ITO the President of the United State
A Female spirituaIist Expo sed.

New YORK, June 2S.-An interesting spir-
itual case was brought ont here this morning.
Miss Van Wei, who pretended to perform the
Davenport tricks, was exposed by two ladies',
who made search of her person, on Sunday
night, at circle on Broadway. Miss Van
Wei was to be bound with a knot of tape,
fastened with paddock, the key of which
was to be left with the audience. After be-
ing put in her cabinet, she would be united
by the spirits and present persons with a
bracelet of flowers and pieces ofribbon. But,
previous to entering, she was to be search cd.
Two ladies discovered a duplicate key to the
paddock, with bracelet and ribbons, secret
ed on her person and coming out, so repre-
scented to the crowd assembled. holding up
the articles to view. In the excitement which
followed a ring and other jewelry was lost
Col. Goodwin had the two ladies arrested for
larcency and called before the police court,
when the above facts were disclosed. Other
regulations regarding this place and this sort
of spiritualism are to follow.

Bungled Dispatches.

The Associated Press dispatches of Sunday
asst contained an item so worded az ID state
aat Mr.. g alt, IN the Canadian parliament,
aoved resolution to indemnify the province
o. the expenses incurred IN armIng TO resist
he fenisns. The statement was either care
,ssslv or purposely 50 nodded as to lead TO
he belief that indemnity was TO be demand

the entire public accepted tina statement

nee had, OF supposed it had. 10 demand in
pemnity of foreign nation, or through
Ehat channel it could make demand, since
l. could have neither minister, plenipotentl-
hry, nor accredited agent Of its own, being
)nly q province and not nation. Yet the
dispatch, without some such construction
,0uid not be made to mean anything at all.
We find the solution of the puzzle in the
Jauadian papers. Mr.. Gait moved that the
executive officers of the Canadian government
% indemnifisd for having expended public
moneys, under extraordinary circumstances
without warrant of law Troops had been
paid and arms provided at the expenss of the
treasury, for which use of the public moneys
there had been no appropriation made by
parliament.
Mr.. Galt's motion was TO legalize this &C.
'tion-onlv this and nothing more-and had
nothing whatever to do with the United
States.
But this is not the only nor the worst com
plant we have TO make against the manage
gment of the Associated Press. Nearly every
sday we receive news by telegraph that Is ole
and stale, that we have already received By
mail. In one instance not long since, after
we had copied from New England exchang,
an Item of news, and had commented editori
ally upon the facts, the telegraph brought Vi
the news ~ which was already stale to our
readers.
These things occur constantly. Our nigh

One Issue Only.

The course of events shows that the people
of the country must combine, irrespective OF
party affiliations, to form great union restora-
ton party, whose efforts shall be directed with
| earnestness to the perfection of the work 40
auspiciously begun by President johnson. As
time lapses under the existing state of affairs,
we are drifting farther aud farther from safe
constitutional moorings, aud are like too near a
gulf in which all our hopes of civil freedom will
be swallowed up The one grand principle of
this new party will be proclaimed by its name
| II will simply demand that the nation shall not
be defraudcd of the fruits of its costly efforts in
the cause of Union and order. If partisans put
aemselves in the way of such a consummation,
tthey must be removed without hesitation.
The presidents ground is, that although each
house is made the Judge of the election returns
and qualifications of its own members, it does
not follow that it has the right, '.in time of
peace to shut out any state from the representa-
ton TO which IL is entitled by the constitution.
Nothing is palmer than that no such authority
follows. The radicals have stretched their au-
thority ill it has snapped, ard now they have
resorted to naked power. The right Of either
house of congress TO investigate does not involve
the right TO exclude. No such authority is given
TO congress by the constitution that to ex-
clude state from representation altogether If
so, then congress can consistently claim to
possess authority to destroy a state entirely
which is the very ground the radicals have to
assume in order to urge their plans with even
the appearance of consistency.
Said President johnson in one of his veto
messages, 81 hold it my duty to recommend to
YOU, in the interests of peace and in the inter
ests of the Union, the admission OF eUery state to
IFS STARE Of public legislation. However insubor-
dinate its insurgents or rebellious its people may
have been, it presents itselfno only in the at
titude of loyalty and harmony, but in the per
sons OF representatives, whose loyalty cannot be
questioned under existing constitution or legal
tests. Upon this broad ground the mass of the
people, as we believe, are prepared TO take their
stand They ask for restoration, perfect and
permanent. There should be but single party
to-day in the country, and that the great union
restoration party, whose single purpose ought
to be to cooperate with the president in his eff
forts to preserve the Union and thereby per-
petuate constitutional freedam-Boston Poxt
