)r. Pendleton, well known to the people
of Georgia and the South, is the Professor of
Agriculture and Horticulture.
It is designed, the circular states, when the
resources will permit, to provide commodious
laltoralorics and thoroughly equip them with
modern apparatus; to provide an experimen
tal farm and furnish it with improved agri
cultural implements; to establish a planl-
bouae for illustrations in tiotany; to place in
the industrial museum models of implements
and machines, pnalucts of agriruUnrc. of
manufacture and the mechanic ana gener
ally; and to provide for the students a read
ing-room with reviews, magazines and the
prominent agricultural journals.
Akerman.
The following incident of the immaculate
Akerman will prove interesting to his many
friends and admirers. We take it from the
Gallon Citizen. This raper says that the
crowd was very small. But to the tale:
lie seemed to t*> more gratified with his
elf rt than snv of his hearers, and while
thus musing »ml passing down the steps of
the courthouse, he was accosted by a gen
tleman, in rather an unfriendly tone, as
follows: “You O—il d—ntheif, Ionght to
kill you right here." Amos’ frame almost
rent asunder with quivering. Borne of
the bystanders inquired the cause of
the harsh language, and were informed that
the min had once been so unfortunate as to
lie charged with the crime of murder, anil
had engaged the services of Akerman to de
fend him, and had paid him a retainer of i ne
thousand dollars Amos thereupon, scenting
that morh In hand, accepted a fee from the
prosecutor and appeared upon the State's
side at the trid. No restitution was
ever 1 made of the one thousand
dollars, and the other day, when
accosted about if, he simply said to the gen
tleman. "Let us forget these old thine*." No
person's nerve* will hardly be shocked at this
information : but if they are, the gentleman
thus treated lives in the city of Dalton, a
living witness to the fact and a respectable
citizen, by whom all that we have said Cain
Ik substantiated. UesUtution tinder God's
law is never satisfied with a “let us forget
these old things.”

The Augusta Chronicle gives the vote • for
Congressman in the 8lh Congressional Dis
trict. It is all official bnt the vote of Talia
ferro.
Wright, the elected Democratic candidate,
received 9.07" votes, DuBose 1,-lW, and Clsv-
ton 6,230. The total vote was 17,101.
Wright’s majority over Clayton is 3,443, over
DuBose 8,413, and over both 2,183.
By comparing the vote cast with previous
votes in the same di»trict,we see that at Gov
ernor Sndth's election the whole vote stood
l*,239 t of which Smith received 13,850, and
Wruker 4,383. Adding Wright's and Dn
Bose's votes, wc find the Democratic vote to
have fallen off from 13.856 to V',973, or 2.92:!.
The Radical vote increased front 4,383 to
6,230 or 1,847.
The victory is a very flattering one to Gen
eral Wright. The defeat of General Du-
llosc was right, under the circumstances, and
it is a crashing one. We opposed him re
gretfully ; but from a sense of duty. He is
a fine young fellow, and had a bright politi
cal future before him. He has made a grave
mistake; but it has brought its own penalty.
We are convinced that he acted under an
outside in .Inert ec, and not from his own voli-
:i m.-and sacrificed himself to a spirit of
fidelity to ill-judged friends, cruelly disre
gardful of his interests

Charleston, S. C, November 3,1872.
Editor* Constitution: We left Orange
burg on Thursday last on board the cars
the South Carolina Railroad en route
for this city. This road and the Georgia
Road are among the best managed roads
in the South. The conductors are courteous
and attentive; cars fiaely famished and well
adapted to comfort, which speaks well for
the officers in charge. The former road is
much traveled by merchants from every sec
tion of the Sou’ll, going North to purchase
goods, ua il makes close connection with the
Adger and Iron Lice of steamers running to
New York—the finest and f as test vessels on
the coast.
Af f er & ride of about four hours we reached
the “Citt^y the Sea” and as we entered
THE DEPOT, -
The din and confusion that ensued, was
almost deafening. Hackrnen, omnibus-dri
vers, and hotel porter?, were standing out
side the railing pushing and elbowing each
other, and shouting at the top of their voices:
“Fine hack, sir l” “Hab a private can Lure,
sahf “Dia way to de P&villion Hotel!'’
Here’s your Charleston Hotel omnibus!”
New York steamer d is side!” We were glad
when this Babel was left far behind us, and
we were being rapidly whirled down King
street towards our present destination.
This morning we visited the “White Point
Garden,” or as it is more familiarly known
THE BATTBnY,
which whs deserted, wirli the exception of
some nurses and their charges. Saturday
afternoon, however, it is usually crowded
with pleasure-seek era and sight seers. The

with all kinds of vessels; among
them the revenue cutter “Racer,** a

Snatches of song floated to us as we leaned
over the railing, watching the ebbing tide as
it splashed against the rocks at the base of
the battery. Away ofl in the* distance, but
dainty visible, lav Fort Sumter, Morris

