It does j not seem fair that any one should be pro i hibited front stating his or her knowledge of j affairs in any ease where it would be of the least importance. It is said that France not j only hears both sides in civil suits, but it al | so puts the defendant on the witness staud l in criminal trials, England has abolished the absurd custom to which Pennsylvania ■ clung with so much tenacity, turd nearly ev ; cry State in the Union has removed the Seal ! of silence from the lips of witnesses who are | interested parties. It is high time fovPeiiu ! sylvania to rid itself of the old and foolish ! custom to which wc have referred. I wrote you in a former letter that there | was a prospect of an anti-gift-enterprise law > being"enacted by the Legislature. I I egret ! to say that there seems to be no longer any j hope for such a measure to succeed. A most I strenuous effort is being made to have a law j passed to license lotteries, and you need not ' be surprised if the projectors of this scheme succeed in putting it through under the plea that the benevolent institutions of the State I will be benefitted by it. It is proposed that . a certain portion of the proceeds of the lot ; tcries shall be paid over for the benefit of the I charitable institutions referred to. This plea j should not have the least influence in effect ing the passage of the bill, and no member of the Senate or House should so far forget his duty to his constituents as to wink at such a nefarious measure by voting to legal ize a lottery. The newspapers of the Com monwealth should speak out openly against the measure. Let not our State be disgrac ed and her people swindled by means of a bill countenanced and supported by the Leg islature ! It is said that New York sharpers are at the bottom of the affair. Tlie Semite has at last psssed the Jury Bill (a deseripti.m of which was given in a former letter to this paper,) with a few amendments. There is but one of these that is ot any public importance. It is in the second section, and reads as follows : Strike out all alter the words " persons to serve as jurors in the several Courts of such county during that year, and " and inserting in lieu thereof : "if the said commissioners cannot agree upon the names of the persons to be selected by them as jurors, they sliall pro ceed as follows : each of the said commis sioners shidl make a list containing the names of one-half of the requisite number of persons, and ten per centum in addition thereto, and the proper number shall be ob tained bv%each of said commissioner striking from the list furnished by the other a num ber equal to the said addition,and the names not stricken out shall be the selection of the names of 'jurors : and the said jury commis sioners shall in thi mode and manner now directed by law, place the names in the prop er jury wheel, and the said jury wheel, lock ed, as now required by law, shall remain in the custody of said jury commissioners, and the keys thereof in the custody of the Sheriff of said county." It is believed that the House will concur in the .Tun- Bill and that it will become a law. Justice demands it. A measure in which newspaper publishers are directly interested will soon be brought before the Legislature. It is in the shape of a bill providing for the publication of the general laws of the Commonwealth in at least two papers in each county—one of each of the political parties. It is proposed to have the expense of this publication borne by the the respective counties. In the Western States the general laws are published in this manner, and are laid before the public at the earlie-t possible moment. Tlvery reader of a newspaper is thus supplied with a copy of the laws. Here in Pennsylvania none but Justices of the Peace and other officials are furnish, d with the acts of the Legislature, and to the public they are as a sealed hook. It is not only to the interest of newspaper men to have the bill passed, but the citizens of the various counties, icithcml respft to par ly. should unite in urging upon the Legis lature the speedy enactment of the proposed law. The Temperance Convention held in this city on Tuesday and Wednesday last, was kiecidedly the largest gathering of a similar character ever seen in Pennsylvania, and the first one over which a Governor of the Commonwealth ever had the courage to pre side. Former Governor- have been known as the friends of temperance, but none of them could be prevailed upon to accept the chairmanship of a public convention. Gov GEABT was the temporary President of the one held a few days since, and upon taking the chair lie delivered a brief but eloquent address, in which he remarked that in his lifetime he had not used a quart of intoxicat ing liquor, neither had any of the "ardent" been used to secure either his nomination or election as Governor. The Convention was composed of delegates from all parts of the State, and I venture the assertion that a finer-looking set of men were never conven ed in the State Capitol. The proceedings were of a most interesting character,and the members evinced a determination to labor earnestly for the temperance cause until the liquor traffic could bo abolished. A series of resolutions were adopted, recommending" total abstinence ; invoking the aid of teach ers, ministers, physicians and others in the cause ; condemning moderate thinking ; de nouncing the liquor law; pledging the mem bers of the Convention to break over politi cal bonds, and vote only for men favorable to a prohibitory law : directing a law to be drafted for the suppression of the traffic in intoxicating drinks ; providing for a form of organization to be called the Pennsylvania State Temperance Union ; directing the for mation of districts in which conventions