THE RESULT.

Since the election the hot blood has flow.
ed back from mems heads, and they talk a.
gain with reason and candor. Governor
Johnston played a bold and reckless game,
and did all that could be Gone for his case
But his election three years ago was secured
by means which cannot be used twice in
succession. The promise of better times
under a change of administration deluded
people once, for it is easy TO operate upon
the restlessness.and dissatisfaction of man.
skird; and politicians like Johnston we'll un-
,derstand that trick. But Pennsylvania is
democratic, and there is much truth in the
remark which a candid Wing made a few
days after the election.-sIt is not often
that we can elect a candidate and then we
must hurra him in"
But it was a mistake in Governor John
sion 10 go before the people and make light
of a solicitude for the peace of the commu-
nifty and the perpetuity of the republic. 1t
rs our highest satisfaction to see that the peo-
pie of the keystone state will not suffer a
feeling of patriotism to be ridicuIed, even
by a Governor when he decends down 10
play comedy from the hastings. 1t is no
false alarm TO say that there is dsnger and
mischief when the old political parties Of
the country are in some states annihilated,
and a strong new party rears IFS head and
openly pFociaims disunion and secession.
Within less than a month elections in seve-
raj states Of the Union have turned upon the
question whether there shall any longer be a
Republic of the United States and even in
Pennsylvania while Johnston was ridicullng
call the little Union savers" a deliberative
convention OF steady sober citizens by reso-
luton declared anew the old reasonable
doctrine that the constitution of the Ameri-
can Union was a league with the powers of
darkness in the neither world. At euch a
time, AID when a mischievous question and
dangerous men are heating up impfacabie
feuds TO sever fanatics and churches, ii is
no idle cant 10 cry out with a warning voice.
And then TOO 1t is ever better 10 be warned
of danger loo soon than loo late.
The present victory in Pennsylvania has
many happy results, and not the least of
these is the security it gives that we shall
next year elect a Democratic President Of
the Union and thus give a double guarantee
of the safely and perPetuity OF our Tepub-
lican institutions.

THE ELECTION.

The official returns of Philadelphia city
and county show that for Senator Washing
ion J. Jackson the Democratic candidate is
defeated by Hamilton a half-breed Wing and
Naive. Five of The Democratic members
are defeated by a similar combination oil
fag ends and factions. Six of orr nominees
are, however elected.
For Judges OF the District Court Strou
and Sharswood who were nominated by
both parties are of course elected. J. Clark
Hare. Wing, is elected over Findlay, Dem
ocrat, for the other Associate. OF the Com
mon Pleas, Oswald Thompson, Wing, is O.
lscled President, and VIM. D. Kelly, indie
pendent Democrat, and Joseph Allison, Ma
tive, Associates. The Wings at first; nomi-
mated Thompson and Thayer both Wings,
and Kelly Democrat, but the Natives would
not be satisfied, and so the Wing convention
was again called together and it choked of
Thayer and nominated Allison, a Native A.
merican, By this despicable manouvre the
Democratic nominees were defeated.
Of the Row officers the Democrats elect
only the Coroner.
In the City the Dutch have taken Holland
as usual.

Ill Treatment Of witnesses.

In loo many instances, the badeering and
browbea,ing of Witnesses while under exam
~inalioh, by lawyers engaged in the trial Of
cases, is a matter 10 be complained OF, and
almost everyone has had an opportunity o.
observing the ungenllemanly and improper
treatment to which they are sometimes sub
jected. As has been correctly observed by
another, the courts allow too much latitude
TO the bar, and, not unfrc quently, lawyers
who have earned the character OF sharp and
adroit -cross-examiners abuse Witnesses for
the express purpose of confounding and an
noying them into something preludicial TO
the cause of their opponent. BY continual
hectoring and hair splitting, the honest wit
ness is often entangled In a web Of inconsis-
tency, just plausible enough to affect the
opinion of the jury TO his prejudice, and the
lawyer chuckles at his success in perverttng
the facts Of the case from the mouth Of the
witness. Sometimes the character Of the
witness is aspersed by the attorney, and he
is compelled to stand in tho presence of his
assailant, deprived of the opportunity and
the right 10 defend himself before court, the
jury and spectators. The aspersions and in
uendos may be most unfounded, but tine in
jury must go unredressod. The legal exam
liner is shlelded-lhe witness is unprotected.
Courts should stand between the witnesses
and the u~nprincipal barrister who looks upon
a lawsuit as a battle 10 succeed, in which he
is at perfec, liberty TO use false lights, false
Intelligence, every soH OF amouscade, and
the lowest order of tickery. Honorable
members Of the profession scorn such con-
duct, aud to take such advantages.
Legal pugilism, in which the defenceless
witness is the object of attack, is disgraceful
to he c~ross-examiner. To such lengths,
however, is this bullying, hecioring, and
truth-perverting mode of examination some
times carried, that a man of acknowledged
veracity and sense, when he took the stand,
has been obliged to confess, that when he
stepped down from it, he had proved himself
neither tho one nor the other. This dispar.
agement and abuse of witnesses should be
ieiofiieu dltOSelneT. CUuftS bliOulu sci q
higher standard for the bar. Unruly and uu-
~gentlemanly members should be cuibed.
The feelings, character and rights of witness
SEES should be respected. Good breeding de-
mands it and justice should enforce il.
We speak only for an abused class, and
would not pander 10 any prejudiccs which
clamors against lawyers. We have no sym
pa,hy with any such spirit. Asa cotempo-
rary truly remarks, "lhe profession of law IS
an honorable one. II is an elevating and en-
nobling profession when lis duties and res
possibilities are rightly appreciated. And
we should rejoice to see the day when the
work of brow-beating and maligning witness
ses, whose honesty and truthlulness there
can be no reason to question, will be left to,
and be the appropriate vocation oaly Of, the
pettifogger and slanderer, the hanger on the
tail of a profession which he disgraces, and
whose insignifcance only prevents him be-
ing summary stricken from the r~olls.""

