DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.

The Democratic State ticket is a
new one throughout. Only one of
the New Departure ticket was men.
TONED in the Convention, and his
name was hooted out OF it. Indeed
the feeling against the New Depar-
turists was more intense than against
the Republicans, and the only effect
yet produced by ''the tliirtieth-of-
July-anns" is that of stirring up the
old Democracy to an intensity of an
ger never before felt by them. The
fact that there was danger the Dem
ocratic organization would be aban-
doned reused up all the old spirit of
the party, and the crowds that flock
ed to Columbus on the 9th did SO to
bear witness to Brinkerhof and his
crew that they could. not be sold
out. .'ts 80 - -ge- raf'

2 Probably not one person in ten
can tell the size Of our great fresh
water lakes. They are asfollows:
Lake Superior, length, 335 miles;
breadth, 100 miles; main depth, GSS
feet; elevation, 627 feet; area. AZ, 600
square miles. Lake Michigan, length
300 miles;greatest breadth, ,1S0 miles
mean depth, 900 feet; elevation, 5O7
feet; area, %, 600 square miles. Lake
'Huror, length, 100 miles; breadth,
l60 miles; mean depth, 600 feet; ele
vation,555 feet; area, 6,OOO square
miles. It will be thus seen that Su-
lperior is the largest, the most eleva-
ted, and contains the largest, area; !;
that Michigan is the deepest and the
broadest;- that Huron is the shortest
and has the lowest elevation; that
Erie is The narrowest,th shallowest
and contains the smallest area, and
that Superior and Huron are the
same breadth.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

3 The important amendment, to be found
in a special telegram received by us when
about going to press, would indicate that
the House of Representatives will take the
back track in its hasty and inconsiderate
action upon the national bankrupt law the
other day. The homestead exemption pro-
vision has been engrafted, by two-thirds
vote, upon the bankrupt law, which, if the
law itself be not repealed, will secure the
long-desired relief sought by bankrupts in
in this State. The bill granting the two
thousand dollar exemption, was called up
on motion of Mr.. Plat, of this State, and
passed by a two-thirds majority. All
honor to those who have fought through
this benefcent provision. The action of
the House, and the bill as passed. will be
found in our telegraphic columns.

THE RATE OF INTEREST.
Remarks of Senator n. G. Greene

Remarks of Senator II. G. Greene.
During the debate on the interest ques-
ton, which important subject was discussed
in the State Senate for several days last
week, Hon. R. G.. Greene, senator from
Petersburg, spoke as follows:
Mr.. PRESIDENT did not intend TO take
part in this debate, as the questions in
volved have been very ably presented by
those senator's agreeing with me, who
have already spoken. Nor would now
speak, but for certain remarkable utter
ances that have fallen from some senators
during the discussion of this subject.
I believe that money should be perfectly
free like any other commodity, and | am
opposed to all usury laws. am sure the
more we undertake to regulate the rate of
interest by law, the worse we make it..
Let the market value regulate the price.
The freer we make money the lower the
rate of interest, and the better for all classes
of the community. But l have become
satisfied, from the course of this debate
and the spirit of the legislature, that legal
rate of interest will be established. 1t is
my desire-and | know it is the wish of
the people represent-that that rate shall
be made as high as we can get it. | am
willing, as measure Of compromise, to
agree that six per cent. shall be the legal
rate and allow on contracts as high as nine
or ten per cent.
l would be glad to get the contract rate
as high as twelve, but am sure this Gene
raj Assembly will no. give us that.
We are told that there is an irrecon-
cilable antagonism between the CONNER
cial centres and the farming interests
that legal rate of interest higher than six
per cent. is ruinous to the farmer and will
benefit no one but the "brokers and sharp.
ers'' in the towns, "those modern Shy
locks,o who will have the full pound Of
flesh and are not content short of taking il
from the very heart itself.
do not admit that there is this antagon.
ism of interest. On the contrary, think
there is the harmony of mutual dependence
and mutual interest-the cities would starve
without the produce of the farmers, and
the latter cannot get along without the
merchant, on whom be is dependent for q
market for his products and for the neces
sary advances to enable him to plant, cult.
vate and move the same to market. AS
to the brokers-''them modern Shylocks"-
assure the senators from the rural districts
that usury laws with the legal rate of in
J terest is the very kind of legislation they
