Many inonths ago we gare an expose in tlie JtNCTtoN of the swindle which, was deluding many foolish persons under tht name of spirit photography. A big business was transacted by a New York humbug, by combining with the likeness of a living subject, a shadowy picture claimed as the photograph of a deceased friend. The fraud was perpe trated by u&ing a glass plate for the gitter's likeness, on which a negative had previously been taken and only partially obliterated, the chemicals used for tha new photograph bringing out in a ghostly form the partially destroyed picture. The killer performed the duties of his office faithfully, a large number of "spirituary"-miidepersons were deluded into the belief that they had obtained veritable photographs of spirit friends, who had visited the artist's studio to take a peep at their relatives in the flesh. The stamps who traded on the follies and credulity of sensitive women and men, ought to have iuflueuce than his law. Pisrrepont, the new man, had a fair reputation, but his first important decision does the hand up to the name not keep point on his official weather glass. A singular caso was submitted to him. His couclusion was no less singular than the case. Here is the case: A Prussian, A. Steinkauler by this country in of the United aeitizen 1848, became name, who came to States, riceiving his full papers in 1854. A year after a son was born to him. When the boy was four years old both went to Germany, and they have since resided at Wies baden. The boy, born in America, his father a naturalized citizen, now twenty yaars of age, is required not-havi- d to perform military duty as a subject of the German Emperor. He ap peals to the American minister as a born citizwn of this Republic, and claims the protection of his government, and the matter is finally referred to the U. S. Attorney General. Here is his decision: toft-heade- It is bee'n punished fur thu swindle. "The father returning to Germany an old saying, "they do Unse things and resuming his allegiance, the sou And to prove better iu France." of tie status of his father, ' . the truth of the adage, three traders upon the credulity of mankind have lately beeu convicted of swiudling, before the Correctional Tribunal f Paris, aud two of them sentenced to a year's imprisonment, and the other to six months, for engaging in the 4,spirit photograph" business. The two culprits, Buguet and Leymarie, reFrenchmen, and the third, Fir man, is an American. It is needless to say that the American was the promoter of the scheme, who put the 1 frenchmen up to the dodge working the feelings and imagination of nj Kn per.

Leymarie, the editor of a spiritist paper, kept np th e excitement and fanned the flame of credulity with puffi about the wonderful spirit photographer and medium, Buguet. And Firman, sly dog, laid foack and took his share of the spoil. The whole fraud was exposed, and the Buguet ''spirit box," with the collection f " pictures with which he duped his patrons, was exhibited in court. mong the deluded people who paid large sums of money for likenesses of the dead, were several noblemen And soci- persons ef rank and position in ' etj, and th amounts charged ranged from twenty to as high as four thousand francs. Strang to say and here is t grand distinction between tha French and American administration of justice ' the ..police alone burst up the swindle and brought the guilty to justiter In this country, if no complaint was made by a victim, the might continue their nefarious practices without the slightest ftar of punishment. Notwithstanding these exposures, and the light which has so frequently been turned on the dark doings of the spiritist humbugs, a heavy trade is still transacted by these travelling frauds, male and female, and, fools and their money, as in all ages, are easily partdL And so it will be, no doubt, in spite of all that can be said or written for tbair especial warnpic-tu- - vio-timix- ing t&d benef re partakes being a minor, and having enjoyed the protection of the German govern ment for the time being, or till of age, owes military duty to that country, obligation being reciprocal; but when the boy becomes of age he can return to the United States as a w;th all his rights and privileges as such, and would be eligible even to the Presidency of the United States." Steinkauler by his residence in Germany, abandoned his naturalization, and is a German subject. .The son has two nationalities, one natural and the other acquired. Here is international law with a vengeance. Two nationalties! How's that for plurality ? This double allegiance looks to us like double-ditilled nonsense. being twen old and a minor, young ty years Steinkauler must serve in the Ger mas army as a Geriuaa citizen; to morrow, or when he reaches his ma jority, he is an American citizen and When may run for the Presidency. he is enrolled in the ranks of the Prussian soldiery, how is he to get out again?

Under such a decision as this, what protection has any American citizen in a foreign country, if sick ness or business or- any other cause prevents his speedy return? Pierre pont has got his name up, but his reputation will not be of a very elevated character, if his first important decision is any indication of his future enunciations of law and logic - Correction.

We learn from the Utah County Times that on the afiereoon of the 5th inst a party of ladies end gentlemtn while partaking of a luncheon in the pleasure gardens of Father firaes, at Trovo, were annoyed by a party of yoHRg men and boy, who teemed to be under the influence of liquor, one, more boisterous than his companions, "after uttering some insulting language, seiied a bottle of pickles from the table and threatened to clean out the party, whereupon one of the gentlemen got up from the table aad took the pickles from him and asked him to pass on and mind his own business, but he commenced swearing and showedfigbt. Mr. McEwan who bad previously taken a few drinks with but which would seme friends, had it noticed not have been occurrence for this been not became eicited, and got np to resent the insult, but friends interfering, and the man being taken drunken youpg down. But after affair the quieted away ... a enori lime lue same rowuies reiurneu,J and again commenced abusing and in sulting the party, and the young nan before mentioned said te came for a fight, hearing which, Mr. McEwan jumped up, palled off his coat, and re marking that be had had enough ot that kind of talk, started for the one who made the threats, but some of the gen tlemen present, to prefect any disturb ance, again interfered, and the young man was finally taken out of the grounds, but there was not a single blew struck." The party broke up peaceably, and no further notice was taken of the affair until the 8th inst., wheu warrants were issued by Alderman A. Jenes for the arrest of the Editor and Business Mana ger of the Times, charging them with being "drunk and endangering the peace of the community on the 6th inst." Af ler aa investigation Mr McEwan was fined five dollars, and Mr. Sleater was discharged. The evidence against Mr. McEwan seemed to be very cent radio tory, and there was not a particle of proof against Mr. Sleater. The prosecution of these gentleman appears to be the result of a grudge that has been laid up against them by some.1 body. From Deseret the Condensations.
