’ Atoning AUGUSTA GA: Friday Everting, Jam. IHSS. The l »Hiy Lawn- The usury laws have, for some time, been regarded as very injurious and op pressive in their operation, upon bor rowers as well as lenders of money The subject has t>eeri presented to our legis lature and is now under consideration in other States ; but a fear of popular clamor has deterred any definite reform. The present financial crisis has demon strated the fact that money is just as much an article of trade as cotton, and anything that locks it up in the vaults of capitalists, but adds to the depres sion in business moro sensibly than the sam*- value locked up in cotton bags would do, because money is a circula ting medium and cotton is not The usury laws aie utterly inopera tive in the restraint they were intended to exert over the exactions of money lenders, because they seek devices to shield themselves from the law, or are willing to risk the penalties of its ’ io lation; while the more prudent and law abiding, unwilling so loan money be low Us actual value—which is just what it w ill bring—lock up their money, or Invest it in such away as to impair its utility to the necessities of trade. In this country money is not a monopoly confined to a few, and, therefore, the objections that might apply to romov- , Jag restrictions to its value in some gov- ' ernments, are pointless in our ow n. It is so diffused by the operations Os com merce as to be almost subject to the ; condition of trade, and its value is de termined, like the value of cotton, or wheat, by tho laws of supply and de- ! mand. The present laws drive a very ! large amount from the market, and necessarily enhance the price contin- ] gent upon a short supply. Repeal them, and those who have money to lend will not be afraid to let it out, and in a short time the demand will diminish—equi librium will be restored between the representative of money and its actual value, aud a ,-tauding invitation to the constant violation of the law will be re moved. We intend to discuss this sub ject more fully during the season, and hope tho public mind will prepare the Legislature to act upon it at the next ses sion. Our Weekly Bxeluuiges. We have n very large number of weekly papers on our exchange list, to which we have sent our daily regularly. Many of these papers we value very highly for their local interest as well as for their excellent general contents, and would not dispense with their welcome visits. Most of them have been very generous in extending friendly aid to our enterprise, and, though the expense | of mailing so many is considerable, wc j feel that their continued aid and co-ope ration will amply repay us. Many of our friends might aid us by showing our weekly to their friends, and by clubbing it with their papers. Very many per sons would be ready to take a paper from .this point, in connection with the local paper. Onr weekly is peculiarly a plan ter's home newspaper—and we trust that our exchanges will feel like taking an ac- iive interest in building up a cheap fire gidc journal in Georgia.

[SECOND DISPATCH.] Washington-, Jan. 19. — Gwin's bill proposes to locate the railroad between the Big Sioux and the mouth of tho Kansas liver to San Francisco—grant al ternate sections of land to each side of the road and $12,600 per mile payable on the completion of every 26 miles till $25,000,000 be reached.

Condition of Mexico.—Troubles U It lx io aud Troubles W tliout. The last intelligence from Madrid, coupled with the renewed, and now very serious demonstrations against the Comoufnrt Government in Mexico, is full of deep significance. A few weeks ago, it will be borne in urnd, it was au thoritlvely given out that the friendly office of England and France, in adiust- omce ol rmgiaQO auu r ranee, ui iuijum. . ing the various points of dispute between j Spain and Mexico, had been or cer-1 tainly would be, successful, and upon! that conviction, the public luiud upon both sides of the Atlauticwas fast set-. ■- tling down. Comonfort, thus freed; s from the apprehensions of a foreign war, j . turned his attention to reforming ami ~ remodeling things at home, lie was , e making considerable progress in that; a direction, in a somewhat arbitrary man- j ner, to be sure, but nevertheless, with; apparently popularand unselfish motives; e —when, all at once, the fires of insur * rection blazed out afresh about his cars, I in nearly all parts of the country. Then ; a? his difficulties are multiplying on ev- 1 ery side, we hear of the ominous pres l ence of that suspicious individual—San- / ta Anna—at Havana, with the sudden , revival of tlie “ peace” policy at Mad -1 rid. This grand combination of forces, t foreign and domestic, will probably be j . too much for General Comontort. If , tire Spanish fleets take up Santa Anna, J ' at Havana, aDd put him ashore at Vera Cruz, —for that appears to he the pro gramme,—the days of the present Gov ernment of Mexico are numbered. The Romish Hierarchy appear to be now, as ■ they have been all along, the Chief Kn- ; gineers of the whole movement, which 1 has for its grand object the annihilation J of Comonfort, for the unpardonable sin of secularizing the Eclesiastical Estates, a measure with ■which he initiated ] bis administration, and which whl be t long remembered as the distinguish- : ing act of his public policy. t If Spain is wise she will think twice,; j before beginning a war with Mexico, for j i the purpose of reinstating Santa Anna. !, i ingratiating herself vilh the MoljrKath-: i >er, and revenging ‘'in. •••** 1 ’ and of ' fences, for th- which Me >as many j , j disinterested people think . repeat- , i edly offered to make reasonabn rcj«ira- Ition.

It) P.XtM t JilAlT ' j Punch’s Charge to the Jury. 1 An exchange paper republishes the - following “charge” which came from the London Punch some fifteen years ago. Notwithstanding the antiquity of the document, it is a “model” charge, so far. at least, as it possesses the merit of leaving the jury unbiased in their i deliberations upon a verdict: Gentlemen of the Jun/: You are sworn in aH’case* to decide according to the evidence; at the same time, if you have anv doubt, von are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of it. Suppose yon have to pronounce on the guilt or , innocence of a gentleman accused of felony. You will naturally doubt whether any gentleman would commit such offences —accordingly, however strong may be the testimony against • - j him, you will, perhaps,acquit him. The , i evidence of your own senses is, at least . as credible as that of the witnesses ; if, ( therefore, your eye-sight convince you j 1 that the prisoner is a well-dressed per- - son you have a right to presume his respectability; and it is for you to say - whether a respectable person would be i likely to be g uilty of the crimes impu ted to him. In like manner, when you! jtjo a shabby-looking fellow in the dock; charged, for example, with sheep-steal-i' | ing, the decision rests with you fust, |i 1 whether or not that individual is a rag-: lamuffin, and, secondly, how far it is,, | probable that a man of that description! l | would steal sheep. Os course, as lias * been before said, you will always bo j I guided by the evidence; but, then,, ; whether the evidence is trust,-worthy or , i not, is a matter for your private consul- ], eiation. You may" believe it if you] choose, or you may disbelieve it.. and; whether, gentleman of the jury, you|i will believe it or disbelieve it, will de pend on the constitution of your minds. |, ;If your minds are so constituted that : you wish to find the prisoner guilty, ! perhaps yon will lielieve it; if they I happen to be so constituted that you, ‘desireto find him no! guilty, why then, j very likely, you will disbelieve it. You - arc to free your minds from all passionj i and prejudice if you can, and, in that i ease, your judgment will be unbiased ; j but if" you cannot, you will return a | verdict accordingly. It is not. strictly - speaking, for you to consider what will jbe the effect of your verdict; but if I such a consideration should occur to' you, and you cannot help attending to I it, that verdict will be influenced by H, Ito a certain extent. You are probe ilv ; aware that when you retire, you will ho locked up until yon contrive to agree. You may arrive at. unanimity bv fair discussion, or by some of you starving ! out the others, or by tossing up, and ; your conclusion, by whichever of these i processes arrived at, will be more or less I I in accordance with your oaths. Your 1 verdict may be right; it is to be hoped it will; it may be wrong ; it is to" lie hoped it will not. At all events, gen-; tleinen of the jury, you will come toj 'some conclusion or other; unless it; should so happen that you sepi rate without coining to any. Kansas News.
