During the recent debate in the House of
Representatives GU The question of granting
further tine to take testimony in the con-
tested election case of F~ALLANDIGHAM and
CAMPBELL, of this State, Mr.. GILMER, of
North Carolina, referring to the determina-
ton of the contestant and his friends to
AXE advantage Of a tecdnicality to place
him in a seat to which he was not elected
by the people of the district, gave that gen.
tleman a dig under the fifth rib that must
have s~uflused his countenance with crimson,
if his over-anxiety to secure the place at
all huzards and under any circumstances has
not rendered him incapable of ~blushing,-
Mr.. Gilmer said:
"Sir, no member of this House, when the
case comes to a final hearing, would be more
ready, upon all the facts, with the supple
ment testimony before us or not, to do am-
pie Justice to Mr.. V~allandigham than the
person who now ad dresses this House. But,
sir, under the circumstances. were in Mr..
Vallandigham's place, or were | one of his
personal advisers, | would says to him, "Let
all the facts be produced. After having
been q candidate in that district Tor three
successive times; after having been rejected
by that people twice; and having The legal
returns Of the third election decided against
you, | would place no impeachment in the
way Of tuking that testimony. Do not have
yourself subjected to the suspicion of asking
to be voted u member of the House of Re-
representatives. by that body, itself, in the face
of the fact that this additional testimony may
disclose that you were not elected by the
people you seek TO represent"

amount 5 per cent per annum TOR the twenty
years-or II per cen: per annum is the whole
interest we pay on the loan in question.
There is an apparent Inconsistency in a
State. Government making and continuing
upon it's records q law which renders the
taking of more than six per cent illegal
while i. becomes a party 10 such a palPable
violation of the spirit and intent of the law.
If our Legislators had mnch confidence that
they could lower the rate Of interest BY Pc
nal enactmeuts it is rather remarkable they
did not give the usury laws another touch be-
fore coasenting to become the victims of
such wrongs. Why did they not add penal
ties and forfeiture 10 the existing law, or enact
new statutes that would be more effective,
then watch the money market and note the
decline in interest, aud continue to legislate
u tl they had brought it down to the legal
standard, and thus save the tax payers OF the
State from the burden of such exorbitant in
terest! and themselves FROM the charge of
having tempted The capitalists and bankers
of the State into a violation of the law?
and thus have shown their consistency, aud
given Ohio the honor of presenting to the
world one instance, the frs: and last, where
this kind OF legislation had proved beneficial?

DnTGLAs IN u SENATR-Mr.

the Southern Senators. Whenever

tons, halt a dozen members on the
Democratic side OF the Chamber start
up from their seats TO put him down.
Mason Scowls dissent. PAWS busters
'obiectinns.' Toombs growls some
thing about enforcing parliamentary
law and the Vice President blandiy
rules him 'uut of order.' If he under
takes TO claim the usual courtesies o.

ever he takes the floor. they never

got him down into his chair again.

We regret TO notice hat our neighbOr of
the Standard does not take our suggestions
of last week in the kindly spirit in which
they were made. We beg to assure him
that we have not the least idea of applying
to Dir. Buchanan for his place, nor do we
thin it at all probable that We shall very
soon seek to secure The favor of his patron
saint by becoming an advocate of the Lee
compton swindle." We have heretofore de-
clared our willingness, and even preference,
that he should retain the place while its be-
stowal remains in present hands-and as
proof of the sincerity of our regards, we
will be pardoned for referring to the fact that
we have for years been donating to him the
little patronage connected with the office
which both the law and professional usage
assigns to US, Our caution was solely de-
signed to put him on his guard against the

The Missouri Democrat. which ~pporte

The Missouri Democrat, which supported
Buchanan for the Presidency, will not pub
lish his Lecompton Message. 1t says that
"it is not a State paper in any true sense of
the word, but on the contrary the merest It's
sue of special pleading to bolster up a fraud
ulent project. It neither contains unbiased
facts nor honest arguments, and moreover,
from the manifest suppression of some parts
of q narrative whilst relying upon others,
from. the silentc in regard TO every known
circumstance that initiates against its views
and from the Justification of points of histo-
ry upon which the records of the State De-
parsment itself contradict it, it is that the
President knew he was guilty of duplioity
and a willful attempt to deceive and misrep-
sent when he wrote it."
