As Appointment.—W’o learn
■ays the Sparta ishmalite, that a
negro, who is nearly blind, and
ba ely able to read and write, has
been appointed postmaster in the
progressive town of Sandersville.
He has not yet been able to make
his bond , and the office is still un
der the charge of the old postmas

icy of the new administiation. The
South need expect no lavora 1 rum

nevet ask any.
The Montezuma Weekly has the
following about a Dooly county
spring : “8now Spring, Dooly

stitution of learning which has but
recently been established there.

to Ittidw the origin of its name.

im, sesible to dimmish its quantity.
Wagon loads are taken away each
week,aud still it remains the same
It can neither be increased nor di
minished. When other sands are
thrown into this spring, they are
botne away by its waters, but not
one grain of its own ever escapes.
Another strange peculiarity about
this sand is that it will dissolve in
one's mouth like sugar. A noted
physician of the Htuiahas declared
it to he an infallible remedy for
dyspepsia.
The Macon Telegraph and Mes

Americas Recorder; Mr. C. A.

With one mule, he made from the

The Atlanta Constlution learns
from a gentleman who has just re-
turuid from Home, where he went
to look into the condition of the
Home buuk, that the amount ot
private deposits it about $28. 000
which, with the state dejiosit of
$53,000, makes a total of $80,000
due depositors. The capital stock
was $50,000, and it is prob ible
that the stockholders will get noth

sal cce.’unt.
The only argument we have ev
er heard iuf.ivor'ofa n>u)Ly law,
is, that it pto ects the boiruwer.
Now we know that iu mi^ty-niue
cases out of every hundred it iB no
plot' ction whatever. So tar as
our observation extends, the plea
of usury has not been made in a
half dozen cases since the close of
the war; and in the enz-s iu which
it was made, the party making it,
ineve'y instance we b-lievo, at-
serted that it waa m -de, not on
aocount of disaatialaction with the
rate of interest, kit because lb*
lender ha t failed to c iu,oy with
biB part of the agreem-ot.
We think that u uiy Ians should
be regaled :
First, because laws of this char
acter partake of the uatu-e of pater
nal government, nod lu-ncu us,, m -
that the borrower is not competent
to conduct bis busiu ss without
assistance.
Second, because usury laws do
not in point ot fact regulate the
tale of interest, nor protect the
borrower; Indeed if they affect
the borrower at all, it is to his in
jury. Supply and demand, and
the certainty or uncertainty of en
forcing the collection of debts, al
ways hare, no 1 will regulate the
rate of iute.est upon borrow d
money.
Third, be-anse it the b -rrower
needs a guardi n the Legislature
is not fitted to prop rly di charge
the duties of a guardian.
We have asserted that usury
laws instead ot protecting, liu^ a
tendency to injure the borrower.
For example; John Jones has a
good one-bur e fat m, and it be
comes neces-ary for him to pur
chase two hundred doll.irs wor h ot
supplies, and he has not the money.
Now if there w re no usury law- lie
could borrow nil the tu ru y he
would need at 12 per. cent, bi-cense
he can give the leader ample se-
urity. As the Inw is now- i.e can
only secure him 8 per cent Thu
result is, the capitalist will not
lend, because lie call easily make 12
per. cent, by “sliav in,;" miles.
Jones beiog unable to b rr-.w iimu-
y,is forced to buy on time,am! in
stead of pay ng 12 per cent on the
cash price of Ids supplies, lie is
forced to pay from 30 to 50 per.
cent. The diffo-.nce of course the
ha-rower is fur-eI to loose.
Finally, the usury law is a relirt
of th# dark ages, and there can bu
no sound or valid reason given tor
its eoniinnnncu, and it should
then fore be repealed. We are glad
the influence of uur powerful cu-
temporary, the Atlauta Constitu
tion is being thrown iu this direc
tion; and we-hep* it -will continue
its al,l- efforts on “this line”; and
that the time wi-1 soon come wheu

The Preetdeut and his Cabinet,
There is it seems no longer room
to doubt that there js a serious dif
ference between the President and
two members of his cabinet, viz;
Attorney General McVeagh, and
Postmaster General James. The
differeme grows out of the appoint
ment of William E.Chandler as So
licitor of the Treasury, and Judge
Robertson colk ctor of customs in
New York city. We trust the
Attorney General will succeed in
defaling tie confirmation of
Ci andler tor he is nothing but an
unscruplous politician. It will be
remembered that be was the ring
leader of the conspirators that suc
ceeded in steal'ng the Presid-ncy
for Huyes. What objection Mr.
Janies has to Judge Robertson we
do not know, unless it is that he is
distasteful to Senator Conkling.
However th s may hi, or whatever
may he tho result, we trust Mc-
V. ngh and Mr. JameB will remain
in the cabiuet.
