The Usury ftuxMoe
The following remarks were written for
publication some time ego, nod left out in
making up the paper. 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.

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. We lourn,

Greenville County aa a Desirable Place
to Remove to.
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.
