CITY IKLUGRNOE. I tor Additional Local J'env S4t Eijhlh Toyf.) What are the Practical Reasons Why an Intelligent Investigator Should Become a Spiritualist? Lettxrc by Rev. Dr. Eallci, Delivered at Wash ington Hall, Eisiilh and Spriiifr. Car rie". Streets, Last Evening-. HPIt'lAL PIKIM1URAPUIC BliPOHT FOB THE KVK.N- 'IHQ TKLEOllAPH.l Upon commencing his lecture Dr. Ballon saw: Friend", the theme announced lor thin tve ' nitip's discourse is constituted in tnese words: What are the practical reasons why an intcUijcnl investigator should be come a spiritualist? ' We we exhorted by the Apostle Paul, in his First Epistle to tlie TuessaloiiiHns, to "prove all thines ana nolo Inst Unit which iseood." lji ad,lrssinr yon on this subject I shall do best, probably, to HpeaK Irom my own stund-poirt, and somewhat in accordance with my own' experience and observations in relation to ta'rtjreneral subject. What ib a ppmtiuilit a npuitnaliKt of our day lie is one who In convinced, and tiriul y believe", that departed human -pints frequently coninu ideate with and mamiiH Vheinsulvcs in this Knte of Hesb. and blood. Whoever is convinced of tins whoever is sutisiietl in bis own mind that this is truo in our own time, is a ?iiiritnalist in the sense of this theme, lie tuny believe more or ka in resrard to tin1 philosophies and to the various speculations in which spiritualists indulge; may stand in dilleicnt positions with repaid to the claims of every other sub ject and question, but if he is firmly convinced that departed spirits do some times and lrcqucntly in our day co n moiueate with and manifest themselves to mankind in the tlesh, he is entitled lo be culled a spiritualist. What do I mean by an hit diigent investigator? An investigator is one who "ex amines into and searches out the evidences and reasons for any proposition which is submitted to him. An intelligent investigator is of course one who is competent to enter upon this senich . lug examination understand inely. Mime aie bxe.l religionists, who wi-di to know nothing more concerniua this subject than they suppose they have had revealed to them in the Jhble and other sacred bonks. They look upon spiritual muui testations, if they are really to be regarded as such, as special interpositions of Providence, and have made up their minds that no such interpositions tnke place in our day. They look upon it as a kind ot saci ih'ore to in quire whether it is true that departed spirits manifest themselves to men in the flesh now. We have thoroughly learned men who are Saddu cecs, well-instructed and educated men and women, who seem to scorn and condemn it. ISonic sneer at, ghosts. Some sneer at the sub ject ns if it was beneath their respect, only de serving of their contempt. All such persons as these are unfit to be investigator', because they set out despising the whole tiling, and what is worse they have desp sed it on the very cround that the.y arc educated and vdl-in-tructcd peo ple, ana that it is only for tools and crazy men to look into this matter. Then you have a great multitude of downright skeptics who are iiist as certain that there in nothing out of tlesh and blood that has any intelligence, as they are that they take a drink". Then we have large multitudes of people that have lollowed to the grave the hearse that bore away these triends, and m many instances they spurn the idea that they exist herealter. Ttiey throw It aside as a matter of no importance. Some of them distinctly say that they do not wish any further acquaintance with their de parted friends. They hope it is well with them, but tbey don't care to have any further know ledge ot them; and they look upon U3 who nre interested in such things as crazy-headed men and women. Then there are those who have parted with very near and dear friends, who would give the solid globe if they had an assurance of their future existence. There are those who ask themselves, whence came I and whither do I po? What will be my stale when the collin encloses my remains and the gruve receives my body? Tnev grasp at everything that promises Them this assuiance. Now I belong to that class of persons, vo you belong to the same class ? I do not call a man or woman an intelligent investigator who is prejudiced, hard-headed, and disposed to battle with evidence at every step. It may be asked what the speuker wishes to set forth as proper evidence in this cause. I should say that there oiiubt to be evidence in believing o.y the senses. I would