Eight Per Cent.

We are of opinion the Legislature
made a blunder when that body pass
ed the eight per cent interest law.
We do not concur in opinion with
those who think high rates of interest
will make money plenty and times
easy.
The only ~redeeming feature in the
law is, the rate of eight per cent is to
fixed by special contract between the
parties and heavy penalties for tax
ing a greater rate are imposed.
The law will take effect in October
next; and w regret the time fixed,
had not been 1869 instead of 1869.
There cannot be a greater fallacy,
than the one originating this bill. Its
advocates based its necessity upon the
theory, that the six per cent. law was
wholly disregarded and hence, de-
clared we should legalize an eight per
cent. rate; which money lenders would
regard!
That is, men will steal, therefore,
it is important they shall have an en-
abling act.
If men disregard the laws, and vio-
late their injunctions, infict their pen
alties; otherwise you might as well
abolish all law.
There is no legitimate business that
will warrant a greater rate than six
per cent. To legalize a greater rate,
is to encourage men to enter into des-
perate speculations to meet their OBJ
legations; and ruin will sooner or later
overtake them.

Municipal Corporation Bill.

We trust the Legislature VIII pass
the Municipal Corporation Bill, be-
fore that body adjourns. Our corpo-
ration laws in great confusion, and
certainly need to be carefully conided.
They are distributed through statutes
covering a period OF over sixty years
They have been patched, modified
and amended, till it requires a skillful
attorney to ascertain, with certainty,
what party are in force, and what OBJ
solete. Mr.. Scribner, the talented
Senator from the Knox district, has
been codifying these laws for the last
six or eight months; and has framed
a code embodying all the acts deemed
essential, and worthy of preservation.
His bill passed the Senate some weeks
since, and contains about seven humid
red sections. The bill is now pending
in the House, and should be passed
before adjournment.

of patriotism in one case in the other.
Those who bought the fve-twenties
knew that-a secretary~of the treasury
or an advertising agent had no authors
ty to change the terms of an agree
ment between the government and the
purchasers of its bonds,
We are told that the expectation of
those buying the five, twenties was
that they would be paid in coin.
There was no reason for any such ex-
%pectation, aside from the hope that
corrupt management might wiring from
the government twice as much as 1t
was bound in law or honor to pay.
The bonds themselves say they are
payable in currency. 1t is not true,
however, that the men who bought
the five-twenty bonds expected they
would be paid in gold. They may
have had a hope of this kind, but they
bought the bonds knowing that the in
terest on them in gold made them a
good investment. To shave paper at
so Per cent, and get interest on it in
coin at six per cent, makes an invest
ment which pays twelve per cen in
gold.
1t is nonsense to keep gold lying
idle IN the treasury: The proper en-
ployment for it is the one we have
pointed out, but Secretary Boutwelli is
forbidden to so employ it by Shenck's
public credit bill. 1t is better that he
should buy bonds and pay their face
in coin, than hoard money. The peo-
pie are not gratisfied in learning that
gold is accumulating in the treasury.
They don't want it there. They want
the debt reduced, and the burden of
taxation lessened,- Chicago Times.

The Gold in the Treasury.

Thele are now more than 100000
900 of gold in the national treasury,
and the receipts from customs the
current fiscal year promise to be cor
siderably larger than they were last
year. After making the semi-annual
payments for interest, it is estimated
that there will be left more than $780,
900, 600 in the treasury.
Were this to be converted into cur
rency, and the money employed to re-
deem fve-twenty bonds, it would make
a reduction of about $107, 00O, 600 in
the national debt /; but Secretary Bout.
well is not in favor Of any such po-
Icy.
The supreme court of the United
States in its late decision in the
Texas bond case, declared upon a
point which is exactly analogous to
that which the bondholders and their
advocates raise concerning the effects
of statements made by successive sec
retaries of the treasury, and Jay Cook
& Co., in regard to payment of the
five twenty bonds in coin. A rebel
legislator had undertaken to authorize
the Endorsement of bonds due Texas
from the United States so as to make
them negotiable. After the return of
a the governor ofTexas held that
bonds Endorsed by that authority were
valid and woul-be paid, and, on the
strength of this opinion, they were
bought and sold. The court held that
the governor had no authority in the
premises, and that the rights of the
people of tie state could not be for
teited because he had taken a wrong
view of the law, and spectators had
been credulous enough, or professed
to be credulous enough, to suppose
that this opinion or pledges in the
matter were binding upon the state,
whether regard be had to coed faith
or the strict letter of the law.
The spectators in those bonds knew
this just as well before the court de
livered the opinion as they did after
the decision was made. They hoped
to force the payment of the bonds by
clamoring about good faith and the
public credit, as the holders of five
twenty bonds now clamor about the
promises of Secretaries Fessenden
and McCulloch, AID of Jay Cook &
Co. The Texas bonds were bought by
spectators and money was paid on
them when the state was greatly in
need of funds. The five-twenty bonds
were bought by spectators when the
government was in ore distress, and

