Jndgre Reese’s Insurance Law.
The agitation which has followed the
introduction of Judge Reese's new insur
ance law, has moved that gentleman to j
write a letter explanatory of the provi- !
sions of the measure. Judge Reese says: 1
“The bill is one simply changing the |
onus^of proof, and changing it upon cor- !
rect principles. If the insurance com- i
pany has taken a risk upon my house at |
a certain valuation, after examination, !
which it always makes, and received my
premium for such risk, why should not this
valuation, when I lose my property by
tire, and show before court that it has
undergone no material alteration in value,
be held to make out a prima facie case of
or right to recover. As the law now
stands, under one of the conditions—
printed generally in small type, and
hardly possible to read—you may insure
your house to-day after full examination
by the agent of the company, par such
premium as the company asks, and if it
is burned next week and undergone no
change whatever, you can be compelled
to furnish to the company new proofs of
value, specifications, plans, vouchers,
and bills, showing what the house cost,
at a heavy cost to yourself, and if this is
not done, you cannot sue the company.
Now my bill simply says under these cir
cumstances, if it is desirable on the part
of the insurer to make new investigations,
let him do it at his own expense, use his
own proof on the trial of the case.
But it should be remembered that the
printed conditions, which are abrogated
by Judge Reese’s bill, are inserted in the
contract between the insurer and the in
sured as a protection, not agaiust honest
men, but against those who seem to have
been endowed by nature with a disposi
tion to defraud. Moreover, the condi
tions, which Judge Reese complains are
printed in small type, have not heretofore
been a bar to any one wlio desired to ob-
tiin a policy of insurance; and, notwith
standing they are in such small type, it is
not likely that any person with the re
sources of common intelligence at his
command could be prevailed upon to in
vest in a policy without first acquainting
himself with the terms of the contract.
We are of the opinion that Judge
Reese’s bill is ill-advised. From all the
information we can gather, those who are
most interested in the matter—the holders
of insurance policies—do not sympathize
with the purposes of the measure. In
deed, we have heard several large policy
holders express their disapproval of the
bill in the most emphatic terms, and
some of our commercial men, who are
largely interested, are as active in their
opposition as the insurance agents them
selves. While this is the case, it is quite
useless to go into any extended argument
to show that the proposed change in the
law would not only cripple the insurance
companies themselves, but would bear
very hardly upou honest and conscien
tious policy-holders.
Banditti.
The Baltimore Bun doubts whether
there was ever as large and respecta
ble a banditti in any community as that
•which Sheridan has to deal with in Louis
iana. It is composed of the great body
of the professional men, the agriculturists
and the artisans of the State. All the
intelligence, the enterprise, the honesty,
and the honestly acquired property of the
State are enrolled in this “banditti.” The
bishops and other clergy of all the lead
ing denominations of Louisiana are acting
as so many Friar Tucks to this R,obin
Hood band. Even the foreign residents
have announced themselves as accesso
ries to those whom Sheridan has virtually
declared worthy of death by drum-head
court-martial. At last wo have the Louis
iana and Mississippi Grangers, who, in a
joint address to the members of the order
throughout the Union, vouch for the
entire trustworthiness of the Congres
sional sub-committee’s report, which
gives the logical lie to Sheridan and ail
Kellogg’s crew, and bespeak for it a care
ful and candid reading. “Believe us,”
they say, “this report tells you the
truth.” When Sheridan gets through
with the clerical, commercial and me
chanical desperadoes, he should look after
these agricultural “banditti.” What a
pity that the only honest man in Louis
iana should be so beset by rogues.
The Testimony of a Radical.
We have already been advised by tele"
graph that Judge Mackay, one of the Re -
publican leaders in South Carolina, who
was appointed by Governor Chamberlain
to investigate the outbreaks in Edgefield
county, has made his report. The Judge
says that no English-speakinq people have
ever been subjected to an infliction as
great as the county government of Edge-
field county since the days when the Sax
ons wore the Norman collar. He says
that the officers of the militia have been
in the habit of calling out their men
whenever a personal quarrel occurred be
tween a white man and a colored man ;
and this has been done in spite of the
fact that the State Constitution gives to
the Governor alone the power to call out
the militia. He recommends that the Gov
ernor shall at once issue an order disband
ing the entire militia force of Edgefield
count}', composed entirely of negroes,
and that he shall send a trust-
worth}’ person to receive the arms and
bring them to Columbia to the State Ar.
mory. It is stated that tLe Governor will,
at an early date, issue an order disbanding
both the militia and rifle clubs in Edg<-
field county.
The Central Railroad.
Col. Jones, the genial traveling editor
of the Macon Telegraph, has discovered
that the much-abused Central Railroad
is about the only thoroughfare in the
country which encourages immigration
aud discourages emigration. Yet such is
the fact. The agents of the Arkansas
aud Mississippi planters apply in vain to
Mr. Wadley for reduced rates to the
freedmen, who have been seduced from
their homes and employers and are about
to be transported to the distant West.
They are required to pay full fare, while,
on the contrary, immigrants, whether
black or white, who are moving in and
intend to locate in Georgia, are barely
charged half price, and receive ever}’
encouragement and the kindest treat
ment.
The Harbor of Savannah.
The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution telegraphs that paper
that the river and harbor appropriation
bill will, among its appropriations, con
tain one of seventy-five thousand dollars
for the Savannah harbor. Credit is due
to Messrs. Harris aud Blount for secur
ing this appropriation, as well as one for
the Chattahoochee of $25,000.
The Committee on Commerce intended
to give but fifty thousand dollars to Sa-
vannak harbor, but Mr. Blount, by argu
ment before the committee and personal
influence, secured the additional twenty-
five thousand dollars.
A resident of San Francisco has con
structed a boat upon an entirely new
principle. It is intended to sink down
to any depth and navigate below the sur
face, which the inventor claims it can do
in any direction, and at a high rate of
speed. Its principle is compressed air.
About Usury Laws.
The principal argument advanced by
those who champion the re-enactment of
the usury law is to the effect that with
out some kind of legal restriction the
temptation to go into debt by borrowing
