CASTING OUT 1EVILS.
FVoiii the X. Y. Tribune.
The dotortmuntion of Uio lmiiinn mind to
bolicvo iu evil spirits, us it' ita own rascality
and depravity woro not ruilVipionr, is certainly
Discournginpr. Tljoro are thoso who apologiHO
for this proclivity ly iittribnliny it to ij;no
raticc; .nit, at this tinio of day, tho human
iiud aforesaid lias no business to bo ho
iloiihfly ignorant as to mipposo it possible for
devils to tul.o posMfssiuii of boys though
theno do sometimes holmvo in a way to loud
to tlinl belief, if wo could but settle the fact
'that thoro are devils to tiiko "possession," in
accordance- with the crodulity which alHicts
the superstitious. Sonio time n'o wo hoard
of 11 girl in Ohio who was said to be
"obnessod," which is something more dread
ful than boing "possessed," and a groat
tlenl harder to cure. AVe rocommended
in this cuso mild cathartics, but, even
if they were . administered, we nevor
iieaulof tho result. Now we get news of a
C Jerman young man away out in Watertown,
Vihcomiin, who has " 'em" badly, whatoyor
they may bo. This instance of diabolical
ncney having excited much attention, two
editors (supposed to be familiar with devils)
have ihitcd tho youth, and thoir report is
thrilling in the extreme. The family to whioh
tho young man belongs came from Northorn
Clermany, a country highly devoted to the
dovclopmejit of spirits, ghosts, and demons.
The youth's name is Siege, and a hard siege
he was having of it long before ho came to this
enlightened land. His troubles began when he
was about five years old. The story is that his
Bister found "a duck's egg with a pin-hole in
it.'
. . I .. .1 . i i .i: l : . 1. . .
I'jiuur juuiL'i urn uuectiun sua gave 1- n
a dog, when the poor animal wont mad and
Mind; the sister went into spasms, and soon
died; this boy became also blind, and was
troubled with contortions. Also with "jerk
iugs." Likewiso with frothing-at-the-mouth.
Moreover, with "looks of most malignant
Latred." He could only "appoaso the raging
demons by making tho sign of the cross,
lie was treated "with roots;" he got no better
very fust; and his afilicted parents deter
mined to emigrate to this country to try our
Columbian "roots." But tho kind of vege
table proper for this case does not grow in
Wisconsin. At any rate, the unfortunate
German is having "tho jerks" and "the
shakes" somewhat worse than ever. "The
demoniac symptoms" assumed "an added
violence." Ho gnashed lis teeth, he threat
ened to break tho bones of his little brother.
Then the doors began to slam. Hollow noises
were hard in the room. The family all had
'a rush of blood to the head." One of the
Bisters also had an illegitimate child by a
Lutheran minister. . Then tho dovil got into
this poor family a cow, which "roared on her
legs, smote her tail, and shook her horns with
Bavage fury."
Of course, this was too bad to bo borne,
and an Indian doctor was called in. This
aboriginal physician tried "plasters," but in
a few days the plasters refused to stick, and
"sprouted hairs." Then they summoned a
medium, who diagnosed "a snake in the
stomach," the "lashings of whose tail could
le heard under the ribs." Finally, the aid of
the Catholic Church was invoked, but, the
young person being a Lutheran, there was
some disinclination to undertake his cure,
although at the time of the last accounts this
poor epileptic had been carried to church
and "placed in different attitudes before the
picture of the Holy Virgin." Upon this, the
spirits espoke "in tho Irish and Latin lan
guages." Four devils were cast out "in one
day," and a pretty good day's work we con
sider that it was. On the next day three
more were cast out. On the day following
"the most obdurate" agreed to leave. But,
alas ! another dovil, according to the ac
count before us,, has manifested himself, and
after being cast out, announced the presence
of four others in poor Master Siege's sto
mach. When last beard from he was going
to church regularly, but that he will ever get
rid of all hi i devils is more than we can
affirm.
