DEFAULTING CoLLECToR.-Th Harris
burg Telegraph says: ''T e hear that a rev.
enue collector in anadjoining district is now
thirteen thousand niue hundred dollars in
areas for taxes actually collected although
he was removed oy President johnson some
three years since, yet he has been permitted
to retain the money; but we learn that the
acting commissioner has given orders that
the money must be collected at once. This
is right and proper. The taxpayers demand
that the money paid by them must 90 in the
treasury, and not into the pockets of dis
honest collectors. The money thus dishon-
estly withheld from the Government onght
to be collected nox without delay, with the
proper interest added; and it would be well
TO prosecute criminally. 1t is somewhat
singular that some of these dishonest eolec-
tors are constantly using their newspapers
to impress the public with belief that they
are models Of honesty.

His visit to different points in Tennessee,
and his speech milking, and the announce

States in turn, are but parts of the plan as
it was agreed upon before he left Washing

than ever, stimulated by thirst for revenge.
At first the Governorship of Tennessee was

Brown. one of the robbers of the Treasury
of Coshocton. county. in 1858, was convicted
several days ago. Brown, banker, con-
spired with ketchum, the Treasurer, to
take the county money, aboat 500, 900, and
to give 1t the appearance of a robbery.
ketchum was left in the office bound ana
gagged. lie was a Democrat. and there
was then Demoiratic Legislature in Ohio,
visitation which comes once in ten wears.
which in most suspicious haste passed an ac,
to relieve the Treasurer Upon this he had
the effrontery to sue the STATE Journpl for
libel because it commented on the suspicious
circumstances and demonstrated against this
hasiy action. This suit was continued along
Tor years ami finally allowed to die. The
county spent $4,000 in trying to ferret out
the robbers. At length Ketehum Guarreled
with Brown because he kept the lion share.
and exposed the whole affair. Brown i
said TO be worth SlGA, ,oo0. He was sen
fenced To ten wears in the peni;antiarr and
to pay fine of S40, G01.

COMMENCING ARIGHT-The State Tenn
perance Union are striking the nail square
on its head, in organizing their movement
to carry on the Temperance work from a
religious basis. They find their fields of IA
Dor in the pulpits and Sunday schools, and
their weapons in the moral law. They evi-
IDENTIFY perceive that this Temperance ques-
ton must be transferred to some forums
from which politics can be altogether exclud-
ed, in order to justify a reasonable hope of
their fna success. The campaign of 90 in
this religious field, has been opened along
the whole line, and is to be vigorously fol
lowed up. On the 30th of May, every clergy
man in Pennsylvania is invited to preach
Temperance serno on, and to ask contribu-
ton from the people for the cause.

Competent Witnesses.

In reference 20 the act passed by the Leg
islature, making parties in interest compe-
tent witnesses in civil suits, the Pittsburg
Gazette Of Wednesday remarks: Hereafter
the parties in interest in all litigations in
the Courts of this Commonwealth, may offer
themselves as competent witnesses in their
own behalf. A party cannot be made wit
ness against his own consent, but in Offering
himself, of course, is exposed to the legal
cross examination.
To be competent witness IS one thing;
the question of his credibility is a different
law suffers to go on the stand at all his
credibility relates entirely to the value OF
his testimony. The competency is ques-
| tion of law for the court /; that of credibili-
ty is one of fact for the jury. BY the new
law, the parties themselves, who were here
tofore entirely excluded as incompetent, may
now testify in their own behalf, and jurors
will give them credibility, to be varied by
the circumstances.
This is decided innovation upon the
of the profession almost universally accepts
the experience which, in other States, has
established the merit of the change. In
Ohio, similar rule has prevailed for years,
and Binety-fve per cent. of the Ohio bar
are agreed that the ends of a substantial
justice arc thereby subserved. An extended
trial OF the new rule in civil causes finally
| led to its incorporation in the criminal law
O. the State, but without beneficial re-
suit to any corresponding degree. But it is
to be noted that the criminal, witness in
his own behalf in Ohio, usually does more
harm than good to his own case. In that
view the ends of justice are so far promoted.
The new rule is wholly confined TO civil
causes in Pennsylvania. We shall find that
where one party tesIiies, the other will do
the same; the jury will find the truth,
usually. between them, and, not seldom, the
evidence of one or both parties will contrib
ute materially to theelucdationof the facts.
There is no reason to fear tn, Inauguration
of any general system Of perjary. 1t is found,
Of experience, that the parties in interest
are really, rs a class, the most cautions and
timid Of witnesses. They know that the ad-
adversary is equally familiar with the facts,
and that swift contradiction will follow
niisstatement, and that a vindictive punish
ment will pursue to the fain;est shadow of
perjury. We are confident, therefore, that
the new law will be found satisfactory to the
profession, and acceptable to our people.
