Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO, No. 19 Broad street, Charleston, S. C. THTJBSDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1873. THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS "IS designa ..ted as the newspaper for the publication of "all legal notices, and official advertisements, ?'for the County of Charleston, under the act "of February 22d, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public "notices." NE?TS OF THB DAT. -The New York Herald ls very anxious for 8 war with Spain. -Cedar 'River was frozen solid to the bot? tom at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. -Colonel York, Pomeroy'a betrayer, led a regiment of colored troops In the war. Slooe then be has been editing a newspaper In Mont? gomery County, Kansas. -Henry Ward Beecher la In no danger of . bankruptcy. His salary as pastor ls $25,000; as editor of the Christian Union $10,000, and as lecturer, Ac, say $10.000 more. -Up to the middle of January the present winter was one of the mildest aver known in France. At that date In the environs of Paris and In the gardens of the city the trees were covered with leaves, and many spring flowers had begun to bad. In the centre of France the raspberry bushes were commencing to bear fruit, and early asparagus was beginning to appear. 1 -A New York auctioneer, who has been se. verely tried by the uncertain whims of lady murninni!, -01 "Ttrrr yrrsr-aco OT lUOHH WHO attend merely to see the fun Is endurable, but the lady who bids a certain article of cloth np to nine cents a yard, and when lt ls knooked down to her decides to take one yard, he re? gards as a blot on the civilization of the nine? teenth century." -One of the latest, and certainly one of the most atrocious, murders on record was re? cently committed tn Brooklyn. A fiend In human form, named Peter ?Pox, desired his son, aged thirteen years, to bring him a pot of beer, bat, falling to furnish the money nec? essary to pay for the same, the boy refused to 1 go, and was promptly kicked to death by* the ' thirsty parent. As Peter apparently had not I ianda enough to meet the trifling expense In- i cldent to the purchase ot the desired bever? age, lt ls scarcely possible that he can com? mand sufficient money to baffle Justice when the day of trial comes, and therefore we In? dulge the hope that In his case at leaat the gallows will not be cheated. -The visit of the sovereign of Persia to the principal capitals of Europe this year will be the occasion of a genuine sensation, if report ls to be trusted. Preparations are making for the Journey already at the Persian capital, and an Immense purse ls being filled to defray his Majesty's travelling expenses. The Shah will be accompanied on his visit byan Imposing retinae, consisting ot mollabs, astrologers, councillors, Interpreters and the like, and lt !? expected that bis suite will make a more gorgeous display than any royal retinue which has hitherto visited the West. Although the Persian monarch ls not possessed ol un? bounded wealth, he does not lack wardrobe or regalia. The crown Jewels are said to be the finest; in the world, and the display on ca art days ls described as something unri? valled. -There ard some curious laws on Pennsyl? vania statuta books. It was only the other day that mention was made o? the law In the State which authorized a married man to re? fuse his mother-in-law access to bis wife and forbid hie wife access to the church ef her I faith. A case in a Philadelphia court on Sat- j urday last developed another quaint regala- ? tlon In force in the land ot Penn, and this ls j that, in addition to the ordinary duty ot a man to support bis wire and children, if he have ! any, the law of Pennsylvania also requires that where a "poor person is not able to ' work" and has parema or grandparents, cb ll . 1 dren or grandchildren, such ancestral progen- 1 ito rs cr descendant posterity, as the case may ' be, ''shall relieve and maintain such poor i person" at the rate to be prescribed by tbe court ot quarter sessions. -The Boston Globe gives some interesting J statistics of the sewing machine trade. It says : "it Is estimated that the profits for the last ten years on the sewing machines mann factored In this country amount to $200,000,000, ' and the estimated profits In 1871, $20,000,000. 