feir iiir.yr; gram, Captain Lacey, -formerly
sE assi gAilv :vgiment.but now in the Sixth
kug.41,1 °See, 'Washington, received
from oneofhis old comrades a letter which I
gated that the brokers in Ohio were buy
ing up !oldiers discharge papers, at troin
one to six hundred dollars,and asked what
possiblyj could be the object. The Captain
ref veil! the matter to General Baker,who
replied as follows : First, that lac knew
'of no legitimate cause for soldiers dis
charge papers ; and second, that the sale
or, tranfer of said paper cannot carry with
it. any profit—they can only be' used .by
their' legitimate holder, unless Congress
ptisses a law malting valid such purchase
.or transfer. :If the papers arebought and
sold, the buyer evidently supposes that
such a ipr will be passed by Congress,and
that he will bo entitled to all the benefits
to whiOlt the soldier himself would be en
titled. J. General Baker further says, that
though such a transfdr would be legal he
would advise all soldiers to keep their
papers, and not barter away the bouvrablo
.records.

f Horace Greeley.
Tforaco Greeley is not in favor of de
mending universal negro suffrage, but
favors A suffrage. which shall totally ex
clude Color from eonsidemtion. "I don't
care, Miles," was his remark to us a few
evenings ago.4--"I don't care if they in
mist that every voter shalt have to read,
translate and parse two chapters in the
Gi i ,ock Testament, and pay a thousand
dollare income tax every year, if they
will only establish that as the universal
qualification for suffrage, irrespective of
eolor.i I mean, Miles, to make the best
fight that I can for my poor colored
blends on this issue;' and then—if they
beat um after I've done my best—l can
wash my hands of the sin and folly, and
go off fishing soniewhore." Thetie are
the , Words of a whole-souled, earnest and
gallon,/ man,' by whose character—no
matter how 'we may differ in political
opinion—our most complete respect is
extorted. Greeley hag his peculiarities,
of coarse, and what original intellect has
not; hut no pulse of warmer fidelity, or
bminl i of clearer insight, or heart of more
houest courage can be found on this con

• t ,
i reported in"favor of 'the:admission :of Hon.
1 David M7Conanghy, Republican, of .A.daiirs.
The facts in - relation to the cage are these
Duncan had polled for him tWenty.tfi!ve-votes
more:than were polled for his,cornpetitor,-Mr.-
McConatighy, lint admitted that ninety'-three,
votes were CHsli for him (Duncan) by deser
ters. The Cotitinittee took thcfpositicin_that
under the law of Congress these ninetpthree
votes were illegal ; . the opposition contended
that the law Whit :ynetristitntional ; to.-this
was answered, that thei Act having been yass
ed by Congress iandi approved by the Presi
lent, it became 'a part of the law of the laud
until declared nneonstitutionallby the proper
tribnnal—the Cdurt of. the United
States,- Therefore, the Wake admitted Mr.
McConatighy, and he was duly qualified.
Mr.' Mann p'vesented a petition from - the
Comtnistioners l of Potter county to enable
them to collect saxe.4 in Certain towiaAtips- in
this county. 1
* Mr. Mann introdeced 'a Bill entitled, An
Act to increase the resenue of the Common-
I I r I
wealth by imppsiug a tax on all Banks doing
business in this Commor.wealth. This should
become a law—if any ,Banks should be taxed,
of which there'rem to be no. question, then
all should be taied. dol not believe in
"special" priril6es, except I nhere they are
granted purelY fi L 3r thegood of the people.
We have recened the fullbwing 'from Mr,
Mann, under date of Jan. 18tb-:
" DEAR nt : I enclose you a very important
Bill which I shOuld be glad if you would print
and call attention 'to it', It his not been acted 1
on in the Legislature and I-sblicit the opinion
of my constittients as to the Propliety of pass
-1 t
ing. Very truly yours."
The followiat is the bill : .
, ,
Be it enacted, 14T., 41 That on the trial of any
issue joined or bf any matter or question 'or on
any inquiry arising in any stilt. action or pro
ceeding in any 'Court - of_Justice in this Com
monwealth, or ;before,. any person, having by
law or by consent of parties authority to hear,
receive and eianiine •evidence, the parties
thereto and the persons in whose behalf any'
such action or other proceeding ntay he brough t
or defended, and any and all: persons inter- :
ested in the sante, shall, except as hereinafter
excepted, be competent.to give evidence,either
viva voce or: b depoSition, according to the
practice of the' court, on behalf of either or
any of the parties to the said action or other
proceeding. ' .frovided, 1 That nothing herein
contained shall render any person who is
charged With any Offnnce, in any ciiminal pro
ceeding competent or compellable to give evi
dence for or.againet himisell or herself, or
shall render any person compellable to answer
any question tending to criminate himself or
herself, or shall in any criminal proceeding
render any km.sband competent or compellable
to give evidence or against his wife, or any'
wife competent or compellable to give' evi
dence for or against her husband, or in any
proceeding,instituted in consequence of adul
tery, nor shall any husband be compellable
to disclose any communication made to him
by .his rife during tlte marriage, nor`shali any
wife be co pellable to disclose any commu
nication tu de to her by her husband during
the, markiage." , , 1
This is truly a very important.rnatter, as it
changes tnate‘jally the law of evidence in
the Courts of.our State. It is practised in .
~
New liork,',and there hos its opponents and
and defenders. Whatthe action of the Legis
lature will be we do dot know, but if there
, . if
are those in the county, who are in favor or
county
opposed, it might bo well for them now to in
dicate their preference, it preference they
hay'e. We have not te 1 space at present to
give that attention to his Bill which its im
portance deserves, but , hope our readers will
peruse it . carefully , wed indicate, by some
means their opinion as to its propriety. I, As
for ourselves, we are v.., l illing. to leave it to the
'superior judgement•of our respectqd Member.
A Bill has been introduccid to exempt all
soldiers from the payment of taxes levied for
the liquidation of debts inceirred in the pay
ment of bounties. Surely that is'a just and
patriotic measure. 1 1 -
