M Tho Consoquenco of Crime lie happened to be in the office of the lAutoirn state prison a few days since and there witnessed a scene that we shall remember as long as we live. Such scenes are, doubtless, of frequent occurrences at the prison, but it was never our lot to witness one of the kind before. Our visit to the prison was one relating to business. When we entered the clerk's office our attention was ar rested by the violent sobbings of a fe male, who, we should, think, was about t wen ty-five yearsiold. She was richly dressed and appeared to belong to the better class of society. Our business with the clerk of the prison detained us about half an hour. Without asking 'him any questions as to the cause of the lady's grief, we concluded that a rela tive or friend of- hers had, through crime, become an inmate of the prison. Her.emotions were of an unmistakable character. They told too plainlY, ofthe deep sorrow that was pressing upon her _heart. After we had been in the office a short time a convict entered the room in charge of the keeperl3 of the priSon. He had the appearance of being a man of intelligence, and had he worn any other than a convict's dress we should have taken him to be a man of honor. He had a fair, open - countenance, and bore no outward signs that be had a de praved nature. It Was evident from ins compressed lips anti nervous twitch ing of the ese that he found it difficult to restrain his feelings while passing from the door to tife seat occupied by the lady. Before,,she was aware of the convict's presence he had approached very nearly to her chair. At that mo ment she raised her eyes and in an in tent the question as to what relative or friend of hers was incarcerated within iho,o gloomy walls was solved. With :in anguish that no pen eandescribe the •4orrowing • woman sprang from her and.throwing her arms around the neck of the man ifi the degraded garment of a convict, and imprinted a kiss upon his cheek, she gave utterance amid her sobs and tears to the'exclatna tion—"Q, my husband! my husband !" and sanl back into her seat. It was sevcrai i \minutes before the emotions of the husband and wifecould be controied 4) as to admit of any conversation ,be tween Wein. When, however, their .feelings had become somewhat calthed f the manner in which the hte•band ques-: Cloned his wife in regard to the attitini of home, and his rapid inquiries about billittle boy, showed how dearly I,he prized the few preitious motuents he would be allowed to 'spend in eon vex satio4 with his "companion. Upon in quiry as to the nature of his crime we were told that he was committed- for forgery. It was his first ofrenecagainst the laws and previonsi to its commis:On he had been regarded as a worthy :Hid honest man. Tefirpted by the hope of obtaining a large amount of money, in an unguarded moment he yielded to the promptings of the evil one, and thus lklunged himself into difficulties that cannot he described, and his wife and family into unutterable sorrow. The wife, with a true Wthiliarti love and af eetion,still remainliirin in her attach ment to him, and tit ti lit less won Id cheer fql ly hhare hie pnaon men t i she could thereby shorten his ten years sentence. The interview we have attempted to de ist -Hite was the first that had taken place since the incarceration of the tivretehed loan It was such as to fore upon our mind the belief that the finked wife will die of a broken heart iielml s e the ex piration of his term. -e never witneAs another so painful a; scene.— Auburn Adrerliscr. • THE NATIONAL eItEDIT.--frile first bill signed by President Grant was "an act to strengthen the puhliti credit," which was passed by the House Of Rep resentatives by a vote of 97 •cus to 47 nays, and by the Senate 42 yeas to 13 nays.

On the contrary, we had no thought of • such a monopoly when we wrote. T he main object of the article in quesi i ion was to submit a teaching for the bezielfit of all classes of ml l n. We urged 'the people to " build well, and high, and strong." Our effort was directed against the danger of favoritism, the prefer ment of men of dissolute lives and blunted consciences. . Wo urged the distribution of patrOnage in such mann er as should represent sections rather than townships. nd we now add to that appeal anothe : Note for no man for a place of hon ir, trust and profit, whom you would lot trust to conduct an equally respo isible business for yourself. • We still hold that the. locality,of a candidate for a couty or State position should not be the first thing considered. Is he qualified, is 14 sober, is he honest? These three questions in one, take pre cedence of all others. But it by no means follows that all the competent, sober, and honest men reside in any one township ; or in any one of the di visions made by Mr. Hollands. We acknowledge, without a word of apolo gy, the justice of lis criticisms. Upon t the main point we must, therefore, abandon diseussioi . Upon the subject of representation' by locality, where' 1 that is ippssible, N o still hold that it. makes not a coppe 's difference whether a candidate for a iy county office hail from Bless, Lib rty, or Union, or Ward, taking tho 7e towns for ore 10-,, cality ; or from C vington, Richmond, Sullivan,- Rutland Tioga, Or Litivrence, taking those districts for iitnother local: ity ; or from Nelson, I:artningtoiy, Elk; land, Osceola, Deerfieldi tci, Brookfteld, and Westfield, tailing tllOB .447 ; 611001er locality ; or from (thatham, Middlebury, Clymer, Elk, GaTes,Shippen,Delmar, Charleston, Morris and Wellsboro, tak ing these for another -locality.