The Atlanta correspondent of the Savan

It presents a most disgraceful fact:
There is one fact which I may mention,
upun the authority of a leading Democrat
from one of the Cherokee counties, viz: that
manv persons along the line of Sherman*.',
march, between the Tennessee and Chatta
hoochee llivirs, have voted for Grant, or
r»ayed away from the polls, in the hope that,
if re-elected, he will favor the payment of
their claims for property taken or destroyed
by the Federal troops! Some Democrats
in those o unties through which the great
projected canal will j>ass, were also in
fluenced by the expectation that Grant can
be relied upon to give bis influence in behalf
of that important enterprise.
jy One of our Straight friends remarked
to ua the other day while in Atlanta that the

purpose—elected Grant, and that he should
retire from politics, at least for the next four

Tire Largest Bee Hive in tiik World
In Los Angeles county, on the eastern slope
of the San Franci**co range of mountains,
and in the immediate vicinity of the Li
ing Petroleum company’s oil region, there u
the most wonderful collection of wild heney
in existence. The hive is looted in a rift,
which penetrates the rock to the depth of
probably 160 feet. The orifice is 30 fwt long
and 17 feet wide; four passages. This rift
was discovered to be the abiding place of
swarm of bees, t.ml is represented as coniin.
out in a nearly solid column one foot in di
ameter. Certain patties have endeavored tc
descend to the immense store of honey col
lected by these bees, but were invariably
driven back, and one man lost his life in the
effort Others have, at the expense of much
Inter and money, built a scaffold 125 feet
high, in the hope of reaching a place whence
they could tun a drift into the rock, ami ex
tract its well-hoarded sweets, but finally
ceased their work. Within lour years t
bees have added not less than fifteen f»*ct
depth to their treasure, as ascertained by ac
tual measurement, and it is thought tlut
the present lime there cannot be le»»s than
eight or ten ’ous of honey in the rock. A
man named B. Brophy lives in a cabin not
far from the spot, and obtained, from the
melting of the honey by the sun's heat,
enough for his family requirements. All
through that region immense stores of wild
honey are found in trees, in the rocks, neatly
every place where its industrious manufac
turers think of—for bees feem to think—that
it will be secure. They consume a very small
proportion, as the climate enable them

year, and flowers of some sort are always irr

From JanlasIL-m! Paps*- on Death ]
Most persons seem anxious to know if * hey
are going to die—not because they wish
make physical preparations, but that th< _
may arrange their m vteri *1 affairs, give final
directions for the disposal of their effects
their remains. Again and again have I Ik*
asked by the wasted wretches in prison : “Do
you think I am a gone case, Doctor ? 1\
not afraid to die, but I want to know.”
I have found, particularly at Salisbury,
that material comfort is the thing longed for
by the dying. In their last hour in en and
women want physical rest and ease above
aught else; and I know instances in wh
the replies of persons near the'»r dissoluti
were in such sharp contract to inquiries m ide
of them as to become positively grotesque.
I was present when aa acquaintance, hav
ing been struck down in the streets Ly a fall
icg chimney, was carried home in a dying
slate. As as he had recovered co
sciousncis, his wife, half frantic with tern
leaned over the sofa oa which he lay, and
said. “Oh, my ffarling, do you really love
we?” The response was, “Yes, if you will
pull off my b.vits,” and these were his last
words. A gentleman, long ill of a wasting
fever, had reached that condi;ion of rest which
generally heralds the great transformation.
Ilis betrothed, who had devotedly nursed
him. said: “Dearest, do you die h.^ppy ?” “I
should,” was the answer, “if that infernal
fly wouldn’t bother me,” and spoke no more
“Wonldn’t you like to see your father?” in
quired a doting mother of nerson as his life
was ebbing fast. “Of course I should, but
I’d rather"have my f;-.ce washed.” Such
words, apparently harsh and unfeeling, come
from persons of natural sensibility and ten
Cottan-lta. 10.
The receipts this week are 134,000 bales—
29.000 more than last year, and 2,000 more*
than two years since. It is likely the receipts
for next week will be about 125,000 bales,
compared with 101,000 last year, and 122,000
the year before; and the receipts at the in
terior towns 47,000 bales, compared with
33.000 last year, and 46,000 the year before.
This week the weather has been dear,
cool and windy for three days, and cloudy
four days, with light rains on three days.
The thermometer has averaged 61 degrees
at noon. The indications are that we shall
have a killing frost and plenty of ice daring
next week.
Thus fur the crop has been seriously dam
aged cither by worms or frost in a large por
tion of the country. About the first of Sep
tember the army worm destroyed the vitality
of all the cotton about as far North as 32 de
grees of latitude, which region embraces all
of Florida, one-third of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, and half of Louisiana. A
large portion of the cotton growing region of
Texas is embraced in this belt; but it is so
far west the worms did but little damage ex
cept in a few counties on the coast. Then,
on the 15tii of October, there fell a killing
frost as far South as 33 1-2 degrees of lati
tude. This killed all cotton in Virginia and
North Carolina, half in South Carolina, one-
third in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
all in Tennessee and Arkansas and some
in portions of Texas. This damage by
worms and frost we estimate at fully 759,000
bales.
There is still a belt between the degrees of
latitude mentioned, about one hundred miles
wide, where the cotton in one-half of the
fields is still growing and maturing. This, no
doubt, will be entirely killed by the frost next
week. Our estimate is that if the worms had
not come thia year, and frost had not come
until December 1st, the crop would have
reached nearly 4,500,000 boles. The blight
or rust did not do the damage reported, and
probably will not amount to over 150,000
bales. This leaves the crop about oar esti
mate of last week.
The receipts this week, although largely in
excess of our estimate, are only about right,
compared with a month past. During the
month of October the excess of receipts
over last year, same time, were 24 per
«t is ^ nearly imperceptible from _ land^ent, just what this week Las been. This
increase carried on until the end of tho cot
ton year, will make the crop 3,637,000 bales.
Our readers can judge for themselves whether
the circumstances this year and last, for Oc
tober, are the same. The principal excess of
receipts^^heei^LdavAnnah and New Or
leans ; it is Hcely the extremely early
season, caused by drought and worms, has
brought the crop forward at least 4 per cent,
faster than last^year, during the nmnth of
October. The receipts at tlm interior ports
seem to have reached their maximum
Fort Sumter never has been repaired,,
although we think an appropriation wn3 made
by Congress for that purpose. Two or three
enormously large guns, however, have been
mounted upon the ruins, and there is also a
light-house here.*Your readers can imagine
how large the guns are when they made a
cargo Jpr a Jprge schooner. Poor old Fort
Moultrie entirely ruined. The officers’
quarters are rotted down, and the parade
ground grownup in weeds and covered with
rubbish. The place i3 taken care of by a

