Immortal High Jinks t Port Lti-Tht Ghostly, the Uloomy, the Glad, the tiaihlng, and tbe Uany Ammblid In Immense Numbers Trances, Pancei, and Sandwiches Speeches, Books, and Spooks The Man Who Took oJ Sugar in HU Coffe on Hand, Etc. The Progressive Spiritualists of New York and Brooklyn assembled together, with their wives, children, younjt men, and maidens, and betook themselves to Fort Lee on the steamer Thomas Uulse, which left the loot of Chris topher street at 10 o'clock yesterday mornin?. When this collection of communicators with the spirit land were all on board, the visitor had before him such a menagerie ot long-haired men and emaciated, wild-looking women as perhaps be never before witnessed. Here the model medium bloomed in perfection, with his Leonlde locks brushed back from his noble brow in the regulation literary style, a patri archal beard flowed down to his breast, and lie looks meekly from out a pair of dim prey eyes that sometimes assume a haegard, sometimes a wild and wearied look. His con versation is transcendental, logical, and lucid as luk, and the listener, in the vain attempt to follow the thread of his arguments, finds him self wading considerably out of his depth In a sea of verbosity. THE SCENES ON BOARD wre quite amusing from the presence of an eccentric individual who rejoices in a real name. This gentleman was seemingly an artless youth of some sixty summers, with a stentorian voice. He bad spiritualism badly on the brain, as the most trivial remark addressed to him on the state of the weather, or anything equally inconsequent, was sure to have the ludicrous eilect ot starting bim on a sptrltalistlc yarn, which he reeled off at a terrible rate, and it afforded a select lew much amusement to ob serve the way he generally turned the subject towardB his favorite topic. He was of opinion that Christ was imbued with the spirit of Con fucius, and the Christian doctrine of damnation seemed to excite his particular ire. He was particularly tond of tbe expression "doctrine of damnation," and never lost an opportunity of rineing it in. Around this renins was an assem blage of women, who dwelt lovingly on every word uttered by this spiritualist sage. Curiosity was excited to know what his profession was, as he had a knack of showing the extraordi nary affinity between spiritualism and patent medicines, he urging that the spirit of his grandfather had revealed to him drugs that would cure everything, from a broken limb to the last stages of consumption; and now his at tention Is engrossed in growing a spiritualistic grape-vine, the seeding of which was revealed to bim in like manner by his accommodating ancestor. Altogether the conversation and rhapsodies of this queer vender of patent medi cines was a strange medley, embracing every thing from the omniscience of God and grape vines to comic stories and sentimental spiritual ism. The other mediums were quite roared down by this lion, and kept themselves in re serve for a performance on shore. Occasionally a smile would ripple on the fae of one of the party who was not a spiritualist, bat be was gently warned not to indulge in a laugh, as the unbelievers were In the minority, and it would go pretty rough with them in the event of a row. The lemaJes greatly affected corkscrew curls, and a Paris milliner would have been shocked to death to have seen the curiously combined colors of their toilettes. Pink silk with yellow trimminus would have been rather a neat and quiet display alongside some of the gorgeous dresses of the lady mediums. At length Fort Lee is reached, and after a landing of baskets, containing a superabun dance of earthly food and spirits, is effected, these festive religionists wind their way up to the summit of the mount. THIS GROUND is reached at length, and a preliminary skirmish takes place for the possession of tables before the main muffin struggle is opened. When the feast was finished dancing was commenced in right good style, The unsophisticated youins went at it with thei( coats off and lighted cigars in their mouths, fast and furious became the reels and waltzes, and all was going merry as a marriage bell, when a gentlemen in a "tall hat" ventured to remark on the impropriety of dancing with coats off and smoking In the pre sence of ladies. The new-comer was evidently a scholar as well as a gentleman, for he pre faced his observations with the remark that such proceedings were not "engregUie)" nor "aiatingy." After this, proceedings were con ducted on the strictest order of etiquette. This was merely an episode, not given with the in tention of hinting that the audience were not well-bred, for indeed they were all highly re . spectable people, and conducted themselves with the greatest propriety. THB BTEAKEB'S STAND. Here