The Usury Law.
Wt are pUued to mc ik?i Vauu O.
Wilem, bq., OhilratB of the Judlolary
Committee In the House of HiprjmUlitu
of Booth CtrollM, ho* Introduced a bill to
repeal th? mt of IBM, *hich vh t repeal
of lh? old low* prevailing usury. The bill
trill lueceed, ii oar opinion, as it oOght to
do. All moo engaged in industrial puteulu,
planters, farmers, menu foot nrer* and
mvniDMi, ana id* common laborer* of lb*
country, will U benefitted by the restoration
of tho old law. Tbons few oiticeoa
having money to land, and apeculativa bor
rower*, mora or laaa, will favor lbs unlimited
interest on money. It should ba remembered
that th* speculating claeaca ad<l
nothing to'tha Wealth of the State, aad
prevent capital from being invested in productive
pursuits. There is no safe and legitimate
business in the State that esn return
a good profit to the man that carries
it on, and pay over and above seven per
cent. on borrowed capital.
But, It ia aaid, why not lat every man
get aa much interest on hie mon*y as ho can
get people to agree to give, the same aa
other people get as high prices for their
property, as they can obtaio f We answer,
that high, usurious rates of interest, (if we
may use the terms,) being manifestly da*
struclive to the productive business of the
eountry, the public good requires the re'
tralute of lew to be imposed upon them, ne
nil experience has shown In tbe history of
civilized Steles. Every othor State, we he
ieve, in this Union, besides South Carolina,
Kaa limit *<1 iKo 1*.? *
? .-V? >? isi^irn UII aunocy, or, 11)
other words, here laws against usury. The
set of 1866 was an experiment, upon the
theory that it woold aid in bringing oapi
tal into the Stale This has proved utterly
fallacious, and always will. Capitalists like
profits, but like security for the principal as
well, aod do-large capitalist will lend
money on long time at extravag-u'. . avcs of
Interest, where the loan is to individuals.?
But those under the necessity of so borrow
Ing cannot possibly secure their confidence,
and confidence is indispensable to move
capital. If a borrower has safe collaterals
to insnre a loan, he Is not going to pay high
ioterest, for he would prefer to dispose ol
them for the money, rather than borrow
and pay for a year or two more high rates
of ioterest. Besides, it is perfectly aatural
that u capitalist io New York or Boston
would lack confidence in al! the citizens of
a State who would try and tempt them to
loan tnoco/ by promising eztravagaut inter
est for it There is another reason for the
law to fix limits on the interest of money,
and not on the price of oilier property. It
is impossible lo regulate tlic pnoe of cotton
and corn and manufactures, and the wages of
labor, by law ; and therefore the law does not
undertake It But it is possible, as well as
necessary, to regulate, or to have a fixed
standard for the interest of money, and this
is done all over the world. The money
lender, or debt bolder, therefore, in every
State, has the assurance oi law that lie shall
always receive at least a certain profit on
kit money, varying In different Slates.?
With us ?t is seven per cent But the la
borer has no such assurance of profits on
| his lsbor, or the producer of any certain
profits on hie produce. Ttie lender or the
debt holder has in this an immense advantage
over the producer, or owner of any
kind of property. If he takes advantage of
the distressed condition of the couutry, or
of pari:.c-l_r individuals, to exaot more
than 'he lawful per cent, let him be diecour
oged by the risk which the usury laws provide.
It is very true that there are exceptional
cases, where a person may borrow
money at a high rate of Interest, and protect
themselves fiom greater sacrifices ?
But the general good, and the general policy
and welfare of the State should never
be made subservient to the interest of the
few, or to sffotd occasional benefits to par
licular individuals at the expenss of the
masses of the people
We repeat what we have said on former
occasions, that the repeal of the old usury
laws bp the act of 1866 is doing damage to
the State, and will continue to do damage,
by confining loans of money to speculators,
or to men in desperate circumstances, who
will seldom benefit themselves or any one
else by the use of it; and, paradoxical as it
may appear, the big rales of interest prevents
the circulation of capital. It keeps
up the expectation in the holders of money
of receiving extravagant rales if interest,
so much so that they will not loan it without
making such contracts, and very often
ib uiua iioaru.u ana Kept GmcK lron>
circulation because do one will give m l?ri^e
p.-r cent. Whereas, if the law made the
taking over eeven per cent, hazardous, they
would place their money in the hands of
those who would circu'ate It In bueimM ep
orations, or they would invest it In manufactures,
or in some kind of property. We
shall not make much progress is manufacturing
whits* the- act of I860 remain* in
force. The real bueiueea man, be he manufacturer,
fermer, mechanic or laborer, cannot
compete with the speculator or
rate man, who may offer more than seven
per cent. f?r the use of money. Seven per
eent. interest is enough, and its accumulations
on dehta appalling tDough. The law
should not give the fortunate possessors of
money to lend the power sf tempting the
speculator or the unfortunate to contracts
for high interest, nor should cspilal be
driven or withheld from productive pur
uita.
We hop* thr bill of Mr. Wii.ku will toon
put into en Act.