“JIM island,”
as it Is called by the negroes, one of the
strongholds oLthe “8oa Island” darkeys, who
speak a florae lingo, and are almost as wild
os the native African. Still they can vote, and
invariably drive any unfortunate conserva
tive—white or black—who attempts to exer
cise the franchise away from the polls, TRid
sometimes off tho island. On our left, close
at hand lay
THE WHARVES,
at whose sides ships of almost every nation
were loading and unloading, the majority of
them being filled with cotton for Great Brit
ain and other foreign ports. At the steamer

these sounds adown the streets, every fifteen

they awake in the heart of every true
Charlestonian!
There is one feature abont Charleston

NEGRO POLICEMEN
everywhere visible. The police force here
consist chiefly of negroes. But they are
generally very well behaved towards prison
ers and not at all disposed to be overbearing.
As the pay is poor they make as good “guar

conld be had at the s.’.mc price. The citizens
seem to think as a matter of course that they

TIIE AMUSEMENT SEASON
lias not fully opened yet—very few troupes
having visited the city so far. Last week the
Pomcroy-Snedair Opera Company, who will
visit your city soon, gave a series of enter
tainments at the Academy of Music, and we
believe Were well patronized. The first part
of this week Mrs. D. P. Bowers performed
there for three nights, and Harry Mac&rthy
and troupe are now finishing the week.
Hurry is as lively and entertaining os ever,
and his troupe is a first-class one.
The weather at present is delightful, and
the health of the city remarkably g«w>d—but
few deaths, and those mostly of children.
As we leave here on Monday our next let

No subject hat of late taken deeper hold
on the public-mind than Spiritualism. Re
cently, in Hfraffork city, the (moot aston
ishing testa nINbeen applied, without suc-
coss, to dUcovetJJy whit agency, other than
the one assigned; a Hr. W. H. Homier pro
duced what he calls Spirit Photographs. The
best experts of the country, in the art of pho
tography, acknowledged their defeat, and
Humler, for tbonime, at least, is master of
the field.
The writer of this paper docs not affirm
his belief in spiritual agency as applied to
holography, ndr on the other hand, does lie
om the multitude in hastily denouncing what
he has not the penetration to understand or
account for. .
The fact is, welive by mystery. All agents
baffle our intim&y, and few facts known to
ns at nil, are sufficiently known to warrant
dogmatism in any department of science and
economy.*
The following account furnishes the whole
of the writer’s acquaintance with Spiritual
ism, and if it serras the purpose of entertain