money is too great to be resisted by the
average mind, and therefore it is the
plain duty of the law, as the guardian of
the general public, to interpose, in a
manner by no means perfunctory, and
rescue individuals, not so much from the
rapacity of a class as from their own im
becile profligacy. In other words, people
who find it necessary to borrow money
are not to be allowed to make their own
contracts to suit the peculiar circum
stances that may surround their individ
ual cases. Instead of leaving to the
parties most interested this delicate piece
of business, the legislator in Atlanta
is to make the bargain between bor
rower and lender in accordance with a
theory that every intelligent school-boy
will cell you is long ago exploded. Theo
retically, it may be wrong to go in debt,
but it is at least very convenient, and
sometimes even providential. The theory
of those who desire the re-enactment of
the usury law, however, is that it is not
only wrong to go in debt, but wrong
even to tempt a man to take advantage
of his credit, for the reason that as likely
as not he will fall into the hands of Shy-
locks, as they are pleased to term those
w’ho are so wretchedly unfortunate as to
have money to lend, and therefore, as a
bar against debt, the usury statute is to
be re-enacted,
Well, for the sake of argument, we will
agree with the theory of those who de
sire to see restrictions placed on money.
We will agree that it is a terrible thing to
go into debt—that the average citizen
should never be confronted by such a
temptation—and, if he should be, that it
is the duty of the government to step
soberly up and make his bargain for him.
But the question here arises, what is debt?
Can debt be contracted—as those who fa
vor usury laws appear to assume—only by
the borrowing of money? What is inter
est and what is usury? And w’here does
the one end and the other begin? Is there
no interest and no usury except the
premium which one person pays for the
use of another person’s money? If debt
can only be contracted by borrowing
money, aud if interest is confined alone
to the premium on money loans, then we
will have to make some concessions to
the usury re-euacters. The truth is, how
ever, that mere money loans and the in
terest thereon form a very small portion
of those transactions which bring about
debt. Indeed, a money loan is the
simplest and least complex form of debt,
and one in which the debtor is least liable
to be swindled or imposed upon. Why,
then, do not our friends, who are so eager
to protect the dear people, devise some
statute that will really reach the root of
the matter of which they complain—that
will really prevent people from going into
debt? Clearly, because any such effort
would excite ridicule; and yet -it would
not be one whit more ridiculous and ab
surd than to attempt to regulate the price
of money in order to protect the people.
Manifestly, if the people need protec
tion in consummating a bargain as simple
as borrowing money, they also need it in
making bargains the details of which are
as a sealed bcok to them. Nothing is
more certain than that an individual can
use his credit more effectually in buying
goods than he can in borrowing money,
nor is it auy secret that the per cent,
charged by the dealer in consideration of
the credit thus extended is something
bearing a far closer resemblance to usury
than any interest a money-lender would
think of charging. We might give other
examples to show the utter inefficiency of
the usury law to correct evils that are the
product of conditions over which statutes
have no control whatever: but this would
bring us to the necessity of cataloguing,
and for that we have not the requisite
space.
It seems that we are never to be satis
fied. Under the homestead law Jwe had
too little credit. People who really
needed accommodations had to go with
out because, although they might mort
gage their real estate or other property,
they could, at the last moment, take
refuge under the homestead. Then came
the lien law, w’hich went to the other ex
treme. As the homestead clause gives
all the advantage to the debtor,so the lien
law gave all to the creditor, and so when
settling day came there was a crash, and
in many instances the factor fell w’ith the
farmer. Law can’t accomplish every
thing, and the consequence was both
debtorand creditor experienced the hard
ships of a crude attempt to correct by
legislation what legislation cannot cor
rect.
Upon the whole, we are of the opinion
that the best thing the Legislature can
do is to let the people alone, so far as
their business affairs are concerned. Let
them make their own bargains and stand
or fall by them. Profligacy and imbe
cility will cure themselves. We advise
those legislators who want usury laws, as
well as those who do not, to examine the
provisions of Mr. Duncan's enabling act
recently introduced in the House. It is
the purpose of that act, if we understand
it, to allow a person to waive the home
stead act in favor of a creditor—in short,
to give a person an opportunity to make
a bargain without putting in his way the
temptation and the means to legally
defraud any one. Such an act is more
efficient than all the usury laws that could
be concocted. Without rendering inop
erative the homestead clause, which, in
rare cases, is really a blessing, it allows
one to use one’s own discretion in the
matter, and places it in one's power to
offer ample security for necessary accom
modations.
A Constitutional Convention
The bill introduced in both branches
of the General Assembly on Monday, and
to which reference has been made in our
special telegrams from Atlanta in regard
to a Convention, provides that the Gov
ernor be authorized and required to issue
his proclamation, ordering an election to
be held in each and every county of this
State on the second Tuesday in April
next, at which the legal voters of the
State may vote upon the question of
holding a Convention, for the purpose of
revising the State Constitution.
The second section provides that said
election shall be held at the same places
and in the same manner as elections for
members of the General Assembly are
now held in this State, the returns to be
in the same manner forwarded to the
Governor, who shall, in case a majority
of the votes polled be “For Convention,”
issue certificates of election to the per
sons chosen for delegates to said Conven
tion, and also issue his proclamation
ordering said Convention to assemble at
the Capitol, in the city of Atlanta, on the
first Tuesday in July, 1875.
Section three provides that in said
election each voter shall have printed or
written on his ticket “For Convention”
if he is in favor of holding a Conven
tion, and “Against Convention” if he is
opposed to holding a Convention, and on
the same ticket the names of the person
or persons for whom he votes for dele
gates to said Convention if held.
Section four provides that representa
tion in said Convention shall be based on
population in the ratio of one delegate to
each 4,000 inhabitants: those counties
having less than 4,000 inhabitants being
nevertheless entitled to one delegate
each. That is to say, there shall be elect