Now, here is a story which really belongs to
the Middle Ages, or to some earlier period of
the world's history, and which should receive
credit at the present time only in some semi
civilized country. v If we may judge from the
narrative, tho person said to be "possessed" is
an epileptic, suffering from a disease nearly
incurable, and which, in time, is productive of
many mental delusions. The reverend and
religions man who undertook to relieve this
patient should at least have called in some
jhysician of ability. If we hold that epilepsy
in to be cured by miracles, let us at least com
prehend that it is not occasioned by the pre
sence of evil spirits. What, pray, has the
world outgrown of the folly of its infancy, of
the ignorance of its darkest days, if it has not
outgrown the miserable dolusion of a direct
personal Satanio agency exercised over the
itrains, and the bowels, and the stomach, and
the nervous system? What epilepsy is we partly
know; of these devils we can know nothinnr,
and need to know nothing, and we might as
well claim their malignant prosonce in cases
of cholera, of brain fever, and of hydroce
phalus. But, after all, it is a mournful con
sideration that hardly any cultivation (except
a certain cultivation in itself of a skeptical
kind) can save men from the folly of believ
ing impossible things, and that, too, upon
mpossible grounds. "There are educated
men," nays Mr. Henry Kingsley, "in England
Who believe that Mr. Home was carried round
Ihe ceiling of a room." Theonlysafety for man
Igainst intellectual delusion is in steadily re
vising to accept upon hearsay testimony, or
lpon tho conclusions of the senses, apparent
natural laws which contradict those which
have been fully demonstrated by the expe
rience of mankind. Is there, can there be,
uch a thing as supernatural phenomena ex
cept by the direct interposition of the Deity,
for reasons which carry their value upon their
face, and which are consistent with the dig
nity of a Supreme Being?
FRIGHT AS A MONETARY REGULATOR.
Front the Cincinnati Gazette.
The monotary affairs of the country for the
last four years have been under a constant
Hcare. This, whioh to some extent was the
natural consequence of irredeemable paper
monoy, was kept up and aggravated by Trea
sury operations to break the gold market,
and by the course of half crazy journals in
hounding on this policy and continually hold
ing out the threat of some sudden turn by
which the currency was to be changed to
specie payment, and all debts enhanoed
thirty or forty per cent. By this tho fluctua
tions and uncertainties inseparable from an
Irredeemable currency have beon greatly mul
tiplied; business turned into hazardous specu
lation upon the general uncertainty and tho
tariations of the currency; legitimate enter,
prise paralyzed; capital driven from indus
trial operations into investment in pu'.lio
THE DAILr EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY,
bonds; tho exportable products of the country
deprosKed in price, while the produoer has to
pay inflated prices for everything ho buy,
and a wide margin to cover the extra hazards
of trade.
This policy of fright was begun by MoCul
loeh, who had an idea that ho could put tho
screws on the money market and scare the
WhII street speculators without hurting legiti
mate businoss 'and tho iiupihos. Tho sama
policy has been capriciously continued eyer
hinco, with tho foolinh idea that speculative
operations to "bear" gold, is an approach to
fipecio payments. Its effects have boon mul
tiplied by" foolish public, journals which have
incessantly clamored that tho Socrotary of tho
Treasury should open the sluice and drop his
rile of gold upon the market nnd broak it.
!y this incondiary policy the wholo country
has been kept in continual apprehension of
an impending change, the producers of ex
portable products havo been robbed, perma
nent industrial undertakings proventod,
traders plundered, money capital frightonod
into hoards, interest on money raised, loan
accommodations shortened, and legitimate
industry chcatod of its just rewards.
Incendiaries roaming at largo would be loss
destructive than these monotary agitators.
The industry and trade of civilization require
peace and confidence. A continual approhen
fcion is a continual calamity. Who will enter
into any new enterprise, or into any exten
sion of old ones, while such a stato of uncer
tainty exists, unless ho can see in it a quick
turn of cent, per cent.? Thus the require
ment of margins to cover risks are enor
mously enhanced, and by these all are taxed,
while they do not bring safety to the traders.
The consequences of all this mere incendi
arism h.ve cost the country more for the last
four years than all tho expenses of tho Gov
ernment and of the publio debt. And by
all this tho currency has not approached any
nearer to the point of stability nor to tho pos
bibilities of specie payment.
