No Paper Next Week.
In order to enable ourselves and Printers
to enjoy a short relaxation, there will be
no pa| er issued from this office next week.
We will greet our readers on the 4lh Janu?
ary, 1871.
The Usury Question.
The Board of Trade in Charleston hare become
alarmed at the proposition to restore the
old usury laws of this State ; in other words,
the Board of Trade wish to hare South Carolina
the only State in the Union that does not
place restrictions on the interest of money.?
The Charleston Courier and Jfete* are also out
against the repeal of the Act of 1880, which
was passed by the Legislature as an experi
ment, under the plausible theory that unlimited
interest would cause capital to flow into
this State, and thus reduce, in the end, the
interest on money. Four years hare elapsed
and no such thing has been aocomplished'
and never will be aocomplished. The Stato
would be ruinod if capitalists abroad were ever
high rates of intercat. Whilst Charleston
apeculatora maj occasionally procure some
money by giving over seven per cent., it cannot
benefit the trade of the city, and never
will, because tbe feverish deaire of exorbitant
interest in tbe holders of money throughout
the interior of the State, and their unwillingness
to loan it, except at extravagant rates
because tbe law allows it, prevents the investments
of capital in productive pursuits,
and represses tbe prosperity of the whole country.
Charleston loses ten times as much by
the injurious effects of the law upon the eoun"
try at large, as she gains by the use of bor*
rowed money at high interest in the hands of
a few of her merchants and traders. Make
tke State prosperous, and you make Charleston
prosperous. Convert the State into a
money shaving shop, as the act of 18611 bids
to do, and you lessen produetion in agriculture,
manufactures and mechanical pursuits.
Can Charleston expect to compete with Savannah,
Wilmington or Baltimore, or sell
goods like those cities to our own merchants
and people whilst she favors a law that indirectly
compels her traders to pay 10, 16 or 20
per cent, for money, whilst the old usury laws
discouraged such things in other (States ??
How is it in New York, also ? Can Charleston
merchants borrow money at 15 per cent, or 10
per cent, and sell goods or carry on trade with
tbe interior of this State on as good terms as
New York, where money is only 5 or per
cent.? So long as Charleston olamors for aa unlimited
interest on money, it is a confession of
her weakness and inferiority; and the existing
]aw is absoletely calculated to perpetuate that
weakness and inferiority so long as it exists.
Whoever is in a strait for money in Charlesinn
And annlias in a uanUalai 1 a vnut a r
Fluall, for a loan, will ba certainly charged
more than seven per cent, for it, because the
law allows it. So, too, in most cases in the
country ; whereas, if the saine haiard to the
lender existed in the State as before 1866, and
which now exists in all other States, except
South Carolina, for taking more than a fixed
lawful per cent., it would be as easy, or easier,
to borrow at the lawful per eeat., ia aaost oases,
as at a higher rate. The law as it now stands,
stimulates the spirit of extortion with most 1
aacn, and most men are fallible and liable to |
the infirmity of taking some advantage of i
their neighbors necessities in the way of a J
made. Those who ate entirely above this, are (
seldom blessed with moch money to lend, (
though we have known a man to refuse more
than seven per cent, in former days, when voluntarily
offered on the payment of a debt, and
whan there was no risk in receiving it.
The fact is, Charleston has been the least
prosperous in the last fonr years of any elty on
the Atlantie coast, and if she manages to Ins
duee the State to keep up the ratee of interest
and continue to prevent money from being
invested in productive pursuits, instead of
shaving and speculative purposes, she will
sontinue inferior; she will suffer with the

Is e perpetual money atrike for higher wagea,
end money hea thia advantage over the laborers
atrike?It oan afford to wait longer for
employment. The heceesities of labor drives
it to succumb to reasonable wages?not so
with the money.
Money is a prodigious power, and is able to
take care of itself, and wber the State guaran- '
tees at least eeven per eeat. on its use, it bee 1
done enough. But some may say, if you do '
not allow mooey unlimited interest, it will go :
elsewhere out of the State. We have already I
shown that it encounters in other States the I
same laws against usury that we had before '
the Act of 1$66. No, money would be either
loaned at home, or be invested in productive
pursuits, if it was limited as formerly, at seven '
per cent. We have met seareely with any
one lately, exoept a few who have funds to
lend, that does not dosire tbe.old law of the I
State restored. We venture to say, that with

