Seir Last, }seek we presented a bill to the County' pommtssioners for advertising the Efdctionand.Court Proclamations during the pia. 4864. ^lt amounted to one hundred and soVetiti:-three dollars, which is fifty dollars toss Ahatt . mv other newspaper in the County tiliarged,for ; publishing the same. The bills presented by the Democratic papers Were, we lielioVe, 'paid in full, while that of the Amer ican and our own were reduced to eighteen onif Knowing that we were fairly en titled to receive our claim in full we declined any such pittance, and we hope the gentle men who have control of the County's busi ness and finances will hereafter make pres ents to those who need them. Wore this a matter that Concerr ed us in dividually, we would not make it the subject Of any remarks, but as it is an attempt to make the business of the County subservient to the interests of a party, we deem it a duty tet give the matter publicity. Our reader. have some interest in the disbursement of the ;ibia of the County, and have also a right to be furnished with the Election and Court Proclamations, Statements of the Finances of the County, and all other similar publica tions authorized by law, and that too, with out being compelled to take certain journals merely for the 'purpose of getting a glance at those docurnents. e'n we expend our labor anti materials in making them public we have the same right to compensation therefore as have our editorial brethren, Whose political opinions coincide with those of our courteous friends, the Commissioners. The law never contemplated that official ad vertisements and notices should be published _for the benefit of particular persons or for thepurpose of sustaining party organs. Their Publication is for tho benefit of the commu nity. They contain information of impor tance for every citizen, and their publication is designed to bring this information within the reach of all who are interested. 'Here tofore the bills fur these advertisements have been paid to all the papers published in the Borough, but this year a strange spirit of re trenchment seems to have entered the minds of our Commisiioners. We hope to be abb• to show over , their own signatures before another month pass( s, some items v, hick will prove to the tax-payers of the County what original conceptions of coonomy in the agement of our affairs, these gentle nun play. The action of the Commissioners. in this matter ii contemptible even for than. They might have the goodness to min:member that they were elected to transtzt the busi ness of the County and nut for the purpitim of dispensing patronage to their favorit , :t. It might also occur to them from their knowl- edge of the assessments, that the party from whom they thus attempt to conceal all know' edge of the affairs of the County and of the official announcements of the times al,' plac es of holding our courts and election:, pay quite as much into the County Treasury 114 - -- Aloes - the. party which is the fortunate owner of a life estate in the patronage of the Com missioners' office.. We also take the liberty v' suggesting to them that the saute party contributes' quite freely to the payment of the salaries of some gentlemen who,e prin cipal services consist in genteel besting. By what right then lire they A - eluded from all 'tr. , nowledge of the business of the County nr forced to pay for the information that is fur niched to the Democracy at the public es pense. We are ini,rmed teat our affable and lib eral minded gUZLrd la of the County's inter est assert that Iltcy bi:% - c only authority to pay these advertisemerts in Iwo newspapers. We are riot informed whether or not they claim that they arc authorized to publish them only in Democratic journals—but we shouldn'Avonder they did. This appears to be their intention and we believe these gen tlemen quite as frequently gratify their feel .mgs and prejudices as they do their sense of duty and right. If we thought they desired dight•on this point we would refer them to the set of Assembly which authorizes publication in one or snore newspapers of the the coun ty." Pardon 372-19. Possibly, however, our friends do not regard this as authority be yond the range of their own party. To what may strictly be called the patron :ago of the office we make no claim whatever. ;VVe do not expect it, nor do we need it or desire it. Whatever advertising or printing may be done for the County that does not necessarily interest the entire community we ate perfectly willing that it shall be given icrtheparty in power. "But tho publishing of ProclaMations, &c., intended to roach every Man in the community and in which all are interested, only in papers of a single party, is unwarranted by law, reason or pre cedent, and we protest against any such a buse of power on the part`of those to whom -the businns affairs of the:County are entrust . . We shall continue to publish all Court and 44oetion Proclamations, Financial State . Monts and all other official documents that are orderieial interest.

