The usury La.1Ya.

The New York merchants held meeting the
day before yesterday, and adopted strong resolu-
tons in favor of a repeal of the Usury Laws
Among the reasons ASST gned are the following:
LIST. Because experience has proved that it is
entirely useless for the accomplishment of the
end proposed.
The legal rate of interest in this State is fixed
at seven per cent, which it is respectfully ur-
ged, is more beneficial for all interests, and on
every account, than the lower rate, sometimes
proposed, of six per cent. Yeta higher rate than
seven per cent, is continually, nay, almost daily
taken, and amid the changes of the money mar
ket will continue to be required and paid, not
withstanding the restrictions and the penalties
Of the law.
Cd Because no person has ever been indicted
under its provisions by grand jury, while the
law itself has been presented as a powerful
temptation to fraud on the part of debtors, high
ly injurious to public morals as well as the law
full business of the people,
Sd. Because the law has operated, under legal
construction, in favor of borrowers, enabling
them to deceive the lenders of money, and de-
prive them of their property, by pleading usuri
Gus consideration as bar to payment.
4th. Because it is unjust to the borrower as
well as to the lender of money.

Go1D HUNTING.-An mcid, mt was related to
yesterday Of an old man from Syracuse, New
York, who had been taken sick at the mines out
on the Sacramento, and who, having exhauste d
all his PROVISIONS was in most deplorable state
He went about from tent to tent among the mi
ncrs to beg mouthful to eat to keep him from
starvation. The miners, in scattering out, gene
rally take rod square, which is considered the
limits of their diggings. Entering camp one
day, the old man begged for meal, and told his
8 Dry of adversely. "Let's give him chance,
said the men, sshe's an old man and is Sick what
say youo let's help him OUT 'Well, agreed,
replied the party. s'Here, old man. said one
of them, 'you may have that spot over yonder
whar you sec that rock; SO take your pick and
go to work.
The old man started out, and the first day
realized the sum of sixty dollars. This gave
him new hope, and his friends rejoiced with
him at his good luck. The next day, however
the old man unlucky, and did not realize a
cent. They told him to try it again, however
and he did so. In picking under the rock, after
the exertion of whole day, the old man found
what is called "hen's nest, from which, in
one week, he realized the handsome sum of $l7,
900.
His friends told him that he had better stop
now, as he was old, and start home. So he
adopted their advice, and took the steamer at
Chagres for New York. We hope the old gen.
tleman may live to enjoy his good fortune.-.N
O. Picayune.
Fortunate for the old man, if true.
