W It are the Code Commissioners Doing.

Immediately after the legislature had
appointed Messrs. Smith, Barker and
Darwin to revise the laws, and make a
civil and criminal practice act, these gen
tlemen apportioued among themselves,
the work OF the practice, to the effect,
that Smith should preparc criminal,
Barker ehancery, and Darwin law
practice act. six weeks ago they met and
are now in session, at Mr. Darwin's off ce
in this city, to mutually pass upon aud
perfect the individual reports, and will
renun vi til the same is done
Judge Smith has diligently labored
the ground Of criminal practice, and will
finish his report in week or two. No
radical change will be made, but much
filing in and cleaning up OF the code
will be suggested, and much improve
ment made in the practice. His great
ability as criminal lawyer, and his ex-
perienco as n judge, lead US to expect
much frou him.
Judge Barker, formerly Of New York,
considered an eminent chancery lawyer,
came down with full and deliberately
prepared chancery act--but having con-
sidcred Mr.. Darwin's system of civil
practice, he declined to recommend his
act, deelping the partial harmony Of law
aud equity procedure, proposed by Mr..
Darwin, preferable to the total scpara-
ton Of distinct practice act Mr.
Darwin's practice act provides that law
and equity shall be so far united that a
cause shall not be defeated merely be-
cause the party has mistaken the rene
dy to which he is entitled, but shall
simply be transferred to another docket
! 1t also provides that while many princi-
pies of procedure shall be common to both
law aud equity causes, yet they shall not
be mixed up and COMPOUNDED on the trial
Indeed it preserves to equity cases-un-
less the parties agree otherwise-thc
right Of trial by the judge, written tes-
timony and appeal on both facts and law
We believe these gentlemen have laborcd
diligently during the last three years to
fully mature their recommendations, and
we trust we may have better settled
system of practice. Mr. Darwin we
know has during that time much to the
neglect Of his legal business, devoted
himself almost exclusively to this work
The new codes of every state in the Tn
ion, aud the late practice acts Of Eng
land aud France, aud all the respected
decision on these codes, have been, at
much expense procured aud studied. lie
has also collected, by letter, from lead
ing legal mcn, both Of England and
America, large amount Of intelligence
as to the practical workings Of Great
Britain and the several States Of the
Union, and thinks he has made no sug-
gestions not supported by authority as
well as reasons. 1t is understood that
codifcation Of the laws Of the State vii!

Cookies Confession.

On our first page will be found the
confession of John f. Cooke, one of the
lIarpcr's Ferry insurgents. This con.
fession was read on his trial nd was
withheld from the public, because, as it
was said, its publication would prevent
the arrest of some Northern men who
we're implicated This, it will be remcm-
bcrcd, was just before the New York
election, whether it was done for effect
our readers will have to judge after read
ing the confession There is no Rep =
lican mentioned in it, and there is moth
ing that duplicates, surely, any Northern
man, even the "fadical aboiitiouists,'
whom Cooke says were alone inform cd
Of the Chatham Convention. Cookies
confession was got from him by Gcv.
Willard and others, with hope tina. he
might be pardoned, and to implicate
Northern men if possible, and while We
should look upon it with suspicion it is
fair to presume that he made out the best
case possible against Northern men. II
will be seen that the Coppicks and others
did not know Of the intention to take
lIarpcr's Ferry until the morning of the
day Oh which it was taken, their only
object was to help run off slaves. We
would not blame the Eirginians if they
should punish them for this, but we sub

ERWIN CoppIc. The Salem CO.. Re
publican publishes a letter from John
Butter, with whom Edwin Coppic lived
after the death of his father till 1850, in
which he denies IN toto the bad character
given the young man by the anonymous
correspondent Of the New York Tribune
from that place. lie says Edwin always
proved himself industrious and honest
while in his family, and since he went to
Iowa he had heard that he continued in
like manner to win the esteem and conf
dence Of his acquaintance.
We have no doubt the character OF
this young man has been unjus,ly ind
maliciously traduced. Whatever may be
the estimate placed upon the act which
has at last scaled his doom, thcre is nc
reason or propriety in blaekenius his
character previous to That tragic and un
