SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 11, 1876. SPIRITUALISM. The success with which the Keeler Family performed the usual manifestations at their seance in Kroeger's Hall on Friday night of last week, naturally leads one to inquire whether the so-called spiritual manifestations are the result of the natural dexterity and gift of legerdemain of the performers, or whether they are produced by the assistance of the ghostly inhabitants of another world. The circumstances under which the tests are given, would incline one, with no prejudices either way, to believe in the latter hypothesis. But skeptics must be pardoned for asserting their unbelief in the spiritual agency that is said to produce the phenomena presented at seances. For it must be remembered that precisely the same things are done—and generally a great deal better done—by those who candidly confess they are unaided except by human confederates. It is observable that this class of performers invariably produce the "manifestations," although they permit a closer esploration on their movements than spiritual mediums will tolerate. When the movements of the latter are closely watched by eyes anxious to discover the source from which springs the medium's power, the seance is generally a failure, the medium giving as a reason therefor that the "conditions" are not favorable. These arguments are put forth by disbellevers in spiritual phenomena; and some of those skeptical persons, with a levity highly prehensible, intimate that our friends in that "higher and better world" could be more profitably employed than holding themselves at the back and call of every medium and helping THE Raisin Business. There is not the slightest doubt that the raisin business will, in a few years, be carried on in considerable magnitude in California; and in this part of Los Angeles county there are probably a couple of hundred farmers who are already calculating upon making a business of curing the raisin grape. Many of these farmers, in the very landable effort to eclipse their neighbor, during the past year have made experiments as to the best manner of curing the grape; and the very natural result of these multitudinous experiments will be that in the near future the best method of drying the grape will be ascertained. Besides the numerous patent fruit-dryers, familiar to everyone, many of the grape-growers alluded to have fitted up contrivances for drying the fruit, which contrivances embody some peculiar idea of the owner in regard to the proper mode of making raisins. Some of these dryers have done what was expected of them in a very effectual manner, and the raisins produced have been equal to the best of the imported kind. There are also those who believe in allowing nature to do the work; and it is a fact that sun-dried raisins seem to retain more of the saccharide matter than those which have been subjected to some mechanical process. Sun-drying raisins, however, has received quite a back-set this year, especially in the counties in the northern part of the State. The rains that fell in that portion of the State a couple of weeks ago did immense damage to the raisin crop—or that part of it that was being sun-dried. Before the rains, it was estimated that the crop would amount to 40,000 boxes, but it is now doubtful if the amount will reach 10,000 boxes. The grape most in favor among growers here for raisin purposes, is the Muscat of Alexandria. This variety has been found to contain more desirable properties than any other. CLOSING OF THE EXHIBITION. On to-morrow, the 10th annual Exhibition will take place. On the whole, very great success. The visitors has been large at attendance at any Fairs; the exhibits, both merit, have not proached; and the final said to be in a very adition. The total reception are expected to be borhood of $3,250,000. Will amount to about $1,450,000 among the stockholder try, who took stock, in for speculative as well motives, are certainly a reward, both on a speculative shrewdness patriotism. But, unfounded is a possibility that they diverted from the speculative and patriotic into the capacious mans treasury. It will be re- Congress appropriated in the success of the Exhibition as passed had a clear vided that "the appropriation paid in full into the United States before any percentage of the profit to the holders of stock. Now arises whether this plus shall be used to regressional appropriation will be disbursed to them in the way of dividends highly probable that will be appealed to question. About the only distich which has occurred in the Exhibition, is that the managers and the people generally by M. Chief Centennial Co- the source from which springs the medium's power, the seance is generally a failure, the medium giving as a reason therefor that the "conditions" are not favorable. These arguments are put forth by disbelievers in spiritual phenomena; and some of those skeptical persons, with a levity highly reprohensible, intimate that our friends in that "higher and better world" could be more profitably employed than holding themselves at the back and call of every medium and helping them to an easy livelihood by playing on tambourines, ringing bells, moving chairs, etc. Certainly, if the spirits could be made to manifest the truth of spiritualism in some more sensible and practical way, one of the strongest props in the skeptic's argument would be knocked away. The above remarks were written before the receipt of Mrs. Parker's communication, which will be found elsewhere in to-day's paper. The statement of her experience while in the cabinet, will be found quite interesting. About the only weak point in the narrative (to skeptics, we mean) is where she points