1 In 1872 at least seven hundred thousand ma- ' chine? were made, and allowing that two han- < dred thousand of them were exported, the < several companies must have received at least | ?36,000,000' for the five hundred thousand, , $5,000,000 covering the cost of manufacturing and patent fees. It 1B well known that the ? sewing-machine patents are about to expire and there ls a formidable combination of In- ( tereala at Washington to lobby their extension ( through Congress. There are about twenty- 1 five sewing machine companies In the United t Staten, five of them manufacturing probably 1 three-ionrths ot all the machines produced. [ The nominal capital of these twenty-five com- t paules fi about $20,000,000, and In addition lo the profits on sales the leading ones divide a ? ?royalt)' on the various patents med by the 'tributary' companies, as they are called." -Judge Ludlow, of Philadelphia, has es- t tabilshed au important precedent by a recent v worthy decision upon a case Involving the desertion of a wife by ber husband for what li pretended to be legal, but were not moral reasons. Tbe complainant was a woman who had married, sixteen years ago, the man against whom she brought suit. Seven chil? dren had in that lime been born to them. The d?tendant made no denial ol a form of mar? riage, but stated that a Catholic priest per lormed the ceremony at Antrim, Ireland, while he waa a Prote8tant at the lime. Fall? ing back upon a statute of George It, over a century old, he sought to not only desert the wile who had been faithful to him through all these years, but to rob her of her good name and their children of legitimacy. By Judge Ludlow's decision, he learned that a principle of equity as well as technicality exista In law. The validity of the marriage was sustained, and the recreant husband ordered to give security tor the maintenance of his wife. In these days of frequent and cheap divorces, lt ls refreshing to witness any pronounced judicial recognition of the sanc? tity of the marriage tie, and Judge Ludlow's decision will stand in bright contrast with the multitude that fill the dockets ot superior courts, inasmuch as it asserts the supremacy of moral obligations where the letter of the law would authorize A great wron... The Uiury Laws Again. In the House of Representatives on Mon? day the following amendment to the Uusury law was passed : SECTION L Be it enacted by the Senate and House ol Representatives of the ?t?te of South Carolina, now met and sitting lr. General As? sembly, and by the authority of the same: That Beetloo 3 of an act entitled "An act to repeal the Usury Laws of this State," appro- i ved December Stn. 1866, being section 7 ol | chapter 65, of title 12, ot the General Statutes, be, and the same la hereby, amended so SB lo read as follows: "That all acts or parla of acts, limiting the rate ol interest recoverable upon contracts for the hiring and use of money to seven (7) per cent, per annum, are hereby re? pealed; Provided, That nothing herein con? tained shall be construed to permit the recov? ery ot more than ten per cent, per annum upon any contracta lor the hiring, lending or use ot money hereafter entered into." The section proposed to be amended was a simple repeal of the restrictions upon the rate of interest to be charged for the use of | money, and reads as follows : SECTION 7. That aU acts and parts of acts, limiting ihe rate of Interest recoverable upon contracts for the hiring, lending or use of | money, are hereby repealed. -As the law stands, tbe lender of money charges for its nae what the borrower ls willing and able to pay. An attempt was made at the last session of the Legislature to limit the rate of interest, which might be charged, to seven per cent. The argument against any interference with the liberty of the lender to charge what be pleases, and of the borrower to pay what he pleases, was unanswerable then, as it is now, and the bill, which bad passed the House, was promptly killed in the Senate. The differ? ence between the bill which was then de? feated and the bill now before the Legisla? ture is only a difference in degree-the dif? ference, in other words, between seven per cent, and ten per cent. But any tamper? ing with the laws of trade involves a princi? ple, and the application of that principle, in the present case, ls very clear. Either it is fn the power of the General Assembly to fix by law the rate at which money shall be lent, or it is not. Unless the members believe that a stringent State law will enable the needy planter and mer? chant to borrow monoy at a low rato, why do they propose to poss such a law ? They must believe it, or they are making game of their constituents. And if they do believe that tbey can make the rate of interest what they, in their wisdom, please, why do they Ox the rate at ten per cent T In England money is worth two and three per cent. Why should it be any dearer in South Caro? lina 7 There are tens of thousands of per? sons in South Carolina, the members of the Legislature included, who could make for? tunes io a week, if tbey could borrow as much money as they wanted at two and three per cent a year. It is a sin and shame that the people should pay ten per cent for what, by a law, could be compelled to be given them at less than half that rate. Bat here the trouble comes ia. A member will say, "We can fix tbe rate at three or "four percent., bat the bankers won't lend "at that price. They will send their money "away. So we will give them a fair price "and the money will stay." Thoa fool I This knocks away the foundation of the fabric. Ic is an admission that the lender, not the legislator, determines at what rate bis