Any one not a lawyer who bat ever attempted to dig out, even irom tne ocsi iigesis ui the Laws of tbe United States, all of the statutes relating to an- crime, or those defining the powers and duties of Federal officers, regulating inland or foreign trsde, or pertaining to any other subject of Con gress legislation, and to comprehend flic force and effect of the numerous amend ments which are found at everj turn, will appreciate the value of a systematic revi sion, simplification and consolidation oi those laws which are in their nature gen eral and permanent, the grouping together ..fall ilm.a amtntps which' treat of similar subjects, tho omission of redundant or obsolete enactments, tlio reconciliation or i,ir,i;,tirii ihn snnnlv of niliiKsions. v 7 - " -j - - ajid Jhe.arranirrnicjit nf-tlui Iudi. -U""; titles. chaiiU-rs utid fcCTToTn so rTwiT iliii.t) be convenient !h itloreiicc. rac.i om, a ilhorixed ly the XXXI Ath (.imgw in lSCGyU now TuaUin rapid Jrogiess, the Commissioners appointed to do the woik having alrcaJy printed .the results of their labors under 13 of the 7G titles, and sent them out, soliciting from mem bers of Congress, and from Ilench and Bar of the conntrj, suggestions aa to improvements, in order that a better tno thod, if possible, than that now proposed may be developed. Twenty three more of the titles will be completed and dis tributed during the Fall. The plan is that adopted by the first Commission, of which the Hon. Cu'.eb Cushing was pres ident. The present members are Judge James of Ohio, Benjauiiu Vaughn Abbott of New York, and Victor C. Uarringer of North Carolina. Three of the t.art now printed (titles 2 and 3, treating of the Legislative atid Executive Powers, and title 73, of Crimes) do not propose many improvement or pretend to cover the results of complete and final research aa to all the subjects treated of. In most casca no amendments to the existing laws have been suggested in the notes, the objects being first to free the statutes from obsolete, repealed and manifestly redundant provisions, and to present them in the simplest form, follow ing, as nearly as may be, the original text. After suggestions have been re ceived . and considered, mnd the further progress of the work has given the Com missioners the needed experience which will enable them to determine specifically the form they will adopt, a report will be made to Congress embodying such amend ments as they deem necessary, and it is then expected that Congress will re-enact the whole, with, perhaps, some amend ments, tbus giying them the force of law and dispensing wit' the almost intermin able "8ututes at Large" In which the laws of the land are now buried. A short description of these three titles will Vgive H good-idea of thrmttonerlff wMclT the work Is to be done. -i Title 73, which trials of crimes, and which the Commissioners say in their "Preliminary Explanation" has been a dopted as a sort of general guide in the preparation of the others, complices niue chapters, viz : General Provisions; Crimes aittnst the existence af the Ciovasrnment ; Crimes arising within the Maritime and Territorial Jurisdiction of the U. States; Crimes against Jutice; Crimes against tho Operation of the Government (inclu ding Forgeries and Frauds, &c, Counte r Postal Crimes') : Official Misconduct ; Crimes against the Elective Franchise and the Rights of OitiEcns ; Punishment of Accessories, and Concern ing Discipline and Treatment of Prison er?. In codifying the laws relating to il.o Poniniipsionrrs snv that a classification under a legislative' power of general jurisdiction is riot very difficult, but when they come to- classify the crim inal enactments of Congress, the task is not so easy, the power hero encountered being one of special and limited-ttrnsdttp-tfon, deriving. all of its powers from a written constitution.

Leg iihuioB ob the eubjcci ef perjaryasnd for gery has boon very voluminous, no less than SO sepsrats laws having been passed lo relation to those crimes. The legltla-1 tire practice has been to fix the punish ment for perjury anew every time an oath ia required by a atatute. This practice the Commissioners propose to abolish, and in a few simple sections cover the whole subjeet. Title 2, treating of the Legislative Pow er, includes nine chapters, vis : Election of Senators; Appointment and Election of Representatives ; Organization of Meetings of Congress; Compensation of Members ; Officers and Persons in the Employ of the Senate and House of Rep resentatives; Form and Effect of Statutes; the Library of Congress ; Congress In vestigations ; Contested Elections. The only defect in tbe laws embraced In Chap. 1 to which attention is called.

