tions. "What, allow a ntO0er TO swear .
white mans lie away" was the indignant
exclamation of those who adopted Judge
Taney's infamous sentiment, that negro had
no rights that q white man was bound TO
respect Throughout the South, there
fore, the slaves were excluded nom
the witness-stand, except 1t were to give testi-
mony against one another. A slave might
be murdered in the presence Of hundred Of
his companions, and not one Of them be
allowed to tell the facts in court Of justice.
One white person, even, might commit muir
der upon another in the presence of a score
of black witnesses, and If no white person
saw 1t, the murderer would go unconvicted
and unpunished. This state of things con-
tinued throughout the whole era of the slave
system. The overthrow of slavery, however,
struck some of the shaclkles ofprejudice from
the minds of the more liberal of Southern
jurists, and the negro was soon admitted to
the witness-stand in largely increased num-
Der of cases. In ONE, however, he was still
excluded, until the passage by Congress last
winter of that great statute of justice, the
Civil Rights bill, in which the axe was laid at
the root OF the matter by providing that no
persons testimony should be excluded in any
court on account of the color OF his skin.
There have been some restiveness and hesi-
fancy on the part of the Southern Courts to
conform to the terms of this statute, but in a
majority Of cases the reform is fully inaugu-
rated. Among other instances the following
is reported:-
Recently, in Ataa county Mississippi,
Samuel Winters was tried for the homicide of
negro The witnesses were negroes alone, and
not only were objections made that their
testimony was incompetent, but, this being
overrnled, the jury were urged to disregard II
as being unworthy OF belief. But the jury con-
victed the man OF manslaughter, and the Circuit
Judge, J. A. P. Campbell, elected by the people,
and held in the highest esteem, in passing sem
tence upon him approved of The verdict, aud
OF the admis sibility of such testimony as basis
of conviction"
Such an instance es this furnishes evidence
that the South is gradually escaping from the
dominion of set of ideas incident particu-
larly to the slave system. Prejudice is giving
way, and juster notions are beginning to
prevail Correct principles are commencing
to assert themselves, and the day is not far
distant when, under the benign influence of
freedom and education, the white people of
the South will themselves look back with in
credulity and wonder upon the views which
they once maintained.

Southern Progress with Regard TO the
Reception of the Testimony OF COIOred
People.
IT is cheering to notice, from time to time,
how the country is drifting away from the
old follies and fallacies incident to the slave
system. Probably there was no one point
upon which the slaveholding communities
were more thoroughly agreed than upon the
exclusion of negroes from the witness-stand.
To allow coIored person to give testimony
n a court of law or justice was supposed to
be long step towards that "nigger equality
which Is even yet such. bugbear to many
gnOrant people, North as well as South, and