lake the testi mony ot a cuflicient number of credible wit nesses; that R r;eu or women who have seen, or heard, or felt, or known, and whose testi mony aeiers in facts. Then I would say there is that which may be called circumstantial evidence; that applies to my own ease. You will observe I am speaking from my own standpoint, just as if 1 had gone through this investigation. I felt bound to make myself assured that a spirit manifestation, of whatever kind, purported to be such, was not a tiick of legerdemain nor slighl-fo-hand; butthut it was a reality. For instance, if I heard rap pines, I had to satisfy myself that those rappings were not made by machinery contrivance of any kind, if 1 saw a stand move in that manner (the speaker here pushed the stand backwards and forwards), as 1 have seen them, I would Inquire whether it was moved by wires, whether it was under the control of some ingeuious in dividual who was undertaking to play a trick upon me, and assure myself that there was no flesh or muscular power applied to it ! I have five general reasons why an intelli gent investigator r-bould become a spiritualist. I believe that departed spirits frequently in our dav, as well as in the pat, ruauiiest them selves, and communicate with liviuir beings. There are a number ol well-authenticated ca-es ot manilestation of spirits in "iir day. When I beean to investigate this question, I had the good fortune to have residins in my immediate neighborhood a yonnpr lady who was developed as a "medium." 1 knew tne taiuiiy and the young Indy. I had kuowu her from a mere child. She" assured me there was no 1 trickery about it, that it was substantially what it purported t" be, so far as she was concerned. On a certain occasiou I was at a neighbor's of mine, at-d close by bun there was a circle society, and thiw young lady was the medium. I went in on uu errand, and was about to leave the room when they called on the table for the alphabet, and it was spelled ri.ht out. 1 waited a little while to propose pouiethmg to him (the spirit). This purported to come liom a man whose name was Lilia Howard, a man whom 1 had known, and who had been tor several years in the spirit land. They asked if the spirit should select a c-xt for me for the next Sabbath. 1 said yes. Then there came a loud knocking and thp word the was spelled. Then there was a dead stop. .The table was moved around in that mauncr. (Pushing the table around violently.) This indicated another spirit, whose name was Pweney, with whom I had had intercourse. He said it was impossible for him lo muke those raps, he could move the tables but could not make the raps. Then (-aid 1, 'VSince you are here where is my friend, who makes the alphabet?" "oh !" he replied, "he will be back in a few moment-." I went into conversation"uth him then. In a little while came the strange biennis, which im mediately began with the alphabet, and spelled. out thC ii'n anu I.mi verses m me ter ol the First Corinthians. I asked the spirit if he would be in the o'jureh, and he replied that be would. Tbc limo for the sermon came. We began ehiging the hymn, when the rapper ap peared at the table uet.r me, keeping time to every hymn that was sung, and remaining .v,.,,,,rriwiit the pntiro service. The speaker then proceeded to narrate his experience with trance mediums at considerable ,., rth r.tmin jr the following, among other. inci- i- ..f. n - A lew years ago 1 was in Intern, li-fore 1 . started tor home my nrd myself male up ft number of questions in the names of different pirit lrierds. w placed them in a oox and prepared ourselves as we understood was re milreil. We -wanted everything to be satis tauery. 1 had a friend once who was on his dcnth-bel. i.rtd we agiecd to hold communication, lie had taken the trouble, through his love of me, to Lave a portrait ol myself painted. That hung up in his toom. We hxctl on the na ne portrait as the word to be given, lie died sh rtly alter, and it so happened that his name was in thh box. He had been dead for two years at the t me, and I had tried" every wa to hold c nin.niiicatlon with him, but without direct. But at last he answered the call. He said h tad been trying a long time to communicate, but he never succeeded.' I asked him how I could tell he wns the one he represented himself to be. He then spelled out I he word p-o-r-t r-a 1-t. Then he addressed himself through the medium with the greatest satii-laction and joy. He bid me go on, that the angels of (Jod were with me, and hoped 1 would not be discouraged at nnytliiug I met. I had never mentioned the word to anybody. What could 1 say to that? Was there oersonalty ? was mere prooaoie identity there 7 1 have been asked, Are you sure these thintrs do not all come Irom the devil V It they did come from the devil if there !