Some of the ..nnnMa Uitin n fits Pierre Lorillard, the snuff and to bacco man of New Yoik, has a fine stable of racers in England, and he expects to enter every race. Pierre is a good "lobbyist," having" bad large experience in Washington in his efforts to keep up the price of "the weed," and if that pays in old England he will win. .Some Radicals say i -Jadge Thur mau should be the Democratic notni- nee for the Governorship of . Ohio, that Secretary Sherman will be nomi nated to run against him; 'The Wash ington correspondent of the Baltimore American (Radical) writes: 'The Ohio campaign of next fall is at tracting greater attention among politicians than any other topic." Every one appears to believe that its result will exercise a powerful influence on the Presidential con flict the year following Despite his de clinations it certainly looks as if Mr. Thur man will be the Democratic nominee for Governor of Ohio. This will unquestion ably bring out Secretary Sherman as his opponent. The latter,' his friends say, will be glad of the .opportunity to defeat Mr. Thurman, and will cheerfully resign from the Cabinet if the Republicans of Ohio se lect him as .their standard bearer in the gubernatorial fight.". i.

Kane, aad Kate,, became diatingoished as mediamsr Through Ihese persons an influence ,was manifested wich has been propagated throughout the oivil ized world. In 1850 an English gentleman undertook to explain'these ' manifestatlocs. He declaied them by hd'meahs saperhnv man, but simply nd sinf ally human; a mere contrivance for obtaining money. He became, however, a convert at last, and since that time the belief has extended un til probably there are from six to tea mil lions of persons In this county who are its "firm adherents. There ' are, Derbaps, as many more in England, where the subject hai been yery fully investigated. The Spiritualists in England number men of high rank in the Republic of Letters. Some of their conuibutions, in, ; vindication of the alleged science, have appeared in maga zines of high character and have been en dorsed by persons of the greatest respecta-r bility, among them Mr. Thackeray, the celebrated novelist, who endorsed one of these writers with, the ' most unequivocal expressions of his confidence and respect. At a dinner party in New York Thackeray was once called to account, in a. half hu merousway, for tbU ;verj emphatic en dorsement of what the educated and polite were accustomed to treat as a draft upon their credulity, Mr. Thackeray listened with imperturbable; calmness and . re plied, "It is all very well for you,. gentlemen, ., who have fortunately not had my experience, to be so incredulous, but I have myself witnessed manifestations of force which cannot be accounted for by me upon any known principle except some spiritual, tr,'at least, unknown power." Mr. Ambler read an article' from the Com JuU Magazine, of London, and in con nection with it the testimony of Holmes and Robert Dale Owen, as to the reality of these manifestations, and a very interest ing account of them, for. which, nnfortu nately, we have no room. He staled as the result of his reading and examination or his subject, that these and similar phe nomena have actually occurred in the day "me. As for the night exhibition of them. ne was not so clear, and finally remarked that, in his opinion, they seemed to point to the reaUty of a class of exUtencies out aide of ordinary human beings, that live ..j i,... n.. ..ti. ..,i..ih.uii. advanced aa to their character. . .

EpiTOB Much. of the argument used in your editorial on the cause of Eng land's distress, in the Stab of yesterday may safely be applied to our own country.; The writer desires to commend you for so plainly pointing out the source of poverty, .crime and wretchedness to a people, as is founffi'ih thej article .referred to. If hp people can. expect prosperiiy with a record that gives an average annual expenditure of $20 to every man, wqmaa and child, for strong drink, then are we in a worse con-, dition and with a darker future, unless the evil be corrected, than England can pos sibly be; and it behooves us to look the maiier Bquareiyio me iace. iuu siaie inai the sum - spent in the United States for liquors in the last ten years would have paid pirtne national debt. Now, what would you think if ; the writer stated that this conld be effected with about one year's ex penditure for liquors ? Facts are stubborn tnmes, and figures, they say, "don't lie." Then, from a report made by Secretary wens, over ten years ago, we nave the sum total spent for drinks annually, or . the value ot tne retail liquor sales for one year, which is the same thing, to be. one billion four hundred and eighty-three million. Jour nunarea ana nineiy-one tuntaand eight hun area ana tmy-pae aouars, (f 1,483,491,865), er at that time, forty-ihree dollars for every man, woman and child in the country. No one presumes to believe that there has been mu!ch improvement since then (1867). , So' Wat we spend for drinks over double what is attributed to England: The above figures could be moralized upon to a great length, but the matter belongs to you and your brethren orT the press. Mr. Editor, more thin all others, to discuss : and furnish a remedy, and with the hope that you' and oiners, potent to direct public sentiment in froper channels, will not in the future as n the past so Tightly view this truly vital question, I am, Pito Bono Publico.
