MISS C. W.

It would be a valuable acquisition to our ■ list of Southern Books, and we predict for i I It tho most fluttering success.

Utah, for school purposes, was passed. Mr. Richardson’s substitute to the Shb- ' terrtinea o Telegraph Bill, granting the! right of way, was adopted. On Wednesday, Mr. Houston is to call j up tho Tariff Bill. SANTA ANNA. It seems that this notoriously bad man has crowned the list nf his acts of barbarity with the financial operation, of selling hi ß : Indian prisoners of war into slavery, an act which cannot fail to bring upon him . the curses of the civilized world. Stand ing as he does in the midst of the wrecks of a nation once powerful, but whosi ex cesses have torn it into a thousand incon" gruent fragments, and unaccountable as he is to any tribunal that can affect his per- j sonal safety, be openly violates one of the j j most uuiverHally admitted prin' iples oL 1 international law, by the perpetration ofi , one of tho most inhuman acts that have ever disgraced the administration of a modern government, and deserves all the I obloquy that can be heaped upon him liv-1 ing, and a page in history which will call' : curses loud and deep from tho lips of gen- j , eratious to come. BURMN?OFIHnTOWAirBRIDGE. We clip the following from an Extra, issued by the Cassville Standard, on the 2nd., Instant. , • ‘ I About twelve o'clock, on yesterday, the ‘ rail-road bridge ever the Etowah river, two' i miles helow Catersville, was found to be oti fire The fire was first discovered on ■ i tho south end, by the bridge keeper, who' ■ could have extinguished it with a single ! bucket of water. Finding the water in the tubs frozen ho' ran to the river, a dis- j , tance of several hundred yards, and on his return found that the fire had made such . progress a« to render it impossible to stop ; t It. An effort was made to stop the flames j by blowing up a portion of tho bridge, but; it failed. Thia was tho longest and most costly ; bridge on the road, its length being 1920 ft., and its original cost about one hun-l dred thousand dollars. . *-**• ‘ I COMMUNICATED, j I SHOULD THE USURY LAWS BE REPEALED I I No. 3. A few exHiuplificutlons will suffice to; shoit the absurdity of the present system, l ' and the evils it is incident to. by evasion and indirect means for realizing of greater : gnfri. ! By the existing law, 7 per cent is the maximum allowed for the use of money; but which under the varied circumstanoeß , oouuected with demand mid supply, at sometimes in above, and at others below, a just equivalent; and when below, which ia universally the ease in stringent finan -1 cial emergencies, imd those brought about by the restrictions of law, capital always available for its intrinsic value, in some I direction, is diverted from tb» natural channels of individual private loan, into! chartered bankingiustitutions—these ideal ■ persona divested of that individual moral responsibility which attaches to subfltan-* ' tial personage, and arc managed by indi- , ; root and circuitous means, to accomplish , what they are not permitted by their char-, ' torn to do directly, it) a straight-forward, legitimate banking operation. ; They throw out to their customers and ! . the public, a sufficiency of their “ prom-1 | baa to pay,” as far a> they will go, and j remain, till the capital for the succeeding : operation ia secured; and then commences ; ; the regular system for increase of gain,; beyond that allowed by law, and ainone i others may be of the following character, vix: ' The sendin* through permanent or transient agents, their issues, to far-' tber and more remote sections in search t of investment, (at the same time de clining good paper at home,) whore ad van ecu are made and drafts discounted, though mere kites, if nominally good at the time, as Exchange ou the North or iEurope—this beiug remitted to N, Y. for' collection, is converted into cash, and ' forms the basis for a ftlrther profitable op eration, by being invested in local mcr-' Motile paner of the locality of the bank, . at the Wall Street, shaving rates, of 3 to 5 per cent, per month, discount; and. from thence is returned home in these' dotes, apparently as collections for the ; North, out in reality, belonging to the i bank which holds them ; and thus not only 1 has an interest been received from the * first remote issue, with that to •’ per cent, discount in the Exchange, but also that of i the Wall Street shave, and on maturity at 1 home of the last uote, the maker finds himself compelled to pay to the uttermost,; whether convenient or Dot; though if his I indebtedness had remained to the North-; evn merchant, be might if necessary, have | ijpgotiated an extension for n part or the ' 4jrliolo debt. But as it is, payment must i be made—and to accomplish thin, the! %akcr may be compelled to have recourse ito a re-draft on the payee of the note : which draft, at 60 days, as a special favor, is sometimes taken by the bank holding the note, nt interest off, and 2 per cent. i discount, though sight exchange at the ' time, being 1 per cent, premium ; and . with the proceeds, thia hocus