Gen. Pierce's C binet.
Many Of the papers are specl,

4 Maay Of the papers are speculat-
ling as to who will be called to com
lpose the Cabinet Of Gen. Pierce. =
All, however, that ha 5 been said, is
Ipnly conjecture; the Pl esident akeep
eth his own COUNSEL Without pre-
tending to say, or even to "guess,
who the Cabinet erlnine may fall up
on, this much we can d ver with safe
! ty the Presidents Cd unsellors viii
be men of prudence, of strict integri
t., and of admitted ability. AND
these traits, we believe, will charac
terize the olIice-holders of the inobm.
ling Administration throughoutsthe
Union, where the appointments sare
made adVisedly. Y et, it would be q
wonder, indeed, ifsome bad men were
not to succeed by NJ Management and
! fraud to SO far ingratiate themselves
into the good graces Of the "powers
that be- as to fail to obtain ''liber.
al divide" Of the ''loayes and fishes.
The appointing power is one of the
most difficult to perform satisfacto-
| rily that deyolves upon the Presi-
dent. Presulnptuous, incompetent
men, through friends, will urge their
own claims; and as the Executive
knows nothing of them personally,
but relies upon the recommendations,
the chances are, the applicant will
succeed and the Administration is
fcensured, unjustly. The integrity
Iof appointments is as necessary to
success, as the integrity Of legisla-
ton and judicial action. Men should
be selected to fill places of public
trust becaus Sc they are qualified, POI
litlcally as well as otherwise, and will
discharge their duties. The dis
charge of those duties according to
the best Of their Abilities" may or
may not be enough. Many men are
cal5e1 to office but few are chosen
Those to be appointed to station,
Should be entirely qualified, and
then . Willingness to perform those
dqties and corresponding action, is
ali the people require. This much
they are entitled to.

The Balance Of Trade against Us.

The Louisville Democrat thus
happily answers the old cant of the
wings as to the 'balance of trade
being against this country
The editor Of the Louisville Jour,
npl evidently thinks that when the
table of exports and imports show an
e kcess of the latter, We repecessa-
( rlly in.debt to the amount of the diff
Iid rences. Our exports are valued in
Our own ports be fore they start to a
foreign market; our imports are val
ued at the invoice price in the for
eign port where they are purchased.
The enhanced price Of cargo in a
foreign market q on't appear in these
tables. Of oour4 g the trader expects
a return pn his cargo, greater than
the value of his goods at home at
the time Pf maxi hg the export He
expects a profit in return, or he
wouldn't send his goods to foreign
port.
1.-THE editor will look at the En-
glish tables of Imports and exports,
he VII finds the balance against her
too. she is pl4nglng into debt in
like manner, and the proteotionists
there feel very a hxious, as they do
here. fla man Ih Louisville sends
steamboat load Of produce to New
Orleans, worth here $4,000, and
sells it there for 100000, and pur-
chase sugar and briggs it to this mar
.ket, he would i'm port $4,000 more
than he exported. Does the editor
Iof the journal think the man would
Ibe ruined by Tho process? Perhaps
he might, but the merchant who
found himself the victim of such a
transaction, would be the last man to
regret it.
This matter ! las been explained a
thousand times, but still We have the
same cutlery periodically about the
balance OF trade against Us; and theII
editor who scribbl les such S tuff thinks
he is writing as a man of S nse.
We assure the editor of the Jour
nal that he has n ore reasd n again to
be alarmed at I'd is balance of trade, |
the excess OF imports owe exports,
han he is aware of. If HI will sum
up our imports d nd exports for the
asst thirty years, he-will find the bal
NICE, IN his way Of reckoning, an
enormous sum against us-perhaps
lot much short Of five hundred mil
ions. According to the editor of
be Journal We are in debt this
tArtling amount, $pr merchants have

