:JT&Z

To be Executed December 23d.

On yesterday morning the motiori for new trial in the cue of he State of Indiana

vs.

Expivs*..! :V) p. v.

Oliver Morgad, was argued be

fore Judge Chapman, by McLean and Fori est for the prisoner, and lianna and Allen for the State. The principal cause urged for a new trial was the declaration of two of the jurors that they misunderstood the instructions of the court, and suppo-ed that if they found the prisoner guilty of murder in hc lirst degree, that they were compelled 10 affix the dea'.h penalty. The affidavits of these jurors could not be obtained in time to be presented to the court but the Judge decided the ca?e as if they were filed, and held that such misunderstanding, even if it existed, was not sufficient cause for a new trial. The counsel were given one week to obtain and file the affidavits, so that they could be made part of the record. A motion was then made in arrest of judgment, which was also overruled by the Court. Time was given, ten days, in which to prepare a bill of exceptions.

The prisoner was then ordered to stand up, and asked by the court, if he had anv legal reason to give why the sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him.

Morgan, in reply to the question, said: "I don't know that I have anything to say which will have any efleet with-the coujrt. I think my sentence is a hard one under the circumstances. If I killed Petri, and I don't deny that I did, I killed him to save my own life, do not know that I have anything el.-e to say."

Judge Chapnuin then passed the sentence of death upon him as follow: Qliver Morgan, you have been tried by the court and jury upon a charge of murder. The jury have returned a verdict of murder in the first degree, and sentenced you to suffer death. A motion for anew trial has been submitted and argued by your counsel and has been ^overruled by the court. It only remains for this court to perform the formal duty of passing judgment on the sentence of the jury and to lix the time for its execution. The moment is a solemn one, and I do not know that its solemnity should be broken by any remark addressed to you by the court save only to admonish yot to prepare for death, and for standing before thait tribunal where we must all stand to answer for the deeds done in the body, and where the fallibility that always attends the judgment of human tribunals will no longer find place, but equal and exact justice, tempered by a mercy more than human, shall be dealt out to all.

It is the judgment of the court that you be taken hence to the county jail there to be held in custody of the Sheriff of the county, until the 23d day of December, A. D. 1869, and that on said day, between the hours of ten o'clock A. M. and four o'clock P. M., the said Sheriff shall hang you by the neck until you be dead. And "may God eave mercy on your soul!"

The occasion was a very solemn one— The prisoner, however, did not show any particular emotion.

NOVEMBER.—The following description of November weather, from a poem on the seasons by our fellow-townsman,Thom-as B. Long, Esq., must be highly suggestive to the citizcns of Terre Haflte, in view of reccnt experience. Entering this morning upon a new month, it is to be hoped that the piciuie may no longer be applicable: .1 V'

Alas! tho saddest in the year. November, turns her leaves to sear And withered shades of what they were And fills the whilom balmy air With tearful mists that soon distil To very tears themselves, and chill The sorrowing heart with snd regret For scenes to recent to forgret. All day betimes the falling rain Sinks softly in tho sodden plain. And darkly drifting clouds swoop by, Like spectres, in the leaden sky Whilst «°er the landscape, dread and dead, The gmhering mists their shadows spread,: And ruin, and clouds, and mists bring on The evening ere the day is gone. Then, in tho night's approaching gloom, Whilu iiieiight flickers o'er tho room, AVe trim our lamp, draw up our chair, Take down some volume quaint and rare, And, aided by the murmuring rain, Wo lose us in tlio past again.

ASTON ISHItf MEDIUMSHIP!

The Davenports Outdone!

Fay's Coat Trick Surpassed!

SooretG-rips and Signs of MasonryRevealed,

ME.

EDITORS:—Permit

me to lay be

fore your leaders a few facts in regard to the mediumship of a young girl—Flora Poindexlcr—daughter of a widow lady who has been but a few months a resident of our city.

This medinm is used by the unseen intelligence for almost every phase of mental and physical manifestations more or less developed. There in an abnormal or trance state, her hand is controlled to write such communications as the spirits choose to give—oral communications are given through her organs of speech, appropriate to any subject under discussion and while thus considered gives, when desired so to do, to any number of Masons or Odd Fellrws, none but members of the fraternity being present, all the signs, grips, tokens, etc., of these orders.

It may be said by the skeptic, who has never reached the inner temple of Masonry that the girl is learned in these mvteries, but a true Mason will be too well acquainted with the nature of his fraternal obligations to venture such an opinion, however much he may desire the overthrow of spiritualism.

Tiie .spirit, manifestations, physically, have been so far, most wonderful, and, in one so young, developed with a rapidity i-careely, if ever before paralled in the history of mediumship.

