WEDNESDAY.... FEBRUARY 17, 1875.
THE VKCRY QUESTION.
Tbo nctioa of ths two bouse*, no f*r,
on the Usury bill* indicates that the Leg
islature mill upon tbis, as upon other
questions, rofrain from passing any meas
ure materially changing tho existing order
of things. It seems to be the determina
tion of tho majority in each house to pre
scribe tome limit to tbs rate of interest,
fyet so far they hare not agreed upon the
point of limitation. That is what we nn-
derstand to be the main difference bo-
tureen the Senate and House bills. Of tho
two we prefer the House bill, because it
allows the highest rate of interest by con-
traot, and is therefore likely to bring out
the most money loaned in a legal way.
We would, ns we have heretofore aatd,
have preferred to let the laws on tbis sub
ject stand as they are. Hut the bill of
the House is a fair compromiso between
extreme views on tbis shhjeet, and will
probably cause tbo locking up of bnt little
money that would otherwise be loaned.
We can understand and appreciate the
reasoning of those who want Usury laws
passed for the purpose of limiting credit.
They believe tbut the Southern people
can never work their way out of their
present embarrassments upon borrowed
capital, and they are no doubt oorrect in
this notion ho far as it is applicable to a
great many borrowers. Bnt we fail to
seethe justiee of throwing obstacles in
the way of one man's borrowing money
because his neighbor would be injured by
borrowing. Oredit of thin sort is a bless
ing that may be abused, but beeause it
may be abused or fall to benefit somo
persons, is no good reason why other
persona should be debarred from enjoy
ing it.
The other idea—that monoy will bo
cheaper if the rate of interest is limited
to a low per cent, byluw—is a sheer delu
sion. It will bs made dearer and harder
to borrow, because many monied men
will withdraw their fuuda from the mar
ket, and the others willovudt the law and
charge all the interest they can get. We
know bow it was under the old Usury
laws, when money was morn abundant in
the South than it now is. There is not a
■iugla fact which warrants the belief that
it would now be different under the same
lawn. With this, as with nearly every
other commodity, the supply will regulate
the prioe, and the only way to obtain low
rates of interest is to leavo tho field open
to the largest supply, and the greatest
competition.
We trust that if any bill on Ibis sub-
jeot is passed, it will be the Honse bill,
allowing interest by written agroeuiont as
high as 12 per cent, pur annum.
The Montgomery Journal, lamenting
the passage by the Honse of Representa
tives of the bill to repoul the “Reoogni-
r.snoe” law of Alabama, says tkera is
reason to fear that it will oanso 25,000
prisoners to be fed in tho jails during the
onsning twelve months. As the ropeal
will simply leave in effect the old laws for
tho imprisonmeat of thieves and other
oriiuiuals—laws similur to those of all tho
other States—lliia remark is not compli
mentary to the people ..f Alabama, especial
ly to tho Journal'» own party, for which it
is evidently moat sulioitona. But is it not
better and fairer that thieves should be
fed in jails at the public expense than
that they should remain at largo to steal
their living from honest citizens ?
The Journal also my i that the mom
berH from tho ‘‘border counties" stated
thul tuo ltjcognizanee law had the effect
of freeing them of Ihoir vicious classes.
In other words, the criminals “released
on their owu recognizance'' ran off icto
the adjoining Slates before the day of
trial, so ns to esoupe punishment. This is
acothor argument in favor of the repeal
of the law. What right has Alabama to
turn loose her criminals, iinwliippcd of
juntioe, upon the people of other State-?
Would not this leniency encourage thorn
to the commission of new orimes in the
States to whioh they lied, and would there
ever be au end to their round of crime if
every State treated them with the consid
eration shown by Alabama?
