We observe since, that Mr. Wiuaa' bill to restore the old usorj lews, has been favprebly reported on kjtk.< Judiciary Committee. #e true* It will p*M, and so ptaee South CUvollna on en Y^ualtty with the other Statee in the matter el tnoeey lOAOS And investment*. The artele of the AWm Conner, alluded to wm published in the J?**/erprim of last week. We hope it received due attention from our readers. The Usury Question Again. The /t??? disclaims a went of regard to the general interest of the State in opposing ]ir. WiLKKfe' bill. We are mieenderetood by the fAeMta.v We did not intend to qMition ite sincerity at all, but merely alluded to the foot, that Journal* published in the larger eiliee, are apt to look at things in a purely { commercial point of view, sad partake in ajmpatby with tho traders, speculators and money operators that go to make up the city influences. We should expect the newspapers of Lowell, honestly to advocate a protective tariff on cotton goods, und those of Pittsburg, on iron manufactures. In soute of oar views, we have attempted to show that tho papers of Charleston and Columbia, thus biased, as we supposed, ere really mistaking the true interests of those cities. If the .?irrt??>l?tir*i with satisfaction, that some of the ex-judges of the State, and former legislators, who yotcd for it?as well as hosts of intelligent gentlemen?are openly favoring Mr. Wilkbs' bill. There has, as yet, been no test rote in the present Legislature. County Statistics. We are indebted to J. M. Roxion, Esq., County Auditor of Greenville, for the following figures in refeience to matters per. t lining to the County, under the recent as aessment. just closed: No. Acres Land,..!*.., 446.399 Value Land .$2,109 864.00 " Buildings 290.882 00 "City Pioperty ...815,850,00 " Personal Property,... 1,669,184 00 Total value $4,884,220 00 State Tax 43,962 48 County Tax 14.664.16 Poll Tax 2,668.00 Total $61,179.64 Hack's Reitaarant. Tn company with a number of othe? In vited gentlemen, we enjoyed, the other day, Lunr/i at Mr. Hack's establishment, which all (and there were capital judges present) pronounced delightful, the quality and style ?f preparation was superior. Mr. Hack's taste aa4 skill was complirnenUd highly by deed* first and words afterwards. W. H. Watao*. Attention ia called to Mr W. II, Watson's advertisement, to be found elsewhere. Besides bis stock of home grown and Northern Seeds, he alao has Tools for all trades, L. # cbanical and manufacturing interest! of the interior of the State can prosper under the protection of the old, usury laws, like other States, then the cities would also prosper, but they canoot by converting themselves into money-sharing shops. It is delusive, and the ycunnot prosper by borrowing capital at high rates of intereaf. We think we have shown that it is absurd to expect capital to come from abroad to be invested here at more than seven per cent. No permanent business will undertake to give more. We think we have also shown, that the present law legalis-. ing tho highest rates of interest, keeps capital in the hands of the people of this State from being invested in productive pursuits.? Tho holders of money hold it back with the hopo of finding some speculator, or rann in distress, to get more than seven per cent., and the home capital is mostly idle. Cut ofT these calculations by Mr. Wilkes' bill restoring tho old usury laws, and money hoarded wonld go into business, in farming, manufacturing, building aud divers productive puisnits, by which the wholo State would bo benefited? country, cities, property holders and common laborers. We have, as yet, seen no staiafactory reply to these views, but bare assertions that usury laws have been discarded, generally, when wo hav? shown thn* #*? %? -?? ,l? j ?.? > iu.itj iu nu iui States nearly?even in New York, whole cbief cities are a little ahead of Charleston and Columbia. We are glad to tee this question brought up before the country. We commend to tbo Phoenix and Charleston papers an able editorial in the Keotcee Courier of the 13th January, which suppprts and enforces some of the came views on the usury question which we have endeavored to propagnte. If the Charleston and Columbia papers would republish sueh articles, some of their country friends would be obliged to then). But we have never known any of the old city journals since the war, to really advocate any of the class of measures that have become popular in the copntry : such as the Homestead Law the abolishment of imprisonment for debt; I the protection of the property of married women, etc. Wc speak this in no unkind spirit to thoss able and rcspectnblo journals, and account for it on the ground that they naturally and honestly reflect the mistaken feelings and sentiments of the mere traders and speculators and money dealers. Charleston, in all deference to her enlightened editors and bonrd of trade, does not see, im our humb)e opinion, her real interest, in opposing the usury laws, any more than she did at fust, in opposing the abrogation of imprisonment for debt and other popular relief measures whilst the Legislature of 1865 and 1866 was in session. There is one thing we regret to see in the Keotcee Courier article. We allude to the suggestion, that if the Legislature will not lairly and squarely restore tbo old usury laws, (as the editor really desires,) they might nev crthcless compromise by protecting usurious interest up to 10 per cent. We go for an unconditional repeal of the act of 1866, and think the people of the State will be content with nothing less. We believe that the unqualified repeal of the act, would promote the general good of the people beyond tbo most sanguine calculations. That law has done no good expected from it, and more than the evil results apprehended, have followed. The prospect for repeal is'favorable.

