This suit was brought promissory made by
the plaintiff in error, Samuel HOLMAN PAYABLE 10 one
G. Tool or bearer, and which by the latter trans
ferted by delivery TO the defendant ia error.
On the trial in Circuit Court defendant offered q
witness to prove that the plaintiff had the note
from said Tool at a game of cards played within the
state OF Mississippi and had 10y that meas acquired
the possession and title to the non ohitct
the testimony of this witness excluded and ex-
ceIGlOnS taken.
The proprety of this aco Of the Court constitutes
the only question prese died for consideration.

Is made pay able . bearer the legal title thereto will
pass 10y mere delivery that by the OF the in
strument y i PAYABLE to whomsOeyer NAV become
lawfully the holder of 1t: and that the bona nd hold

ties existing between the maker oblgor and the

". he CITY 81 Nlckshuig 81 Miss. Rep. 2l6, But
TINS principle, 1t is manifest Is notapphcable to
the case before Us. The object here was in
qulre into to impeach the consideration Of the
note between Tool, the payee and the maker. The
purpose was to inquire into the consideration upon
which the transfer was made; and 10 the title of the
Palhtf to put the instrument IN use, not for the
reason that no consideration. that illegal con-
slderaton passed between the maker and the payee
or holder, but the ground that the consideration
as between plaintiff and the payee illegal and
void.
That this was competent to be done was expressly
held IN Adams vs.. Rowan 81 al 8, :. a NJ, J24 In
that case Is was decided that If note given for valid
consideration and secured by mortgage be indorsed,
and the mortgage assigned upon Illegal consdera-
uon' snch endorsement and assignment are void.
and pass no title TO the lndOrsee or assignee. and
Z OF consequence That he could not recover on the
note or maintain bill 10 forecose the mortgage.
The principle then recognized l. the settled doctrine
OF this Court-Couter ct al vs.. Robertson, l4th, S.

| Neither is it the fault of the Teacher
who labors hard and faithfully to effect
as much good as possible in the limited
time given him. 1t is simply a law Of
nature that if the waste is greater than,
or equal to the gain, there is 30 advance.
If you work one day and remain idle two,
you will bever become rich; if you are fed
to repetition one day and eat nothing for
two, you will never become fat; if you
advance one step and 60 back two, you
will never reach the end of your journey;
(unless like the Irishnan you turn around
and walk the other way,) if water is rum
ming into cisterD at one pipe and run
ming out at two, that cistern will never
become full: if knowledge is poured into
your children for four months, and poured
out for eight they will never be properly
educated True it is better, nuch better
to have a school for four months, than to-
have none at all but it would be immeas-
urably better to have one for ten months
than for four. How then, is this desira-
bic object to be brought aboutl We have
corps of Teachers amply qualified and
abundantly willing to do all in their pow
er for the cause of education in Ssrouds-
burg, as was we'll demonstrated during
tue short time for which the public schools
were open last summer. The only question
is, how shall We give them a chance for
more extended sphere of usefulness, this
year. We answer partly by rigid and in
| flexible determination to collect our out
standing claims, Which are sufficient, when
paid in, to cancel all our liabilities, aud
leave balance of over hundred dollars
in the Trcasury,-partly by disposing of
property belonging to the Borough which
has lain idlo for years, and which, SO far
as bringing any income into the treasury
is concerned, has been entirely useless to
US. And then if those parents who have
been sending their children FROM home,
paying Gfty or seventy five dollars per
quarter, for no better advantages than
they can enjoy here,-if they will send
their children to school here, and pay to
us one half of the money that they have
been sending away,-ihcre is no reason
why We may not have school here, du-
ring the whole year, which shall be an
ornament to Siroudsburg, and pattern
for other localties,-an aid to the pres
ent, and land mark to succeeding gem
erations.

Some scamp has been duPing the far

potatoes, their enormous yield and free

kegs Of these potatoes to any part of the
country. This was sigued, Samuel B.
Scott, Hulmeville, Bucks County, Pa
This has brought about two hundred and
fifty letters, inclosing money and order
ing said potatoes. The swindler feared
to 60 for the letters and sent boy for
them. The postmaster was rot so easily
caught, and refused to let them go unless
Scott called for them himself He then
wrote letter saying that the commuDi-
cation made a mistake in stating his post
Office, that it should have been Yardley-
vile, and requested the letters to be sent
there. This request. also the Postmaster
declined to comply with. Many Of those
who have written letters, have now asked
tho Postmaster to return them, This he
cannot do, and has resolved to retain the
letters until be hears from Washington,
whittier he has written for instructions.

pact. The doctrine of State rights is
the doctrine of true liberty. Popular
sovereignty is the life-b blood of our free
institutions, and the palladium OF ouI
safety. Every patriotic inducement to
sustain those great principles should be
fearlcssly held out to our citizens, and
every unauthorized assumption of power
should be resisted with unceasing energy

Having nov discharged the duty iu-
posed on the Executive by the Constitu-
ton, cannot conclude without copgratu-
latug you upon the peculiarly favorble
auspices under which you enter upon the
duties Of the session of 1859. Few i'm
portant subjects of legislation press upon
your attention. Prudence, frmness,

guardianship of her fnauces-on the part
Of the government--are all that are re-
quired, under Providence, to ensure the
continuance and increase Of our onward
prosperity. Pennsylvania may then. at

Doleful Times in the Western Country,

The travelling correspondent of The
Madison (Wir) Journal gives a very
gloomy picture of his experience in tie
country. He writes:
"To travel around among the farmers
as we have done for the last four weeks,
and bear hard times repeated forty times
day, af an excuse for not taking a pa
per, or dayiug up old scores; to see men,
women and children in thrradbare and
tattered garment; paper pasted, boards
nailed Up, or old hats or old clothes stuff
ed into windows where should be glass;
to find country stores closed, or doing
very little; men working for their board
or mere triae; promises to pay, wheth-
er verbal or written, Of no account; men
even denying their own notes; to see the
closest economy practiced by all. those
whose large houses and barns indicate
means, as well as those living in cabins;
to hear the dolorous complaints of taxes
-one realizes the severity with which
the financial pressure is felt"