The proposition made in the Radical
caucus at Washington, and vehemently
supported by tho carpet-baggers, to pro
vent Georgia from prescribing payment
of n poll tax as a qualification of votors,
ia a lather cool one, considering that it is
a provision of the Radical constitution of
Georgia and war once passed upon and
approved by a thoroughly Radical Con
gress. That Congress found objection to
another part of the constitution of Geor
gia, but nono to this. If wo mistake
not, the “Reconstruction" law of Con
gress, prescribing the conditions of res
toration of the Southern States, author
ized and invited this qualification of
voters. But it seems that the lladieala
misrepresenting the South failed to bring
them up to the iuceusisleucy of support
ing this proposed new innovation on the
rights of the States.
The Gritliu AVios charges that some
members of the Legislature are “making
• good thing by leasing out thsir free
passe* on the railroads.'' It instances a
case in which a man, not a member of
the Legislature rode on a member’s pass
over the Macon & Western Railroad, rep
resenting himself to lio a member. Tuis
matter should be looked into. It abould
also be ascertained whether members hav
ing free passes, and thus paying no trav
eling expenses, charge the -State for
“mileage."
—As Colorado is said to havo such mar-
velous effect upou broken-down constitu
tion*, it might be a good plan to take the
Constitution of the Uuited States out
there.—Chattanooga Time*.
No, they are going to take Colorado to
the Constitution of the United State*, by
admitting her as a State before she has
more than half the population of a Rep
resentative District. But if the “broken
down" old instrument has any of its spirit
still left, the effect must be injurious
rather thou beneficial.
—“Eve and her girls” was the subject
of a lecture recently delivered in Chicago
by ffTemale lecturer. It was not illus-
tinted.
ALABAMA LEU IA L AT U RE.
Monday, loth. —In the Senate, the fol

—Two priuters named W. R. St. Charles
aud J. J. Bagin, who were coming from
Columbus, Georgia, to this oity, had
walked as far as Auburn on Thursday
uight, whoro thoy built a firo by iho side
of a railroad traok. A freight traiu came
along at 1 o'clock aud they got aboard,
hut huviug no money to pay their faro, the
oonduotor ordered them off. As the train
was running very fast they nuked him to
“slack up" as they would do so.
The traiu was slacked very little,
aud they still refused, when the conductor
struck St. Charles with a stick, and then
they both jtunpod at groat risk to their
liver. As they jumped three shots wore
fired at them, ouo striking St. Charles in
the left jaw, where it remained until yoa-
terday, when it was extracted by one of
our city physicinns. Those two men
walked from Auburn to this plaee since
thou, and here walked from Savannah to
this city, eui’euvoring to get work at their
profesaion.—Montgomery Journal.
If I Had Leisure —A good article of
advico ia contained in the following clip
ping. Road it aud bo profited:
“ If I had loasure I would repair t|iat
weak place iu my fence,' said a farmer.
He had none, however, and while drink
ing eider with a neighbor, the eowa broke
iu and injured a prime piece of corn. He
had leisure then to repair hiB fence, hut it
did not bring back lua corn.
“ If I had leisure," said a wheelright,
lestwiuter, “I would alter my stove-pipe,
for I know it is not safe." But he did not
find lime, end when hia shop caught tire,
and burned down, he fonud time to build
another.
" If I had leisure,” said a mechanic,
“ I should have my work dono in season."
The mun thinks his timehas been all occu
pied, but he was not at work till after sun
rise; hcquit work ut five o’clock, smoked a
cigar after dinner, and apent two hours on
the street talkiug uousenso with au idler.
“If I had leisure," said a tuerclmut, “I
wool J pay more attention to accounts."
Thu chance iarny friend, if you had leisure,
you would probably pay less attention to
the matter than yon do now. The thing lack-
iug with hundreds of (armors who till the
■oil is not more leisure,but more resolution
—the spirit to do—to do now. If the farmer
who sees tho feuoe in a poor condition
would only act at once, how much might
be saved. It would prevent breeohy cat
tle creating quarrels among neighbors,
that in many cases terminate in lawsuit*
which take nearly all they are both worth
to pay the law yers.—Annual of Phrenol
ogy anti Physiognomy for 1875,
—Let us he just, though the heavens
fall. Tho Government has begun to
economize. A mail agent named Rad
ford, who was killed on the 25tb of No
vember while in the discharge of his
duties on the Baltimore and Ohio road,
had that morning beeu paid bis inunth’s
wages iu full. Tho amount thus over
drawn was live day’s pay, whioh hss been
duly extorted from the widow. Contrast
with this tho back pay and forward-pay of
Congressmen.— Xeuhtille Union.
