SPIRITUAL RAPpING. In the House Of RepIesen-
tatives OF Massachusetts, on the l,7th ultimo. an
order was submitted directing the Committee on
Education to inquire into the expediency Of pro-
yiding legal restraints against the mischief now
perpetrated by the niunnery known as Spirit
ual Rapping." 1t may appear to some people be-
meath the dignity OF legislative functions, (says
the Boston Courier) TO bestow attention upon a
folly so despicable as the charatancy in question;
yet when folly becomes the instrument and cham
mel of grave mischief, we see not why the law
should hesitate to interfere. Ii this pernicious
toolery of spiritual rapping' cannot be prosecut-
ed as common nuisance-as it richly deserves
to be-or if the knaves who carry on the trade
cannot be indc.ed for obtaining money on false
pretences, it certainly does seem necessary to
provide legal protection against this new
form of knavery and imposture. No fact Is clear
er to the understanding of all men of common
sense, who have taken pains to bestow the least
attention upon the proceedings of these ~rappers,"
than that they composed OF two classes OF
people, ameiy-impostors who cheat and dupes
who are cheated. This is a shorthand history of
the whole concern. We have laws to punish
gambling. ard laws which assign the House of
Correction to 'persons who use any Juggling. =
Now the vile quackery in question is gambling
and Juggling at the same time, and both of the
very worst sort. If the evil cannot be reached
by>existing laws, it is enough to cali for
new enactment
