UsURY LAw.-In the State Tribune of
the 10th inst, we find report made to the
Senate on the 9th inst, by Mr.. Ferguson,
as Chairman Of the Judiciary Committee
adverse to the bill introduced several days
ago by Mr.. Shaw, entitled can act con.
corning the interest on money" The re-
port takes what We conceive to be the prop,
er ground upon the subject, and bears the
mark Of much keen foresight, and sound re-
Election. We quote the opening para
graph:
The object Of the bill is to make it illegal
for parties to receive or contract for more
than sixteen per cent. per annum, interest
upon loan or forbearance of any money,
goods or things in action, with a right OF
action in favor Of the party paying, against
the party receiving more than such amount
of interest for the recovery Of not less than
seven times, nor more than eleven times the
amount of the money so paid. While the
price of every other commodity and article
of trade is left wholly unrestricted by law,
to be settled according to its market value
in the discretion to the contract, we see no
good reason why money and money alone
should be made an exception. That wise
rule that the price Of all horses should be
the same, and no man at any time should
be allowed to pay more than one hundred
dollars for a horse, would be most unwise
and oppressive upon the rights of the peo-
pie; because the fluctuations of the market
are such that horse of the same quality
and description which would be really worth
one hundred dollars to-day, might in ten
days be worth one hundred and twenty dol
lars, also because there is a great difference
in the intrinsic value of horses, so with
money, its actual value changes according
to the laws of trade as does that of every
other kind of property. The merchant or
trader who is compelled to borrow or sink
into hopeless bankruptcy, may in thirty
days from now be able to pay one or two
per cent. per month for the loan of money
more than he could afford to pay to-day,
and derive more profit from his business
when he pays the greater than when the
lesser amount of interest. This is fact in
the knowledge of every man at all CONVEX
SAINT with business, whether he be a borrow
er or lender, or neither, and as there is g
difference inthe intrinsic value Of horses, so

meeting of the citizens of this place, to
visit Coloma, FL Dorado, Diamond Springs,

those places, relative to a removal of the
county seat submitted report.
By vote Of the meeting the President ap-
pointed committee consisting of Nessrs.
Rock, Terrell, Graham, Gibbs and George,
to draft preamble and resolutions express
sive of the sense Of this meeting.
BY vote of the meeting the President al
so appointed a committee of five consisting
of Messrs. Henry, Webster, Platt, Reyburn
and Clegg, to which the President was ad-
ded, to address pertinent communication
to the III Dorado delegation in the Legisla-
ture; whereupon the committees retired and
after short stay the last of said commit
tees submitted the following report, which
was unanimously adopted:
To Messrs. McCallum, Fi5ke, Hook and
French; and Messrs. Oliver, Boreland.
Bowe, Gage, Heiskell Taylor, Welch
and White, constituting the FL Dorado
delegation in the Legislature of the State
of California:
Gentlemen:-At a public meeting held
by the citizens Of Georgetown and vicinity,
on the 9th day of February, A. d. 1886,
the undersigned, committee chosen for
that purpose, submitted the following re-
port which was adopted without dissent
ing voice:
WHEREAS, Vigorous and determined eff
forts are being made by citizens of certain
portions of this County, to remove the
County Seat thereof from Coloma to Pla-
cerville;
And whereas, we believe such removal is
against the wishes of the mass of the citi-
zens OF the county at the present time-as
well as heretofore when submitted to a
vote of the people at large.
Now therefore, we, committee appoint
ed by the citizens of Georgetown and vicin-
lty, and expressing their wishes, do most
distinctly demonstrate and protest against
such removal; and solicit your active coop
Grafton with us, in an earnest, watchful and
unceasing opposition to this movement.
Should any action be taken by the Leg
islature on this subject, we ask for the or
ganizatiOn of new county, to be formed
out of the territory lying between the South
and Middle Forks of the American River.
The proposition to compel the citizens of
the above named portion of Ell Dorado
County to cross the South Fork of the A
merican as high up as Placervillc to reach
the County Seat is one SO irreconcilabIe to
their sense of justice and to their convent
cnce, that they are unwilling to give con-
sent thereto.

REGISTRY LAw.-Mr Welch, of this
county, has introduced in the Assembly a
bill for "An act requiring the registration
of the names Of legal voters in the incorpo-
rated cities of this State" Some measure
of the kind is very much needed to prevent
the Wholesale election frauds practiced in
the larger cities, and in San Francisco in
particular. We know nothing of the mer-
its of Mr.. Welch's bill, but from the strong
opposition which is manifested toward it
by the Democracy, we are led to believe
that it is somewhat stringent in its provis-
ions, and likely to seriously affect the chan
ces of the Phalanxers for trading in illegal
foreign votes and balIot-box stuffing.
