now briefly is the ‘“situation” in aud
around Paris, and we await with that
feverish impatience which prevailed
with us during the late war, when
Sherman’s army invaded Atlanta, to
hear what is next to transpire. A few
days may tell the tale, certainly a few
weeks must. By some it is said that
Paris has been provisioned for months,
by others for only weeks of supply.—
Be this as it may, provisions will give

patient, readers, we will all soon see.
DEATH OF CHARLES E.
NISBET, ESQ.
Charles E. Nisbefc, the oldest son of
Hon. Engenius A. Nisbet, died sudden¬
ly on his plantation in Houston county,
of a congestive chill, on Friday last and
was buried from the residence of his fa
ther in Macon, last Sunday evening.—
Mr Nisbet was forty-four years old and
left behind dim a widow and an interes¬
ting daughter his warm and genial dis¬
position, a well trained and sprightly
intellect, and a sunny, cheerfulness of
tempor. He was ever full of innocent
mirth humor, and with the taste and
reading of the scholar, he united all the
attractions of the man of society. He
an excellent and well-stored mind
with a very engaging person ; but wc
believe, during the whole of his man
hood, he was almost a constant sufferer
from rheumatic or neuralgic affections.
Near the close of the war found him the
owner and occupant of a fine plantation
in Burke county, but, unfortunately ly¬
ing in Sherman’s track, it was converted
into a waste in a moment* Every horse
and every valuable on the place, to the
iniuutest article of wearing apperel; was
burnt or stolen, and with little left to
repair these misfortunes, Mr Nisbet re¬
moved, with his family, to Houston,
where he died. Wo deeply sympathize
with his distressed flock, and a | with
Judge Nisbet 80
and family who have, with¬
in so short a time, lost, by death, two
sons and brothers in the prime of
hood.— Tel & Mess , Sep. 20.
.Sale ol the Slate Road.
The stupendous robbery contemplat¬
ed by the bill introduced into the Leg¬
islature for the sale of theState Road to
a Northern company for $5,000,000,
is thus exposed by the Atlanta E
ra *.
We have carcfuly examined a correct
copy of the bill ‘to incorporate the Geor¬
gia State Railway Company’ by which
the State is compelled to give its road
away, and pay four miliious to the parties
who are willing to sacrifice themselves by
taking After it.
prised that reading distinguished the bill we are not sur¬
the Democratic
Senator who the conspirators expected
to introduce the bill, respectfully declin¬
ed to connect his name with it. The
bill is artistic und worthy of the reputa¬
tion of soiae of of the Evil performances
before the New York Legislature. In
fact we are rather disappointed that the
name of Jim Fisk does not appear as one
of the sufferers.
By tbe first section of the bill, certain
gentlemen, none of whom even reside in
this State, are authorized to incorporate
and subscribe for n capital of onk million
dollars. On this they are to enjoy all
the rights, privileges. &c*, conferred up¬
on the Central, the Georgia, and the
Brunswick and Albany Roads. Thut is
they may start banks aud have State
aid to the amount of $15,000 a mile in
gold.
2d. The corporators are made ‘Di¬
rectors.’ to continue until they elect
their successors, aud may hold meet¬
States. ings, at any place in the Uuited
3d. The capital stock is one million
iu shares, of one hundred dollars,
each, aud the “Directors” are au
throized to sell or dispose of this
stock.

creased by the ‘Directors*

11th. The privilege is granted of es¬

others. This last feature seems
to be the foundation of the whole
sheme.
12th. Gives exemption from all State
county and municipal taxes, and tnenas
there is nothing more worth ashing
for, the bill closes in the usual form, re¬
pealing sistent all laws and parts of laws incon
with it. This practically repeals
the Code and the Constitution’ for if
there is any law, human or divine,
which is not ‘inconsistent’ with this out¬
rage, we are unaware of it.
Usury.
We are pleased to see that the Senate
has done its part in practically repeal¬
ing the usury law, aud in opening the
door to money as to all other merchant¬
able commodities. It is a matter in
which we have long felt a deep interest.
The change has been needed ever since
the surrender; and we hope to see the
House perfect the good work begun by
the Senate.
O position to high r ites of interest
on money is a tradition and a prejudice.
Its opponents can only reiterate the old
and meaningless arguments that it is
immoral and against public policy, but
they are unable to show liow.
We get our law against usury from
the English law. The reason of that
law was that the heirs of entailed • rop
erty during youth could cucumber .
the
property of by interest borrowing money at rubi¬
ous rates for vicious indulg¬
ence. The object is to protect tbough
less youths from usurious aud cunning
8hylocks.
But the reason fails here, aud there¬
fore the law should fail. We have no
entailed property, and the contracts of
youths are voidable. The matter now
is a simple square out business arrange¬
ment between men in business for their
mutual advantage. No rule can be laid
down. The fullest freedom is best.
h requeutly men can save themselves
in great straights by getting money at
high interest. An enormous interest is
less damaging than the absence of mo
ney.
bring, Money is worth just what it will
aud it is as wrong to say that it
shall only pay so much as that a mau
shall not sell a house or horse for m re
than seven per ceut. profit. It cripples
trade seriously.
legal Usury laws keep money away. The
rate of interest is a smaller profit
than any well managed business pays.
Open the door, and you invito money*
Take off the risk of usury and money
pours in to get the high rates. It be¬
comes lower more plentiful, an I the result is
a rate of interest for borrowers.
There is no better way to reduce the
premium on money than leave it free
to get its price. Mouey is worth from
four to six per cent, a year, North; here
from IS to 24. It would readily run
from its low price there to the higher
one here, but for the risk of usury.—
Capital is always cautious. It must be
made safe to get it.
Now rip off the gates, and see how
soon the tide will pour in. The very
object of the usury law—reduced inte¬
rest will result, aud capita’ be invited
instead of repelled, as now.
Let us try the experiment anyhow.
A trial will test the who'e thing. Other
States and countries have tried it, and
found that it work well. Lot us test
the matter.
