NJ SPIRITUALIsM.-On our first page
will be found long and interesting inter-
view between Judge Edmunds Of New York
and one Of the Reporters OF the New York
Herald. We have ourselves, no faith in
the mysterious doctrines of these spiritual
lists. But as the subject has caused consid-
cradle excitement and discussion through
out the Union, we thought our readers
might be interested IN the peruSal OF full
expose from head quarters and by one oI
the most distinguished of the spiritualists
There is no question that many distinguish
ed individuals have been Influenced BY
these mysterious knockings, who are un'
willing 10 acknowledge the fact to tn,
world. But that the whole thing is de,
lusion there can be no question.
The New York Times denounces Judge
Edmund's Book, as vile imposiure which
ought to be Perceptible to the most ordina.
ry mind.
The idea of evil or lying spirits, is inge.
nious. 1t will enable the rappsrs to shiO
the responsibility Of errors upon those evi
spiri.s.
