On the Equalization OF BOunties to
Soldiers.
The whole history of the events of the war
are too wildly impressed upon our readers to
need any repetition here. They all remember
how five years ago the sound OF rebellion first
broke upon the supine Indifference which had
bound the North for thirty years. How the
spell was broken, not as in the fairy stories, by
the arrival of hero, bat by the sound OF an
enemy's gun. 1t was in the spring of 1851
that the purest patriotism Of our people was
aroused. 1t was when all looked dark after
Bulls Run, after Bethel, after Fredericksburg
after Antietam, that those who were true
lovers of our land showed their devotion by
their enlistment. The heart OF the whole
nation beat high then, and the question was
not who could be induced but who could be
restrained from enlsting There was no
money ofered-theTe was no promotion pro-
missed there was no stated term of "sixty
days and the Rebellion will be over" said to
them. They went into the strife with their
lives in their hands. They Joined the ranks
for three years or the war. They fought

THE USURY LAWS,
l.. Nj. GRIST,
Yorkvllle, s. C.

Public sentiment in this State has long
been opposed to any changes in the rate OF
interest on money, as established by law.
Whether this sentiment was originally we'll.
founded or not, it is not material to decide ;
but in the present financial condition of the
country, there is no longer doubt, but
that all impediments to an influx of capital
should bv removed, by allowing money to
hire at its value. The Legislature has had
this matter under consideration, and by a
large vote, agreed to remove the restrictions
heretofore imposed, as to the rate of interest.
The following is the bill adopted for the
repeal of the Usury Laws:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives, now met and sitting in
General Assembly, and BY the authority of
the same, That from and after the passage
of this Act, in all cases of contract for the
hiring, lending or use of money wherein,
by the terms of tie original contract, no
specific rate of interest shall have been agreed
upon in writing, signed by the party to be
charged Herewith, the legal interest shall
be and remain at the rate of seven per
centum per annum.
SEC g. That in Ill money DEGREES and
judgments of Courts of Law and Equity
hereafter enrolled o, entered, in all cases
of accounts hereafter stated, and in all
cases wherein any nm or sums of money
shall hereafter be ,scertained, and being
due, shall draw interest according to law,
the legal interest sh,l! be and remain at the
rate of seven per ceItum per annum.
Sec. 8. That all Acts aud parts of Acts
limiting the rate q interest recoverable
upon contracts for be hiring, lending or
use of money, be aid the same is hereby
repealed.