ITU' HELLISH HATE.
NEW YOBK REPUBLICAN ON THE CON
DITION or TEE SOUTH.
To tb. Union and American:
I noticed iu • recent isros of your paper
an extract from the Motion Herald, giving
the rotneTka of the Rev. (?) B. J. Ivea,
who calls himself a minister of the Gospel.
I read it “more in sorrow thsu anger,”
that a man claiming to be from uy native
State, end, worse yet, claiming to be a
follower o( the “meek and lowly Jesus,”
should proclaim to the world the startling
affirmation “that the more he hated the
Booth the more he loved God."
It is evident that thi* man ia not either
e Christian minister or a New Yorker. My
glorious old Slate—the Empire State—
would spurn from her bosom such a slen
derer upon humanity, end shudder to have
it even hinted that he dared to claim her
as his native place. As to bis claim to be
a minister, he is self-condemned; no
words of mine could sink him lower in
the moral seal* than hi* owu infamous
tongua has already uttered. But enough
of this.
I am, as stated shove, ■ native of New
York. Republican is my politics. I have
beau for a number of years pasta resident
of this plaoe, aud my business bee been
such si to cell me through every State of
the South, save one—Texes. In my jour
neying I have never yet failed, when
asked, to proclaim myself a Northern-
born man aud n Republican. I have been
in the mountain fastness, the glens, dales,
and along the rippling stream*, adown the
wide river, end upon the oars; have slept
in palaces and hovels; have camped with
the mountaineers aud fared sumptuously
with the merchant and planter princes of
the Sonny South; have met it* poor, it*
rich, ite slave* of th* olden t mes, and
their umoh abused owners, and I nm
proud to say that I have never met one
in *11 the broad Southland who has not
welcomed mo to hie hearth and home, end
fraternized with me as if I had been one
of tbe original “fire eaters" *nd born of
tbo same soil. I desire to lend my feeble
pen in aid of these people, who *re cursed
without stint by those who go South not to
labor and buildup, bat like Arabs, to fold
thoir tents around the land and steal away
ailently, till they have rooked them dry,
aud then return North to calumniate the
viotims, of tbetr greed end dishonesty.
Edwin Tatloe.
—Toe Louisville Courier Journal, iu
sketching the character of ex President,
now Senator-eleot, Andy Johnson, Bays ;
“Johnson hss never been.* drunkard, nor,
excepting the war period, what oan lie
fairly called a drinking man. Now and
then ho takes a glasa too much, and on
such occasions has been especially un-
lucky in having hie exoesses made absurdly
luminous, aa when he wee inaugurated
Vice President, and when he was ealled
out in Nashville a few years ago by
the Green Lins excursionists. In the mein,
however, he is a bard-working men, not
given to vicious irregularities, self-con
tained, dignified, aud, though reserved,
courteous."
THE “WILD MAE** KILLED.
A MURPEREB IN 1868 FINDS RETRIBUTION
AT LAST.
Watvrboro (New York) Correspondence of the
New York Herald.
J. N. Mastei, of this place, has received
a letter from a relative in Ban Franoisoo,
Cel., formerly a resident of Ulster ooun
ty, this State, giving tbe particulars of
the killing of a desperado in that State,
known aa tbe “Wild Men of Colusa,” who
proves to be Jeremiah Smith, the perpe
trator of what is known aa the “wayside
murder,” near Homowae, Ulster oounty,
iu the f ill of 1868. Smith murdered hie
wife aud child iu the road near his resi
dence, by pounding them to death with ■
atone, lie then fled, end ■ large reward
waa offered for his capture. At least
twelve men answering hiB decription were
arrested in different parts of the country,
but none of them proved to be he. He
waa traoed by detectives as far aa Utah,
and there all trace of him waa lost.
