The USu7y Law,

The House of Assembly of this State,
on the day before its adjournment, passed
finally, the bill relative to the rates of in.
terost. 1t goes into oneration from, .rl
after the 4th of July next, and cstablishe 8
the rate at g per cent. per annum, where
no express contract is made to the contra.
ry. Where higher rate than per cent.
is agreed on, the aid Of law is withheld
from the lender for the collection Of the
excess or usury; but where the usury is
paid by the borrower, the aid of the law
is likewise withheld from him for the re-
covery Of it back, unless suit for the same
is commenced within six months. In
cases where usury is taken in advance, the
borrower has the right to deduc. and with
hold the amount paid above 6 per cent in
the payment of the principal.
The real object of this law is to facili-
tate usurious or illegal interest on money
loans, although its apparent design is to
check it. 1t repeals those portions of the
old law that forbid the taking Of more
than per cent, and indirectly legalizes
contracts or "shaves" for the use of money
at any rate Of interest the parties may
agree upon; which means, at any rate the
cold and calculating lender has the con.
science Cor rather, the want of conscicnce)
to exact, and the necessities Of the borrower
oblige him to pay. This is all thc usurers
want, and all they have been striving to
obtain from the Legislature for SO many
years. 1t may suit Philadelphia well
enough, where money is required for many
purposes that will bear heavier interest
than 6 per cent, but in tho country dis
,ricts its operation can not be otherwise
than pernicious.-L Lehiyh Register.

Claims Lost Property during the Mexi-
can War.

The Republican says:-In the fall OF 1918
Congress passed law designed 10 cover all
claims for lost horses and other property in
the Mexican war, but by the construction
given 10 it by the Auditor of the Treasury
Department, very few, if any, claims have
been allowed under the law. For the last
seven or eight years the members Of Con-
gress from Missouri have been endeavor-
ing TO effect the passage of an amendment
TO that law, in order that it might enable
tho Auditor 10 allow and pay all just claims
arising under it. THIS amendatory bill has
been passed at least twice in the lower
House Of Congress, and at distinct sessions
Of Congress, but from some unfortunate mis-
hap, ha, never been finally acted upon in the
Senate. We think our National authorities
are neglecting this matter most shamefully,
and we do hope that our members in the
lower House will again, as they have done
before, push the matter through-and that
Messrs. Green and Polk will lose 10 time
in pressing the measure in the Senate. This
measure is SO full Of justice and right that
we have full confidence in its almost un-
animous passage when taken up in the
Senate. The majorites when passed before
in the lower House were very large, and no
doubt will be SO again. There are many
States Of the Union interested in this bill,
more particularly the Western AMI Southern
States, and we think this act Of justice will
be no longer Withheld.

ETERNITr.-"Eternity has no gray hairs"
The flowers fade, the heart withers, man
grows old and dies; the world lies down in
the sepulchre of ages, but time writes no
wrinkle on the brow Of eternity.
Eternity! Stupendous thought. Theever
present, unborn, undecAying and undying-
the endless chain, compas sing the life of God
the golden thread, en:wining the desiinies
OF the universe.
Earth has lis beauties, but time shroud
them for the grave; its hOnOrs they are but
the sunshine of an hour; lis palaces, they are
but as The gilded sepulchre; its possessions
they are toys Of changing fortune; its pleas
nres, they are but IS burthening bubbles
Not so in the untried bourne.
In the dwelling Of the Almighty can come
no footsteps Of decay. It's day vii! know
no darkening splendors forbid the,
approach Of night, Its fountains will never
fail, they eGresh from the eternal thron
It's glories will nsxor wane, for there is the
ever present God; lis l,afmonies will never
cease, c%harstless love supplies the song.

RETURN or Miss EMILY J. BAoUNr-BAsIs OF
THE AILEGED COMPROMISE.
The statement contained in the Tribune Of
yesterday Of a prospective cessation OF HOSTILE
ties In the proceedings 10 court relative to the
custody ct Mrs. and Miss Emily j. Blount, and
1.-The contempt Of DE Riviere ii not putting IN
4 return to the writ 1t habeas corpus, have
been partially confirmed by the occurrences Of
yesterday, and though the proceedings have
not yet been discontinued In court, there ID but
little prospect oftheir renewal.
Vafions reasons, mentioned in the Tribune
yesterday, suggested the ndvisability Of com
promising differences between Mrs. md Mr..
Blount before witnesses shou d be brought to
the stand to disclose disagreeable facts ii con-
~nection with the scandal and the interview
between Mrs. and Mr.. Blount, in which the
latter disclosed what wonldbe proven, brought
matters at once to Il focus. The compromise
proposed mud aecededto was substantially this:
Mrs. Blolnt, with the assistance of Mn. Huncke,
should produce and deliver to Mr.. Blouni the
daughter. Mrs. Blount was also to rejain her
husband, but was accorded the privilege 81
choosing her place Of destination on leaving
Now York. as, under the circumstances, it
would be unpleasant to go at once to Mobile
Mr.. Blount was to discontinue all proceed
ings against Huncke and De Riviere, Of what,
ever nature and as the attachment issued by
the Court, for contempt, against De Riviere
can not be Withdrawn by the law Of New ,Jer
seyt proceedings were to be taken TO have Il
qnashed in regular form, and De Riviere was
to be allowed to go to Europe manifested
Land lastly. Mr.. Blount was to foot the bills
That This was substantially the compromise, il
made evident by the fact that, early yesterday
morning, Miss Blonnt made her appearance a

being telegraphed last night TO return, she tool

FHRThaER From rHs CABLE FLEEr.-New

seagoing vessel. The Agamemnon, on the
contrary, suffered severely. and ut one time oil
hopes Of saving her were lost, so great was her
straining; but the storm subsidized ut last, and
she rode out the gale. An accident, however,
occurred on board, caused by The breaking loose
Of the connections which held the cable III posi-
ition on the gun-deck, letting the coil shift its
position. As it pitched about, two seaman
were injured, and other accidents occurred.
The two vessels and tenders finally arrived
on the ground on the morning Of the 26th

paying out had hardly commenced before the
wire snapped. After a few hours detention,
another splice was made, and the steamers