CONTESTED CASE.
In the House, the case of the contested
election from Camden county was de> ided.
King, the sitting member, on the recom
mendation of the Committee on Prlvi eges
and Elections— Mr. Turner, of Brooks,
Chairman—was declared seated.
The evidence showed that the returns
of a certain percinct called Wards was thrown
out because they were not returned to the
county consolidating managers by the au
thorized party. It was also in testimony
that had the vote* in that precinct been
counted, Anthony, colored, would have been
elected, and on this account many leading
and influential members of the House op
posed the report of the committee.
A STATE BANK.
In the Senate the following resolution was
introduced by Mr. Payne:
Whereas, The scarcity of currency in
Georgia seriously interferes with the pros
perity of the citizens; and, whereas, from
that cause manufacturing enterprises are
paralyzed; aud, whereas, one of the duties
of the Legislature is to meet the wants of
the people—
liesolvedy That the Finance Committee
examine into the feasibility of establishing
a State bank with a capital of million
dollars.
The resolution was referred to the Finance
Committee.
IN THE SENATE.
The following bills were introduced in the
Senate:
By Mr. McDaniel—To allow parties to
renounce the homestead.
By Mr. Wilcox—To prohibit fishing for
shad in the Altamaha and Ogeechee rivers
at certaio seasons.
IN THE HOUSE.
The following bills were introduced in the
House:
By Mr. Bowen—To amend the act to
facilitate the rafting of timber in Wilcox
county.
By Mr. Wilcoxon—To regulate the sale of
liquor in the State by requiring the Ordi
nary of a county, on a petition of twenty-
five citizens, to order an election on prohibi
tion.
By Mr. Warren—To repeal all special ex
emptions from jury duty in Chatham.
By Mr. Jones, of Burke—To protect in
sectivorous birds in Burke, Jefferson aud
Taylor counties.
By Mr. Black—To amend the garnishment
laws so far as they apply to laboiers aud
mechanics.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Mr. Carlton, of Clarke, introduced a reso
lution requesting the Governor to furnish a
report of the action of the Trustees of the
State University at their last session ; also,
the report of the Treasurer of the State Ag
ricultural Society ; also, requiring the Edu
cational Committees to visit the University ;
which was agreed to, and the Senate con
curred, except in the motion requiring the
committee to visit the University.
NEW MATTER.
Mr. Lamkin introduced a resolution that
no new matter be introduced after Saturday,
except on a vote of two-thirds.
PATAPSCO.
The Committee of the Stato Agricultural
Society delivered an opinion to-day, declar
ing the analysis of tho Patapsco guano by
Professor White correct, but stating that
the sample which he analyzed, by some ac
cident before it reached the Agricultural
Society, was not a fair specimen of the
manufacture of the company.
BOBBERY AND MURDER.
A horrible murder occurred here last
night. Two negroes with an axo and knife
broke the skull aud cut the throat of a fami
ly grocer named Casey, in the basement of
his store, while he was drawing whisky from
a barrel. They then robbed him of $250.
TheTaurderers have been caught. Ca3ey it

