Who Art Competent Witnesses f
Truss. U a bill pendiug in the State LogUU
tmre at the present time whioh ia ho important
In Its Terj-day application that we caonot
bat dlreot public attention to 1U provisions.
It U not a private bill, on the private oalendar,
and will not, we fear, receive that examina.
Uon which lw merits demand. The bill pro
poees to enlarge the rule of evldenoe In Penn
sylvania, and to make all parties in Interest
oapable of testifying in all matters in whioh
the are oonoerned. We have already referred
to the statute, and would again urge its
passage. A careful Inspection of the Intention
of snoh a law will convinoe all of its
paramount importance. The old law f orb vie
any one being examined on the stand as a
witness In any civil suit, if he was in any way,
either direotly or remotely, Interested in its
deolslon. It forbade even those who did not
appear on the reoord, but had an equitable
interest In the result, to have any question
put to them. But the necessities of numerous
oases, and the evident absurdity of shutting off
from the jury the faota whioh might be
known only to those exoluded, led to
a modification, and it is now muoh more re
stricted even in Pennsylvania. Any slacking
Of the law aoon showed the mistaken nature
of the former rule. It was' found by experi
ence that it was safer and more reasonable to
leare all the facts to the jury, after having
them laid before them, and let them judge of
the value to be attached to any particular part
of the evidence, than it was to keep from
them the statements of those interested. In
other words, let all testify, and let the jury
judge of their credibility The oonsequenoe
was the paasage of an act of Parliament in
Great Britain, cancelling all ineligibility to
testify from these grounds, and admitting
both plaintiff and defendant to the witness
stand. Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and
many other States followed suit, and the United
States Courts also adopted the new rule, so
that to-day, in a majority of the States,
and in all the United States Courts, the evi
dence of both plaintiff and defendant is ad
mitted. Pennsylvania, however, has hell out
In opposition, and adheres to the old rule.
True it is that a son can testify for a father,
a brother for a brother, and a dear friend
for his friend. The credibility of 8 a oh is left
to the jury, but a partner cannot testify for a
partner. Is it not reasonable to supppse that
the influence of paternal affaotion is as strong
a tendenoy to bias a witness as any pecuniary
consideration ? If the witness is presumed to
be BO far prejudiced in one case as to be ex
eluded, why should he be admitted in the
other f The truth is that the jury can gene
rally judge pretty correctly as to the value to
be attached to a witness, and they can do so
muoh more clearly than any rule of evidence
can. . The surest way to seoure justice is to
allow all the light possible in the oase in dis
pute, to let both parties tell their own story,
to let the jury see the motive and the
faota whioh led to the transaction, and
to let them deolde aooording to their oaths.
There ia oertainly an element of the ridiculous
in a man being admissible as a witness on one
side of Fifth street, and ineligible on the other
side. Over the Post Office all oan testify;
over in the State Bouse the same man is ex
oluded. ' We think it time for the Legislature
' to do away with thia absurd discrimination.
Let as not continue behind all the other Com-
" monwealtha in what ia a reasonable advanoe
. ment in the right direction. To do so is to
subjeot ourselves to the charge of fossllUm,
whioh ia too appropriate. A large number of
the Bar and of tne Baneh, as well as an almost
unanimous sentiment on the part of the mer
cantile world, call for such an advanoe, and
we hope that the bill now pending somewhere
' at Barrisburg will speedily beoome part of
, the law of Pennsylvania.
A" 8piot akd Spirited Debatb ooourred
in the House of Representatives on Satur
day on a motion to oonour in the Senate
amendment to the Appropriation bill, by
whioh nearly four millions of dollars would
'be added to the expenditures of the next fis
cal year, and from seven to twelve millions
of dollars annually tot the next twenty years
for the purpose of complying with the stipu-
latlons made by the roving commission whioh
liia recently necotiated treaties with the
various tribes of Indians. Mr. Soofield de
olared that the amendments "involved the
' anflt villainy." Mr. Garfield oontended
that the whole policy npon whioh these trea
ties wen based was ridioulous, and that "he
never would vote a dollar that was to be ex
pended through the filthy channels of the
Indian Bureau;" and Mr. Logan alleged that
. h ahonld like to see Mr. Mix, the Chief
Clerk of the Indian Bareau, mounted on a
hich horse, under the lead of the gentleman
from Minnesota (Mr. Windom), with lasso in
hand, chaaing the fourteen-year old Indian
bucks to put breeohes on them. What a
beautiful sight, too, it would be to see a
Camanoh walking with a stove pipe hat on
Lis head before be got his breeohes on !"