solved to visita celebrated medium,
for the purpose of testiug bis powers, and for
an evening’s experience with the so-called
mysteries and wonders of Spiritualism. I
had heard much favorable to the personal
character and remarkable developments of
the medium whom I proposed to visit and
that, if from any cue. I could from him gain
the; information I sought.
After a uussMsf several hours, I found
myself at the of a large house, and
was about to pull the bell, when it suddenly
opened, and a finedpoking gentleman, proba
bly thirty yeais onge, made bis appearance.
Withont introduction, he extended his baud,
and brusquely and, as I thought, with a
frank abruptness, said, “Good day, sir, I am
delighted to see you. I have been expecting
you for an boar."?'
As I bad never teen the gentleman before,
I was naturally qrpriaed a; this greeting,
and hesitated how .to respond to his frank
and cordial salutation. Looking iuto his
face, I thought I saw honesty stamped upon
every feature, and, taking the profiered hand,
I entered with him into the house.
The room into which he led me was small,
with an ordinary rfibnd mahogany table in
the center, covered with writing materials,
and surrounded with chairs, fmmediatcly
upon being seated, rappings were heard
throughout the room—on the table, under the
table, at my feet, under my chair, on the ceil

room the mysterious raps reported them
selves. Though somewhat abashed and dis

New York this' week hiTbeen on harobeen 1«« contemplating a visit
muck depressed, wjtha light demand, small
sales, and a decline in price of 1-2 cent a
pound. This has been due to very large re
ceipts, and a natural reaction from the ac
tivity of last week. Although the principal
reason of the decline everywhere has been
that ajmost every one, believing it must go
dbwn, wouflhnbt buy. They cannot put off
^buyfag long, at this time of the year, and it
% likely we will have a more active market
very soon; but the price wil^je^pnQ upon
holder?: If they demand good prices they
pita get them :bu! iKthey get scared, buyprs
■wHl pay £& litOT «as possible^ for the cptlon
" they will be compelled to huve. Liverpool
has been dull, with small sales all the week
and Manchester spinners have again reduced
their stocks to about 75,000 bales, compared
with 200,000 same time lost year.
For the past lour years the stocks of cotton
at Liverpool have been counted only at regu
lar intervals, last of June and December,
and that has given speculators a great
advantage, as they could add to or subtract
from the sales and make them appear .large
or small as suite I their purpose to raise or de
press prices. Last year the sales reported at
Liverpool for November and December were
very large, and, as a consequence, when the
stock was counted at the end of December it
was found to be over 84,000 bales, 59,000 of
which was American. To prevent this fraud
the slock has been counted this week and
found to be over 32,000 bales, 27,000 of which
is American; so we know the very large sales
reported hist month were not correct, which
accounts for wliat many persons could not
understand, such large sales and so little rise
in price. One great • reason of the dullness
aud small sales iu New Orleans has been the
scarcity of steam freight room tor Liverpool.
Orders could not be filled because the cotton
could not be shipped. The amount on ship
board and engaged for shipment at that port
at this time is 20,000 bales for Liver
pool, 20,000 for Havre, 6,000 for
North Sea, 5,000 for Spain, 4,000 for
Turkey and 3,000 for Bremen. The exports
so far from New Orleans have been, for past
three years, as follows:
1STO 1871 187*
To Great Britain 01.000 42,0 » 4“ 000
To Continent 10,000 18,000 50,000
We do not intend to alter our estimate
every week, but may give different calcula
tions.
In the bureau’s last report they stated the
acreage was 13 per cent, more than last year,
and the condition 6 per cent, better; this
makes 19 per cent., which, added to last
year’s crop, would make this crop 3,540,000
bales. We have no doubt that the effect of
worms and drought has hastened picking, and
made this crop fully two weeks earlier than
last year.
The receipts for four weeks in November
have always been equal to the receipts for
September and October together. If this
should be so this year it would make the re
ceipts average 159,000 bales per week for No
vember. Our estimate is 131,000 per
week, is a totsl .for the month of 525,000
bales. We always suppose;! .the re
ceipts, as published by the associated press
in tae morning papers were the receipts as
they st(x>d at each port at 12 M. the day be
fore ; but as far as tiuvannah is concerned, we
were mistaken, as the receipts at that port
are not telegraphed to the pr^as until 24 hours
afterwards, thus giving tho Savannah mer
chant about 36 hours advantage, or from
Monday noon until Wednesday morning.
Whether all the ports are managed in the
same way we do not know. If they are, it
probably accounts for tome of the strange
freaks of the cotton market we have not been
