Last week the Ohio Legislature passed a law
permitting contracts to be made to pay eight per
cent interest for the use of money. Some mem
bers voted against this measure. A proposition
was made at one stage of the proceedings 10
allow free trade in money; but this was Voteu
down. believe Mr.. DUNCAN voted aSallstirec
trade In monry, aud also against the eight Icr
cent law.
have read many Of the arguments made
against free trade in money, but must say that
am not COW iuced. The principal argument
is that the rich win oppress the poor by demand-
inp asurious interest The trouble about the
ma liter is, that you cannot compel those who
have money to loan 1t at six, or even eight per
cent. would Osk Mr.. DUNCAN, or Mr.. Leete,
where mol can now borrow a dollar at six per
cent or at eight If they will tell me where
money can be had at that interest, Twill engage
to get them customers who will take ten thou
sand dollars, and give just as good security as
will be asked, either personal, or mortgage on
real estate. These statesmen ought to know
that money Is now worth, In Ohio, from ten to
twelve per cent.
But men cannot make anything in business,
and pay ten per cent for money. That is theiI
business. Not much can be made by the labor.
ing man when he has to pay from ten to fifteen
dollars barrel for -four, from fifteen to twenty
five cents per pound for meat and thirty cent;
per pound for coffee Now If the argument Il
good as to money It is far stronger as to the
absolute nccessar les of life. Men can live with
out money; but they can scarcely live wlthou
bread, meat coffee &c. Why not-pass law
that no man shall charge more than five dollar
per barrel for -four, ten cents per pound fo
meat, &c.
This law. apd6 II similar ones, only has ten
dency to>dflve money from our State to place
whore legislators possess some practical common
sense Those who have money to loan vii
always get the worth Of 1t for its use. If the.
are not permitted to do so in Ohio, there ar
other places where they can do so. d. NJ.

1t was very natural that the preaching of such
doctrine as Mormohlsm should stir up the Or
tlodox demon Mutations. But MormOnlsm In
those days did not possess many of Its abho trent
features of the present day. True, Its pretense
Of mira cles, talking In unknown tongues &C.,
we're silly; but then polygamy was unknown,
and the Mormons were not the exclusive people,
and enemies of the United States Government,
they have been since that time.
cannot blame tie Mormons for hating the
people of this tcounty. The constitution of the
United States guarantees free religious opinions,
and tolerates all creeds; yet the Government has
always permitted mobs to control opinions, and
and thus render our country the least free In this
respect, of any country In the world making
any pretenslon of being civilized. The destruc-
tion of Nauvoo, and the murder of Jo. Smith,
IN the summer of 1874, was one of the most cow
ardly acts Of the despotlsm of the mob, that was
ever known. 1t was, and still Is, burning dis
grace to this pretended free country.
Mormonlsm was not met by the mob in our
country, but the preachers Of oil the other de-
nominations were Vigilant in attacking this new
doctrine. There was man named Borgess. who
came into the nelghborhood soon after the Nor
mons came and he made opposition to Mormon
ism his speciality. lie preached around at differ
ent places, during several months, and the bur
den of his dlscourses was denuncIation of the
Book of Mormon.
The two Mormon preachers, Snow and + lsh-
er, after they left this county, became quite en-
nent men in the new church, and believe they
went to the new home Of the Saints, Deseret, or
Utah. After Snow and Fisher left, do not
think any Mormon ever preached in the county,
and no organization of the new denomlnat on
was kept up. believe the Suckers, and per-
haps some others, followed the Mormons to
NauvOo.

CALlroRHIA, O., AprlI q, 1S6S.

CALIFORNIA, o., April "a 1868.
Mr.. MAcKLEr I'll am very much delighted 10
learn that you favor better roads in jackson
county and that you intend TO keep this before
the people until an Improvement is effected.
As you desired to hear from different citizens In
the county rs to where to begin, submit my
opinion as to a favorable route for a turnpike.
Scioto county is erecting turnpike from Ports
mouth, through Sciotoville and Harrlsonville,
10 the county line In Madison township, which
is within short distance of California, Pike
county. The citizens Of California and vicinity
are petitioning the Commission erS Of Pike coun,
~ forRn extension of the road through the south
eastern part of their county to the county line
of jackson. Undoubtedly jackson county
should continue the road TO jackson. The route
Is q very favorable one, extending by Crabtree
stand, striking the Jackson and Piketon road
east Of Beavertown, and follow that to Jackson,
the route is a favorable one, being a long level
country, with no large watercourses to bridge,
the cost Of erecting one would be small while
Its advantages would be numerous. 1t would
pass through rich tract of farming land and
greatly facilitate their access to market. Jeok-
son would receive alarge amount Of marketing
that otherwise would 60 to Portsmouth. Part
Of Jackson county is lhtersected by Railroad,
and access to market made easy, and its benefits
are plainly seen in the advancement in real es-
tate along the road, whlle the farmers along this
route are neglected. Should such q road be
built the real estate bordering Il would advance
at more r1pid-rate than ever known hereto
fore. The citizens Of Liberty and sclOto town
ships haVea claim on the county for such q
road. OBSERVER.
