A gentleman was seated with other
persons in room where a country girl
set bolt upright and utterly silent. Sill
ence, indeed, fell upon the entire party,
and the gentleman fist alluded to said, in
what he supposed to be an almost maud
able tone of voice,
"Awful pause Z"
"Well, Mister" exclaimed the indign-
ant country lass, jumping up, "you'd have
awful paws, too, if you had to do the
scrubbing that do"

UsURY LAWS.


We understand that bill is pending in
the Legislature, which has probably
reached its third reading in the Senate,
the effect of which, is to repeal the law al
lowing parties to loan money, and receive
interest at the rate of ten per cent. per an
mum, and providing that higher rate
than six per cent. shall be considered usu-
ry, and punished accordingly. We have
no doubt of the good intentions of those
who vote for such law, but we believe its
passage will be destructive of the best in
terest of those whom it is intended to bene-
fit. 1t is no doubt intended by its authors,
as measure of relief for the man of small
means who may have occasion to borrow
money. The result will be to drive all
surplus capital out of the State, beyond
the reach of men who need occasional ac-
Communications insmall amounts It makes
very little difference to the man who bor-
rows large amounts, and is able to secure
leans with eollaterals, for he can afford to
go elsewhere for money.
The man who has money to loan will
loan it where it pays him best. He will
not take six per cent. interest when he can
invest it to better advantage, which he can
always do. In our humble judgment, the
effort to regulate, by law, the price which
men should receive for tire use of money
is all wrong, and will always fail in afford
ing the relief that is intended. The laws
of supply and demand will regulate this
as well as other branches of trade and
of our friends honestly differ with us on
this subject, butthese are our views, and
we believe them correct.

The man Carlock, appointed Assistant
Clerk of theSenate by SpeakerV Vaughn, has
been trying to get position for some
length of time it seems. He first went in
to the Confederate army, run for office, got
beat and went home. Afterwards he was
a candidate for Tax Collector in his coun-
ty, but was defeated in the convention.
Then he run for Justice of the Peace, but
was badly beaten. In the campaign down
there last summer, he managed to get into
the Senatorial Nominating Convention of
the Democratic party, and we learn, held
mum Der of proxies. whereby he exercised
considerable influence in the ballotings,
invariably casting his vote for Crawl.
Vaughn. The result was, Vaughn was
nominated. Now he has an opportunity to
reward Carlock, and appoints him Assist
ant Clerk of the Senate, where he gets six
dollars per day, and is wholly ineompe-
tent, as we learn, to perform any service
which will be an equivalent for the amount
of pay he gets Further particulars may
be obtained from respectable Conservatives
of McMinn county.

Low TAXES.

We are decidedly in favor of the very
lowest rate of taxation consistent with the
public honor and the public credit. We
would regulate our taxes by this standard.
The question for consideration now is, can
our State taxes be reduced without impair
ing the public credit? Is it safe to reduce
the taxes to point which will merely pro-
vide funds for the payment of current ex-
penses, without any reference to paying
the interest on the State debt? Is it hon
est for us to say to our creditors that we
will ignore their just claims until we get
wealthier? How easy for man to make
such an excuse who wishes to avoid the
payment of his honest debts, but what will
be thought of the character of man that
will do it? What must be thought of a
proud State, such as Tennessee claims to
be, that will do it?
These are considerations we'll worthy of
the attention of our Legislature. The poll
cy of reducing taxes, without regard to
provisions for the interest on the State
debt, seems to be popular at Nashville. Let
members ponder well whether it is best in
the end, for our people to pay high taxes
for few years and establish the credit of
the State, or whether they will, for the
sake of a little brief popularity, vote for
low taxes and strike directly at the State
credit. As we said in the outset, we are
for the very lowest rate of taxes conslste Mt
with the public credit, but we are not'wil-
ling to sacrifice the honor of the State, by
refusing to meetour obligations as prompt
ly as possible. - dss - @

will be remembered that he has been quite
lately introduced into civilized society. In
other ways he has sufficiently vindicated his i'm
portance and claimed large share CT the
public attention. In Waterfowl, Wisconsin,
this insect first became cause of litigation,
The plaintiff complained that the defendant,
when picking the bugs from his own vines, did
not kill them, bat threw them over the fence
into the plaintiffs potato patch, whereby the
crop, having to endure the attacks of the raw
enous insects in greater number than nature
had designed, was utterly wasted and destroyed.
He claimed to recover the value his crop would
have had if his own potato bugs had been left
TO themselves. The case was argued at great
length by learned counsel, and the magistrate
was deeply impressed with the gravity of the
question at issue, as his decision seemed likely
to establish precedent. When the arguments
were ended the magistrate studied his books for
some time, bnt as neither in the index m the
statutes nor the digest could he find the title
potato bug" nor doryphora decemltneo,o he
felt obliged to give judgment for the defendant
holding that the evidence showed no cause NJ
