A Democratic Record.

The following condensed statement
of John Morrissey's court experience
explains the secret of his great popu-
larity with the PARTY:
IN RENSSELAER, COUNTY.
Twice indicted for assault and bat
terry. Once convicted and sentenced
to jail for sirty days.
Twice indicted for burglary. Once
convicted and sentenced to Jail for
si,rty days.
Once indicted for assault nth intent
to kill.
IN ALBANY COUNTY.
Three times indicted, convicted
and sentenced for assault and battery,
serving total term of nine months in
ALBANY Penitentiary.
IN NEW YORK CITY.
Three times indicted for assault 1oiH
intent to kill.
Notwithstanding this record Johr
went in by some 1900 majority. i
he had been lucky enough to xii
some of those he assaulted, his ma
jority might have been much larger
One thing must be said in his behalf
that he was not stingy of his money
in the canvass. 1t is reported tina
he spent SO, 900 among the b'hoys.

The following bill has been introduced into
the Pennsylvania Legislature, 10 enable par
ties to civil suits TO be witnesses in their own
cases. The law of evidence as thus changed
has been tried and found TO work well, not
only in England-where, we believe, 1t orlgl-
nated-but in several OF the States OF TINS
Union. While there are some objections TO
such law, yet every one must admit that
there are circumstances and facts connected
with many civil cases which can never be
satisfactorily brought before courts OF justice
by others than the parties to the suits. lneX-
plicable mystery surrounds many Il case which
:, few words from the plaintiff or the defend
ant could clear up:
GAN ACT RELATING TO THE LAW OF EVIDENCE.
"SEcrIox l. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House Of ReDreSentutiueS Of the Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania, in General assembly met, ana H IS
hereby enacted by the authority Of the same, Ihat
on the trial OF any issue joined, or OF any mat
ter or question, or on any inquiry arising IN
any suit, action or other proceeding IN any
court of justice i'll this Commonwealth, or
before any person having, by law or by consent
of parties, authority TO hear, receive ana
examine evidence, the parties thereto, ana the
persons in whose behalf any such action or
other proceeding may be brought or defended; j;
and any and all persons interested IN the same
shall, except as hereinafter excepted De COM
deposition according 10 the practice of the
court, on behalf of either or any Of the parties
TO the said action or other proceeding: Pro.
rided that nothing herein contained shall
render any person who is charged with any
offence in any criminal proceeding competent
or compellable TO give evidence for or against
himself or herself, or shall render any person
compellable to answer any question tending 10
criminate himself or herself, or shall III any
criminal proceeding render any husband COM
petent or compelable to give evidence for or
against his wife, or any wife competeni or
comnellable to give evidence for or against her
husband, or in any proceeding instituted in
consequence Of adultery, nor shall any nus
band be compellable to disclose any communi-
cation made 10 him by his wife during the
marriage, nor shall any wife be compelled 10
disclose any communication made to her by
her husband during marriage
1t is little singular that proposition 10
repeal just such n law is now pending in the
Virginia Legislature.

tion of rents could be brought about, would

scale of rents. He alluded to the objects of the
