THE eARRErT Pension CLAIM.


y A number of the Democratic Journals of
this State were considerably agitated few
days since, because Hon. A. E. Garrett,
the Democratic Congressman from the Sd
Congressional district, had been dropped
from the pension rolls at Washington. Tt
was asserted that his name was thus drop
ped because of his politics. We at the
time suggested that it might throw some
light on the subject, if these, Democratic
editors would state Upon what grounds he
was entitled to aypensiOnst We have look
ed in vain for such o. statement. But the
Tribune of Nashville sheds some light Oh
the question. It seems that Garrett re-
cruited some mentor the United States
service in 1861, and that he arrived in
Nashville, bout theV same with man
named Anderson, who had also obtained
some recruits. The two agreed that Gar
rett should give enough of his men to fill
Anderson's company, and that in
that case, he should have a Lieutenalcv.
But before their agreement could be
carried 5Eeut, the claims = of another

tween the pay of Sergeant and a Lieuten-

Swearingen demanded his money accord

to pay him. Thereupon difficulty en-
sued which resulted in CARROTS being Sc
+ yerely wounded. Upon this he based his
application for pension, and succeeded
by hard swearing, no doubt, in pro-

Kentucky Usurx Laws.

How long win the Solon's of Kentuc
XIV ignore the fact that the world moves?
How long will they retain upon our statute
books law as much at variance with
spirit of the age and the necessities of
the times as that Of imprisonment for
debt, punishment at the whipping post,
con6nemen ut in the stocks, or death for
witchcraft? The bugbear Of usury is
certainly as much phantom of the past
as the witches of Salem; and the law
restricting interest to six per cent is as
unjust as that law of the early Puritans
which forbade all interest upon loaned
money. Both are an unjust Interference
with the rights Of property.
Let US test the question logically. Who
will say that one hundred dollars, which
A receives for his horse, are not as much
his property as the horse was before the
sale? Who will gaiusay As right te
ask one hundred and fifty dollars for his
horse. and getit if he can? Or who will
question As right to ask and get five
dollars day for the use of his horsei
Carrying out the principle, why should
A be restricted to asking six dollars per
hundred year for the use of his money
II the horse and the money are alike
property; and his right to the use oil either
alike absolute, then liberty in the one
case is wrong or restrictioa IA the other
is wrong. Both cannot be right. But
As right in regard to the horse has not
been and cannot be questioned The
restrictions then, as to the money. must
be wrong, and the only remedy is in the
repeal of the law imposing the restric
ton It can be readily shown that the
barrier against extortion, as regards mon
ey or other property, is not prohibitory
law, but that great regulator of trade and
prices--the law of Supply and Demand

for five dollars. His profit is greater
than that of B. c. or D in other pur

General Buffers bin to prevent and

the South, and taking and preserving the
evidence of the claims of such citizens
for property taken during the war by

$50 Commissioners are authorized by
the bill, one for each county in twelve
States, and one for each city of over 20,
600 Inhabitants. These officers will
be paid only by fees, and will naturally
endevor to create business for their own
profit. This they can do only by eneour-

more criminal business for the district
