THE CAPITOL..
The Senate hue passed a bill repealing
the usury laws ot the State. The bill
permits the collection of whatever rate of
interest may bo “nominated in the bond,
and where no rate is named, the old
seven per cent, prevails. This, if it
should And favor with the House and
meet with no unfavorable treatment in
Executive quarters, will make money an
article of merchandise, and give the
money-lender the same opportunity that
the merchant has. A merchant is per
mitted to make and colloct by law his
twenty-five, or more, per cent., while ho
who has the money to loan takes all the
risks taken by a merchant, and is allowed
to collect by due process of law, not ex
ceeding Bcven per cent. This seems to
be a discrimination against tho money
lender.
It is claimed, however, that the usury
laws are necessary for the protection
debtors As a general tluug a man’s
intelligence is his best protector, and if
he agrees to pay ten per cent, for the use
of money, ho does ao believing that the
money is worth that to him. If ho is
mistaken, it is his own fault, and his mis
take ought not to absolve him from lia
bility for his part of the contract
Money, like any other article of mer
chondise, will bring what it is worth and
no more. The market will very soon
regulate itself, by the rule of supply and
demand, just as the ba ton or cotton mar
ket does. Therefore we do not seo how
the debtor is wronged by the provisions of
this bill. The proposed law docs not raise
the role of interest, in contracts already
made, hence present debtors are not
wronged; and men who, after its enact
ment, may beoomo debtors, do so with a
full knowledge of the risk ho assumes,
and ought to be held responsible, just as
the man is who buys a bill of goods on
time, with a perfect understanding that
he is paying twenty-five per cent more
than the goods cost the merchant. There
is some equity to be reganlod, even in
tho enactment of laws regulating dealers
in money.
The Atlanta Bill, we are glad to see,
has become a law so far as concurrent
action on the part of the Senate is con
cerned. It now goes to the Governor,
who, we doubt not, will approve it, os
he must bo aware that it has tho ap
proval of a large majority of the voters
of Atlanta, who, alone, are affected by
it
The Judiciary Committee, to which
was referred tho bills relative to bringing
on a special election .for Governor, w ith
instructions to report yesterday morning,
asked further timo.^which was promptly
granted. This was proper, as there
should ho no indecent haste in a matter
of such grave importance. While there
should not be tho least unnecessary de
lay, there should bo no unduo haste, as
the movement is one in which it is pre
eminently important that no wrong or
hurtful step should bo made. But the
matter is in snfo hands, and wo are wil
ling to abide tho issue.
save one of them from the punishment
which he merits. On the contrary, wo
would he glad if some of tho wretches
could be captured and examples made of
them fo'dofor others from similar acts of
lawlessness.
But the Era knows very well that the
peoplo of Georgia do not sanction the
commission of any of thoso outrages any
more than tho peoplo of Indiana sanction
the attempt made the other day to take
a criminal from the Jeffersonvillo jail and
hang him without trial; or any moro than
the people of Illinois sanction the horri
ble villainy that spread the fiames
throughout Chicago. Tho men who do
these deeds are monsters, who do not
reprosent our politics or our society, and
the majority of Georgia Democrats would
be gratified if some of them wero caught,
triod, convicted and hanged.

serials in the Atlantic Monthly next year
will be a biography of Thomas Jefferson,
by James Parton. Alas, if the Sage of
Monticello had known that his reputa

have mode a hermit of himself nnd never
have let the world know how great a man
he was. Had this anuouncement been
made a hundred years ago, the world
would never have had a Declaration of

■SU If there is anything in the world
that could, at this late day, make Chicago
regret having been burned, it is the fact
that half tho poetlings of the country

these poems, the following three stanzas,
from the Newark Advertiser, is an average
sample:

Hiram Warner.
No man in Georgia i* better qualified
to till tho office of Governor tlmu Judge
Warner. Ho is an old, faithful public
servant, whose distinguishing character
istic is unimpeachable integrity, and his
sterling worth and devotion to duty no
man ever questioned, while native Intel
lectual powers and superior ability emi
nently qualify him for any position
within tho gift of the poople of Goorgin;
while his fino legal ability and experience
ns a judicial officer eminently fit him fo
tho office of Governor at this time. Bui
look’s vacancy could not bo any better, if
so well filled, in ono respect, by any man
in Georgia: jio would givo us a good jn-
diciary all over tho Stutc. Ho knows all
of the judges and lawyers, and knows
their fitness for judicial positions. The
peoplo are sick of dishonesty and rascali
ty, and want an honest man for Gover
nor aa well as other offices. Hiram War
ner is tho man. Fuddicus.
ANOTHER RECOMMENDS HIM.
Strange that it hns not occurred to
some ono to suggest tho name of Judge
Warner for Governor. His eminent fit
ness as a great expounder of law, his de
votion to our common country, his sacri
fices for the public good, his age, his un
sullied purity and great ability—all em
inently qualify him for the high office.
He belongs to no faction or ring, bat has
the interests of the whole State at heart.
We trust younger aspirants will bo will
ing to leave their claims in abeyance, cud
place him in the Gubernatorial offleo.

