IMPORTANT TO THE MONEY SHAvERs. TT

IMPORTANT TO THE MONEY SHAvERs. The
Court of Appeals has decided that the usury
laws Of the State of New York apply 70 the
transactions Of national banks on contracts
made in this State, and that a violation Of
such laws subjects the offending bank to the
penalty they impose. The decision hinged
upon the case Of the First National Bank of
Whitehall against James Lamb and others, the
defendants pleading usury to resist payment
of a promissory note. The Judge at Circuit
gave verdict for the plaintiff, holding that
the State laws against usury did not apply to
national banks. This decision the Court of
Appeals sets aside, declaring the defence of
usury available, and orders a new trial. Judge
Rapallo pronounced the decision, Chief JUS
tice Church and Judges Allen, Peckham, Fol-
ger and Grover concurriug. Judge Andrews
was absent.

The FRENCH SITUATION Is UNCHANGED.
After the petition debate of Saturday public
attention has been turned to the work Of the
Committee Of Thirty. M. Theirs appeared
yesterday before them and argued for the crea-
ton of q second Chamber. The defeat Of
the radicals, implying large majority
pledged against dissolution, will probably
embolden the monarchists of the committee
to continue their work SO as to keep out the
republican tide as long as their pitchfork will
fill the gap. The advantage which M. Theirs
possesses he thus makes the committee share
with him. He is always willing to profess
acquiescence in anything beforehand, but he
somehow manages to have it SO happen that
when the time comes he acquiesces only in
what he wants. 1t is curious also that his
opponents as well as his supporters generally
come out pleased with the result.

The italian Government and the Jesuits
I'm Rome.

Since the occupation of Rome by the Italian
troops, and particularly since the ancient city
Of the Caesars became the capital of the new
Italian kingdom, fight has been going on
between the religious orders and the govern
ment. The government at Turin had already
abolished the religious houses throughout the
entire kingdom, and it was well known that,
of United Italy the same policy would be
pursued towards the religious houses hitherto
sheltered in the Pope's dominions and under
the shadow of the Vatican. The final action
of the government has been long delayed.
Many and serious difficulties lay in the way.
Much of the religious property was owned by
foreigners and was really under the protection
Of foreign governments. These property
difficulties have, it seems, 50 far at least, been
got over, and the long-deferred action of the
government is abont to be made. A
committee of the Chamber Of Deputies on
Saturday last adopted O resolution .'declar-
ing that the suppression of the Society of
Jesus. including the chief establishment of
the Order in Rome, is imperatively demanded
by the interests of the nation" The an
nouncement, we are told, was received by the
liberal Deputies with enthusiastic applause.
We have no reason to doubt that the report of
the committee will be adopted by tie Cham
bers and endorsed by the King, and that the
suppression of the Jesuts in Rome will
become fact. 1t is curious fact that the
Jestits are as little in favor in Roman Catholic
Italy as they are in Protestant Germany. 1t
is gratifying to know that, whatever may
become of the various religious houses, the
property will not he diverted from its original
purposes Of charity Tho srrsnaa99elis ss;sass

ANOTHER HORRIBLE CRIME stains the annals
of the metropolis another wealthy assassin
will have luxurious lodgings in the Tombs,
and the community is doubtless doomed to
witness the farce Of one more murder trial,
beginning in heat and ending in nothing.
The account Of this awful tragedy, which we
present in another part of this issue, will
be read with feelings Of indignation
and genuine alarm. That one ruffian should
slay another is perhaps not so much q matter
for deep grief on the part of law-abidng citi-
zens; but it is cause of indignation and
alarm that the murderer should have
no fear Of punishment before his ewes. Ii
the butchery Of Nicholas w. Duryea by his
partner in crime, Zacharah Z. Simmons
should result in awakening the citizens to a
realization Of the weakness of our laws for the
punishment. of crime and stimulating them to
demand a remedy, the sickening tragedy Of
last night will have had its use.

TIE LOUISIANA CASE AND THE SUPREME
CoUnT. The Supreme Court at Washington
has decided that an appeal from Judge
Durell's action in the New Orleans troubles
will lie as soon as final decision is reached
in the case now before that Judge, but that
the Court has no jurisdiction to issue writ
Of prohibition until an appeal is taken. As the
republican papers have already predicted, no
decision will ever be reached, and 50 the State
of Louisiana will be handed over to revolu-
tionary cabal, supported by federal bayonets,
until the time shall arrive for another ex-
preston of popular feeling. Then, probably,
the decision will he so emphatic as to prevent
any further outrage upon the freedom of the
State.

The CONGRESSIONAL. INVESTIGATING FARCE. -
The Oakes Ames investigating committee-it
ought to be written Hoax Ames-continues to
be the subject of speculation among the Wash
ington politicians and letter writer's We are
promised day after day startling disclosures"
and are favored with dark hints as to the
parties implicated in the bribery and corrup-
ton notorious in all this Pacific Railroad
business from beginning to end. AS, how
ever, the honorable Congressman are investi-
eating themselves, and very wisely do so in
the dark, we have no expectation that the
Baines smelling committee will nose out any
thing more than is usually discovered by such
bodies, and SO we may as well make up our
mind to a verdict declaring Oakes an injured
innocent and all the suspected congressman
the victims Of misconception.

Tho Boston OMcc-Crabbing and
Treasury Rings.

