The Sparta Iahmalite is down usury laws, which it considers to be OM of the greatest obstacle* to the rap id derelopxnent of any State. It takes the broad ground, Srst, that money is commodity, and like anything else, is subject to the lawi of supply and de mand, and therefore if a capitalist get a certain price therefore it is legiti mate for him to sell it to the highest bidder. Second, that no eensible rca son can be girts for snehlaws, sin no honorable man, after agreeing pay a certain ram of money at a par ticular time and for a particular price, would decline to do so because the price be agreed to give for it was high er than that allowed by law. The Savannah Times adds, that there is undoubtedly a good deal position of the Iahmalite. The spirit and object of the usury laws ai tainly good. They sre passed the benevolent idea that money is al most as essential to the life of a u as are food aad air, and that it is 1 just aad contrary to the interests of ciety for thi§ mo*t needful article to bo held at eo high a figure as to deprive the ordinary mortal who has not been fortunate enoifgh to accumulate it, from its use. Bat the great troublo with many usury laws is that they nearly always inoperative and imprac ticable. A farmer, for instance, needi money to be need in hie business, and must have it. He applies to who has laid up the commodity and agrees to give satisfactory security for what be wants, and to pay usurious interest therefor. He knows that year by year he will still be obliged to bor row, and if he refnses to pay his loan on the time for which it is' made, the plea of usnry, he will be effectually cut off from any future accommoda tions. So he finds that it pays him better to stand the extortion than to make any disturbance about it, and, after all, it would be improper for him to decline t > live up to his part of the contract. He has entered into that nontraet with hie eyes open and with full undents ading of the law, and he should therefore, strictly speaking, not attempt, after he has secured that for which be was in search, to evade the payment of what is really an honors ble obligation. Usury and extortion are undoubtedly great curses, and no offence is more bitterly denounced or more boldly spok en against in Holy Writ than these. The injury they work may be clearly seen in any portion of the interior of this State where men have to give' clad mortgages as a security for money and then have to pay all the way from om to two aad two and ahalf per per month for its use. This is why our I amen are generally hard put it to make both end* meet, while the money lender waxes fat and rich. The profits which would remain with the farmer under amors equitable condi- . tion of things, passes from him into the capacious pocket of his money lend er, to whom be becomes a hewer of wood and drawer of water. This groat hardship, but one which usury laws utterly failed to prevent. Notwithstanding all this, we prepared to advocate the total abolition of such laws. There intent is benefi eial, and they do eome good, while they cannot possibly do any harm. The safe rule for Aimers to adopt, however, is to borrow as little money as possi ble, give as few mortgages as be can, “leura to do without many things he is not obliged to have," be very eco nomical and endeavor to be hie own capitalist. Then, with or without us ury laws, he can make rapid headway aad be Independent of all extortions or Bhyloeka. The Commissioner of Internal Reve nue, in a conversation with a stamp collector the other day, warned him that It is criminal to be found in pos session of revenue stamps which have not been effectually mutilated. He said that there is scarcely a smoker in the oonatry that does not lay himself liable to prosecution for having stamps that have not been eoncelled nnlaw- felly in hie possession. Stafnp collec tors float be oontert to do without in ternal revenni stamps or run the risk of being punished for a violation of the law. ____ North American Review. Gall Hamilton's slashing article in the June number of the North Ameri can Beview, on "Prohibition in Poli tics," is to be followed in the July n amber of the same periodical by of similar character from her on “Pro- dL to&Miivt, V Important Meeting. A meeting of the Stockholders of the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad will be held in this city to day, at the Peoples National Bank on Lamar street. A Board of Directors will be chosen to manage the affairs of the company for the next twelve months, with the aid of the President whom they will elect. Speaking of this meeting, the Lntnpkin Independent haa this to say: Col. Hawkins will be successor, there seems to be no doubt, it appearing to be the universal opinion here that he justly deserves an unanimous re-election as a token of | appreciation for the able and un tiring mainer in which ho has advanc ed the irterests of the road. Col. Hawkins has labored without ceasing and bis whole heart is devoted to the labor in which he is engaged. It is his ambition to bnihl and maintain a narrow-guage road from Americas to Lumpkin that will be owned and opera ted by the people who build it, and it will be bis aim and desire to always keep it an independent road not own- controlled by auy grasping monopoly or clique or bond holders. He has given the road Ins time and his talents and that he has faith in its lin- ial success is clearly shown by the U1>eral manner in which he invest money.

The New York Evening Post analy- s the appointments in the diploma- i and consular service, which have been made by the present Administra- and finds that, in all, seventy ap pointments of various sorts have been made, of which thirty-eight have been from the North and thirty-two from ’the Solid S«nth.” This, it says, al most exactly answers to the relative populations of the two sections, while the wiping out of the old sectional lines this branch of the Government from the reproach of representing hut le part of the country. The Post finds, also, that a com pari - o between the early weeks of the Garfield and Cleveland administrations actually shows a greater number of changes in the consular service under Garfield than under the Democratic President. Instead of there being any indecent haste in making proper changes, no less than nine «.f the thirty foreign missions remain to be filled by the new regime. Thus far, only twen ty-nine consuls have been appointed, while about thirty-seven changes in ■ueb offices were made during Gar- fields brief term. This is a very flattering result, and favor of Civil Service Refoi says also that the country has] made a great advance daring the past three or fonr years in its demands concerns ing the foreign service, and will not endnre now from a Democratic Ad ministration what it accepted as a n< cessary part of politics under the lb publicans.

EACH kCEKISG ITS OWN A*D hKlV.UA AMUSEMENTS THE AUDITION or nosTO* women. It is a strange fact that with the progress of civilization there come al ways two different and distinct rcsnlts. First t ho intercourse between women becomes easier and pleasanter; second, there is a tendency on the part of both men and women to separate their interests and even their pleasures. A certain portion of the day and of( and the evening is given up to common pleasures, but there is a large part of each day when men and women prefer to be apart. 1 think myself it is a good thing, and so long as what sepa rate the sexes in their distinctive duties it is well enough. But among the growing leisure class in the east who nave no duties these hours of separa tion are devoted to amusement. You would be astonished to know how many society women io New York and Boston both smoke and drink. To have nothing to do is a curse to men, but it is a deadly poison to women. They are not, as a ruie, so capable* of self amusement aa art men and they prone, as in the matter of smoking and drinking, to tamper with the coarser “passe-temps” of the men. ©ot of this grows a boldness, a care lessness about the matter of delicacies of social lifa which is noticeable the moment one touches the borders of so ciety in Boston, New York or Wash ington.—Boston Letter.

When bed-time came he retired. Ho slept on a pallet on the floor in tho samo room with a colored man named Sntton.