- any devil to cause them I am very thankful mat he lias come out and made himself known. I heard ol him long a;o. 1 want to know if he can move otaers.il he Is real v extant. I do not w ant him to be outside. Jly triends, I tell you it is an absurdity to a-k such n question as that. 1 do not want you to swallow all that I say; look at the subject, and be convinced. 1 am telling you what I tniuk an intelligent investi gator oiicht to b. What is the use of sayintr bnythina more ? 1 could stand here all mailt und talk to you on this subject. 1 liave gone through all that is necessary. 1 have said it in a simple, plain way, and 1 have said it just as It was in my mind. 'Despite the ieers and spoil's ol a portion of the Community, I am not afraid to walk the streets and proclaim that I am a Hat and a square spiritualist. The speaker continued for about an lioui ami a half, eliciting the profoundest attention Irom his auditors. It was evideut trcm their de meanor that they had the fullest iaith in what they heard. Kkpcblican Mass Meeting Spekcii of Cor.oNF.L lt.jS. Mattuewb. Nat ion alalia 1 1 was crowded last cveninc, on the occasion ot the delivery ot an address bv Colonel K. tStockeit Matthews, ot Baltimore. At the appoin'ej hour John Coiorlh, Ksq., was called on to take the chair. He thanked the audience for the com pliment thus conierred upon him, and took pleasure in introducing a diftingtihed cham pion of human rights. Colonel It. Stocked Matthews, who was received with great applause. lietore this audience, and in view of the many issues which distract the public mind, Col. Mat thews felt that a braver heart and older head should occupy the stand on tins oeca-ion. He commenced by alluding to t lie peculiar position ot public atlairs at the present time. He was opposed to committing tne. Government to men who had tor over five years been the open advo cates of human slavery. Not only was he op posed to that party, but he wiu opposed to every man who did not put himself in opposition to that party. It had never administered the Government aright, anil has always sanctioned that which tended to injure its best interests. He was op posed to all such men, because he loved that which had been the admiration and refuge of tlie oppressed. The people of his State were not as harmless ns the dove, but when tlie candidates put up by those ot his tate did not sanction that Vi hicb was oirectly nuht he would oppose it. It this is a republican form of Government, those who live under it can claim that which brings to them the greatest amount of happiness. Governments arc intended ns the dispensers of the greatest ble.-sings to those who live under their influence. Governments which do not tenderly put their hands on the heads ot those who are their subjects, and oiler to ihem such protection as they have a right to expect, are not answering the ends for which they are in tended. Believing that impartial suffrage is right, therelore, he was in favor of it whenever it could be brought about for the hst interests of the governed. The enemies of the Republican party ate in favor of restricted suf frage, it is a mere question of power with them. They wish to lodge the power in the lmnils of the tew, nud thuH keep hacK from the ballot-box those who have as good right to vote as those who oppose impartial suffrage. It some of those who have opposed this liberty were in the South, the.y would not refuse to unite themselves to those who nre of the colored race in the holy bonds of matrimony. He would not trust them. (Laughter and applause.) if yu take those who have been instrumental in crushing the interests of the colored man, and place them under some crowned head of hurope, they would bow down in reverence, and worship their masters. The Democratic party has risen and sunk. At the bullets of the South, surrender of General Lee, and at various times during the war has it shown its hideous head. (Lauirhter and applause.) They showed themselves in the igwani in this city, lhey have appeared, and then nil ot a sudden have sunk into oblivion, to all human appearance. Their recent meeting at the Winwani was but a spiritual meetiug; the.y