about eleven O'Clock yesterday morning, and
before the flames could be extinguished the
whole of the upper part was destroyed. The
fire originated from some unknown cause near

LEEsBURG, Va, Jan lS.-What is the shape
the action of the Legislature has taken on the
Interest question p Has it made per cent
constitutionally the highest rate that can be
taken for money, after the people shall have
acted or does it leave the matter open for the
action Of the Legislature? What shape will
the usury law take? Will there be an absolute
forfeiture of the whole debt? or will OH y the
excessive interest be forfeited? Our expert
encc here with juries is that they require ire
fragable proof Of usury before they will make
man lose his whole debt. Interest which
many last summer thought would settle at
per cent has gone up to ten per cent, with
strong demand for money, and on such time
and in such security as can not be affected by
the proposed changes. As an instance of the
great demand for money it is currently stated
on the street that gentleman, who will, with
in ninety days, get the proceeds of policy of
life insurance for $1,000, has already on hand
(ten days after his qualification as adminstra-
amount of $4,000, not counting any for less
than 500. Another large money lender, who
will take only six por cent, has applications for
his accrllng interest for months in advance,
and all his fund are thus loaned at six per ct.
compound interest. May not the reduction of
the rate of interest be like the liquor prohi
bition law once enacted by our County Court
it may fill our county with private brokers, who
will evade the law, and for their risk will take
more than twelve per- cent Has it ever been
suggested in print that the coupons of the
funded debt would probably add to the volume
Of the currency and tend to enhance prices of
lands and produce? Ten millions Of bonds
would furnish 100000 OF coupons, which are
receivable for all dues to the State, and might,
to considerable extent, be used as circulat-
ing medium almost, if not quite, at par. This
north of the Rappahannock. Under the Fund
ing bill there would gradually. grow up home
demand for the bonds, and year after year
home, and our people become more and more
identified with the prosperity of their own gov
eminent. Besides, the coupon when it touches
the hand Of the county treasurer has perform
ed its office, and reached its destination; the
interest is paid, and there is no chance for
stealing.
Our collector Qeesburg Township says he
has about 1000 Of taxes uncollected, most of
which he will get. The taxes for all purposes
are about $50, 900 for this township; SO that he
will fail to collect from three to five per cent
of the entire levy for State, county, township,
and school tax. | presume this is not more than
fair specimen of the other townships
There will be more enquiry for contracts
under the road law than there was last year
and it is likely the Overseer of Roads will be
mere inspector. believe if contracts were
more generally taken the taxes would he light.
