Two Documents tluu ore tent not Consis- Singular Conduct of a Dious Young Man What a Learned Man Calls " The Spirit Qf Frolic A Professor In a Baptist College in North Carolina has got himself into a most unpleasant predicament. A young man named Ramseur, who attended the college, was arrested In December, 1871, charged with participating In the murder of a colored man named Thomas Boundtree. He admitted that he was on the raid, but denied that he had taken part In the actual killing. At the April term of the United States Circuit Court, held at Charleston, S. C, be was indicted for conspiracy and murder, and by the advico of his counsel plead cullty to " the conspiracy count, the murder count having been stricken out. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for eight years, but Judges Bond and Bryan intended to call the attention of the President to his case and to ask for his pardon. Prof. Taylor, one of his former teachers, has addressed a letter to the editor of The Bichmond Herald which is I li tended as an appeal to the Baptists of the United States in behalf of the young convict, who is a member of that denomination." In this letter the facts connected with the arrest, trial and conviction of Itamseur are so out-' rageously misstated that we felt com pelled topublish the petition addressed - to tne President by the youncr man's . father asking for the pardon of his son. After reading Mr. Bamsour's sworn petition and comparing it with Prof. Taylor's letter there are many pious Baptists in tha country who will begin to think that there ought to be a va cancy in the Faculty of Wake Forest College. The Hichmond Herald, the organ of the Baptist Church in Virginia, pub lishes the following : It Is hardly necessary to call attention to the following. Tho writer is well known by many of our reader.., and those who know him will wish for no endorsement of himself or of his state ment. That young Ramsem ought at once to be released from prison we have not a doubt. Will our friends-in Wash ington and at the North interest them - selves In his behalf by placing the facts of the caso,before the authorities? The Examiner and Chronicle and The Watch man and Reflector will greatly oblige us by copying Prof. Taylor's letter, and thus helping to secure the . release of a Baptist brother from the Albany peni tentiary. Dear Brother Dickinson I desire to lay before the readers of The Herald a plain statement of facta in regard to tho arrest, trial and conviction of a young man who was last year a student at this place. In do ing this I have a two-fold object: First, to enable thinking, Christian men In all sec tions of our country to form an idea in re gard to the operations of the Ku Klux laws. Second, to lead men of Influence to use such means as may result in the release of this . unfortunate youth. And before I go further, I may as well say that I am not an apologist for any atrocities which may have been committed under lynch law. Good citizens ' in the South as well as the'Korth are ready to condemn lawlessness, in whatever way or under whatever name it may be perpe trated. About last Christmas Mr. D. S. Ramsem, a student of seventeen years of age, came to my room and told me that there was a war rant out for his arrest on the charge of con spiracy and murder. With much feeling and youthful ingenuousness he told me that some time before, while at his home in Cleveland county, North Carolina, he had with a few companions, ridden a few miles In the night and returned without molesting anyone. This was done in that spirit of frolic or desire for adventure which would lead any boy of his ago to do the same On the night of December 80th the College was surrounded by United States soldiers . and the young man taken from the hall of his debating society and hurried off to Co , lumbia, 8. C. lie was incarcerated until April 12th, when he had the semblance of a trial. The charge of murder was struck out of his indictment, and by the advice of his lawyers be plead guilty to the charge of conspiracy; L e., he did not deny having acted as above stated. To those who are in formed in regard to trials in United States Courts in the South, it Is needless to say that they are mere farces. This youth was sentenced to eight year's confinement in pris on and one hundred dollars fine. He is now in the State Penitentiary at Albany, New York. In April, 1SS0, he will be discharged, lie will be twenty-five years old- His hopes for an education will all be gone. A whole life will be blasted. Mr. Ramsem is a member, .and his father a deacon, of a Baptist church. Ilia conduct whilo a student was most exemplary. I will not lengthen this article by making any reflections. The above facta I know to bo true. Each reader can make his own deductions. Will The Watchman and Reflector and Examiner and Chronicle please copy ? -,.,' Cn. E. Tatlob, Prof, of Latin. , Wake Forest College, N. C, SepU.14, 1872. "We are sorry to inform our religious cotemporary that it has been grossly Imposed upon by this " Professor of Latin,",, who has most wickedly con cealed the facts in Bamseur's case (not Bamsem). The harmless little a flair In which the