The defen dants were committed without bail. - Each of the prisoners asserted .that he. could have given bond if it had been allowed. iAbout thirty, witnesses were recognized to .appear at the next term of the criminal :eourt,to go before, the grand jury. The evidence in this case is altogether circum stantial,, as' the men were not identified at the time they are alleged to have commit ted, the crime' as 'they' wore masks, and hence the necessity of such a large number of Witnesses. . The justices before - whom the case was investigated spared no time or care' in se curing evidence that .might throw light up on the mater, -and their action in commit ting the defendants meets with the ap proval of the people in Sandy Mush town ship who desire jie conviction of the guil ty parties to the outrage. : Lon' Wells, of Madison county, has -been retained by the defendants and will be in Asheville Saturday to arrange for assist ant counsel and in otherwise preparing for the defense of these men.- V - - .

' The sub Ject of spiritualism is not very well known in the south and west, though it has made rapid strips .in the '"north 'and east. It is comparatively young; oaly having tbeen dis5 covered .a'b)ut fifty .years, ago -in the state of New vYork. i.'Its history - is exceedingly interesting and duringJ its' brief career has attained almost phenomonal growth, there nemg aDout twenty buiion. spiritualists to day in America. : No syBlem"bf theology or religion has grown so. rapidy ; "Spiritualists are thevoniy. people who even pretend to, oroffer: any evidence of another' life - All religions are based on a faith ii a spiritual worlds Christianity is based on ancient scriptufev. though, our modern christianiay is noUv Evidences .and demonstrations of a spiritual world were giveu ireeiy;', tiuriag me,A iiays oi eaxiy Christiaaty -Christianity.' is based alto gether a, spiritual world. "Spiritualism, given in a generalized form 4s a great system of religion and phy siological research' consists' of two parts: phenomena and physiology The first fea ture is 'varied in ' its" nature and 'occurs mainly through the agency of certain' per sons knbWn as mediums. ' We must not im agine that' a medium is' an extraordinary wonder. - As to mediumship it has been as certained that all persons possess this in a greater or . less degree by cultivating it. : . "The phenomena of. spiritualism consists of. thoseS things.: which used to be.jknowa as . miracles -It is , imposible to . .coatem plate a vphysiological happening, .contrary to. the laws of nature. Every event, al ways occurs according to the' laws of 'some particular, realm of nature. The. telegraph is . a miracle .to' those who have' neveFheird of it. ' The scientific world has flooded 'the whole-dearth with miracles and the time has come when no man says thatH anything i? impossible, , - ';' 'C'. ; Spiritualists believe 'lhal everything la am endable ; to nature aid '- this the grand work Science is "doing"' 'Science has over thrbwri' the-fables of mythology by dis covering a universal law -which will out live the ; doctrine of modern theology.