CONGRESSIONAL VOTES.
Washington. January 27.—The words *‘in
order’’ inserted in the caucus action was not
understood by many members. It appears
that the Judiciary Commit ee had presen
ted their bill and that a motion to recon
sider was pending, which Butler. Chairm n
of the Committee, could call up at any tim^.
This he did to-day “in order, as dirt etc d
by the caucus. The House has been filibus
tering all day, aud is still at it.
The Pensions Committee will report fa
vorably on the bill to pension the Mexican
war vetemns, of whom there are twenty
thousand.
The civil rights bill over which the House
is filibustering, excludes the school and
cemetery cl uses.
Mr. C nkliug will follow Mr. Thurman on
tLe Louisiana qn-stion.
In the Senate Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
from the Committee on Claims, reported
adversely on the bill to lacilitate and reduce
the expenses of taking testimony in behalf
of claimants to be used before the Com mis
signers of Claims, and it was indefinitely
postponed. He said the objects of this bill
had been already supplied by a House bill.
Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, pre
sented a concurrent resolution of the.
General Assembly of that State, asking for
an appropriation of $100,000 for tho im
provement of Charleston harbor. Referred
to the Committee on Commerce.
The Louisiana discussion was resumed
and Mr. Thurman occupied the balance of
the day. He reviewed at some length cir
cumstances attending the election of 187*2,
as well as the last election, and read fre
quently from the report of the Senate Com
mittee in regard to the frauds of the Lynch
returning board. He commented upon the
message of the President in reply to the
resolution of the 8th icst., and said a paper
more full of omissions of material
facts never eminated from a Chief
Magistrate of this country. He ar
gued that the dispatches of Sheridan
were one-sided and did not tell the whole
truth. He replied to the charges of South
ern outrages aud said the great majority of
homicides in the South were committed by
blacks upon blacks, and were not by whites
upou blacks as had been charged. In con
clusion he said it was a bad thing to assassi
nate i man, but a worse thing to assassinate
the Constitution of a State. These acts of
military in Louisiana have driven a dagger
to the heart of free institutions in this
country.

