The Chairman of the Mississippi Demo.
cratic State Committee has issued an adj
dress asking the people of that State
to unite in the observance by appropriate
religious ceremonies OF the THANKSGIVING
day appointed by the President, making
the occasion one of special praise and
Thanksgiving for the dcliverance of Mis-
slsSlppi from the rule of vice and ipno-
rance, as we'll rs one invoking the Divine
blessing upon their Efforts to restore
good government and material prosper
lty, and to promote the intellectual and
moral advancement of that afflicted COM
monwealth. The address advocates
moderation and magnanimity towards
the defeated party who have brought
such disasters upon the State, deprecates
the exhibition of any prcdjudicc against
race, urges an improvement of the COM
mon school system, ard the adoption of
such measures by the newly-elected
Legislature as shall place Mississippi, "by
4 just and wise policy, in her normal
relations with the general government,
whereby she may contribute her full
share 20 the common glory and prosperi-
ty OF the natiou.'

The homestead laws of Georgia give
heads OF families 81, 100 personality and
$4,000 real estate in gold. An cndcavor
was made at the last session to reduce
this amount, but it failed. The Legisla-
ture granted ouch estates to be eucum-

eight or zen thousand dollars week, the
most of which was distributed among

large part of it forwarded to Washing

While in Washington he called on the

showing the advantage Of supplying the

dollars per ton less than the government

We see no hope for the Republicans Of
Mississippi but in Il true repentance for
past misdecds, and the presentation at
future elections of tickets which are not
distinct threats to the material welfare of
the commonwealth. That is the only
way to secure return to power. That
is the only way to secure republican os-
crndancy anywhere. 1t would be the
only way if the colorcd vote were twice
as great as it is. And unless it is adopt
ed III South Carolina, the republican ma
Jori'y will disappear as totally and as
suddenly as it has in Mississippi. This
is no new doctrine with us. We have
been preaching it, in season and, out of
season, fer eight years. much to the dis
gust of partisans. We are glad to see
that the truth is becoming evident even

a Ghost in . Calaboose.

9
1ackensaek, in Bergen ,coqnty,
has a sensation in the shape of q
I genuine ghost which haunts the
countu Jail and creates the utmost
CONSERVATION and alarm among the
/ prisoners and other inmates. The
spirit has been recognized as that of
John w. Avery. the young man who
was hanged in the Jail on June %,
1872. for murder. The mysterious
phenomena which accompany the
appearance Of the spirit were at first
attributed to some plan of escape
coneocted by the prisoners, but re-
cent Developments prove that such
is. not the case. A prisoner, named
Wallace, who was confined in the
Jail in October last. and who was fa-
miliar with Avery, solemnly. affirlns
that his spirit appeared one night,
and was distinctly seen to walk
around one OF the tiers and pull the
bed clothing off a German prisoner
who was confined ip the cell former
ly occupied by Avery. The Ger
man. who is still prisoner, con-
firms the story, and many persons
who visited Avery now remember
that he made a solemn promise be-
fore his death to revisit the jail af-
ter his execution. The story of his
latest appearance seems to be we'll
authenticated, several of the prison
ers thoroughly agreeing in their
statement of all the alleged facts.
The phenomenon occurred about
midnight on Sunday, and there is no
doubt that the utmost CONSERVATION
and alarm prevailed among the pris-
oners. As is customary in all WE'LL
regulated ghost stories, the clock
had just ceased striking ~ when
soft, unnatural light filed the whole
interior of the Jail and awakened all
the prisoners. Some of them were
terror,stricken and buried their
heads beneath the bed clothing,
while others seemed to be paralyzed
so that they could not move, and
were thus compelled to be unwilling
witnesses of the supernatural scenes
and sounds that followed. They
solemnly aver that they heard one
of the windows raised and felt the
cold sir rush in. Then the shadowy
form Of man, all plainly visible ex-
cept the legs, seemed to glide be-
tween the bars and mp the stairs to
the top tier of cells. The figure
stopped in front or the cell which
had been occupied by Avery, and,
opening the door, entered. The
opening and closing of the door were
distinctly heard. After the lapse of
a few minutes the figure reappeared,
and its footballs on the steps as it
descended again were distinctly
heard. The figure passed around
all the tiers of cells, aud then float.
ed down on the washroom, and was
heard to turn on the water. Final
| ly the ghost returned to the window
and disappeared as it had entered,
and the blush light gradually faded
away. This is substantially the
story as told by several Of the pris.
oners, who claim to have been eve.
witnesses, and express their firm
belief that they saw Avery's ghost.

exercised to know who and W hat the
strange individual who perambulated
about the streets on Friday and Saturday,
dressed in the garb OF friar, Is and
what he wants. In reply TO their inqui-
ries we will say, that he is Bulgarian
missionary, named A. y. EXperidan, who
has travelled in nearly every country, in
Guiding Persia, Arabia, HIIndoostan, Pal
estine, China, Japan, Turkey, East
India and Mormondom. lie Is q native
of Bulgaria, and was for some time a slave
OF the Turks ; he was ransomed with his
family, by the Russian government at a
cost of thirty-ilyc thousand dol
lars, and educated by the same
at st. Petersburg. Constantinople,
Oxford and Paris. He speaks nucntly
thirteen languages. In 1866 he became
a priest in the Greek Church, and in 1868
was employed by that church ut a salary
of one hundred and fifty dollars per
month to make a tour of the earth, by
which he will be enabled to write a his
tory of mankind. His appearance is
singular. His costume Is of the
simplest character. consisting Of
y long black muslin dress, n red lanncl
cap, lifting closely upon the crown of his
head, and II pair OF coarse leather shoes.
He seems the personiication of stoical
self-denial and economy. He has visited
every city and town OF any note In
America. and Is now about to finish up
his travels in this country. It is his in
tention to deliver lecture In the Liberal
Religious Hall this evening. which will,
no doubt, be Of unusual interest and