the Hon. Warren Chase, of Ohio, was exhorting his hearers to live properly in tuis world, eo as to be prepared for another stale of existence; and that tbe further we advanced in this world the fuither we would nud ourselves advanced in the next, or, as we go out ol this world, the next will find us. He spoke very fer vently, and was listened to with a great deal of attention by an appreciative audience. When he finished two ladies sang a charming duett to a very plaintive melody, and after it Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis, the founder of "progress in ljcenms" in tbe United States, spoke to the effect that the spiritualists were tne advanced guards ot future civilization, and they should have to encounter much contumely and derision, but in the end would triumph, and from the ranks. of the little boys of the lyceumnow belore them would spring the future legislators of these United Stales. Mr. Davis is a pleasing looking gentleman, and evidently sincere in his endeavors to do good; though baviog a fair faith in the doctrines of spiritualism, be either discountenances all niter exhibitions conducive of ridicule, and in his conversation and manners shows do eccentricity. He wan followed by his wife, Mrs. Davis, who spoke in a beautifully modulated and silvery voice. She graphically described the many comforts that attend the Spiritualist religion, and how de lightful it was to bold sweet converse with the spirits of the dear departed, and ccscluded by saying that we should be true to the highest and best that is within us, and then we could not fail to be happy. A remarkable-looking gentleman who peddled lazor-strops around Nafsuu street, then let loose on the crowd enough eloquence to have disposed of ft shipload of his wares. He apostrophized the Bun, tnoon, stars, and liRhtDlng, and afforded all present a good deal or fun et his witty remarks. It was understood that he took no sugar in his coflee. inuring me speaking about thirty or luny people congregated iu the woods above t&e pre cipice to lorra CIRCLES, ' of which there, were two, one inside the Iter. Those inside, sat down, but thoie outside stood op. In mh'out seven or eiht minutes a Bhudder was observed to pass over the frame of a woman In th inner circle. Kbe gradually became quite convulsed, sobbed and rubbed her hands vio lently for a space of Ave or six minutes, then 'threw her arms aroiyid like an electrified bull frog. Tbe crowd commenced to "get frightened. One medium made mysterious passes over her and down her back, but all to no avail. The agitation Increased. Two -more tried their powers with no bi tter success, until a mulatto medium cried out, "She is under the influence f iVm snirlt of a Cutholic priest." This then made a lot of passes, among which was the fciun of tne cross, mat sucueuut-u in restoring consciousness. The clairvoyant stated the priest trtinir to convert her. but she had strutted with him successfully, It was after wards ascer tained that this woman was an Orange Protestant of the strictest order, and ttiat her mind had been dwelling on religion for some time past. Another woman, who came from Massachusetts, went off into a trance and became possessed of the spirit of an "Indian." She scrambled over the precipice in an agonizing way, causing the spectators great terror, and gave vent to a lot of unmitigated twaddle about squaws, wampum, and fire-water. She spoke in broken Engllnh that still had a twang of Yankee land about it. and the noble Bavage that possessed her seemed to have been a model Brave, as he wanted to get home to his squaw, besides being down on fire-water. Shortly after this Indian got back to his happy hunting grounds, another medium become tilled with the spirit of Lola Montez, who smiled grace fully, flirted frightfully, and went deeply into a discussion of woman's rights. Some of the me diums present declared the spirit was too strong for the clairvoyant, and tbe shade of Lola was left in peace. In about an hour after this, tbis same medium was possessed of another spirit and cried out, "ho for a fiddle and a fine plat form," and behold 1 the etherial substance of the late "Jim Crow" was among the crowd. The medium's capering caused the gaping rustics ranged aroung great astonishment, and one big neeio wench said, in evident fear, "God a-mercjl what am dem dar? Oh, golly!" Every body enjoyed the fun, and amiubility was the order of the day, The rain interfered a little with the dancing, but among one thousand to twelve hundred people, there are always sure to be some adepts in tbe art of amusing, and a party from Mr. Conway's theatre, Brooklyn, made the welkin ring with bodrs and comical speeches. The boat left at 6, and in an hour after the party was landed at Christopher street in a