Our Washington correspondence, pub
lished in another part of the paper, lets some
light upon the combination, operations and
influence of the Massachusetts ring of poll
ticians who have controlled the Treasury De-
partment and other departments of the gov
ernment and who are plotting to control them
still. This powerful clique is called in Wash
ington the ''Boston Ring" 1t has now the
Secretary of the Treasury, aud is working to
get Mr.. Boutwell, into the Senate and to be
Chairman of the Committee on Finance, and
then to put Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Richardson at the head Of the Treas
ury Department in place Of Mr.. Boutwell, It
had recently, or has now, the Attorney Gen
eral, the Minister to England, the Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, Chairman Of the Senate Com
mittee on Public Lands (Mr. Pomeroy being
Boston man and belonging to the clique),
Chairman of the House Committee of Ways
and Means, Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, Chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency, and
number Of other important positions and
offices. Besides these it has the Vice Presi-
dency. The great object, however, is to holi
control of the Treasury and the financial
legislation of the country, for these Massa-
chusetts men always look to the main chance.
The whole government might as well be turned
over to this Boston combination and the seat
of government removed to Boston.

PLAIN AND FANCY SKATING. o.-There is quite
tempest in teapot among the numerous
devotees of skating. It is a rather unseason-
able subject to get excited over, considering
the present condition Of the season. The
clancy fellows" as those who have attained
high proficiency in the noble art are irrever-
emily termed, wish to keep the profanum v,d-
gus at a distance. and therefore petition the
fark Commissioners to reserve q portion of
the lake in Central Park for their exclusive
use. The profan,m vMgus naturally become
indignant, and consign the '1ancy few to
one of the duck ponds. The clerk of the
weather stepped in last evening and kindly
relieved both parties of the necessity of further
discussion. When the season comes it is
likely that the Commissioners will reserve the
lake for tho use of tho public in tho broadest
sense sens e !si Wort.

A Singular Feature in Our Cuban
Policy.

Policy.
The interesting correspondence from Peru,
published in the HERALD yesterday, contains
one singular piece of information. We have
been accustomed to hear much praise of our
government for its friendly intercession be-
tween Spain and the governments of Chile.
Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, and for its arrange
ment of treaty of peace between them. Tho
part taken by the administration at Washing
ton has been generally regarded as in the in-
terests of republicanism, and there has been
ON impression that we have acted the part Of
q powerful protector of the rights and liberties
of the peoples. Spain has been supposed
to have held her hand from hostile acta
against the South American Republics in
consequence Of the friendly but resolute and
earnest position of the United States. 1t ia
not gratifying to our national pride and self
esteem to be undeceived on these points and
to receive the impression that our government
has all the time been acting as the ally of
Spain in her efforts to crush the independence
Of Cuba and in relieving her Of the dangerous
interference of States which sympathized with
the cause of the struggling Cubans.
1t appears that the treaty arranged by our
government between the contending parties
contains clause which binds the South Amer
lean Republics not to assist Cuba in any way
with men, materials of war or any active
aid--during her attempts for freedom, unless
they shall have previously obtained the
sanction Of the United States for such acts.
This, of course, would tie the hands Of oil the
sympathizers with Cuba in the South Ameri-
can States, and would compel the governments
Of those Republics to exercise as sharp vigi-
lance in the interests Of Spain as is practised
by our Washington authorities. Peru indig-
nantly rejects such proposition. Herpeople
detest Spanish tyranny and will not be made,
its agents. They sympathize with Cuba and
care little for Spain or her trade, which, after
all, is of little value. Peru therefore with
holds her ratification Of the treaty, and the
efforts of our Secretary of State to do q
friendly act towards Spain at the expense Of
Cuban freedom, by shackling the hands Of the
South American Republics, will prove abortive.
The New York herald., 1872-12-17
On tho whole satisfactory. although It Is not
conceivable that the suppressed orders will be
at oil pleased with the change. II Is certainly
hard time for the Jesuits.



The pathetic revival of the ancient French
spollation claims by the venerable Simon
Cameron, as Chairman of the Foreign Reia-
lions Committee. in the Senate yesterday, was
the most important feature of tho day in that
body. AS q stalking horse for the introduce
tlon OF historical recollections of the aged
Senator'S youth they may servo recondite
and, possibly, useful purpose but as
standing annoyance they are unrivalled. They
have been for nearly three quarters of CEN
tury q subject always in reserve, and have
been brought forward until tho French spo-
liations have become byword. 1t has
been as steady a friend to dull
times as the Prince of Darkness is to coun-
try parson. Of the rightfulness of tho
claims there is, unfortunately, no question.
Everybody admits that they are just and
should be paid. The "average American"
would laugh to scorn the idea of our inability
to meet them. Why not then, pay them and
got them out Of the way? It is understood
that most of these claims are in the hands of
spectators. and, perhaps. that may account
for the deaf car Congress has turned to the cry
of those who, the aged Simon informs us,
''stalk through the land testifying against this
glaring outrage" Cannot Congress once for
all settle the little bill and stop this stalking
and talking?
In the House Mr.. Hale, of Maine, was
chosen for the task of ''heading off, the reso-
luton offered in the Senate by Mr.. Sumner
for the blotting out of the names of the bat
ties Of the rebellion from the army registers
and peeling them of the regimental flags.
The House. in passing the resolution, which
was, of course, the exact reverse of Mr.. Sum-
ner's, indicates what will be the fate of the
latter when it is reached. "'Twere o con-
summation devoutly to be wished" if all these
battles could be washed from the nations
memory as we'll as from their flags !;
as little party meaning as nowadays
Bannockburn or Marston Moor is in
England, it is almost hopeless to begin
obliteration with musty papers and regimental
standards. Over the trifes and inanimate
relics of the war it is useless to raise what
may be called battle cries of peace. In the
bringing together of the sections so sadly
sundered for time these things will not
stand in the way if those in whose power the
question now is will only throw no obstacles
in the way. A resolution was passed asking
information from the President on the extent
of the federal interference in Louisiana, and
one directing the Judiciary Committee to
inform the House what legislation was needed
to ward of the threatening dangers to liberty
and peace in Louisiana, Alabama and Ar
kansas ,.r
