MONUMENT 70 THE MEMORY OF
THE LATs Bishop DAy1s.--At the
last Episcopal Diocesan conven,
tiop. held in Charleston, last spring,
twas determined to erect a monu-

the cost of erection of said monu

congregations in the way they may
deem best, and at time not late1

,. The SPRING TRApE,-Many Of our
farmers have been in town during the
past week supplying themselves with
fertilizers, and plantation tools and
provisions. The good weather seems
to have given an impulse to work in
the fields, and every body is prepar-
ing for big. crop-especially of COT
ton. And to this end fertilizers with
out limit are being purchased. We
trust, however, that the grain crop
has not and will not be neglected.
Raise as much cotton as you can, but
by all means plenty Of provisions,
first and foremost.

good sense and good conduct of the
blacks, who have gone 10. work,
and aided their late masters in the
work of industrial restoration. The
evidences Of this: recuperatiop are
more marked in some sections than
in others, but they are everywhere
apparent. What the South needs
especially is the aid Of the General
Government in securing and main
tanning good government here, and
hence the eagerness With which She
has regarded the proposed visit of
the President, indulging a hope
thatpersonal contact with our peo-

with desire to satisfy them. We
trust that that visit is not indefi-

ABOLITION OF THE UsURY Law OF
GEoRa1A.-Georgia, we think, has
done wisely in abolishing the usury
law, and providing that the borrow
er may obtain money at any price,
but that the interest to be paid must
be stipulated in writing, otherwise
to he at seven per cent. In this she
has only coRformed to the public
sentiment Of the State, and abol--
ished a law which was practically
ineffective. because universally dis
regarded. "-t II
According to the statement Of
the Chronicle and Sentinel, "the States
-in which money may be loaned at
any ratewhich may be agreed upon
in writing, are, Arkansas, Georgia,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
South Carolina. We have no Off
cial report from other States Of the
practical effect of the policy of
abolishing legal restrictions upon
money lending, except Massachu-
setts. In this last named State it
is officially reported that the prac-
tical result has proved to be to raise
the rate of interest on mortgages
from six to seven per ,ceat., but to
cheaper the rate on all other secu.
rites. We anticipate an effect
quite the reverse Of the Massachu-
setts result in Georgia, and believe
that now that money loaned upon
real estate in Georgia will be cheap
ened, because, free from the hazards
of the usury laws, 1t will be bor-
rowed at current market rates.
Capitalists, induced by high rates
of interest, will no longer hazard
investments in foreign bonds, but
will prefer the more secure invest
ment at home"

PRESERVING FRUITS.

MANHATTAN, August 2lst 1871.
EDITOR EAGLE: Do You know where
the Wildcat is that romantic stream
that pours its limpid waters into the
classic Kaw near by? If you don't,
You should find out. With Maj. Per-
cell have just been up the valley,
some eight or ten miles 10 the north
west of this pretty burg. The bottom
is only about one-half mile wide, with
high rocky bluffs on either side. The
fields are divided by stone or hedge
fences, and the farm buildings are
nearly all of stone: some of the best
country houses and barns that can be
found in any state. The country around
here embraces all the advantages that
can well be found in one locality. The
superb valleys of the Kaw, Blue and
smaller streams afford the most fertile
farming lands, while the surrounding
bluffs give pasturage for numberless
cattle, without the necessity of the herd
law. Excellent water, convenient sup
plies of fine rock, and timber plenty.
Here also is the seat of the Agricultu-
raj college. which promises to be filled
to overlooking with students the next
term. and which will, we trust, enroll
six hundred in the year 1875. Here is
also the Alden fruit preserving facto-

The Ellsworth Murder.

Tho Kansas City Ne,cs gives the fol-
lowing account of another shooting
scrape at Ellsworth. Ii says: at seems,
according to the report received, that
when the men started out in search of
Ben Thompson, after he had shot Sher-
i'll Whitney. J. c. Pierce and man
named Kane. two partners in gam
bling house at Ellsworth. offered a re-
ward of one thousand dollars 10 any
one running the pursuing party back
into Ellsworth. This created consid-
cradle feeling and no little amount of
quarreling. About o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Pierce got into a quarrel
with some one over the matter. during
which he thrust his hand into his lef:
breast pocket, where he was known TO
carry a revolver. As soon as Pierce
made this motion, a policeman stand
ing by drew his revolver and shot him
through the heart. The victim fell to
the ground without speaking. OF
course the excitement was great, and
deadly weapons made their appearance
on all sides. k;ne, the partner Of
Pierce, slipped down an alley and es-
capped. he tearing. in the excitement,
that he too would meet the fate of
Pierce. Pierce was in this city last
week, stopping at the Lindell. He has
a good many acquaintance here.
