A SwINDLER-PAss HIN RoUND.-A fellow
who calls himself Prof. Morey"is travelling
about the country giving exhibitions of
sleight OF hand or tricks of legerdemain. He
advertises that, at the close of each perform

have been so fortunate as to draw numbered
tickets, a variety of traps, cans of fruit. &c.

led to suppose that the thing is fairly and
honestly managed, and they run. in grea,
crowds, after the fellow. The people think
t hat the numbers and blanks are promiscu-

Now, the tact is that the managers of thu

afford to dispose of In an evening. and these
are probably given out hap hazard. But not
so with the large prizes We are able to
prove that, III one instance, while Morey was
here, person in this town was hired, for

to him and give it back to Morey after the
exhibition. The public supposed the person

Exciting News From Mexico.

From the Rio Grande, the intelligence
is highly interesting, confirming the pre-
vious reports of the flllibuster move
ment on Bagdad under Gen. Crawford,
and the capture of the town, The at
lacking party was mainly composed OF
colored soldiers, belonging to the l19th
U. s. Colored Infantry, Immediately
commanded by Col. Reed. After the
seizure of the garrison Of 400 men, an
other detachment of 200 colored soldiers
from the same regiment arrived ITO
protect the American citizens Of the
place" as the account reads.
On the eth inst. (the town was taken
on the 9Th, the 18th regiment was re-
lieved by the 46th U. S. Colored In
fantry. Gen. Crawford had arrived at
New Orleans for supplies and reinforce
ments. At Brownsville affairs look
squally. Gen. Mejia has put up earth
works and mounted guns between Mata-
moras and the river, which command
the town, and Gen, WeitzCl in conse-
quence has ordered the rebuilding OF old
Fort Brown, on which 30pOund par
rott is already placed, and pontooa
train is in readiness. United States
officers and men are not allowed to
cross the river.
We are not surprised to learn that
our government has issued peremptory
orders to General Sheridan to take i'm
mediate steps to enforce the laws against
Crawford and his fllibusters, for such
they must be regarded, acting without
authority to embroil two nations now
at peace. Astonishment is very natu-
rally expressed that General Sheridan
should have permitted any such pro-
ceedings. A New Orleans account says
the affair was gotten up for the purpose
Of plumber.

Reservation of Southern Lands.

Gen. Sherman, it will be recollected,
reserved by military order, under au-
thority from the War Office, the Sea Isl
ands of South Carolina and the lands on
the rivers thirty miles back from the
sea, for the benefit Of the freedmen of
South Carolina and Georgia. This is
likely to prove difficult problem for
Congress to solve, as some of the former
rebel owners have been pardoned and
are now claiming their lands. General
Howard of the Freedmen's Bureau, has
as yet been unable to effect a compro-
mise,
There is a bill before the Senate to
confirm the freedmen's title, but it has
been amended so as to enable them to
hold them for three years only--a compro-
mise that many think fails to do justice
to either party. 1t is contended by some
that whether the lands be given to the
negroes for three years or forever, the
act will be alike unconstitutional and
void. 1t has been suggested that the
government either purchase the lands
for the freedmen or give them an equiv
alent in other lands.

Grand Larceny by the Spirits.

A singular case is now pending in the
New York Courts. An old lady by the
name of Eliza ]. Cutler, who has been
for years firm believer in spiritualism,
and had in fact become a medium her
self, complains Of having been stripped
Of all her worldly effects, and reduced
from afluence to poverty. The old
lady with her husband, had accumulat-
ed large fortune in the fruit business
in Fulton Market, and retired to private
life some years since.
After her husbands death, which oC-
Cured some five years ago, she pur-
chased house and fitted it up in supe-
rior style, and soon became very bospi-
table towards the people Of her peculiar
faith: On the complaint of her son, re-

OF which have mysteTiOusly disappeared,
as the old lady was made to believe,
through the agency Of the Spirits" and
in response to their demands This
state OF things continued until she was
reduced to absolute want. By the aid
OF the police, most Of this property has
been traced tn the possession of two
spiritual friends, Riley and Galbr&ith,
who claimed that they had purchased
H. They were arrested on the charge
Of receiving stolen goods, and have
been committed for trial. The old lady
tes.iteS that her house has been silently
robbed FOR the past few years OF watch
es, jewelry, furniture and clothing, and
that the spirits visited her while in
bed and put chlorofOrm to her nose :"
but that she had been led to believe that
after time her property would be re-
| stored to her again by the same agency.
She says: "My stair carpets were stolen
within the last two months; they rob
