^ The Usnry Law,
The advantages which will accrue from
the repeal of the usury law is beginning
> to be exhibited already. The immense
capital held in the hands of a few in the
large business centres and which has been
employ ad for the destruction of the agricultural
interests by extorting exorbitant
percentages upon advances made to the
planters to make crops of cotton, the
profits and stealages upon which went to
well the monstrous charges < f the factors
will now be more usefully employed for
the benefit of the State in investments in
factories and other enterprises which if
they afiord only a fair return upon the i
the capital invested will at least diversify
our industrial employments. A few large
capitalists in Charleston controlled the
whole banking capital of that city and
through it the whole cotton erop^ of the
8tate which was mortgaged before it was
made, and for the production of which
the poor planter bad *o borrow at the j
minora rate of 18 per cent per annum.
How disastrously such a system has
worked let the condition of the whole ag
riouJtural interest throughout the State
my. It is almost bankrupt and its hard
earned crops have gone to enrich the factors,
the merchants and the business men
in the cities who lived and amassed for
tunes upon interest, to say nothing of the
profits upon samples and the endless
items of tax upon everv hale of cotton
that passed through market were subjected.
Already are these cap italis^ turning
their attention^ the investment of their
capital to factories and similar enterpriser
which but for the euormous rate oi

would bare been done long since. Charleston
is inaugurating a long needed enterprise
which but for the employment of
Its capital in loans at these fearful rates
it would bare been established in years
"gone by. We refer to the cotton bagging
Jhotory fust started by some of the large
tad phlethoric capitalists of that city aud
which will donbtlcss prove a success and
pay a fair rate of interest. This will
be followed by other enterprises
6b like nature, and we shall not be surprised
to see a number of cotton factories*
erected within & short period in which
capital will more prefer investing in than I
- in lending to planters, all of whom have
been more or less rained by the immense
rate of interest they have been compelled
to borrow at in order to run their farms.
Ifce wisdom of the Legislature has* never
been more strikingly exhibited than iu
this regulation of the rate of interest
The planting and agricultural interests
, have cause to congratulate themselves
and to thank Senator Gary for the introdnotioo
and success of the bill that will
'disenthral them from the odious tyranny
of the monied power. Never was there
id linage an anomaly that while money
tu so abradant never was it so haid
4
hr the agricultural interests which is at
the basis of every otherapd which should
be the most solid and reliable security to
procure aeeommodation except at ruinms
rates. Verily has it been like kill?
the goose that laid the golden egg
when the cotton and rice planters are not
muincd through thick and thin by our
mowed corporations.
'
Startling developments are promised to
' be revealed when the Legislature reassembles
concerning the gigantic system of
bribery and corruption pursued by the in.
corporators of exclusive phosphate franchises
to get through their charters durkg
the Scott and Moses administrations.
It h raid that prominent and influential
firms in Charleston used bribery of members
veiy freely and as high as $125,000
it stated to be the amount distributed to
procure the charter of some of the coiup
alios that now claim a monopoly in our
Mfuiiw The sentiment in favor of a rcpsalof
all the charters seems to be all i
pemding and if the Grangers shape legislation
in future as they have done for
Hie past few weeks of the session of the
General Assembly the competition for
the free digging in all our navigable
streams will be open to any one who can
famish the necessary appliance*.
^iere has been anethcr disturbance on
tie Mexican border, and Governor Hubbard,
of Texas, has appealed to the President
for Uuited States troops to couie to
the aid of the State authorities. This
a
tine the quarrel is between Mexicans,
resident on our soil and other residents.
The disturbance grew out of an old contmversy
as to the right of Mexicans to
the use of certain salt lakes in Texas.
Quite recentl)' a new attempt to lev)' a
tell upon the salt taken from these lakes
vu made. An American, who was in
ome way mixed op with this controversy
killed an Italian who had espoused the
cause of the Mexicans, and was very popular
among them. The Mexicans attempted
to lynch the American; the Texas
State troops defended the prisouerand
domestic conflict ensued. There is no
danger of the two nations being embroiled
over the matter, nor is there any apprehension
of war on account of the Rio
Grande difficulties.
? ?
. The N. Y. Sun created a great commotion
in Columbia by publishing last
, Thursday a list of South Carolina bonds
classed as "good," "bad" and "doubtful,"
with the assertion that the bonds
had been so classified by the Bond Commission.
The members of the commis- .
+
*
sion at once denied that they lwd
made such a classification, the Ye port? be,
ing evidently gotten up for stock jobbmg.
i The Svmjiiix before this struck bottom
in many a questio able proceeding outhc
part of our officials aim many will bcH&ve
that the article in question is not so far
wrong as is asserted by the Charleston
papers'.
They have discovered a new way to
carry the election in Sumter county and
it works like a charm. Several ot the
j ballot boxes are reported missing and af!
ter he balance had been delivered to the
! commissioners the room in which the
boxes were stored was broken into and
the whole lot so jumbled up as to prevent
a count. It is reported that the republiI
can candidate was ahead, and the best

the outrage. The True Southron calls it
bull-dozing.
The snow storm which commenced on
the !8th in Bulgaria aod Koumania was
unusually severe and it is feared that hundreds
of Turkish troops caught on the
inarch have perished. Of a convoy over
whelmed at C'atroceni, a suburb of Buch
arcst, iorty horses and twenty nine men
were frozen o death.
Adjutant*General Moise has organized
three Divisions of fen Brigades and 208
Companies since the reorganization of his
office. When it is remembered that the
General gives all his salary to the State
for educational purposes it would not
seeui that he has been idle or that his of"
ficc is a sinecure.
We believe that there is area enough
in South Carolina, says D. Wyatfc Aiken,
to grow in a very few years all the tea
that the United States could consume if
we were systematically engaged in the
culture of the plant and the manufacture
of the merchantable article. And what
is more, we have all the labor that is necessary.
and the most improved kind of
labor, if that class can only be induced to
manipulate the product.
