'et Se Happy.
Messrs. Kemble, Elkius and Widener,
the Philadelphia gentlemen who were am
bitious te run all the street railways iti
Xew Yerk as well as Philadelphia, are net
se happy new as they were a few weeks age
when they lieught the franchise from Mr.
Sharp, which had been bought by him
from the New Yerk aldermen. Mr.
Sharp's corrupt performances did net
trouble them at all. In fact they thought
Mr. Sharp a very bad man, and they de
clared their purpose te recover from him
all the moneys of which he robbed the
company, of whose stock they bought a
controlling interest. As they presented
the matter, they innocently bought a lail lail
read from Mr. Sharp which they then
found had been fraudulently burthened
with the heavy debt it carried. Conss Censs
quently it was their duty te recover back
this sum from Mr. Sharp and make him
pay the debt that they assumed when
they made the purchase. It was a
very pleasant prospect that tliese gen
tlemen pictured te themselves. They
would obtain a franchise g6t by fraud, of
which they were innocent, and at the same
time pay a great deal less for it than they
agreed te pay.
But a fly has dropped in. The Xew V01 k
legislature proposes te revoke the fraudu
lently obtained charter. This will crucify
the innocents abroad from Philadel
phia, when, as they leek at it, only the
evil Sharp and tiie bad alderman should
suffer. Mr. "Widener declares that it is a
very serious thine in a state te repudiate
its premises even when they are fraudu
lently ebtaineJ. lie thinks it would be a
great political mistake te cancel the Hnxttl
way charter,even if the corperators did net
de what the law required of them and did
de what it;; .statutes condemn as criminal.
Mr. Widener is an expert in politics, of
the Philadelphia kind. Se is Mr. Kembie ;
they have both latterly retired te the
richer pastures of commercial sjeculatien.
But their views as te the honor of a statn
and the degree te which it may
be imposed iien by the citizen are
such new as they have- lieen went
always te maintain and practice en.
Mr. Kembie is the person known as ".Addi
tion, Division and Silence" Kembie. lie
seems te be still the same Kembie. Mr.
Widener does the talking for the firm, aud
has managed te let us all knew just what
its thoughts and alms have been. The pio pie
ject has been te buy the Broadway charter
from any one who get it by hook or bycioek
and te held en te it llueiigh any
amountefleg.il proceedings biuught fei
their ouster; knowing that in the years
through which the litigation would be pro pre
longed they could have then recovered all
the concern would cestjand, that being in
possession, they would always have the
best chance le stay in if they wanted
te. But the summary process of kick
ing them out by revoking their charter
did net seem te them as among the pesii.
bilities, and it is very natural that in their
disgust they should think it a great politi
cal mistake upon the part of the New Yeik
legislature and a high crime against the
hanctity of public faith.
Codifying the Law or I'empeteiie).
The law of Pennsylvania regulating the
competency of witnesses is involved in
some obscurity and some contradictions
as it stands at present, se made by the
statutes and decisions. While a man or a
woman indicted for a crime can testify in
his or her own behalf, the wife or husband
of a defendant cannot testify for the de
fense. When the bars were thiewn down
for all defendants te testify, every leasen
for the invalidity of a wife'.s or husband's
testimony failed ; but because the statute
did net expressly remove the disability the
courts have continued it.invelving the law
in an absurd contradiction. It la still
doubtful whether oue jointly indicted with
another can testify in the hitter's favor if
the trials are separate ; and hew far an ac
cessory, indicted separately from, or
jointly with, his principal is affected by
the recent fctatutes regulating the compe
tency of witnesses.
Judge McPherson, of Lebanon, w he is a
close student and industrious jurist, alive
te the present inconsistencies and obscuii ebscuii
ties of the law, appeals te the profession in
the state te co-operate In seeming the
drafting and passage of a comprehensive
act, applying te the competency of wit
nesses in ending and undertcriuined civil
and criminal proceedings aud these here
after instituted, and the repeal of all ether
and Inconsistent statutes. He publishes
his own idea of such an act In the CfaimV
JttpetU,mi invites criticism, discissien
and suggestions of amendment of it. The
Bubject Is ene that should engage the
earnest attention of jurists and which con cen
cems the w hole body of citizens of the com.
menwealth. Judge Greeii has said from
the supreme bench that " a new, a mere
comprehensive, and a meie careful and
accurate expression ej legislative intent
upon the whole subject of the competency
of witnesses than we yet have is much te
be desired." If it is left te the legislature
te make it without deliberate and well
', digested direction It will either Le badly
done or net done at all.
, B8ldes ether features of his proposed
ftewgv kjmI codification of the law, Judge
THE
McPherson thinks that if icisens under
sentence for felonies nre te be disqualified
te testify, these sentenced for the misde
meanors of forgery, bribery and embezzle
ment should likewise be incompetent, as
their moral guilt is as great us a felony like
larceny. Atthcsamotime he lccegnlzcs
it as mere in the line of modern tendency
te take away entirely this incempetency,
except in the conspicuous misdemeanors of
p;rjitiy and subornation, and only lcae
the fact of present conviction te affect the
credibility of the witness. "This is new
the sole effect of a past cenv lctlen, except
in the case of iei jury, and (here does net
seem te be, in theory or practice, any
real difference in quality between tliotesti tlietesti tliotesti
meny of a felon still in jail and the testi
mony of a felon just out of jail.'
In civil cases there lias been an incieas.

