BnoDEprcK MoNvurYr,-Tbe following

DhoDERlCK MoNUMENT.-Ihe following
views of the S. F. Telegram are sound:
1t Is with exceeding regret that we notice
an attempt on the part off cotemporary jour
nal, to make the erection of monument to
Mr. Broderick solely work for partisans.-
w regret this, for the reason that Mr.. Brod-
erlek belonged to no party AS Senator,
he was the representative of the people; his
public acts were for the good of the people
not for the especial benefit of party Espe-
cially we condemn the spirit manifested by
the organ of party with which Mr.. Broder-
ick, during his life, did not affiliate, and with
which, as distinctive political party, he had
no sympathy To be sure, Mr.. Broderick
did entertain some views in common with
the Republicans, but it is also true that many
Republicans contended that he was the great
est enemy their cause he'd to encounter. Now
that Mr. Broderick is dead and in his grave and
that his admirers and friends, those who an
plauded his public course for its tendency to
good for the State wish to erect monument
to perpetuate his memory it is the height of
bad taste for the organ of the smallest politi-
cal party in the State to come forward and
assert that the erection of the monument must
be the work of the members of its party or
the work will not be completed Nothing
can do more to retard the progress of the
work and to prejudice the memory of Mr..
Brodericb, than the indscreet course pursued
by the Times. That paper does injustice to
MIR. Broderick, and to his thousands Of admi-
rers outside the Republican organization
We trust, however, that the injustice of which
we complain will not retard the exertion OF
those who, to exhibit their admiration of the
man and their disapprobation OF the mode OF
| his death, seek to erect a monument TO his
memory which shall be an honor to them
and do credit to the character of the man
whose memory is sought to be perpetuated.
The WALKER RIVER D1eGlNs.-A letter
from Carson Valley, describing visit to
what are called the Walker river diggings,

for the stream upon which they are located

source of Walker river, and as far as | de-

IA parallel line with that stream, with which
in my opinion, it has no confluence If so, it

found the old diggings deserted except
that few industrious Johns" were delving
away and making according to their own
account-"Sometime one dollar sometime
two dollar sometime no no ketchim" But
the truth is, that these claims pay from three
TO five dollars per day to the hand, as | wns
informed by a number of men who had work
ed them from their first discovery until the
Mono Lake diggings were found.

Did you no, flood this State with money in

no. Fer three years these poor, blind follow
ers have paid you annually 25 to 30 per cent
usury out of their substance, and now you
pounce upon them, and take their Whole estate
for the cum loaned. Under such state of
facts does not public policy demand. and ought
not public opinion to cooperate IN demanding,
the plea Of usury for the protection Of the cit
izen? Can it be viewed IN any other light by
those who reason from the high standpoint Of
public good. instead Of The selfish position Of
reasoning from the pockets Of Shylocka
We do not think that the public good de-
mands the plea of usury for the protection Of
the citizens. Our reason for thinking 20 we
have already stated. We hold that . contract
made in good faith should be rigidly adhered
to. and no advantage should be taken Of Lar
which wrongs one party, while it does not mate
rally benefit the other. We think our usury
laws a curse, and we shall advocate their total
repeal by our legislature. The parliament of
Great Britain has, within the past IL month.,
repealed all the usury laws heretofore in force
in that Kingdom, and English writers ate al
most unanimous in their approval Of this act,
as 1t has already materially lowered the rate of
interest, and money can be obtained with much
greater ease than before.
We do not wish to be understood AZ
apologizing for lsurers, for We think they are
the ruin Of our country; but we do cay, that
if they have lent citizen money at higher
rate Of interest than is lawful that citizen is at
fault, as much as the usurer; and he should
fulfil his contract without finching. Do
way with the usury laws, and We will soon
have plenty of money at cheap rate of inter