The chapter'treating of the Library of Congress, contains many recomutenda tious for the government of the Librarian and the preservation of the Library. Title 3, including two chapters on Presidential Elections and the Powers and Compensation of the Piesident.briugs Into little space a great mass of laws, ma nv of which were lone aco obsolete, and all of which were to heavily loaded down with verbiage ns often to make tnuir meanin z obscure. It recommcuds the re peal of 15 existing statutes. v ; The drafts now printed are hardly fair subjects of criticism, since they are uot published as the final result of the Com missioners' work. They show careful and conscientious labor, and unquestiona ble industry, which cannot fail to give ns, in the end, a work of tbe greatest practic al value. N. Y. Jour, o Commerce.

CIIAStTT. We are told in classic history that an old paioter waa employed to sketch tbe Macedonian emperor, 1 be emperor had received a severe wound upon ths right temple, in one of bis famous battles, aad a large scar was left. The artist proceed ed to the work assigned him, and sketch ed the monarch leaning upon his elbow, with his fore-finger covering the scar. Ills ingenuity waa nuiversally applaud ei, aud he became more famed than ev er. So it is with genuine charily, which "covereth a multitude of sins." Instead of exposing tbe faults of others, and hold ing them op to scorn and ridicule, it covr ers them wun the finger of love, except when truth and justice require them to be openly rebuked. Tbe way of the world is to expose the scars of character, and set them off in more than their teal ugli ness. They are the subjects of gossip and keen satire in the social circle, and sparks of firo that are struck around of ten kindle into a tlatnc. How much more beautiful is that spii it which threats the failure ol others with forbearance, w hile it does not excitscauj.midntinn ot all that it) pood and true. This is the hai iiv w hich "snffi ic III- long and is liinil," and "doth no behave itself un- "eiuly," and ihiukeih no evil. .' HONOR WASHED IN BLOOD, Wo wish there could be a "new. depart- ... ... I L .1 - lire in Unit tone c.i society which up mauds that wonnded honor should be washed in hi man blood. The tongue, of slander is glib and ac tive. An evil word spoken in naste in indiscreetly convey c,d and. in its repeti tion, often exageiated. Bad blood is generated, and human blood flows, deso lating the household, leaving widows aud orphans the victims of passion, and wounded honor washed in blood smells no sweeter for the lurid ablution. These thoughts come upon reading the sad tragedy enacted last Thursday in j New Orleans. Mr. Uainey having oeen in business with Mr. Boyd, was dissatis fied wi.h his management, and spoke of Boyd as a thief. Boyd called on him and asked him to retract. Rainey refused. Boyd shot and killed him instantly, with out any warning or threat.- Both parties moved in reept ctable circles, lioja was a cotton prtss man. Rainey wai book kccTHrof V nationaH b roven, by being a mnraerer, (lor in law te is nothing else,) that be is not a thief t If he has never stolen before, has be not stolen a previous life from orphan chil dren which be cannot restore I Why was this killing t Because society had heard the whisperings of thie foul slander, and, unless Boyd killed the. man who called him a thief, his friends, and acquaintance would cut him as a coward and poltroon. How little there is of true courage in all this t How blamable the whole affair t And the surface of present society is rot ten with this polutcd principle. Men should learn that time wears out slander, and that rectitude of conduct gives i the J tie to cowardice. 1 here is true ftravery in-leaving ibe slanderer to- perieh-tBr his corruption . We need a "new departure" to correct ibis evil of socity, for the sake of widows and orphans. Galveston Bulletin.
