And flashed with scorn his eye---...
"Talk not to NE OF DEATH" he cried,
"For only age should die."
I questioned age; for him the tomb.

THE LEGAL ADVISER, or how to dimin-
ish loses, avoid law suits, and save time,
trouble and money, by conducting business
according to law" is the title of a book
received from the publishers, Lippincott
& Co., through Mr. Lowrie. The book
contains useful and valuable information to
all classes of business men. 1t is for sale
at the Charlotte Book Store.
Also, received from the same source,
1.-The Analogy of Religion to the constitu-
ton and course of nature" by Joseph But
Ter, d. C. l.. In the sketch of this eminent
divine's life, as contained in the book, we
find many examples worthy of emulation. 1t
is stated that his public and private charities
were exceedingly generous; he gave $4,000
a year to the county hospital, and often
gave a thousand dollars at time to chart
table objects. But he was remarkably
frugal in his personal expenses. 1t is said
of him that on one occasion when a distin-
guished visitor dined with him by appoint
ment, the provision consisted of single
joint of meat and a pudding; Bishop butler
remarked to his guest that he had long
been disguised with the fashionable expen-
diture of time and money in entertainments,
and was determined that it should receive
no countenance from his example. Ifsome
people had acted on the same principle
they would not now feel the money pressure
SO tight.
Also, received from the same, a book
entitled }" Quits," which appears to be a
narrative of what immense good little
politencss does for man.
We thank the publishers and Mr. Lowrie
for copies OF the above works.

STATE ELECTIONS.

GEORGIA.-Brown, democrat, has been
elected Governor ty about 10000 MAORI

to Congress. Legislature democratic of
course.
CALIFoRNIA.-Edward Stanly, Formerly
of N. c. the black republican candidate
for Governor of California, has been de-
feated by Weller, democrat, by large
majority. Mr. Stanly is probably satisfied
now; and if he comes back to North Caro-
lima (which we hope he will never do) let
him take position by the side of Kenneth
Rayner in everlasting Punishment from

usuRY Laws

The papers in Virginia ara DISCUSSING
the propfiety of repeating the ,surv laws.
1t is contended that they are Injurious to
both the borrower and lender, and especial
ly in times like the present. We can see
no good reason why a man should not be
allowed to sell his dollar To a mncb sd-
vantage as he does bushel of wheat or
his horse. We believe that in North Caro-
lima the usury laws drive capital out of the
State. Who wants to put out their money
here at g per cent. when they can get for
it in South Carolina, or invest it in stocks
that will pay 10 per cent? A man in dis
tress wants money, and he should have the
privilege of paying whatever he chooses for
It,, But it is argued that lenders would
Cypress borrowers and take advantage of
their necessities; this is matter to be SET
tied between the parties. A man is not
compelled to loan his money at per cent,
but he is prevented from loaning it at an
interest over that amount-consequently
capitalists choose to hoard their funds or
invest them in some other way than that of
accommodating their neighbors. Thus the
needy man is prevented from obtaining re-
lief and his property is sacrificed as last
resort, and he loses double what he would
have lost by paying 8, 10, or even IL per
cent. for few hundred dollars which would
have relieved his immediate wants and per-
mitted him to continue business. We hope
the matter will be pressed before our next
Legislature and the present restrictions
repealed.

THE ''INDIvIDUAL LIABILITY CLAUSE
The Raleigh Standard says, 1.-The public
may now perceive in its most impressive
light, the Importance and value of the Gin
dividual liability clause" in bank charters.
for which the Democrats have always con-
tended. A bank may suspend or may fail,
yet the ,note-holder is as secure as possible,
for the bank is not only bound to the ex-
responsible in their private capacity to the
amount of their stock, and in some in
stances TO double the amount. Time, the
great trier of all things, is constantly DEM
onstrating the wisdom and soundness of
democratic principles"

MONEY MATTERS.-So far, no Bank in
this State has suspended, excepting the
Farmers Bank at Elizabeth City. A
branch Of the same institution at Greens
bOro continues to redeem its notes.
The tightness of the times might be re-
medied in measure by the people prevent
ing, to some extent, run on the Banks
for specie, and the Banks, in turn, favoring
and accommodating the merchants and
business men, as much.as possible. by dis
counting more paper, and financiering in
other ways less. I When a Bank continues
to pursue a narrow and contracted policy
1t is positive injury to the community in
stead of benefit.

TIE MoRMoNs.-Mr John Davis, an es-

in which he makes some startling illusions.
He says that man to be Mormon must
first give himself, his family. and all his
possessions over to Brigham Young. He
must then give one tenth of all he earns. and
keep from two to ten wives. Many persons,
he said, had been shot in trying to escape :;
and he (NIr Davis had seen dozens shot
down in the street, and three days before
he left he saw three persons killed merely
because they intended to escape. They
were shot down in place called Spring
field, while they were preparing their franks
to leave. This took place about o'clock
on a Sunday morning, within fifty yards of
the gate of the city. The first was young
man called William Parish he received
seven balls in his body. The second was
his father; and the third was man called
Porter, whose body received as many as
fifteen balls. The old man was pierced in
the back, and his throat cut in three differ
emit places. This is indeed terrible, if true.