cided exception is taken to this posi-
ton, by the Nashville Gazette, whose
editor is a wing and a recent Scott
elector Hear him!
The VICE PREsIDEScY- a new
and singular question has been moot
ed by the politicians. 1t is this =
who would be Vice President, in
case Of the death of Hon. w. r
King, whose health seems to be II ow
extremely predarions, previous to
the announcement Of the electoral
vote by the President Of lie Sc nate:
1t occurs to US that this question is
rather singular than difficult. The
Constitution provides for the election
of President and Vice President and
the time of that choice That cleo
ton has already taken place. The
electoral colleges have long since de
ch,red, in the constitutional way, the
votes Of their respective States. =
These ballots have been transmitted
TO Washington, and are now 'proba-
bly, in the keeping of the govern
ment. Nothing now remains to be
done, but the announcement of this
vote by the President II the Sen
ate. The States have dohe all they
had THO power to do They haze
made the election. The simple dec
iaratio1 Of their choice by the Presi-
dent Of the Senate cannot alter or
control the electip n. VIM. r. King
has be n conStitutionally elected
Though he sh oull die Immediately,
this fadt could not alter the Official
announ cement of the vote. In the
dischar BE of his duty, the President
of the Senate will have no official
knowledge of the death ii the Vice
Preside mt elect, as that fact is not
disclosed by the ballots and certiG-
Gates themselves. And, though he
did know this fact officially, Yet it
occurs to US, that he would be com
PEELED To announce that Vim. r. King
had rec eiyed a majority of the votes
of the electoral colleges, and was
constitd tionally elected. 1t would
then dtvolve upon the Senate to
elect hi + successor, in the usual way.

THE RAPPTTES EXPOSED

THE RAPPITES EXPOSED.
The wide-spreadng deluson of what is called
the Spirit Manifestations or Rappings--its increas
ing success de salon--and the solemn testimony to
its truth given by persons formerly sceptical,
now convinced by experiment, and those, too,
often persons of ability as well as position, rem
dered it imperative on journalists to investigate
the matter thoroughly. The extraordinary let
ter addressed to me by German friend, and
printed last week in these columns. made me
anxious to do so without delay. That letter l
presume has not been overlooked by our readers;
at any rate they are entreated to read it now,
for it is indeed an admirable report. Immediate
ly after our seance, it was read aloud, and the
company pronounced it an unusually accurate
description-n spite of its conveying an impress
sion directly opposite to that which had resulted
from our Investigation That letter places before
the reader the Trapping" as marvel; the wri.
ter, although he will not own himself convinced,
emphatcally declares that it is not an imposture.
Our conviction was that a more barefaced and ig-
noble imposture had never been attempted, and
for that conviction we had irresistible proof If
this seems paradoxical-if can say on the one
hand that w. r. report was an admirable one,
and yet on the other that it was profoundly and
essentially false in the conclusion to which it
pointed-the paradox will only be one to those
unaccustomed to sift evidence, and unacquainted
with the worthlessness of reported cases."
/ will add to the paradox by saying that while
the imposture is fragrant, there is nothing wonder
full in its success. I am not astonished at any
persons credulity. man goes to seance per-
fectly increduous. He is staggered by the rev
citation of facts which it is absolutely impossible
the Medium could know, facts perhaps known
only to himself. The revelation is made to him
in answer to question thought, not spoken; no
one knows the question but himself, no one knows
the answer; yet the answer is accurate! Is it not
marvellouss Can it be trick? From that mo-
ment the astonished questioner is 3 devout be
lever. And yet in the face of hundreds of such
experiences pronounce the Rapping fragrant,
transparent trick; but to see through it you
must be on your guard.
| Before had witnessed this astounding phe-
nomena," l had formed an hypothesis of the
whole process, which turned out to be accurate.
1t did not seem in the least surprising to me that
the questioner should be correctly answered,
even when asking questions mentally, of which
no living soul but his own knew the answer. |
invariably said: "The cause of your delusion is
that you direct your attention to the thing said,
and not to the aoay in Which ii is SAID. What
ever the trick may be, it will be just as easy to
