Free Negroes Competent Witnesses /"
Lonisiana.-We find in the New Orleans
Picayune Of the I7th ult., the report OF a
case decided in the Supreme Court of that
State, which settles the law in Louisiana
in relation to the competency OF free per-
SONS os color TO testify in cases in which
the rights Of white persons are concerned.
in that State that class of population are
competent witnesses in all cases. no odds
who are the parties. Judge KING in his
opinion says:
"Ourlegislation and jurisprudence upon
this subject differs materially from those
Of the slave States generally, in which the
rule contended for prevails. This differ
ence Of public policy has no doubt arisen
from the different condition Of that class
of persons in this State. AT the date Of
our earliest legislation as a territory, as
well as at the present day, free persons Of
color constituted numerous class. In
some districts they are respectable from
their intelligence, industry and good order.
Many of them are highly educated, and
the instances are by no means rare in
which they are large property holders. SO
far from being in that degraded state
which renders them unworthy Of belief,
they are such persons as courts and juries
would not hesitate to believe under oath.
Moreover. this numerous class is entitled
10 the protection Of our laws, but that pro-
lection would. in many cases be illuSory.
and the greatest Offences against their
persons and property might be committed
with impunity by white persons. if the
rule of exclusion coutendcd for were re-
cognizcd. They are also included in
article 226O of our Civil Code as compe-
tent persons to testify in civil Matters

JOHN PRlCIIE.T.


The Ohio Picayune says: "Mrs Swiss
helm has condeSce Hded at last to take her
husband in as assistant editor Of the Visi-
ter: but boldly places her name above his,
and calls herself the senior editor" Very
sorry 10 say, Mr. P!cayune, that you have
quite over-estlmated our powers OF con-
descension We profess to be the very
embodiment ofhumili,y and lowly minded
ness; but 10 become an editors wife, at
this time of day, passes our IDEAS of hu-
initiation. even on fast day. You must
think Mr.. Pick. we were very scarce OF
offers, in our hey-day, when he married a
fellow who, thirteen years afterwards, was
hanging loose on society, waiting for a
situation assistant editor to anybody's
paper! Such an employment suits a
youns man very well, while he rubs the
college rust off his manners, and prepares
for active life; but for man in the meri.
dian Of life. as Mr. Swisshelm is, to be
waiting for his wife to give him place, is
contempt. Such loaier could never be
divorces. We do beg of our cotem-
poraries to be easy on Mr.. SIS account!
He is perfectly able TO take care of himself
and us TOBIAS business of his own to
attend to that is more important, in a
pecuniary sense. than half dozen news
papers like the Visiter. There would be
a sad waste of bone and muscle in placing
him in an editorial chair. lie looks upon
quill driving as somewhat like tailoring
suitable for little women and small men,
such as ourself and the editor of the
Picayune; and could spare, without mis-.
sing it. enough self-respect. firmness and
decision of character TO save half dozen
such men as our Picayune friend from all
fear of being henpecked or eclipsed bv
their own or any other body's wives But
if circumstances and tastes were so far
different from what they are, that it would
be suitable we should be associated tope-
Their in the conduct of the Visiter. we
would place our name before his. ALTHOUGH
he is our senior by good many wears.
and our superior in far more respects than
one. His being our husband gives him
no title of precedence in business we
understand better than he. The relation
OF husband and wife we recognize as one
Of perfect equality, and would scorn 10
sustain a marriage relation with anv other
understanding. He is not any more our
superior. IN some respects, than our pre-.
sent and former assistants are in others,
or the same. They are all stronger, lar
ger, and better mathemaiicians than we:
bat we can write editorial to suit the Visi-
ter, take care of baby, and bake bis
cults better than any Of them. So, when
ever we come in competition as Vister
editor. baby tender. or biscuit baker, we
will boldly" take the precedence.--Pilts-
burgh Vtsner.
