SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1869. igu, Tun Lrv'i Appointment ni Post' minti-eia ol lll-limonl. Tob Senate yesterday confirmed the Appoint ment of Elizabeth Van Lev as postmaster or postmistress of Rtohmond, Virginia. This action has a much deeper significance than the semi-endorsement it gives to women's rights by bestowing an important office on a member of the proscribed sex. Long before the noisy modern agitation was commenced, It was not an anusnal ocourrenoe for the widows of postmasters who possessed the pnblio ooa fidenoe to retain the positions previously held by their deceased husbands. There is, there fore, no startling ionovation in the late action of the President and the Senate, when viewed from this standpoint. Its true signlfioanoe arises from the fact that Mijs Van Lew wa3 a staunch fiiend of the Union all through the war, liberally extending aid to Union prison ers, and sending her slaves through the lines with Important intelligence to General Grant. While we have no disposition to re joice ever a fallen foe, or to rake up the slum bering fires of a dead past, it is a just source of congratulation that a true friend of the na tional cauee, residing at the central point of the defanot Confederacy, is fitly rewarded; and that the hanghty seoesh dames and arrogant aecesh braggarts who once basked in the smiles of Jefferson Davis, and who preached and praotised the dootrinethat loyalty implied sooial degradation as well as politioal error, can regale themselves with the sight of a true hearted Unionist whenever they transmit or re ceive a letter through the mails of the triumphant Repnblic. There may be well-grounded doubts of the unswerving soundness of some of the newly-Hedged Southern loyalists, but the escutcheon of the (reman who proved unfalteringly faith pT among the faithless, and who braved all perils to mitigate the horrors of Rebel prison pens, and to guide our armies t the true point of attack, is stainless; and most fitting is it that she should be honored and rewarded. At the outbreak of the war Miss Van Lew was one of the most wealthy residents Of Eiohmond, owning a large amount of valuable real estate as well as a number of slaves. She lost her fortune and risked her life by her defiant and persistent devotion to the Union. She boldly furnished food to the prisoners in Libby, despite all threats and menaces. On cne oooaslon she seoreted in her parlor a num ber of horses, which were subsequently used to facilitate the escape o( Union prisoners; and She kept Secretary Stanton advised of the Rebel movements at periods when this ta3k ' was attended with the greatest difficulty and danger. After the war was over she made a Short visit to this city, where she wrote a Sterling letter referring to affairs In the South, Whioh was published in The Telegraph, and subsequently republished in many of the leading Journals of the oeuntry. Her nervous system was greatly shocked by the exoiting Scenes through whioh she had passed, and after losing health, property, and sooial eta' as, It Is gratifying to know that her eminent ser vices have not been forgotten. The Cnban QneaMon. Tbb practical importance of the Caban ques tion is steadily and constantly increasing More sugar plantations have recently bees da rastei, and new obstacles have been inter , posed to the transportation of the old crop from the interior to the shipping ports. These occurrences, coupled with the expectation that, while all hopes of a yield thi3 year, in Some districts, have been destroyed, in more peaceful regions the product will be greatly diminished, are causing another rise in the price of the Cuban staple; and the despatches sent yesterday from Havana announce that there are "more buyers than sellers, and holders demand an ad vanoe." The industrial and commercial significance of these events adds increased interest to the political agita- ' tion likely to arise at an early period ia this . country, for the House Committee of Foreign Affairs has now under consideration the reso lution to authorize the President to recognize Cuba, and it is said that the Minister of the revolutionary party will be at Washington in a few days to represent in person the patriotio cause. The Eligibility of Wltnee. Ws are glad to be able to announce the pas sage through the State Senate of the bill to allow parties in interest to testily in all civil suits. The need of such a law and its eminent Jostloe we have already called atten tion to. There can be no doubtbat that, up . to the present time, Pennsylvania has been behind the age in not altering her laws of evi dence so as to keep pace with of Great Britain, the United States, and her sister Com monwealths. All of the leading States in the Union have adopted laws similar to that to Whioh the Senate has given a tardy assent. Why, then, should we be behindhand In pro cress f It is very well for the opponents of the measure to talk of the wisdom of our fore fathers, the advantage to holding steadily by old landmarks, the danger of innovations. If such orators as Mr. Wallace, of Clearfield, would take the trouble to examine the history of this very branch of Jurisprudence, they would see that there have been constant altera tions for many generations past, all tending . towards the . result wkivh' tre We when the "wisdom of our ancestors" allowed no one to testify who was Interested in a suit, either immediately or remotely. They need not have been interested In the record, but if they were even distantly liable for the insignificant oosts of an action all their evidence was exolnded, their mouths sealed, and the knowledge they possessed kept oat of the oase and hidden from the Jury. Was this a proof of the "wisdom of our ancestors" for whioh Mr. Wallace has so great a respect f The next step in the right direction was the statute which allowed the testimony of all those who did not appear upon the record as interested. This was an advanoe whioh admitted to the ears of the Jury most of the facts of the oase which were before' excluded, the absurdity of whioh exclusion is shown by the fact that the people thus remotely interested are the ones, of all others, likely to know the facts of the case. Parties who have no interest whatever in a transac tion, as a rnle know but little about It. A man does not make it his business to investigate the circumstances of an event whioh is none of his concern. Now the present law allows the whole matter to be laid before the Jury, and the credibility of the witnesses is left to the court and the jury itself. By this means both reason and justice are promoted, and one of the relics of a past age of law cut away from cumbering the ground. The old rules of spe cial pleading have been abandoned; common sense has become a greater rule of action in law than it was. We hope the House will, amid its multitude of private laws, fiud time to pass Ihe proper bill. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. 3MIk6IO AKY aNMVEltltBY OF CElSTRAL M. K.