out the inevitable result of a failure to remain passive while the spirits are to the fore and the manifestations are being produced. It seems to be necessary for a successful seance that there should be impenetrable darkness and perfect passiveness on the part of those present. Any attempt to investigate matters results in an instant cessation of the manifestations—"the mediums are shocked." PROSPECTS. In a few days hence, the general anxiety as to who will be the head of the nation will be relieved, and in a short time everything will acquire its proper level, and the affairs of the nation will move on in the even tenor of their way. The great questions and problems which agitate the large business interests of the country do not alone affect and influence great cities and maries of trade, but find their way and exert their influences in the smallest towns and villages, and inflate and depress the most insignificant interests. Prior to the decision of a contest of so much magnitude as the Presidential election, the whole business machinery of the nation has seemed to stand still, awaiting, with breathless interest, the solution of the great problem. When it is once settled, and the restless march of progress again begins with renewed life and vigor, we may look for the piteous cry of hard times to cease, and the cheerful prothe State. The rains that fell in that portion of the State a couple of weeks ago did immense damage to the raisin crop—or that part of it that was being sun-dried. Before the rains, it was estimated that the crop would amount to 40,000 boxes, but it is now doubtful if the amount will reach 10,000 boxes. The grape most in favor among growers here for raisin purposes, is the Muscat of Alexandria. This variety has been found to contain more desirable properties than any other. This experience, we believe, does not tally with that of grape growers in the northern counties, they having found that the Muscatel—a variety distinct from the Muscat of Alexandria, though having a name somewhat similar—grows better in that section and produces a finer raisin. This raisin-making is an industry, the pursuit of which should be encouraged in every possible way. Not only is it a pleasant business to be engaged in, but it is a profitable one as well. The San Francisco Bulletin says that a good article of layer raisins will net the producer $2 per box in the markets of that city. The same paper, in comparing the profits arising from twenty acres of raisins and twenty acres of wheat, estimates the income from the former at $8,000 and the latter at $800. On twenty acres four thousand boxes of raisins can be raised, which, at $2 per box, will bring to the producer $8,000 for the crop. Out of this comes the expenses of curling, boxes, etc. Twenty acres of wheat will produce about 400 centals, which, at two cents per pound, would amount to $800. Out of this comes the cost of plowing, seeding, seed, reaping, threshing, sacks, etc.—in fact the expense of preparing raisins for market will amount to no more than the cost of harvesting wheat. THE ELECTION. The returns received at the Gazette office up to a late hour last night, indicate that the claim of a Democratic victory is premature, and that the vote is so very close that the result will certainly not be definitely ascertained for a day or two. The Democrats concede Hayes' election if the States of Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin and Oregon have gone Republican, and the latest intelligence from those States indicates that the Republicans have swept them all; the returns, however, are contradictory in that respect. But even with these States the election of Hayes is claimed by only one electoral vote, so plus shall be used to regressional appropriation will be disbursed to them in the way of dividends highly probable will be appealed to question. About the only dissection which has occurred in the Exhibition, is that the managers and the ple generally by M. Chief Centennial Council France. Our readers see the letter written by friend in Germany, which were published Figaro. In this outreach charged Americans will build containing French goods; thus boosting articles for exhibiting galleries. He changes with being thieves, and the Judges and Commissioners in the plunder. His life vile attack on the victim women. It is greatly condemned as untrue Du Sommerard; and Talleyrand has written garo; the paper in which appeared flatly concludes allegation of the offence paying a flattering trump can. But there must be where there is so much perhaps the key to this letter will be found in interview between a Mail reporter and Captain official representative Exhibition. Captain that in various traps the letter alluded to hooded, original meaning and that it lost none characteristics by belief by the editors of Figaro sensational sheet. He much of the letter is gallant Captain; how great indignation at cases of rank injustice hands of the officers stationed especially from pertinent members of corps; from insolent criminals and from other Exhibition. In fact, the Exhibition was said that not a single would ever come to question in this country. towns and villages, and inflate and depress the most insignificant interests. Prior to the decision of a contest of so much magnitude as the Presidential election, the whole business machinery of the nation has seemed to stand still, awaiting, with breathless interest, the solution of the great problem. When it is once settled, and the restless march of progress again begins with renewed life and vigor, we may look for the piteous cry of hard times to cease, and the cheerful prospect of prosperity to be once again before our eyes. To California, the closing