Besides all the fright of legitimate enter
prise by this incendiarism, the constant din
ning into tho cars of the country that specie
payment was going to bo brought in by a
quick turn, when tho pnpor dollar would rise
from seventy cents to the value of tho coin
dollar, has stimulated nil sorts of hoarding of
currency with tho expectation of turning it
into specie. This saving and hoarding, which
is always practiced to some extent, and in its
natural way is well, is now greatly increased
by this promise of a speculation, and thus it
becomes a serious evil, taking a largo amount
of money out of circulation. S ruinous
havo been the effects of this scaring policy;
so many good men have Buffered by it while
doing all that skill and integrity could do to
carry on legitimate business; so harassed
have been the best trading classes by these
variations and uncertainties, that they are
driven to the conclusion that if this is to con
tinue, it wore better to linvo the crisis come
at once, by wiping out tho currency and
restoring specie money, so that they can
begin the work of reconstruction from gono
ral bankruptcy.
And so it would bo. Bolter tho steady
pressuro of the screw of contract ion which
will eventuate in a fixed mensure of values
beyond the caprice of tho Government and
tho influence of incendiary journals, than this
continued uncertainty and change which ap
proaches not one inch nearer to stability. If
we are to have tho hardship of a change we
are entitled to know whut it is. and to bo
assured that it is to result in settlement on a
sound foundation. There is ouo way that
everybody knows will bring this, and that is
a steady contraction of the currency. Iu no
other way can 700 millions of paper money be
brought to specie redemption. All the specu
lative operations on the market for demone
tized gold are nothing; for if the prico could
in this way bo broken down to par with cur
rency, specie redemption on such a volume of
currency would swiftly take all the coin out of
sight; for no one would bolieve it could last.
The hardship of contraction is so apparent
that no party dare enact it. But while afraid
to adopt the only course that will bring specie
payment at the par of the notes, they pursue
a course that has consequences as disastrous,
without any progress towards the result.
There is no necessity for the calamity of con
traction; nor is there any excuse for this policy
of destruction which is called rogulating the
market. What business has Government in
the money market, putting prices down or
up? What right has it to assume that any
branch of business is to. be outlawed ? Let
the Government got out of the monoy market
and return to its legitimate business. The
Secretary of tho Treasury, instead of making
raids upon the market, should be required to
fix the prico at which he will sell gold from
the Treasury in exchange for groonbacks, and
should fix it at such a rate as will be safe
against all comers. Then let tho price of
gold come to it. In this way it would regu
late the currency, instead of aggravating its
variableness.
The Treasury is under no necessity to sell
gold. It has, according to tho books, a libe
ral margin of currency, and tho actual sum is
always much greater than that shown by tho
balance of receipts and of drafts issued. And
it has now no great surplus of gold over its
immediate liabilities. This business of trying
to control market prices is a monstrous in
terference of Government in private rights,
and is too prolific of suspicion to be safe for
any Government. And all this "bearing" of
gold increases the general uncertainty and
alarm, makes all trade extra hazardous, taxes
the wholo people upon its uncertainties, robs
the traders, depresses the prices of all ex
portable products, stimulates importation,
expedites tho llight of bonds and gold abroad,
paralyzes industrial enterprise, and brings
upon the country all tho effects of a general
calamity without uny rational cause or good
result.
FRANCE CESARISM ENDED RESPON
SIBLE GOVERNMENT INAUGURATED.
From the N. Y. Uerald.
in the matter of French news, so far at
least as the government reform movement is
concerned, we have got to something like
firm ground. Since September tho 8lh there
has been suspense, uncertainty, doubt, and
even dangor. How far tho promised roforras
were to be carried out no "ne could tell. The
suspense was somewhat relieved by the elec
tions, and later by the Emperor's address;
but tho elections creatod fear and the Empe
ror's speech did not inspire hope. The queg
tion still remained, How iruch of Ciosarisiu
was to bo abandoned and how much of re
sponsible government war. to be grautod ? It
was difficult to believe that tho man of De
cember, the head of '.ho house of Bonaparte,
the author of the "life of Julius Ciesar," the
successful representative of the oue-man
power, would ever consent to come down to
the vulgar nocpsity of ruling France by"
means of responsible ministers. This diffi
culty, which was great in spite of the pro
mised reforms, was increased rather than
diminished by the cautions and reticent char
acter of the Emperor 'sspoich.