able to understand, for in this fast age many
changes take_ place in thirty-six hours. The
receipts at New Orleans this year have been
more regular than we ever knew them. This
is accounted for by the fact of more railroads
and the cheaper rates of freights as compared
with steamboat, than formerly. The receipts
at that port now are 50 per cent, by railroad,
compared with 25 per cent, last year. This
probably accounts, in part, for the great ex
cess in receipts at that port
As to the future, we would advise our
nlanting friends to sell now all the cotton
thev intend to sell before Christmas. To
dealers we would say, we can see no profit in
selling short, and it may be too early to buy,
so it may be best to wait for further develop
ments.
nevertheless controlled my fancies, and em
braced a fmjTmomeflS of science to study, if
possible, tire character of the gentleman be
fore me.
As I have already - !®!, he was about thirty
years of age, of poifty form, crowned by a
shapely head and frontispiece, and looked
out of a dark searching pair of eyes. Alto
gether, he impressed lne with the ease and
and of which, as 1 afterwards had abundant
opportunity of discovering, the medium had
not the slightest knowledge.
There remained yet one more important
test A secret involving the character of a
third party was known only by my dead
friend and myself, and I immediately re
solved to penetrate, ir possible, this mystety,
by asking for a revelation of the facts in
volved. I propounded my question mental
ly, and requested that she would write the
answer in her own hand through the medi
um : as before, he seized the pencil, and care
lessly and rapidly wrote the secret out, with
out knowing a word of the same. It was
true.
For the time being, our conference with tho
spirits ended. Entering then into familiar
conversation with the medium, I learned
something of his most eventful life. I asked
him, among other questions, when he first felt
these spiritual impulses and impressions—in
short what made him a medium. He can
didly replied, “I h*vc been a medum from
cliilahood, and I am so from necessity. If
left to myself, I would not choose this voca
tion, but I am forced by day and by night by
powers oat of me, and as inexplicable to me
as to yourself, to perform the partWu see me
acting.”
If you have no objections, sir, I would
know your experience somewhat in detail”
“Not the slightest.” was his frank answer,
and inviting me to light a cigar, he threw
himself back in his chair, and, as nearly as I
can remember, in the following words re
lieved my curiosity:
“It is generally believed,” said he, “that
spiritualists are nothing more than deceivers
—persons who are given up to the follies and
vices of a corrupt world, and who are strangers
to the sweet and holy virtues of good charac
ter and domestic life. In short, that they are
fraternity of catchpennies, living upon the
credulity of the people. While I must admit
that we have among U9 characters of this
sort, who go from city to city giving public
.seances ana seeking thus to fill their pockets,
I nevertheless emphatically deoy that it is
true even of a respectable portion of our
members. As you seem to be a reasonable
lerson, I beg you to hear a page or two of my
ife, and judge,for yourself of the influence
by which a true spii itual mediumjis sometimes
beset.
‘As far back as I can remember, I was the
subject of spiritual manifestations. As I
grew to manhood and mingled with society,
they not only perplexed but annoyed, and
several times almost drove me to despair.
Thoughtful days and wakeful nights attested
my misery. 1 sought relief in the quiet
home circle; amid the gayeties of social life;
in the fields and woods; among books; and
in the Church of God—butiu all my pursuits,
in all places and under all circumstances, my
steps were followed and 1 was pressed into
the thankless aud unwilling service. My
sufferings at last had become so great as to
alarm my most intimate friends, and they
despaired not only for my reason but of life
itself. I was a walking skeleton. I could
not sleep. I was tormented by excruciating
nervous pains; in short, endured th^ffirrors
of perdition. At last, unable to WPl out
longer, I yielded myself to the straflge, mys
terious influences which seem to possess me,
and «in that act I found relief.
“Among my singular experiences was this,
that if I encountered one who suffered from
any cause whatever, I seemed to become, for
the time, a part of his being, and to realize
in my person all the anguish he endured. I
was ffven drawn to those whom I had never
seen and whom I knew nothing. This cu
rious sympathy has carried me to almost
every country in the world, in search of un
fortunate m*rsons, aid, in every instance, I
have founa relief only in administering relief
to them. On one occasion, I was suddenly
summoned, by jjiiritual influences, 1 *to sail
in tile first ship for CaUfornfa. I resisted
for days until my old agony threatened me,
when taking my trunk I started on a mission

