ABOLITION OF THE USURY LAW.

1t appears that :he Ohio Leigsla-
ture is about to try the experiment of
abOlishing all usury laws. The advo-
Gates of free trade in money" it is
observable, reiterate the fallacy that
money is a commodity, like any
thing that is grown or manufactured"
We would like some of these gentle
men to point out anything else than
money that is a legal tender in pay
ment of debts. The farmer cannot
pay his debts at the bank with cheese,
cattle or grain. The mechanic cannot
pay his with wagons, furniture or
leather; nor can the merchant liqui-
date his aceeptanees with a tender of
dry goods. The farmer, mechanic and
merchant must each exchange their
products and wares for money, before
they can meet the legal demands of
their creditors. Hence money has a
power, preference and superiority, as
a representative of values, made so
already by law, over all other COM
modities ; and the me of money have
that particular species of property
which the government requires eve
~ other man to have, in order TO car
~ on business. 1t would seem that
this fact gives to the money power all
the advantages it should have over
the industrial interests of the State.
But the question has been year af-
ter. for a dozen years at least, before
our State Legislatures, and, probably,
the best thing that could happen
would be to afford the people of Ohio
a few years of practical experience in
the working of a free trade law, and
if it should prove to be the b%eneicent
measure its advocates assume it will,
no doubt the general good n OF
the people will discover the fact.

Behold how beautiful on the hills Of
North Carolina are the feet of Demo-
cratic progress! One Of the leading
opposition papers Of that State lays
down the following cardinal pianks
for incorporation into the creed Of the
faithful: The abolition of the entire
system of public instruction; the sale
of the State University ; the abolition
of the office of State GeolOgist the
restoration of the whipping post the
imposition of q poll tax as a qualihca-
ton fer yOters-and last, but mol least,
.he repadisuor of the financial obli-
cations Of the State, Whatever else
they may be, these Propositions are
certainly plain and straightforward
enough. The siren songs OF the new
departure have evidently been chan
ted in vain 10 that quarter.-Pttts-

ALBERT FORTUNE AGAIN CAUGHT Or
Thursday morning, about ct o'clock, MIR. Eley
Harris of Hanover county, reached FrederlckS
burg, and informed officer Undertake anC
Mayor Berrey that horse had been stolcr
from farm about miles west of Ashland, or
Tuesday night, and proceeded to give descrlp
ton of the thief, which so nearly accorded with
the person of Albert Fortune, who recently es
capped from the cars, while being carried back
to Richmond, that there seemed to be little OF
no doubt that the thief and Fortune were one
and the same person. MIR. Harris told the
Mayor that he had just discovered the stolen
horse in an open field adjoining town.
Thereupon, Mayor Berrey, and several OF
fcers proceeded to the house occupied by Sally
Fortune, the aunt of Albert, and who raised
him. The house is at the west end OF town, OF
Barton street.
On entering the yard the party were attacked
by dog. Messrs. Crutch6eld and Tim berlake
entered the house from the rear. The other
parties stationed themselves at various points.
The women in the house at once commenced
abusing the officers for their violent entrance.
Crutch6eld went to shed door, and throwing
it open, discovered Fortune, and snapped pisto
at him, when Fortune at once ran against an
opposite door in the shed. breaking it down,
and fed. He crossed Barton street, into the
lot Of Miss V. Hooe, being shot. at several
times one of which shots, by officer Gore, t. ,k
effect, striking him on the back of the head
and running over the top of the Uranium. As
Fortune scaled the first fence Crutch6eld sez
ed him, but bis hold was broken, Fortune at
that moment receiving the shot from officer
Gore. Fortune still ran, noun ed a second
fence, and was seized by Maurice Rowe, and in
a moment other of the parties were at hand
when Fortune was secured. The only remark
made by Fortune was, 1T is too hard gentle.
