Merchants and Farmers,

We cannot for moment suppose that the
Virginia Legislature will pass any such
mcasure-as that now pressed in committee
10 make the failure of commission mer-
Chant to pay any one the proceeds of sales
OF anything consigned to him Il misdemcanor,
jail not longer than twelve months and fine
not exceeding one thousand dollars.
Why make faithlessncss of n commission
merchant in paying over proceeds Of sales
more thing to be punished than the failure
to refund to the commission merchant his
advances upon promised crop that never
is sent to him? Examine the books of the
commission merchants Of this city, and we
have not doubt it will be found that the
account current between them and the couu.
try is largely in their favor. We cannot see
that the commission merchant should be any
more the object Of opprobrium and punish.
mcnt for owing others than should he others
for owing him.
The idea of inficting such proposed pun
iShmeEt upon any one class for pecuniary
delinquency is monstrous. Are we to have
social war by arraying class against class
Will such war profit the country or sub
serve the ends of iusticeY AssurcdIy not
II would only ALLEVIATE classes whose interests
are harmonious. The old fogy idea thai
there is any hostility between them is hurt
till to both and entirely baseless. But there
are prominent persons and ut least one press
III the State who are endeavoripg to show
that such hostility does exist, very much to
the discredit of their own intelligence, and
very much to the injury of the State. The
doctrines of these highly prejudiced gentle.
men are commanding far less respect than
formerly, and let us hope that the time is
near when they will not be considered at
all.

PROPOSED IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE UNDER

thority, that q resolution looking to the i'm
parchment of Judge Underwood for crimes
and misdemcanors alleged to have been CON-
lnitted in connection with the McVeigh
contiscation culse will shortly be introduced

nia congressman. My informant says that
the charges made can be clearly proven. and
that The case will be pushed to the utmost.
This is Judge Underwood's tenth year of
service, and if anl correctly informed he
can after this year retire on full pay with
honors thick "upon him." So, if be is to
be impeached and removed little time is left
for the purpose, unless the Senate try the
case In extra session after the 18th Of March.

The Interest Question.

The House Of Delegates commences IL
passage OF the pons ds,ao,Um--thc consiuefa
ton of. the snsury Iaw-to-day. We tfu'
that tue unanswcrable facts bearing upon
the question may not be entirely disrcgaroe'
by the Legislature, and that their de'ipe'a,
tious will end In some measure con9i'.e"'
with instiee and common sense. we siN.t
the main points in BRIEF:
rst There was no Illegal interest undei
The Mosaic or divine law. Those who loaned
10 the very poor were restricted from c''ars
ing any interest; but none were required te
Tend TO the poor. That was matter lett te
the discretion of men who had money. Bu'
as to the amount charged for the use o.
money to those able to pay, there is nothing
like restriction upon It in the Bible.
Cd. The value of money, as indicated by
the prices paid for the use of it, is ever
changing, according to the abundance or Inc
scarcity Of money. In the reltest and most
successful commercial kingdom on this cartll
il has changed within two months from ito
"a per cent. Money for many years will NOT
be as cheap in this country as in England, be-
cause this country is young and is engaged
in the building of those public improvements
which require the expenditure of great
deal of money, and which England already
has. Nevertheless the same reasons for 4
change in the value Of money and in the rates
paid Tor It's use exist here as as in Eng
land; and the public man who attempts to
ignore this fact cannot succeed.
Sd. If fixed rate is established when mo-
ney is worth more than that fixed rate it will
bring it notwithstanding the penalties that
may be prescribed against the payment OF
ANYTHING for the use Of money above the
fixed rate.
4,b, Whenmorc than the fixed rate is paid
for the use of money the borrower will be
compelled to pay. besides the real value OF
money, something on account Of what odium
there may be in violating a silly law, and,
furthermore. something by way of Insurance
against loss from possible suit, and the de-
lays. annoyance. or loss thereby incurred.
So the borrower must be 'the sufferer from
any fixed rate which the Legislature may
prescribe.
5tb. A fixed rate will drive from the State
the capital held by all men who are unwil-
ling to accept the rate, and who are disin-
clined to incur the odium and the peril of
violating the law.
9Th. The borrower will have to enter q
market in which the capital is thus reduced,
and must become the victim of harsh and
grinding money-lenders, to whose tender
mcrcies he will have been subjected by the
Legislature which pretends to be his protec-
tor. He gets that protection which the lamb
gets when thrown into the den Of the wolf.
There is, indeed, not one single argument
for usury law. Everything ia against it.
II the Legislature wants to ruin the bor-
rover, drive away capital, restrict and tram
mel trade and enterprise, let It pass a usury
law. Such law is discarded by the best
informed States For the sake of the rcpu-
tation of Virginia as well as her prosperity
we trust she will abandon the barbarism OF
a llslry law.
