Tag New York Times says: "The rols of the colored parsons in polities in South Carolina appears to be, aooording to their own interpretation of it, somewhat arbi trary. Uer. Mr. Jackson, an enthusiastic preacher and politician In Charleston, has stricken from the list of members of his ohureh all who eoted the Independent Republican ticket in the recent election.” But in Louisiana the Federal officials and military prosoeute and ran down with osTblry white men who pledge tbeuiselvea not to employ negroes who sustain the Kellogg usurpation and rasoality. What are they going to do with that Uadionl preaoher in Charleston ? It la stated that the reports of the Northern Paeillo Railroad fail to eocount for tan millions of dollars of the money raised for its construction. A special to the Cincinnati Commercial says: “A very large portion of the ten millions was used in bribing newspapers. The religious press got a large slioe of this ranoid fat. The editorial columns of the newspapers and the money departments were pur chased, that they might be used in de ceiving the people as to the value of the road.

We think the proposition too clear to requirf argument. Such laws would, to some extant,havnihn effect desired by those who may wish to puts stop altogether to,borrowing and the credit system. But a better Way to effect this object would be by the sage of laws directly forbidding borrow ing at any rale of interest. The presen tation of the question in this shape shirwe its impracticability in tbs present Condi tion of this country. It would repress enterprise, retard improvement, and ren der almost hopeless the condition of many of our best citixens. Our section must have credit, and the thought which we are enabled to give to the suhjeot convinces us that the way to obtain it at the cheap est rates ts to induce borrowers to plaoe the largest amounts of their money upon the market. \ **te ^reaaurer, and Messrs Olbsoa, d ffffcnesff- Levy, > HsrraTl and Nash Con- XEW YORKERS IE UEORUIA. We are indebted to Gunby Jordan for a copy of the Allegany County Reporter, published at Wellsvllle, N, Y. It con tains letters from several New Yorkers lately settled in Madison oounty, Ga., to 0. H. Bimmons, Esq., on whose lands in this State they appear to have settled. They all apeak in high terms of the land*, tbo climate, and the people, and express their entire satisfaction with their change of residence. We hope that the aooounts which they have sent back will have a good effeet In inducing other good North ern men to remove to Georgia. The Re porter is a Republican paper; so we may hope that the acoounts whioh these North, ern immigrants give of the peaceable and friendly character of the oilixena.of Georgia will be circulated "where they will do the most good-” We make an ex tract of a letter from Fred Lyons to Mr. Bimmons: My impressions on arriving here were favorable. Osn say have not had any reason to change the same. All aetma to he alive here. I cannot help but think of the difference in the weather hore and at the North. When I left it was cold, chilly weather, and one to ride needed on plenty of wraps aad then oould hardly be comfortable. Here wo found tho climate lovely indeed, although it was the middle of November, it seemed like September weather at the North. The air seemed purer and fresher, one can breathe so much easier it seems. I also like the wator very much. Have been nearly all over the plantation, and should think it a No. 1 place, and by those that have known it for a longer time than I have, it is pronounced one of the vary beat for small grains, suoh as winter wheat, oats, rye, Ac., all of which are looking well, and as you oan raise all these here, it seems ns though a man oonld make a living if he has a dls- New York Indeptnd- kind, br *‘ 'omoasible that a “° a " < * t u tJ ** , , soars: Mono i.o*. «e*. * n “ Northern men who have been perhaps, being th^ET J I sponsibio-rt-nars tell me they find ent. It does not eeetii VrSAttisnassMaMsRroroavwNWttEnas^jre must deohne as at few pious Congressmen, as well an able editors, may have been ‘in to rusted.’ ” Notwitbstamdiho the faot that the Judiciary Gommittoo of the House of Representatives has appointed a sub committee to draft a new Civil Rights bill, some of the reports from Welling ton insist that it is the intention of the Uadioal majority to pass such a bill as will produce conflicts between the whites and blaoks of the South, in the belief that the Republican party of the North will bo thereby strengthened! Bpeoial Washington dispatches say that the pres ent oalm in Congress is only the pre cursor of a storm; that in Isas than a wash the Radical party will be pitching the paaaags of a bill intended to anforoe social equality in all mattors affected by Bumner’a bill exoept publio schools and cemeteries, having ascertained that Gen. Grant will sign the bill with these modifi cations ; and that if the execution of the measure should provoke a war of races at the South, it will be just what the Radioal leaders desire: their idea is that this will save their party. We still have hope that there is con eervatlam enough in the Republican party to refrain from going farther than Mr. White's reported substitute provides for. VBURY-AUAIM, The discussion on this question is eon. tinued by the press of the State, tho pre. ponderenoe of opinion being deoidedly in favor of the existing laws. Of the Atlanta press, the Constitution and Nets* are opposed to the ra-enaotment of the old Usury laws,aud the Ilerald