pelting rain storm. JV. Y. World. AARON JONES IN TRAINING. A Cheerful Walk of Twenty Miles In Three fc'lannel Shirts and a Winter Coat, on n July Day Ills Meat and Ills Prink. Borne days since we published a very full ac count of the doings of McCool and his trainers, and we now give some interesting details of the prcparations'of Aaron Jones for his tight with McCool, which will take place about flty miles from Cincinnati, on Saturday, the 31st of August. The Buckeye House, in Cincinnati, where Jones is in vigorous training, is admirably adapted to this kind of business, for it gives all the-advantages of shade and coolness, and river, hill, and road exerciocs. Situated on the bank of tbe Ohio, in a nice valley, with towering hills across the river, on tne Kentucky side, it is a very pleasant place of resort lor those who take enough interest in the matter to visit Mr. Jones, nnd there are many visitors there every day. James Casick, who 1b one of the best trainers in the world, who went to England and trained Heenan tor the Buyers tight and Coburn for tbe Mace fight, and who combines gentle? manly qualities with the requisite character istics ot tbe thorough trainer, is training Aaron Jones, and doing it remarkably well. He watches his man with tbe vigilance of a faithful sentinel, and puts bim through tbe terrible work of the training with the discipline of a martinet. T he'daily work is divided between walking, rowing, exercises with weights and bags, and rubbing down. The hardest portion of it is the walking to strengthen legs and reduce flesh that is superfluous. A walk of ten miles and return, incased in three flannel shirts and a winter coat, with a morning sun ponring down 90 degrees of heat from an unclouded sky, with perspiration running in streams from face, head, limbs, and body, is hard work, and well calculated to make a man "strong on his pins 1" The trainer has to go thimiph tnis work, also, without the super fluous clothing, of course. He keeps his pnptl at top speed, and requires him to talk rapidly, although panting with ex ertion. This is to accubtom the lungs to quick work and steady action, for they will be allowed only one-half minute ot rest between rounds In the fight. After the heavy walk of the day the body is rubbed down, sponged, nnd covered with dry clothing. Only very plain loofl is allowed, and that with scarcelv anv seasoning. Liquors are used very carefully, and in hoinceo- patnic doses; occasionally a nine uruuuj ur sherry, and occasionally a glass ot the best quality of ale. Mr. JoneB is in the best spirits possible, and rapidly arriviug at a splendid condition of body. He will enter the ring a much smaller man than his opponent, but fully hie equal in endurance, and the fight will be one of great strength and size and but little science on the part of McCdoI, against considerable strength and a great deal of science on the part of Jones. There is not near so much disparity in age as has been represented. The fact is, Jones is only thirty-four years of age. He was born in Shropshire, England, on the 1st March, 1833. His years have been overestimated by those en tirely ignorant on the subject, because he com menced tightine when be was very young in h is fourteenth year, in fact. THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Anticipated Row Between the Kins; and Bishop Btaley Commercial Fail uresReturn of the I.ackavranna Celebration of the Fourth Arrival of General McCook. Sak Francisco, July 18. By the b:irque Koin cer we have Honolulu dates to Jane 22. A seri ous difficulty ta anticipated between bishop Sialey and the King, by reason ot a letter written by the former, charging the latier with non-payment of subscription to the Church, and using language ot the most insulting char acter. The sugar mill of Decalton was de stroyed by fire on the night of June 6. The missionary packet Morning Star arrived on June 10 from a cruise among tbe Marquesas Islands, and reports the mission stations in a flourishing condition. The United States steamer Lackawanna returned from a cruise on the th of June. Tbe firm of E. C. McCandless A Co. has failed; liabilities, $30,000; assets, $ 80110. The Fourth of July was to be celebrated in a brilliant manner. General McCook, Min ister resident of the United States, and family arrived on the evening of the 21st ot June from his visit to the States. 1 JEFF, DAVIS.

