USURY.

The Washington star notes the fact
that Maryland, though having an
ameliorated usury law to that inherited
from her by the District of Columbia,
finds the necessity for a more liberal law
to prevent her capital from seeking other
quarters for investment The Star adds:
at is impossible for that State as well
as this District to hope to compete with
more favored localities while the rate of
interest is restricted to six per cent.
While New York on one side, and all the
Southern States on the other, allow q
higher rate Of interest, with or without
contract, it is of course not practicable to
induce capital to come here for invest
ment; and what is more to our disad-
vantage, our own capital seeks more
profitable investment elsewhere. The
Baltimore papers are agitating for the
modification or relaxation of the Usury
laws of Maryland, and the factsthey bring
forward to show the injury sustained by
the business interests Of that State under
the present law are of precisely the same
character that our business have suffered
from"

SOUTHERN POsrMASTERs.

The case Of the United States VS.. Keeler
and others, decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States on the 18th will
doubtless prove interesting to many ante
6elLuD1 Southern postmasters. In this
case Keeler was postmaster at Salem, n.
c., on the breaking out Of the war, and
under the Confederate States authority
paid over to one Clemmens the moneys
of the United States in his possession, in
payment of claim due Clemmens from
the United States for postal serv-
ice, it being undisputed that the
Confederate authorities directed this
act as to all moneys in the hands of Post
masters belonging to the United States,
and that the Confederate Government had
sufficient power to enforce the law. The
question arose whether on his official bond
the principal and sureties were liable for
the sum so paid Clemmcns. On this ques-
ton the Court below were divided, and it
was certified to the Supreme Court for
answer. Mr.. Justice Miller delivered the
opinion of the Court, holding the defense
of irresistible force, compulsion, etc, re-
lied upon by the defendants, is not sound,
because such q consideration was not
within the condition of the bond, and that
the defendants are liable for the amount

THE REACTION BEGUN.

A Washington letter to the Baltimore
Gazette says:
l have taken some pains to ascertain
the status of members of the Senate and
House upon the question of further ag-
gressive measures by the Radical leaders,
and am able to state that the majority in
the House of Representatives and min
ority of considerable and increasing
strength in the Senate are disposed, at
last, to pause before taking another
step in the direction of civil re-
vOlutiOn. The negro has been set
at liberty. He has been accorded the
ballot (when millions of whites have been
disfranchised J he has been put in the
jury box; allowed to testify in courts in
cases civil and criminal, where whites
alone were concerned; the children of
his race have been provided, at the public
expense, with ample means of education,
and his equality enforced by law in all
public conYeyances, theaters, houses of
entertainment and public edifices; and,
finally, he has been lifted to the highest
positions in the executive
and legislative. CoTespondmgly the
whites have been degraded.

In the same number of the N. Y.
Times, which has the Knoxville letter
about the ''Outrages and Murders" in Mid
die and West Tennessee, we have two
articles illustrating New York Society.
In one, speaking of the attempted assas-
sination of Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton, citi-
zen of the highest responsibility, struck
down in Fifth Avenue close to his own
door steps, the Times says:
Cutpurses, burglars and hired assassins
have the greatest city in America at their
disposal. Night after night fresh victims
fall in the reckless butchery which the
practical suspension Of our laws has occa-
stoned If highwaymen do not set upon
the decent citizen he is liable TO have his
life taken by a scoundrel in the pay OF bis
enemies. How long is this numerous
work to go on9 tu
In the next article, the Times, speak
ing of the murder of Mr.. Voorhees, in
Brooklyn, says:
Brooklyn is following up New York
closely. The rein having been given
there also to all classes of rufhans, muir
ders, or attempted murders, are among
the commonest incidents of the day.
We have only to add; If Congressional
reconstruction would be good for Tennes-
see, we would like to see it also tried in
New York.

What Docs IEcason say

The little mongoose when bitten by a deadly SER
pent resorts to certain plant eats of IT, and es-
capes the effect of the poison. That is instinct.
Human beings on the other hand, must depend on
reason and experience in selecting the means of
protecting health and life against unwholesome
influences. Now, what does reason say on this vi
tai subject Does it not tell us that to invgoratv
and purify the system the best way to protect it
against the invisible poison which generates dis
ease? Surely it does. The next question is, what
guide shall we follow in choosing medicinal safe
guard? Reason replies let your monitor be expe-
rience. Well, the experience Of eighteen years
comprised in unbrOken series Of satsfactOrytes-
timonials assures us that Hostetters st omach Bit
tiers possess Strengthening, regulating and antsep-
tic properties which are not combined in the same
happy proportions in any other preparation extant
This, therefore, is the antidote to which reason
bids US resort when our health is imperiled eth
er by the malaria which produces epidemic disor-
ders, or by any other cause, whether inherent and
constitutional or connected with habits, occu-
patiOns and pursuits.
The venom of a noxious reptile is scarcely more
subtitle and dangerous than that which turks in
foul air and impure water. To escaDe the feyers
bilious disorders, disturbances of the bowels and
other serious maladies produced by these insalu-
bious clements, it is absolutely necessary that the
stomach and all the secretive organs should be,
to speak in robust condition. Upon the amount
of resistance which the vital system can oppose to
the deeteriOus influences that assai it, the safety
Of the health depends, and it is because the GREAT
VEGETABLE INvIGoRANT imparts energy and reg
uarity to the most important functions of the body
that it can be recommended and guaranteed as an
Invaluable preventive medicine.

