The Nebraska Bill,

The Baltimore Clipper says all its pre-
dictions with regard to the Nebraska Bill
have been fulfilled. 1t thinks the South
has not made much out of the passage of
that msasure, and gives list of conse-
qnents which have resulted therefrom.-
We quote:
There has been fusion of parties at the
North pledged to prevent the entrance of
another Slave State into the Union Ne
braska and Kansas will both be Free States.
The North may now exclude slavery from
territory souUn or The Missouri Compro-
mise line. The antislavery excitement is
more intense than it ever was. The Flu
gitive Slave law is the next thing to null
'lity, and may be repealed altogether-and
the Democratic party is shattered into frag-
ments. The Nebraska Bill has recoiled
with terrible effect upon its author; and
instead of helping Senator Douglass into
the Presidential chair, or keeping Presi,
dent Pierce in his seat, has destroyed the
hopes of both. 1t has carried into Con
gress, wherever it has been made a ques
ton, majority of members opposed t.
the measure--and has given rise to intcns,
excitement where tranquility before pre-
vailed.

Indiana Free Banks,

The Sandusky Register says: " In fur
nishing a statement of the stock securities
pledged by the Free Banks of Indiana fol
the redemption Of their circulation, Mr.
Dunn, the State Auditor, says that he Is
cancelling daily from thirty to fifty tnou.
sand dollars for the different Banks. Al
this rate the amount of Indiana money in
circulation will soon be reduced to a COM
paratively triAing sum. The only thing tc
be apprehended in the present stringency
in money matters is, that the market val
ue of the stocks may be depressed by the
continual offerings of securities in the East.
EN- cities, The Tribune of Friday mott
ces the fact that the money withdrawn
from temporary investments for permanent
investment in these stocks, had already
produced sensible effect upon the supply
for current and steeet loans. 1t is proba.
bic, however, that this evil will be only 9
partial one, as the abortion of stocks is
gradual. Meanwhile the amount of cir,
cuiation in Ohio and Indiana already
inconveniently small,-is continually les
sening, while Eastern Exchange is greater
than the demand.
The statement of Auditor Dunn, a syn.
opsis of which we published last week,
will have the effect Of restoring confidence
in the soundnoss of the Indiana Banks,
with perhaps one or two exceptions ; and
with the return of confidence it may reas-
onably be hoped that the liquidation Of
their circulation will bein a measure check.
ed. The process, at least, will be carried
on more gradually, and thus the remote
probability of depreciation in the value
Of their securities will he avoided. Mr.
Dunn speaks very confidently of the Free
Banks He says:
cit seems to me, from a careful exam
ination of the securities, you cannot bu
discover that our Banks are we'll secured
and with any kind of fnrbearance on the
part of the public, they would be soon al
prepared to sustain the high position they
have attained under run upon them un
paralleled in the history of Banking in th'
United States"

~ GOVERNOR OF OREGON.

EE GOVERNOR OF OREGON
S. Curry, of Oregon, has been appointed
Governor Of that territory, vice General
Lane, resigned. Mr.. c. is about thirty
four years of age, is a native of Philadel-
phia, but when young man, worked in
the jeweller shop of Clark & Curry, Bos-
ton, and had for his shopmate, VIM. D.
Kelly, the present Judge of the Philadel-
phia Court of Common Pleas. Both
Gov. Curry and Judge Kelly, when young
men, working at their trade, belonged to
the Apprentices Library Company and
although their education was limited to
what was afforded in the Common Schools,
they were always ambitions, and ready to
take advantage Of every opportunity to
increase their store of knowledge. The
result is that these two apprentices, with
ont fortune or rich friends to push then,
forward, or the benefits of any other. cdu.
cation than is free to the entire youth ol
country, have, while yet young men, TAX.
en- prominent position among the great
men of the land. The example, common
and of every day occurrence though it be-
should be all incentive to boys, every
where.

The editor seems to take pleasure in an.
nouncing that it is the practice of those OF

in this district to break open letters, AMI
thus watch the movements of that part oI

in Justice to the Postmasters in this district
that for the last few weeks there have been
tpo Clerks IN the Post Office Department a

claims to be secret agent of the Post

Business of all kinds came to a stand -stiI

An Important Movement,

The entire repeal Of the Usury Laws in
Great Britain has been accomplished at
the recent session of Parliament. 1t is
now lawful in Great Britain TO loan mon
ey at any rate of interest anC on any des-
cription of property, either real estate OF
otherwise
The bill passed the House of Lords on
the 9th Of Jul y, was Immediately brought
forward in the House of Commons, and
finally passed that body on the 5th oI
August last. and then became the law ol
the land.
This is one of the most important COM
mcrcial events of the present era. Tho
movement was not party one, as it was
begun in the year 1888, and has been
gradually and fully developed, dcmonstra.
ted by experience as sound policy, and
now and after 20 years observation, is
universally acknowledged in Great Brit.
ain as the best course to be pursued, witt
due regard to the interests and welfare O.
the borrower and the lender.
The bill was brought forward by Lore
Lanstowne, in strong speech, fortified
by facts, Lord Campbell, Lord Brough.
am, and the Lord Chancellor, all suppor
ted the bill. They all bore testimony tc
the injurious working of the usury laws
which were notoriously imperative ant
were wholly disregarded when the interest.
of borrowers and lenders came in connic
with them, and that they led to much ex
pense, extortion, injustice and litigation
beside the immoral tendency of the perpet
ual efforts to evade the force of law.
There is movement now going on il
New York to the same end, anil the ex
ample of England will most probably b.
followed by all commercial nations.
Several Protestant citizens of Bangor, Ma
have presented the Rev. Mr.. Bapst the Cathoi
priest who was lately assaulted in Ellsworth