THE VETO MESSAGE FORESHADOWED. Is the President Bound to Kxecute the X.ast Reconstruction Caw of Congress! Mr. Johnson's Official Organ Thinks Not Congress and its Laws are to be Defied. From the Wathington Intelligencer of yesterday. Solemnly sensible of the moral responsibility we assume to readers of discrimination and candor, we deliberately announce our consul tnllous belief Hint a national crisis Is at hand. With the humility of painful oonviotioo we offer to-day no rash observations; but In melan choly sincerity we implore every citizen to banish lor the hour all prejudice and preposses sion, and consider with us the transcendent Issue which appears at last to have arisen In the country from the long and distracting strife of partisanship, and which, we are constrained to believe, threatens conseqences or Infinite cala mity to all classes of tbe American people. A bill has been framed In tbe national legis lature, in which are contained many features kindred to those of tbe expediency and uncon stitutionality of which our convlotlons are well known. iiutgieHtas we deem an occasion on which the Inviolability of provisions of tbe organic law Is In question, the present Is one when mere infractions of tbe Constitution, however gross In form or evil la tendency, must be assigned a grade to whtob our discourse can not descend. The decisions of the courts, the Influences arising from business and social re lations, and even tbe fluctuations of party ascendancy, may modify, correct, or overrule, sooner or later, the errors of legislation, bow ever deplorable In actual mischief or In hypo thetical tendency. The frame of tbe political body may still subsist in Its vital organs for the conservation of remedial agencies. But when, from; whatever cunse aud oy whatever Instrumentalities, the essential pillars of tbe Slate are tottering, interests, otherwise of the highest importance, sink to Insignificance. To a question of such gloomy dignity we humbly Invite oor fellow-citizens. The tripod of government tbe fundamental division Into executive, legislative, and Judicial depart ments; tbe sole equilibrium of order, the pri mordial principle of tbis treat republic Is menaced, and it it is buffered to fall, our society innst swiftly go to ruin. Let us consider the bill which is before the President for his action. It is supplementary to two other acts of Con gress now in force, under which, according to the responsible opinion of a Jurist, there does not exist, for all the purposes of a Btate, except keeping the peace and conducting certain elec tions, a valid' local government, under and by virtue of the Constitution and the popular will of each State. The present supplementary bill provides in the first section that "said Govern ments, if continued, were continued subject in all respects to the military commanders of the respective districts, and to tbe paramount authority of Congress," these districts being composed, each, of one or more States, formerly enjoying their constitutional relations In tbe Union, hu J thecommanders being officers of the national army detailed to them respectively in coutormlty to the previous statute, of which the words quoted are declared to be the valid inter pretation. By the second section It Is provided that the several district commanders, not by authority of the Commander-in-Chief nor of the General of tbe Army, but subject to thedlsap- Jiroval of tbe latier, and lnferentially not sub ect to the disapproval of the lormer, but by the exclusive authority of Congress and by force of this act. shall have and exercise the appointing power whenever, "In the opinion of such com mander, the proper administration of said act shall require it." Under tbe declared statutes above, and nnder such a provision, no official in the 8tte acts by authority of the State or Us people. The "con sent of the governed" Is solemnly and formally abrogated as a law and as a principle in one third of the republic. There is, therefore, no vestige to be left of any kind of local authority. Local action, by whomsoever performed, or under whatsoever color of authority, Is completely destitute of sanction, and must derive the whole of lta validity lroiu the virtue negatively or posi tively glvtn It by the general Government. Whether It Is constitutional thus to cancel In toto the entire corporate being of a State, and In toto the acknowledged inalienable rights of twelve millions of persons, once on an equal footing with all the members of the Union, is a question altogether foreign, and compara tively inconsiderable at this grave moment. But the observation which befits this place is, that, according to these provisions, and many others in the bill, all legislative, executive, and Judicial power operative In those States is merged in tbe general mass of legislative, ex ecutive, and Judicial power of the United States. AH vublio agents, then, must necessarily be public agents of tbe United Status. There are no officials of tbe State of any species or In any degree. This, however, is not left to inference. Tbe ninth section expressly requires the whole of them, without exception, not ulready adopted