|. Nix. EDITOR: I saw to-day for the first
time, December 27,) the note of Mr.. W.
d. Wilkes, in your issue of the 18th
inst. feel assured this effort of Mr..
Wilkes is the evidence of his determi-
nation to do what he conscientiously
thinks will benefit the whole State. He
is certainly wise in asking for an ex-
preston of opinion from the public on
this important subject. Practical OBJ
servation convinces me the existing law
shonld be repealed. There is no neccs-
sity to theorize about this matter, or
reason upon it. The only question is,
has tho repeal of the old usury laws OF
South Carolina benefited the State?
In 1866, tho Legislature of South
Carolina battled this subject ably, and
the impetus of our commercial men
conld not be resisted. Money was con-
sldcred worth its market value, and
nothing could resist the power of monied
men to change that old law, which said
money shall have its stated and fixed
price.
Well, the law was repealed. and capi-

figures, as they chose, and consequently

the repeal of the usury laws than it was
Immediately after the war. Where, then,
has the State been benefited?
United States cnr, ency is not moro n
medium of exchange than any article of
produce. Labor is now estimated by
the quantity of products. 1t is pro-
posed to exchange cotton for fertilizers,
and wisely, too. A bushel of wheat in
worth so much labor, &c. Not much
currency ahont. Then the existing law
has benefited the State about as much
as did the $4,000 appropriation which
u 4, few agents spent, policing around
Berlin and other European cities, in-
quiring if Germany would not send
some of her surplus labor to South Caro-.
lima.
Mr. Editor. I feel that the existing
law is an injdry to tho agricultural in
terests of the country, and it would be
better for us to live like Diogenes and
be independent, than cxpend our brain
ana muscle entirely for tho benefit of
the monetary institutions of the State.

A CURIOUS FACT-The New Bedford
Standard, in referring to the reports of
the Whaling feet, taken from Sandwich
Island papers, gives the following singu-
lar incident:
Whaleship Cornelius Rowland, Capt.
Homan, of this port, arrived at Honolu-
iu. Novembe %. Capt Homan and his
mate, Mr.. Potter, report that they took
polar whale off Point Barrow, with the
head Of harpoon marked ga. g." i'm
bedded in the blubber, and the wound
had healed over. This hnrpoon is sup
posed to belong to the bark Ansel Gibbs,
OF this port. which has been engaged in
the whale fishery at Cumberland Inlet,
In Davis Strait, for ten or eleven years
past. We have heard before of instances
where whales have been caught ut Cum
berland Inlet, with hnrpoons in them,
with which they have been struck in the
Arctic Ocean, but we believe this is the
first authenticated instance of whale
having been caught in the Arctic Ocean
with harpoon in it from the Davis
Strait side. This corroborates the view
Of those who maintain that there must
sometimes, ut least, be open water in til
Polar Sea connecting the Atlantic with
the Phciiic Oceans, and is an instance
worthy Of careful record. The hnrpoon
Is now on board the Cornelius Howlnud.

A gentleman in London recently re-.
sisted the payment 81 bill for goods
which his wife had purchased without
his authority. He resisted payment
chiefly on tho ground that the articles
thus purchased we're luxnries, bot within
the ordinary scope Of the duties of wife,
and not necessary to her station in life.
Among these were gold pen oil case. a
guitar and double scent bottle. The
Judge before whom the shop-keepers
brought suit for payment, decided the
articles named to be unnecessary. In
his mind. they we're useless luxuries to
the woman who had contracted for their
purchase. He gave it as his fiat that
"the law is not bound to render any
assistance to the growing luxury and de-
generaoy OF the age, " and the husband,
in obedience to this decision, kept his
money in his pocket.

reach of his heels, and would at times walk
and at times trot; and all the while Tough
Dick kept his eye on and his heels toward
the foe, This continued for some time,
and might have ended in the hogs retreat,
but the pony was hungry and aggravated
at the interruption to his meal. In an un-
happy moment he attempted to take a
mou.hful Of corn. The boar, seizing the
advantage, rushed in. Escaping the heels
he charged in Under the belly Of the pony
and would have inflicted an ugly wound
with his tusks, but the force of his attack
carried him beyond the poiut Of DANGER
and before he could escape the wicked po-

would have caught. The boar squealed
dismally, and began turning so as TO bring
his tusks under the throat or jaw Of his en-
emy. Slowly and steadily he swung around,
suffering intense torture in the twisting
given his unhappy ear. Finding the boar
likely to gain his point, the pony suddenly
released the ear. The two had been pull

other, and the unexpected release stagger-

pausing at times to shake his ugly head,