young man is represented as having taken part was tho murder of Thomas Boundtree. ... ' .. , There was no defence made for him, because none could be made. The mur der was one of the most horrible ever perpetrated in any civilized or savage community. Boundtree was an Indus-, trious colored farmer, who owned plantation". In the upper end of York county. South Carollnar ; He was a quiet, peaceable, 'upright man, but his prosperity excited the wrath of the Ku Klux, who determined to kill him. The raid was made by a party of masked men, most of whom resided in North Carolina, near tlie dividing line Roundtree's house was surrounded in the night and his family aroused by a. terrible pounding at the door. He seiz ed, a gun and fired from the window, wounding bno of the raiders, named Eliiah Boss Sepauch. in the arm. He then took refuge in the garrett, but was driven from there, and finally in des peration he jumped from a second sto ry window and ran towards the woods. Before he got thirty yards away from his house he fell, pierced by a dozen of bullets. A brother of the wounded Se paugh ran up and cut the dying man's throat. ! . I There was no proof that young Barn- sour actually assisted In the murder, but that he was present and participa ted in the attack on the house was not denied. Under the advice of his counsel, Mr. Prestly (of the firm of Prestly, Iiord & Boblnson), one of the most dis tinguished lawyers of South Carolina, he plead guilty, not at Columbia, aa Professor Taylor says, but at Charles- I ton. On account of his youth the Judge Intended to ask the President to pardon rhjni after he had undergone a short im Hbrisonment. It is probable that if it had not.been for the scandalously; men dacious letter written by Professor Taylor, and published in Tlie Hichmond Herald, that he would now be at lib- erty. ' - . To show that we have done Professor Taylor no wrong in charging him with willful falsehood we give the petition which young Bamseur's father address ed to the President of the United States, asking for his pardon, first having made oath to tho truth of the state ments therein contained. We call upon the Baptists of the North to take note of tho absurd position In which one of their Southern " professors " is placed : United States of America To His Excellen cy, U. S. Grant, President of the United States: Your petitioner, F,- S. Ramseur, is a plain farmer of Cleaveland county, North Caroli na. IIo has constantly and persistently op posed all the lato violations of law in his neighborhood, and especially the doings of the Ku Klux Klan. Ho has anxiously striven to rear his children in the fear of God, to oliWrve the laws of their country, and to live at peace with all mankind, but to his great grief he found that his son, Da vid Ramseur, then a youth under the age of nineteen years, under a temporary ex citement and misled by the evil example of older persons, secretly joined the said Klan and was present on one of its raids in which Thos. Rountreo was killed. For this con spiracy and murder he was indicted at the term of the Circuit Court of the United States, lately held at Charleston, South Car olina. On this indictment he pleaded guil ty of conspiracy and thereupon the charge of murder against him was abandoned by the United States District Attorney.' (The sentence passed upon him by the Court was a fine of one hundred dollars and imprison ment for a term of eight years. j In your petitioner's deep distress ho hum bly prays your Excellency graciously to extend mercy and pardon to his said son. His crime your petitioner does not pretend to justify .r excuse, but he was very young at the timo he committed.it. His older brother, who could and would have re strained him. was absent from home. I He T is not naturally disobedient or evil dispos ed, and this is the first offence against the laws of his country. He did not know the purpose of the said raid when he joined it, and after joinincr. though he had not the moral courage to leave it, ho did not per sonally aid in its unlawful acts either by personal participation therein or by his ap proval. He now bitterly repents his hasty and unlawful conduct, and is deeply sensi ble of tho disgrace and grief he has brought upon himself and his aged father and moth er. Your petitioner desiring to educate his said son for better things had sent him to cellege, where he was arrested. This edu cation is the chief inheritance which your petitioner is able to give him, but now by this hasty and foolish act and by the conse quent sentence of the Court this hope is wholly destroyed. If this important period of his young life be spent in prison all the remainder thereof will be lost ; but it the heart of your Excellency be moved, gra ciously to forgive his youthful crime and grant him a free pardon, his gratitude for the clemency and the lesson he has learned during an imprisonment of nearly five months cannot fail to make him hereafter a good, peaceable and law-abiding citizen. For which your petitioner will ever pray,, dtc F. S. Ramsoub. State of 2Torth Carolina, Cleveland Coun ty: Personally appeared before me, John F. Aydlotte, United States Commissioner, F. S.

