TsURY LAWs.--An effort has been
made in the Legislature to repeal al
usury laws, which we hope may be
successful. We think the price OF
money, like that of other articles,
should be regulated by the laws OF
supply and demand.
We do not suppose that a repeal OF
the usury laws would give us plenty OF
money, but it would facilitate planters
in obtaining supplies and advances on
the next crop, and put in circulation
money that is boarded up by those
who are unwilling to take the legal rate
of interest, or incur the penalty of
usury, by contracting at greater
rate.
The real trouble with us is, we have
nothing to give for money. When a
fair crop of cotton is made and sent
out, money will come in, and healthy
financial condition be maintained. But
we believe the repeal of the usury laws
will be of considerable advantage to
the State, and trust it may not be
overlooked by the present Leglsla-
ture.

The PRESS OF MIssIssIPPI.-We are
proud of the Journals Of our State,
and our State should be proud of
them-they are generally conducted
by ex-Confederates, and are, as a
mass, able, digniied and reliable.
Upon all questions of national policy,
they are a unit, and we cannot point
to the sheet in the commonwealth,
that has for one moment debated the
policy Or propriety, of endorsing the
Constitutional Amendment.
The press of Mississippi is 'loyal,'
as honest men and wise men, construe
loyalty--it upholds the President in
his reconstruction policy, without a
single dissenting voice. The press
Of Mississippi is proud ofthe soldiery
of Mississippi, and of the soldiery of
the South, and it is profuse in its praise
of those who did their duty in the late
war, and in condemnation of those
who were weighed in the balance and
found wanting"
Journals Of Mississippi are bold,
proud and defiant. Their conductors
are well aware that they are regarded
as the mouth pieces of the people, and
no word escapes them that can be con-
strued to the prejudice of the noble
State they represent. We have been
a close observer since our first connec-
ton with the press September, 1866,
and we cannot recall an expression or
an article that has appeared in the
editorial columns of any journal in
the State, since the surrender. that can
be construed to the prejudice or dis
honor of our State or section. Missis-
sippi should feel proud of her press, It
is worthy Of her love, however humble

The Southern Republican Associa-
ton in Washington, composed of
prominent Radical men from the late
rebellious States, has called a meeting
for Monday night, to take measures
to urge the fortieth Congress to inn
peach the President. At a meeting
held Thursday night, Ex-Governor
Hamilton, of Texas, presiding, it was
determined that che thirty-ninth Con-
gress would do nothing in that line, or
in legislating on, the reconstruction
question. In the debate Congress
was severely denounced for its failure
thus far to accomplish anything to-
ward restoration. 1t was maitained
that the impeachment of the Pres
idsnt was necessary to any early set
tlement of the reconstruction issue.

Medicus of the olden time, "and / will cure

In one sense, both Of these learned pundits
were the veriest charlatans. They knew
there was no place to rest their lever on, either
to move the world or cure disease. Mecha-
nism was in a backward state, and the medical
profession was but another name for sorcery,
and all the adjuncts Of magic filters, and
charms of the ES evil eye," &c.
But these latter days have borne unto us
something more than even superstition and its
crew ever dreampt Of in their maddest philoso-
ply. In these days of practical science, what
was theory of yesterday is fact to-day, and all
the old-time notions become as bubbles In the
sun, and burst and break with every breath
we draw.
Let Archimides shoulder his lever. and we
will find a resting place for it to move the
world. Let mine ancient Medicus pant and

REPUBLICAN TREAsoN.-The Cincin-
natl Commercial, loyal paper, is re-
sponsible for the following: Senator
Fessenden has uttered reasonable
remark He said, the other day, in
the Senate house itself, that though he
had great respect for the manufacture
ers of the country, he would tell the
Senate now that from the testimony
before the committee, from all he and
that committee knew, it would not do
to leave the formation of the tariff to
the manufactures 1t is surprising
that Mr.. Sprague, of Rhode Island
who has been-s so impoverished by the
investment of his capital in manu-
featuring, that he is not worth more
than seven or eight millions of dol
lars, did not rise in his place and re-
buke Mr.. Fessenden.
