R1oT AT QUEBEc-THE MILITARY CALLED Our
At Quebec on the night of the 26th ult., the City
Hall was the of disgraceful riot. The Coun-
Gil held special meeting to consider proposal to
increase the taxes on immovable estate. The acting
Mayor had taken the precaution to assemble the
police orce and to require picket of troops to be
under arms. About dusk crowd of upwards of 500
men and boys collected about the City Hall, and
soon began to be turbulent So soon as the strang-
ers' gallery was full, the police, who were drawn up
across the entry, and had orders to admit no more
OF the crowd, shut the front door upon them. They
thus kept back the mob, who smashed every pane of
glass about the door, and felled the police with
stones, DC. The constables being unable to quell
the disturbance, the military were called out At
ter some delay detachment of the 39th Regiment,
which kept at a short distance from the Hall,
came up. They halted in front of the building
The magistrate proceeded to read the riot act, and
the mob speedily dispersed. Several persons have
been injured and thirty of the police much cut
about the head

The JUDGMENT OF THE COURT UPON A
MAN DECIA RED MOTT Guilty.

The trial of Hardesty for the shooting of Grubb
occupied three days of last week at Burlington, in
Boone county, Kentucky. 1t will be remembered
that sister of Hardesty was seduced by Grubb,
and that Hardesty told the seducer that he would
give him six months in which to make his choice
between marrying the girl and being killed The
six months expired, and Grubb not having married
the GIRL Hardesty met him, and on sight Shot him.
The evidence showed that Grubb was armed also in
expectation of the attack, but was shot in the act
of drawing his weapon. The trial was ended last
Thursday, and the verdict of the jury was not
guilty. The following is the substance of the judg-
ment pronounced by Judge Nutal upon the yer
dict of not guilty by the jury in behalf of Hardesty
SR-YOu have been indicted by a Grand Jury of
your country upon a most heinous charge. You
have put yourself upon your country and your God
for deliverence. You have had fair and impartial
trial before them and they have both pronounced
you not guilty, and so say ]. 1t may not be proper
for me to express my sentiments yet nevertheless l
will do it. Young man, had been wronged
you have been would have spent every dollar
had on earth, and all that could have begged and
borrowed and then starved upon the track of the
william, but would have imbued my hands in his
blood. Go hence without delay. You are acquitted.

Usury Law.

The passage Of a usury law. by the pres.
ent legislature, seems to be very generally
demanded by public sentiment. judging from
the tone Of the press. How far the press
may reflect the public sentiment upon this
subject. we shall not undertake to say The
JMarysuiHe Erprew, q day or two since,
contained an able article in favor Of the
passage of such law, presenting some of
the best arguments we have noticed upon
that side of the question.
We can see no good aud sufficient reason
why interest should not rule as low 10
California as in other States, il we except
the single one of real estate security, arising
from the unsettled condition Of our land ii
ties. This objection. however, is rapidly
disappearing. and no lengthy period will
elapse before it will be entirely removed,
and such security rendered as safe as in
other States. That this would have tho cf.
feet to depreciate the rate of interest. in the
absence Of usuury law, can hardly be
doubted
In considering such measure, it should
be borne in mind that, in reducing the rate
Of interest to the standard Of other States,
the inducemcnt for capital to be retained 10
the State is materially lessened, and it nat
urally seeks other States, presenting Il more
stable security, and where the comforts and
luxuries of life may be obtained at figure
considerably less than in California. 1t
is the true policy of the State to retain as
great an amount Of capital as possible, and
the question arises-Will not q stringent
usury law drive capital away from US
BY the laws Of trade, it would naturally
be supposed that money should command q
lower rate Of interest here than elsewhere,
because 1t is gold producing country, and
where it is the easiest and soonest realized,
it should be the cheapest But whether it
is for the interest of the State, to force 1t
down by n usury law, or leave it to regulate
itself and establish its own worth, is the
question to be determined. While granting
the perfect right of the State to regulate the
rate interest, we have thought it bad policy
to do so in the present unsettled condition
of affairs.
