trsnsHctiotts. There ate times when file u^e o'
morey is worth much more than at others. With
uj jt is ra.ely worth feso than tho icgal rate of in-
h;Tt it is often worth mere. The policy oi
nstirv laws generally is, to place the legal rate ot
interest at th-- lowest point to which, in a scries ot
vests it would go if untrammelled, an 1 to keep it
there, despite the varying relations of demand an !

But experience proves that usury laws, as a gen

ence may dictate.
INCREASE OF PAUPERISM,
Owing to the sudden emancipation of persons
cdcoVtr, and their consequent deprivation of un-
fsiling provision hitherto enjoyed, for their wants,
whether in infancy, iu old age, or iu sickness,
there will probatdy be foi a time at least a great
increase of pauperism. Against its growth fiom
idletuan cr vice, stringent legal penaltias should
be directed, and for such cases probably sufficient
guards are provided in the new code. But for un
avoidable poverty aud destitution, involving no
degree of criminality, provision must be made.
Your constituents, by the very act of emancipation
which originates this new burthen, have been
in a great degree impoverished, and it is hard that
the two evils should simultaneously, in the hour
ofexhari'tion press upon them. Only a resolute
and generous people could bear with equanimity
the gieat loss, and its superseded annual product
of loss. But precisely because they are both reso
lute and generous, they have, with equaniminity
r, aiized the fact and i»s consequences, and intend
to do their whole duty, social and moral, as well as
political- But it is neither necessary nor light
that the whole huriheu should be thrown upon
them.
Pauperism is destitution of accumulated means
nfsubsistence, combined with inability, from
physical or mental cause to produce.them: but it
on'v becomes a matter of public concern when no
vale relief is aff orded. As a simiple fact, it has

A Runaway llaitroail Train.—The Ro
chester I'niou records a carious incident in
the shape of a railroad train running away
from its conductor on the Erie Road at
noon :
The morning (rain from Rochester stop
ped at Avon to dine.' While the conduc
tor, hrakeman and Nc-ine eight or ten pas
sengers were at the table, the engineer
took his signal to start from the wrong per
son, and went on Iris way toward Coining.
As tho train approached Livonia tlie sig
nal was given to break, but was not re
sponded to and the train rati by the sta
tion. The engineer backed tip and went
back to see what was tlie matter. He
found the train was without conductor or
brakemao. He received a telegram from
the conductor that he was following with
an engine, and waited accordingly. Mis
fortunes do not come singly. The engine
which the conductor had procured at Avon
to convey himself and passengers to Li
vonia broke down soon after starting and
the party had to return and get a carriage,
with which they drove to Livonia. The
result of the mishap was that the train
reached Corning nearly three hours be
hind time.
One of the passengers who was left with
the conductor eating his breakfast, had
•SI7.000 in a satchel which he had left in
the car, and a lady had money and valua
bles to the amount of over -S2.000 in her
satchel. The passengers were extremely
anxious to overtake the runaway train, and
were much relieved from anxiety when
they secured their satchels all right. It
was a mishap that might not occur again
in many years.”
The republican papers have been claim
ing great credit for the negroes in the Dis
trict of Columbia, for their services in the
war. In alluding to this, Mr. Lloyd, the
Prei-ideut of the Board of Aldermen iu