Hollands intends to place second to the former) unfit 1 men for positions of responsibility, it oversteps its jurisdiction. There IS - no under current whatever in the para graph of our article alluded to by Mr. Ilfollands. We said there, and we now repeat it, that " Tioga county interests are common ;" i a d what is good for one section is goo for all sections when looked at in its broadest sense. For ex ample: Anythin . which tends to de velop the mineral wealth of:13loss, Lib erty, Charleston i ', W ara , and Morris, is good for the re iotest northwestern Inwhithip In the county; especially is it gogd for makers of butter and cheese, and for growers °f. Patatkm 4 , and kith' I er vegetables. And As you cannotopen mines without men, you must have houses; and No the fraternity of ear penters is profited ; as you cannot build houses without lumber and iron, so the luniberman and hardware dealer are profited. And while this is going on, real estate rises in value, and all men are made richer. Thus, briefly. —And public business Is precisely like private business. coal company does not Select au incompetent, unrell able man to superintend its business.— I It does not inquire where the man was born, or -where he lives, but only—" is he the man for the place?" The mer chant who should select a clerk be cause of his locality, never inquiring about his fitness or honesty, would be marked down a fool. Now, the para mount object of our former article was to set out . these very facts, and to urge the masses . to act up to their highest and best functions citizens. Nothing is truer, as we observe things, than-that the cry of " township representation" is a whip in the hands of office-seekers to good the people into supporting a man - without regard to his fitness. As Mr. Hollands is not an office-seeker, of course he cannot apply these remarks to himself We give place to his communication cheerfully. Its-fact4are suggestive and its moral obvious. We think he mis takes about Wellsboro men holding nine county offices. We can count but three. The judges are district officers. However, that is neither here nor there. The subject chosen by Mr. Hollands is fair matter for criticism. If he can move the people to reform abuses he will have no sturdier co-worker than we.

But I will be a little more liberal, and will admit that your leader of the 21st ult „contains much sound advice and many judicious remarks; yet in the paragraph commencing—" Township litres are of little consequence," fie., &a., there id an wider current that rday be construed to warrant the present monopoly of the offices by ono village, awl to brand as demagogues those who desire that the "patronage should be distributed, where Possible, Po as to represent the population to bo served." The general public may not care, but the particular (loci, As you have made use of " Time at last makes all things even." The Puritans persecuted the Quakers, as did their persecutors, the " Establish ment." Grant, the Compensator, now appoints 18 Quakers to manage Indian Affairs. For two and a quarter cen turies the descendants of - the Puritans have worked their sweet and avaricious will with the Red Man. In that time it is quite possible that what little milk of human kindness there may have originally been'in the bosom of the In dian, has soured. Grant has done what should have been done a hundred years ago. However, you will now witness renewed outrage at the hands of the baffled traders. They are ignored, and they will sow dissensions among the Red tribes of the Plains. Let the Pres ident give General Parker carte blanche to hang every Indian trader on the Plains; when caught, and we see no reason to doubt the pacification of the Indians. If any man sells guns, pow der, and lead to the Indians, shoot him on the spot. Some weeks ago we said : " We have from the first, disapproved of the aboli tion of the,29th District and the unseat ing of Gamble. We denounced the at tempt to unseat Judge Wilmot, when, if you please, the Republican ox was gored. Now that the Demotrale ox is gored we fail to see any difference in tiro principle or the precedent, and so denounce that." —Which the Standard, Williams port, quotes, and asks, " why do you not make your disapproVal of the Her dic swindle unconditional and unequiv ocal ?" Well, haven't wo done it? It matters nora rush how many casuists declare that " there is no analogy be twixt the case of Gamble and that of Wilmot," we affirm, with a knowledge of both cases, and assured of the assent of every man of common sense, that the cases are exactly analogous. It was known that