About three or four years ego there ap
peared in the sage brush in Cols county,
California, a strange human being. He
was dressed in tbe ekina of animals and
was ulwaya armed. His bair aud beard
were of extraordinary length. He haunt
ed Hindi settlements, end when tbele were
no men around, made raids on thehouBea,
securing whatever plunder was to be had.
He cume to be the terror of the county,
and narrowly osoaped with bis life sev
eral times when surprised by men, who
were hunting him. A few weeks since he
made one of bia visits to a house where
the inmetee refused to comply with hie
demands, and tbe door was barred against
him. He emptied the contents of three
revolvers in tbe house, seriously wound,
ing a woman, and then retreated to the
swamp. The next day a party went ont
to capture him and succeeded in doing so.
He was lodged in the oounty jail.
The particulars of this affair were seen
by Mr. Maston iu a copy of the Ban
Francisco Chronicle. The description of
the wild tnau answered that of Smith so
nearly, including a Anger missing from
one of his hands, that be wrote to hia
relative, enclosing s photograph of the
murdorer. When the letter was received
in San Franoisco the party to whom it was
addressed proceeded to Cola county, and
found that the wild men bad escaped
from jail. He showed the letter aud pho
tograph to several men, who declared at
once that there was a groat resemblance
between the piotnre and the wild man. A
search was at once instituted for the es
caped prisoner. Several men, among
them Mr. Musten'a relative, followed him
for days through the thiokets, and finally
came up with him. He at ouce showed
fight, aud commenced firing at the party.
Tbe fire was returned and the men fell.
Mr. Townsend, tbe former Ulster county
man went ap to him and recognized him,
and was recognized in return. 8mitb
died in a few hours. He had eluded jus
tice for nearly seven years.
Tbe Krqnel to a Ghost llsry.
From tlw Dubuque Telegraph.]
Iu a recent issue of tbs Telegraph ap.
peered an account of the visit of s ghost,
who requested that his mother pay hia
debts. Since then the troth of this ghost
story has leaked out. A certain shrewd
individual of this oity held an “I. O. U.”
given by the young man who was
drowned. Tbe oreditor is s close col
lector and never relinquishes the hope of
getting his money, not even when grim
death interferes. He had endeavored to
collect this bill of surviving relatives but
they woald not reoognizo it, as whisky
was the chief item in the bill. At lest he
hit upon this expedient. He employed
e certain youth to represent the ghost of
the deceased, suddenly appear before a
friend of the family, and iu a guttural
voioe send the mother word that nt could
nover rest in peace nntil his debts were
paid. The programme was carried out
lo the letter, and the result was that in
a few days the mother of the deceased
young man called upon the wily oreditor
end paid the bill.
—This is whet the Boston Neva says

of thirty-six years of age, above the mid
dle stature, with a large frame of the
limestone region, well knit and shapely.
His head is Urge and. long, covered with
dark brown haw worn long and behind
the ears. He has a handsome face, brown
beard end dark eyes, a strong muaioal
voice, which fits in with his bitter, pas
sionate rhetoric. He is a master of th*
old style, swelling rhetorieal “gush” of

ment of delay make your cure more hopeless,
and much depends on tho judicious cliolco of a
remedy. Tho amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Schcr.ck’s Pulmonic Syrup, us a euro lor
consumption, far excoeds all that can bo
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. See Dr. Schonck’s Almanac, con
taining tho certificates of many persons of tho
highest respectability, who have been restored
to health, after being pronouneod incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability. Sehenck’s
Pnlmonio Syrup alone has curod many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is often
promoted by two other remedies which Dr.
Schenok provides for the purpose. These ad
ditional romedioa are SohencU’s Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By tho timely use
of those medicines, according to directions, I)r
SchMiok certifies that most any caso of Con 1
sumption may bo cured.
