A Curious Collection.

The most curious collection of individuals
ouiide of lunatic asylum was seen in the
Z. 3. Court at Buffalo, ION the % August, J
wh:re case was tried to determine whether
prGessors of spiritualism were subject to
the ieense tax for practising jugglery. The
Incqne Commissioner said they were liable
to py such license, and so notified them;
but he spiritualists Indignantly denied that
their marvellous manifestations were mere
tricks and impositions, as the other public
performers Of jugglery and slight of hand
had he honesty to confess. Hence the
Cour was called upon gravely to determine
the irportant difference between these rival
claimants for public favor, and besides all
presdigtateurs, magcans, necromancers,
known 10 the world, there were assembled
all the Old women Of both sexes, who see
ghosts nsthe dark, and converse with spirits
through Che legs of a table. 1t was Gu
rious collection of humanity, embracing the
extremes of human credulity and deception.
Colchestn, was the defendant in the case.
The Court decided that the spirituaists were
subject TO the license claimed by the q. S.
Commissioner

THE REBEL, STATE DEBT.

There is phase of the financial trouble
which is about to affect the South in the
proper settlen ent of which there is likely yet
to be difficulty The Confederate debt, 1t
is admitted, is gone beyond the power of re-
demption. There is no Confederacy to find
the means of payment, and the immense
amount of paper issued to supply the means
of CARRYING on the war is utterly worthless.
1t cannot be redeemed by any agency now
existing But the matter may be different
in relation to the debts of the various States
contracted during the rebellion, and for the
purpose of carrying on the war. These exI
penditures were mainly for mjlitray purposes
for the defense of the State according to tn.
phrase most usual but in defending tn.
State the Confederacy was at the same Tins
assisted. By loyalists the Southern Stat.
debts will be considered as offensive as tn.
Confederate debt, and to assume the pay
ment of any of the former, would be ur-
pleasant to contemplate, yet 1t Is somewha
difficult to preceive how something or the
sort can be avoided if the people of the
Southern States should incline to that pohY
after restoration.
Large amounts of the States Obligations
are in the hands of the leading politicians,
those INSCRIPTIONS fellows who take care
only of their own interests. They@lll natlr-
ally desire to render their evideaces OF debt
valuable, and they will argue that as they
| are issued by the State, the State should
not repudiate them They Sili contend the
| State de juse is bound bthe acts or the
| State de jocto and that although there has
| been change OF adnrtstratlon: the rights
which accrued under former government
survive. Under arguments like these there
will be undoubtedls Strong efforts to cause
| the assumption a the Rebel State debts,
| and in pursuanceof that policy appeals will
be made to thepride, and even to the pdtri-
otiso, of the d;votees of the late Rebel con-
sniracv T,s men who fought for a bad
cause will pappealed to by the memory of
their sufffings to lend their influence to in
crease re taxation which it to be put upon
them Those who remained at home will be
besou,ht not to take advantage ofcircumstan-
cos o repudiate debt Of which they had
the beneft
The whole class of State creditors viii be
.rrent in their demands that the State
debts shall be paid Against all this clamor
fthere will be no hope except in the Judiciary.
Honest judges will decide that debt con-
traced by a State Government not recog-
nizell by the Constitution Of the United
Stats, and in rebellion against the Union,
| is via and cannot bind the legitimate State
Goprnment Such decision may be made
in State court. but if not, it will be pro-
nouced in the Federal courts The time
ma be postponed. and there may be many
couroyersies and quarrels over the matter,
butwhatever the obstacles, to this complex
ionmust it come at last.

Then and Now.

President johnson is man in whom the
country ought to have great confidence. We
see noreas son why his patriotism should be
doubted Being Southern man in every
sense Of the word, he deserves much more
credit for opposing secession than if his life
had been spent in the North That he
should desire the Union restored, therefore,
is most natural; and that he will seek those
means which will bring about that happy
result the speediest, and upon the fairest
terms, is quite as natural. - CleagJfeld Re
publican, April 26, 1865.
THE Washington rlebean. is erecting a
high standard for renegade Democrats. He
is certainly trying to bribe the Democracy,
always the first resort of corrupt spirit
just as the devil did with the angel Gabriel
after he was thrust out of Heaver-to try
to contaninate and criminate their old asso-
ciates with themselves But we are sure
the bait will not take with any honest Dem
ocrat. '-C2earfeld Republican,, august %,

Churches North and South.

The antagonism that has existed between
different sections of the country has, of
course, arrayed portions of churches against
each other The same excitement of pas
sion and the same indulgence of it, that ex-
listed among others, existed among members
of churches This was unavoidable, unless
they could be divested of humanity, with
its feelings and its impurities. In the con-
sideraticns Of efforts for restoring the old
relations and fellowships. difficulties arise
similar, in their character, to those which
the Government encounters in its reconstruc-
ton work But they are more likely, we
fear, to prove insurmountable, since there
are no other than moral considerations that
can be brought to bear on the case The
operations of the Presbyterian and Episco-
pal church do not, thus far, present very
promising prospect of speedy success. Per-
haps it may be as well for both, that the
former relations with their Southern breth-
ern should not be precipitately resumed, e.
ven if it were practicable. Time may soft
en- asperities of feeling, and lead, if not to
repentance, at least to oblivion of wrong.

The Soldiers" Resolution.

The Copperhead papers are making q
great ado. about the action of the Union
State Convention. in refusing to adopt Hon.
Lemuel Tod substitute for the Ilth reso-
luton, as reported by the committee, which
is as follows:
That this Convention, representing the
loyal people of Pennsylvania, recognizes the
claims of our citizen soldiers on our conf
dence and gratitude: and that IN nomina-
tions for offices especial regard should be
paid to the claims of those who have faith
fully served their country in the army or the
navy in the suppression Of the rebellion. -
Mr.. Tod S substitute reads thus
THAT this Convention, representing the
loyal people Of Pennsylvania recognizes the
claims Of our citizen soldiers, in its con-
fidence and gratitude, as urerior to all 9TH
ers and that, in token of the sincerity of
this its declaration, it viii nominate none as
candidates for Office who have not proved
their loyalty and patriotism by services in
