Usury Laws

After two or three years experience OF
the operation of the ten per cent. interest
law, il Ohio, the Legislature is discussing
a law to restore the old rate of six per cent
The Senate has passed the bill, and it is
thought the House will concur in it. This
action on the part of the large commercial
State of Ohio is rather discouraging to the
advocates of higher rate OF interest in
this State. The ten percent. bill before our
Legislature meets with strenuous opposition,
though it is thought it will pass. Many OF
the papers have taken up the cudgels against
a higher legal rate of interest. The In
dianapolis Citizen opposes it and in the ar
gument overthrows its own logic by the
following statements:
There is one measure that the masses are
DESTROYS of seeing enacted, and that is, some
means of etfectually prohibiting bankers,
brokers and outside money lenders from
taking more than six per cent Without
such provision, our six per cent. law is an
imposition on the law abiding portion OF
community, who, when the law says, "take
no more than six per cent" obey to the
letter. The professional money lender,
however, laughs at such provision, and
never thinks of charging and receiving les:
than ten per cent, and most generally
twelve and fifteen, directly or Indirectly
We have known us high as two and q hal
per cent. ii month to be eXacted, and hav,
heard of rates here, within two years, a

The State Sentinel says "the Trustees of
the Indiana University held special session
on Thursday last, to take action upon the
rendered resignation of DR.. Daily, as Presi-
dent. The charges against DR.. Daily, af-
fecting his moral character, were not inves-
tigated or considered by the Trustees, as
they had not been brought to their notice
officially, and he is now undergoing an &c
clesiasticaI trial for the alledged moral de-
linquencies. DR.. Daily honorobly and
properly insisted the Trustees should accept
his resignation, as he did mot desire the in
stitution should be identified GA in anywise
effected by his personal difficulties. Upon
these grounds, and without intending d.
rectly or indirectly to pass judgment upon
the charges against DR.. Daily, the Trustees
accepted the resignation, and elected Prof
Wiley, Senior Professor, to take charge OF
the Institution temporarily, until Presi-
dent should be elected to fill the place"
1t is reported that Dr. Daily proposes te
enter upon the practice of law as his future
profession we most sincerely wish him
success in his new career. for which he is
better fitted than for the pulpit.

Rky~ In the numerous saving banks in
the State of New York, there are laIge
numbers of deposits that have been I'M
claimed for many years. The sums now
amount to several millions. The Legisla-
ture proposes to take these unclaimed de-
posts, with their years of accumulation,
and use them for the completion of the
canals and other public works. In other
words, to seize upon money which belongs
to some one else for the benefit of set OF

THE ALLEN MAY CLAIM. The Terre
Haute journal says it ill becomes the Re-
publicans to complain of the loss to the State
Treasury of the May and Bright debt, as the
loan was made by their State Treasurer, Mr..
Nofsinger, who is, if any one, the party
guilty of imprudence, neglect, or corruption.
1t says the Attorney General, to its knowl-
edge, has made every effort to obtain the
amount without a resort to the courts, and
has not done this because nothing can be
made out of the parties by law.

THE U. S. LoAN.-The bids for the ten
millions government loan have been opened,
and the offers show that the government is
still in good credit. The stock will be re-
imbursable on the lst of january, 1875, and
bears interest at FIVE per cent, payable semi
annually. Bids were received from fifty
four different parties, amounting in the ag-
gregate to over thirty-one millions, at rates
varying from one quarter per cent to five
per cent premium. Upwards of six millions
were awarded to those who offered more
than II per cent, and the remainder to lower
bidders. Riggs s Co, of Washington, bid for
the Bank of Commerce, at New York, and
Duncan, Sherman Il Co., to the amount Of
FIVE millions, at from J to I per cent
Sweeney, Rittenhouse & FAINT, of Washing
ton, get three millions at 2 $1,000.

INCREASE OF PosTAGE.-0pposition to the

country has direct personal concern. The
benefits conferred by it promote the moral,
intellectual, and social progress of all classes
of the people. Its blessing are of the most
durable and precious character, and are uni

nearly free as possible. 1t We're better to

high as thirteen per cent. per annum. One
and a half per cent month is a common
matterl What do the representatives of ag-
ricultural constituences-usedt to living up
to the law of "value received think of
such extortion as that?
Our present interest law plays right into
the hands of the professional,moneyle lenders.
They want no better trick.n 1t just suits
them. But make provision for their ex-
enplary punishment if they take, directly
or indirectly, more than six per cent. and
their gouging business will be destroyed,
and the industrious and worthy farmer and
mechanic be saved from their clutches.
Why, even the Bank of the State of In
diana, whose charter prohibits it from TAX
ing more than legal interest (six per eentum
per annum), systematically violates the law
and its charter. Instances occur every day
at its counters.
By all means the General Assembly ought
| to put stop to this kind of drain on the
industry of the country. The laboring men
have suffered these outrages long enough,
and now demand some relief.
Suppose the money lenders stop this aw-
full "drain upon the industry of the eoun-
try" by taking away their money and re-
fusing to loan at all at six per cent? What
will suffering industry" do then? Can it
move an arm without money more than it
can breathe without air? Can you compel
men to loan at six per cent when they can
| get II? The law don't make the rate of
interest; its only purpose is to recognize and
| sanction an inevitable fixed fact