pocus farce, ‘ ' in financial operations, may bo continued j ;ad infinitum i By such a series of operations, not only I i the regular interest and 1 per cent, per; month in the remittance to N. Y., is real ized, but at least 2 on the brokerage shave, and finally one more in the settle-: meat at home—and reaching together, 4 , per cent, a month, or 48 per annum-,; which added to the legal interest and 1 per cent, at first realized, swells the gain ■ |to 56 per cent, per annum But allowing 20 of that for defraying the expense of I commissions, agencies, and covering the j loss of time iu transmissions, which is lib eral, there would bo left a net gain of 36 | per cent, per annum, realized on the ope : ' ratiou. | And that such and similar transactions J t have, and do take place, is not doubted by those initiated into the mysteries of finances But if it be denied that it has been done by banks, as such, it may be replied' that if not by them directly, it is at least, with their capital and credit—by these interested in, controling of. or dependent j upon them, that it has been done ; and iu reality is equivalent to a direct opcra- : tion of the bank itself as such operator. By such operations, the secret is solved, as to from whence comes the 10 to 25 per ' cent, dividends of profits on stocks, so 1 frequently heralded forth to the public in . semi-annual dividends. Could any system of finance be devised, i which would more effectually promote the ] interests of individual shavers, to whom | the field at home has been deserted, than i the one adverted to by such monied cor- { (orations ? I would answer, and an en ighteued community will join iu the echo, I NO ! Yet from such, principally, if not entirely, arises the usual stringent state ! of finances which follows the inflations of circulation by the banks, and the effects of which begets a storm that cauuot be quelled, but acts and re-acts in its unob i structed march of increasing violence and devastation, till it sweeps the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from ; North to South, destroying all credit and prosperity; and finally banks, borrowers, ' and private capitalists, are eugulphed in one common ruin. If such evils as those alluded to, be at- I tributed to, or can arise from the causes j stated ; and they proceed from, or might ido so from the state of financial affairs induced by tho usury system, and that they do, and may again occur, is believed I to have been demonstrated, then the ques (tiou recurs, what is the remedy ? And ; according to tho views, arguments, and I illustrations previously given, it is obvious 1 that in the opinion of the writer, nothing ! would have so salutary effect as an entire I repeal of the laws regulating the interest j on the use of money; that is, that the law be repealed as to to all transactions except ; where they are silent on that subject, or ( whore after a legal proceeding and judg -1 incut obtained ; in these instances let the law define the interest, as at present, or • some other fixed rate—but it is believed that the old rate of 8 per cent., would be more acceptable. By the removal of restrictions, that en tire equality and freedom will be recog nized in trade, that are claimed by the people in all other transactions, and by them prized above, all others; this will beget confidence, promote a regular, stea dy, and safe state of public opinion; facil itate the circulation of capital through the natural channels, and dispense with the usual resort by borrowers, to the shaver, or au entire reliance on banks. The repeal is demanded alike by men of enlightened philanthropy, justice, equal ity, and the progressive state of civiliza tion. FRO BONOS MORES. BfiT Os the conviction of Booth the Milwaukee News remarks— ‘•The jury in the case of S. M Booth, j indicted for participation in the rescue ofi the fugitive Glover, after being out six hours, came into court on Saturday night, with a verdict of guilty. Upon the first ballot, they aro said to have stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. This I verdict subjects the defendant to inipri sonment not exceeding six months, and a fine not exceeding oue thousand dollars. I • We rejoice at this verdict, not because this defendant is made to suffer, but be-! cause it is calculated to teach men a fact i which the}’ have been too prone to forget,. that we live under a government of law, > that the rampant spirit of mob law shall not be toh'rated with impunity in the free i state ofWisconsin, that the doctrine of a, higher law to justify a disregard of the al-, legiancc which every citizen owes to his country, is a false doctrine, and that he ’ who attempts to put it into practical upcr-1 ation, is taking a sfrraightruad and a short i one to tho penitentiary. *’ We see that out of revenge tho aboli tionists of Milwaukee have caused the ar rest of Judge Miller, of die United States district court of Wisconsin and Mr. Sharp stein, U. S. district attorney, for false im prisonment of Booth. These gentlemen have been held to bail in ssooo each, for their appearanoe before the county court. Poti.

