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 ! supply. Hence, law-abiding capitalists usually pr*-f-r other mpdes of employing money, Activ" capital, like running water, will always leave an obstructed lor an unobstructed ebanned opt.u to it. But experience proves that usury laws, as a gen oral rule, ate only obstructions, in money lending, to conscientious or to cautions men. Their with drawal, leaves a more open field to the unscrupu lous and the daring, enabling them to extoit from the borrowing class higher rates tlan with ftee competition could be maintained.

It is probably wise however, f«»r any people to make decided changes iu their monetary system gradually. I suggest for your consideration, the expedien cy of so modifying the law on this subject as to aiakeseven per cent the legal rate, where inter- t ,t is chargeable according to law, and no rate died by contract; and to provide further, that any rate of interest not exceeding fen per cent., may be established by, and collected under, a contract. f„t the payment of money. This advance will y v.i-’.y he sufficient to test practically the merit of tin proposed change, and it will be easy front this point to recede or advance further, as experi 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 Only a resolute and generous people could bear with equanimity the gieat loss, and its superseded annual product of loss.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.

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.

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.

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.

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- er. standing in the same i elation to hmi.

The • 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 'mbat whether regarded as questions in politi cal economy, or of abstiact equity, the answer “cist be negative. Tnere is, however, another asnect.of the ease which mu-t nut (j,. overlooked.

The negro man Isaac, found guilty pf the murder of Mr. Henry Amos, in Hancock county last July, was hung yesterday, near the Powder Works, at 19 minutes past 12 o’clock. We are informed that on being led forth to meet his death, he asserted his innocence, but it is stated that on previous occasions he admitted his guilt.—Const. 13 Thirty conductors on the city rail wall cars in New York, were dismissed for dis honesty recently. Fear in Disease.—An experiment tried by an eminent physician uf Bt, I'etcrt,- burg, during the prevalence of the cliidcjra. there several years ago, serves to illus trate the influence of the mind upon the 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. Interesting Letter from Gen.

I Lave already engaged about four hundred freedmen, and have full con fidence in making a success ot the work.

With assu rance of my personal regard and respect, I am, General, very respectfully, Gideon J. Pillow. 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.