Editors Constitution.: Having just teen our

instead of “under the shadows of the morn

A little further down for “under the hue,”
read “und^r the bine.”
Ag*iin, for “from brow to cheek,” render it
from “brow and cheek.”
Iifetead of “inside the gate,” it should be

Horeadilyassented." During thisconver
thjffifthe rap3 h.ul ceased, and the silence of
iwon was broken only by the interchange
of words. No sooner had I proposed busi
ness, however, than the raps began, with
greater vehemence, if possible, than before,
aud tbe table was suddenly lifted from the
floor and tipped intv n 'jf lAP- , »
“A friendly greeting,” said the medium,
from a delightful band of angels, who are
hero to enjoy with me an hour of your
society.”
“Your guardian angels,” continued he,“are
excessively fond of yon; they press upon
your chair; they hover about your head;
they shield you with their hands; they go
befiffc your steps; they weep when you are
sad; they shout when you arc cheerful; they
sing songs to yon in your dreams, and kiss
your eyelids in the early morning to awake
you to a peaceful life.”
“By what process,” I asked, “do you pro
fess to know these things ? ”
“I see them now,” answered the medium,
“tho room is filled with them; they greet you
with delight, am^sraile on me for your sake.”
Being somewhat at a loss how to begin the
investigation, 1 was relieved by the announce
ment that there were spirits present who
were exceedingly anxious to communicate
with me.
“Can you give me their namc3?” I asked.
“Certainly,” was his quick reply, and im
mediately taking up a pencil, aud wrote the
names of several persons whom,I had known
intimately in years gone by; among them the
name of one that sent a thrill of happy mem
ories through my heart. It was my mother.
“Ah,” thought I, “my mother will not de
ceive me. I shall certainly lie able to test
whether this be true or false.”
The medium laid the pencil down, and,
leaning back in bis chair, thoughtfully gazed
at me. Upon my inquiring the cause, he an
swered, “I Am looking at your mother; she
stands behind your chair leaning lovingly
and confidingly on your shoulders and gazing
as she used to do upon your face, with the
fondness which you so well recall, tihe is
now smoothing your brow, she Is smiling
upon you, and bias you remember the many
lessons which, in your childhood, it was her
happiness to impart to you, aud which, in
your manhood, you have found to be of con
stant service.”
“When did she die?” I asked, and
where?”
“At such and such a time,” was the an
swer, naming the day, month and place of
mv mother’s death.
Being bent upon a thorough investigation,
and having all in/ skepticism aroused, I im
mediately asked him for her maiden name.
Without hesitation, and again taking the
pencil, he said, “She shall wnte it herself,'?
and thereupon he wrote, in the familiar hand
of fny mother, her full name, when she was
bom and where.
“If this is my mother,” I remarked, “she
will not object to writing my own name and
the( time and place of my birth,” when,
strange as it may appear, gentle reader, the
pencil swept across the page and the truth
was told.
The first effect of these startling develop
ments was partly to unbinge my feelings,
aud for a moment I was lost in amazement
But not yielding my faith even to this evi
dence, I resolved still farther to prove the
possibilities of the medium in such a manner
as would leave no room to doubt the genu
ineness of his powers. Having traveled over
a greater portion of the world, anu r*ade ac
quaintances in foreign countries, many of
whom are now dead,! determined to apply
a significant, and, as I conceived, a most diffi
cult test. As if my thoughts were instantly
divined by the medium, lie remarked:
“There are spirits present whose manners
are in- a strange contrast with those of oar
community, and they are making motions
which I cannot interpret.”
I then mentally inquired if the spirit of
certain friend of mine who had died in the
East ladies, iraaxpres»-nt. The answer came
immediately: “Your friend who died in the
East Indies is here, and is exceedingly anx
ious to converse with you. I see now” and
he proceeded to describe the personal ap
pearance of one who had been dead six years.
“I see before me,” he said, “a short, delicate
lady, whose face is marked with traces of
suffering; she is dressed in a light fabric, and
wears upon her bead a summer hat. tihe ap
pears to have just returned from a walk.
Her hair hangs loosely upon her shoulders,
and in her band is a letter which she seems
desirous of presenting to you.”
“ 1 would know her name,” I observed. He
instantly seized a pencil and wiote upon a
paper, which he banded me with a perplexed
air, saying, “ Here are some characters, sir,
but I must confess that I do not understand
them.” On taking the paper, to my astonish
ment, I read in clear, beautiful Pcni-Arabic
Romanized words, the name of my dead
friend, with the salutation common among
the natives of Ind:a, “BurraJi, Sthtb, Salaam,
the name by which she playfully called me,
literally meaning, in the Oriental exuberance
of politeness, “ Great sir, good cheer! ”
While regarding the inscription with si
lent wonder, the medium suddenly drew up
bis coat-sleeve, with the exclamation, “See
here !** and there, in red lines upon the fleshy
part of the fore-hrm standing out in bold re
lief, were the English initials of my friend's
name. Not to be deceived. I seized his
hand and held it oat for a few moments,
while I watched the strange phenomenon
fade from sight.
Thus was I nonplussed, not merely tty the

close of the ami-Napoleonic war in England.
The National debt rose annually by Its hun
dred thousand millions. There was an issue
of paper money to relieve tho bankers and
brokers. The nobility, comparatively poor
in the last century, were curiched by offices,
pensions, endowments, and opportunities of
investment and speculation. The upper class
of commoners realized untold wealth and
bought alliances with the nobility. The corn
laws kept the land owners in.sympathy wilh
the Government. The corn eaters starved.
There was a prosperity among the upper
cl asses greater than that of our own now;
but never was there more suffering among the
poor, never so many crimes against property
and life.
“The inequalities of the law and the injustice
of government made imperative the reform
movement It was bold and honest, and was
again and again repulsed by the organized
power of government But it drew the
young men to it It won, step by step, victo
ries ; it conquered public opinion faster than
it did votes; but at last it held control of
both. It has governed England for forty
years, with occasional losses of power, which
were merely temporary. But no measure of
reform that it ever succeeded in establishing
was ever overturned.
‘gush is to be our history. The vote of
Tuesday is no measure of public opinion.
We have access to the popular ear and heart.
The thin partition that separates parties will
be broken in the next impulsive movement
of the people. Our success is postponed, but
only for a brief time. Napoleon was stromfc

