Money, like the products of the farm or manulactory, is worth all it 1will bring, say the advocates of the ho usury law. .!thfs is not true, for Iuoney has no intrinsic value, it is only % commercial Medium, made by the 'overnment for the convenience of the people, and the Government has a right, or the people rather, through their representatives, to say what per cent. shall be charged upon It. The products of the soil are the staples of lifc and alwhys worth what they will bring. In this. respect there is no re lation between products and money. A New Paper.

The senior editor, Mr. Holmes, is well known.to us as a member of the Legislature from Barnwoll County and, judging.from his ability as a leg. 4slator, we.prediet for him a brilliant and successful career as a quill driver.

Y. J. P.- Owens, the incendiary Radical Senator from Laurens County since reconstruction, up to the last e1. ection, died of apoplexy, in Baltimore, last week. He had been indicted fot the fraudulont funding of coupons, by Sthe Investigating Comr mitte , and was hiding in the North to escape ar rest. He was one of Parker's bondse men, and it had been discovered juist before his death that ho had on de posit in the Carolina National Bank, the sum of 620.800, wvhich was attach" ed as soon as the discovery was made. It is stated that considerable money was found amongst his effects in Bal timore after his death, and Capt S. Dibbie. a member of the Committee, left immediately on hearing of the tact, for Battimore, to look alter the State's interest. Owens was a native of Laurens County, and skulked out of the late war as long as he could, but when forced to go, by conscription, deserted the first oppo.rtunity, and went over to the enemy. Alter the war ensed he joined the Radical par ty, and wan one of its most incendiary member. upto his death. lie was to tally devoid of honor and shared in all the Radical plundering of the State. We have no tears to shod over his death. Our neighbors and friends of the Laiut'nsvlle&Rerald and the PICKENs SzENEPL aire disposed to joke us on the matrimoniail quhtstion. All right, gentlemen; we hope to stop that part of your fun before we die.

The lato Secretary of State of Lou isiana has sued enGovernor Kellogg for something over eight thousand dollars, which the Secretary of State insists is due him from the Governor for affixing the Louisiana seal to cor,. tain State document. It will not sur prise anybody to hear that tbore are charges of a job in this matter, and that K~elIlogg was the jobber. Complaint is made that the indict ment of' so many.of the late statesmen of South Carolina "will destroy the remnant of Republicanism in that State.'' It the Republicanism i n South Carolina is reduced to such a remnant as this it isn't worth while to save it.

Ma. H. R. BTRvEs; In 1872 your Vzon TINE was recommended to moe, and yielding to the persuasions of a friend, I eonsented to try it. At the time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, so perinduced by overwork and irregular bab its. Its wonderful strengthening and cura tive properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose, and under its pepistent use I rapidly recovered. gaining more than health and good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to give VEGETINE my mosi unqualified indorsement as being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promoting health and restoring the wasted systeme to new life and energy. VEETINE is the only medicine I use, and as long as I live I never expect to find a better. Yourt truly, W. H. CLARK, 120 Monterey street, Allegheny, Pa. VEGETINE. Tife,following letter from Rev. G.W.

Mr. H. R. STEVENs-Dear Sir: About ten years ago my health failed through the de pleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly a year later I was attacked by typhoid fever in its worst form, it settled in my back and took the form of a large deep seated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathering. I had two surgical operations by the best skill in the State, but received no permanent cure. I suf, fered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by a profuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at different times. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your office and talk with you of the virtue of VEOI:viNE. By what I saw and heard I gained some confidence in VEG1.TE NE. I commenced iking it soon after, but felt worse from its eftects; still I persevered andi soon felt it was benefiting me in other re - pects. Yet. I did not see the results I dlesired, till I had taken it faithfully for little more than a year, when the difficulty in the back was cured, and for nine months I have en joyed the best of health.* I have in that time gained 25 pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and I was never more able to perform labor tihan now. During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part pf my body. I took VEGETINE faithfully andi it. removed it level with the surface in a month. I think I should have beeu cured of my main trouble sooner iflIhad taken larger doses, after hav ing become accustomed to3it.s effects. Let your patrons troubted with scrofula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to cure chronic diseases, and if they will patiently take VEGETINE, it will, in my judg ment, cure them. With great obligations I am, yours very truly, 0. W. MANSFIELD, Pastor of the Methodist E. Church. Vegetine Prepared by H. R. STEVENS, Boston Xaas.