of a witness; and jet the law as it new

resentative cn'Mcities, or whenever the
assigner of the tiling or centiait in ait ion
is dead or lunatic.
These aud ether apparent detiriencies of
the present law pointed out 1 Judge Mc
Pherson, with the remedies siigscitetl or
better ones invited, entitle the whole sub

Mlum productions of the Ninth in a spirit

It will readily be seen that within a space
of time briefer than one generation of men,
the renaissance of literature 111 the states
of late Confederacy has ln-en mere re
markable than the material dev elepment
of its worn aud wasted fluids or the new
music of loom and spindle, trip hammer
and steam whistle.
The galaxy of Southern writers of te-dav
is indeed a very brilliant one. and while
Longfellow's lyre is tuueles and llryant's
harp is shattered, Helmes and Whittier are
in the late autumn of life, the coming men
and women in the lealm of imaginative lit
erature seem te be in unusual number from
the south. Though they are jiervaded by
no provincial spiritjheperuh.iily Southern
spirit of their prose and v erse is unmistak
able, and in a sceie of years the literary de
velopment of the Ninth has been mere dis
tinct than that of half a century 111 the
great and growing West.
The removal of the incubus of slaveiy
undoubtedly is te be ciedited in some
measure with this new literaiy life ; it may
be that the wieck and nun of war itself
have largely inspired it, for Father Ryan
says a land without ruins is a land without
memories ; certain it is that the Seuth h;is
done mere for American literature since
the war than in a hundred years before.

And then Hev. Milter records the answer
of the iirohblshe, who, lifting up both Ids
hands wld :
" It is an amazement te 1110 that Protestants
should concelve such a iiuetlen. Tliere is
no church se quick as ours le teach that, in
outward things, what a man Is iiotcetwlous
of as necessary cannot be a ground of death,
or even a subject of transgression. It is n

trampled."
In further elucidation of his meaning at
the cenv ersatien new rivalled by Hev. Mil
ler, the archbishop neiv calls te his notice
these authorities en the same Interesting sub
ject :
Cardinal Manning says : "The doctrine
that 'out of the Chm eh fieri- i, no ,ti nfu.ti,'
is te be interpreted both by dogmatic and by
moral theology. As a dogma, theologians
teach that many tsjieng te the church w he
are out et its visible unity : as a moral truth,
that te be out of the church is no or-enal
iti, except te thoe vv he stu lu being out or

in.-H(;"iMy out of it who are and have al
ways been either physically or morally un
able te soe their obligation te submit te it,"
eti. ("Fuglaud aud Christendom," p. 01. )
Cardinal Newman writes In .1 similar
"onse : "As regards England, vast multi

etc. ("Anglican Dlfhculties," p.JOU,)
A little book called " Catholic Helier," pub
lished by Henziger Hrethers, says : "Catho