tbs money drawer, about eight dollars*
stolen. The th ef also carried sway with
him some ten or tw-lvo dollars' worth of
cutlery, obtained from the show case. Before
leasing, the tliivt took a holt of drill

it is supposed he carried into the store with
him, left it to burn, selecting a place the
most ignitahle. Fortunately, It was discos

Strong suspicions are entertained as to
who the guilty party Is, and the matter is
being looked into. We hopo he will be
caught.

President Grant's Message.
The Message reached Oreenrill* last evening.
There is not much in it. The most
pleasing part is, that bo gives into the idea of
revenue reform, so as to noalry provide for
actual Government expenses, and the payment
of the interest on the national debt, and seems
to abandon the schease of paying off at onue
any part oi the principal. Wo will present

The delay may hare b??n due to
the Speaker'* desire to form the eomraittaaa
with reference to the capaelly and fltneaa
of member* for their taep?etice a**fgnmciita;
but there are aoma who think that
poMibly the United Siat'i Senatorial election,
to come off next Tuesday, may hare
had something to d?? with the eompoeition
of raid committees. Certain it ia that the
members of the Reform p>?rty hare bean
aligned to tha least Important eommilleea.
Several Mils have been introduced look*
Ing to economy In the administration of
public affairs. Dr. Doyle, o* Oconee, has
introduced resolutions instructing the Judi?
ciary Committee to icport a bill providing
for the assessment and collection of taxes
by one man, with a salary proportioned to
the labor reaulred. Col Crittenden, of
Greenville, also introduced a resolution in*
structtng the said Committee to report a
bill to reduoc the salary ot County School
Commissioners and the pay of County
Commissioners to a sum proportionate t_
the services performed. Col. Crittenden
supported his resolution in a forcibl"
sp-ech, and achieve i what I have seen no
other s|>eaker do?ha commanded rtlenee
and the respectful attention of the House
These resolutions, looking to retr*nehmeot,
I think were received favorably by many
of the Republican*, and. taking inloconsid
eration the Oovernor i recommendations in
this behalf, there wem? to be a reasonable
ol simplifying end cheapening the
in ichiuery for carrying out the laws Notices
of bills base also been introduced to
reduce the pay of the members of the General
Assembly, and also the salaries of aevsral
State officials. All ibis is In the Tight
direct, on, but whether we shall succeed in
getting iliem through l? yet a problem?ll
depends upon the amount o| conservatism
and good sense hereafter lo be developed in
the Kadioal parly. It is rumored here today
that the Ulna ltidge Railroad Company,
having failed lo find a market for their
bonds, have turned over to Mr. Steers, the
contractor, $2,000.u00 worth of the Company's
bonds, endorsed by lha Stale. Mr.
Steers, on Ida part, engages to sell the
bonds, and has given security for the faitlr
ful deposit of the procec Is of sale. As the
work progresses, he is authorised to draw
on these deposits, upon certificate of the engineer.