Wilmot would be re nominated and elected in the fall. To forestall the action of the people, the Democracy conceived the plan of break ing up that judicial District. Now the gist of the whole matter lies in the at tempt to make the will of the people of no avail ; and the wrong, in both cases lies, not in the " unseating" of any man, but in. the attempt to defeat the ex pression of the popular will at the polls. If the carping Democracy can muster brains enough to comprehend the principle underlying both transac tions, we shall be very glad. But whis ky and vanity appear to have absorbed all their powers of discrimination. We take pleasure in making public the following certified copy of AN'ACT Allowing j)arties in interest to:be witnesses. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives .of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That no interest nor policy of law shall exclude a party or person from being a witness in any civil proceeding: Provided, This act shall not, alter the law, as now declared and practiced in the courts of this Commonwealth, so as to allow hus band and wife to testify against each other, nor counsel to testify to the con fidential communication of his client; and this act shall not apply to actions by or against executors, administrators or guardians, nor where the assignor of the thing or contract in action may be dead, excepting in issues and inquiries devl sari( vel non and others, respecting the right of such deceased owner, be tween parties claiming such right by devolution on the death of such owner. 4 2. That a party to the record of any civil proceeding, in law or equity, or a person for whose immediate benefit such proceeding Is prosecuted or defen ded, may be examined as If under cross examination, at the instance of the ad verse party, or any of them, and for that purpose may be„ compelled, in the same manner, and subject to the same rules for examination, as any other witness, to testify; but the party calling for such examination shall not lie con cluded thereby, but may rebut It by counter testimony. 3. That the testimony of witnesses authorized by this act may be had by deposition or commission issued, as the case may require, with such notice to the "party to •bo examined, and to ad verse party, as is now or may hereafter be •prescribed by the rules of the proper court, touching the taking of deposi tions and testimony on commission. the word sections, T twill take tho liberty of ap plying it to explain my position. By referring to the 13:keno': returns I find that there aro in the Townships on the Tioga River and east of it, 3115 voters; in the Townships on the Cowanesque River and north of it, 1078 voters; and the re maining townships, making Wellsboro the centre, extending to the borders of the county, south and west, and to the rivet townships north and east, have 2977 voters. Now let us oxamino for a moment the following table of the three sec tions into ehioh I have divided the County (fol lowing as near as possible its natural division), and the number of offices bold in each : Voters, • Offices. Tioga River, 3445 3 Cowanesque, 1078 2 Wellsboro, 2977 , 15 In the above I have left out Ex. Congressmen, Ex-Judges, Internal Revenue officers, Sm., and when I state that Wellsboro, with its 225 voters, furnishes 9 out of the 15 office .holders in that section, can it be for a moment thought that by such a selection the best 'interests of the whole population is served? • And we are asked quietly to acquiesce not only in this, but in the assump tion of the right to recommend whom they please for offices in the gift of the Federal Government, without considering how much tho general public may bo discommoded in the transaction of their business. Thera is a diversity of interests in this County, although they may tend to ono common benefit of tho whole. I remember that the people on the Cowanosque a short time since, wanted some special legislation, which was op posed by those on the .Tioga, probably, because they could not seo a benefit to correspond with inc re ased taxation. AM again, how many of the inhabitants of Westfield or Brookfield, know that there is a population of 5000 in the• Township of Bloss, who do not raise a single day's Bread-stuff in a year; whose en tire dependence is upon the prosperity of the Mining, Manufacturing, and Commercial inte rests of the Connty? Can those Representatives and officers chosen from purely Agricultural dis tricts bo supposed to know What-is best for them, or to understand the nature of their wants like those in more immediate connection with them ?
