TEE UsURY QUESTION.

a gentleman writing to the President OF
Liberia, says:
hone there is no law in Liberia to re-
strain the rate of usury or charge Tor the
use of Money. Usury is especially enjoined
by our Saviour in the parable OF the LORD
and the three servants, to whom he entrust-
ed 5 talents, 2 talents, and one talent OF
money. The tive first traded with their
money, and returned the principal to their
Lord increased 100 per centum; ouf the
i.dolent and stupid third servant hid his
talent of money in the ground and on. the
return of his Lord gave him back the ori-
pinal amount without any increase, upon
which his Lord scolded him as wicked
and slothful servant who had not put out
the money s.te the exchangers, and then at
my coming l should have received NINE
own with usury" Usury is the greatest
stimulus to industry, enterprise and COM
mercial success that exists. The charge
of ., 3. 5, or 6 per cent. tor the use oi
mepev, is as much usury in principle as
the charge of 10, II, or 90 per cent. The
difference is in degree. If Government re-
! strain the narimum rate of usury. 1t has an
equal right to restrict the minimum rate
also. They have as much reason to de-
clare that usury shall never be less than
3 or 4 per cent. as they have to say that it
shall not be higher than or per cent
as many unwise legislators in America
my own native State of Pennsylvania
among others-decree and fix as maxima
rates. / am happy to say that England
many years ago abolished the restriction
on the rate of usury, and 10 per cent has
been the minimum rate lin practice, not 6y
laul for two months past; and l am glad to
say that France, Hamburg Prussia, and
other States on the Continent have, within
the last five or six weeks, abolished the re-
strictinn and allowed 10 per cent. to be
charged fer the use of money. AS well
might we fix the marimum price of coffee,
sugar, palm oil, -four, &C., as to fix the
price of money, which huctuates in value
precisely as any other representative OF
value, according to the supply and the de-
mand. Money has commanded in London
within few weeks price OF ~ or even
IS and 80 per cent. 1t is now only 8 pei
cent, and in two months it will only be
worth 5 per cent, and l have frequently
known it since my residence in London
to be worth IL, 2, "a %, and per cent
and so forth. Legislation cannot Tx the
; value of any commodity, and it is unwis'
f to attempt it, particularly in regard t'
money, for if people want it they will pay
q for it whatever will produce it or commant
it, and restriction of the rate of usury
, prevents conscientious people and capital
lists from bringing money into the marke
o when it is most wanted and most dear, an
this prevents the ease and lowering of Pric
q which would be the effect if all the boarded
f money were brought forward in times
o panic and commercial crisis. Nothing
, as unwise as restraining the rate of usury

DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN.-So far ff-
ty-fve counties has held meetings and ap
pointed delegates to the Democratic Con-
vention to be held at Charlotte ON the 18th
of April next and SO far union and harmo-
ny in regard to Democratic principles have
characterized every meeting. We trust
that union and harmony will also mark the
proceedings of the Convention. Men pass
away but principles are immortal.
"Sam" went into q distribution specula-
ton, and we learn has made deed of
trust, appointing ex-consul McRae trustee
to sell out the effects and wind up the con-
Germ. After the first Thursday in August
next. the statute of limitations will be
pleaded in bar of the recovery of all de-
mands, and if that should fail. they will
amend by pleading "no assets "a plea
that is bound to hold good. Hence it is
that Sam" has not held single meeting
in a single county-Standdrd.

