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

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

thereby shorten his ten years sentence.
The interview we have attempted to de

mind the belief that the finked wife

On the contrary, we had no thought of

was to submit a teaching for the bezielfit

These three questions in one, take pre

sober, and honest men reside in any
one township ; or in any one of the di

To the Editor of the Agitator—Sir: Many
years ago an highly successful Lawyer gave me
this advice: "never admit anything." 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 ?
Yours respectfully, HENRY HOLLANDS.