Raymond's Speech.—-Iu the House Mr.
Raymond concluded bis brilliant reply to
Stephens in these words: “1 believe it is
important for us, as well as for them, that
we cultivate friendl y relations with them ;
that we should seek the protection of their
interest as part and parcel of our own. We
have been their enemies in war—in peace
let us show ourselves their friends. Now
that slavery has been destroyed—that
prolific source of all our alienations, all
our hates, all our disasters—there is noth
ing longer to make us foes. They have
the same interest, the same hopes, the same
aspiration that we have. They are one
with us; we must share their sufferings,
and they will share our advancing pros
perity. They have been punished as uo
community ever was before punished for
the treason they have committed. I trust
sir, the day will come ere long when all
traces of the great conflict will be enlaced,
except those which mark the bleasings
which follow iu their train.”
The Strong Divorce Case.—To the in
tense relief ot ail decent people, the Strong
divorce case in New York will soon be
brought to a termination. The parries to
the suit are Mr. P. It. Strong and Mrs
Mary Stevens Strong, Iris wife. Mr.
Strong prays for a divorce, charging tiiat
his wife at sundry times violated her mar
riage vow with her brother in-law, Edward
N. Strong, and she, in defending herself,
denies the fact, but claiming that even if
it was true, her husband had forgiven her
and lived with her, while as a matter of
law and equity ite was equally guilty
having had at divers times with Mrs,
Electra Dotter, laid himself open to simi
lar charges. The main source of trouble
seems to be the custody of tire two Strong
children, one of whom is at present with
her father, the other having been taken
away by her mother several months since,
in defiance of a writ issued by the Su
preme Court of New York.
The parties concerned are wealthy, and
were among the upper tendnm classes.
E-e-Gov. Joseph E. Brown.—The At
lanta Intelligencer speaks thus of Ex Gov
ernor Brown. All the praise given-in the
article is richly merited by the gentleman
spoken of:
Et-Gov. Joseph E. Brown.—Among
the many valuable accessions to the popu
lation of our city, socially and otherwise,
none gratifies ns more than that of the dis
tinguished gentleman whose name heads
this article and his esteemed lady and
family,. Most heartily do we bid them all
welcome to Atlanta, their future perma
nent residence. Wo do so, too, in tfhe
name of its citizens, who, likeourseK, ap
preciate the public services of him, who
for fonr successive terms was elected by
the people of Georgia, their Chief Magis
trate, and who served them in that office
with rare ability and a faithfulness cer
tainly not surpassed by any previous Ex
eentive of our noble old State.
It is Governor Brown’s intention, we
leavn. to retire from political life, and pur
sue the practice of law—a field in which,
ere he was promoted to the bench, he had
won reputation, and while on it distinc
tion as a jurist. He Will soon, we under
stand, open a law office in this city, and j
we doubt not wiil succeed, in the practice )
of his profession, in receiving a portion, at
least, oi that vlticii the war has deprived
him of, and which he had labored to attain
in his early professional career,
attend him in his vocation.

Dangers of Women in Old Times.—An
act was introduced in the English Parlia
ment, in 1670, “that all women, of what
ever age, rank, profession or degree,
whether maids or widow’s, that shall, from
and after such act, impose upon, seduce

a population of 60,000, had furnished
1.500 soldiers, it became our duty to nail

difference ( because under the exploded
system, each pauper African had a master who
cared for his wants—cared for them well—cared
f-'r tli> m cheerfulfy. How was he enabled to do
this, yar i'>er year? From the fact that associa
ted with these paupers, as well by ties of|con.san-
roiaity. as in fetters of bondage, were others ca
pable of remunerative labor. The support of the
pauper was nominally a charge upon the master,
butbe V ayed it from the earnit:cs of the laV>or-

cr is aiien' el. 7 he paai>'*r is no more a charge

• iff- of the Ihboirr's toil are transferred from
him to the la l ooior Juinself. But tho relations oi
ass and of kiudred, between the pauper and the
ii-.borer, are undisturbed. The question* to be
■onsidered in the view of the whole subject are,
does the transfer of the fruits of the laborer s toil,
hsi-harpe them wholly from the burthen of sup-
porting-th e pauper—the master having lost those
(flits upon which the pauper’s suppoft was a
-irge, does it still adhere to him ? It appears to

vicinity yesterday. The negro man

Fear in Disease.—An experiment tried
by an eminent physician uf Bt, I'etcrt,-

there several years ago, serves to illus

body. He obtained of the autlioiities two
criminals who had been eondemed to death,
to do with them as he saw fit. One of
these convicts was made to sleep on a bed
in which, as he was told, auiau died with
the cholera but the night before—slthou
such was not the fact. After a restless
night, tho criminal was taken with all the
symptoms of cholera, and died of that
disease, declaring he caught it from the
bed—a victim to bis own fears. The oth
er was made to sleep on a bed wherein a
man had died, a few hours previously, of
the fatal disease. The fact, however,
was unknown to the occupant of the bed,
who arose in the morning refreshed by his
sleep, remaining in perfect health.

