FIEE.-The largest fire, with one sxcep-
ton, which ever occurred in Rushville, took
place here last night About half afr. u
O'Clock il was first discovered, under consider
able headway, in Samuel Poundstoae's black
smithshop, situated on the east side of Main
street, between Hamilton's tavern and the
race bridge ON the Brookville road. Itspeed-
ily Communicated to a building or the cor
ner Of the alley near Halailion's stables,
thence to the stables themselves and rear
buildings on Mr.. Hamilton's lot, but was pre-
vented from being extended 10 his main
buildings by his brick smoke house and the
exertions of our citizens in keeping the roofs
saturated with water. From Hamiltons sta
bles, it swept along the alley eastward and
soon communicated with the rear buildings of
VIM. Crawford, thence to his main buildings
in front on the square, comprising his stove
and tin shop and his residence: thence it
turned Westward. or rather, Mrs. Frazer's
splendid new brick building being pressed on
two sides east and south soon caught, also and
in about two hours and a halffronl is frst dis
covery the whole of that quare, except Hamil-
toms store house, tavern and residence, and
the old brick building of Frazer's was laid in
ruins. The loss Of property is perhaps $l0,-
600, much the largest of which falls on Mrs.
Frazer. Besides losing her fine new build
ing a considerable amount of groceries, bacon,
&c, was lost We understand Mr.. Craw-
ford IS partly insured, we believe Mrs. +. is

The SECRETARY OF STATE-The Indiana
Republican is striving TO Justify the course Of
Secretary Collins in refusing TO publish the
State Bank Law. They have taken upon
themselves hard task, and one they will not
be able TO make the people believe TO be
right. Mr.. Collins has no more right TO usurp
the authority he has in the premises, than the
printer has TO refuse to publish the law in his
paper. Let the Secretary place the CoEyier
down on the list of those instructing him TO
publish the law, whether that law be good,
bad, or indifferent-La Fayette Courier, l0h
Let him place the Evansville journal on
the same list. Ii being objected by Mr.. Col
lins that no provision had been made for paw
ing the expenses of publishing this law, we
wrote to him some time ago, that we would
pay the expense of making copies of the Free
Bank and State Bank Law, publish them cor
rectly in the Journal, and supply his Office
with one thousand extras of each law, or as
many more rs he might want Wereceived no
reply, but found the Free Bank Law in the
State Journal, and promptly republ,shed it.
There seems TO be but one opinion as TO Mr..
Collins late declaration of independence, and
that is unqualified condemnation. In that
popular opinion, We are sorry circumstances
oblige us most heartily to oconcur.-EraHsUfHe

There are various States that permit high
er rate of interest on special contracts, viz :
Vermont, seven per cent. may be charged
upon railroad bonds. In New jersey
per cent. may be charged in jersey City
and the township of Hoboken. In Mary
land, the penalty is a matter of some doubt,
in consequence of late decision of Judge
TANEy, which does not however, meet
the assent of the Bar of Baltimore In Ar
kansas, ten per cent. may be charged on spe-
cial contracts. In Illinois, the banks may
charge seven per cent, and ten l'er cent. may
be charged between individuals, on special
contracts. In louisiana, eight per cent may
be charged. In Michigan, contracts in writing
are legal to charge ten per cent. The same in
Mississippi and in Ohio. In Texas, twelve
per cent. may be charged on special con.

Revulsion to be Produced by the
LIQUOR Law

Itappears certain that the total destruction
of branch of business in which forty mil
lions of money are invested cannot he effect
ell without some serious suffering. The
amount involved in the Schuyler fraud was
not at most, adding the spurious to the real
stock, five millions of money; and the actual
lions are invested in the liquor business in the
city and the vicinity; and we shall be within
the mark if we say that over one half this
sum must be totally lost if the bill be carried
out. We measure the consequences by the
Schuyler business,
1t is very we'll to talk about the duty of
enforcing the laws there can be no question
but the laws should be enforced, but we must
try if we can, not to cut our throats in the
doing of it. Ifin the present delicate condi-
ton of trade, twenty or more millions ofprop-
erty be suddenly destroyed, obliterated, re-
duced to a value of zero-and this must be
the effect of the Prohibitory Liquor Law
more mischief will be inflicted than would
flow from a score of riots. Nothing, in short,
can prevent an extent of disaster compared
to which the vulsion of last year was mere
frolc. All the men who are concerned in the