steps were directed To the very house iu
which, as it afterwards appeared, the cause
of my sympathy presided, and through spirit
ual agencies, I was there enabled to clear
away a mystery which had plunged a respect
able household into the deepest distress.
Such was the story of the medium. It was
told in an artless confidential mauncr, and I
ever since have had occasion to remember,
with peculiar satisfaction, my first “ Evening
with a Spiritualist.”
To tbo Public,
Atlanta, Ga., November 9,1873.
Editors Constitution: I desire,' through the
medium of your widely-circulated paper, to
call the attention of the people of Georgia
to a recent business transaction, as ingenious
as it is outrageous. About the first of last
February, I purchased from J. O. Tilton, of
Pittsburg, Pa., the right to sell, in the State of
Georgia, a patented invention, known as“The
titeam Washer, or Woman’s Friend.” The in
vention was patented Sept. 19,1871. In order
to secure the deed, for the State, on Mr. Til
ton’s terms, I was compelled to mortgage my
homestead, and was also induced to make a
considerable outlay of money in the matter
of advertising etc., relying implicity nj>on
Tilton’s representations all the while. Just
about the time when I was ready to com
mence selling county rights, I was notificdjby
a gentleman that he had bought eighteen
counties from J. C. Tilton. Similar notices
began to come in from every quarter. My
agents were led to believe that 1 was, myself,
only an agent without the right to sell terri
tory, and they consequently ceased to act for
me.
I soon found out the reason for this state
of affairs. Tilton had secured a second pa
tent! He at once re-advertised the territory
of Georgia for sale, but took good care to say
nothing about the two patents. The new pa
tent is precisely like the old one in principle,
and in its manner of working; it differs only
in appearance. It is also more expensive,
and more complicated. The new patent bears
date March, 5tb, 1872. 1 can safely challenge
comparison. The patent which I bought an
swers its purpose as weil as the new patent,
and is moreover simpler and cheaper. Tilton
is aware of this, and in his recent advertise
ments heunblushingly publishes testimonials,
dated 1871. The date shows conclusively
that Tilton is using the certificates in favor
of the patent sold to me, for the purpose of
recommending the new patent This alone is
sufficient to show that Tilton is acting un
fairly.
This is a brief statement of facts. I ask
the peopie of Georgia to read aud consider.
I am prepared to convince them by actual
tests and by the testimony of competent
workmen, that my representations as to the
merits of iny “steam washer,” which I have
a right to sell, are entirely correct. I was
born in Georgia, have always lived here, and
have a wife and two daughters depending
upon me for a support If Tilton succeeds
in his little scheme, it will reduce my«elf and

SUBTERRANEOUS FIRE !
A Smouldering Volcano In Elbert
Near the Former Residence of Nancy
Rart.
On Friday last, Aaron Cobb, a tenant of
Mr. Monoo, while duck hunting, discovered
smoke arising from a small hole hi the sand
near Broad liver, just above the mouth of
Wahatchie creek. Notwithstanding the
ground was exceedingly hot around the place,
Aaron’s curiosity prompted him to approach
the hole and explore its depths with a
reed. Finding no bottom,-he let it go, and
instantly there was an explosive noise heard,
accompanied by such a volume of sulphurous
smoke and ashes that Aaron thought he had
found that lake of fire for which he had lived
In continutl dread all his life, and he ran as
only a frightened darkie under such circum
stances can run, and reported the above in
all its details. Several white gentlemen have
visited the vicinity of the placer They af
firm tbe ground is hot and the smoke ascend
ing, and they take Aaron’s word concerning
the devil’s chimney, being prompted by over-
caution not to approach two close for fear of
sharing the fate of the reed.
To say that the fact of the existence in El
bert of a smouldering volcano, a Vesuvius or
Etna, has caused intense excitement is only
reasonable. Who can tell at what moment
streams of molten lava will break forth and