There is very much to invite and vindicate tho prerogative of mercy confided to the President put forth in favor of the youthful and unhappy prisoner.

A Spiritual Circle Around a Cbffin- A Coffin in a Boom as Dark as Night A Noted Turfman's SpirWs Flight, Mr. Rowe, the late owner of the once celebrated trotter, Ethan Allen, a gen tleman well known to members 01 tne turf, died at his residence in 43d street; in this city, on Wednesday last, after a short illness. Mrs. Rowe was a strong believer in spiritualism, and is said to be a medium. A. few years ago sne made the acquaintance of Mrs. Kane, the widow of the Arctic explorer, who ,was one of the celebrated i ox sisters. Since the death of Dr. Kane, Mrs. Kane has continued her business as a medium, and become known as the 'Oueen of Mediums." Prior to the funeral of her husDana, Mrs. Rowe, anxious to know whether his sDirit had taken its flight into the spirit land, sent out a number of invi tations to a circle of spiritualists to at tend a seance in her house. Among them was the celebrated Mrs. Kane. The corpse was enclosed in a neat rose wood casket, heavily ornamented witn silver. It lay in one of tne parlors, whose shutters were closely shut, and which was utterly dark. At the head of the coffin was a wax candle, and at the foot stood another. The room, therefore, was but dimly lightened. Mrs. Kane, who was chosen to pre- .? 000 tori Vior-lf if, thft he.fi of the . l - V l ...... w V " - mslrftt. and Mrs. Rowe at the foot. The two candles were then extinguish- ed, and all were enveloped in total darkness. Not a sound was heard. Soon Mrs. Kane, as the presiding me dium, arose, ana addressing tne spirit, asked whether Mr. . Bowe , was in the snirit land. The Darts waited, but there was no answer. .. . . - A hvmn was sung then. The spirit was again addressed by Mrs. Kane, and 0 . soon a soit. clear, musical voice an swered, "I am here; what is it you wish to know?" ? Medium (Mrs. Kane.) "We, your afllicted brothers and sisters of the spirit land, are anxious to know wheth er the spirit 01 our orotner nere de parted has taken its flight into the happy land." f Spirit (in the same .soit . voice.) -i "Wait, and I will see." Silence reigned awhile, ana suaaeniy a low rumbling was heard, as 01 open ing heavy doors, and then another voice said, "He is not here." - At this the queen of mediums ex plained that the spirit of Mr. Rowe had not. yet quit his body. The candles were then relighted, and all arose ana stood over the body, gently singing:; Weep not for those who are gone from thy sight,' ' , j Thev are not trone. thev are not cone : Round thee they hover on pinions of light, They are not gone, they are not gone, j Hear the words of comfort telling That they'll watch on every hand. And I love, I love to list to Voices from the spirit land. , After the singing all resumed their seats around the1 casket, the lights were extinguished, and Mrs. Kane addressed the spirits again, summoning departed spirits to attend her. Among those she asked for was Prof. Morse, James Fisk, Jr., Judge McCunn, James Gor don Bennett, and others; The only re sponse was from Mr. Bennett. . Mrs. .ane askea whether ne naa re pented, saying. "You unbeliever of our faith, you who have ridiculed us in your paper, what Jiave you to say ?"
