Both branches Of the Connecticut
legislature have abolished the law repeal
ing the old usury laws Of the State. The
vote was decided one, and if Governor
lngersoll vetoes the bill he will do 50 in
contravention Of what is pretty clearly the
will of majority Of the people of Con.
necticut. The repealed law had been in
operation less than year, and even con-
ceding that there is any doubt as to the
wisdom Of abolishing usury laws, the ad.
vocates of that cause might reasonably
maintain that the experiment of free
money had not received fair trial. But
that there is any doubt on this subject we
cannot admit. The unanimous voice of
political economists, AMI the experience Of
all communities where the plan has received
thorough trial, establish the fact that
usury statutes are noxious obstacles to the
freedom of trade. The course Of Connecti-
cut we cannot but regard as mistake, on
which we trust repentance will speedily
follow. The legal rate of interest in the
State, if Governor Iugersoll signs the bill,
will be seven per cent.

Senator Carpenter made two hours
speech at GAINESVILLE, Wis, Thursday night,
in defence of Congress for voting and re-
ceiviug increased salary, including back
pay He argued that the entire transac-
tions of Credit Mobilier did not involve
wrong or corruption, and said it seemed as
though the freedom of the press was the
only freedom left in the country, and that
it was absolute despotism as against every
body, but the press had men who held
Mobiler stocks and said they had a right
to have it. Regarding the back pay, he
argued that $500 year was not too
large a compensation for Congressional SER
vices, if fit men are elected. In reference
to the retroactive clause, he cited as pre-
cedent the case of Governor Washburn,
who, in 1855, voted for increase Of salary,
including eighteen months back pay, and
enumerated others who did the same He
said he had his colleagues (Howe's) per-
mission to say that, although he thought it
was not best to pass the increase Of salary
bill at the last session, and therefore voted
against it, yet he believed 81 800 not above
a fair compensation for his services, and
that he has drawn the money and sees no
reason for returning it..

The Chinese Immigrants.

The people Of California have resorted
to a great variety of expedients for the per-
secution Of the Chinese who have settled in
that State. The last one was an attempt
to enforce a law for clipping the hair from
the heads Of the Chinese, which would be
regarded as a very great offence by that
people. This has failed, but il has drawn
from the leading Chinese merchants a letter
in which their grievances are rected, and
in which they remind the people Of the
United States Of the fact that the policy OF
the Chinese government was strictly ex-
elusive before the treaties with foreign
powers, and that these treaty stipulations
we're dictated to them after defeat by for
eigu powers. Under these treaties the
foreigners have freely entered into China,
and have caused there more dissatisfaction
than the Chinese have ever caused here.
Besides, the introduction of American and
English inventions has thrown out Of en-
ployment more Chinese than the latter have
ever displaced Of our laborers. However,
they propose now to abrogate .he treaties
Of friendiness and commerce, let each peo-
pie withdraw to their own country, and
have all things as they we're. Americans
in China carry with them our laws, and arc
protected against any ill.treatmeat. In
America the Chinese are Disseminated
against in everything Under these cir
cumstances. the Chinese ask reciprocity oil
treatment, or an end to all treaties.
The specimens of Chinese brought to this
country are not the kind Of specimens oil
humanity to excite the pride of American
in their cousins of the Flowery Kingdom
In fact, while all Americans would b,
pleased with an opportunity to elevate anC
bless the Heather Chinee," there is gen
eral feeling-and in California it is deeply
rooted-that the elevating process shoult
be inaugurated in the mother country
Nevertheless, since the Chinese are here
and that too at our invitation, what shal
be done with them? Evidently they will
resist the Yankeeizing process for lon
time but Just what to do with them Will
undergoing this change from a Chimes
grub to live and blooming Yankee, is tn
pcrplexing question which remains to b
solved

The Cuban insurgents are once more
making it lively for the spaniards. The
latter must certainly begin to regard the
subjugation of Cuba as one of the most dis.
couraging undertakings in history. That
they will ever give it up voluntarily is not,
however, to be expected. It is an histori-
cal fact, with certainly very few exceptions,
that Spain never reconquers her revolving
provinces, but it is equally true that the
Obstinancy with which she prosecutes her
efforts in that direction is only equalled by
her invarable ill-success.

The story of domestic dssenton and
unhappiness, brought out in the Walworth
trial, is very painful. Letters Of the MUIR
dered man to his family, couched In the
most violent tone and even containing con.
ditional threats Of murder to his wife, have
been put in evidence. They are evidently
the rawlings Of an insane man; and, as the
defence Of young Walworth is hereditary
homocidal insanity, they have the effect Of
Strengthening this defense.

The New York Times is supposed to
be responsible for the origin Of ruulor to
the effect that the Central Vermont Rail-
road had passed into the hands aud control
Of the Erie Railroad Company. This
rumor found its way into the Boston papers,
aud was copied into the St. AlbansMeSSea-
ger, with some comments tending to confirm
it. Gov. Smith very promptly end very
properly in letter to Mr. Clarke, denies
the matter, and asserts that No commune
cation has ever passed between this company
and the Erie Railroad Company on the sub
ject, nor has il ever been entertained or
mentioned in the board of directors of this
company Well, what next?

Henry Ward Beecher has at last

In recent note to the Brooklyn Eagle,
he says: "ln a long and active life in
Brooklyn it has rarely happened that the
Eagle and myself have been in accord on
questions of common concern to our fellow
citizens | am for this reason impelled to
acknowledge the unsolicited confidence and
regard of which the columns of the Eagle
of late bear testimony. have Just re-
turned to the city to learn that an applica.
ton has been made to Mrs. Victoria c..
Woodruff for letters Of mine supposed to
contain information respecting certain in
famous stories against me. have no OBJ
lection to have the Eagle state in any way
1t seems ct that Mrs, Woodruff or any 9TH
or person or persons who may have letters
Of mine 10 their possession have my cordial
consent to publish them. In this connec-
ton and at this time will only add that
the stories and rumors which have for
some time past been circulated about
me, are grossly untrue, and stamp them
in general and particular as utterly false"
