They will get a fiat paper, ???are enough, during the balance of the terms of their respective subscription*. Tvs Khyber pass that Sir Samuel Brown is trying to travel through in company with his army of about eight thousand meit is a bad pass. Jammed, near Peshawar, is at its eastern end, and Dakka, near Jelalabad, at its western end. The pass is twenty-eight miles long and full of defiles that will afTord the Af ghan* several fine opportunities for blocking the progress of the English army in its march on Cabul. Thk world???s bonded indebtedness has been ascertained. In exact figures it is stated at $22,937,036,780???nearly twenty- three thousand million dollars. We do not print these figures to astonish a dis tinguished jurist who says that he does not believe there ever was such a thing as a million of dollars in one holding, but to present the additional fact that the amount of gold coin in the world does not exceed ten thousand millions, or less than one-half of the world???s bonded in debtedness. The total indebtedness, pub lic, corporate and private, is proliably seven times greater than the amount of gold coin in existence; and yet the mono metalists have the effrontery to denounce all who do not agree with them as idiots.

He will take his seat as soon after the fourth of next March as the forty-sixth congress is assembled. This is the second time, says the Montgomery Advertiser, that he has been elected United States senator???hav ing been elected in 1865. He was not al lowed, however, to take his seat. ???Hi will not,??? adds the Advertiser, ???be s drone in the high position which the rep resentatives of the people will assign him. He is in the full vigor of his mental lac ultica, and his robust physique is equal to the work liefore him. As a memlier of the legislature, as a representative in congress, as governor of the state, he has always, in every }tnsirion to which he has born called, proven himself one of the most laborious and successful of those whose fortunes it has lieen to represent the (icoplc of Alabama.

Well-defineil rumors come to u* to the effect that the Central railroad lias se cured a controlling interest in the At Untie and Gulf railroad. As tothe truth ol these rumors, of course we cannot say, for the reason that we have yet heard no wail from the direction of Savannah. A few years ago, when the Central road, for the purpose of perfecting its plans of transportation, proposed to purchase the stock owned by the city in the Atlantic and Golf railroad there was quite a line and cry raised abont monopolies and that aort of thing, bnt wc apprehend that the Gulf road would lutvc been in a much better condition to-day if it had at tliat time passed under the control of Mr. W???adley. What the future of the road will lie, or whether it is to pass under the control of the Central, we cannot say, lint it is certain that the Atlantic and Gulf is one of the beat* lines in the country. It is not in any sense a trunk line, hut it has lieen managed with a view to building up a local traffic, and in this it has sue ceeded better than any other line in the country. It has been controlled with a degree of economy and liberality alto gether exceptional, and the consequence is that it is just in a condition to lie made one of the finest pieces of property in the south. Should the rumor to which we have referred be correct, the connections of the Central will be vastly extended, and if the present policy of that great cor poration should be carried out, it will add vastly to the interest of the people for the change to be made. l.orue and Iamlse. The reception of the Marquis of Lome and the Frim-ess Louise in the dominion has been unusually demonstrative. There j Gove can he no doubt that the enthusiasm was, wbo fiy-the-wav genuine and impromptu. looking upon Canada, as in some sort a democratic country, we are lead to believe that the reception was as much a reception tothe husliand as to the royal lady who accom panied him, and who, at least in the pule lie mind, share his official dutiea. These duties, however, will not be so much in the line of governing as in ilielineof add ing cliartn, dignity and grace to the so ciety that revolves around rulers every where. lorn snd Ionise have a very difficult task before them.

And yet how gracefully this can be done by the young marquis and his wife! As a mat ter of course, the people will have to en dure them, but we are led to hope that the young people will ao hedge their dig nity with the affability and gentle cour tesy that are always royal, that they will endear themselves to those who will be brought in contact with them. Theybegin their official career in Canada under the moat flattering auspices, and we feel sure that they will attract lo themselves the affections of the people.

Upon the rea.'M*inblin of the inquest she made tiie following ful confession: ???I wrote the name of John Stull, and ap- ]minted the meeting at the old man's hay stacks. When I came to the stacks i went around them, but found no oue, hut when I came around the stacks the second time A genuine and profound sensation has beeu created, among certain of our people, by a Mrs. Eldridge, who is a spiritual medi um, and who has been giving tests for some ten days in this city. There is no doubt tliat Mrs. Eldridge is an exception to the general rule of spiritualists, clairvoyants, and mediums that go through the country. Those persons usually fail to stand intelli gent tests, and sink under the application of acute scaunin.*, or even impartial clear headed attention. Mrs. Eldridge is diiTer- ent. If she is a mere juggler, she is vastly more adroit than any that we have yet had. If she is a medium she is much more j*ow- erful than any we have ever had. She is a quiet, unassuming, earnest-looking little lady, of fine nianuers and address. Her husband was a colonel in the confederate army and is a gentleman of culture and re finement. They have not sought to make themselves notorious, hut have qnjetlv ac cepted all tests that have offered, and have not sought the Newspapers. What we write now is simply in discussion of a very won derful manifestation, and shall l??e inclined the facts dictate. One thing may he taken as assured. We shall present below no tests but those that we know to be the literal truth. We have in no case taken a fact from a man whoever inclined to spiritual ism in any of its shapes. Our information has come from the most orthordox of per sons???from scholars, church-member*, lawyers, etc. There is no reader of The Constitution who could doubt for stant the word of any man whose state ments are appended. Wc of course use fictitious names, and have made this state ment to simply satisfy our readers that the tests given below are facts. They may he explained???they cannot be controverted. The facts are true?-each man must tit them to his own theory. Nothing is more certain than that any man who visits this medium will be confronted with a phenomena that he cannot explain. In company with u gentleman of fine scholarship and a vigor ous skepticism, we called to see Mrs. Eldridge last night. We found that she was unable to see us, having become huusted from her frequent sittings during the day. We found the room full of gen tlemen, however, who had been with tiie wonderful medium, and who had various experiences. There was no spiritualist room, and only one person who had come to believe that there wus anything su}??cr- natural in the matter. The most of those ith whom we talked are thorough skeptics ???cool, impartial reasoners, who, feeling as sured that there could lie no siqternatural demonstrations, were convincing tests by which they could either batlle the {tower and put their fingers upon tiie agency. THE MATERIAL WITH WHICH SHE WORKS. It may be best to first explain the imple ments with which Mrs. Eldridge works. She Iras a common table???a thin pine plunk ???with four sticks for legs. She allows you to examine this tabic, and take it to nieces if you please. Before working she throw! over it two strips of velvet. Upon asking) medium a question she puts a common slate under the table, holding it in the palm of ???her hand. Her other hands rests on the ta ble. Withdrawing the slate iu a r the upper side of it is covered with distinct writing. No slate-|>eiicil is seen at all.
