In connection with the above business we
have estabiced an
Agency for The purchase of goods in San

One Of the firm, Mr.. Bartlett,) will reside
permanently in San Francisco, and will give his
,ckoie attention TO the selection, purchase, and
forwarding of goods on commission.
The advantages of permanent residence in
San Francisco, in purchasing goods, must be OBJ
vious TO ALL
Having had about fifteen years experience in
the Eastern States and San Francisco, and two
years residence in the mining region, thereby
becoming familiar with the wants of the mining
trade. and not being interested in the sale of goods,
we feel justified in offering our services to the
merchants of the interior, and hope by CAREFUL,
PROMPT, and FAITHFUL attention TO orders, to
merit and receive liberal patronage.
Orders should be accompanied with the
funds, q careful description of goods ordered,

The Usury Laws

The Pennsylvania Inquirer expresses the nope
that one of the first acts Of the Legislature oil
that State will be the repeal of the existing o-u-
~ laws. We echo the wish in regard TO the Leg
lslature Of Virginia. We agree @ith the Inquirer
that these laws are behind the times. aud their
effect under existing circumstances, is most per
nicious All the leading cities Of the Union have
taken ground against them. The question. moro
over, involves party considerations, mud thus
the effort To repeal should and will, we trust, be
sustained by all parties. The example OF Grc"
britain is before us, and we should profit by the
experience of that country. The final Act Of
Parliament was unanimous IN both Houses. And
this, too. after a thorough investigation OF the
subject.
The annexed remarks of the journal aboYe
quoted are true and to the point as well as On
trely applicable TO our own State:
II is. indeed worse than mockery for laws to
exist in state like this, restricting the loan of
money at a higher rate of interest than SIX per
cent per annuin, and with large sums constantly
loaned at three times that rate AS well might
the Legislature attempt to fix rate OF rental Tor
houses The only effect is to deter the consci-
entious, and thus to play into the hands OF tho
greedy and grasplng.
The object originally was no uouot Bood' M"
a singular prejudice has existed for years nd
verse to repeal. But il has given way gradually
before the force Of reason, argument and com
mon sense, and we indulge u hope that little or
no opposition will be manifested by the Ieglsla-
ture 1t is highly probable that the usury laws
of all the neighborng States will be repealed and
hence n similar course will become necessary in
some sense to PENNSYLVANIA. Among our neigh
bors of New York, the legal rate of interest is
per cent, and vet that is earnestly protested
against and bill of repeal has already been
framed by the Board of Trade, aud will he sub
mitted with prospect ct success Ia the next
Legislature. In Massachusetts similnr move
ment is in progress, and also in Maryland,
Virginia and North Carolina.
The Philadelphia Board of Trade at a recent
meeting. adopted memorial, calling for the abo-
ltion of the usury laws, and instrnctng the Com
mittee charged with the subject "to limit their
application for repeal to promissorv notes aud
bills of exchange having not more than twelve
months to run, and passing between individuals
contra distinguished from corporations. -
This strikes us as proposition every way reas-
enable. and calculated TO obyiate every possible
objection The early action of the Legislature
is earnestly solicited inasmuch other
measure that could be adopted by that body would
so promptly and fully assist the commercial,
manufacturing aud business classes. There is
no lack of capital in Philadelphia, and all that
borrowers well as lenders require is that they
should be permitted to negotiate together in IA ia
milliar, frank and honorable manner, and without
reference to oppressive improper and absurd re
strIctlons,

During the last Congress- says the Wash

propriated towards the erection of an equestrian
statue of the Father of his Country by CLARK
Mills. OF this amount we learn the artist drew
twenty thousand dollars in order to commence
the great work After completing the design,
he encountered series of unavoidable misfor-
tunes, including the destruction of his studio hy
a storm, and of his foundry by fire. His losses
by these events are upward of ten thousand dol
lars. 1t is said he now requires further ad-
vance of only five thousand dollars, with a view
of continuing his operations: and we with pleas.
