The TJsurV Laws.

A movement i, on foot in England, with 4
goud prospect of success, for the repeal oi the
usnry laws. a great mass of evidence has bcen
adiuccd to show that they operate to increase
the very evils that they are intended TO prevent,
and to opprcss the very Glasses they are intended
10 relieve A bill for the total repeal OF Inc
usury laws has passed to Il second reading In Inc
House of Lords, the Marquis OF Lansdowne,
Lord ampbcII, Lord Brougham and the Lord
CHANCELLOR all speaking in favor OF 1t. Great
notifications in The usury laws have been made
in England, and indeed in all enlightened conn
tries They are the remnants of that legislation
which first forbade all interest or pay for The
use OF money.
1t is quite plain that the laws regulating the
rate OF interest produce no restraint upon trans
actions between individuals, and they are to a
considerable extent evadrd BY corporations whIie
they undoubtedly prevent foreign capital from
flowing in us freely as it otherwise would, when
the rates are high. and the competition greater
between The borrowers than the lender. AS
many circumstances enter into the market value
of money us Of most other commodities, ana II
would be as unreasonable to enact that sour
flour should DC sold al the same price rs sweet,
rs that the interest OF money loaned on undouDt-
ed landed securily should be the same as wncn
loaned upon no other than personal security,
and depending upon the life and success OF the
borrower. The laws which make it illegal for a
man TO pay eight per cent. often drive nlin 10 10
pay twelve. for the lender who lends without
the security of law charges something lor Tue
additional risk
1t is the opinion of many commercial men
and we think it is the growing "Pinion' mat 'ne H
usury laws should be repealed, and money lett
like amy other article, 10 find its level in the re-
latons of supply and demand. The argument
against this is, that money is invested by law
with quality that it does not possess inherent
". and That no other commodity POSSESSES, ant
that, therefore, it ought not to be subject in al
respects to the same laws. There is force ir
! this; but if the borrowers must borrow money
it is equally true that the lenders must lend II
They cannot eat it nor wear it. Should 1t bt
thought too bold an experiment 10 repeal the
ueury laws altogether, they might be safely re-
pcaled for all individual transactions, ana tn'
rate extended for corporations 10 that which, II II
one way or another the borrowers are compeIi
ed 10 pay, and often at an Inconvenience as seri
ous as the increased rate Should tins wori
well, the restriction might be taken oil altogether
Should it not, we should have the remedy IN 60
ing back to the old law.--Providcnce Journal

Terrible Tornado.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2S.
We learn by n boat Just arrived from Louis
vile that destructive tornado swept over
that city yesterday afternoon, accompanied by
an awful destruction of life and an immense
destruction of property
The congregation Of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church were at the time of the storm attending
service The wind lifted up the roof, and caused
the walls to totlle, and amid scene of fright
and confusion fell down into the body of the
church carrying with it a portion of the walls.
The reports received here state that twenty-five
OF the congregation were instantly killed and
large numblr seriously wounded, many of them
fatally
SECOND DESPATCH.
The Louisville papers of this morning contain
full particulars of Yesterdays Tornado Tho
Democrat describes it as one of the most vio
lent storms that ever swept over that section of
the country.
The Third Presbyterian Church, on the cor.
ner of Eleventh and Walnut streets was COM
pletely wrecked, and the entire building fell in,
including The roof, raftcrs, and brick wall, crush
ing twenty of the congregation 10 instant death,
and AM wounding severely ten or twenty others.
The scene was truly heart-rcnding. Soon q
large crowd assembled, cnd began their search
for the victims. A mother and her three chill
dren were grouped in death. Another scene
presented 4 father, mother and babe-the father
dead and the mother mortally wounded, while
the little child placed beneath them remained un.
hurt being protected by the form of its parents.
In other instances, some of the victims were
found terribly wounded and MANNED
The catastrophe has stricken CONSERVATION in.
to the very heart of the city, and its people are
appalled, beyond belief,
Fully one hundred buildings in the city werc
unrooted and otherwise injured. The total loss
is estimated at 100000.
The storm was also very severe in Jefferson
vile, where four houses were blown down.
