USURY la w.

The usurv law of our state has again been
altered. In the early part of the Session a bill
was introduced to repeal that portion Of the stat
ute which allowed ten per cent interest to be
collected when stated N a written contract or OBJ
legation. The bill passed through is several
stages but was lost IN the Senate, We believe on
the 25ih Of Januars. on the question Of lis en-
grossmen,. Subsequently the following section
was introduced into a bItl for the ''relIef OF the
borrowers OF The Sinking Fund, Surplus Revenue
Fur d, and other Funds, and for the better securl
t. Of the payment thereof"
SFc. s 81 much Of the second section Of The
act entiied an act regulating the interest o.
money IN the State Of Indiana, approved Februa-
nv Let, 1881. as allows a higher rate OF interest
,han SIX per centum per annum, be and the same
is hereby repealed.
The above named bin and section passed and
was approved January 3ls', 1912, The last day Of
The session. SIX per cent only IS now the Law /;
bu, IL vii be a dead letter upon The statute book,
and the assumed guardians of The dear peoples
nriyate business will find that they have had, TO
use a common expression, their labor for their
Mains. Under enlightened leg lslatIon and a inst
administration of il. there would be no use Tor
usnry laws; but while the Government of the
country is enfrusted 10 hose who will carry on an
eternal warfare against the interests Of the peo-
pie. the rates Of usnry will be high and laws oil
this kind cannot restrain Them.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1912.
Tho Senate was not in session today, having
adjourned until Monday.
In the House Of Representatives, the case Of
Mr.. Adams came up again. the question still be-
ing on tho amendment of Mr.. Summers, TO refer
the whole matter TO a select committee.
Yon will perceive that the National ln'elligen>
Ger Of this morning contains no report of the pro
ceedIngs of yesterday, owing to a harsh remark
made by Mr.. Adams, IN relation 10 the reports of
shat paper. The reason given is ,hat the remarks
were totally unjust, &c. THIS being the case,
Mr.. Adams brought the matter before the House,
and complained that while the speeches of his OPP
ponents were given IN full, his remarks were n
bridged. He then attempted TO show that the
lntelligencer, rs well as The papers OF this city,
is Influenced. by the slave interest. He SAID it
was well known that no paper containing a fair
account Of an abolition speech, could have a cir
cula,ion in the S oath, hence there was IA motive
in suppressing his speeches. Mr.. A caused 10

South CarolinIans some years ago. IN taking from
the mail all papers OF an abolition character. AT
ter dIsposlny of this branch Of The suit jeci. he al

necessary for his defence, and as he thought that
information would not be communicated at pres.
ent. he desired tho subject might be postponed
un,il il could be received. lie subsequently NOV.
cd u pos poneWeut until IhufSdaS week.
MIR. Marshall opposed The motion to postpone.
Mr.. Arnold was IN favor of the pending amend
mcnt Of Summers TO refer the whole matter 10
a select committee. l1e thought by that course
Mr.. Adams would get all the time he wanted.
MIR. Arnold then moved the previous question.
but subsequently Withdrew II, and Mr.. Adams
went on with his defence until the ID ipurnment.
IIe has the floor in continuation on Monday.
Shortly after the House had commenced bust.
ness, this morning, MIR. Andrews, of kv, oh
