Is 1T A HUMBUG?

The above was, we suppose, the question
asked themselves by nine-tenths Of the
audience which attended the performance
of Mr.. c. A Mansfeld's mediums, at the
Opera House, last night, and after witness
ing the wonderful exhibition which the
mediums gave of their power, the question,
we imagine, iu some minds yet remains un-
answered. 1t would be impossible for us III
our limited space to give detailed account
of the seance. Suffice it to say that all who
attended were amply repaid for the time
and money expended.
Mr.. Mansfield does everything under the
eyes of an investigating committee appoint
ed by the audience, that of last evening
consisting of Messrs. John G. Springer, A.
j. Van Duzee, and William Sparks. They
as well as the entire audience were COM

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Judiciary Committee of the House has
authorized its Chairman TO report bill repeal
ing the Bankruptcy law.
Secretary Sherman has given his views at
length before the Senate Finance Committee
regarding the House bill repeating the Re-
sumption act. He said he thought it unwise
and inexpedient to repeal the Resumption act.
Not that it would have any influence at home,
but he thought it would be keeping faith with
the creditor and the people abroad if we re-
sumo in 1879 as we had promised He thought
it was entirely practicable, and that resump-
ton could be effected without the slight
est injury to our commercial prosperity.
The Secretary gave the amount of gold and
silver now in the treasury vaults, stating the
sum to be about $50, 900, 600 or go, 900. 900
outside of all demands. He was questioned in
regard to the effect of the Silver bill on the re-
sumption question: and said that he had to adj
NIT that the effect of the bill generally had
been good, and that in connection with re-
sumption it had been decided advantage.
Orders have been issued from the Treasury
Department, authorizing the purchase Of silver
bullion in lots of 10, 600 ounces or less, at the
rnints the price to be equivalent to the market
rate in London-7payment to be made in silver
dollars as fast as they are coined, and in gold
when silver is not available.
The death Of Hon. John Allison, Register Of
the Treasury, is announced. He died suddenly
Of apoplexy. Mr.. Allison was &C years Of age.
He was appointed Register Of the Treasury by
Gen. Grant in 1869.
The President has appointed the following as
Government Directors OF the Union Pacific
railroad Chas. F. Adams Jr., Massachusetts,
Ralph P. auckland, Ohio G. W. Smythe, Iowa;
Daniel Chadwick, Connecticut, and G. G.

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGs.

The appearance Of O'Donovan Rosa, the
wel-known Fenian leader was the occasion Of
serious riot in Toronto, Canada one day last
week. The hall where he was featuring was
stoned, couple OF taverns where Irishmen
had congregated we're attacked, and numbers
OF shots and showers Of stones were exchanged
by the hostile forces. Some twenty persons
were perforated with bullets, and the number
hurt by the flying stones were too numerous to
name. The police had considerable difficulty
in quelling the riot.
Gen. Sir William o'Grady Haley, Command
erin Chief Of the British troops in North
America, died at Halifax, N. s., last week.
1t now turns out that the mission Of Con-
gresham Leonard to Havana, where he died
Of yellow fever, was a purely private one, and
not as an agent of the Government, as has
been stated. He went there for the purpose of
seeing young Cuban lady whom he had met
in New Orleans, and to whom he was engaged
TO be married. Her parents opposed the
match, and, failing to hear from her, and be-
lieving that she was forbidden to hold commu-