These saroastio comments on the praotloal
results of Jndian diplomacy naturally exoited
i the ire of the defenders of the Indian Bareau,
and Mr. Windom suggested that "when they
got up a caravan on the plains, the gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. Logan) should accompany
it as a clown," to which the retort was quickly
made that as the gentleman (Mr. Windom)
will not be in the next C ingress, his servloes
as a jester "oan be got cheap."
It ia evident, from the feeling displayed,
that a sharp battle is to be fought for the in
orease of the bounties whioh have enrlohel
the favorites of the Indtan Bareau, anl if the
Senate proposition prevails . the Amerioau
people will probably be oompelled to foot a
bill, during the next twenty years, amounting
in the aggregate to several hundred millions
of dollars.
Tli AdnlteriUlon of Dms; and St e d.
A fkw days ego, fn referring to the sosndaloui
manner in which the pnblio interests are
neglected at Ilarrisburg, while our legislators
devote their whole time and attention to
schemes for private emolument, attention was
calltd to the (act that little or nothing is
heard about any measures to proteot the com
munity from adulterated drags and medloines.
Mr. John I. Rogers, of this city, who baa
charge of a bill in the House of Representa
tives designed to remedy the evils spoken of,
informs ns that, at the request of the Medioal
Society, he introduoed a bill, prorldiog,
among other things, for the appointment of a
Drug Inspector. The Judioiary Committee,
however, being tired of bills creating inspec
torships of nearly everything, deoliued tooon
sider it, and the bill was in a fair way to be
killed, but for the urgent request of Mr.
Rogers, who undertook to prepare a substi
tute which would be acceptable to the com
mittee. A new bill was aooordingly drafted
after further consultation with the Medioal
Society, and was reported to the House by
Mr. Rogers. The bill provides that it shall
be a misdemeanor, with a penalty not exceed
ing one thousand dollars and the costs of
prosecution, for any one to adulterate drugs
or medloines, or to sell or use them in the
manufacture of medioinal preparations. To
obviate the neoesslty for an Inspeotor of
Drugs, it is provided that any resident physi
cian, being a graduate of medieine and phar
macy, may complain under oath or affirma
tion, before any alderman or justice of the
peaoe, that there are reasonable grounds for
belief that impure drugs are being sold, and
on such complaint a searoh warrant shall issue,
and in oase of conviction the impure, inert, or
adulterated drugs or medicinal preparations
shall be destroyed by order of the oourt.
A further delay was caused by the refer
enoe of the bill to the committee again at the
request of the Drug Exchange for farther
amendment, prohibiting any but graduates of
pharmacy from selling or mixing drugs. We
are happy to think that Mr. Rogers is exert
ing himself for the publio good at Uarrisbnrg
in this particular matter, and we willingly
give him all due credit for his efforts in behalf
of a suitable Drug bill. It is a little singular,
however, that, while the Legislature appears
to have no hesitation about oreating inspec
torships of "nearly everything," that there
should be a difficulty about a matter of this
kind, the necessity of which is everywhere
acknowledged outside of the legislative halls.
Mr. Rogers' explanation, while it is satisfac
tory so far as he himself is oonoerned, does not
relieve the other members of the Legislature
from censure. A bill almost identioal with
the one introduoed in the House was killed in
the Senate, and it is very doubtful whether
the one submitted by Mr. Rogers will pass.
