Rapping to some Purpose-A New Place.

In haste, yours &c. WIN. Z. DEMAREsT
RepLy.-The proper way to arrive at an
calculation of any apparently mysterious
or unaccOuntable phenomena is by first, a
cool, careful, searching, unparalleled Oh.
Serrdtion of facts, then a wise and scien-
tifc classification and comparison of the
phenomena observed. Now Mr.. ID. fails
to inform US whether the 'rapping tunes
he speaks of has occurred in one house
only OF in dozen-whether the piano or
pianos thus affected have or have not been
thoroughly scrutinized by persons compe-
tent to detect and certain to expose any
juggle or COLLISION and whether the pres.
ence of any particular person or persons IL

essential to the musical demonstration be
reports. 1t is utterly impossible, there.
fore, for any ore, on the strength Of his re-
port, to determine that there is any thing
more in the phenomena in question than
cleverly- played trick-an ingenious decsp
ton, instigated by reports of real Or SIM.

They may be quite other than such, bg

RHODE IsLAND-Ihe nelC L. S. Senator.
Gen. James, the new Senator elect from
Rhode Island, it seems, was elected on
distinct understanding with his Wing sup
porters that he was and would be Wing
in everything but name. The Providence
Journal pithily says:
sit is so seldom that our Democratic friends
carry election of any kind in this State that we
really pity them when they find that even their
fancied success is only failure. They elected
Mr.. Thurston to Congress, and The Herald did not
dare to publish his votes on some Of the most i'm
portant questions upon which he was called to act
They have elected Gen. James to the Senate, and
in the very beginning Of their rejoicing they are
met with the declaration under bis own hand that
he is Wing, and with the evidence that he has
voted with the Wings for ten years.
pom these points, we believe, there is no mis-
take. The Post admits them both by expressive
silence. The Democrats who went to bed Thurs
day evening rejoicing in great triumph, awoke
on Friday morning, to learn that they had been

rion in ls4o for Clay in 1874, supported Taylor in

by absence. He voted for Anthony for Governor,

European INTELLIGENCE.


We have already announced the arrival at New

TO the 29th ult. and now give the most interesting
items of intelligence. The Canada came in place

Brazil; Mr.. Campbell, consul al Rotterdam; MIR.
Whitney, bearer of dispatches from London, and
Mr. Swift bearer of dispatches from Paris.
Prince Albert has addressed autograph letters of
thanks to all the foreign commissioners.
In the American section some "htch" has
Cured between the commissioners and the cxhibi
tors, which (the Liverpool Times remarks) will
probably cause a little delay in their clearing out
The former make claim for expenses which the lat
ter resist, being. as they state, under the impress

their own Government meeting OF American
exhibitors is talked of and much dissatisfaction is
expressed at the .rsoceedngs Of the commissioners