of the Centennial Exhibition will exert a beneficial influence in the way of turning many new settlers, with their capital and industry, to this State to assist in augmenting our prosperity. This immediate section will be more especially benefited, as the attention of the whole world is being directed to Southern California. Its healthful climate, its prolific soil and superior advantages, have become widely known and realized everywhere. Within the last few months we have received accessories to our population from the most remote portions of Europe. We have heard it stated that Southern California had been over-painted, and its resources and capabilities over-estimated. It seems to us that it would be impossible to overrate the capabilities of Southern California. The soil has so far proved itself able to meet and satisfy every demand which has been made upon it, and the results of experiments have been marvellous in their success. We have resources yet untouched, and when the increase of population shall demand their development, we have no doubt that the result will be a marvelous increase in our wealth and prosperity. It is understood that the Mt. Vernon Association is now out of debt and has a surplus on hand. The Centennial travel to the tomb of Washington brought about this very gratifying result. The disclosures in regard to that dread organization known as Molly Maguires, are becoming painfully interesting, as they involve persons of the highest stations in life and of hitherto irreproachable character. A recent confession by a former member of the murderous Mollires has created a widespread sensation in Pennsylvania. The informer says that the votes of the Mollires were purchased at the last election for Governor Hartranft, and that the money therefor was paid by Captain John C. Delaney, the Governor's private secretary. The people of the State are calling upon the Governor to refute this very serious accusation. CLOSING OF THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. On to-morrow the 10th last, the Centennial Exhibition will be a thing of the past. On the whole, it has been a very great success. The number of visitors has been largely in excess of the attendance at any previous World's Fairs; the exhibits, both in quantity and merit, have never been approached; and the financial affairs are said to be in a very satisfactory condition. The total receipts of the Exhibition are expected to be in the neighborhood of $3,250,000. The expenses will amount to about $1,800,000, which will leave $1,450,000 for distribution among the stockholders. These gentry, who took stock in the enterprise for speculative as well as patriotic motives, are certainly entitled to reap a reward, both on account of their speculative shrewdness and their patriotism. But, unfortunately, there is a possibility that the surplus will be diverted from the pockets of the speculative and patriotic stockholders into the capacious maw of Uncle Sam's treasury. It will be remembered that Congress appropriated $1,500,000 to aid in the success of the Exhibition. The bill as passed had a clause which provided that "the appropriation shall be paid in full into the treasury of the United States before any dividend or percentage of the profits shall be paid to the holders of stock." The question now arises whether the $1,450,000 surplus shall be used to refund the Congressional appropriation, or whether it will be disbursed to the stockholders in the way of dividends. It is considered highly probable that the Courts will be appealed to, to solve the question. About the only disagreeable event which has occurred in connection with the Exhibition, is the late assault on the managers and the American people generally by M. Du Sommerard, Chief Centennial Commissioner of not stop, nor were the carpenters thrown out of work. Within the last few months many elegant dwelling houses have been completed, and the vines are rapidly being rooted out from the vineyards on the principal streets to make room for tasty and substantial buildings. A very few years will suffice to fill all the vacant spots, at the rate at which we are now progressing. Those who rarely ever ride through the town save along the principal streets have no idea of the advancement which has been made in Anaheim during the last few months. RAININ VINEYARD. Apropos of our remarks upon the raisin business, in another column, we find in an exchange a description of what is called the "Model Vineyard," of the California Raisin Company, in Placer county. The company consists of San Francisco capitalists. They have 225 acres of land in the above named county, surrounded by a rabbit-proof fence. The vines were planted two years ago. They are of the variety known as the White Muscat of Alexandria. They are laid out in rows eight feet apart, with roadways of greater width at short intervals. About twenty acres of the tract is reserved for drying ground, in patches of about one acre each, advantage being taken of every knoll with a sunny exposure. The drying grounds will be prepared after the plan pursued in Spain. The grounds are to be subdivided into compartments of perhaps eight by sixteen feet, each to be surrounded by an adobe wall about two feet high the floor to be prepared and made smooth with adobe, and each compartment covered with a canvas drawn over at night. The adobe will thus retain the heat of the sun during the day and by covering it up the heat will be longer retained and the raisins continue drying through the night. The company will commence to make raisins next year, and the result of BY TELEGRAPH ELECTION RETURNS SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE. ALTA, Cal.; Nov. 7. Hayes 66, Tilden 48.