The Legislature has too many "jobs" on hand
to give much time and attention to matters of
this kind, that "have nothing in them." If
the members ot the Legislature had felt the
slightest interest in the enactment of a law
for securing the publio against the injurious
effeots of adulterated drugs, a satisfactory
measure could have been perfected and
paseed through both houses long ago. Mr.
Rogers is one of the youngest members of the
House of Representatives, he has his repu
tation yet to make, and we hope that he .will
push this matter to the utmost; and if he can
secure the passage of his bill he will be en
titled to the thanks of the community. The
additional section prohibiting any but gradu
ates of pharmaoy from selling or mixing
drugs is a good one, and ought to receive the
favorable consideration of the Legislature.
Kansas, on whose soil the opening battles of
the great confliot between slavery and freedom
were fought, has been the first to ratify the
proposed amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion prohibiting any State from denying or
abridging the right to vote by reason of race
or color. The vote in the upper house of the
State Legislature was unanimous, and it was
almost so in the lower house, as well. There
is a peculiar appropriateness in this. The
Border Ruffians of Missouri did what they
could to seoure Kansas to the cause of human
bondage, and now she is the first State to ratify
the amendment whioh puts the finishing
touches on the tombstone of the "peculiar in
stitution."

ton of an exceedingly nervous disposition. On
Saturday the unfortunate man was thrown
into a perfect paroxysm by listening to the
speech of the ebony-hued Menard on the floor
of the House of Representatives. "The soene,"
says the Age man, "was disgusting in the
extreme, and ought to consign those who
brought it about to eternal disgraoe and in
famy." We fear the poor fellow will be stlU
more disgusted before he dies, unless he emi
grates. Thb Lower Bbakce of the State Legislature
recently bad under consideration a bill legal
izing special contracts for Interest at various
rates above six per cent. A measure of this
kind should undoubtedly be adopted. No
fact is better known than that the value of
money is constantly fluctuating, and it is as
absurd to persist in maintaining the notion
that it never legally rises above six per cent.,
as it would be to attempt to regulate by law
the market prioe of any other oommodtty, and
to deolde what the farmer eheuld charge for
bis butler or the merohant for his dry good.

A Nlnjrnlnr Airlr.
Os Thursday the Jaryin the ewe of Simuel
Uolt, charged with the murder of KJard
Byrnes, brought in a verdict of not guilty, on
the ground that the pistol whioh was hauded
to them a the one with which the deed was
oomroitted was found to be broken. Toe
pistol was one wl.h a revolving barrel, con
taining three chamber, and was self-oookiog.
The barrel was fastened to the stock by a
rod of iron that oonneoed with the
machinery of the trigger, and caused the
barrel to revolve. Ou examination the frao
tore presented the appearance of a clean new
break, and a Pprlug projecting from the
stock against the barrel preveuted the two
parts from remaining together without the aid
of the rod. The pistol had been prodaoed in
Court at the former trial of Holt for the mur
der of ChrUtopher Byrnes. It had been re.
peatedly bandied by both the present and the
fotmer District Attorney and the prisoner's
counsel, and no evidenoes of fraoture were
discovered until it came into the Lauds of the
Jury.
Taking it all in all, this is a very remark
able affair, and it shows the importauoe of
the Court keeping the oontrol of all the arti
cles whioh may be offered as evldenoe In
such oases as this. Darlog the Twitohell
trial, the counsel for the prisoner tried very
hard to get possession of the blood-stained
garments which were the mute witnesses of
the murder of Mrs. Hill, and the Court very
properly refused to allow them to go out of
its possession, or to be handled in suoh a
manner as to throw suspiolon on them. The
breakage of .the pistol in the Byrnes homi
cide case and the acquittal of Holt are olr
cumBtanoes that will not oause the commu
nity to feel satisfied that matters oonneoted
with the trial were conduoted altogether as
they ought to have been.

OBITUARY.
John Krlrsaon.
On Thursday last John Ericsson, the cele
brated Inventor and engineer, died at Richland,
New York, from hydrophobia, caused by the
bite of a dog several months ago.
