LETTER FROM REV. HEBARD.

DENVER, COL,
July >, 1870.
Middletown transcript., 1870-04-02

THE INTEREST BILL.-The bill before
the Maryland Legislature, to increase the
rate of legal interest, wos defeated in the
House last week by vote 27 to SO. The
bill, while it continued the usual rate of
interest at six per cent. authorized as high
as ten per cent. to be charged, provided
an agreement to that effect be made in
writing The Baltimore Sun thinks that
the bill would have stood better chance
of success had it contained a provision
that for money lent on mortgage or other
real estate security not more than six per
cent shall be received. The opposition
was mainly from the country memberA
and such provision as the above would
have tended to molify them.

CosT OF CoNGREssMEN.-A full Senate
consists of seventy members, and
their united expenses, including compensa-
tion, mileage, officers, and " contingen-
cies," amount to $657 1858 or $S,9S2 for
each member. The House, when all the
States are fully represented, including the
delegates from the Territories, numbers
PSI members, whose expenses similar to
the above foot up 81 ,903, ,613, which gives
81 1884 to each. In both cases the amounts
are exclusive of the burdens entailed upon
the country by the franking abuse, the
printing of worthless documents, the inter-
est on the cost of the gorgeous edifce which
was built for the accommodation of Con-
gressmen, and various other items which
are "too numerous to MENTION as well as
some that do not expose themselves to the
vulgar gaze.

GOLD AND Business The trade is re-
covering from the paralysis brought on by
the decline in gold, and most of the large
houses are now quite busy. Plenty of
Southern buyers are on hand, and the
Western men begin to flock in pretty fast
There is not much likelihood of really
active spring trade, but it will probably
be better than was expected when the gold
crash came. Stewart and Claflin are turn
ing out an immense quantity of goods dai-
ly, but | doubt if they are muking money
There has been a great decline in prices
and most of the sales now made afford no
profit, while in many ses, as | am in,
formed by wholesale men, goods are sold
much below the prices at which they can
be replaced. This means, of course, that
when the new stock comes in prices will
be higher. Wall street is again compar-
atively quiet, the late whirlwind having
blown over, and the bulls and bears being
engaged in taking breath for another
scrimmage. The excitement during the
latter part of last week was quite as Bed
lamish and bewilderng as that witnessed
when gold was kiting above 200, but it
has subsidcd, temporarily at least, and a
stranger might go into Gold Room now
without imagining himself in lunatic
asylum. The specie payment spurt, star
ted some ten days ago by few enterpris-
ing saloon-keepers, is fast exhausting it
self and may not hold out much longer.
Fisk still keeps it going at his Opera
House-on rather a small scale though
and at some other places small silver is
still given out in change, but unless gold
falls to par, or near it this specie payment
movement won't last.-N. Y. Cor. Of the
Boston Post.

EXPENSES OF CONGRESS.

According to Mr.. Parton, or as near as
he can ascertain, the cost of session OF
Congress is full S., ZOO, 900, if not more
or taking the session at twenty days per
month, for six months, more than 1888,
600 per day. The chaplain's prayer,
which is about one minute long, consumes
$138 worth of time every morning. The
mere list of. contingent expenses of the
House fills volume of 22O pages with its
mass of charges: such as portcmonnaies,
more than 100 penknives at So each, ink
stands, pocketscissors, hair brushes, tobac-
co, cotton, staylaces, newspapers, and sta
tionery by the mountain. The bill of the
Sergeant-at-A Arms for conveying the corpse
of member from Washington to Easton,
Pa, was So, IA. 1t cost the nation $18,-
600 to publish in volume of 962 pages,
the addresses of coincidence called forth by
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln-scarce
ten pages Of it worth preserving. In 1864
joint resolution ordered that so, 900 CO.
pies of the 4" Army Register of Volun-
teers" be printed for sale, at cost, in eight
volumes. A little experience for the de-
mand of the work, however, led to re-
duction of the order to 1000 copies. Those
who have held the office of public printer,
are of the opinion that $500, 900 a year
are wasted at the public printing office.

mileage money as Henry Clay did in the
old days for six weeks horseback riding