Wants War.

The N. Y. Sun, on the authority Of a pri-
vate letter from Madrid, states that her au.
gust iadyship, the Queen of Spain, ina re.
ply TO a petition from a Caban, for certain
concessions 10 the i'll governed island, said
that she deeply regretted that she was no,
the mistress of her own desires, or she
would at once declare war against the Uni
ted States, come what might. 1t is well
there are some wiser people than herself in
The limits of her dominions, or the poor dear
little stupid might be accom- moda,ed TO her

her glorious majesty the indulgence of whim
on this occasion. The desire for war, how
ever, is said to be universal in Staln, by the
same writer.

A Noble Act.

The Society of Friends separated in New
York in 1928, and both divisions have been
kept ever since. AT the time of the separa.
ton that property amounting to some $50
900, was ajudged by law 10 belong 10 the di.
vision known as Hicksiies. A few weeks
ago the Hicksites held their yearly meeting,
and agIeed after a full consideration of the
matter, TO pay over TO the other division
commonly called Orthodox, $o5,noo, or one
hall the estimated value of tho property al
the time of the separation, which has accor.
dinghy been done. We consider this an act
worthy of the higher instincts of Christian
liberaliiy, and deserving of all praise.

Bank of Frace.

The largest pile Of Specie in the World-Ac.
cording TO a recent return of the Bank o.
France, the specie on hand am ounted &c
GOT millions of dollars. This we believe is
the largest amount Of specie ever collected
together. The Bank of England has not had
at any time, ever 100 millions.
In France, the legal currency is silver
hence it is probable that nearly all this spe-
Gle is sllver-and hence the recent diminu-
ton Of silver in this country.
The enormous accumulation of silver in
the Bank of France is regarded as an unfa-
vorable symptom of her trade-for the dis
counts and circulation of the bank have d.
mished. Hence trade is siaguant. 1t is
probable that the fear of political convul-
sion at the next Presidential election oper-
ates powerfully on the bank ard on mer-
chants 10 restrain them from an expansion Of
credit.

Negroes in the Free states.

The New York Express, in referring 10
the conduct Of the abolitionists in Syracuse,
on the occasion of the late riot, says hat Il
now begins TO be time to agitate another
question, aud that is, the exclusion BY law o.
The immigration Of blacks into the free States,
as Indiana has already done. If every run
away negroi is 10 bring with him a Syracuse
fight, the Express demands that they forbid
nesros by law from coming 10 New York.
They have in that State already prohibited
them from voting unless they have a large
property qualification ard, no doubt, says
the Express, a majority to prohibit their en-
try there could be 90, just as large as that
which prohibited them from voting. We
cannot afford 10 make the free States a bat
tle.sround for runaway negros. Such sug-
gestions as these are of grave import 10 the
colored people every where, 10 those in the
slave States as well as others, and would
seem to imply that colonization is the best
thing for them 10 look TO ultimately for self
preservation. We are glad to see that in
New York aud other quarters they are be-
ginning 10 realize this thing for themselves.

Bankers Dodge.

A verygood story is told Of a little sharp
practice on the part of the Cashier of the
Peoples Bank Of Patterson. The morning
this institution failed he went 10 Philadelphia,
expecting TO make arrangements 10 go on as
usual but his agent there very properly re-
fused 10 redeem the bills unless previously
supplied with the needful, which was not
forthcoming and the Cashier accordingly
started on his return TO make preparations
for closing the banks.-On arriving at Jersey
City he found qnile a number of brokers
collected, who had got wind of the trouble,
and were on their way TO Patterson TO secure
il possible, the redemption Of the bills in
their hands. The train started, the hungry
bill-holders seated in the cars, and the Cash
Ter, who is President Of the Railroad Com
pany, standing with the engineer on the To-
conceive. After a run of q few miles, the
bolt by which the engine drew its burthen
was quietly withdrawn, AMI the locomotive
carrying the Cashier, shot onward to Patter-
son, leaving the cars TO follow at their lei
sure. IA soon as he had taken leave OF his
passengers, the engineer put back 10 bring
up the train, and found it al a dead stand in
an interesting locality where the passengers
had abundant iime and opportunity 10 exam
inc The scenery, and cool the fever OF their
Impotence. When the train reached Pat
terson the score of brokers rushed TO the
bank, but found il closed, with an interesting
placard attached 10 the door.
