The penalty at tached is the forfeiture of all the in terest, both usurous and lawful. There has been a great deal of spec ulation and difference of opinion as to what will be the effect of the law.

Others maintain, on the contrary, that capi talists, seeing they cannot get more, will let out their money at eight per cent, and thereby give to the country capital to operate on at living rates. We differ in our views from both of these parties. There has, for a long time, and perhavs always, been a usu ry law in Georgia, and it has just as constantly been practically a dead letter; and while the present one is perhaps more rigid than its predeces sors it will be nevertheless of very little avail. Such laws have always been evaded and will continue to be.

This blatant defamer of the South was found dead in his bed, at the Grand Pacific hotel, in Chicago, on the morning ot Nov. 1st. He was one of the most stalwart of Northern politicians, and was the pcei of any foul-mouthed slanderer of the South ern people, and the Democracy gen erally. He was open and outspoken in all he did, but when it is remem- bered that he never did anything good, this is a doubtful virtue. His last public utterance, which was the evening before his death, was on his favorite theme—abuse 01 the South. Let those of his stripe take warning. But notwithstanding all his intense and life-long hatred, a Christian peo ple will throw the broad mantle of charity over him and his deeds. LANIER HOUSE, NULBERRY STREET, MACON; SA.

The sale of the lease of this road was advertised to take place in Ma- con last Thursday, but in the excite- ment of the last moments of the "le- gal hours of sale,” they got into a| muddle and the affair resulted in no sale. The matter must have been very awkwardly managed, but it is thought will finally result in good to the State, as knowing ones assert the road will bring much more at the′ next sale, which is soon to be adver tised by Gov. Colquitt. There was some spirited bidding done, but it will be eclipsed at the next sale; it will be lively. Railroads seem of late years to be good property for the State.
