Will he get it? Will the radicals repudiate the agent of the “Sainted Lincoln ?” - itl Bowen, the negro and eorruption candidate for Mayor of Washington, was beaten on Monday last over three thousand votes by Emery, Conserva- tive. This result adds another to the many hard blows received by the Radieal party within the past two mouths. Bowen was entrenched in office. He had used the revenues of of the corporation lavishly for a twelv- month in feeding negroessand paying them for pretended labor upon the streets and in other. places. Con- gress had assisted him by the appro- priation of the money for local pur- poses, and all the jobbers at the na- tional Capital were enlisted on his gide and In favor of his re election, The negro vote was also nearly a unit in his favor. It had been stimu lated to that point by mdney and oth. er appliances. Now, in the face of all these disadvantages, the white men of Washington defeated Bowen and re deemed the city from the rule and control of negroes and scalawags. This is an important point gained, and henceforth Washington will be a fit res- idence for white men and their fami- lies. The Fifteenth Amendment. Punchinello thus satirizes the bill to enforce the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment under the head of “Con. densed Congress’: In spite of the obstinate silence of Sumner, the Senate has been lively. Its first proc:eding was to pass a bill —an interminable and long drawn bill—ostensibly to enforce the Fif- teenth Amendment, But the title is a little joke. = As no single person can read this bill and live, and as no per- son other than a member of the bar of Philadelphia could understand it, if he survived the reading of it, Punchinello deemed it his daty to havethe bill read by relays of strong men. What is the result? Six of his most valued con- tributors sleep in the valley. But what are their lives to the welfare of the universe, for which he exists. The bill provides, 1. That any person of a darker color than chrome yellow shall hereafter be entitled to vote to any extent at any election, without reference to age, sex, or previous condition, anything any- where to the contrary notwithstand- ing, 2. That any person who says that any such person ought not to vote shall be punished by a fine to the extent of his possessions, and shall be anathe- ma. 3. That any person who shall, with intent to prevent the voting of any such person, strike such. person upon the nose, eye, mouth, or other feature, within one mile of any place of voting, within one week of any day of voting, shall be punished by fine to the extent of twice his possessions, and shall be disentitied to vote forever after. More- over he shall be anathema. 4, That any person who shall ad- vise any other person to question the right of any person of the hue herein before specified to vote, or to do any other act whatsoever, shall be punish: able by fine to the extent of three times his possessions, and shall be anath ema. 5. That all the fines collected under this act shall be expended upon the endowment of “The Society for Secur- ing the Pursuit of Happiness to Amer- ican Citizens of African Descent.” And if any person shall call in ques- tion the justice of such a disposition of such fines, he shall be punishable by fine to the extent of four times his pos- session, and shall be anathema. Mr. Wilson objected to anathema. He said nobody in the Senate but Mr. Sumner knew what it meant. Besides, it was borrowed from the syllabus a degraded superstition. He moved to substitute the simple and inte'ligible expression, “Hebedam.” 4 An amorous swain declares that he is so fond of his girl he has rubbed the skin off his nose by kissing her shadow on the wall. ow Wi - HALL WE Onl, Fetichism and its Belongings — Rooting, Charming, and the An. » gel Band Death. The people of all ages and all eoun- tries of the world have had, and still have, their peculiar superstitions “and their faith in the power of unseen agen. cies orepirits, These invisible powers, according to most of thesystems known man, if he were mighty enough, and could be made to perform miraculous acts, to do’ good or evil as the conjuror might require, and to reveal the secrets of the future as well as those of* the past, The ancient Greeks had their subservient demon, but were far sur- passed in their powers of ineantation by the eastern mations. © Every one | who, as a youth, has read the “Arabi- an Nights’ Entertainments,” knows what wonderful and unheardsof doings the genii and magi were capable of. It was a trifling affair for them to tra- el a thousand miles in the winking of an eye, and the construetion of huge Palaces was no great undertaking. “rom the remotest times of history we are told of good and evil spirits which a it tt do ot wo ———— same, The original practisers of this | form of theurgy were always native " Africans, but they have according to [ the belief of freedmen, and others of { dusky complexion, transmitted and imparted, for money or love, their | powers to their descendants, The pre- | tended or believed conjurers are gon- | erally called obi men or obi women, and are greatly dreaded by the negroes who believe, them to be oracles and apply to them for the cure of disease; to obtain revenge for injories, to pun- ish their enemies, to discover thieves Land other offenders, and to find lost money or goods, Iven the existence and place of residence of an obi man is kept secret, and one must either