Common Law Commissioners on Practice and
Pleading, who now, we trust, Zealousy en-
ploycd In forwarding their part of the work, we
shall from time to time direct our readers Rt.en-
tion in some little detail to the more important
portions OF this New York Code. At present, We
can do 10 more than give rapid sketchoi its prin.
cipai features the distinction between Courts OF
Cbancery md Courts OF Common Law is, as al
ready stated, abolised all the technical a. forms
Of action are wholly swept away, pleading IS re-
duced 20 q simple statement IN concise, lnteitlgt.
bic, and ordinary language OF the real grounds OF
claim or defense Court fees are put an end to
costs cut down TO the lOWestpO amount; the
whole law Of evidence is digested and amended
the abused exclusion Of the testimony of the par
ties to the suit is at end, and the principle IS
laid down not as our system OF excluding all eyl'
denco which may by possibility be worthless but
OF admitting every specie OF testimony winch may
throw light on the immediate subject OF Judicial
inquiry, leaving its value and credibility to be
tested by the observations OF counsel, the skilled
sagacity Of the Judge, and the practical good
sense of the Jury
Mr. Field one of the Commissioners by whose
ability this most comprehensive system of reform
was embodied into law, has lately been giving
before the society for the amendment OF the law
some very interesting details to the hitherto
ascertained results of its working. The best
proof of its is to be found in the fact that
it has been already adopted without change by
the States of Missouri, Mississippi and California,
while proceedings are at the present time being
taken for its introduction, with some trihing mod
ications. into the States of Massachusetts, Ken
lucky, Ohio and Tennessee. This result is con
elusive, even to those who might be disposed to
regard with suspicion the favorable testimony OF
one fthe authors of the change. From the posi-
tive evidence of Mr. Field to the admirable
practical working of the measure, we will take
but one great fact a in the State Of New,
York can now be set down for trial, tried, and
carried through the two successive stages Of ap-
peal allowed by the Code, within the space OF one
wear W. commend this fact to the attention Of
those among our men of business who have ever
had the luck to carry mercantile case into the
House OF Lords: of those among our landowners
who have ever had to litigate case of contested
succession in our Court OF Chancery.

TIE DEFEAT

Fonl wrong has tramplcd or the right
Vet sadly they misiudge the fight
who think that we have fought IN VAIN
,qss true, no wei. fought field we boast
iTis troe we wear no laurel hough
hut t is not true Though failing now
In losing this, that all is lost.
Think not that martyrs die in vain
Think not that truth so soon will taiii
We only bow before the gale,
We only break to form again.
These are but flashes which iorerun,
Az heralds of the tempest's power,
And serve to light the clouds that tower,
And show the storm has not begun
There groweth up mighty will,
And time will only give 1t force;
Though somewhat swerving III its coarse,
IL scndeth to an object still;
And toiling upward to the place,
Where shines the everlasting morn
Not fearing hate, nor needing scorn,
The vanguard of q waverng race.
Though vengeance was the battle.cry,
And fell revenge first drew the sword
More firm in act more true In word,
We seek nobler victory.
And all the failures in the past
But make the future more secure;
And bygone suf'erings ensure
The triumph of our cause at last.
Secure in truth, we wait the day
As watchers wait the morning light;
For time will only strengthen right,
The false alone need dread delay

depth of snow must now be some eighteen inches