stmll he held every three months, and the raising oi SIO,OOO in the State for temper ance purposes; recommending the use of pure wine only for sacramental puqioses in churches; denouncing the various kinds of stomach bitters and the use of domestic wines, etc. Whether any good will be ac complished, remains to be seen. It cannot be denied that some kind of a reform is ne cessary, as the liquor traffic is carried on to excess, but time alone can determine the best remedy to abate the evil. The Senate has adopted a resolution to ap point a committee "to inquire and ascertain, immediately, if possible, the cause of the ir regularities and delays in the United States mails complained of, and report a method of correcting the difficulty." Under the reign ol A.NJOJ, the traitor, mail matters require i looking after. Many of the Copperheap clerks, route agents, etc. f seem to he helping themselves to other people's valuables, as there is a complaint of missing letters from all quarters. Mail matter is also mis-sent, and there seems ti> le gross carelessness manifested in the conducting of the mail service. The Senate has passed an act for the re lief of wives and children who have been de serted by their husbands and fathers. It provides that, in addition to the remedies now prescribed by law, if any husband or father shall separate himself from his wife or children, or both, without reasonable cause, or shall neglect to maintain them, any alder man, justice of the peace or magistrate shall, npou information made under oath, by any porsou, issue his wan at to the sheriff or constable, for tin arrest of the person com plained of. and bind liim over to answer the charge at Court, The Court may. and shall, order the delinquent party to pay sueli sum as the Court may deem proper (not ex ceeding SIOO per month.) for the support of his family, and he shall be committed to the county jail until the order is complied with, or security given therefor. This is a righteous act. There are many scoundrels running at large, whose families are suffer ing and unearcd for. Such individuals should be compelled to support their wives and children, and the act referred to is intended to reach them. Hon. HORACE GBEEI.EY was in Harrisburg a few days ago, and while here visited the Temperance Convention ami addressed that body, on "Self-made Men," in the Court House, before an immense audience. HOB ACE is a great writer, but a miserable reader and speaker, one-third of his hearers were asleep before he had reached the middle of his lecture. He has an enviable reputation as an editor, but that reputation w ill suffer if he persists in his eff< >rts to "Speak in public on the stage." No time has yet been fixed for the final adjournment of the Legislature. There is a great amount of business to he disposed of yet, and it is not likely that the adjourn ment can take place before the last week of March. A number of important hills, he sides hundreds of less importance, must yet receive ih- attention of the law-making body. H'l'lie Senate passed finally a supplement to the act compelling the manufacturers of firk ins, kogs and tubs intended for the packing ol' butter or lard, in the counties of Erie, Crawford aud Warren, to mark the weight thereon, extending the same to the county of Bradford. Also, a further supplement to the road laws of Bradford count v. Also, an act to incorporate the Wyoming County Bridge Company. The House Committee on Judiciary Local reported, as committed, an act increasing the fees ol'Justices of the Peace and Consta bles in the counties of Bradford, Wyoming and Susquehana. The House concurred in the Senate amend ments to a further supplement to an act in creasing the fees of the several county offi cers except in the city of Philadelphia, the counties of Bradford, Susquehanna, Wyo ming, etc., consequently the fees in the counties named will remain as heretofore. Mr. WEBB lias read in place, in the House, an act to authorize the Governor to ap point an additional Notary Public for the county of Bradford. Iteferred to Committee on the Judiciary Local. The Senate Committee on Judiciary Gene ral has reported, as committed, an act to transfer the counties of Monroe,Pike, Wayne, Susquehana, Bradford, Wyoming, Luzerne and Carbon, to and add the same ;to the Northern district of the Supreme Court. Laid over for the present. Gov. GEABY has approved and signed the act changing the time of meeting of the au ditors of Hillsgvove township. Sullivan county. REX. Personal and Political. —The Republican State Conven tion of Rhode Island, held at Providence, Friday, renominated General Burnside for Governor, and the Congressional Conven tion renominated Thomas A. Jencks and Nathan F. Dixon for Congress in the First and Second districts. -The House thought it worth while to have a committee to investigate sundry allegations of political barganing between the President and the Members of Congress. The result is. Mr. John Went worth's rather uninteresting report, wherein much is hint ed but nothing fully discovered—and the whole ends in smoke. —The Union State Convention of Kentucky is a good contrast to the late Reb el-Copperhead demonstration therein. The Convention is a sturdy protest against Ken tucky Conservatism and pledges its loyalty jo the true Union men of the country and their party in Congress. The Convention nominated for Governor Col. Sidney M. Barnes, and a full ticket of loyal and able men. —Rev. C. 11.

