BG- Whatever might be said Of the
politics of Massachusetts, her financial
wisdom is worthy Of commentator and
emulation. She has repealed her usury
laws, and thus given freedom to capital,
measure which is creditable to the
judgment Of her Legislators, as it is just
to capital and advantageous to those who
need its use.

SENATOR WILSON AT RICHMOND. Senator
Wilson last night, in speech before the Rad
cal caucus, said that he favored extending the
franchise in the Southern States rather than
curtailing it, He said he had come from
Washington to see something ofthe Conserva-
tive Convention here, but found, after all the
talk about Republican secret leagues that this
convention was not open to him. The Con
yentiou only admits citizens who have tickets,
and, it appears, Senator Wilson had not got
ten one. He said that not over fifty thousand
persons were dstranchised in the South and
it was idle cIamor to say that this disfranchise
ment effected the putting of the South under
the rule of the blacks He predicted that sew
en- of the Southern States would be in the
Union By the 4th of July, with Republican
constitutions Congress, he said, intended to
stand firm, and the present generation would
be gray before the reconstruction acts were
revoked ..'.