be of dusky hue or a spy to learn anything of his whereabouts: and after that knowledge is obtained, a sort of free- masonary keeps away the merely cu- rious from his awful presence. The mode oi operations is never the same; different voodooers or obi men, having their particular forms of incantation, But in most éases it consists in the use of a fetich., This is an article manu- factured from any substance that whim or imagination may select, and shaped into a fancied semblance of the human form. Besides the artificial fetiches there are natural ones, such as stones, infest the air or inhabit the earth ; and | the civilization of modern times has | had its roasted witches and drowned | wizards. Gothe’s Faust is built upon | the common belief that man can sell | his soul, and the witches of Macbeth | are represented an concocting a savory | soup for some mischevious purpose. The most ignorant people have the | strongesthelief insupernatural agencies and the greatest fear of unfavorable omens; and among the lowest classes | of white people even now exist specific | and magical cures of disease and inju- | ry. Not ten days since a man in the Isle of Wight having accidentally sev- | ered one of the main arteries of the leg | was taken away from a regular physi- | cian and intrusted to the healing care | of an ignorant person, who was to cure | him by incantation. The effect that such hallueinatious has had upon the | welfare and longevity of the people who have indulged in them can be easi- | ly conjectured by examining the ac- counts of the putting to death of the | lycanthropes in 1599 ; of the executions | of witches in England and Scotland, | and of the fearful judicial condemna- | tions of Salem in thir country. Horst, | in his Dae monomagie, states that more | than 100,000 persons were put to death in the reign of Francis I,, and it is not to be doubted that since the year 1400 at least 500,000 human be- ings have sacrificed their lives on the | altar of superstition. In different peo ples the forms which their supernat- | ural fears and beliefs take are also dif ferant, but the ground work of the whole is the same—the more or less | undeveloped state of the reasoning | faculties. And as the individual cultivated or otherwise, he believes in the potency of signs, charms and omens. The ease which but recently transpired in this city, where one unbleached American accused another of endeay- oring to “root” him by strange and unholy spells, naturally leads one to contemplate the huge proportions which the black art, thaumaturgy, or witchcraft assumes in the fuliginous mind of the progeny of Ham, In the instance just referred to, one child of twilight, who was engaged in the hon- est calling of coanchman, wishing to follow the example of his white fellow citizens and go into the country, enga- ged another of the atramentous per- suasion to act as his substitute in his absence. On returning from the green fields, the victim of necromancy found that his proxy was unwilling to relin- quish the position which he had gained, but rather advised him to make a lon- ger stay in parts bucolic. Daily the supplanted coachman visited the scene of his former employment, and at last unfortunately and unexpectedly came upon his usurper and found him on his knees by the bed in the coach house with a mystic flask in his right hand, from which he sprinkled in awful curves and sweeps an unknown fluid all the time repeating in an unintelli- gible tone a supposed fetich charm. An appeal to the Police Court at Jefferson Market proved of no avail, for our laws are to circumscribed and weak to reach such cases, and one day not long afterwards the wretched victim of diabolical arts yielded up his spirit and departed this life. The excitement of the colored population which fol- lowed was great, and all those having an extra shade to their cheek or curl to their hair declares that nothing but the sacrifice of the charmer can save the friends of the vietim from the same unhappy fate. The Judge, apparently to pacify the excited black crowd, has gince put the charmer under $500 bonds to keep the peace. This cir cumstance only brings forward to no- tice extraordinary power which super- stition has upon the lower orders of mankind. Whether the man in this case did or did not die of fright, is of no consequence ; for there are number- less instances to prove that negroes when they become aware that they are to be “rooted” or that “obi” was set for them generally soon fell ill of terror and almost invariably died of a species of decline. It is probable, however, that in many such instances poison was used to heighten the etiect of the sup- posed enchantment. Obi is an African word and is usually applied to a sort of sorcery not uncommon among nes groes. ‘There are many names applied to this queer magic, such as “rooting,” “yoodooing,” “fetiching,” and so forth, but the practice as far as the negro 1 i i { | { | 18 and mountains, but they are only ven- erated by peculiar sects, and are even then not held in any great estimation, them. The artificial fetiches are either pre- served by the obi men or are purchased one becomes in a certain degree an obi man also. In Ashantee every person who has a regard for his earthly and future welfare has a fetich, and chiefs have numbers of them. In the West [ndiesand theSouthern States the prac. tice of feticism since the introduction negroes has been attended with I'he horrible massacres in