It now appears that the Emperor really
meuns to reduce his promised reforms to
practice, and that if the edifice is not crowned
I with liberty the fault will not be his. His
former ministers have resigned, and the re
signation hiw been accepted. M. Ollivier has
been requested to undertake tho formation of
a Ministry. Tho Emperor doairos him to
name persons who, assooiated with him, would
form a homogeneous Cabinet, faithfully repre
senting the legislative majority, and resolved
to carry out, iu letter and spirit, tho iienattt
VovHullinn of September last. According to
liberal journals personal government is at an
end, and tho Emperor's letter is the "first
chapter in tho history of the liberal empire"
As wo have said already, this is compara
tively firm ground. We know not what is
the political situation in France. Tho Era
poror has abandoned his former position a
position in which ho has dono bo much for
French honor and French prosperity. He is
no longor the Ca-sar, tho autocrat, tho gov
ernment Between him and Franco thoro is
henceforth to be a responsible- ministry. With
some slight modifications the Government of
France will be conducted substantially as is
the Government of Great Britain. The Minis
ters will be responsiblo to the Corps Lgisla
tif, and tho members of the Corps Legislatif
will btr-responsible to tho people. If the new
plan works well Franco will havo reason to be
proud; for tho Govcrnmont machine will bo
one of the most perfect in existence. Nomi
nally an empire with a truly great man at its
head, France will in point of fact be a re
public. Wo must now honestly admit that
Napoleon has come up to the high expectation
of his friends. Less would have been disap
pointing, more would have been unwise. He
hos redeemed his pledges; and if ho has pro
voked some impatience by what soomod de
lay, wo cannot deny, in view of the result,
that tho delay has been fully justified. Doepor
than ever is Napoleon's name engraved on the
poge of history, and nobler than ever is his
record. If tho First Napoleon must in all
time to come be spoken of as the Julius Ciesar
of France, tho Third Napoleon will undoubt
edly be remembered as tho Augustus.
Much, however, depends on tho French
people themselves. It is not our boliof that
this transition will be got over without trou
ble. To the present raco of Frenchmen re
sponsiblo government is a theory, not an ex
perience. Tho people will persist in looking
to tho Emperor rather than his Ministers.
Tho Emperor will for some time to come find
it difficult to restrain himself from dealing
with tho people. This doublo trouble will be
certain to bo aggravated by the iuexporionco
of Ministers, by tho inoxperienco of tho
Chandicr, nnd by tho stiffness of tho now
machine. Ju selecting M. Ollivier as his first
l'riiuo Minister tho Emperor has fairly con
lormed to the requirements of parliamentary
government. M. Ollivier is tho only man
who iu present circumstances can command
a majority in thn Corps Legislatif. Ho is
tho acknowledged chief of tho right cenlro,
and the ground ho litis tuken is uch that tho
parly of tho Left will fin?", it necessary to'fol
low his lead, unless they make up thoir minds
to be simply obstructive. To tho Em
peror ho is personally attached, and at a time
when tho idea seemed too preposterous to bo
ficrioutdy entertained he was bold enough to
conceive the reconciliation of the empire with
liberty. When the Left brokejup M. Ollivier
set himself to work, and the programmo of
tho right centre a progrummo broad ouough
to command the support of tho main body of
tho moderate liberals nnd to be satisfactory to
the party of the Left is tho result of his
labors. The Cabinet crisis continued at a late
hour yesterday evening. Tho new Ministry
had not been constituted, and Paris was
slightly agitated by speculative comment. If
tho r rime Minister designated is successful in
forming a strong and acceptable. Cabinot he
has a fair chance of hopefully launching the
new constitution. For his own sake, for tho
Emperor s soke, but chiefly for tho sake of
liberty, we wish him all success. It is a
new era for France. May sho prove- hersolf
equal to it. .