A Married Lady Disguised With Life,

shopping in the forenoon of Tuesday,
and while out procured to ounce of

living in the same house, fortunately
had occasion to go to her soon
after and observing something. singu-

was nearly unconscious, but powerful

Robbery.

Between three and four O'Clock YES
terday afternoon, as German named
Sallie Hartman, of middle age, was in
the act of purchasing a load of hay in
Sixth street Market space, she had
her pocket picked of q package of
money containing $500. When she
arrived upon the spot from third
street, where she went &c get her check
of five hundred dollars cashed, she
was confident she had the money in
her pocket, but after walking around
the lead to examine it-upon conclu-
d;.n tn purchase she felt for her mon
ey, which was in the right-ha22d peck
ct of her dress, what was her horror
to find it had gone in those few min
utes. There were several people stand
ing around, but she knows not whom
10 suspect. Among the money there
was one 800 note; the rest was in Dos
and los. Mrs Hartman and her
husband live upon the ''plank road"
where they have a small place and are
engaged in keeping cattle for drovers,
and the above 500 was the proceeds
of the past winter and spring. In
lodging her information with Lieu
tenant Sindinger, at the Ninth street
station house Immediately after the
money was stolen, the poor woman
wept so bitterly that we thought her
heart would break TO lose such Il sum,
their little all perhaps, at Zone fell
swoop'-it was to much for her to
endure. Lieutenant ,Sindlinger put
the matter in the hands OF Court Of
ticcrs Bayliss and Archey, who paid q
visit to the National Saloon in the
immediate vicinity of where the rob-
berry took place, but they made no ar
rests.-ERq.

of Mexico, yesterday brought impor-
tant dispatches from Minister Rose

to their contents. They were deliver
ed to President Grant to-day, ard by
him transferred to the Secretary ofState.
Although their precise terms hare not
yet officially transpired, it is stated in
usually well-informed circles that
General Rosecrans, who CONTRARY to
former rumors, is on pleasant and
friendly terms with the Mexican Gov
eminent, has communicated to our
own Government his views of the con-
dition of that country, showing the
dangers to which it is constantly ex-
posed from domestic disturbance, and
peculiarly embarrassments which
preventits national and social improve
ment. He makes various suggestions
and recommends the immediate action
of the Government in affording to
American citizens such guarantees of
protection as will encourage them to
wall themselves Of the opportunity to
secure important material interests to
he United States, and at the same
lime benefit the Republic of Mexico.

Needed Reforms.

The approaching campaign will be
one of the most important in the his
tory of the country. Under the cir
cumstances, it will require the people
to take a holder and more resolute
'stand against the iniquities of the par
ty in power. They should demand
from those who advocate Democratic
principles, more frankness and indie
pendence, and more outspoken and
courageous opposition to the detesti-
BILE acts of the republican leaders, in
and out of Congress.
We regard the struggle to reform
the government, State and National,
and to crush out the tyranny that af-
ficts the land, as being worthy the
profoundest attention of every Amer
can citizen. There can be no COM
promise with the misrule that is now
pressing the people, with rapid strides
towards poverty and ruin.
We want a courage that covers at
no danger. and that falters lot at the
frowns and SCOTS of those in power.
We want Statesmen, who can confront
the bold, bad men, now misgnverning
the country and the battle with usur-
patton, fiscal rottenness and tyranny
will be brief.
We have to deal with a revolution
airy and aggressive party, intent on
nothing but absolute power, and Who'll
ly Inscriptions a. to the means of
obtaining supreme command over the
fortunes of a too confding people. To
obtain this control over public affairs
that parry has kept the Southern
States, for four years out of the I'm
ion, under the Government of satraps
and local tyrants.
That party has instituted a system
of taxation. and bond exemption that
will sooner or later, if successfully
carried out, begger the laboring, mil
lions of this country, and create an
aristocracy of bond holders, railroad
kings and lordly owners of the soil.
1t has foisted upon the people an
army of officers to eat up the revenue,