capital shall be used by otters. If there is power to make him lend at teu, there is power to make bim lend at three. If there is no power to do one, there is power to do the other. Let ns look at it again I There are two classes of States in the United States; those in which money is free from restriction, and those ID wbicb usury laws prevail. It is the universal experience, other things being equal, that money is cheaper where the usury laws are abolished than where they remain in force. Money, to-day, is cheaper in South Carolina than in Georgia; and, likewise, lt is cheaper here, upon equal secu? rity, than in New Yck. But in New York the usury law is exceedingly stringent 7 It is; and yet money mles at from six to sixty per cent, c year. Tbe money, at the time, is worth the rate which is charged, and tbe I asar? law does not stand in the way. Tbe .ender charges a commission instead of plain interest; or the borrower pays interest on Len thousand dollars and only draws two thousand five hundred dollars from bank. The history of civilization shows that re? strictions upon the free use of money only make its cost the greater; because the lender must be paid for the risk or violating tbe letter of the law, as well as for tbe ordinary risk of losiDg his money. This is too plain to need any further j demonstration; but we can tell the Legis? lature what the effect of the proposed bill, if passed, wlil be. A part of tbe banking capital will be driven away, and the remain? der will be lent out at eighteen per cent, and wenty-fonr per cent., instead of tbe present ?ate, which is twelve per cent. The nomi tal rate will be ten per cent., and there will >e a "commission" sufficient to make np the lifference. And even if the Legislature sould frame a law which would prevent any nan from paying, directly or Indirectly, nore than len per cent, for borrowed cap tal, the trouble would arise in another form, rhe borrower would not get the money. A >anker who can obtain twelve and eighteen >er cent, in Georgia would not lend money lere at a lower rate. The eflect would be bat neither planter nor merchant could KMTOW any money at all, and many of them pould be hopelessly mined. The Legislature may very properly fix a ?gal rate of interest to govern the conduct of trastees and others, bat it should alco be distinctly enacted that any rate of interest, agreed upon in writing, shall be held bind? ing. Farther than this the Legislature can? not go, without seriously injuring the agri? culture and commerce of the State. Indiana Divorce?. Indiana seems to have tired of her long timed notoriely in the matter of "easy divor? cees." Trie Legislature has recently passed a law making divorce-getting more stringent. It reduces the number of causes for which a divorce may be granted to seven only, chief among them being abandonment for thtee years; cruel and inhuman treatment; the fail? ure of a husband for two years to provide lor his wife; habitual drunkenness for three years; and conviction ot an lufamous crime. ? great grievance in reference to Indiana divorces has been the ease with which persons from other States could procure them. To change this, the new law obliges the petitioner for a di? vorce to prove a continuous residence for two years within the limits of the State before a suit eau begin; whilst in ail cases where it can be proved tbat no notices other than those published In the newspapers bave been given, salts can bu reopened on good cause shown, and decrees set aside. This law ls a great im- ] provement over the old one, but lt, neverthe? less, may ?1111 contain loop holes enough to make Indiana a popular State among divorce hunters. Tbe Land o' Cakes. The emigration of Scotchmen, especially to the United States, has awakener, considerable regret, and in fact anxiety, amoug the lords of the realm. The class of emigrants who come from Scotland to the United states, lt is well known, is distinguished for thrift, In? dustry and Intelligence, and among those who in years past have cast their destinies on this side ol the Atlantic may now be counted some of the leading cilizens ot the country. It ls not to be wondered at, with such evidence In view, that the Marquis of Lorne should ex? press himself decidedly against the emigra? tion of his countrymen. In his address at J Glagow on Friday night, he took occasion to speak of the scarcity of laborers and the ability of Scotland to support an Immense pop? ulation, and while referring with regret to tbe emigration movement in general, he ex? pressed particular grief that the current) moved toward the United States. If Scotch? men will go abroad, he knows their material so well that he would rather they would "stick to the old flag." The wishes and re? grets of tbe Marquis may, in all propriety, be conceded an appreciative sympathy. The Emperor of Germany has been of late In a similar mood In regard to his people. The current of emigration, however, will scarcely be diverted by sentiment. Drny3 at tDrjoleoaU. Q_RAY'?