Franks, of Philadelphia, whiskey inspectors at Philadelphia. —Ex-Governor Aiken,of Sonth Car olina, is a dethroned slaveholder, who, in the very hottest time of secession, preserv ed. if not a neutral attitude, at least an ad mirable equanimity, and is to-day confided in by the Union officers in that State. —The Washington Republican says that the tender of the Boston Collectorship to George Bancroft was merely complimen tary, because it was understood that his lit erary engagements made it impossible for him to undertake the duties of the office. ORI-HANS OF PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS. —The report of Thomas H. Burrowes, Superintendent of Soldiers' Orphans, states that during the past year lour new schools have been established, and three additional schools, now re quired, will be organized as soon as possible. There have been admitted during the year 1575 children, and the total number of scholars on the Ist of December was 2658, of which 1591 were boys, and 1067 girls. These are all cared for until they reech the age of sixteen, when they are discharged, being judged compe tent at that age to do something towards earning a livelihood. The total expense of the system for the year ending November JO was $009,- 349 26, which is a small sum when we consider the benefits which are to be derived from it. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS, Friday, March 1, 1807. In the Senate Friday, on motion of Mr, Sherman, the Finance Committee was discharged from the further con sideration of the House bill to in crease the duty on wool. Mr. Sher man then reported another bill, em bracing the wool section of the Sen ate Tariff Bill, and asked that it be acted upon immediately. This bill was debated until 1 o'clock, when, without having been acted upon, it was laid aside and the Colorado Bill taken up in accordance with a pre vious arrangement. The Colorado Bill having been vetoed by the Pres ident, the question was upon its pass ing over the veto, a two-thirds vote being required to pass it. The vote stood yeas 29, nays 19; absent or not voting, 4. The bill consequent ly failed to pass. The Internal Rev enue Bill came up as unfinished busi ness. The amendment offered by Mr. Henderson abolishing the tax on all future crops of cotton was lost by a vote of 19 yeas to 19 nays. An amendment offered by Mr. Pom eroy, reducing the tax to two cents a pound, was agreed to, yeas 21, nays 18. An amendment reducing the tax on whisky was disagreed to. An amendment was agreed to auth orizing gaz companies to add the tax to the price of gas delivered under existing contracts. The Senate then ! went into executive session, and i shortly after took a recess. Other amendments were discussed at the I evening session, and the bill was j passed. It now goes to the House j for concurrence in the amendments ! made. The Fortification Appropria- J tiou was amended in various ways, ! and the section adopted in the House providing that only 50 per cent, of the appropriations should be expend ed during the present fiscal year, was stricken out. The bill then pass ed, The bill making appropriations ! for the Navy was also passed. In the House a number of Com j mittees of Conference were appoint ! Ed to consider the bills on which the Senate and House have disagreed. The Deficiency Bill was considered in Committee of the Whole, and aff orded matter for lengthy debate. A proposition to appropriate $20,000 to pay the expenses of the Commission appointed to investigate the Fort Phil Kearny massacre, brought up the Indian controversy again. Mr. Windorn favored a pacific policy re garding them, but thought that leg islation of Congress looked to the extermination of all Indians, men, women and children. The appropria tion was agreed to. The appropria tion of $5,000 fur furnishing and re pairing the Executive Mansion, was opposed by several members, and it was stated that $76,000 had already been appropriated for that purpose. The old scandal of last session, rel ative to the late occupants of the White House having carried off a large quantity of the furniture of the White House, was revived, and was dcuied by Mr. Farnsworth and others. The further consideration of this bill was postponed until the evening session. The business on the Speak er's table was then disposed of, af ter which the usual recess was tak en. The Army Appropriation Bill was next taken up and the Senate amendments disposed of and new ones adopted, after which a Commit tee of Conference was asked for. Mr. Leßlond raised a laugh by offering a resolution reciting the fact that the Legislature of Ohio hud refused to strike the word "white" out of the State Constitution, aud instructing the Reconstruction Committee to re port a bill establishing a military form of government for the "so-call ed" State of Ohio until the people adopt a republican form of govern ment. Mr. Stevens was not sure but Pennsylvania should be included. The Committee of Conference on the Bankrupt Bill made a report recom mending that the House 'recede from its concurrence with the Senate amendments. The subject was dis cussed for some time, when amo tion to lay the report, and as a con sequence the bill, on tilt? table was negatived, yeas, 71, nays 83. The previous question was moved and seconded and the main question or dered, when a motion to adjourn was made, but the House refused to ad journ. After a little time spent in "fillibnsteriug," the vote was taken amid great excitement,and the House accepted the report of the Committee by yeas 73, nays 71. The House soon after adjourned. The last hours of the Thirty-ninth Congress were distinguished by the usual confusion, and by the continua tion of Saturday's session, through the Sabbath. Within that brief space much of the important business of the Session was brought to a close. We make a brief note of the bus - ness : The Tariff Bill was defeated, but the House bill passed on the "27th Ju ly last was adopted. This is known as the Wool Tariff Bill. The Bankrupt Bill was passed by a close vote. The Tenure of Office Bill was veto ed by the President—and became a law, having been passed by a two thirds vote. The Reconstruction Bill which we published last week, was vetoed by the President, and passed by the req uisite uumber of votes, aud is now a law. The currency remains essentially unchanged by the action of Congress. Congress at one o'clock Monday morning, took a recess until !