Thus may those who threaten that the war will not end with the fall of tho capital be circumvented. The Provisional Government must bear the odlnm of making peace. Hunger and rebellion will speedily con? strain them to complete submission. With the dismantling of Paris, to arm which so many strong places were made defenceless.

Each Thursday and Saturday the King goes out hunting m a carriage and four, escorted by a platoon of dragoons, bringing in hares and venison lor his private table.

The banquet was given to those eminent personages who came at his Invitation to witness ihe'slege or Paris, and decide when King Wil? liam should? be crowned Emperor or Germany. Thc band plays continually in the park, and the petites damei expelled from Paris find new ad? mirers in the Prussian officers, who form the strolling andlence. it is jovial work, this siege of Paris. Th? Effect of Usury Lawi. In introducing a bill to repeal the law of 1866, which repealed the usury .laws of the State, Mr. Wilkes, of Anderson, desires, we presume, to enable the farmers aud plauters to borrow money ab seven per cent, per an? num. A purpose so laudable in itself en? titles Mr. Wilkes to the thanks of the agri? cultural interest, but wo think that it is not difficult to demonstrate that he threatens to kill his friends with kindness, and that to restore the usury laws to the statute book, wheu one per cent, a month upon stock col? laterals is a minimum rate, would only make money dearer as well as more difficult to obtain. Adam Smith did, it is true, approve of the principle of fixing a legal limit to the rate of interest, and making the receipt of more limn tiie appointed maximum a penal ofleuce. But, as is stated by Mr. John Stuart Mil!, in his work on Political Economy; this restric? tion is condemned by all enlightened persons, since the triumphant onslaught made upon it by Bentham in his "Letters on Usury," which may still be referred to as the best extant writing on the subject. As n matter of policy, the notion may pos? sibly be that it is for the general good that interest should be low. lt is, however,' a misapprehension of the causes which inilu nnce commercial transactions to suppose 'that the rato of interest is really made lower by law thud it would be made by the spon? taneous play of suppl}- and demand. No borrower pays twelve percent, when lie can got what he wants at seveuor at ten. 'It is his business to borrow at the lowest market price, and if the competition of borrowers, left unrestrained, would raise the rate of in? terest to twelve per cent., this proves that at seven or ten per cent, there would be a greater demand for loans than there is capi? tal in the market to suppl}'. If the law, in these circumstances, permits no interest be? yond seven per cent., or even ten por cent., there will be some lenders, who, not choosing to disobey the luw, and not being in a con? dition to employ their capital otherwise, will content themselves with the legal rate; but others, in Mr. Mill's words,, liuding that in a season of pressing demand more may be made by their capital by other means than they are permitted to make by lending it, will ?wt lend il at all; and the loanable capi? tal, already loo small for the demand, will be. still further diminished. Of the disap? pointed candidates there will be manyat such periods who must have their necessii?es supplied at any price, and these will readily find a third section of lenders, who will not be averse to join in ? Violation of Hie law, either by circuitous transactions, partaking of the nal tire of fraud, or by relying on the honor of the borrower. The extra expense of the roundabout mode of proceeding, and an equivalent for thc risk of non-payment and of legal penalties, must be paid by the borrower, over and above the extra'interest which would have been required of him by the general state of the market. This brings Mr. Mill to his conclusion, that "the laws " which jvere intended to lower the price " paid by the borrower for pecuniary accom " modulion* end thus in greatly increasing "it." ' Usury laws have also a directly demoral ' izing tendency. Knowing the difficnlty of detecting an illegal pecuniary trans-ictiou between two persons, in which no third per? son is involved, so loDg as it is to the inte? rest . of both to keep the secret, legislators have adopted the expedient of tempting the borrower to become the informer, by making the annulment of the debt a part of the pen? alty for the offence: thus rewarding men for obtaining the property of others by false promises, and then not only refusing pay- 1 ment, but invoking legal penalties on those who have helped them in their need. The moral sense of mankind very rightly infa? mizes those who resist an otherwise just claim on the ground of usury, aud tolerates such a plea only when resorted to as the best legal defence available, against an attempt really considered as partaking of frand or jaxtortion? But this very, severity of public 'opinion renders the ent?rcement- of the laws so difficult, and the inflictor!' pf the penalties so rare, that when it does