OUR MAGNETIC RELATIONS Whatever the es-
sence of the occult substance, called magnetism,
may be, it certainly is possessed Of vast varied and
intricate power. Although rarely considered, and
by multitudes not even known to exist, 1t is yet
present all around US and within us.
The magnetism of the earth, a DEMONSTRATING
and recuperative agent, ought to be well known.

So CAUTIOUS A JOURNAL as the Baltimore
San cannot refrain from presenting serious
ly the necessity of increasing the legal rate
of interest to seven per cent. 1t argues, as
we have already done, with respect to our
case, thus;
"The necessity of some modification or
relaxation of the usury laws in Maryland is
demonstrated from day to day. 1t is urged
by many of the most sagacious and hest-in-
formed in such matters in our midst that
money will have to be allowed to earn here,
without the risk of penalties tor usury,
equally as much as 1t does In the great State
of New York-that is, seven per cent.--ii
our community would even keep its own
capital at home, to say nothing of attracting
from abroad other capital for investment in
loans, banking, &c. As our city becomes
more and more the mart for profitable South
ern products, yielding balances to the pro-
Queer, it is only by the inducement OF Afford
| ing satisfactory rate of interest for the em-
| ployment Of those balances here that we
will be able to prevent their being Withdrawn
or sent North, where higher rates are al
lowed by law"
| This is all true. Money goes for invest
ment, where itcan safely earn the best interest,
and seven per cent. is now about the average
of good investments all over the country. i
we don't pay that, we simply don't get the
money, and have to go about, growing ovel

WE REFRAIN from the severe structures
which the outlawry and attempted lynching
of school teacher, in Queen Anne's County,
deserve, for the reason that our reports
thence assure us of prompt reyulsion in
public sentiment, and that the outrage meets
the emphatic condemnation of the better
class of people. We believe it is true, also,
that the mob was largely composed of young
men and boys, who thoughtlessly entered
into the affair, more with purpose Of
mischief, than because of any bitter or violent
feelings toward either their intended victim,
or the work in which he was engaged. But
while comment may be tempered, two things
remain to be plainly and decidedly said
First, the colored school at Crumpton should
be at once re-establisned Second, it and
its teacher must be protected. The time for
lynch law upon school teachers is gone by,
and outlaws must be made to understand the
fact. In this instance, they stepped only te
the verge of outrage, but it IS far enough
The colored people of Queen Annc's are NJ

DISTINGUISHED citizens. They not only hay,
rights, but the means of enjoying and de
Tending them. We recommend them t
peacefully, but resolutely, secure a teache
for their school, ask the cooperation of tn
respectable citizens of Crumpton, and pursu

has gone by when any set of men dar
seriously interfere with them, if they will

A Postmaster down the State writes us TO
send the DELAWARE TRIBUNE to Mr.. A., and
to his letter adds that "Mr A. likes the TEI
''BuNE, although he is strong Democrat.
"But he thinks that the negro question is
snow played out, and that Democrats will
''solicit the negro vote, as well as the Re-
''publicans."
No doubt, Mr.. A. is right, yet the organ
which presumes to speak for his party, in
Kent county, and that which is recognized
as an organ in New Castle county, and the
advertising sheet which sometimes makes its
appearance in Sussex, have all positively
and plainly declared that they did not want
the colored vote. The DetaWarean has
been especially abusive, and its recent ex-
pressions are enough 10 prevent, for somt

ONE OF THE MOST GRATIFYING, as well as
most conclusive, indications of the contin-
ued prosperity and thrift of the freed people
in the South, is their increase Of deposits in
the Freedmen's Savings Bank, lat Washington
and its various branches. The report of the
institution, for January, shows that the de-
posits during the month amounted to $54l,-
459. The entire sum on deposits amounts
to 81, 1866, 1858, invested principally ia Gov
eminent bonds. The assets of the Savings
Bank in bonds and in real estate amount to
$l,6l4,796. Since the establishment of the
bank nearly $l2 1000, 900 have been deposit
ted. Applications for the establishment of
additional branches at various parts of the
South have been presented to the Trustees.
The increase of deposits during the past
year amounts to 100000.
