@In John Montgomery's saloon in

~In John Montgomery's saloon in
Galliopolis, Ohio, the spirits have been
performing wonders, through the aid of
one of their mediums A correspon
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives
the following particulars:
"The medium, lively chap Of this
place, came into the saloon and calling
John aside, said put one of your hands
upon my shoulder and with the other
take hold of both nv wrists, which be-
ing done, Johns. coat calmly and gen.
tly as child slumhers, slid off his
shoulders upon the floor, OF course
John was astonished, and when he was
handed thirty feet of "trot" line and
told to tie the medium to a chair in a
sitting posture, and having done so, saw
the medium arise without rope about
bim, he was more astonished, and this
was not allayed when the aforesaid cord
was found in the hall, all of the win
dows, and doors being fastened, But
the most astounding feat of all is this,
namely, that the medium allows q man
(any one) to tie him, sew him up in q
bag, seal the bag with sealing wax, put
the bag in box and lock the box Sc.
curely, when throwing cloth over the
box, in less than sixty seconds the NE.
dium is found sitting on the cover, the
bag, seal and cord being found inside
intact, This has been accomplished land
that, too, by young man of good
character, never Spiritualist, at least
not until thirty days since, and entirely
above and independent of mercenary
motives"

ED. SPIRIT: If it is agreeable to you
and to your readers, we will continue
this winter to say few words from time
to time, through the medium of THE
SPIRIT, detailing some of the incidents
which are daily transpiring at the Capt.
tol Of the State, and especially those in
which we think your readers will be gen
orally interested
The meeting of the Legislature is, and
always must be, an interesting event to
the people Of the State~ Thew best and
highest interests are affected by its &C
ton, and consequently its doings will,
and should, receive the severest scruti-
ny.
The General Assembly has eommenc-
ed its labors in earnest. Eshelman, the
Chairman of the Finance Committee, in
troduced the appropriation. bill on the
first day of the session This is perhaps
the first time in the history of Ohio leg
islation that this has been done whether
it will prove wise and advisable remains
to be seen. 1t is certain that we will
have to wait until the report from the
Punitive, Refermative and Benevolent
Institutions, before we can perfect the
bill and place it upon the statute book
. Senator Thurman gave reception to
the Democratic members of the General
Assembly on Thursday night, previous
to his departure for Washington City,
1t was grand affair. The members in
a body called on the Governor at his
rooms in the Irving House, and after
spending very pleasant half hour in
Misunderstanding and introductions to bis
daughter, Mrs. DR.. Scott, who will in all
probability be holding receptions at the
White House, some day, in Washington
City, the members, accompanied by the
Governor, proceeded to the Neal and
made their call upon the Senator. 1t
was splendid affair throughout and was
enjoyed hugely, and will long be remem-
bcred by those who had the pleasure of
participating in its enjoyments.
The large company spent about an
hour in social greetings and lively exhi-
bltlons OF sparkling VIII ana Dfliilant re-
partee, when supper was announced and
the entire party, accompanied by Senator
Thurman and the Governor, proceeded
to the banquetingroom. The delicacies
Of the season lowered mountain high
upor the table, which literally groaned
beneath its load After doing ample
Justice to the good things So bountifully
provided, the cloth was removed and the
feast of reason and the flow of soul com
menced, and continued in toast and
speech and song until late hour. The
! whole affair was a success Senator
Thurman said it was the first opportuni-
ty that had presented itself at which he
could meet his friends of the General
Assembly since his election last Winter.

and speeches in the papers

/ RWe fiud the following rather mys-
terious paragraph in the Cincinnati Com
mereial OF the 7th:
"The Times has not stated with that at
tention to specification which distin-
guishes truth and innocence, how much
money James w Sands raised for Van
Vorhes during the Congressional strug.
gle."
This suggestive paragraph has stimu-
lated our curiosity to the point OF asking
a question or two, which seem to be in
order, of any one who may be able to an
swer them.
Is the SANDS mentioned, tie same
JAMES W. SANDS Who has won a national
notoriety as professional lobbyist7
If SO, why should he be interested to
the extent Of furnishing money to secure
the election of Mr.. VAN Worries?
II Mr.. VAN VoaHls accepted money
from SANDS to aid in his election, is there
not probability that Mr.. V. V. will be
suspected of being engaged to aid the
great lobbyist in getting through Con-
gress some Of his big jobs?
Wehave no wish to do VAN WORRIES
any injustice. but his understood connec-
tion with the Athens ring, the manner OF
his nomination, the manner OF his elec,
ton, and numerous other things all point
ing in the same direction have cast sus
picion upon him that he>cannots we'll af.
ford to ignore. tits putting the case very
mildly to say that in this county, at least,
among men of both political parties, there
is marked lack of confi.lencein his rec
titude.
If he will vindicate himself from these
suspicious, through this paper, or any
otLer that may come under our notice, we
will in perfec. good faith give him the
benefit of such vindication,, and will aid
him to the best Of our ability in gaining s
higher place in the estimation Of his con
stituents.
