: Usrnv LAw.-This Law Was under d;scu..
s,on in the last Legislature, and the PROPOSE
ton to repeal Il WAS With some difficulty de-
'eased. We felt constrained to oppose the
movement, according to the best Of our abil-
isy, and we're grati6sd At its failure. Al win
have bsen seen, Il has again been discussed

resPondsnee Of this morning announces tina,
tne proposition TO repeal has received its
qaiesas in the House. In this, the House has
oone wsaL ltiss lame philosophy to say,
after arm'ng money with power possessed
BY no other article Of traffic, that that traffic
and that power nay safely be left unreru-
lated BY the law which bestowed the power.
And It 10 sa6essot answer to the plea Of
eompesision in the supply Of money - . re-
nance TO reduce the rates Of ipterc st, to po;n,
TO the fact that j. is the money lenders, no,
'ns borrowers, who are seeking the repeal Of
the law. The Legislature might have takes
fatal step in vensuring upon 70 danssrou,
an experiment.