St. Domingo would prob- ably never Lave occurred had it not lation. In the forests of the islands thousands of naked negroes nightly assembled to join-in the mystic rites, dron of blood, alligators’ teeth, poison- ous serpents, and strangled babies hearts were set on fire, and when the priest gave the bidding, they rushed to slanghter, and revelled in blood and ravishment. Such was the power that fetichism had over the negro mind, and such the consequences of the monstrous creed, that in 1760 a law was enact- ed in the island of Jamaica making it a criminal offense to practice it; but nevertheless the blood-chilling mur- the cause of the Haytien insurrections is ascribed to the political oppression of the blacks there is no doubt that their rising against the whites was first incited and afterwards encouraged by their conjuring priests, Not a year ago it was stated that this barbarie re- ligion and its ohservances seemed to have taken a fresh hold of the negro mind in the South. Numbers of the colored portion of humanity met in remote and secluded places in the woods, aud there, after reducing them- selves to the ®ondition of Adam before his expulsion from Paradise, indulged in all that was horrid and indecent. At this moment in the swamps and forests of the South are performed the most hideous and strange rites that deviltry can contrive, and the late scene at the Jefferson Market police court admonish us that such obser ances, if not in their original terror, may be, and perhaps, are practiced even in our midst. And when charms fail, will not there be more potent and effective measures employed ? The blacks have yet another strange superstition of religion. They believe in a religious organization, which ap- proaches, if it does not entirely reach, perfection, called the “Angel Band.” The members of this band are under the direction and supervision of wvari- ous mighty ones, whom they believe know all their thoughts and actions, whether they are present or absent. Punishment is prescribed at pleasure by the elect and the criminal receives it without opposition. It isin fact but a methodistical modification of voodootsm and is a trifle modified by a somewhat greater intelligence and a little more information. In any case however when these wild notions of the negroes begin to obtrude upon public notice and to obstruct the reg-: ular performance of the laws and the administration of justice, it is befitting to begin to inquire how far such an in- sanity may take them and what results may follow. reneme SAreeept “A Horrible Affair.

Lagoberon, a notorious handit captain, was so close- ly pursued by a body of troops recent ly that he was compelled to desert his band of brother cut throats, who had been the terror of the whole country round, and take refuge in a cavern situated near the summit of one of the lofty mountains of the Sierra Profun- da, In ihis cavern he had concealed a female captive, whose hushond he had robbed and slain, The soldiers made several ineffectnal attempts to reach abode of the eulprit. Lagober. on, a man of gigantic stature, and herculean strength, sueceeded in beat ing them. off’ by rolling heavy rocks down upon them whenever they ap- proached, The officer in command of the troops resolved at first to starve the bandit out, but after two days’ blockade grew weary of so tedious an expedient, improvised an escaladé of the chieftain’s stronghold and sueced- ed in capturing him. To their horror, upon entering the eavern, they found the poor woman in a dying condition, Lagoberon having cut off one of the breasts of his unfortunate captive and eaten it. The inhuman butcher was conveyed to Talea, where he was condemned to die by the garrote. . He was speedily conducted to the seaffold, and while the executioner was engaged in adjusting his toilette de mort thie ¢on- viet drew a whistle which he had con cealed in bis pocket and blew it sharply; whereupon about sixty of his followers, who had introduced them- selves among the crowd surrounding the scaffold, rushed upen the gen- darmes and massacred them ere they could offer any resistance: They then freed their chief and garroted his would-be executioner, after which they escaped, almost unscathed, to the mountains, facilitating their flight by seizing the horses of the ire gendarmes.

Ata famous and fashionable water- ing place, a gentleman one night was suddenly seized in bed with an exeru- ciating pain in his stomach, which neither brandy, No. 6. nor any other remedy could remove. His wife after trying a number of things in vain, and having exhausted all her stock 6f rem- edies, left her husband's bedside for the purpose of getting a warm applic cation. Guided on her returd by o Ee, a light which she saw shining in a cham- ber, and which she supposed was the one just left, she softly entered ahi was not a little surprised to’ find her patient apparently in a deep slumber. Hawever, thinking he might stili be suffering, she gently raised the bed clothes &e., and laid the sealding poultice upon a stomach—but uot the stomach of her husband—which no sooner touched the body of the person than he, greatly alarmed, and writh- ing under the torture of the bumjng application, shouted: “Halloo! hal” loo! what in the name of heaven and earth are you about there?” then, with one spring from his bed, be made for the door, and, rushing down stairs, de- clared, in a frenzy of excitement, that some one had poured a shovel of hot coals upon him.