A gentleman residing in Jacksonville, I Florida, writes' to us asking as to the cli mate, soil and healthfulnes* of this County. He says tliat a number of families there are about removing some where in the upper part of South Carolina. All parts of this section are healthy, indeed .cannot be excelled in this respect by any climata in the world. Buch c? mnlaints as fever and ague and chills are unknown, except when brought here from places sub ject to them, when they soon disappear' Epidemics of any kind are unknown. Greenville County offers especial inducements to persons and families desiring to locjte. Good crops of corn, wheat, tye. oats, peas, bnrl.ty, potatoes. Ac., Ac can be raised annually with certainty. Cotton can also be produced to considerable success. Stock can be rained likewise; but few persons outside of this City buy bacon, growing enangh to supply their wants. Fruits grow spontaneously to ettcce:s, and with proper care and cultivation, apples, peaches, pears, plums, quinces, ?tc., can be produced that will equal any grown in the United States. When we get direct communion, tlon with New York, via C larlotte, all of these latter will be canned and shipped to n large extent. Good well timbered land, can be purchased at from five to ten dollars per acre, according to location and conveniences! cleared up land under fence with improvements, can be bad ai fair figures. lwtnne are cheaper in the upper part of tl?e County than they are in the lower p?r t'on, adjoining the Lnurens line. But as the Air-Line Railroad will run through the upper edge, being in consequence brought nearer market thereby, the difference in twelve or eighteen months will be more than t)ver balanced. The natural advantages of this County are many ; those who once live here, never forget to praise it. Those removing West fof an Eldorado, say, when too late, that they have left one behind them. We have often alluded to the educational advnntvgesof the City of Oreepville. They are superior. Funnan University, Female College snd Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, all in successful operation, are j located here. Our society, too, iagood, and as an intelligent community affords many advantages. Come along, we say, to all. Bring indua trj witli you, and you will be healthy and prosperous. ? ? ?? Paris Surrendered to the Prussians. The great drama of the siege of Paris ended on iaat Saturday nighty 28th January. TheState department at Washington City, j January 29th, receive ! the following despatch from JMoran, acting Minister to England : " The German Ambassador here has officially informed ma, that the capitulation of all the Paris forts, and an armistice of three weeks by s-a and land, was signed at eight last night, at Versailles, by Count Bismarck nnn Mr. juiea Favre. "The nimy of Paris remain prisoner* of war in the city; bnt it is not known wheth. er they are to he disarmed or not. No de? tails received." Thus after a fruitless resistance, terrible suffering and loss of life, and immense destruction of the beautiful improvements around Paris and no little within the walls of the oily, the surrender takes place that ought to havQ been made when the Prussians first marched toabe city. The French people have had ao real interest involved in this war. The loss of ths fortresses of Mela and Strashurg, and the consequent loss of the aggressive war waging power of the French Government, we regard aa a real blessing to the French people. It reunpven th^m from thedsnger of heing foroed into contlnr.al wars to gratify the ambition of their*rule?s, imperial or republican. The interest of both ralers and people is now to keep the peace. There is now every pro ha bility of speedy and permanent peace for Franee and her neighbors. ? * 1 w Large Hog. Col. T. L.
