The r__a|_—ture has made a long stride forward in tiie matter of simplifying tin criminal and civil jurisprudence of the times. At its last session an act wa» passed which permits, the prisoner ar raigned for murder to testify in bis own behalf, and the beautiful workings of this system have been recently most strikingly exempliiieil in a trial of whicli it is reported : " The testimony of witnesses left 110 doubt that the prisoner killed the person alleged; but, as tbo deed was done in the dark, no one but himself could know whether it was in self-defence or not. The remarkable simplicity and apparent truthfulness of the prisoner, his prompt and ready answers, freedom from all contradiction and equivocation, and, in tact, every test of truth, wen* so .strik ing, that the court, jury, and the crowd , Of listeners were ail convinced (bat lie Was fully justiiied in the killing. With out his own testimony, However, he would probably Lave been severely dealt with by the law." .Notwithstanding the old common law maxim, thai it is better "ninety nine guilty persons should escape than that onsiuiioceut man shouldsulier, "and tho various guarantees that every oppor tunity snail be uilowed the prisouer to establish his innocence, and thai be shall always be gtv«_ the 6«ne_t of the least doubt in regard to his guilt, we find that Tuvariatiiy thu prosecution is shown ( more favor than tho defence; if in no other way tjian that of having the clos ing argument and permitting the court to sum up tho fads ami influence the jury by the expression of an opinion with regard to tbe guilt or innocence ol the accused. There uro a groat many very odd customs and notions that forma part of the common law, which might be dis pensed with now, aud which, having ceased to have the f. ~*c e they once pos sessed, ought to Vn abolished. Society has changed e llU , elv wU ,., n the las( century or tv, 0) bul tho ol( , )ega , f()ni) and the. enigmatically, not to say fool ish, language in which they arc obscured nave undergone no alteration. We still retain the words and wisdom of mack- 1 stone; and the language of the law is now as diflicult to comprehend iv many I instances, even to those learned therein, as the language of the Choctaws or Chi nese. We sec no gootl reason why it cannot be simplified und made plain. Our statutes, forms, indictments, legal documents, rules of evidence, and every thing connected with the science, which is called the perfection of wisdom, can certainly be reduced to good modern English and made as intelligible to the most common understanding as the simplest incident of life told in words iSf one syllable. Discard till the dilDcjities of ancient Latin construction and all the iterations, reiterations a; a d superflui ties, and let tiie simple l__f_ _t stated ,„ brief-, comprehensive mid unmistakable language. We think the concession made to the prisoner, which permits him to be his own Witness, a very important and a very just one, und that it would be well to adopt it everywhere. The object of all trials is to arrive at the truth and all the truth, and the jury being the judges of the evidence, we cannot see how the ends of justice can be defeated by examining everybody who may know anything in regard to tin; matter in con troversy; and certainly the party accused ought to know better than any one else •»w far he is implicated, and whether j he be guilty or innocent. Hi* statements, of course, would always be taken with considerable allowance, ami the charac ter and manner of tbe man would have as much to do as his testimony in | H fJt_, cueing tho verdict of the jury. We trust therefore, thatthese important ameliora tions in criminal jurisprudence will n o t be conflned to any particular .State, or locality, but that the attention of our own legislators may be attracted to it; that Jaw will be looked upon every where more in the light of science, and our present system be remodeled, im proved, reformed ami simplified to such an extent that it will no longer lie a mys tery, and tlnit it may conform to reason and common .sense, and lie made so plain that every man who can read aud write may be his own lawyer. OLD VIRGINIA. We cannot find time to answer the tsttera sent us from various quarters, in quiring as to the best region wherein to settle at the South. We can only say generally tnot there aro inviting lands to be had at low prices iv every Southern State, and that we consider them all •llgible for settlement, from lower Dela ware down. We could not advise a "Western man to come East iv quest of a good bi. ni 1..11, nor au Eastern man to go West, since the chances are good on the lower Mississippi as well as on the , James, the Santee and the Savannah. Better look tlrst at the region nearest (ou, and if you are not suited there, go To Eastern men nnd Europeans, we —■neatly recommend an exploration of aa shores of the Chesapeake Bay, and aence through Old Virginia into North Carolina. We believ__lands can be bought there as cheap, all things con sidered, as anywhere on earth. These lands are but nix to thirty-six hours distant by steamboat from sill the great seaboard cities, which always atl'ord ample markets for their produce.