suiting the action to the word he began to
break the slices of bread on the platter near
est to nim into fragments, while at the
same moment each of the eiders imitated his
example, and rapidly divided the large slices
upon the plates before them into innumerable
pieces. This 0]>eration lasted for some
time, as there were many slices in each
plate, and all had to bo broken
up. The ciders then taking a plate
in each hand passed from the commu
nion-table into the aisles between the scats
aud served the communicants with admira
ble neatness and dispatch. One cider would
stop at the door of e;ich seat, his plate was
passed from hand to band, and each person
took a crumb and ato it without any more
ceremony. In less than five minutes all
the thirty-five hundred were served,
and the elders returned wilh empty
plates to the table. It is to be re
marked that the communicants received the
bread silting, and ate it without manifesting;
by any change of posture or other outw&rii
act any belief that what they were receiving
was more than it appeared to be. The real
ization of this fact takes away from the
mind of tho observer, who might otherwise
lie shocked, tho feeling that a sacrilege is be
ing committed, or that any disrespect is being
shown to the person of the savior. To 3Ir.
Spurgeon’s people and Mr. Spurgeon himself
the elements of the communion undergo no
change after the words of consecration, the
bread remaining bread and the wine remain
ing wine, and nothing more. Mr.
Spurgeon again rose, anil repeating the words
“This is the chalice, the new testament iu my
blood, which shall be shed for you,” he
handed the goblet nearest to him to one of
the elders, while the others seized the remain
ing vessels and carried them to the congre
gation in precisely the same manner as be
fore. In a few moments the atmosphere of
the tabernacle was fragrant with the fumes
of wine, for the breath of thirty-five hundred
persons who have just been drinking carries
with it a perceptible odor. The ceremony
was brought to a conclusion with more sing
ing and prayer, and then the immense build
ing disgorged its thousands into the coldness
and dreariness of the streets. The only other
houses of public gathering open were the
gin-shops and taverns, and in these commu
nicants of another persuasifn were fortifying
tbemse’ves against trouble in their own pecu'
liar way.

that specie payment will not be reached by a

GRANT-
What He Thinks About His
Ke-Election.
Ke Had His Spies In Every
Creeley Camp.
Now York Iti-ndd.] '
The President considers that whereas his
first election was an honor paid on account
of such service as he had teen permitted to
render to the country in the field, his second
is the nation’s stamp of approval upon bin,
political administration of the government-
and a popular vindication of personal eh nr
acter from aspersions cast upon it since he
has held the Presidency. Long before the
appointed meeting of the Philadelphia
Convention he had been obliged to see
that public senlimeut in tbe party
and the country had virtually settled
the question of his succcssorship and
reduced the functions of the Convention to
a formal ratification of what the sovereign
will of the people who had adhered to Re
publican principles had decreed. The nomi
nation of Mr. Greeley, at Cincinnati, and his
confirmation by the Democratic Convention
at Baltimore, was a real gratification to the
President, as it not only narrowed the con
test to two candidates and so emphasized the
honors of success, imt the character of the
opposition gave early and complete assurance!
of the result. The President feels himself
party mau and politician enough to rejoice
with other party men and ijolhiciana over
such renewed triumph and continuance of
republican principles as Mr. Greeley’s candi
dature assured from the first To the Presi
dent’s surprise the Uallinioie nomination
affrighted some of the really prominent lead
ers of the Republicans, even as a sandier
number of weaker men had been disturbed
by the doings of the reformers at Cincinnati.
Political giants, who would now willingly
forgetj their record on the subject, came
to the President after the Baltimore nomina
tion and begged him to change his Cabinet,
to remove this and that v^*ak or obnoxious
officer from thia or that big place, and put it,
with all such places, at the disposal
of local wirepullers and managers,
to win votes and court a popularity that
would tide them over the crisis. Even his
nearest friends complained of his solidity
when they did not accuse him of indifference
to the efforts the party was putt ng forth to
save him and itself. It was at this tune he
paid to a Western man, just elected member
of Congress, “Everybody seems demoralized
by this Greeley movement/ What is the
matter? I have never had the slightest
doubt of the result of the Presidential elec
tion, and I am surprised that gentlemen in
poiilcal life have ;so little confidence in the
good sense of the American people as to tup-
|K»e for a moment that they would select
Mr. GreeleyJfor their President.” But the Presi
dent confessed that he seemed to be alone for
a time iu his confidence of w hat the Ameri
can people would and would not do. The
North Carolina election, as first reported,
completed the fright of the politician, but
justice is done them by admitting that when
the truth came out they came forward and
congratulated the President on the firm stand
he had taken and which they at the time de
nounced as blind obstinacy. One possible
helping cause of the Preside nt’s indifference
was, it is true, known to very few of the
timorous or steadfast either, and was his
knowledge of the fact that from the open
ing of the canvass to the end of the
great campaign of October the Republican
National Committee had a picket in every
Greeley camp of any consequence, from one
end ot the country to the other, and kncw T
day by day every phase of. tiie Greeley situa
tion as well as Mr. Greeley’s managers them
selves. Putting the information thus acquired
to tlicir reports from their own side this com
mittee and those in its confidence had & com
prehensive view of affairs that saved them
from doubts and panics, while the fears of
the untutored were played upon to stimulate
larger concessions of money and effort to
carry the doubtful positions.