STOCKTON, Nov. 7. plus shall be used to refund the Congressional appropriation, or whether it will be disbursed to the stockholders in the way of dividends. It is considered highly probable that the Courts will be appealed to, to solve the question. About the only disagreeable event which has occurred in connection with the Exhibition, is the late assault on the managers and the American people generally by M. Du Sommerard, Chief Centennial Commissioner of France. Our readers will remember the letter written by him to a friend in Germany, extracts from which were published in the Paris Figaro. In this outrageous epistle he charged Americans with firing the building containing the cases of French goods, thus hoping to destroy the articles for exhibition stored in the galleries. He charged the keepers with being thieves, and intimated that the Judges and Commissioners shared in the plunder. His letter closed with a vile attack on the virtue of American women. It is gratifying to know that nearly every prominent French citizen, and all the exhibitors, have condemned as untrue the foul libel of Du Sommerard; and the Marquis de Talleyrand has written a letter to Figaro, the paper in which the libel first appeared, flatly contradicting every allegation of the offensive letter, and paying a flattering tribute to Americans. But there must be some fire where there is so much smoke, and perhaps the key to the Frenchman's letter will be found in the report of an interview between a New York Herald reporter and Captain Augfrye, the official representative of France at the Exhibition. Captain Augfrye claims that in the various translations which the letter alluded to has been subjected, the original meaning was distorted, and that it lost none of its sensational characteristics by being manipulated by the editors of Figaro, a notoriously sensational sheet. He also claims that much of the letter is a forgery. The gallant Captain, however, displayed great indignation at, and recited many cases of, rank injustice received at the hands of the officers of the Exhibition, especially from thieving and impertinent members of the Centennial corps, from insolent custom house officials and from other persons at the Exhibition. In fact, he rejoiced that the Exhibition was nearly over, and said that not a single French exhibitor would ever come to a future exhibition in this country. It would be haps eight by sixteen feet, each to be surrounded by an adobe wall about two feet high the floor to be prepared and made smooth with adobe, and each compartment covered with a canvas drawn over at night. The adobe will thus retain the heat of the sun during the day and by covering it up the heat will be longer retained and the rains continue drying through the night. The company will commence to make rains next year, and the result of their labors will be watched with interest. CHICAGO, Nov. 7. A committee of twelve citizens yesterday presented a petition of 8,000 business men in Chicago asking Judge McAllister to resign on account of his conduct in the recent Sullivan-Sanford murder trial. After the chairman had made his address presenting it, the Judge remarked: "Leave it with the Clerk; it is a matter to go on file. I have nothing to say," and dismissed the matter. It is not expected here that he will comply with the request. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The Commissioner of the General Land office to-day issued a patent for the Jamesuel Ranch, embracing two square leagues, in San Diego county. Henry H. Burton, Maria Burton and Nellie Burton are the confirmees, and it also issued a patent for the Rancho Pedra Blanca, comprising 48,805 acres, in San Luis Obispo county; Jose de Jesus Pico, confirmee. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 8. A most dastarily attempt was made last night to steal the bones of President Lincoln from the cemetery vault here. The plot was suspected some time since by Elmir Washburn, United States Dective, and assistants. The scoundrels broke the outer door, also the inner door of the vault, opened several cases of the sarcophagus, and were about to make off with the remains. When the detectives sprang out. The accidental discharge of a pistol alarmed the robbers and they fled precipitately, and, keeping in the darkness, escaped. A slight clue of their identity remains, and their capture is possible. The San Francisco Call says: Complaints have been received for some time past of a leak somewhere on the Southern mail route between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Letters containing gold notes and other valuables, mailed at Los Angeles for Oakland and San Francisco, have never reached their destination, and the thefts are said to be of long standing. On Tuesday night George Ulyett, a section boss on the Central Pacific Railroad, eloped with a married woman named Mrs. Asher, who lives at the Big Meadows, twelve miles west of this station. Her son, sixteen years of age, accompanied them. It is supposed they struck across the country, as three horses are missing.

In fact, he rejoiced that the Exhibition was nearly over, and said that not a single French exhibitor would ever come to a future exhibition in this country. It would be strange, indeed, if among the multitude of employees there should not be found those whose brief authority tended to make them insolent; and probably the Frenchman's strictures in regard to the thieving propensities of the Centennial corps may have had some foundation.