“Out of Their Own Months,” Ac
Tho New Era of yesterday morning
has tho following item, credited to tho
Jjavapufili iVoios. The matter escaped
our notico in tho News;
Wo aw permitted to muko tho follow
ing extract from a private letter from
Mobley's Fond, Screven county. ’ , ' h "
trouhlo'occurrcd in Burko comity;
“Thero is qnfto a panic above hero
among tho negroes. Tho veritable Ku-
klux appeared about six miles from this
plaoe, at Oliver’s Mill, and shot five balls
through Bice Heath, s negro, who was
living in adultery with a whito women
named Griffin.' They thou strapped the
woman across n log and whipped her so
severely that she could not sit up yes
terday. They treated another negro
(George Nossmitb) likewise, nnd went up
near Ellison’s Landing (lime works),
killed another nogro by shooting him,
and took another off, who hns not been
heard of since. All this occurred last
Wednesday night. Thoy stopped at
Brigham’s store, bought whisky, and, in
answer to the question by Brigham where
they ware ffom, replied, .Helll and we
piuat bo baokbeforoday.’ Some of them
wero not disguised, but wore perfect
strangers to Brigham.
Such outrageous conduct as this seems
to us to ho ruffianism, pure and simple.
Hardly any provocation can bo held up
ns an excuse for such flagrant rowdyism,
and we trimt that tho good people of
Burke will lose no time in bringing the
offenders to justice. Besides breeding
local strife and dissension, such outrages
bring punishment and oppression upon
thp innocent people iu <lb) i4*apo- of
Federtl satraps amt martial law. Law
lessness of this sort is always t-oudetmied
by good oltUons, and should, under no
circumstances, bo tolerated.
We copy tho above article at this late
day, for two purposes. Ono is to rebake

gtaje, mid t(m Other ip to inrtuyao what
the Savannah N‘<t* says in tlio but para
graph of the article. There is no donbt
but that the Era meant harm by the
manner in which the item was produced
in its editorial ooHimns. It meant to
oreate an impression that a state of af
fairs exists, which is lawless and disor
derly, and by no means credilablo to the
people of Ororgis. It does not say so,
in so many words, bflt that is the infer
ence the rhader draws.

A few days ago thoMcmphis Arab ruche
said, “That a few Southern Conservative
Journals indorse the proposition for the
Democracy to put forward no candidate
in 1872,” Ac. The Scn asked tho A
lanche to “inform the public whethcrany
Sontlicrn Democratic journals, either
‘lialf-way’ or wholly indorso the propo
sition." The Aealunche fails to name
any such papers, but says “The Scn
distinctions aro too fino.” It then goes
on to say: “but Tim Sun speaks of
‘Southern Democracy. ’ ’’ The Sun did
nothing of tho kind. It spoke of
“Southern Democratic journals;” suppo
sing tlio 'Adrianche would havo intelli
gence enough to know, nnd lioucsty
enough to admit that Tiie Sun had ref
erence to thoso papers published iu the
South which are advocates of Democratic
sentiment. The Sun knows lint one
Democracy, and repudiates ;el others.—
)t repudiated tho “New Departure” be
cause it wasspurioiis and false. Tho Do-
mocruoy advocated by The Sun is the

same in Oregon and Florida; tho same
in Massachusetts and South Carolina;
tho snmo in Tennessee und Georgia;
tho snmo in Memphis and Atlanta;
tho sumo in tho days of Jcflcrson

was not Democracy, aud it perished.
Democracy cannot be ”p;issivo,” so
that movement can never havo life. De
mocracy is tho bone mid sinew of the
theory of American Government. It
must bo kept active or it will weaken and
tho Government will fail. It is not
cramped to tho narrow wishc, uf a lo
cality OF a state. It is as broad as the
Union, ns truo ns truth, os spotless ns a
virgin. It is a revelation from which
nothing cun bo taken and to which
nothing may be added. It is all suffi
cient. It .needs no intrigue to cozzcn
people into its support. It uiccti every
want; gratifies every ambition; protects
every fight'; avenges pvefy wrong; advan
ces every interest; encourages every in
dustry; fosters an enduring patriotism;
toaches a veneration for “ the old Hag;"
builds up and pulls.not down; iu short,

This is Democracy—it is “ Souther;;

The Gubernatorial Nomination.
Messrs. Editors; Allow mo to suggest
Honorable Joseph B. Cummiug, of Rich
mond, as an eminently fit person to re
ceive the nomination of tho Democracy
for the office of Governor of Georgia.
Although comparatively young, ho is well
known to tho peoplo of iho State. His
name is a household word, and his worth
ily won fame is tunong tho jewels of our
noble old Commonwealth. Graduated
at the University in 1854, with the high
est honors of his class—possessing a su
perior mind, disciplined by severe study,
enriched by a wide range of reading, and
expanded by extensive travel, and intel
ligent observation—warmed up and) en
ergized by a great Georgian heart, pulsa
ting only for tho good uud glory of his
country and his kind—his oast is the
pledgo of tho future. In “the days that
tried men’s souls,” ho won his star by
tlio most arduous, faithful and gallant
service.
Tlio Democracy could not do them
selves greater honor than by honoritm
him—tlio scholar, tho soldier, tho patriot^
tho man. His friends call him Bayard—
tho “knight without fear und without