Congressional Proceed logs.
The bill of Geo. Butl.br for the removal
ol disabilities, with ite numerous exceptions,
bss been s good deal discussed In the House.
A majority of the Republicans sod the Dsmoerste
who hare spoken, both from the
North sod South, eeera to favor a more complete
emancipation bill than that of Butlbb>
and there are some hopes that a complete
removal of all disfranchisements may be
passed by a two thirds vote. In the Senate,
Carl Sbubx, Senator from Missouri, has Introduced
a resolution declaring that all disabilities
imposed by the 14lh Amendment
ought to be removed, aa the neeeaslty for
their eontlnoanee no longer exists. He supported
his resolution in a very able speech,
in whleh he discussed the late election campaign
In Missouri, that resulted In the
triamph of the Liberal Republicans, who
favored the removal of disabilities. He
itated, what is very apparent, that the people
generally as well as the Republican !
press of the United States, are in favor aow t
of general amnesty, and contended that It |
would strengthen the Republican party,
rather than injure it, which is undoubtedly
true.
Nothing definite has yet been dooe in the
revenue business. We hope for a rsduotion
of taxes that will be material, and would
like to see every internal tax done away
with, except the tax on incomes, whiuh

The greal^mass of the people, ninety

life from heavy burdena, yef the great eity
journal*, representing the interestof millionairea
and speculators, are allagaloet the tax,
and the journals published in villages and
email towns do not say any thing on the
subject. Let monied men feel the burthen
of taxation, and money will use its prodigious
power in behalf of economy and retrenchment
in the public expenses and
against corruption. But whilst the millionaire
only pays tax on his coffee and sugar
and tobaeco and clothing, no mors than the

which do not hurt him, whilst they oppress
all persons of small or moderate means. An

a great preserver of good government and a
protection to the common people.
Blahop Lynch in Greenville.
We do not remember that Greenville ever
had a visit before from a Roman Catbollo
Bishop till laat week, when Bishop Lynch
arrived in our city. It is a pretty good sign
of growth, when the servants of tha Pope
turn their attention to a town. There ia a
calculation of increasing population, and

Oentile, Protestant Christians, and all who
do not bow to the infallible I'ope, we hare
no unkind feeling or want of respeet for sin
cere indiridusls of that faith, be they bishops,
priests, monk or layman.
Bishop Lynch is a man of superior talents,
and fine appearance. He preached in the
large room of the Mansion House on Sanday
afternoon a sermon of decided ability
and interest and which was not of denomina.
tiooal character ; he had a good eongregation.
The Bishop had oonjented to leoture
on Monday evening in the Court Honse, on
the subject of the Eeccumenioal Council. The
state of the weather disappointed. He left
on the ears Tuesday morning, and is expeoted
soon to repeat his visit to Greenville.

doing anybody any good, haa absolutely
worked an injury upon those for whose
pretended benefit It was instituted, will be

time, but the Commiraiouer, not yet being

delayed. I am not auffieiently acquainted
with the committee to aay whether they
will connive at concealments or will drag
every thing into light. I hear, however,
there are too many influential persona im
plicated to allow a full ventilation of facta.

precedence to the summons of the in vest i

gain r?i?rned to jail. Col. Crew* was
again luattaiful and in high spirit*.
Judge Vernoo being in the City on the
14th in obedieuce to a summons of the
aforesaid committee, and the comm ittee
learning that the prisoners would, on that
day be brought before the Judge at half
past one on writs of Kabta* corpus, harried
up their report, and on the assembling of
the House, mo red the suspension of the
regular order, to give place to their report
The only specification, was, that Judge
Vernon had issued these writs informally,
some of them without data, others without
a petition, and others again in behalf of
parties before they had been arrested.?
Upon these grounds the resolutions to iu>peaeh
Judge Vernon of high crimes and
misdemeanors, were adopted by strietly
a party rote. The resolutions of impeaoh->
men! were hurried through, that notice
thereof might be served on the Judge in
Ccurt, to suspend his functions, and arrest
all further proceedings in the case of the
prisoners. Judge Vernon, howerer, notwithstanding
the notice, continued his in
restlgallone, and discharged all thf prison,
ers upon hail, after which they all disappeered
fiom Columbia in the shortest pos.
eible time. Here Col. Crews waa baffled
for the first time ; he becomes enrsged, sod
turns the rials of his wrath npon Judge
Vernon. On the next day, the 16th. Col.
Croa t introduced resolutions r? quiring Judge
Vernon to appear before the bsr of the
House, to show cause why attachment for
contempt of the House should not issue
against him, and was carried by a patty
rots. On the 10th Judge Vernon, on account
of aicknees, asked to appear through
his attorneys, Messrs. Tope A Ilasoall, and
was refuted. On the llih, lie appeared
and obtained leave to hare bia defence read
by Mr. Pope. It was an able and conslu*
sive VMidiealion. There was some points as
to facts inrolved, and the subject was again
referred to a committee. What will be the
verdict of tho House. I am at a loss to say.
The taxes will bo higher next year than
I this. In the absence of the rartv leaders, wo
succeeded in atuendh g the Appropriation
Bill by substituting 5 instead of 8 mill*, But
the amendment was reconsidered, nod lost
under party lash. Unless we can curtail
the expenses of the Government, the taxes
must necessarily be higher. We have now
