KANsAs.-The Lecompton correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Democratic Press says that the
sheriffs and their deputies do not take much
trouble with the census operation, getting all the
information they want from their pro-slayery
friends, and setting down only such as they want.
They refuse to insert the names of any free State
men who arrived this Spring, even of those who
arrived early They call them " transient" At
the same time they are putting thousands of
names on the list who never lived in Kanzas, and
never will. The names of the Shawnee Associa-
tion, some $500, are on the list of voters. The
law of the bogus legislature regulating the man
net of taking the census, is grossly violated.

SPIRITUALIsM.-T The editor of the Salem
Register has witnessed an exhibition of what
is called spiritualism,'' and gives an ac
count Of what took place. The Register says:
The party was in private house, the high
character OF the occupants Of which put out
of the question all idea OF collusion on their
part. Among the company invited were the
mayor and several professional gentlemen of
scientific attainments. The medium :" was
Miss Cogswell of Burlington, Vt. She came
earlyinto the room, and took seat with hsr
back to the strong gas light, on account of
her eyes, as she said. She was very pretty
and lady-like young person, with an innocent
coantenance, and gentle and intelligent ex-
preston. Her sleeves were of the short and
wide character now common, coneealing most
of her arms when in reyose. Shortly after ia
king her seat, lady who accompanied her,
and whom we understood to be trance me-
dunn, turned up one of Miss CogswelPs
sleeves, and exhibited to us all a name plain
ly written on the inside of the forearm, which
she stated was that of her brother, now in
the spirit land In answer to inquiries, both
she and Miss Cogswell stated that the latter
did notpreviously know this brothers. name.
Miss Cogswell also stated that these manifest
atoms came upon her without any voliton OF
her own, and that she had no certain know
ASuSS VI IhelE uSlnB III response 10 the wishes
Of Others, but she had reason to suppose they
were They occasioned no sensation whatev-
er upon her skin. The first knowledge she
had Of possessing this peculiar gift, was some
months ago, when she saw sentence upon
her arm. She is not aware that she has any
peculiar susceptibility to spiritual influences
but she states that she has seen the spirits of
the departed, while in a natural and healthy
condition of mind and body
An attempt was afterwards made to have
the experiments conducted methodically, I'M
der the direction of one OF the medical gem
tlemen and at intervals the words yes, no.
Mary, John, &C., appeared upon the arms
sometimes upon one, sometimes upon the
other, and generally with perfect distinctness.
1t was not found practicable, however, to trace
an unquestionable connection between them
and the questions which had been written
upon private paper By the examiner. The
letters in all these cases were clear, we'll de.
fined, over an inch in length, in a strong,
flowing hand, and all the large strokes of the
letters showed distinct vale, such as would
be made upon delicate skin by smart blow
from lash, and which was as pereeptible to
the touch as to the sight, until it faded away,
which it generally did in a quarter of an hour
or less"
