II will be noticed that Speaker Cornell voted
against the BILL although the House adopted all the
amendments asked for. The charge made at the
time but denied by the Speaker, that his object in
Offering amendments was to kill the bill, is therefore
fully sustained in the opinion of members who sup
ported the bill. The feeling throughout the State,
outside of the cities is represented to be very strong
against any change in the existing law. Several
changes in the votes of rural members from those
given on former occasion when the bill has been up
are accounted for by the hostility which they found
10 prevail among their constituents.
Mr.. Weeds bill for the enlargement of the
Champlain Canal, 50 as to admit of the passage of

passage. It is not expected that the bill will pass

RROM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUHEJ
ALBANY, Nav 14.-Pursuantt to resolution adopted
last week. the bill to modify the Usury laws was put
OF IT'S final passage in the Assembly at II o'clock
this morning. The third reading of the bill
having been announced, Mr.. Lincoln called
for the enforcement of the rule excluding
all but members from the floor while
the vote was being taken. Mr.. Beebe of Sullivan
then moved to reeOmmit the bin to the Judiciary
Committee with instructions to substitute for 1t a
bill which he had framed with view TO com
promise. His substitute read. 1t proYldeu
merely that in all cases whore usurious interest W."

both legal and usurious but not the principal Us at

Mr.. Herring opposed the substitute ana peieNeu

could afford to put itself on record IN favor OF Tue
bill on the order of third readings lie Ieite-
rated his former statement that the bill was not In
the interest Of moneyed men, but of borrowers Inc
substitute of Mr. Beebe, like the present law pro-
posed to make the lender Of money suffer, while the
borrower did not. If there any crime In taking
usurious interest the borrower was equally guilty
with the lender-nay more; he was the seducer,
while the lender was the sedueed. Capitalists did
not 90 into the highways seeking for opportunities
10 take usuriOus interest They were sought out by
borrowers and if crime was committed in taking
usury. the borrowers were the instgators and
ought to suffer at least equally with the lenders.
Gen Batcheller opposed the substitute "and all
notifications whatever Of the present Usury laws
He quoted the recent message of Gov. Ingersoll Of
Connecticut to show that the effect of the repeal OF
the Usury laws in that State had been TO raise the
rate OF interest. Mr. Jacobs advocated Mr. Beebes
substitute although he would prefer the totalrepea
OF the Usury laws.
Mr. Clarke also favored it, and said that New
York. Delaware and Oregon were the only States IN
the Union where the old laws requiring the
forfeiture Of the principal for the taking Of usury,
were now in force Mr.. Lincoln moved the pre-
vOus question the substitute, and itwas defeated
by large majority. The vote was then taken on
