PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT G.
S. Barney, the renowned violinist, who
visited this place several years ago, now
reappears accompanied by his brother,
an accomplished magician, who has
manifested extraordinary proficiency at
all places where he has exhibited his
wonderful powers. He proposes to
give an entertainment this evening in
Columbia Hall, at which everybody is
excluded " except editors and Briga-
der Generals. unless they pay so cents,
:" four bits half dollar, or the equiva-
lents." Prof. Barney is no humbug
although he may make his living by
fooling the people through his slight
of-hand performances. So long as our
half-a-dollar is safe we don't care what
becomes of that which belongs to the
dear public. We hope to see every
body out to night-or rather Il, Column
bia Hall-to witness one of the best ex-
hibitions of the season.

A vER1TABLE HUMBUG.

A few days ago the announcement
was made that renowned rpirit me-
dunn would hold, seance, at the res
idence of an estimable lady of this
place, where twas proposed to per-
form, by spirit aid, all the cabinet feats
of the Davenport brothers. On Sun
day evening, an audience of fifteen or
twenty persons assembled to, witness
the, demonstrations. The room was
darkened, and the medium" placed
1.-THE cabinet, plain box about five
feet square and two feet deep. standing
upright with door in front, containing
two appertures about five inches square
near its top. He was fastened to a
chair by small cord, which was passed
under the rounds and firmly tied around
bis wrists. bringing the palms close to-
gether. Soon as the door was closed,
hands and faces were shown at the APP
perfumes, BELLS were rung, 10 harmcnica
was played and even q sepnlchral voice
was heard issuing from the cavernous
depths of the cabinet. All this was
claimed to be the work Of spiritual
agency, but when it vas suggested tia.
goblin faces should appear at both APP
perfumes simultaneously, the manifesta-
tons came to n sudden close. At the
next seance the medium found consid-
cradle difficulty in removing his letters.
and the verdict was universal that the
pretended supernatural agency was all
ssham. Thejig was up for Mr. Jacobs,
and making q virtue Of necessity. he
has since been exposing what he terms
&" Spiritualism.f That he. knows but
little or nothing OF the. phenomena u.s.
ually classed under that term, Is appar-
ent 70 anybody who possesses know
ledge ON the subject How he could
have met with the success apparent
from the notices OF the press in San
Francisco, Victoria and Seattle, is a
mystery. This is, however, a poor
feld for -humbugs Scores have come
to grief here, after passing unscathed
through our sister towns.

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY MORNING, nov. IS, 1871
THE TOPIC OF THE WEEK.

The loss of the steamship Pacific, on
her downward trip, announced by an
extra issued from this Office last Sun
day morning, is unhappily confirmed
by subsequent reports. The detailed
statement of Mr.. Jelly appears in the
communication of our Port Townsend
correspondent, and subsequent mar
ration of the horrors of the disaster
made to the ColoniS reporter, and the
corroborating statements of the ships
quartermaster, which likewise appear,
give all the information obtained up to
the hour at when this article was writ
ten. From these it appears that the
chances of escape by other survivors OF
the wreck are very remote, the boats
having been capsized during the ex-
element which prevailed at the time of
the wreck. The loss of life by this sad
disaster appans the stoutest heart. Sew
eral of our oldest residents and most
respected citizens were among the pas
sengers by the lost vessel, and the un-
certainty of their fate inficts, if posi-
BILE, greater pain than if Hope did not
inspire lingering anticipation that all
may yet be we'll. Among those were
Fred D. Hard, formerly Postal Agent
for this Territory, young man OF
bright promise, respected by all who
knew him; John Condor, an old resid-
emit of Port Gamble, and for many
years a Steward of the Puget Mill Co.,
Messrs. Vining and Robbins, of the
puyallup valley, the former leaving a
large family; Mr.. Chisholm, Of the Port
Discovery Mill, Fred Garesohe, the
popular express agent at Victoria, and
Mrs. Mahon, who was returning from a
brief visit to relatives in Pierce county.
The Pacific was an old vessel of some
1000 tons burden, but was deemed en-
tirely seaworthy and commanded by
one of the ablest and best officers in
the mercantile marine service. Capt.
JEFF. Howell, who passed away while
on the raft the third day after the disas-
ter, was universally respected and made
many warm friends here, during the
short time the company's vessels had
been running to the Sound. s.
1t is hoped that the vessels now
cruising for the missing passengers will
be successful in the search, as it is
known that several of the RATS were
freighted with human life when they
disappeared from the sight of the sur
vieors.

in the actual case was as great as the crime
in the erander case supposed, could have been.
What we have merely fancied relative to
violent breaking up of the Democratic organ
ization of the United States House of Repre-
sentatives, is what actually happened in Lou
isiara eleven months ago, almost as we have
presented the occurrence. The Democratic
members of the Louisiana House of Repre-
sentatives were actually singled out by Camp
bell and Vigers, and thrust out literally at the
points of the bayonets Of United States SOL
diers, acting directly by the orders OF the
President. Enough Democrats were driven out
in this manner to give preponderances
to the Radicals, and under the sting of this
CALLING insult and outrage the Democratic
members abandoned the House, as they were
in honor bound to do.
There is no difference in principle between
the fact as it was, and the event as 1t might
have been or may hereafter be, at Washing
ton. One act of gross, base, remorseless and
atrocious tyranny renders a second and
greater act only the more to be apprehended.
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-12-07

causing the Radical authorities to suspend
the prosecution of criminals IN oroef INV
they may give no aid to the Democrats u VIZ
House, will yet hold the maladmlnls'fa'ion
and baseness of the present civil serVlce III
all its deformities up to the full view OF 'he
American people.
Special thanks are due to the eminent MIS-
sissippian for the declaration which he pro-
nominees in behalf of the Democratic men,
be-s as to the payment of the national debt
and the preservation of the good faith OF the
country unmeaired and as to the restoration
of the now irredeemable currency OF the
country to the par of gold. Equal merit
must be awarded for the promise made IN the
name of the Democratic party to re-estaolish
home rule, and to ''restore the CONSTITUTION
to its pristine strength and authority.
Those who accuse the Democratic party OF
being a hide-bouad and exclusive close cor
poration will do we'll to read again and re-
member the language in which the orator. IN
the name of his party, acknowledges the ala
rendered by independent voters. We repeat
his words:
LIE. us not forget that the great victory OF
last fall which brought US here, and when
gives us these opportunities and great re-
sponsibilties was achieved not alone by
Democratic votes, but with the cooperating
efforts of patriotic and unselfsh men of all
parties who, wearied and alarmed by the I'M
ceasing evils resulting from corruption and
mal-administration, chose to call Us to the
duty of checking these evils and clearing
away these corruptions. We should SO rule
ourselves and so serve our country as to re-
tain the confidence of these voters.
In fact, a very magnanimous tone marks the
whole of this vigorous, careful, brief and most
effective speech, which sounds to us like the
bugle note which calls patriots to the field on
the dawn of the Gay of conflict.
