How TO DIMINISH LTrrGATIoN.-Tho Round
suggestion that all contracts of puro credit
wherein one man willingly trusts another, be
taken out Of the Courts by being declafed un-
lawful. This would effect positive good by
reducing the mass OF litigation at loast one
half The paper adds:
Cases OF fraud would be fcwcr than they are
now. In the first place every one would Sc,
lect his agents and his debtors with moro care
in the second place Gduciary agents would be
bctter paid, because of a general anxiety to
get tho best; in the third place, agents and
debtors would bc moro faithful, because want
OF fidelity to trust would be punished by So
ciety with rcmorsclcssI. unforgiving cruelty
which injure it, and which are not punished,
or cannot bo reached by the laws-as witness
its treatment of fallen woman. Character
would have higher pecuniary value than It
has now, to the great improvement of tho
moral tone Of society. Many q rich rogue,
now trusted only because Of his wealth, would
find himself poworless to command dollar on
moro credit; on tho other hand, many an hon
est man, now scraping hard for living, would
find his services in ready demand at good pay.
So far from increasing tho number of frauds
the leaving Of credit to regulate itself and tho
enforcement of its own contracts would, at the
Same time that II lessened the mass Of litiea-
tion, improve the moral tone Of society by
giving honest men a moro equal chance with
rogues than they now havs-in fact, by put
ting them above the fogaes in credit and in
power.

as to leave him little more than one half his

rying Of all his J1con!
At least ono of these gentlemen making this
nocturnal visit is presumed to have been a
radical as the impression left by his foot In
the yielding clay shows that the breadth was
almost equal to Che length, While tho hollow OF

THE ExoHANoE OF PRIsoKERs.--The
telegraphic despatch from Gen. Grant
to Gen. Butler, in August, 1864, is re-
produced in the New York Tribune, Of
Wednesday, as forming part Of Gen.
Buffers report to the committee of Con
grees in relation to the exchange of
prisoners. The Tribune says:
In August, the rebels offered to re-
new the exchange, man for man. Gen.
Grant then telegraphed the following
important order: 1T Is Lard on our
men held in Southern prisons not to ex
change them, but it is humanity 10
those left in the ranks to fight our bat
ties. Every man released on parole; OF
otherwise, becomes nm active soldier
against US at once either directly OF
indirectly. If we commence system
of exchange which libera,es all prison.
ers taken, we have to fight on till the
whole South is exterminated. II we
hold those caught, they amount to nc
more than dead men. At this particu
lar time, to release all rebel prisoner,
North would ensure Sherman's defeat
and would compromise our safet,
here"
This is q clear avowal of a policy
and appears to relieve the Confederate
authorities Of the responsibility which
il has been attempted to fasten or
them, Of refusing to make an exchange

genics, there is considerable exhalation from
our bodies, and ut tho same time We absorb q
large quantity of the vapors of tho surround-
ing air. Two healthy young children sleeping
together will give and receive healthy exhala-
tions; but an old, weak person near a child
will, in exchange for health, only return weak

consumptive is q powerful and sure source OF
contagion, as woll as for men as for women,
and the more so for young persons. Parents
and friends ought to oppose as much as Is in
their power the sleeping together of old and

VIRerNIA.--The list Of registered vo
ters, thus fer, in the noble old, common
wealth Of Virginia, shows ibRt she is
yet white mans State. The Rich
mond Enc suirer has carefully compiled
q list Of the registered voters 10 forty
five Counties, which give an aggregate
Of nearly 81 600 voters, and, 10 these
Counties, the white majority l. nearly
10000. II 10 also to he noted that this
list embraces the leading populous cit.
les Of the State--Richmond, Peters
burg, Norfolk, Alexandria, DC, al Of
which gave large negro majorilies.
OF the forty Eve Ccuniies, thirty .one
gave white majorities, and the Rich
mond Enquirer believes that the full re-
turns from the entire State will exhibit
something like a similar proportion oi
the two races. This is gratifying intel
ligence, for although some Of the whites
registered may be Of the Hunnicutt
stripe, yet il Is pretty certain that the
conservatives Of the State win have the
control, and thus remove the apprehen
sion that the political in,riguefs and
rnischief.makers would carry the Old
Dominion into the fold Of the political
agitators, who have been necessarily al
work among her people. Shodld the
hopes entertained of the political com
plexion of the remaining Counties be
realized, the result will be hailed as a
favorable omen throughout the South.