The investigation on the 10th inst. into
the sale of cadetships, developed evidence
showing that Snewton Pettis, member
of the last House, from Pennsylvania,
sold his naval appointment for $500.
This is the third instance in which the
oflense has been conclusively proved, one
criminal CMr. Whitemore, of South Caro-
lima, } being a member of the present
House. The committee are working up a
number of other cases which promise
well, and the prospect is favorable for
several expulsions. The Ar1ay and
Nary Journal wants to turn over these
fellows to a drum head court-martial. 1t
says: @
"When the guilty Congressman are dis
covered, we propose that they beturned
over to Gen. Sherman and Admiral
Porter to be tried by drum-head court
martial. A season of reflection at the
Dry Tortugas would be of service to them
and to the State"

THE CUBAN QUESTION: CUBAN
LEAGUE,

The Cuban question was discussed in
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
on the 18th inst, but no conclusion was
reached, and the matter goes over for
another week. 1t is said the debate showed
a decided objection to Sherman's resolu-
ton, which practically accords belligeTent
rights to the insurgents, and some favor
was manifested toward Morton's bill, the
effect of which is to prevent any more in
direct aid to Spain, though objection was
found to some of its features. The Cuban
lobby is in Washington in force again,
and fatters itself that it now going to get
something from Congress.
A secret meeting was held in New York
on Saturday evening, the 18th inst,
when an organization TO be called the
"Cuban League of the United States, :"
was formed. Its purpose is TO give
practical consolidation to the sentiment of
American citizens and the moral support
of the same in securing to Cuba, by all
legal means, the inalicnable right of self
government. Among those present were
leading Republicans and Democrats. A
vigorous effort is being made in and out of
Congress to force the recognition Of Cuba,
as belligerent power, by our government.
tons looking to that end, with a view Of
forcing the administration to the point,
have been offered by prominent members
of the party in power. Gen. Logan de-
clared in the House that Grant sympa-
tihized with the Cuban revolutionists, and
nothing held him back from an open ex
preston Of it but the influence Of Secre-
tary Fish.

Mr.. DAWES has done well IN exposing
the corrupt estimates made by Grant
and the heads of departments for the
expenditures Of the Government for the
next fiscal year. lie, however, has not
done his whole duty. lie has asked that
the expenditures be not increased He
ought to have demanded that ,lcy be
largely cut down. Commissioner Wells
has estimated that the ordinary expenses
of the Government ought not 20 exceed
800, 600, 900 a year The entire cypcn-
ditures ought not TO exceed $4,000, coo
a year. VIII Mr.. Dawes make this fact

THE stockholders of the Memphis and
Little Rock Railroad held their annual
meeting at Hopefeld, Arkansas, on the
18th inst. The amount of stock repre-
scented was over seventeen thousand
shares. The election for Board of Di-
rectors for the ensuing year resulted in
the following choice: r. O. Brinkley,
Hon. A. Mcdonald (member of Congress
from Arkansas, Miles Owen, E. FL. Por-
ter and H. B. Edmundson. A series of
resolutions was adopted, ratifying the
elections held in Memphis from 1866 to
1868; also, all proceedings and actions of
boards during that time, against which OBJ
jections have been raised on account of
alleged informalities, growing out of
those elections being held in this State,
and not held on the day appointed by the
bylaws. This action puts an end to all
controversy between the two Boards, and
settles the difficulties which have so long
delayed the completion of that road.

The New York Times of the 4th has
letter from its Gown Correspondent "
dated Knoxville, Tenn, Tuesday, Feb.
s, 1870, treating OF the Legislature, the
Convention, sad various other matters.
This letter is made the text by the Times
of Philippe ON Tennessee Democracy. |"
The following is an extract from the let
ter to which we refer:
oUrRisEs AND MURDERS.
Middle and West Tennessee is overrun
with masked midnight robbers, who kill
defenceless, unarmed negroes and whites
who have the courage to denounce their
outrages or differ from them politically.
Almost within the sound of the Capitol
these disorders prevail to such an alarm
ing extent that the better men of that Sec
ton are discussing the propriety of or
ganizing vigilance committees. When
Republicans had control of the State
these disorders were said to grow out of
the proscripive measures they were
charged with enacting; but now, when
the franchise is as free in Middle Tennes-
see as in the repeating wards OF New
York city, these outrages increase and
multiply, and no sufficient efforts are
made to arrest them.
As matter of course what this cor
respondent has thus deliberately written,
he knew to be false. To add to the in
fanny of the falsehood, it is written to
affect the public sentiment of the North,
where the contradiction will never reach.
1t is doubtless intended to operate on pub
lie sentiment that can and will in turn
operate on Congress, and possibly procure
the territorializing of Tennessee. 1t is a
part and parcel of the Secret Circular
plot which we exposed few days since.
Why do not these ibellers, who deal in
such defamatory platitudcs point to some
act of discrimination because of political
opinion, race, color or previous condition
of servitudel If there have been any
such acts, either by the people, the Con-
vention or the Legislature, they can GER
tainly be pointed out.
In speaking of the Convention, this
correspondent says: "In this day of
progression and enlightenment, it was
hardly supposed that such body would
show an iIliberal, proscriptive spirit wor-
thy of the Mexican or Spaniard. Then,
after speaking of the proposed changes in
the Judiciary, he adds: "Such Legislation
as have referred to will soon encourage
and foster a spirit SO mean and unchris-
tian, that enterprise and capital viii be re-
PEELED from her borders" If such legis.
lation should have the effect of driving
from our borders ga spirit so mean and
unchristian" as to indite the letter to the
Times, it will have one lasting beneficial
result.