occur, it merely victimizes an individual, and bas no eflect on general practice. In eo far aa the motive of a usury law may be supposed to be, not public policy, but re? gard for the interests of the borrower, it would bo difficult to point out any case in which such tenderness on the legislator's part is more misplaced. A person of sane mind, and of full age, must be presumed to be a sufficient guardian of his own interests. If he may buy lands, or grant a release, or assign away bis^property, or vote for the election of Mr. Wilkes and his colleagues, without control from the law, it seems very unnecessary that the only bargain which he cannot make without its intermeddling should be a loan of money. There is no truth in the presumption that the money? lender, dealing with necessitous persons, can take advantage of their necessities, and exact conditions limited only by bis own pleasure. It might be so if there were only OD6 money-lender within reach'. But where there is the whole monied capital of a com? munity to resort to, no borrower is placed under any disadvantage in the market merely by the urgency of bis need. If he cannot borrow at the interest paid by other people, it is because he cannot give an equally good security, and competition will limit the extra rate to a fair equivalent for the risk of his proving insolvent. Though the law inteuds favor to the borrower, it is to him, above all, that injustice is, in this case, done by it. What can be more unjust than that a man who can give perfectly good security, should be prevented from borrow? ing of persons who are willing to lend him money at what it is worth to them and worth to him ? What is more unreasonable than that a person who cannot give perfect? ly good security, should be debarred from borrowing of persons who were willing to lend money to him If the law permitted them to receive the rate of interest wbich would be a just equivalent for their risk ? Through the mistaken kindness of the law, he must either go without the money, wbich is per? haps necessary to save bim from much greater losse3, or be driven to expedients of a far more ruinous description, which the law bas not happened to interdict. This, in brief, is the argument of Mr. Mill upon the subject of usury laws, and it is conlirtned by the experience of every practi? cal business man in the country. No law can force a man to lend at seven per cent money which is in demand at ten and twelve. Such a law drives capital away, so that it may find employment in other places at its full market value. And the money which remains is lent at higher rates than would i prevail if no usury law were upon the stat? ute book. We undertake to say that to-day, other things being equal, money is dearer in Georgia than in South Carolina. Thc reason is plain. In this State, at present, the value of money i3 regulated by I he call for it; while in Georgia, where a U3ury law exists, the borrower pays the full legal rate and a commission, which, with the legal rate, amounts, in general, to rather moro than would have to be paid in Charleston. The ex? tra risk justifies the additional rate. We have endeavored to explain the prin? ciples which govern this highly important matter of the market value of mouey, and wo trust that the mercantile community, borrowers as well as lenders, will, through the proper chan nels, represent to the General Assembly the injury which will undoubtedly be done the people by .the revival of thc usury laws. The motives of Mr. Wilkes are, doubtless, very praiseworthy, but the bill which he has introduced will only muke money harder to obtain, and will certainly increase the price to be paid for its uso by those who are forced by circumstances to be either regular ur occasional borrowers. The Expedition io Ijiiufeusvillc. We are told that the United States soldiers who made the arrests in Laurens are thor? oughly ashamed of the whole business. One thousand men, with wagons and, wo believe, artillen-, are marched to Lauronsville under tho impression that the whole country is tilled with anned insurgents ; that thc town is fortified, and that there will be a desper? ate light before the ringleaders ure captured. They divide their force, surround the unsus? pecting Laurensville, and then lind that the whole- county is as still as death, iinji that thc insurrection and rioting exists.only in the crazed brain of Colonel Joseph Crews. The gentlemen for whom lhere are warrants deliver themselves up without a murmur, as they would have done bad the warrauts been presented by an unprotected sherill'. Taking with them eleven unarmed citizens, the one thousand regulars return to Columbia, while th? people remember that the expedition cost? the government somewhere in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars. How President Grant and Secretary Belknap will bless Joe Crews! A Oood Opportunity. General Scott has said that Trial Justices should be educated and intelligent men. We a3k whether Trial Justice Johnson, of Spar tauburg, who issues the following summons, should be allowed to retain his position one hour longer?
