The Usury Law. ilf Th# Usury Law passed the Georgia ( L Hoofl^by an overwhelming majority? [j* 91 to 41. It fixes the legal rate at 7 per 1 . cent., allows 12 per cent under contract, ' : and provides tliat all violators of the ] k' law shall forfeit the entire interest, Ie- , p gal aud usurious. The enemies of the 1 bill or the friends of free money, though ] r by no means satisfied with the measure, ^ t thought it the very best that could be I. obtained from the House, and, therefore, { J- at?I i it I t IDUUU UO VUUlt lu imvtr it icvuuotuvivu< < ' The House tabled the Senate bill on the | subject, which providea ten per cent. < e under contract, and imposes as a penal- ' o ty the forfeiture of only the usuri|us t y interest. The friends of free money < n prefer the House bill because it allows . twelve per cent under contract, being . in that respect more liberal than the a Senate bill. It, however, imposes a r heavier penalty on violators. The Sen- '{ d ate may not concur in the House bill; o thereupon a committee of conference ! , will be appointed, who may fall to agree " and the bill may fail to become a law. ( There is, however, a strong detcrminat tion to pass a usury law. i. There seem to be a disposition in the . n Georgia Legislature at the present sesl, sion to legislate in the interests of the d debtor class, and to impose as many ree strictions us possible upon the free opeg ration of the laws of trade, and the n rights of the creditor, as shown in the II defeat of the lien law and the probable o passage of a usury law. We in South >t Carolina hold fast to the first and have repudiated the other. In so doing, we think that our legislature, wnaiever y others sins they may be called upon to I, answer for, have acted wisely. People n j should be treated as grown men and not e as children, and the law should sustain y contracts when made. e Y Tiie Unity of the Human* Race.? 0 A correspondent of the Aucjmta Chronl' iclc and Sentinel, concludes thus an ar- ; tide against the unity theory, and replying to the proposition that the Bible l' whilst speaking of Adam, Eve, Cain I* and Abel, does not sayanything>against j the existence of other persons : j "This reminds me of President Jeffer, son and the .'member of Congress: 11 "There is nothing in the Constitution t forbidding it, Mr. Jefferson." "Very 1 n true," said he "but is there anv thing in jt it authorizing it?" I must hold you, Mr. Cartledge, not only down to com- mon sense, but to the very letter of the Bible. You must show me, notfron the n writings of Adam Clark, or any other man, but from that Book, and that j alone, but Adam and Eve were the fad tliernnd mother of Cain's wife." ' / If the Bible professed to give .* com*I nlete liistorv of the oritrin and snrend of f n ? '. H V w * - . the human race, as the Constitution is a | J ? complete chart of the powers of the ic ' Federal Government there might be! j something in the analogy. We do not 1 ho peto prove the unity of therace from 1 9 the Bible. The proof comes from an- j 1 other quarter. It is sufficient, if there | P be nothing in the scriptures to gainsay i the assumption. a >.

The rosult of the Lc 3eont elections, we think, have shown mt tbo country fears more front, the ^ espotic acts of the Federal Exocu- | vo and Legislative, which threaten G fatal blow to public liberty in this Bti mintry. The supremacy of consti itionul law, and the inalienable ghtof local-self-government, are the j atchwords now uh they have ever cen of the Democratic party. ? C|, John Bright, a leading member of J J >e late Liberal Ministry in Englang, tid the foremost orator in England, i a carefully prepared speech recent- Nc 'delivered at Birmingham, urges the ga, isentablishmcnt of the English & hurch ] though he regards it as a uestion not yet ripe for party action, 0 far from the English church being ]ej bulwark against Koine, he regards wa as only a half-way honso to that F( ommunion. ^ Arkansas.?Even Harpers Wookly ~ isapprovea of the President's position h Arkansas affaire, and recommcnds jngro?8 to accept the report of the 'oland Committee. The highest aujority on the subject lays it down 9 an established principle that a Leg- || ilaturo may call a Convention to hange tho Constitution as was done 1 Arkansas, and that the present nvni'nmpnt is'legitimate.

The business trsnactions are nly in a moderate way, and In artllea of necesity, while purchasere;exhibt much economy in there dealings. The gold market at New York exhib- rj ted the following fluctuations during jj( he week: On Saturday, was dull at n? On Mnndnv. was at 14J. On tv 'uesday, was at 14j@15@15J. Ou jjl Vedriesday, was at 15}, 15j, loi, 16J, 15. j;, >n Thursday, wrs at 14j@15. On Frl- pf ay, was at 14^14?. The crops.?The weather commen- yj ed damp and some what unsettled, was qj fterwarda partly dry with a cool tem- jj crature, but later was cloudy and with liin. The winter so far has been quite nfavorable for field labor, and planta- j}, ion up to this time is backward, and a ry moderate season is now much need- gr d to enable the busiscss of the farm to roceed successfully. In some sections je fie re has been a favorable demand for g|( ;rtiliz?rs, and the value of these aids qc } raising of a crop are being more stead- yj iy approached by farmers, who find iiere liberal, the only means of making ? irrning successful at the present low sales of prices. There has yet been no nportant development in reference to 18 lie extent of the area to be given to the ew cotton crop, but the continance of >w figures will probably huveatendan- "fl y restrict the acreage. 881 The Receipts.?The arrivals at the 8ei Dtton ports for tne week up to Friday, 'ebruary 12, were 104,163 bales against 28,500 bales for the week last year, and ~(j 1,037 bales for the week up to yesterday 8tl i contrast with 123,040 for the period I*1' ;ie year before.
