 The Ohis SpirituAlists were easily deceived by the Democratic managers in tho recent campaign. As the story goes, shortly before the close of the canvass ingenious circulars were prepared and mailed to some twenty thousand Spititualists throughout the State, whose addresses hgd been quietly obtained from the publication offices of the various SpirituaIistiO newspapers issued in the United States In these circulars the charge was

Of course, these representations were false hoods, but the lying accusation came so late, and was so industriously and secretly spread abroad, that there was no opportunity for adequate correction to be made. Not only does the Jennings law not interfere with Spiritualists at large. but it only applies to professional and money making mediums in the one city of Cincinnati, no other cities in the State having s population rsquisito to bring them within the terms of the statute. Shortly before the election letters began to be received by the Republican State central committee from prominent Republicans throughout the State, who were also Spiritu

The supreme court of the state OF
New York, Judge Davis presiding,
rendered on Wednesday an important
decision, which reverses the previous
Judgment of Judge Haight, to the
effect that mandamus could not issue
to compel a railroad company to for
ward freight. Judge Davis holds that
a railroad corporation Is obliged to
furnish reasonable facilities at all
times for the transportion of freight
and passengers, and that in case said
corporation fail to comply with its
duties as public carrier, writ of
mandamus can issue to compel rail-
road companies to forward, with due
diligence and expedition. freight and
passengers. The court commended that
the strike of the freight handlers last
year did not vitiate the obligations,
expressed or implied, of the corpora
tion, rs the freight strike was not in
itself an unlawful act. The laborers
In concerted action, without threats of
violence. demanded an advance of
three cents an hour. The companies
were not legally bound to conform to
that rate, but they had nj right to
make the public suffer by persistent
opposition of the corporations to the
demands of the workmen for higher
wares

GEN. RosEcRANZs plan by which

the result of the direct expressions on
the subject from all the voters in a
precinct or district, is attracting some
attention Just now. The generals
idea is that registrar should be ap-
pointed in each district, to take CEN
sus every year of the voters residing
therein. The registration lists are to
be open to the inspection OF every
body at all times, giving opposing par
ties chance to keep each other hon
est. When a vacancy occurs in an
Office, or upon the approach of a
regular election, a list of the offices to
be filled is to be printed, with blank
space under each for the name
of the candidate. These lists
are to be mailed or delivered by mes.
senger TO each voter on the registry
list, with request that he write the
names of his choice in the spaces left
for that purpose These are to bt
collected in box, with "A slit on top
which can only be opened by board
appointed or elected to count the
votes. The candidate having th'
largest number of votes would be the
nominee. Gen, Rosecranz is conf
dent that this plan would be an al
mirable substitute for the present
primary election system, which FIRE
quently places men in nomination TO
Office without regard to the wishes o
the majority of the voters.

HY. WATTERSON thinks the
Democracy will be defeated in 1884.
We know very well that the Demo-
Gratis have hard fight before them;
they must oppose the power of over
one hundred thousand federal office
seekers, backed by the assurance
given them by Pendleton's civil
service reform measure, and the
necessity for protecting the rec
ords against inspection; but with all
this we know too that the Kentucky
editor is not among the most noted
of political prophets. He said Tilden
would be inaugurated in 1881, and
that when the time came one
one hundred thousand Kentuckians
would be in Washington to see it
well done. But when the time did
arrive for inaugurating the fraudulent
Hayes it was asked, where are these
brave Kentucky boys and Chief Wat
terson, and echo answered in the CORR
doris of the federal capital, Where?