FRAUDS IN LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, January 27.—Before the
Congressi >nal Committee to-day the testi
mony of Gov. Wells was continued in regard
to the abstraction of forty or fifty affidavits
filed by Conservative counsel in the case
from Natchitoches. He stated that the pa
pers from which the Board made their report
was taken charge of by clerks, and that he
kuew nothing directly of the disposition
made of the papers after the Board had
completed their sessions. The Governor
also detailed an alleged plot to assassinate
him at the City Hotel.

Pomeroy's Scads.—A telegram from
Topeka, Kansas, says that when the res
olution to appropriate the York-Pomeroy
$7,000 to the destitute people of the
State came up in the House, a lively little
discussion ensued. Mr. Legate delivered
a eulogy on Pomeroy, and declared that
the money ought to be returned to him.
Mr. Smith replied that this $7,000 was
only a reasonable interest on the money
which Pomeroy had gobbled from the
people of Kansas in the relief operations
of 1860, and that it ought to be given to
the poor. After several motions, the
matter was finally disposed of by a vote
to indefinitely postpone it.
Trade Between Cuba and the United
States.—Havana advices state that the
exports of all articles from the consular
district of Havana to the United States
for the year 1874 were $20,000,000, of
which $7,000,000 were in cigars, leaf and
cut tobacco and cigarettes, and $12,250,-
000 in sugars and molasses. These, with
exports from other island ports to the
United States, make a total of eighty-five
millions in American gold, w'hilst the im
ports from the United States to all island
ports do not amount to more than fifteen
millions, leaving a balance of trade against
the United States of seventy millions.
Thus the New* Yo k Tribune: “The
Georgia protest against the recent mili
tary outrage in New Orleans is no less
emphatic than those that have come from
other States; but its most significant and
commendable feature, as the utterance cf
a Southern Legislature, is its condemna
tion of all forms of lawlessness coupled
with an appeal to the oppressed people of
Louisiana to suffer still in patiende, look
ing only to legal means of redressing
their wrongs.”
The Centennial Mogul, Goshorn, took
a number of Congressmen to Philadel
phia on Saturday, to show them Centen

pation is to insure Congressional good
will, and get several millions out of the
National Treasury for the exhibition of
1876.
Passengers fob Europe.—The numbe
of passengers sailing from New York on
Saturday last was not large. Cargoes
were up to the standard, each ship being
loaded with grain, flour, provisions, ba
con. leather, apples, lard aud general
merchandise. The Elysia had eight cabin
and eighty-five steerage, the America

THE END NOT IN SIGHT.
[Special telegram to the Morning News.]
A movement is on foot in Vicksburg,
Miss., to make good the negro Sheriff
Crosby's bond on condition that he gets
out of the way, and puts an acceptable
deputy in the office who will have full
charge. Many citizens condemn the
project, believing Flanagan the legally
elected Sheriff, and that he ought to be
sustained in the courts.
A Tragic Affair in New Hampshire.—
BradfordN. II., January 22.—A shock
ing affair occurred here this forenoon.
Mrs. John Emerson was found, about 10
o’clock, sitting in the kitchen of her
house, vith her head literally blown from
the body. Her husband was at the barn.
He heard the report of a gun, and, enter
ing the house, he found his wife as above
stated, with knitting work in her hands.
A double-barreled shot-gun discharged
was on the floor. The greatest excite
ment prevails in the community. Mrs.
Emerson has been married but a few
months. She was twenty years old, and
was not known to have an enemy. The
whole affair is shrouded in mystery.

