INDIANA ABROAD.
Hon* a Metropolitan Journal Treats Our Wreat Sensation.
From the New York Times.J A story comes from Indiana which, if found to be correct, promises to do more toward helping the Spiritualists than the combined table-turnings of half a century. The details have been supplied to a correspondent, who vouches for the respectability of his informant but there is this disadvantage, that no one appears to vouch for the accuracy of the correspondent himself, 'l'he revelations will consequently have to be taken with all due allowance. About twenty years ago, a peddler who used to be often seen in Martin county, in the before-mentioned State, suddenly disappeared from his usual rounds and was no more heard of. Among the list of the peddler's acquaintances was a farmer named Rubeck, the owner of an extensive estate within a few miles of Harriaonville, in the same county. Mr. Rubeck was of the number of those who believed that the peddler had been foully dealt with bui having no proof of the matter beyond his suspicions, thought no more about it until one night a few weeks ago, while returning home on horse back from market between the houra of II and 12 o,clock. In passing close to the trunk of an old dead tree,' his attention was attracted by what appeared to be a dogfight in an arlj icent field. The horse bccaibe frightened and refused to go forward. In a moment afterward the space for several feet around the tree was illuminated with a brilliant light, through which lellashow erof red hod chain links. This phenomenon was followed by deep groans, which seemed to- come from the ground. A noise as of a run-away team was then hesrd. Mr Ktibeck did his utmost to induce the horse to move out of the road, but without avail. In his extremity, he breathed a prayer to heaven, and'then gave himself up for lost Just then the noise ceased, and a voice cried, "For God's s»ke, Jim, dou't murder me." After this there were no more "manifestations," and he was allowed to continue his journey without further trouble.
Now, it seems that, farmers like to lell strange stories, and Mr. Rubeck being no exception to the rule, called his friends around him on the following morning, and related all that he had heard and seen. Ten or eleven of them were so much impressed with the adventure that they went to the old tree in company with Mr. Rubeck, on the following night. They had not long to wait. The links of chain fell, the runaway team was personated, and the voice was "distinctly heard crying for help. One of the men recognized the voice as being that of the missing peddler. A spade and shovel were speed ily procured, and after digging around the tree for a few minutes a skeleton was found, with the skull fractured, as if by a heavy blunt instrument. Some particles of clothing were alio unearthed, which
Mr. Ilubeck identified as being a portion of the suit worn by the peddler on the dav of his disappearance. Further than this there seems to be no evidence of I identity and so far, the chances are not in favor of the discovery .of the murderer.
As a spiritualist sensation, however, the story has proved-a succeSS and ttfnst result in bringing quite a brisk business tothe half-starved "mejuma" of Indiana during the coming win ten
The history of this riot and butchery in Los. Angelos should be printed with pictorial illustration and sent to the Celestials as a neat little testimony ol our superior civilization. It would go very far to confirm^the ideas of the Christian exaltation as a people at the Court of his Majesty at Pekin. Can we doubt ihat, after a faithful study of it, the gates of an empire older than the Pyramids will turn upon the rusty hinges, and the bands of the Pagans be imploringly extended to us to come over and give them a few lessons in Western civilization?
We have been edilied, from lime to time, by the accounts missionaries and other propagandic emissaries:have given of the occasional outbreaks of the Chinese barbarians, the killing of priests, nuns, scholars, and wandering Gentiles, and the burning of churches, school houses, barracks and other buildings :4i«ve. made broad our phylacteries and thanked God that we are pot as tbej .are.". Precisely how we shall be able Wregara ourselves after this affair, is uncertain. If we do not send as good as we have got, the ac counts from Los Angeles must be wide of the truth..
As a people so highly advanced as to have had, even a dozen years ago, but two relics of barbarism to root out—slavery and polygamy—,.nd but oneot these feebly surviving in the year of grace 1871, it will be necessary to shift the entire re sponsibility of-this performance upott-the "dregs of society," and carefully conceal' the fact that we have encouraged and developed the savage spirit which wreaks itself in butcheries that would make a Camanche blush, by proscriptive and odious legislation the animus of which is no whit better than that which inspired the Los Angelos mob to bloody deeds. If,by this outrage, the sensibility of the people of California can be shocked into decent humanity, to say nothing Of Christianity—which if thereof doubtful quali* ty—tlve event will not have been without wholesome fruitage.

The Los Angelos Riot.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.] The mean race prejudice against the Chinese, which has been fostered in California,"especially ..by politicians who wanted votes, hart at last culminated in a tragedy at Los Angelos, of a very shocking character. The dispatches give the particulars, which need no repetition here, and add that tbe mob which beat, mntiiated-and hanged tbe Chinese, among them a child, "was composed mainly of native Californians and the dregs of society." Incidentally this may be accurate enough, but the responsibility rests, with those lea4ers osf public opinion who1 have encouraged a brutal hatred" of the5 Chinese, and stamped it upon the statute books of the Commonwealth in enact ments as unjust and odious as ever disgraced the legislative records of a slave Slate.

I "IajTO SUIT AGAINST BRIGHAM.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 27.—In tha case of Mrs. Cooke vs. Brigham Young, the jury this morning returned a verdict, for plaintiff, for the whole amount of her claim, with interest, making a total of two thousand, nine hundred and eighty-six dollars. There were Mormons as well as Gentiles on the jury. The defense gave notice of a new trial. It is said and admitted by prominent Mormons that Brigham Young has applied to Hon. Wm. Evarts for his service as counsel to de fend him.
THE MORMON PRESS.
The Mormon papers are mild. The News says in the crusade against Mormons the government and people are to be sincerely pitied.
The Herald discusses the Mormon problem and says, it is a grave error te sup pose that upon conviction of prominent Mormons, the Mormon people generally will disclaim polygamy, or that if the government sent here troops enough they will give up their faith. This nor any other religious belief can be crushed oui by any government on earth. The Utah ring and administration cannot uproot Mormonism.
ARRESTED.
John Meacham, a well known Mormon, charged with the murder of Richard Yates some twelve years ago, was arrested by the United Stutes Marshal at Round Valley yesterday, and brought to the city this evening.
