Nav HAVEN. June IS The House
OF Representatives, has repealed the US
ury law Of two hundred years stand ing,
fixing tho Iate of interest at six per cent,
BY vote Of l3l to As 1t passed the
Senate unanimously last week.
We regret to learn our townsman
John Cordell. met with paint acct
dent on Friday of last week. It was
thought at one time that his injuries
might prove fatal; but we are pleased
to learn he is improving R cz;ingham
Register.
The reason Why tho Irish and Ger
mans are so enthusiastic for Grant and
Wilson il probably found in tho fact that
Henry Wilson. in speech in Massachu-
sets. in 1854, used the following langu-
age. 50 .aeT-'
"I'he time has come when the Uniform
Of the State militia should no longer be-
disgraced by being seen on the back Of
a Catholic Irishman or Iufdel Dutch
man."
How WILL He RuN?-The question
now asked as to candidates tor public
favor is not Il he honest? Is he capa-
bleI Is he truo to the CONSTITUTIONS
| but How will he run?l How, for ex.
ample, will Wilson run? We know no
thing as to bottom, but if he runs as
fast as he did after the first battle of
Manassas. he will get to shington
ahead Of oil competitors. -LynchJmg
