Tho Gsury, the Banks. and the COM
mission Merchants.

We hone Mr.. Ashe will soon call up his
hill rcncalinr the us,lry laws of the State.
The pcope of North Carolina all demand
this measure of protection against the money
extortoncrs with whom they are compelled
to deal.
Wilson county has thousands upon thou
sands of dollars on deposit in New York,
capital that ought 10 be active in the work OF
developing and improving that county, but
the owners thereof will not bring it home
Willie they can put it out at from twelve to
eighteen per cent. abroad, but are restricted
to eight at home.
One planter in Wilson county paid his
commission merchant in Baltimore four per
cent. q month for advances to make his crop.
4 wealthy gentleman, at his own door, offer
ed this snme farmer loan of fifty thousand
dollars at ono per cent. if he could give him
a guarantee against the usury laws; but he
could not, and so this fifty thousand dollars
goes INTO the hands Of 4 commission mer-
chant in New York, who will furnish this
same farmer this same fifty thousand dollars
at four per cent. month"; clear loss to VIII
son county, in the case OF one man, OF
eiqhieen thousand dollars for 1872.
We have shown to the members OF this
Legislature that the farming interests OF the
State arc being taxed as four is to one because
Of the liSury laws. Instead OF borrowing
money at twelve per cent, as they could 40
but for usury, the farmers are paying for ad-
vanccs, in the way of supplies. forty per cent.
more than the prescribed rate Of interest III
the State.
As matters now arc the usury laws OF
North Carolina are running the people OF the
State. as twelve is to forty-eight. We have
shown that the usury laws take out of the
pockets of one man t,centyJour thousand
dollars for this year, when with repeal OF
those laws he would pay out in the way OF
interest but six thousand year.
We know parties in Wake county who
are sending their money to Virginia to be
loaned out at twelve per cent. Il year. We
know other parties who are sending to Viz
ginia to borrow this same money ut twelve
Der cent. year because they cannot get it
at home for eight, and we have usury law
that fixes the rate of interest ut eight pei
cent.
Having shown the Legislature, in part
the great evils of the usury laws Of this State.
we ask and demand, in the name of the peo-
| pie of North Carolina, n repeal of all such
odious, oppressive, and stupid laws-laws
| that protect the great capitalist in his cXtor'
ton and grind the working people down to
the dust in their weakness and hclplessness.--

The Thomas Concerts

The second visit Of THEoDoRE THoMAs's
orchestra to Richmond was very successful
The Assembly Hall was well tiled Win ap-
prcciatiye audiences. Beyond question
Thomas is the most accomplished musical
director VIC have had, and his orchestra is the
hest drilled and most harmonious that has
ever played before an American audience.
The cmphases and cadences Of this large or
chcstra, numbering sixty or more members,
were rs well defined and expressive Us though
made upon one single violin. So were the
emotional passages. Above all, however,
were the passages in full force, amounting in
WAGNER's music to q sort Of hurricane, so
faultless-eyery man playing truly his part,
without excess or deticiency-that its volume
was never deafening, but always graceful
and admirable. The man who at all appre-
ciates music, and did not hear THoMAs's
orchestra, forfeited the opportunity to enjoy
the richest treat in its way ever offered to the
Richmond public.
We were there, and quite happy, with one
drawback. Some gentleman was ahead OF
us and got our scat-section 0, No. 4. We
were too considcrate to disturb gentleman
eScorting lady when we were alone, so We
lodged in two sections in the rear. Our gen
tlem.n was tall, and his head cut off the view
from the centre wing, depriving lis of good
look at the pretty pianist, Miss kKEBs. We
took it for granted that she was pretty-thcy
are all pretty. Every time we attempted to
yet d glance at her there was the stout, buShy
head of the gentleman in chair 4, section o.
Oh, oh, oh-every sort Of oh! He might
have taken our seat, but he needn't have shut
out the view. Still, we endured all, in our
abundant amiability. During the night we
got patches Of ali the faces, and putting them
together, we found out how they all looked,
particularly Miss KKEBs, who is charming
pianist.
We diverted our attention from 0 by look
ing around to see if we could See the Enqut-
rer and A., NJ. g. O. But we failed to dis
cover either. We wanted to ask the Eiaqat-
rer what he thought of WAGNER's music, and
wanted to see what effect it had on A., HI. 4
o. The Wing Is SO joined to its griefs and
woes about the past that we thought Wac
NER's emusic Of the future" might wake 1t
upto the future" That music we could
not well comprehend, but it was on a grand
and thrilling scale, and might even stir up
the Wing to sense Of its identity and its
condition as, a passenger OH the sea that is
steadily drifting lis all further and further
away from the objects of its present griefs.
We hope 1t twas there. AS for the Enquirer,
If !he was there, look out for vigorous and
fistfaliing blows in the brass foundry!
Long live THOMAS. When he comes again

The New Seminary Building.

Saturday afternoon we had the pleasure OF
being shown over the fine building on Sem
mary Hill, to be completed and ready for the
occupancy of the School at the commence
ment of the Fall Term, Aug. 2Sth. We
were surprised rs well as gratifed to find the
building SO lar advanced, and the rooms so
admirably arranged and neatly finished. The
entire work is creditable to architect,
builders, agent, and all who have had to do
in bringing to final completion such a
convenient, commodious and stately hall of
science and learning. Its location is slightly
its surroundings beautiful, and the prospects
from either tower almost unequaled in love
illness and variety. Inside, the work and
finish, while durable and modest, are Ger
tainlv graceful and ornamen tai
Too much credit cannot be awarded Rev.
Mr.. Button for his intelligent and practical
carrying out of the work Of building house
of which no man need be ashamed. He has
labored faithfully in season and out of sea
son in the furtherance of the great object
placed in his charge by the Conference, and
now his works do and long will praise him
Strictly practical and common sense man
in his methods of business, and economical
almost to a fault, nothing has been omitted
in this superb building that would mar the
beauty of the structure, and no expense has
been spared that would add to its convenience

the expenses after paying the entire salary

the Vermont Conference will have the finest
school building in the State, and one of the
finest and best in New England To have
builded or superintended the construction of
such au edifce is earthly glory enough for
any man.
We trust every Methodist father and
mother in Vermont will come up to the
capital, and see for themselves what a noble
work has been carried on in providing this
inviting Temple of knowledge for the
benefit of their sons and daughters. Let