buried themselves in what they call the National Union parly. They have run about like ghosts, wrapping themselves up In gauze, such as appears around the chandehors in your Continental and other hotels. Mr. Doolittle was there too. He made one very laree joke -when he askpd to be allowed to read a telegram in the following words: "The Administration candidate has been elected in Colorado." (Great applause.) And the next morning he was obliged, to announce a telegram ol a diilereut kind. (Renewed lauuhter.) Aeain, when it was announced that Massachusetts aud South Caroiiua would walk arm-in-arm into the Wigwam this was another ghost. (Tremendous applause.) Who made that Convention? Who gave it all the brains that it had? Andrew Johnson, Doolittle, aud men ot that kind. They car ried the whole Convention through for the sole purpose ot defrauding the" American people. It was false tn appropriating to it the uame of the National Union party, when there were but tew who were there who cjuld be indoised as national men. There were lew loyal men there as the dele gates, but the majority ot the men fro jo the North ami the bomh wno were the representa- i - . ... .a:.. I l lives oi muse sections were oitiioyai. hen the President tcok upon himself the oath of oflice in the beastly stale he was in, lie knew that the hual party ol the country would not support him, and therelore he got up the Convention which repreoeuted bis policy, and was held in this citv. Th' partv which upholds him is the great party oi traitors Noith and South. It may be said ol Mr. Johnson that he made a eood tailor, out ne lias made a very poor rresiuent, lie (the speaker) only wished Mr. Jolinsofi had on tinned a tailor. He did not wish thus to speak, He was one of the electors of his State, aud had cast his vote for Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Jolmsou, but ho was now compelled, through the acts of Mr. Johnson, to speak his mind, as his record had been one oi digrace. The men who are his (iiends have taken hold upon ihe throat ot our Government. They have killed our lathers and sons, snail we, men, lake them to our embrace? lie (the speaker) was not in favor ot such a course as that waich the policy of the President had hud out for the people. lie has refused to hane Jefferson Davis, and would this dav let him go. He has asked Mr, Chase to hang him. Who has made Mr. Chase the Jack Ketch of the Government? (Lamrh ter.) He has denounced the Congress of the United Ptatis as a Rump Congress, and he has told the people that he did not intend to execute ihe laws passed by them. The sneaker then contmned at irreat lentrth dnrinu which he contrasted the advantages of thi Government with those of the Old World, aid importuned all present to uphold the laws l 1 I and thus continue to preserve to thchnselTcs that nhich would make thcra a hapij anfl pros peroue people. The Great Maps Mektinoih Gebmah town. Last evening another large and cnthu ulnstie. mmtine of tbe lo al people of (rf'rman. town took pliwv under the auspices Of the Union I eagueof the Twenty-second Ward, in (ron ot the Town Hall, shortly after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by Charles S. Pan coast, Ksq., President ot the League. After mnkintr a lew remarks, he introduced General Joshua T. Owen, the Union Republican candi date for Recorder oi iecd. lie spoke in his usual eloquent manner, and delivered an ad dress which was received with frequent out-hur-ts ol applause. Mai or McMichael was the next speaker intro duced. He said that he had visited the ancient horoueh of Gerninntown lor tuc purpose of let ting them know that he had returned home. He said thai he was not sorry that he was absent Irom tlie city when President Johnson visited our city, nor did he think that hts constituents were. If he had been in Philadelphia he should have, owing to the position he occupied, been lorced to have acted in opposition to his own convictions, lie continued at some length, le viewirg the Presidential trip and the results It had and was likely to cause. His r marks throughout were interspersed with amusing anecdotes, which created much nicr'rinient and irood feeling among the audience. lion. Lewis T. Barker, oi Maine, followed Mr. McMichael. His address, like that ot the last mimed speaker, was both amusing and interest ;ng. He leh rred to the glorious victory achieved by the lojal people of the old Pine-tree Stat in tlie late elee'ion, and was confident that the course that