Close Of the Discussion Between
Messrs. Graves and Watson.

Ralaam and Moses, and David and
Daniel, and in fact nearly ali the pa
triarchx and prophets of old held IN
tercourse with spirits, and talked with
them face to face. The apostles re-
caived directions and held intercourse
with spirits. .r -,

and delivereth them" Again, HE
shall rive his angels charge over thee
to keep thee in all thy ways
With these strong proofs of spirit
intercourse. together with many oIh-

scriptures, we can well say that It
seems 10 us from the Bible teaching

The Close.

At the close of the discussion, Judge
Perkins, one of the umpires, came for
ward and said that the important
question was that the sum of $50 was
short for the rent of the hall, and he
proposed that collection be taken up
by DIR. b. Avent Colonel NJ. d. l..
Stewart and Colonel Eldridge. APP
pluse.l He wished also to inform the
audience that the Judges were unable
TO decide the question as to which of
the clergymen had the best of the ar
pument. and would allow the audi
ence to settle the question for them
selves.
A stampede was made for the door,
and no collection was taken up.

Times on Our Legal Tender Decision.
LONDON, May 4.-The Times special, from
Versailles, says On Wednesday night,
three divisions of the army of the assembly,
under the immediate command of McMa-
hon, advanced toward the enceinte of Paris,
through BOis de Boulogne. An entire corps
was ordered to follow, but owing to eireum-
stances, imprudent to explain, the move
ment was not consummated
1t is positively stated Theirs refuses to
enter into a commercial treaty with Ger
many, and Bismarck has protested against
the unjust discrimination made by France
against German commerce.
1t Is reported the commune requested
those of the Orleans princes Sill In Paris 70
leave the city.
Midnight-A rumor is circulating that the
Versailles government is needless of the
extending Algerian insurreetion.
The procureur general in the assembly, in
a. debate upon the removal of Gambetta's
magistrates, said: Though some were bad
they were preferable to Napoleonists. 1t
was Theirs and not the commune that or
dered the expulsion of the remaining Or
leans princes"
The delegates to the Brussels peace treaty
have gone home for further instructions,
one party to Versailles and the other to
Berlin.
The Commons, in voting upon the budget
as whole, sustained the government by
forty-six majority.

ORLEANS FRIDAY

Assembly after the expiration OF said five
days, or be law"
AS it is essentially necessary that the five
days shall have expired before an act can
become law by constitutional limitation,
/ fail to perceive how either of these acts
can be said to have become a law by such
limitation, when the five days limit does
not expire until the first day of the next
session of the General Assembly; conse-
quently, your statement that since the ad-
j0urnment of the General Assembly House
bill No. % has been allowed to become law
by constitutional limitation, and that it is
now known as act No. As, of 1871, evidences
that the act has been improperly promul-
gated as having become law by such linn
itation.
am at loss to understand how the i'm
proper PRONUNCIATION of House bill No. %,
or, as it is commonly known, the Bayou
Bartholomew BILL can be made use of as an
argument to prove that the Crescent City
Waterw orks bill, which was received at the
same time, and which is still before me, has
become a law.
One error should not surely he used as an
argument in favor Of the commission Of an
other.
Trusting that my reply will afford you
such information as will enable you to sub
nit satisfactory answers to the inquiries of
the incorporators of the Crescent City
Waterworks, l have the honor to remain,

The following resolutions were adopted:
The Democratic party of Kentucky, re-
affirming the principles announced by the
conventions held since the war
Resolred FMt-Wise craftsmanship and
true patriotism require universal and I'M

Second-Industrie of the country demand
the abolition of the present mode of raising
revenues by which portions of the republic
are oppressed and robbed to enrich monopo-
lies of certain sections, and the speedy
adoption of a system by which the burdens
of taxation shall be equally and justly dis
tributed, and the taxes actually paid may
reach the treasury.
Third-The preservation of liberty is
possible only through the States, and we
protest against every act by which the
States are deprived of their just and con-
stitutional powers, and Sta to tribunals are
Invested of their proper and necessary Ju-
risdiction; and we are ready to JOIN In all
lawful and just measures 10 reverse the
tyrannical acts of the party, in power,
whereby it is sought to strip the States of
all rights aud to concentrate all power of
the government in a great centralized des-
potism. :,

with the use of the army and navy, suspen-
sion of the habeas corpus power, to declare
martial law, call out and invade a State
without the request of their State executive
or legislature, and other underlined means,

CHIPAGANA.
survey of Canal Route Complete,


CHIPAGANA, April 25 via Kingston,
Jamaica.-The survey of the canal route
from Cupiea bay to Atrato via the Napipi
river is completed, and the United States
steamer Resaca has returned t0this settle
meHt to aw6t the arrival of party from
Doca Paya.
Commander Selfridge thinks his discovery
is successful for the purpose intended. The
distance from Cupica bay to Atrato along
the bends of the Napipi river is sixty-nipe
miles and half, but in straight line only
twenty-seven miles.
From Atrato some of the party proceeded
to Vigia village, ten miles further up, for
provisions
The Napipi flows through mountainous
country About thirteen miles from its
mouth it divides, and obtains an additional
supply of water from the Daguado river,
tributary. 1t is proposed to make thirteen
locks from the Daguado, eighteen miles
from the Atrato, to construct tunnel
through the mountain, and descend TO the
Pacific by nine locks.
The survey occupied twenty-seven days.
No intelligence has been received from the
explorers who went up the Cue river. 1t Is
certain they have met the party following
the Paronchita river from AtratO. The ele-
vation in that direction is likely to exceed
that previously announced. Regarding the
route via Tanga, it is impracticable. The
party from the United States ship Girard
will return as they came. Those ON this
side intend drawing line from the head
waters of the Cue.
Great hardships were encountered by the
party all along that river, two-thirds Of the
men being stricken down with fever, and
over twenty seamen and macheteros are
under medical treatment at Beea Paya.
Only four men and one officer are able to
do anything.
The entire party return to the Resaca in
a fortnight.
1t is still hoped the route via Tueyra will
be successful