THE DEMOCRATIC TARTY AND FRAU
DULENT ELECTIONS.
From the A". Y. Sun.
No person who has examined the subject,
atd is capable of forming an unbiassed
opinion, entortains a doubt that enormous
frauds were perpetrated in the two or throo
last elections held in this city and in Brooklyn.
There were frauds in the naturalizing, frauds
in the registering, frauds in the voting, frauds
in the counting, frauds in the returning,
frauds in the canvassing. Some of these
frauds were committod in secret; othors wore
practised openly and ostentatiously. Some
were ingeniously contrived, and well calcu
lated to deceive the uunwary; others woro
barefaced and bungling, and scorned to shun
the light of day.
The grand total of this villany reachod
startling dimensions. The groat body of it
was the work of worthless characters, the
mere scum which floats on the seething sur
face of two large cities. But an important
part of it, and that part without which the
rebt would have been of little avail, or have
come utterly to naught, was devised by clear
heads, which carry themselves high in society,
and executed by hands that had beon lifted
up to receive the oaths of office.
Perhaps the worst and most dangerous form
which these frauds assumed was what is
known ns repeating, or tho reduction to actual
use of the party slogan, once a sorry jost,
but now a terrible tact in this metropolis,
"Vote early, and vote often!" At first, this
nefurious practice was carried on slily and
sparingly. But now, emboldened by immu
nity from punishment, and grown lusty by
tho bribes they feed upon, gaDgs of re
peaters perambulate the city from poll to poll
on election day, and stuff their ballots into
tho boxes, under simulated namos, or forged
names, or the names of real citizens who
have not yet voted; and this they do as
openly and fearlessly as they paraded in the
torchlight procession of the previous night,
and drank libations of whisky to the success
of their candidates. In some of the wards
of this city these gangs of repeaters are as
regularly organized as the genuine voters
themselves; and to such perfection has the
sybtem arrived that, through duly autho
rized agents, their ballots have become an
article of merchandise as really as poultry or
potatoes.
The recent charter election demonstrated
that this sybtem will, unless speedily crushed,
soon ripen into fearful riots at the polls be
tween rival corps of repeaters. Already the
lending strings in some of tho wards nave
slipped from the hands of tho political mag
nates who organized tho scheme, and the re
peaters have set up for thomselves, in some
cases selling their votes to irregular candi
dates, and in others using their strength to
tleynte to office some favorite member of
their gang. Distinguished party chiefs have
taught their big-fisted, low-browed tools how
strong they are, and how necessary they are;
and they seem disposed henceforth to carry
a.. I . V - f i . . . J
oh mo DiiMiicKH vi irauumcnt elections in
their own behulf and for their own behoof.
The keepers have unchained the tiger; but
bo refunds to return within the bars when
they cull him back. The magicians have
raised tho dovil; but tho demon will not
down at their bidding
In a word, tho r pentcrs havo lasted spoih
nnd plunder, and even office, and well will it
bo lor their whilom masters if they do not
now turn and rend them. Indeed, tlioy have
already torn ono or two of thoro, gmng thorn
striking tokens of their bolduoss, rapacity,
tnd power.
But why dwell upon the facts? Thoy are
patent to all, nnd ring through the land. We
do not present them in n partisan aspect, for
wo do not regard cheating at eloetiuu. as ex
clusively a 1 lemocratio vico. But hero, in this
nnd the adjoining Democrat io city, where this
foe of free institutions and representative
povernments stalks abroad ot noonday, and
whore all authority and power is now or soon
will be under tho exclusive control of tho
Democratic party, good citizens of all parties
demand that these malefactors shall be
brought to condign punishment.
If tho leaders of tho Democratic party in
this city nnd in this State turn a deaf ear to
this demand, they will bo hold to a stom
reckoning by high-minded, courageous mem
bers of their own political organization, who
will nnito with good men of whatever party
to visit upon their betrayers a rebuke at the
polls which will long bo memorable in the
history of Now York.
If the Democratic party of this State hopes
to save itself from ruin at home, and rogain
a fair reputation abroad, it must not only
punish tho election frauds reeontly porpo
trnted in this .city and Brooklyn without
delny, lmt take measures that will make thoir
recurrence impossible.
