POLITICAL.

Notwithstanding the able living Of tie
correspondents of certain Republican,
newspa 1ers there IS no discussion among
Democratic members of Congress on the
question of revising the present discrim-
mating aad therefore unjust tariff The
Democrats are unit as to the prorriety
of all classes of taxable property paving
a just proportion Of the burthen, but
there is a very wide die sence Of op;n on
as to the propriety of opening up the
question at all Upon this point there has
been some discussion, developing the
act that large number, though prob
bly, not majority, are opposed to
opening the question at all, particularly
at this session. Those anxious to open
the ball on the tariff with a few notable
exceptions, simply desire. while possibly
scaling it down trihe. to adjust the
fragrant inequalities resulting from the
disposition of Republican Congresses to
yield to the wishes of certain protection

features or interests.-Dayton Democrat

1t is not a question of free trade, for

We now repeat suggestion we made

establishes good system of dirt or gravel
roads, we will be wiling to concede il the

A bill is pending in the Virginia
Legislature to remove the disabilities Of
statesmen who have engaged in dueIing.
During debate one of the members Of
the House took occasion to insist that
dueling was an innocent Eirginian pas
time, far less dangerous than the amuse-
ments Of other localities, and was not,
therefore, the great offense it was suppos-
ed to be. Nobody will question the
truth of this. But if the law should be
repealed what would the Virginia Legis-
lature have to do? The Malone gang
repudiatd the public debt, paralyzed
business and destroyed things generally.
The removal of dueling disabilities is
about all that is lect.-Dayton Democrat

Exposure of spiritualist In MOberly.
An itinerant calling himself A. F. Ack-
erly, and registering from New York,
says a Moberly (Mo.) special of the LIST
inst. to the Chicago Tribune, appeared in
this city Saturday last and arranged with
some of Moberly's spiritualistic citizens
to give a seance at a fashionable residence
Sunday evening, at an admission fee OF
81. AT the time and place appointed
goodly number of ladies and gentlemen
assembled, and Mr.. Ackerly, with all his
paraphernalia of cabinet, musical instru-
ments, etc., was promptly on hand and
ready to go ahead with his ghostly enter
tainment. Placing himself in front of his
cabinet, between gentleman and
side, the performance was appa-
rently ready to begin, and would
doubtless have gone on to sue
cessful conclusion had it not been tor a
most untimely and disastrous mishap,
which came about in this wise. Among
the audience was the athletic and natu-
rally suspicious Mike Willott, who, unob-
served by the medium, slipped around and
entered the cabinet for the purpose of TAX
ing observations. A dim light was burn
ing in the room, and when the medium,
having hold of the crossed hands Of those
sitting beside him, making it appear to
them that both his hands were engaged.
slyly released one of them and slipped it
through the curtain for the purpose of
playing banjo lying on small table in
side the cabinet, Mr.. Willott, who was
keenly on the alert, seized the wrist with
a vise-like grip in one hand, and
with the other following up the
lead found to his indignant amaze
nent that the hand, instead of be-
longing to a spirit Of health or goblin
damped was a veritable attachment to
Mr.. Ackerly himself. At this revelation,
Mr.. Willott, in his Indignation at the dis
cOvery of such a palpable fraud, jerked
the medium from his chair. and COM
menced pounding him most numerically
with his fist, damaging him severely both
in health and good looks. Ladies
screamed and tainted, while men were
aghast at such an untoward and sudden
outcome Of the seance. The company
seized on his apparatus for the manufac-
ture of ghosts, and refused to return it.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon Mr.. Ackerly
was arrested on warrant charging him
with fraud and deception. He was i'm
mediately arraigned before Judge Coates
and bound over to await the action of the
grand jury, which meets here in Septem-
