In connection with this occurrence, this Jury

provided by our local Government, and is rs

our citizens as any part of our police regula-

The storage of gunpowder in our cities Is pro-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

WIIMINGTON, NOV. H.
The money market seems easier this week
owing to the usury laws of Delaware it is diff
cult to quote Commercial Paper. Parties who
evade the laws and buy paper at their own
prices The repeal of the lisury laws is a matter
of policy; uniform unyarying rate of interest
can never be justly established. High and low
interest arc relative terms, what may be high at
one time would be low at another Our Loan
Associations sell their money at high premiums,
according to the demand, and yet individuals cam
not loan their money at higher rates than G per
cent. unless they evade the law. 1t is with Will
mngton like our great Western cities. Improve
ments are going on, the city is expanding, we
want capital, and in order to induce it to come,
we must offer higher rate of interest. No Leg
islators know what interest all men, under all
circumstances, can afford TO pay. The usury
laws of our State were enacted TO protect the
borrower In this they have failed. They are
in the interest of the dishonest altogether.
1t is worthy of notice that the currency balance
In the U. s. Treasury is smaller than 1t has been
for the last two years.
The Banks in the larger cities arc preparing for
the expected demand for currency to move the
Cotton crop.
Bank and Railroad stocks arc inactive. Dcla-
ware State and Railroad Bonds are dull The
offerings of the shares in the Loan Associations
| are limited.
The Delaware Fire Insurance. Company have
declared dividend of five per cent. for the past
| six months.
| The Directors of the National Bank of D,la-
ware have declared a dividend OF twelve dollars
| per share, being six per cent. for the last six
| months, payable ON and after the 18th inst. They
| have also declared an extra dividend of eight
| dollars per share payable at the same time

from the Sussex Argus.I
The Whipping Post,

The Fall terms of our courts remind us
that we still retain among our catalogue of
punishments for less gricyous crimes trace
of the ancient barbarisms. To us it seems
sad that this is true. Sad, first, because it is
q dcplorable relic of by-gonc and less en-
lightened days-days when matter predomi-
mated over mind; when brute was more
efficient than and superrr to moral force.
1t is sad, secondly, because the practice is n
standing libel upon our civil and religious
advancement Its bears too plainly SEM
blance Of the preservation of the dire days
of slavery, with all its hideous and diaboli-
cal atrocities.
True the commission of crime robs one of
his liberty, and places him under obligations
to justice; yet in the administration of JUS
tice let us have dignity commensurate with,
and indicative Of our conceptions of the
common requirements ofhumanity.
1t is sad, thirdly, because it is decidedly
incompatible with our republican laws and
institutions. Liberty and enlightenment have
hitherto gone hand in hand. As intelligence
has increased, mind has become more influ-
entail, caste has yielded to equality, barbar-
Iy TO humanity, universal rights to iyranni-
cal dictums. 1t seems not to have beel un-
natural for the uncivilized Carthagenians to
roll a Regulus down hill, within spiked
cask /; but that we of the present day and
advantages should continue similar barbara
ties is unpardonably astonishing
Is little Delaware-the foremost in the van
to pledge her life and honor to the cause of
freedom and humanity-is she to be the last
to relinqnish the cruel practices of barbarous
times and nations? May it not be. Let her
show the world how elevated are her notions
of justice, and yet how noble and humane
she may be in its administration. Let our
legislators provide punishments that will not
require man literally to lash his fellow
Though the practice may bear with it, the
sanction of law, still the tendency is PERM
cious. 1t is calculated to foster the pride
and assumed superiority of the officer. Be-
sides ii subjects the subject to species of
disgrace moro CALLING than many scvcrer and
more lasting punishments. 1t reduces him
to the level of the brute Instead of instill-
ing into his mind by example nobler conccp-
tions and requirements of his manhood, and
thereby elevating his better, his moral
nature, by justifying and nurturing his
malice, it sinks him still deeper into the
vortex of revenge.

THE SusQuEHANSA BRipeE.--Ihs great rail-
road bridge across the Susquchanna River at
Havre dc Grace is as most of our readers know,
composed Of II large number of heavy wooden
arches resting on the stone piers and supporting
the superstructure. For some time large force
of workmcn have been improving these arches
and adding still further to their strength By con-
Meeting their ends by heavy steel bolts running
the full length of each arch. This work has just
been finished and the bridge is pronounced
stronger than ever.