THE PARTY OF TWO
POLITICS.
IN FRENCH
From the N. Y. Time.
In tho new distribution of political parties
Frnnco, MM. Raspail and Ro . hofort have
in
earned tho unique distinction of having a
section all to themselves. The substautive
existence of the party cannot, however, be
questioned, and no one who has read the ex
tracts from tho proceedings of tho Corps
Legislatif, furnished by our Taris corres
pondent, will doubt the obvious determina
tion of tho new radical soction to keop the
fact of its existence promiuently before the
publio miud. Personally, the union of two
such men presents an odd enough contrast.
Raspnil, the grim old socialist, chemist, and
herbnlist, equally familiar with unheard-of
cures for bodily ailments, as with revolution
nry remedies for tho distempers of tho State,
seems a being as unlike as possible to the gay
and brilliant Count Henri do Roi hefort a
modern exquisito and, a typo of "Young
Paris." Yet tho one would scarcely bo com
pleto without tho other, for whilo Raspail
t -liibodies tho stern regrets and bitter memo
ries of tho post, Rochefort is tho representa
tive of tho concentrated dislike nnd impa
tience of tho present. Betwoou them they
represent that prejudice against the imperial
dynasty which seems to bo .a qrowing senti
ment among tho masses of tho French
people.
W hilo it is perfectly eay to smilo at tho ab
surdities which tho necessities of their posi
tion will force upon the new Deputies, it is
needful to bear in mind that they furnish tho
eountei pait within the Chamber of a power
ful phase of popular opinion outside of it.
lu-n wo compare tho unsparing uso which
the author of tho Lautcrnc makes of weapons
of ridicule nnd satire against, the dynasty,
with tho very pitiable manner in which he
winces under their personal application, wo
nre npt to conclude that, being at once weak
nnd vain, ho is likely to become Contemptible;
but when, in spite of sundry foolish exhibi
tions, we find his new paper, tho MameiUaine,
realizing a sale, unexampled even in novelty
loving Paris, of 180,000 copies, we are re
minded that tho Deputy of tho First Circum
scription of. the Seine is a political power in
spite of, if not' by reason of, his inconsis
tencies. Tho opposition "five" of eight years
ago received a fair share of ridicule, but they
survived, in spite of it, to change the entire
complexion of French politics. The factions
and irreconcilable "two" may, by the very
consistency of their bitter and uncompromis
ing hostility, become tho nucleus of a force
w hich w ill play an important part in tho politi
cal future of France.
Tho tactics of MM. Raspail and Rochefort
form not the least portion of tho difficulties
which will beset the new parliamentary expe
riment in Franco. M. Ollivier is evidently
endeavoring to make his ministry a distin
guished example of the coalescing power of
parties. But with leading members of both
Right and Left Centres standing haughtily
aloof, with the seceders from tho Third party
and the liberal minority making common
cause, nnd with the implacable and popular
"irrceoncilables" denouncing the coalition on
behalf of thousands of angry voters out of
doors, it is to be feared that the new minis
ter will find the desire of his life rather
dearly bought. The spirit of mutual con
cession and forbearance by which alone it
parliamentary system can work at all, is but
imperfectly developed among Fronch poli
ticians, and still less so among their consti
tuents. Yet hero wo have but one lof the
many results of that deceitful calm of eight
years, during which the Empire was success
ful abroad and prosperous- at home, but
during which a generation was ripening into
manhood, to whom free institutions were but
a n nil io and self-government a solemn farce.
And so at length, after the elected of eight
millions has been snubbed and outwitted both
in the Old World and the New, and is dis
covered to bo but a fallible man, liko any
other ruler, the very workmen for who3e sake
ho contrived magnificent publio works, and
invented imposing spectacles, turn round and
demand their lost heritage of freedom, and
clamor for the removal of tho man who has
betrayed the hard-earned pmtigc of Franco.
Louis Napoleon may call this ingratitude; a
more discriminating posterity will pronounce
it the just Nemesis of an ambition that
sought to elevate the State above the people,
and to raise itself above them both.