is in favor of them. Gen. Toombs, Col. Adair and Mr. J. H. James are most prominent among the gentlemen not connected with the prom who have deolared themselves in favor of usury laws. The Atlanta correspondent of the Au gusta Chronicle (who is opposod to the old laws) instances an argument in favor of laws limiting the rato of interest, whioh is common among those who oall for the re-euactmeut of tho old law. He reporta a gentleman as saying that five years ago he borrowed $.">,000, had already paid $8,000 of the debt, and Btill owed $10,000 on the same obligation, and re marked that it had nearly ruined him ; and he used the fact as an illustration of the evil operation of the free money poliey. This man's* experience is oertaiuly a bard one. But it is evident that Usury laws would not have protected him. In deed, aooording to our recollection tbo Usury laws were iu foroe five years ago, but we have no ready reference to deter mine this. However that may be, it is apparent that this borrower must have wanted money so badly that he and the man who loaned it would have evatled the law to effeot the transaction—a very ooui- rnon ooourreuoe, as everybody knows. We have made a calculation and find that he eontraeted to pay over seventy per cent. interest on the $5,1100 whioh he borrowed. Of oonrae ho could not have expected to must here three or ___ no difficulty in working all summer; the North. Suoh a thing as sun was never experienced hero, and they (the Southerners) oan hardly think they have them at the North. While I am plowing, iu my shirt sleeves, preparing ground for winter wheat, rye and oats, many of tb'p farmers there are trying to keep warm for employment I presume. Yesterday my wife and myself were in vited to a Thanksgiving dinner at Mr. B. W. Copeland’s where we bad tho pleasure of meeting a large number of Northern ladies and genttemen, and I must say they were as intelligent a company as one need wish to meet; many of them were grad uates of the best colleges and ssmiuaries of the North. All are contented and have no desire to try the North again. I met some from the West, some from New Jer sey, Ohio and New York. All seem to bo on tho beat of terms with eaoh other. I aai sure I oould not wish for a kinder recep tion than ws have had here, and I would not have you thluk that iA is only from the people of the North, for Southern men and tbeir families have a kind word for you, afld Haupt retorted with aeverity upas: Kenner. Governor Wells, Prasident of the Hoard, interfered to put them. The (Jpb*rvaU>se then pro- inat bs Board’s canvassing Rf farther, and demanded Moneqre be declared sleeted gressmen eleet. After some discussion, John Ray, Radioal oonnael, who had never left the room, stepped over and whispered into 6ov. Rule' ear. Oev. Wells rose, And in an exoited and nervous manner demanded an immediate adjournment. Everybody looked surprised, and Qov. Wells proceeded: “I learn from a cred itable aod trustworthy source that armed bodies of men are congregated in aeigh- boringbuildings ready to interrupt the pro ceedings of the board.” The Conservatives declared that the alarm was a false one, and expressed a willingness to have United States troops introduced, but Wells insisted on adjourning the Board. Ws copy tbs following editorial from the Picayune of Tuesday : Sunday evening Gov. Kellogg sent for acting chief of polios Leoleru, to whom he unfolded his ideas of coming avents, and informed him of the necessity of the poliee msking a final stand. Leclerc felt donbtful of the fighting material, but in accordance with Kellogg's orders, he tele graphed to all the polioe captains of the oily to meet him at the office on Caron- delet street. The captains, accordingly, flat, and on being informed that Kellogg biahed to prepare for battle, they contu maciously assorted that they would fight no more against the oitisens. Kellogg wishen to be informed of the number of men under eaob captain who might be re lied opon in the event of a fight; bat his spirits must have sunk within him on re- oeivtng the information that not one wonld handle a gun for him. Several of the offioers of police, on the oontrary, as serted that if any of their men should again harness themselves for tho fight in the interest of Kellogg, or declare their intention beforohandof doing so, they wonld make it as disagreeable for them as possible in the meantime. Alnbunan legislature. Tuesday, 15tA._The Benate took up and referred to its oommitteea a numbor of House bills. Thef allowing were passed: To make it lawful for sheriffs to exeoute processes issued by magistrates, and re ceive the usual foes for the same (includes nearly all the counties); to onable guard ians of minora to lease the real estate of said minors for a term not exceeding five years; joint memorial to Congress to grant pensions to the surviving soldiers of the Mexican war (amended so as to in- olude Indian wars preceding the Mexiean war); to prohibit the giving away or sale of liquour within three miles of the Ala bama Agricultural College at Auburn ; to repkal the aot establishing the Criminal Court of Bullock oounty ; to requiro the State Treasurer to Btamp the State's obli gations. The House passed the Senate bill to abolish tho Criminal Court of Bullock oounty. A number of new bills wore in. troduoed on the call of counties, and most of them referred. Among them is a bill to regulate tho fees of notaries public and Justices of the Peace in Calhoun and tins .vote Tlje committees of the 'stroke When j^flolnted.