John Ericsson was born in 1H03 in the pro
vince of Vcrmeland, among the iron moun
tains of Sweden. His father was the proprietor
of an Iron mine, and the engineering tastes of
young Ericsson, therefore, had ample opportu
nities for development. When only ten years
of age he had constructed several complicated
mechanical contrivances which attracted the
attention of Count Platen, who procured him
an appointment in the corps of Engineers, and
at the age of twelve years he was appointed
Naveleur on the grand ship oanal of
Sweden. In thia capacity, In the year
1816, be was required to set out the
work for more than six hundred men. At
the age of seventeen he entered the Swedish
army and was ordered npon a survey of the
northern part of Sweden, whioh he conducted
with suoh skill and aoouraoy as to seoure the
warmest approbation of his superiors. About
this time he made some experiments showing
bow mechanical power may be prodaoed, in
dependently of steam, by the condensation of
flame, and he succeeded in produolng a motive
power equal to a steam engine of ten horse
power. In 1826 he obtained permission to visit
England, where he applied himself with new
araor to his experiments, and prodaoed a num
ber of interesting mechanical inventions.
In 1829 a prise was offered by the Liverpool
and Manchester Hallway lor the best looo
motive engine. Ericsson undertook to com
pete at seven weeks' notice, and by
a principle of artificial draught whioh
be used, he succeeded in making fifty miles
an hour, and won the prize. In 1833 Ericsson
brought before tbesolentlfio world in London
nis caiorio engine, me acting medium em
ployed being atmoapherlo air. The maohloe
constructed by him was an ordinary engine of
five-horse power, and it exoited muoh Interest,
but the unfavorable opinion of some scientific
men operated to retard Its sucoess. In the
meantime, however, Ericsson applied himself
to the perfection of another idea, the sorew
propeller, and be constructed a model whioh
acted so well as to convince him of the practl
cnblllty of the invention. Be next built
a boat forty feet long, whioh, when first put in
motion, glided through the water at the rate of
ten miles an hour, and her power to tow large
vessels was proved by her propelling schooners
of one hundred and forty tons burden at the
rate of seven miles an hour, and the American
packet ship Toronto was towed up the Thames
at tbe rate of five miles an hour. Notwlth
standing tbe success of these experiments, the
English engineers refused to countenanoe the
invention, and he could not excite tbe
interest of the Board of Admiralty,
so be turned bis attention to the New
World. Mr. Franois B. Ojden, the Amerloan
Consulat Liverpool, beoame convinced of the
value of Ericsson's invention, and Introduoed
him to tbe notice of Robert F. Stockton, of the
United States Navy, who undertook to seoure
me iavorable consideration of the United
States Government for the new propelling appa
ratus, and be auooeeded in persuading Erloason
to aoanaon bis professional engagements in
England and to take np his resldenoe In

THE NEW WHEEL-OCIPEDF.
An Old Vehicle with a New Name.
It baa ODly od.6 wheel.
Neither treadle nor laddie;
It Is bnllt la suoh shape
That yon don't have to straddle.
The man who propels It
Takes hold with his hands
Of two parallel bars,
And on the gronnd stands;
Pnts bis feet then In motion,
One afior tbe other,
While tbe veblele goes
Without any bother.
Tbls funny machine
Has no painting or gliding;
It la useful to carry
Material for building
Shingles and shavings,
Bricks, lime, and plaster
And the lighter tbe load,
It can travel the faster.
It Is better than Hitycle,
For It isn't so narrow,
And our Wheel-ocipede
We will call Wheelbarrow !
Veloclpeders, Wbeelbarrowlsts, Pedestrians,
and all other sorts and oondltions of men and
boys, are invited to continue their Investiga
tions of our mammoth stock of seasonable
maBcnline raiment.
For tbe closing winter and the opening
spring, we have the thick coat, the thin coat,
tbe elegant Mellon, tbe sllu-mlxed, the steel
mixed, and, in a word, everything you want,
and at snob prices as will oertainly please you.