Ma'iic had taken in relinking An drew Johnsin would be followed by all ol tlie loyal States of the Union. He reviewed the co'ur-e of Mr. Johnson since he hal occupied the Presidential chair, ai d considered mat tie bad disgraced the position to which he had been elevated by the loval votes of the nation Hon. Caleb N. Taylor. Renublican candidate lor Congress in the Filth District, was the last speaker. His remarks were chiefly coatined to the Constitutional amendments enacted by Con gress, and the course which that body should continue to pursue towards the disloyal people of the unreconstructed States. He continued at some length, end retired amid great applause, alter which the meeting adjourned. The torchlight procession which took place duritiE the evenii.g was a grand atlair. The "Bov In Blue" turned out in large number They escorted the Republican Invincibles, who arrived aboui 9 o'clock P. M.. through the prin cilia! streets of the borough. The last named organization was out in large numbers, and the display was really an imposing one. A lare number ot dwellings along the route were bril lliintly illuminated and most elegantly deco rated with Mags, The whole atlair was certainly most creditable to the loyal people ot German town, and wasone that will long be remembered, About 11 o'clock the procession dismissed, and the Invincibles returned lo the city, lnhly puasea witn tne ntiair. Democratic Mass Meeting at Na TioNAL Guards' Hall Speech of Hon. J. It. Doolittle. National Guards' Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity last evening, on the occa sion ol an address 'by Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin. Mr. Doolitrle was escorted trom the Continental Hotel to the Hall by a number of Democratic and Conservative Clubs, with torches and ninsie. Upon his entrance into the Hall he was urn ted with gieat cheering. After the ap plause had subsided, Joseph R. Flanigen intro duced Mr. Doolittle to the audience. Mr. Dooiittle said he was here, a thousand mites from his home, to address the men of Pennsylvania, because he believed that on the men of Pennsylvania rests a greater responsi bility than ever rested before. There is now presented to the people of Pennsylvania aud the whole country a question the most momentous ever before presented a question which, like Aaron's rod, swallows no all other quest'.ous, and in which is involved republican and consti tutional government. That question, stripped of all verbiage, is this Is Congress above the Constitution, or is the Constitution above Con gress ? The speaker continued at considerable length, quoting from the 'tribune and other Republican papers to establHi his proposition, that good fan h requires us to keep pledges made during the war, that the Union should not be destroyed. The crowd outside the hall organized a meet ing, which was addressed by a number of gen tlemen. A DiiKiovo Atfair in . the Sucnvn Ward Lieutenant Fuller, of the Police, Shot arrest of the J'rincipal Riotkbs. A serious disturbance took place last evening about 10 o'clock, at the corner of Moyameusing avenue ana renerai sireet. it appears that tlie Assessors have been sitting during the past three nights, tor the purpose ot adding to the extra assessment lists tlie names ot tnose per sons who had failed to be assessed, or had moved into the district during the past few weks, and that the house was attacked bv a gang of men, who bred pistols and used weapons of various kinds to carry out their desiens. xue statements ot me loiiowmg othcers are given: Sergeant Alexander, of tha First Dis trict, stated that when the polls closed for the extra assessments he was standing on the N. E. coiner ot Moyameusing aveuue and Federal street; saw a man run oil' into the middle of the avenue; he sang out. Come on, you rascals; said he would not miss lire this time; he then tired m the southeast directiou; this wa3the tirst shot hred; the nnng then became general; one crowd then ran into Mr. Falby's house; Lieutenant Fuller aud Sergeant Alexauder. wilh another officer, then ran over ou Falby's pavement. Lacuieuum r uner men remaiKea mat ne was hot. The crowd ran out the back door of Falby's house. Lieutenant Fuller aud Ser geant Alexander eutcred Falby's bouse by the ironi uoor, anu lieutenant r uuer aud other ollicers went towards the back of the house; Sergeant Alexander remained in the bar room, where he kept lour men. among whom were Folyard Deean, Washington Hamilton, Manuel Ccnnell, and