SARITUALIsN.-The extraordinary suit at law
in which an aged widow lady sought TO recover
from Home, the spirtuast, the sum of 100000
and upward alleged to have been got from her
by delusive pretenses, has made a cOmmotion
amongst the foolish people who have petted him
and vaunted his supernatural powers. II he liked
70 enter upon q series Of confessions, what q tale
lie could tell. There was poor Mrs. Trollope, tho
mother of Mr.. AnthsnY and Mr.. T. A. Trollspe /:
who that remembers the strong, coarse compost
ton Of her books would suppose she could ever
believe in a spirituslistl And yet in her dotage
she did. We had heard that Mr.. Home spent six
months in her house at Florence, to the great an
nOyance Of her children. Then there was Mrs.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning. For while she too
Was infatuated by the. Scotchman. Her husband
demonstrated in vain. but in "Sludge the Hedi-
um" he took fierce revenge upon Home himself.
II is idle TO say the truth Of spiritualism is unaf
fected by the scAndalOus story-for he was not
simply teacher Of it, but in England was regarded
as its pTophet.-[LondOn Cor. Boston Advertiser.

taTy Of state, when defeated at Chicago ir 1866
made up bis mind to destroy the Republican
party, TO which end his efforts have been directed
ever since as Andrew johnson abandoned the
friends who elected him, and thenceforWard used
all the powers OF the presidential Office to destroy
them as the chief justice, soured by disappoint-
ment, has sought to create a division in the Re-
publican ranks, and If possible to defeat Gen.
Grant, so Senators Fessenden and Grimes have
united with the common enemy at the most eriGi-
cal moment in the history OF our party and OF our
country, and added their names 70 the catalogue
Of the disappointed. II is usssess to close our
eyes 10 the fact that Chief Justice Chase has per-
sistently sought to divide tie Republican party
and TO defeat the impeachment of the president,
and that in this effort be has been aided by those
senators whose personal and political animosity
towards that sterling patriot, Benz. F. Wade, has
been stronger than their devotion to Ash party

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The VAGRANT LAws.-For the information
of our numerous readers who are not fully
advised as to the present powers of Record
ers in regard to the commitment of Migrants,
we publish the following communication
from Attorney General Belden to Recorder
Gastinel in reply to letter from the latter
;.sking information:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
state OF Louisiana,
New Orleans, August 8, 1853,
Hon. ArthuE Gastinel, Recorder Second District,
City of New orleans
DEAR SIR-In reply to your inquiry as to
whether you have the power as Recorder to
commit Migrants, have to reply that nay
opinion is that you have no such power. In
the act of the General Assembly of 1865 rela-
tive to crimes and offenses, section l22 was
re-enacted by act of the General Assem-
bly, by act approved December 20, 1866.
This tst law, however, was ignored by the
schedule of the constitution of 1868, now
in force You wi / readily see by the repeal
ing clause of the act of 1855, above referred
to- that no other law on the subject of va
grancy remains unrepealed, and as a legal
consequence, the repeal of the law of 1865
by the convention of 1858 without any
other provisions made upon the subject of
vagrancy, leaves you without any authority
of law to c mint.
The repeal of the law of 1865 does not re
vive the law of 1855.
This is an exceedingly unfortunate condi-
ton of affairs for the people Of this great
metropolis, and especially at time of un>
usual pecuniary distress. 1t should be the
first duty of the Legislature to pass such
laws upon the subject as its Importance dc.
mands.
This does not apply to juvenile Migrants
Very respectfully yours,
SIMEON BELDEN,
ATTORNEY General