The new Vice Admiral has fairly won' the bright laurels he now so modestly wears. He has served his country honorably and well for nearly if not quite a half century. ' Since the breaking out or the war he has been ex ceedingly active. By his skill andintrepid ity he fairly won the victory of New Orleons. The valor of the noble sailors under hig'tom ! mend was not to be daunted by the tornado of shot and shell rained on them from the rebel forts and batteries, and were undis mayed by the " fire rafts" with which they . sought to burn our fleet. Otillailtly shay pressed on and Noi' drlban4 was won. At Mobile the g;orious old "Sea dog . ' lashed himself to the mast and directed tho move ments of the fleet in person, and fearlessly ran by Fort Morgan. Such valor as he dis played on that occasion could not fail to gain for him the high position ho now so well adorns. His bravery, courage aid skill have never been surpassed by ar y naval offi cer in Europe or America, and the people of New York have resolved to give him a sub stantial proof of their appreciation of his meritorious acrvicmi, in the shape of a pros mia of ono hundred-thousand dollars! All hoer to the noble old sailor. His declining years will be rendered happy by this sub stantial token, and he can but feel that the American people are generous to their noble naval chamt ion. He has nobly won his laurels—may he wear them long. Parties as Witnesses Congress very quietly 'introduced a legal reform into a law, passed in .July last, which will work a wonderful change in the busi ness of the Federal Courts. Hitherto the United States were governed by the local laws in relation to the manner in which evi dence might be received. For instance, in the Smithery States a negro . could not be a witness by State laws, and therefore he was not admitted to testify in the - United States Courts. This was the principal evil which demanded reform, and a provision was there fore introduced into an act of Congress that "in the United States Courts no witness should be excluded upon ticistimt of Ilk Od er; ' pro' which 11 object of the law, was added, " zittr in eix it actions because he is a party to or interested in the issue tried." Si' those row word. , a very ancient principle of the common law is swept away. In England this change is of several years . existence. ew York the reform was made some years an d it h a , not been found to be injurious to justice. Tilt re are many mysterit . in law-suits which might be Fatisfact ,, rily explained by the par ties, and which no evidence by third per sons, whom they can bring forward, will clear up. As both partdes have a right to be examined, there Call be 1.10 ads outage ta ken of either. If falsehood is attempted by one, the other can refute it ; and where there is oath against oath, the weight of the evi dence by unbiassed ait mosses will settle the Mai MEIN The Stet's Courts are not permit tied to allow this pi ivileV to the parties in in criminal proceeding":, Lot it is 'sore gentiy required in sue h case". than in eivil suits. The party injured in a Criminal pros ecution•iii generally a villnims; and as the United States are the nominal complainants, is held, by a fiction of the law, that he has no nacre'', in the matter. In fact, the pros ecutor is usually the only interested with, Ms testimony is taken, while that of the Ant Om; assuring a very im port.int ailyantrgo to the firmer. In civilly proceedings all parties are heiird, and, in the majority of e:l 4- .3, the iiiki4Sti.2ll, the plaintilfs and defendants pro"tin the whole controy4. , r,y without a necessity of railing corroborative l'N Th,re CI has been any complaint against equity praiti,•o npon that aceuunt. Why shouthl there h if a similar rule were: 'nude fur the of actions at law ? Attempts have hitherto berm made in the I.ygislatury of Pennsylvania to introduce this reform ioto our system. They Lave been diifi ated. however, by the prejudices of a portion of the members, aided by the ar guments of some among them who have pos sessed political influence among their col leagues. We hope that the next Legisla ture will be more liberal. There can by no good reason against the change, and there are very many in its favor. TAE PACIFIC RAILROAD The cunipletion and opening of the Utii.m Pacific Railroad from Banda, City, Mo., to the town of Lawrence, Ka uses, is an event which in ordinary thries,•ivould be deemed of prime importance ; but the exciting occur rences incident to the war have eclipsed all else. It seems hard to realize that but a few months ago this region was the scene of some of the most furious struggles of this campaign. But war has surged all around this district without arresting the progress of the great continental highway,. A popular necessity presses onward this enterprise. Had it not been for the determined exertions of the free States to colonize the State of Kansas with hardy and industrious free State settlers, the building of this railway would have made no more progress there than have the parallel lines through Nebraska and oth er territories, This line has .a long distance to traverse yet before it reaches Colorado territory; and the great problem, the most difficult of all, how to build and operate a railroad across the great desert, remains yet to be approach ed. Still the opening of this first, link to Lawrence is a cheering evidence of" the ear nestness of the men . engaged in the undeiL taking, and a stimulant to still greater exer tion. This railroad will facilitate the settle. ment of the interior of Kansas, and carry the frontiers westward rapidly. The starting point for the overland emigration trains will, of course, be transferred westward with the progress of .the railroad, and we shall soon see Lawrence becoming an important. dopot for the outfit of emigrants. If the railroad were now finished-hid in operation to Lolprado, we should sod an - immense rush to thei gold 'regions of that'torritory: Even as it' s; the •Lprospect of Colorade being connected with ithe,etist by Tailwnys Within two years, tempt manysto migrate thither festival! them ' ilotves;Of tonal:lg nth/ a litittec., WithgrawN,l g the gerv-folOy :Loan.

LaSt winter a great contest was had among the represen: tatives of the different institutions of learn ing as to which was entitled to a share or the whol6 of 'this land. Without referring to the merits of the arguments advanced in sup port of these chilies, we aro constrained to notice the fact that great cooiplaitit exists throughout the Commonvii:alth as to the manner of disposing of these lands. We deem it only fair that we should give a heM;- ing to the moot prominent journal among: those alluding to this subject. The PittS2 burg Gazette thus emphatically refers to this_ transaction : Congress, our readers are aware, some time since donated nearly 800,00.) acres of land to this State, to be devoted to the es tablishment crone or more Colleges for the education of the people, with an agricultural department; and the Governor, the Sur veyor General and tho Auditor General, by an act of the legislature, were appointed a committee, and invested with power to re ceive the nunaiticettt gift. A clause in this act empowered thew to sell any of them:land warrants, if found advantageous, and the in terest Of the money (it having been invested in State or United States securities) paid over, for the time bein to the Farm School in Centre mealy. Last winter, none of the land having been sold, and there being a grunt many projects:, before the legislature for the permanent dis tribution of the fund which, if the land were sold, would amount to near a million of dollars—a bill was introduced into the Senate. and passed there in Committee of the Whole, ordering that none of the land should be disposed ;if until further legisla tion. The bill, owing to factious opposition at the close of the session, did 11 , 11 ; all the votes taken indicated unmistakably the desire that no sudden distribution or sale should be made of the houl, but that it should all remain in 3(atit quo until the nesting of this winter Notwithstanding this. advertisements were obscurely inserted a few weeks since, in one or two papers only, stating that bids would be received for these lands, and we I :ern that barely three or bor bias were pot in, the expectation lunong the knowing ttlli.s be ing that. they wo u ld" have been opened and the whole awarded on the 2d i •staot. For tunately, the sickness of the Auditor Gener al prevented the accomplishment of the ob jiiet evidently intended—the sale of these lands nt n I n n' ligure to harpies who famied they had elmneed on a good thing . .
