The Rate or Interest In Virginia

The following private note from one
Of the ablest jurists in Virginia, who
was formerly a distinguished Judge OF
her Supreme Court of Appeals, has
been kindly furnished US for publication
as matter of general interest, and to
correct some erroneous impressions
with regard to the legal rate Of interest
in the old Commonwealth:
VIRGINIA, August l., 1872
! write to say that no change is yet
made by the recent action Of the Leg
islature and the people in respect CT
the usury laws OF Virginia. The repeal
of the Constitution in respect 10 the
II per cent clause does not affect the
act OF the Legislature, passed in con-
formitv with the Constitution, allowing
parties TO contract for l2 per cent. The
Constitution merely prohibited the
Legislature from passing a law to de-
clare anything over per cent usurlous.
The Legislature is now merely free, as
it was before, TO say what should be
usurious and what not. Under
the Constitution they had no right to
declare IL per cent contract usurious.
Now they have. But, in 1870, in con-
formity with the Constitution, they
allowed, by act OF Assembly, parties to
contract for any rate Of interest not
beyond twelve. That law is not
repealed and is still in force. The aim
OF the clause in the Constitution was to
prevent the Legislature from declaring
any contracts or loans within II per
cent. usurious. The only effect Of the
striking out Of this clause lie to give the
Legislature the full power they would
otherwise have had OF saying in all
respects what should and what should
not be usury. The act passed in 1870
saws contracts may be made for IL per
cent. That is not repealed; until it is,
the changei n the constitutional provis
ion does not alter II. Parties may still
contract for any per cent. not exceed
ing Il, and may continue to do so until
the Legislature acts on the subject and
saws what shall be hereafter the law on
the subject.

John A. Logan says it Is one of tae
meaneet accusations against the Presi-
dent that be twill not Eck bis poor old
father out Of the $ll60 office to which
johnson appointed him. Reference
TO the Blne Book shows that the Gov

$4,000 year, and that deputies are EN-,
ployed to perform all the duties OF the
Office, including the duties of body
servant to decrepit old man.
The Township Central Committee Of
this township decided that no person
should vote at the primary election
unless they will vote for Grant aud
Wilson. We are one of the number
that had proposed to support the Re-
publican ticket, from General McNulta
down, but, il they do Z OF want that sup

other good Liberal Republican,

In the Fifth District of Wisconsin,

who has been twelve years in Congress,

ersl party and the Milwaukee WseOn-
sin addresses the Grant voters, who are

case OF need, because he can be more
useful than q new member, and be-
cause, furthermore, IF there should be
a Democratic Congress, Mr.. Eliridge

Speaker
The movement to run Edward Bax-
ter, of Nashville, as an independent
Greeley candidate for Governor of Ten,
nessee, had its origin in the abandon
ment Of the field by the Grant party,
and in personal and local objections to
Governor John c. Brown, while he is
also for Greeley, and is the regular
candidate. The editor Of the Nashville
Banner having been named as one of the
men in the movement, that paper saws :
While the Banner believes that Ed
mund Baxter would make the best
Governor this State has had since the
days OF the late VIM. B. Campbell, it is
not engaged in looking up a candidate
for Governor

New York Money Market


MONEY-The market was decidedly
tirmer to-day, with an advance in the
rates of interest. Early in the day call
loans were done at 495 per cent, but
toward the close there was an advance
to per cent with some TRANSACTIONS at
gold interest. Commercial paper, which
sold at 6l@7 per cent a few weeks
since, is now quoted at 7l@9 per cent.
The cable to-day announced the failure
of Gladstone d Co., of London, large
and prominent firm in the East India
trade. Their liabilities are estimated
at two million pounds sterling or about
ten million dollars gold. This failure
has attracted some attention in tnan-
cial circles.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE-Msrket
was heavy and lower with actual bust
ness at 1882 for prime bankers sixty
days sterling bills, and 1904 for sight.
GOLD-The market was lower and
ranged from ll4s 10 ll4s.
GOVERNMENT BONDS-Dull, but
closed up little firmer United States
currency skies at ll3@ll3i.

MINERAL COUNTY.

Progress or the Greeley Movement.
Editors of the Register:
Pursuant TO notice given, a meeting
OF Democrats OF the county of Mineral
was held at the Court House, at New
Creek, on Tuesday, the 10Th inst. An
intelligent and appreciative audience
listened with great attention TO ad-
dresses delivered by Hons. c. Boggess
aud S. F. Carey. The remarks of both
these distinguished speakers were point.
ed and reasonable and were we'll re-
ceived 10y the people who were in at
tendance.
A scathiug review Of the course Of
Governor Jacob was given, showing
him up in his true light, and his politi.
cal conduct was brought into a very
uuenviable contrast with the straight
forward and consistent and honorable
course pursued by Mr.. Camden. The
new Constitution was favorably COM
mented on and fairly presented upon
its many merits to the consideration OF
the people OF the State.
The claims OF Horace Greeley to the
support OF the opponents OF the present
Administration were forcibly put, and
ably demonstrated that the hope of the
country, for permanent peace and pros
perity lay in the election OF the Farmer
OF Chappaqaa to fill the chair now
occupied by President Grant and bring
hack aga.n purity o. government and
relief to an overburdened, overtaxed
and oppressed people.
These speeches seemed to fall, as good
seed, into good ground, and we may
confidently expect q rich harvest OF
Camden and Greeley votes as the re-
suit. OBSERVER.

| Arly grew stronger as the summer wore on,
and Ethel was encouraged about him. With
his usual unselfshness he strove to bear his
burden as much in secret as might be, and
not let the weight of it fall too heavily on
others. He did not suspect how fully his kind
nurse and gentle comforter shared it with him.
Since Brooke had gone, there was vacancy
in her heart that nothing could fill; yet she
constrained herself to be always equable and
cheerful in manner, and none who witnessed