From the Daily of Thursday. The San Francisco Alta tells the following story, which is both affecting and fishy: The many friends of Mr. George Treat have learned of the sad bereavement which befell him in the death of his daughter, a bright young lady, sixteen years of age. While on her death-bed her physician, who was a Democrat, urged upon Miss Treat to take some medicine which he had prescribed for her. For some time she declined to heed the doctor's advice, and finally raised herself in bed, she said, "Doctor, I will take the medicine if you will promise me to vote for Hayes and Wheeler." The physician made the promise to his patient, who expired a few hours afterward. The Doctor since then has related the incident to many of his personal friends and made not a few voters for Hayes and Wheeler. M. T. Bailey, one of the oldest provision brokers in Cincinnati, died on Tuesday, soon after dinner from the effects of a dose of cyanite of potash, which had been substituted for prussiate of potassium by the druggist preparing the prescription. He was 72 years of age, and the father of Davis H. Bailey, present U.S. Consul at Hongkong. In the matter of the application of Mrs. Balva A. Lockwood for admission to practice as attorney and counselor in the Supreme Court at Washington, the Chief-Justice announces as the decision of the Court that none but men are admitted to practice before it as attorneys and counsellors.

The Democrats are apparently disheartened here, and the Express intimates a fear that Florida is to be fraudulently counted Republican. The danger is entirely the other way, and specific reasons are known to exist for the Republican fears of frauds. Governor Stearns of Florida, telegraphs to a friend here that the Republicans carry the State. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. The Times sees only that Mr. Hayes is elected President, and commenting says: "Bad the power horetofore trusted to the Republican party been wisely used, had its exercise been uniformly delegated to honest and able men, neither the shoqum policy nor the corruption of the franchise could have reduced the party to the narrow history of Tuesday. The lesson of the election will be thrown away if it be not accepted, in part at least, as a rebuke to the selfishness and the greed which have been allowed to disgrace the Republican name, and if it be not used as a means of purifying the party from the influences which have tarnished its record and blurred its public memory and the impression of its great services and noble aspirations." NEW YORK, Nov. 9. The Herald editorially says: According to the latest and most trustworthy returns, Nevada, California, Oregon and Wisconsin have given their electoral votes for the Republican candidate, and Mr. Tilden's only chance for an election depends either on Louisiana or South Carolina. The antecedent probability was that South Carolina would go Republican, and there is as yet nothing in the authentic news to contradict that proposition. If South Carolina does not Tilden has telegraphed, at 9 A.M., to Mayor Bryant that he is elected. An impromptu procession has been formed and is now parading the streets, cheering for Tilden. 2:05 P. M.—Later dispatches this morning place Tilden's election in doubt. If Florida, Louisiana and Wisconsin go Republican, Hayes is elected. Great excitement prevails here.

Democrats claim the State by a good majority. Louisiana, doubtful. Florida, Democratic by 2,000 majority. CHICAGO, Nov. 8. A special to the Tribune from Washington says that the Republican National Committee telegrambed from New York, claiming New York State by 2900. Also, that Florida is Republican. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The greatest anxiety is manifested NEW YORK, Nov. 9. The Herald editorially says: According to the latest and most trustworthy returns, Nevada, California, Oregon and Wisconsin have given their electoral votes for the Republican candidate, and Mr. Tilden's only chance for an election depends either on Louisiana or South Carolina. The antecedent probability was that South Carolina would go Republican, and there is as yet nothing in the authentic news to contradict that proposition. If South Carolina does not support Hayes, its vote will be doubtful, and the Republican canvassing officers will easily find reasons or pretexts for counting Tilden out. His chances, as things now look, are narrowed down to his getting the electoral votes of Louisiana. Both parties claim the State, and when the Presidential election is failed to depend upon the electoral votes of one State, a temptation is presented which the ordinary frall virtue of political parties cannot be expected to resist. The country must accept the official action of State authorities till it is demonstrated to be wrong, and the only body entitled to pass on the sufficiency of the demonstration is a Congress, of which one branch is controlled by the Republicans and the other by the Democrats, and which cannot be expected to agree on a question which so profoundly affects party interests. It is to be deplored that there is a possibility of dangerous differences arising between them. If as a dispatch received at a very late hour seems to indicate, Florida has gone Republican, this grave danger will be obviated; but the situation is so critical that it will cause anxiety in all minds, and we think the public tranquility is more important than the loss of either candidate. Assuming that Florida has certainly voted the Democratic electoral ticket, there is no danger that the vote of that State will be rejected or changed by foundulent contrivances, for the election machinery of Florida is in the hands of lowest men, who are the friends of Governor Tilden. On the whole, we are no cause to doubt that Gov. Tilden has been elected to the Presidency by the people. A few days will be needed to determine his precise majority.