A few friends desirous of advancing the rapidly increasing evidences of man's continued existence, and believing that these spirit manifestations are the only sure proof of such stepping-stones to those higher views of God's government, taught through intuition and our higher relig' ious nature, preparing he mind for a fuller enjoyment of that summer home, when time shall have done its work of earth and we shall be ushered into its glorious realities, and obedient to that Scripture injunction, that our light should not be hid under a bushel, went earnestly into the work, conducting the

seanees

the usual way, until about three weeka ago instructions came "across the line" that a cabinet should be prepared, not to resemble two goods boxes placed together as some writer for the Indianapolis Joixrmd, whose love for the ridiculous outweighs his regard for truth, or his confidence in the good sense of his readers 'would have it, .but a neat structure in the form of a large wardrobe, so constructed as to fee readily taken apart for those who are ouriow to give it inspection. This Was prepared, the friends not having an/ promise as to the result further than that the manifestations would be similar to those in the presence of the Davenports

and 1 seed i-car^ely add {hat when it was first put on trial there was no little anxiety on the part of those present. It is gratifying to ay^ however, that the most positive proofs were given that an unseen power and intelligence were guiding and actuating the intellectual and physical manifestations, which it possible, t^ present to the human senses.

The medium was first tiedin and tothe cabinet by the most skilful knots knov. to ome of the older and cxpeienced one) present, and the ends of the ropes tied to the cabinet beyond her roach, and in six and a half minutes after the doors were closed evey knot was untied and the "prisoner set free."

Secondly, the tieing was done inside of the cabinet by the "unseen," and after the knots were examined and the cabinet closed, spirit hands of different sizes and complexion were shown through a diamond aperture in the door.

As these seances are now accessible to tho»e who wish to investigate the truth of spirit .contact, according to the evidences thus set before them, I shall close with but a few more facts and remarks.

passant,

togetber

it is no more strange than true

that the strongest skeptics are to be found amongst spiritualists and the work of spirits is brought to the bar of a more rigid ami exacting ordeal in their presence thaif it is likely to meet with from .the most avowed (gentlemanly) skeptic.

At the* third cabinet seance it-was suggested by one of the most skeptical that, if the medium could be secured in a sack, so that there could be no possibility of her voluntarily aiding the manifestations they would certainly be beyond criticism.— This idea was in due time carried out with the following results.

The .sack being put on and the upper end drawn close round her neck—^boih ends of the sack are provided with draw strings) tied, scaled and stamped, and the lower end secured beneath her feet in like manner, and the cabinet door closed, one of the ropes which was on a shelf within the cabinet, is taken to the inside of the sack and the medium's hands tied firmly

behind her. Her feet were tied

also with the other rope inside of the sack. Next they were taken off and out, neatly put into separate rolls and placed back upon the shelf, and again, one of the ropes was thrown over the mediums neck and shoulders, and the other tied round her waist.

Thus closed tliis particular seanse, since which, however, at others, a spirit hand has been shown at the apperture in the door while the medium was thus secure. And lastly, the sack—hold your breath, it is the truth and must be told— was taken off of the medium, neatly folded and laid away without a knot, seal or stitch being broken. This is equal if not beyond any thing which has hitherto been performed through -any medium for physical manifestations.

Now, Mr. EXPRESS, if you have no desire to witness these phenomena, .which, by the way, are open to all gentlemanly editors (and it is, of course, not admissible that there are any others), free of cost, and are yet desirous of knowing how these things are done, all you have to do is to ask the next egotist you meet—one who will declare to you that he has never seen and has no desire to witness any manifestations claimed to be of supermundane origin, and he can tell you all about it. That there are jugglers who who apparently, dance amongst eggs without breaking them, run a sword down their throats or through their bodies, without injury, take tow into their mouths and draw forth ribbons &c. &c, and that that is a full explanation of the whole humbug. No use to suggest that all these are totally unlike the manifestation performed through spirit media, that it is a little singular that the scientific savants of Europe as well as of America shrink from the task of attempting its ex posure, or else, when investigating the phenomena wiih a view to that end, have almost invariably, from the intelligence always a tending the manifestations, become convinced that they are super mundane, and that he only shows his profound ignorance upon the whole subject. That would be labor lost. He is perfectly satisfied with self, believes he is fully capable of grasping and compre bending the whole subject, and denieff" that there are occult forces which may be made use of in accordance with fixed and immutable laws by the higher inteligences to produce such manifestations. The forms and perfection of a beautiful flow er from its first germinal existance, up through its various stages of growth, to him, is all miraculous |or the effect of jugglery, because he, for sooth, don't un derstand it. No use to argue the question to such minds, every thing is impossible that can not be explained to their entire satisfaction by those two most potent words—humbug and jugglry. M.