a Sergeant of Marines. The men were taken to Southwai k Hall. The otliceis then returned, and gave the house a thorough search, when they found Robert Smith in the secoud-story front room, whom it is alleged Falby was keeping. This man was also arrested aud taken to the Hall. Otiiccr Mitchell stated that he sav Depan rive a shot, and when he attempted to arrest bin', he threw hiui down and tried to choke him. He then rook ihe prisoner to the South walk Hal! and lncied him up. Sergeant McNamara, of tlie First District, staled that alter the lirst two shots were riied between the two markets, there wa a erencial tiring from the northwest corner. It ippeared tbat the shots were the signal for tlie beginning of a tight. Oliicer Hoover stated that before any shots were tired, three men came irom Falby's'house. They stood at the corner ot the street, and said, 'Come ou, now; we are ready for you." They then tired. There were several persons injure;!, anions w hom, as far as could be ascertained, were John Scliatl'er, shot in the head, will lose theleiteye; Charles Ander-or. shot n: right ee; William Teal, shot in tiie face, slightly iu- ured; J.

The Principal of the Monroe Grammar School (Mr. Philip Cregar) took foircul have of Ihe pupils at 3 o'clock yes terday allemoon. The exercises were very in piessive, the pupils evincing tokens of sorrow lit parting with their much beloved Principal. Air. Cregar addressed the Scholnis at length. During me course of his remarks he said he had been identilicd with the public schools of Phila delphia tor thirty-one years. He first entered thepublicschoolaasan assistant, in Third street, above Brown, under John M. Coleman, who was i uen rrmcipai. Alter being there about two years he, in con nection with John H. Brown, established a boarding school in Lancaster county, of thi Suite. About a year aftetwards he returned to the city and established a private school. He took charge ot the "Southeast" Grammar School, in r'ront street, below Pine, on the 1st ol January, 1843, since which time he has been principal of the .Northwest Grammar and the Girls' "High, School." He lclt tins Bcnool (Monroe) for the purpose of opening a day and boarding- school. Ha left with pleasure, knowing that a large majority of his pupils, who have been thousands iu number, were doing well; some of them promiucut men iu their native State, and others active men in the interior towns ol this and in the chief cities oi other States not, a few active business men in the city of New York. Tlie young men haviug presented him with a clock, in referring to it he said that it ad monished him tbat his rune was passing. More than twotcoie years aud ten oi the threescore years alloted to man had already passed. He also reminded them that their time was passing. He bid them not to stiller it to pass until it was entirely gone, without having improved it. In taking leave ol them, using the word fare well, be Loped that the.y would fare-well, to-day and every other day of their lives, and also fare well in the lile to come. The scholars presented him with a neat and substantial clock. There is nothing gaudy about it, evidently made lo la-t; valued at $20. it was presented ou betiaii ol the scholars ny Cecil A. Preston, in the following appropriate language: Mr. Creirar Sir: It is with much regret that we Iisve tieaid of your determination to retire from the position ot I'lincipal of the Monroe lioys' (ii ammar School. During the time you nave held tha: posi- ion von uuvo won the roauect and admiiation of both teachers anu pupils, by your courteous and ecu- tlfuiauly bearing to all, as well as ttio efficient luunncr in which you have disciplined and regu lated the school under j our charge. We Dec leavo lo offer this triflo as a remembiauce of the pleasant limes we have pasted together, with the hope that you mav meet with every success in your new undertaking. Mr. Cregar has established a day and boarding school at No. 3810 Chenut street, wheie he will impart instruction in all the English branches. This gentleman has had long experience In teaching, and is thoroughly competent to instil into the minds of our youth that which will be invaluable to them in after venrs. Mr. Glasson, the successor of Mr. Cregar. is a gentleman who has had considerable expeiience in our public schools, and whom we have no doubt will succeed as well as the former prinoi pal. May success attend both the gentlemen in their new sphere. Union League Meetings.