as Federal officers, to become such, by each taking the oath of office prescribed by tbe act of Congress In 1862. In number, the great majo rity of these officers of the United States have become such by adoption, but the remainder are to be appointed on behalf of the United Slates. No provision is made for commissioning tbem; but official competency does not depend wholly upon commisslou, but mainly upon de facto performance nnder due appointment. Tbe provisions quoted, and many others in tbe bill, contemplate a power to be vested In the respective commanders, with a correspond ing moral, but with no constitutional responsi bility for the administration of these statutes, In the manner of an Executive magistrate. By tbe third section the General of tbe army Is vested with the like power and responsibility br to removing and appointing officers. It Is observable that, notwithstanding the peculiar and powerful civil functions devolved upon these officers, It was not thought fit to bind them by any peculiar oath, none being required but what they have taken in common with the cadets at West Point, as a qualification for an exclusively military office. The several provisions overruling the Attorney-General's construction ol the former acts distinctly Impart the Independent power of removal and appointment to each commander, and to the General of tbe army, whenever they may deem It expedient to exercise the discre tion, In tbe case of every officer acting in their respective districts, without any exception, but inlerentlully ot postmasters, reveuue officers, and Judges, district attorneys, marshals, 6 to., of the courts belonging to tbe regular Judiciary of the United Slates. We are persuaded that no exaggeration will be imputed to the following deductions from tne foregoing: Without considering whether or not oy an abuse of tbe Constitution Congress baa thought fit to occasion an immense acoeshion to tue Jurisdiction of the United States, as a Govern ment oi iimiteu powers, anu consistently wuu tbe accession nas made provision for a corres ponding complement of officers and ageuts, greater in number, perhaps, than the entire official list of the United States hitherto; and also for a system of colonial government aud political regulation, comprised In the residuum of IbVffier laws of the States respectively, and in the statutes of which these, including the present bill, are tbe principal, wbloh may f;o under the general name of "Reconstruction aw;" the wnrked features of this system are three:!. That the Government is essen- tially military, a. That all oflleets and a?ents employed In its administration rxeoutive, legislative, and judicial primarily r'ederal, ot so bv adoption, uuder and by virtue of the said Stales, are removable at pleasure. 8. That the President of the United States is virtually ex nnerateu by these laws from asencv or respou Bibillty In their execution. A fourth peculiarity nf the highest conseauence at an earlier day lias now fallen somewhat behind the present tnnuirv. except as iaciuiaunar aDnrenensiou, viz.: The President was ousted oi bis magis tracy. In a great degree, over these States in com nion with the other States of the Union, In as tnraa 1 1 il r ronm 1 1 n t loiml relatlnrm nrrHrrmded with tbe latter, by the passage of the act of 2d ofWarcn. nut tne pleasure or uongress in ex cluding all their representatives left their con ditlon such as to render It expedient. In bis Judgment, rather to waive the question than to V,rfilona the disturbance. This forbearance he bad the power, however Ineffectually for the end, to exercise, because he was not bound to decide upon the constitutionality of the acts. They were acts wbloh could be executed, and If so, but one Executive existed to perform that duty, lint acts of Congress whlon purport to exonerate from, or forbid the President t0 exe cute them cannot be laws, for nothing is a law f the United States which the President Is not bound to execute. The startling qnpstlon, then, is, whether the President of the United States has the right to treat as laws, in any actual In stance, the several provisions of this bill that contemplate their execution without his au thority? The expediency of a duality or of any other division of the executive power of tbe Federal Government was exhaustively discussed in the Convention of 1787, which Immortal body at 1 nglh ordained that "the executive power of the United States should be vested In ft Presi dent, to hold his office for fonr years." When ever, then, the United States has or exercises a power, and that power or any part of it Is exe cutive, there Is no constitutional possibility of executing that power otherwise than through the President. There Is nowhere In the Consti tution any power given Congress