* A. M. The Sunday evening session of the Senate was continued uninteruptedly until near daylight on Monday morn ing, when a short recess was taken. The Senate reassembled and conclu ded the business of the session. A number of bills were reported from the'several Committees and agreed to. Mr. Foster, President of the Sen ate, then delivered his valedictory ad dress and retired from the chair in order that a temporary President might be chosen pr or to the organi zation of the Fortieth Congress. Mr. Wade was chosen President pro tern., aud returned thanks to the Senate for the honor conferred upon him. A res- j olution of thanks was voted to Mr. Foster for the able and effi dent man ner iij which he had discharged the dutins of President during its session. The Senate went into executive ses sion, and when the hour of 12 o'clock arrived the acting President declared the Senate of the Thirty-ninth Con gress adjourned nine die. The Senate of the Fortieth Congress was immediately called to order by Mr. Wade, President pro tern., and af ter prayer Ly the Chaplain the newly elected Senators were sworn in. The Senators from the new State of Ne braska drew lots for the long and short terms, Mr. Thayer drawing the long term, which expired March 4, 1871, and Mr. Tipton the short one, which expires March 4, 1869. com mittee was appointed to wait upon the President and inquire if he had any communication to make to the Senate, and the House was notified of the Senate's organization, after which, at 1 o'clock, the Senate ad journed. The House Monday resumed its ses sion at 9A. M. The unfinished busi ness on the Speaker's table was va riously disposed of, and the Speaker, Mr. Colfax, delivered his valedictory. He then declared the House adjourn ed sine die. During the closing hours, that portion of the hall devoted to spectators wa densely crowded with ladies and gentlemen,who had assem bled to witness the going out of the old Congress and the coming in of the new. Immediately on the adjournment being announced, Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the House, called the roll of members,and the work of organizing the lower branch of the Fortieth Con gress commenced. Mr. Colfax was reelected Speaker,and Mr. McPherson Clerk. Mr. Colfax made a brief speech on taking the chair, and then took the o ith of office, subsequently ad ministering the oath to the members. Without proceeding to any other business, the House at 2 o'clock ad journed. PROGRESS- The colored citizens of George town voted on Monday for the first time. Many of them have been slaves—all of them the victims of prejudice, neglect, and oppression. No test of intelligence was made ; the most illiterate voted side by side with the most learned. The Demo cratic papers predicted that, in case the colored people were enfranchised, such would he the influence of their masters over them that they would vote as they were bid. It was also suggested that a drink of whiskey would buy them. How utterly these slanders were refuted by the quiet, self-possessed, unanimous action of the colored people, the Republican success of Georgetown bears testi mony. Georgetown, tho hot-bed of pro-slavery prejudice,has been taken from the control of that reactionary element, and has received a new im petus for material and political pro gress, and we hope to see, next June, Washington city become a Republi can city. Throughout the whole South, the colored population will range itself with unfaltering fidelity to the cause of the Union. They have beeu op pressed too long ; they hold the in estimable privilege of the ballot too sacred to east it against their friends and their interests. In a few months a number of Southern States will present themselves reorganized, with State governments and Senators and Representatives, in accord with the dominant political and religious sen timent of the nation ; then the cur ious spectacle will be seeti of the Democratic party, which has clamor ed so loudly for immediate admission, resisting, as best they may, the ad mission of these Mates. In the election of the future of the South may be read. Everywhere loyal whites will co-oper ate with their colored friends and fellow-citizens to drive from power the influential traitors who have brought desolation on the country. The time is not distant when treason will be more odious at the South than at the North. UNION OF THE OLD AND NEW SCHOOL PRESBYTERIANS. —For a long time past the subject of a union of the Old and New School Presbyterian bodies in this country lias been debated in Gen eral Assemblies, Synods, Presbyte ries, Sessions, and among the peo ple in the churches. The distinctions of the two bodies being almost with out a difference, the people of both communions have long felt that it was their duty to come together in form, as they have long ago united in heart. There is nothing in the way of this union excepting the respect for technicalities growing out of the very forms o! government which both bodies alike hold to be the best cal culated to promote the cause of Chris tianity, as it is preached in their pul pits and taught in their schools ; and to the end that all obstacles to a union should be removed a conference of members from both churches met in New York last week, and whatever the members ma}' agree to recom mend will undoubtedly be ratified by the respective General Assemblies which meet next May.
