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 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.

Tbe New York Herald this morning says:
"There is undiminished ease in the money
market, notwithstanding tbe enlarged demand
from the Btork Exchange, and the geaeral rate
for call loans Is five per cent., the exceptional
transactions being at four aud six respectively,
and the lower rate confined to balances left with,
the leading dealers in Government securities.
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
