Spiritual Manifestations.

Rev. Mr. Mattison delivered his second
and last lecture on spiritual manifestations,
or as he termed the subject, Modern Ne
cromancy,' at the Tabernacle The pria-
cipal object OF his lecture was, to prove that
the knockings, rappings, etc, were mere
tricks, resortec to, for the purpose of making
money; that the whole system was subversive
of the Christian religion, and tended to the
decentralization of society He read several
communications purporting to have come
from the spirit-world through mediums,
among which was letter from George
Washington, remarkable for its bad gram
mer and photography. At the close of the
lecture, Mr.. Mattison repeated his challenge
to the spirits, to manifest their presence by
rapping, knocking, transporting men from
one gallery to the other, etc but after wait
ing for few moments the patience of the
audience was exhausted, and they were pre-
pairing to leave, when they were addressed
by Professor Owens. a spiritual medium -
He said that the place was not favorable to
such exhibitions. and that they required
certain persons and conditions. He was
proceeding to read from manuscript he
held in his hand when he was interrupted
by Kisses from all parts of the bnildipg He
was called on to give some specimens of rap
pings and knockings, but failing to do so,
the meeting broke up.

From the Richmond (Ta.) Enquirtr.l
New York Slave Transit Hill.

The following is the bill introduced into
the N. Y. Assembly by Mr.. B. Taylor, dem
ocrat, from New York city. to revive the
law recognizing slave property IN transitu
through the State of New York:
"An act to modify the existing law in rela-
ton to the bringing into and convevin o
through any part of this State persons
held to service in any other State.
The people of the State of New York
represented in Senate and Assembly, do
enact as follows:
"SEcTIoN l. Any person, not being an
inhabitant of this State, who shall be travel
ing to or FROM or passing through this State,
may bring with him any person lawfully
held by him in slavery, and may take s.ch
person with lin from this State but the
person so held in slavery shall not reside.
or continue in this State more than thirty
days; and if such residence be continued
beyond that time, such person shall be free
The bill is an exact transcript of the act
repealed under the auspices of the Seward
dynasty-except that the nine months re-
striction is reduced to thirty days. This is
the bill, (says the Albany Argus.) (Which
has been greeted with universal howl from
the abolition press in and out of the State.
That they and the higher law pa-tizans
generally, will continue their lamentations
and their opposition is to be expected But
we mistake the high tone of the Legislature
very much if it is to be deferred by denun-
Citations and obloquy from such quarters,
from the discharge of its own duty to the
State and to the spirit of the constitutional
guarantees and compromises
In introducing the bill, Mr. TAYLOR made
brief but comprehensive and pointed re-
marks. He said that he had no objection to
its reference to the Judiciary commmittee, if
that was the desire of the House or any Dor
tion of it, though it was due to the import
ance of the bill itself to add that it was a copy
uerbatlm (exceptas to the time of residence,
which was formerly nine months and which
was reduced by this bill to thirty davs) of
an act in the Revised Statutes of 1880,
which was copied from law of 1917. The
same provision is contained in the Revised
Laws of 1901, and was re-enacted in 1913.
1t was therefore in force for forty years un-
der Governors Geo. Clinton, Morgan Lewis,
ID. L. Tompkins, De Witt Clinton, JOS. G.
Yales, NJ. Van Buren,, Enos ID. Throp. and
". l.. Marcy. and was repealed in 1871
under VIM. H. Seward When the law
passed the Senate in 1917, Van Buren, was
a member of that body and voted for it
He had no objection, he repeated to sending
the bill to the Judiciary committee, trusting
that that body would give it their prompt
attention, and report it back to this House,
in order that members mi ght have an early
opportunity to examine it and to pass upon
it by vote
The bill was referred to the judiciary
committee.

look to the navy as the bulwark of our
honor, if not safety; and | tell you, sir, that
all your famous schemes in reference to Gu
ba will vanish like mist before the wind, and
gentlemen will regret the warlike speeches
which they have made, if you do not look
to your navy in time. Look at the threat
ening aspect of France and England. 1t
has amazed me that we are so Indifferent
about the only means you have to defend
your honor. Suppose Europe should COM
bine against you, as they would have done
long ago if there had been monarch there
worth the gold in his crown. Every one of
your ports would have been blockaded. -
They would have forbidden you to 90 on the
ocean. They would have declared that, as
you had assumed the continent to be your
own, you should leave the ocean to them
In such cases, how would you have farcd
twenty-five years ago! 1t is very easy to
bully and boast, but | know the effect of Il
thirEy-two-pound shot at sea, at any rate;
and know that mans heart cannot save
his head In such a case. Let me assure

subject that l am speaking Of the most i'm
portant SUBJECT that can now occupy the at