to exonerate, or given bim to abdicate either as to a particu lar law, or as to the lawsapplioable to a particu lar territory. There Is a constitutional provision for hta re moval it he fails of firm fidelity. The only safety of publlo liberty Is In his responsibility, and a power In bim to forego his constitutional duty is only another name for tbe ruinous privilege of shirking a constitutional accountability. Nor could lie, by a corrupt and treasonable col lusion with the legislature, exonerate himself from bis sworn duly, under pretense that Con gress bad exercised a power of erecting aspeolal or local executive for a particular law or class oflaws. If be could not procure such an exon eration bow can he accept such ? An act passed by Congress to be executed without the responsibility of the sole Exeoutive ol the United States Is not a law. As well might tbe city councils of Washington pass such an act. It would be an enactment ultra vires. Their charter gives certain powers, and such an act would be beyond their powers. But though Congress has larger powers, it has not this power a particle, more than tbe councils of this city If their charter, the Constitution, does not give it. What, then, is tbe President's duty? He has solemnly sworn to execute faithfully tbe ollloe of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect, aud defend tbe Constitution. There are fourteen volumes of statutes in tbe United States. He Is bound to execute every one of tuem when oocaslon calls. But if enactments exist which forbid him to execute their provisions, by direction or by Im plication, it is impossible mat tney can be laws, and if not laws, tbey cannot repeal, modify, binder, obstruct, or embarrass laws, much less Constitutions, State or Federal. If enactments purporting to be In force In tbe United States as laws of the land, yet which an not be, becaule not executable by :Ithe only Executive which can exe- cute, a law, are put into practical ope ration by persons pretending to be executives, and the operations of these persons contravene or binder In any degree other laws realty in mice, nooouy can pretend to douot What tbe case is, what the President's duty is, and what are the consequences of any hesita tion or (altering on his part. When such a col lision between the laws and tbe unwarrantable authority of insurgents or revolutionists (or, what are the same things exeoutive o til ours not Hgents of the only Executive) actually arises, be tbe abstract merits of tbe controversy what they may, and be the motives of the par ties good or evil. It Is certain that public order is brought to the fearful extremity of a de pendence for tbe time on the courage, pru dence, ond fidelity of one man the general magistrate of the Union. There Is even more a matter of anxious and earnest solicitude at such a time as this, when the chosen agents of a new, vast, and anoma lous government over one-third of the conutry, a government unnnowu eitner in state or Federal law. and which threatens to utterly swallow op both, are military chieftains, armed and prepared for any of those fell enterprises, wnetner oi tyranny or reiorm, wniou in ail na tions have proved an Irresistible temptation to popular and aspiring soldiers, especially la times of high party contention upon funda mental theories, when the noblest motives fre quently but fatally reinforce revolutionary designs, seduced by enthusiasm in the absence of settled Ideas of policy and law In the publlo mind of the day. We give tbe above Impressions, with which we are profoundly moved. We speak for our selves only; but we could not better certify our sincerity than by confessing that they may be overdrawn. But If so, only the event could convince us of the fact. We fear they are too true. Statesmen! soldiers! citizens! pause and con- aider 1 Is there occasion for these terrible possi bilities? Retract the exorbitancy of partisan seal; Btill the tempest of partisan resentment; hush the persuasive but bad promptings of am bition; remember only tbe great truths of old, and rally to your country, Us laws, Its Constitu tion, and its sworn ministers.

The (lipcount line affords very little employment for capital, and the close scrutiny to which com mercial paper is subjected causes the best crade only to be negotiable at the banks, and this is quoted at six and seven per cent. The Treasury is disbursing the interest and principal of the compound interest notes which fell due on the 15th instant, amounting to fifteen mil lions, as well as the six millions due on the third series ot the sf-ven-tbirty loan, very slowly, owing to the want of employment for the money at this and the minor financial centres." i PHILaDELPnU STOCK EXCHANGE SALES T0 LAI Heported by Delia ven & Bro., No. 40 B.