CONSECRATION OF A BISHOP.
Baltimore, January 27.—The Rev. Thoa.
U. Dudley, late Rector of Christ Church ir.
this city, was to-day consecrated Assistant
Bishop* of Kentucky. Tho church was
crowded to excess. The service com
menced at half-past eleven aud continued

Memorial Church of Baltimore, acted as
Master of Ceremonies. Rev. C. J. Gibson,
of Grace Church, Petersburg, Va., and Rev.
Thos. A. Jaggar, of the Church of the Hoiy
Trinity, of Philadelphia, read the morning
service. The first lesson was read by Rev.
Frederick James, Rector of St. Mark's
Church in this city, and the second lesson
by Rev. Cannon Bancroft, of Montreal, Can
ada. The serniou was preached by Bishop
Johns, of Virginia, and the consecration
services performed by Bishop Smith, of
Kentucky, senior Bishop of the Episcopal
Church. * Rev. Dr. Whittle, assistant Bishop
of Virginia; Rev. Dr. Pinkney, assistant

Lord Bishop of Huron, Canada, took part in

THE BEECHER CASE.
New York, January 27.—Moulton conclu
ded his testimony in the Beecher case to

a Plymouth Church communicant, and an
intimate friend cf Mrs. Tilton, whose testi
mony was soon concluded. Wm. T. West,
also of Plymouth Church, and Franklin
Woodruff; Moulton’s partner, testified.
THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
New Orleans, January 27.—In his inves
tigation by the Congressional Committee,
Gov. Wells”said he was informedjby a friend
of the design to assassinate hint. Counsel
desired the name of this friend, but Wells
declined to give it because of chances he
might be injured thereby. Gen. T. C. An
derson affirmed tho statoment of Wells.
Mr. J. B. Suritz was placed upon the stand
by Democratic counsel to rebut the testi
mony in regard to tho attempted assassina
tion at the City Hotel. He slated in sub
stance that at the hotel on the day named,
there were two drunken men, and that fear
ing something might occur from the men
being drunk, he advised Mr. Scruggs to take
Mr. Wells out, which was done.
Considerable evidence was taken concern
ing the intimidati m of voters. Pierson, of
Natchitoches, swore that his life Whs threat
ened and that he was assaulted several
times duriug the campaign. Several others
testified to tbe same effect. Those who re
counted murders, however, could not swear
they were committed for political purposes.

What Can Be Done?—Mr. Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., writes to The Nation
as follows, concerning the Louisiana
problem :
“ But what is to be done to-day ? One
thing that I can see, and only one, can
be done. Let the Conservative Legisla
ture of Louisiana give solemn notice to
the whole world that they are now sub
jected by force to a usurpation, every act
of which is null and void, and shall be so
treated hereafter. Let them publicly de
clare that, so surely as the day of relief
comes, ever}* debt contracted by the
usurping government shall be repudiated;
every tax title issued set aside. Let them,
in one word, publish to the world the ex
isting administration of the State as a
fraud, by no act of which will the people
of Louisiana be bound, so soon as they
are restored to the control of their own
affairs. This one solemn notice given,
let the Conservative Legislature hold up
its hands in submission and disperse;
the rest may safely be left to the people
of the whole country. Two years is a
short time when at the expiration of it
relief is sure. During that brief time let
no Conservative of Louisiana go to the
polks or enter a legislative hall; the worse
their oppression, the better. Let them
simply submit. They need not fear that
a day of reckoning will not come; and
then the Government of the United States
and all public opinion will justify them
in treating their present rulers as crimi
nals, and each and every one of their of
ficial acts as absolutely and ab initio null
aud void.”
