Spartanburg is beginning to derive advnntage
from her railroad. Our hotels, for weeks 0
back, have been quito full of aumrner tourists.
Facilities and attention alone are necessary to b
(realise our full share of this sort of business.

The Andemon Intelligencer. *
We have received the first number of the An- gl
derson Intelligencer, issued for the first time on o
>the 14th ia slant , at Anderson C. II., by Fea- 0
thcrstoo At Hoyt. The paper is neatly-gotten
nip, and from tho low price we must suppose it ti
will be more than an experiment?$1 per an- j<
num. The oditors attach themselves to no ?
party, but are foot-loose to praise or condemn u
as circumstances may warrant. We take it tl
that that is the exaot position of almost every c
other paper in the State. Success to the enter- 'I
prise, say we. h

"My object is not at present to discuss mcs- J onl
arcs, hut simply to explain my own position. 1 "|Vl
avc been regarded by many us an uucouipro- jT 10
lising opponent of any change in theso laws, .
rhilo my real desire has been to facilitate the .J"!
hange, but to initiato it iu such a manner as to ,
rovido against confusion or recoil. An inlaiiliiucous
and total repeal, at any fixed point
f time, whether present or future, would in ^
ly opinion, inflatua the minds of money dealers 8uj(
rith the expectation of extravagant rates, and
object debtors to the exorbitant demands of 18 j1'
ieir creditors, before money froiu abroad had !
mie to tlow in to their relief. A foreclosure of
onil iiii?l mortgage, or a high rule of interest j.'"*
>r a lung period of time, would bo the alterativc
presented to many a poor borrower.
In more direct response to your inturrogato- .'.
y, I may say that Iain willing to rote for any bill
rliicli wlll'provido a reasonable barrier against
lie misohicf 1 hare suggested. The following lon
clieme of a bill would meet my cordial support,
nd hns already obtained the sanction uf many
f the wacmest friends of repeal:
1. All penalties nn*l forfeitures for usury lo
c repealed. ? ?'
2. In the Absence ?f any ngreemcut, seven J?
cr cent, to be the rate of interest. or
3. A con vent iotial rale of iutevest, not exceedlg
12 or 14 par cent., to be allowed upon ape- ul1!'
ial agreement, frotn the first day of January, y"11
861. 1
4- The hanks to receive only their present
atcs according to charter. ? .
6. From and after the first day of January, nn
802, the only remaining restriction, above i2 * "'j
r 14 per cent., to be removed.
This scheme, it seems to inc. will protocf the V"'
eoplc against exorbitant rates ir the coming ' "
car, and, at the same time, give them a fair jv
pportunity of testing the experiment of itiving
capital from abroad without too much ri?k.
I'the experience of tlie year be favorable, llie
ct will, of itself, remove tbe only remaining 1
cut fiction. an?l nccotnplish tbe total repeal; but
' it be unfavorable, the Legislature will have
it opportunity of interposing before the last . 1
estraiiit is sot loose. With a hank capital of
mi or twelve millions, and a conventional rate
f interest ranging as high ns 1 I per cent., ' v
liere certainly ought to be no complaint of a
ant of accommodation for a year. And if so
real a change in our monetary aiLiirs can be
noeessfully accomplished within that period j,
f time, it will certainly have been done not "
illv well, but quickly."
' * t ton
The agitation of this quostion at the present [ct x
me evidences a determination to press the sub- the
>ct upon the attention of the Legislature next aI'P'
'inter, and in his letter Senator Porter, in the
lost suggestively modest way imaginable, tells
lie people of Charleston that the repeal can "1
asily be effected in tbe Senate, but not so in tlo,i
. a 1

of tbe usury laws" "lias passed the this

lirust upon the members, would it not be well ,|01|l

'orter himself is unwilling to support repeal, ?.(
nloss guarded with cheeks aud restraints upon of ri
lie soullcssiicss of money-making. All that 'ly<
nu be said for it begins and ends in bunks
nd broker'^offices, or in the minds and pockets
f capitalists. Why, suppose the restrictions It
pon excessive interest removed: Would tner- a no
Liant, mechanic, or speculator be able to bor- 01
jw from banks on good time, at low rates of yjur
itetesi, when the director* could gel discounts, grcs

orne moral air-pnmp must exhaust the princi- jf ''
le of selfishness from Adam's family before ,jlo
icli advantages will be ignored by his sharp I'nil
esccndants. In our judgment the repeal of or u
ie usury laws will not bvar light?will not ^
ear discussion. Let restrictions be removed Hjlol
i whole or in part, and banks will loan just Pros
fiough money to private parties to keep down l'tn
amor? while the bulk of discounts will be J1""sed
surreptitiously by brokers and others, at ot,r
xorhitant rates, in sucli way as to evade the pen- its
Itv of the law. Ilut, before wc reach even choi
Ti
lis point of practice, certain chauges will rc- ^ ^
