Law REroRM. The Reformed legal
code Of New York, which went into opera
ton last month, there is r,ost valuable
change introduced in the law Of evidence.
Hence6orih, in common law actions, no per-
son is 10 be excluded from giving evidence
on account Of interest in the event of the
slit. lii plain words, plaintiff, defendent,
and every one who knows anything about Q
matter in dispute, are permitted to fell what
they know, leaving the jury TO Judge how
much credibiliiy to give 10 their statements.
'rhisis is, however, no new principle. Il is in
use in every court Of the United States. Just
step on what is called The equity side Of the
court, and the parties in interest may testify,
but on The law sids, those who best under.
stand the cause of difference are prevented
testifying, on the presumption that their in
serest would impel them % commit perjury.
The New York c lde does away with the sb-
surd distinction between The rule Of evidence
in law aud chancery, and rightfully, as the
chahcery rule is BY far the most convenient
and searching. and il has never, that we have
heard, been supposed in practice TO encour-
age false swearing more than The more sus-
pcious rule Of common law. Reforms such
as this, however, giving so high legal and
legislative expression ofcon6dence ia popu-
lar honesty, ID assurance that mankind are
really advancing in morals as well as ma

Tho Slavery Conpromiss.

A"Compromisen Committee was select
ed BY ballot, in the U. 8. Senate, to settle
the dispute about slavery in Oregon. !,
was Committee which was, on the part the
South, represented BY John c. Calhoun, &C.,
on the part Of tho North by Jesse Bright, q
Kentucky STAKEHOLDER, though Senato'
from Indiana, end others Of like prejudices
The result Of the labors Of this, compromise
committee Is that Oregon is to be erected in
70 a territorial government, leaving the ques-
ton Of slavery to the decision Of The people,
but IN the erection Of California and New
Mexico, the territorial law disfranchis-
es the mixed races who have been received
as citizens from Mexico prohibits the gov
eminent Of the territory from legislating on
the question of slavery, (Which is put in the
section side by side with religop,) and
pledges Congress TO like abstinence from
legislating against the extension oft the Sou
thern domestic institution, and leaves the
question to be settled by judges ofshe ter
ritory, appointed by the President and SEN
ate ;judges yet to be selected, who will be
in no way responsible to the people OF the

Death Or Governor Skunk.

The philadelphia Ledger announces The
death Of Gov. Skunk, at Harrisburg, on The
2lsi uli. He died calmly and resigned life
with cheerfulness, in tho hope Of better and
happier state. He was poor, and leaves on
| ly about $4,000 TO sustain his family. The
country could well have spared amore bril-
liant man; Il had few better men 10 spare.
Firm and courageous in the defence Of cor
rect principle, in q venal time when princi-
lple is made the cloak Of gambling and disho-
nest politicians, bis loss becomes a loss tothe
nation, which may well set a value upon the
few who hold truth and righ, above wealth.

ever contended BY Wings that the war has
cost the country $500, 100000. Well, per-,

lasted over two years. would figure up rather