Gen. O. G. Howard, Commissioner if., if,
Washington :
It affords me pleasure to inform yon that
I have been successful beyond my most
sanguine expectations in engaging labor
for all my plantious in Arkansas and Ten
nessee. I Lave already engaged about
four hundred freedmen, and have full con
fidence in making a success ot the work.
I have given in all cases the freecfijian a
part of the crop of cotton, and 1 allow
him land for the cultivation of vegetables
and corn for his own use, without charge
therefor. I would have engaged one thou
sand laborers if I had needed that mun
her. My brother, who adopted my plan
of work succeeded in engaging laborers
for three places he is working. 1 have
pnt one large plantation under white la
bor from the North upon precisely tho
same terms I engaged freedmen. I feel
anxious to try the system of white labor
of that character for the plantation.—
Knowing the interest you feel ia the suc
cess of the system of the freedmen, and

Some of the Schemes of Northern Lolhy
Members—Tbe Washington correspon
dent of th8 New York Commercial thus
notices some of the favorite schemes now
pending before Congress, which North
ern lobby members are endeavoring to
have passed :
The return of the present tariff duties,
with higher duties on iron and coal, and
perhaps the striking off of' wood from the
freelist; Niagara ship canal; grants ot
land to railroads in Maine, on Cape Cod,
between here and New York, and at the
West; payment of a portion of rite Penn
sylvania war debt; river and harbor ap
propriations at the West and on the Pa
cific slope ; reimbursements of- bounties ;
aud numerous other sehemes which are
for,-and which will only benefit the North.
Perhaps it is for the purpose of “rush
ing things through Congress,” that the
Southern members are to be kept out of
their places for awhile. In the former days
of the Republic, thousands of. the corrupt
plans of Northern lobby members were ex
posed and defeated by the Southern mem
bers, and will he again as soon as they
are allowed to take their seats.
The True, Heroic Spirit—A letter from
Pendleton, S. C-, speaks thus of the man
ner in which the people of that section
have met the results of the war :
Our young men have gone to work in
earnest. We are proud to see them en
gaged in teaching, plowing, wagoning,
keeping grocery ’stores', in short, doing
anything, and doing it cheerfully. A gen
eral, who bore no mean part iu the war.
has been living in abut on the coast, sup
porting his family by fishing. Another
general has been cutting wood ou shares.
Cur’s is a poverty of which no one is
r.i-hamed, and of which very few complain.
He are willing to bear it, and its univers
ality makes it more tolerable. Vie know
tiiat tho most refined and intelligent wo
men in the fcriate, deserted by {heir delu
ded servants, are doing ail kinds nf house-
woik—sweeping, dusting, making beds,
iaml even in some cases cooking and wash
ing. Widows, orphans and single women,
whose property was in Confederate bonds,
are penniless, and are seeking employ
ment of' some kind tor bread. < )n the
whole our people are heating their trials
bravely and cheerfully.
This certainly is exhibiting a true, he
roic spirit. This is the way in which all
brave people in by.gone days, who have
set their hearts upon gaining a cause, and
lost their all in the attempt, have conduct
ed themselves. Instead of sitting down
and repining at that which has been lost,
our people manfully face the realities
which confrout them o n every side, and
cheerfully work on for the future.
A people who conduct themselves in
such a commendable manner are always
worthy of, and should invariably receive
the confidence and encouragement of the
successful party. Victors can ever afford
to be generous. They lose nothing by
pursuing a liberal policy towards those
they have overpowered. The history of
the past proves this. The experiences of
the present day, as far as tried, corroborate
the lessons of by gone days.
The conservative men of the North ap
pear to be. fully impressed with these
truths. They are doing all iu their power
to support the President. May they suc
ceed in bringing shame and confusion upon
the radicals and their leaders. May they
put to complete discomfiture and rout the
hordes ot political vampires and dema
gogues who care nothing for their common
country ; bnt who show by their acts that
their great desire is to grow rich off the
South by inaugurating a policy that would
be as crushing in its effects as that of Rus
sia has been in unfortunate Poland.
Let us of the South so conduct ourselves
that every thing that we do will tend to
support the President in the position he
has taken.
Tho other day an ex-Oonfederate sol
dier, driving a Government ambulance up
Broad street was hailed by a United States
soldier, as follows :
“Hello Johnnie, you are driving Yan
kees now, are you ?”
“Yes,” said the gray jacket, “gone
back to my old trade again, only 1 get
paid for it now.”
He of tbe blue coat didn’t pursue tho
subject further.—Rich. Whig.
