SPIB WAL HAN IF EST A TIONS. The Joint Seance U^foinied

In tbe early part of tbe week It wss arranged by Messrs. Baldwin A Fisk on one side and Messrs. Hook mad Pence on the other, for a series of three

joint

T_~...Paris, 111*. .Maiahall. ilia. Bn 111 van, ind. «llnton,Ind. -RnekvlHe. inc.

seances at Pc.'ii-fe'ii Hall, Baldwin proposing to duplicate in the dark and again in tbe light any manifestations that might be produced by Laura Morgan or Mrs. Stewart Articles were drawn up and duly signed. Hon. B. W. Hanna, chosen to preside and Win. Lockwood, E. O. Wblteman and P. O. Berry as Umpires.

Tbe first seance was held on Wednesday evening in the presence of some forty or fifty persons. No manifesta

tions

were produced. The spiritualists said it was because the conditions were destroyed. Baldwin and his friends say it was because the mediums were too closely watched and too firmly tied.

On the second evening the Spiritualists declined to proceed further unless Mr. Baldwin would take a back seat until the manifestations were produced. As this was contrary to the articles of agreement, and as this change was positively insisted on, Mr. Baldwin withdrew from the contest. The umpires, after consultation of half an hour made this report:

WHEREAS, Dr. Pence and Mr. Hook request new conditions other than those get out in the article of agreement, and entered into verbally between the adverse parties, therefore It is tbe opinion of this committee, that Dr. Pence and Mr. Hook are tbe parties withdrawing from tbe con teat.

By those present, outside the spiritualistic circle, it was plainly apparent that tbe leaders did not desire an Investigation, and regretted having consented to a semblance of such. Indeed the course pursued by tbe leaders of the Spiritualistic movement, during the past few weeks, has been such as

to greatly

undermine the public confi

dence in their honosty. They claim to desire thorough investigation, and yet throw every obstacle in the way of men who, from their experience in such things, are bait qualified to detect trickery, if there is any in these manfestations. Whatever may be Baldwin and Flak's motives or character— we know nothing against either—they bave made offer after offer which seemed perfectly fair, and they have been tnet by shallow subterfuges or absolute refusals. There is rapidly settling down in many minds a painful doubt of tbe honesty of men in whom there has been heretofore great confidence. This is a fact, and it can only be met by a perfectly open and fair course in the future. If Baldwin can not doia the light all that it is claimed that spirits do for tbe mediums in the dark let him be shown up. but if be can do it let him do it. In a card in yesterday evening's Gazette Baldwin consents to "agree to almost anything to be allowedto show up this unmitigated fraud." Give him another opportunity. There is no such prejudice in tbe community as to prevent a fair trial, or the rendering of judgment according to facts.

But from tbe day that a free seance with great attractions, was announced on the occasion of his first expose in the city, till the present hour, there has been a steady and rapid decline of public confidence in the sincerity and hmi esty of these leaders. And this decline is the result of their own course. Good reputations are worth too much to bo sacrificed in this foolish manner.

NEWSPAPER CHANGE.—The rumored change In tbe proprietorship of tbe Journsl, spoken of last week, proved true. Col. R. N. Hudson has purchased J. B. Edmunds' half interest, for the sum of 96.000.

The warmest sympathy of a large circle of neighbors and friends is extended to those whoso hearts bleed, and ache, and agonise at this severe and unexpected affliction.

OPERA HOUSE.—The unfavorable weather did not prev nt a good-sized audience from assembling at the Opera House last evening to welcome the return of Miss Fanny B. Price, who has appeared more frequently in this city than any actress now on tbe stage— and always dr 'Ws good audiences. We did not witness her representation of

It appears that the Democrats have already commenced to pull thewirea on the matter of nominating a candidate for Auditor of Clay county. This Democratic lawyer aforesaid, who by the way lives In Bowling Grten, went to Kntghtsvllle, and drawing Mitch Holiingsworth aside, talked to bim a long while,so long in fact, that Mitch was nearly frozen, but thousut he would hear tbe matter out. Our Democratic friend unfolded all his plans, showed him how they would work the wires, and insisted that Mitch should be the candidate, tor as Tressel, (there—the mischlel's done) said the Democrats could not elect a man from the Bouth end, but must take one from the north end. After being satisfied in his own inlnd that he had made an impressioo, aud that Mitch would accept the nomination, he came to Brazil. Ia themeantltne, Mitch who Is a red-hot Republican, and thats where the Joke comes In, told the whole clrcnmstauw. Tressel who thought he was confiding to a Democrat, Is now feeling badly bored. He denies the whole thing, but Mitch is good authority, and the piobabllltle* are that Tressel will be tried by the same tribunal that tried the ex-Recorder, and that a suitable fine will be imposed upon him.