favor of reducing the prico 35 per cent.
They give the binding to the lowest bid

MURDER BY A NEGRo.-On Thursday
night last a most atrocious murder was
committed on Topsail Sound, in this county
by negro fellow named Peter, belonging
to Owen Holmes, Esq. 1t seems that Peter
had been runaway from Mr.. Holmes PLAN
tation, and MIR Charles H. Nixon. Mr.
Holmes overseer. went in pursuit Of him,
and had succeeded in coming up with
the fugitive, when the negro turned round
upon him and shot him through with a
pistol. We understand that Mr. Hulmes was
along with Mr. Nixon. The negro fred
once and missed Mr. n. Mr. Holmes pre-
scented his gun at the negro. but it snapped.
and the second fire from the negroes pistol
killed Mr. Nixon. The Negro has been

tiser, a Republican paper, assumes to have
learned from a confidential source that
General Cass will soon withdraw to private
life. The Journal of Commerce discredits
this, diselaiming, however, all personal
knowledge. and adds that the Secretary is
far advanced in years, but he is active and
vigorous, fond of public life, and we doubt
not far happier in his present position than
he would be in retirement. At the advanced
age which the veteran statesman has attain
ed, there is liability at any time to failing
health and vigor, but until that day arrives,
we have every reason to believe that Gen.
Cas- will prefer to occupy the position he
has thus far SO gracefully filed under the
present Administration.

Is The Tehama Gazette, of Saturday,
tells the following story:
"WHo IS Mr. VERBALLY "a young gen
tleman residing in town and who we shall call
Dave for convenience, procured the services
of a friend, lately, to carry note for him to
a lady-a blooming grass widow, containing
an invitation to attend ball The friend
arriving at the place of destination smilingly
bade the fair one good evening" and presen-
ted the delicate mssve for her inspection and
perusal. The lady took the note but owing
to slight oversight made by her parents in
the trifing matter of education, she handed
1t to her mother to read the old lady never
having got that far, intrusted it to the pater-
nal head of the family, who, after much de-
ciphering, finally made out its contents to be
as above. The postscript was yet to come
and it read as follows "You will please an.
swer by note, or verbally"
Verbally, verbally" reoined the lady
who is Mr.. Verbaly2"
THAT means me !" screamed the note-bear
er as he rushed from the house with his hand
kerchief stuffed into his mouth and two but
tons less on the waistband of his inexpressi
bles 1t is needless to inform our readers that
he has not been thar or tharabouts. since;
and that he is known by no other name A.
round Tehama than Mr. Verbally.

From THE FIELD OF WAR.-A correspondent
writes to the Trinity Journal, from Camp
Prosser," on the l4th inst, as follows:
Our good commander Capt. Messec, hav
ing information of body of Indians at this
place. sent 80 men under Captain Prosser. to
surprise the camp, We set out at 10 o'clock
at night, and at daylight reached the Indi-
ans camp. who received us with yells and
arrows. We fought like good men, long
and WELL but the fleet foe left us few tro-
phies. In the melee squaws fought desper,
ately as any. Five "buclSs" were killed, sew
eral wounded, and fourteen made prisoners
Considering tho failure of intended surprise,
| think the battle of Camp Prosser" was a
right smart chance" of war.
We are all well, officers and men, and our
Captain is looking up Christmas fight.

STARVED ORA party of the hostile Indi-
ans, says the Trinity Journal, recently came
to fish in creek on the ground hunted by
Messee's men, They besought a neighboring
ranchman to permit them to catch some fish,
for they and their people were starving, not
daring to hunt, fish or make fire Word
was, however, sent to camp, and it was de-
signed to take them prisoners, to be sent to
the Reservation. Prisoners at camp are not
anxious to run away-they are rather pleas
ed by improved diet, Cruel as it may seem
to pursue these naked, starving devils it is
necessity.

DINING OUT.-We met an Indian on Trini-
ty river travelling by himself, and carrying a
huge pine bur, which he had provided for
dinner. He stopped on big, fiat rock, and
prepared to dine, and having beaten the seeds
from the bur with a small stone, he ate them
with manifestations of extreme good appe-
tite. Having dined, the rascal had the au-
daeity to pick his teeth with the apparent
seltSatlstaction of an Astor House 6oarder,
ana started on his journey with nothing on
but shirt OF very indecorous brevity We
thought he afford led very striking ilustra-
ton oftrue American independence. Trinity
