WEDNESDAY MORNING NoyEmRra II "a,

JUDGE EDMoSDs.-Judge Edmonds of N
ork, has published a long letter in the Chris
tian Spiritualist, giving an account of a long
interview which he had with about hun
dred OF the passengers of the Arctic, on the
day after the news of the wreck was receiv-
ed in New York. We give the following ex
tract:
n b Blunt, late District Attorney. Bishop Vain.
right, Isaac T. Hopper Dr. Cory, and others of our
spirit friends were also present, and occasionally
spoke through, or to some of US.
plainly saw the whole assemblage and particu
larry one OF them, with whom | had been well ac
quanted He was laboring under great mental
excitement. He exclaimed to me. "Good God
Edmonds Can this be truel Is death, after all
what you said it was-and is this deathq Can it be
possible this is the change which death makesy"
answered, "You see. You can judge for your
aelf Bring your own clear intellect to bear upon
it, and you can understand it..
" Bat" he said "where ami What must doi
Where am going Is this to be always 2"
told him, No, by no means is it to be always
So Bu. 1t will be difficult for to tel you whal
| to do, for cannot know all the circumstances
| which surrouDd you. But there is one, close al
"Who is that" he asked
j answered Our old friend Blunt"
He said, "NatG is he here Where? Let me see
him. Let me hear from him where am and wha
| am to dop"
This conversation had thus far been between me
and that Spirit direct, and now Mr.. Blunt came
through my daughter and said: I" Judge, tell him
am near at hand, ready to assist him, and he hal
only earnestly to wish it to and hear himself
Now, his mind s in such uncertainty and confu
| sion that neither bis brother nor can make our
selves visible to him.
This being said to me in audible voice, wal
heard also by the Spiri. who no longer paid any
attention to me, but turned to where Blunt was
and soon engaged in conversation with him.
Others of these spirits then spoke % me. One
said to me. that his last thought on going dowr
with the ship was, that in few moments he should
be reunited again to his wife and children, who
| went down with him. but he said-and this 80 mucf
astonshed him-"when awoke, | beheld my wifi
and children passing away from me in different di
rect1ors, and am left alone near the earth Ii
| them sgain And am | alwaysto hover thus nea
the earth 2"
There is a great deal more of the same sort
equally rational, equally probable, equally
comprehensive, and equally satisfactory. 1
is, however, to be regretted that Judge Ed
monds was not favored by the spirits will
some account of the missing passengers o
| the Arctic. The ghosts tell us nothing tina
we had not previously learned through th'
| newspapers, except such matters as relate tt
the spiritual world, in which it is impossible
| for any one to contradict them.
Judge Edmonds, we believe, is no lsnge
| connected with the Bench of New York. /
| is fortunate that the interests of law and jus
tice are no longer in the keeping of this in
| sane person.

being manifested throughout this Con-

been held in Doddridge. Upshur. and we
have been informed in Woo |. for the same
purpose; all agreeing TO the 9th as the
day. and Chenille as the. place, except
Gilmer, which has desi 5nateI the 18Th as

at the same time. We learn that meet
ing was to be held in Barbour on Monday.
! to appoint delegates. AMI that the above
FIRST named time and place will be agreed
to; and we have no doubt that it will be
general throughout the district.
Already half of the district has taken
action in this matter, or is preparing to do
so, and if the balance will act during the
remainder of the time, az we have every
reason to believe they will, all may yet be
well. But If we are compelled to % in
to the election with three Democratic can.
dldates in the field what. prospect have
we of success Messrs. Lewis, Basel
and B. w. Jackson of Wool, are in the
field. and if we understand their position,
each one is uucomprisingy SO. None
have the welfare Of their party sufficiently
at heart to withdraw from the contest and
leave single candidate to contest the field
with the champion Of our political oppo-
nents.
This being the case, we earnestly invoke
the Democrats in the lower end of the dis
trict to meet US at GlenvilIe on the 2Jth
INST E, and fix upon some one good man, u
represent them in the coming cleo ion,
and the balance Of the present Con sress.