All his resolution? ' j were unanimously reject as inadmissable Mr. Owen then asked for his own dismis ffajn, which was readily granted Seo the Ricfamqpfa.Enquirer of the 28d inst., for furtiier particulars. Wo‘infer from these facts, as commen ted upon by the message of the Know i Nothing Governors of Massachusetts and ! Pennsylvania, that the “order cf the Sons , ;of the Sires of 76” have “agreed to disa-; " grec” upon tho subject of shivery, or. in : other words, that the order will not object < 1 to a member because, he is an abolitionist; and that if Giddings, Parker or Garrison were nominated for Pr< ident by the Su preme Grand Council, or the nominating | power of the order, that the members oi the order living in the South would be j : bound not to vote against him or them. : .If this be true, then it is clear that no; i Southern man can consistently attach ' himself to the society. If it is not true, . let some member of the order in this city of known character, deny it over his own signature. — Cu v.mbus Times <f‘ Sentinel. SCHUYLER, THE RUINED BANKER. A New York letter writer makes the following comment upon the fallen for tunes of the ce'ebrated Robert Schuyler: I passed the other day the splendid mansion of Mr. Schuyler, whose stupend ous frauds are to well known. It was closed and apparently solitaiy though bis 1 family still reside there. What a contrast a few months has apparently made in that • family I Its glory w dim. Crowds no longer assemble in the spacious parlors;! the coaches of the splendid and gay do not line the side-walk ; the brilliant lights > I and the dashing company no longer allure l the crowd to herd about the curb stone all :is solitude. But what a lesson does this i event teach; Mr. Schuyler had two char ■! actors. In business, on change, at his I I rooms iu the Astor, he was known a> the ; 'high-minded, honorable, successful, pure- i ' I minded man one of whom New York was ’ proud, one whom she delighted to honor. 1 1 Nuw come with me into one of the least [ ! pretending streets in New York. The' > j house is as unpretending as the street.) 1 • Mr. Spicer lives here. Let us enter. ; 1 ; Mrs. Spicer and a family of children from ; •19 years and under, compose tho house-) hold. It is said to be a singular family. I Mr. Spicer is a singular man. No onoev- ler sees him. Mr. Spicer comes in late ;' he goes away early in the morning. lie \ ’ j is a business man; he has so much business : that he is never seen in his family. Re- • main there day and night and you will i never see Mi. Spicer. The daughters be ■ come young ladies They are well cduca.- ' ted. They go out into society, but no ' one knows their fathei. Mr Spicer’s name is not in the business directory.— ' So have this family lived for twenty years iin tho heart of New York ! At lentil the elder Miss Spicer is engaged to a most. worthy man. It is needful to gain the consent of Mr. Spicer that the marriage may take place. A time is appointed and ' the cxpeciant son-in-law is placed face to ; face with Mr. Spicer, but is Mr. Schuyler; that the mother of his daughier is not a wife; but if the daughter is taken in mar rige the mother shall be wedded. The double act is consummated: the veil is re moved, New York is agitated soy a mo ment by the disclosures, an elegant liouscc is taken on Twenty second street, and the family is launched on the wave of : fashionable life.
