The Five Years.
Five years in heaven sweet sister,
Five years of light aud joy,
In the br ightsome home of the Angels
And happiness " ithsut alloy.
Tive years since my lips in sadness
Were pressed to thy cold, cold brow
Five years, and thy loving presence
Is dreamily with me now.
Five times have the ros es showered
Their leaves by thy white head stone.
Five times to the smiling Southland.
Have the summer song birds flown.
Five times has the earth in gladness
Grown rich with the golden Grain;
Five times has the icy winter
Blown heavily Ger the plain,
Five years, and youth and beauty.
And age bent low with care;
Have folded tn cir hands in silence
And taken their places-whers,
Away from the din and striving,
No sound from the car of time,
Breaks on the hollow'd stiffness
That shadows that fearful cline.
Five years and my feet are weary,
And as without couose or mark,
Life often seems useless CROPPING,
tangle of light and dark;
For the faircst Of hopes are prisoned,
Aud wit Ii us they will not stay,
But wave DER the heart their bright wings
Then hurriedly PASS away.
Five years. take them up singly
And look ut them one by one.
All return with wrecks and failures
Naught fair that my hands have done.
But may be when life is ended,
And the clouds have been cleared awsy,
Some motive may geam more shapely.
That is hid by the mists to day,

IRE nSnRY LARS nSEFnLf

On no question are the citizens of our State
more utterly divided. Every year it is dis
cussed at Albany and dropped. 1t is as good
a stock subject for a debating society as the
question whether Hannibal or Scpio was the
greater warrior. The Governor has thrown his
weight into one scale, in his message this
year. but the country members loom up more
heavily than usual on the other side, and the
prospect of any change of the existing law is
not encouraging. The large cities and the rural
districts are at as complete variance as ever !;
and at Albany even already the fight for
the Winter has grown lively. Perhaps the
most remarkable circumstance about it is
that the majority Of men who have made
up their minds on the subject, cannot see
that there is more than one side to it, and
deem it the hight of folly to hold views op-
posing their own. We propose sketching the
leading arguments for and against usury laws
The opposition to laws limiting the rate of
interest has had the advantage of support by
eminent writer's on political economy. Jeremy
Bentham's standard work, The Defense of
Usury, and the writings of John Stuart Mill,
who followed closely in his train of reasoning,
furnish the bulk of these arguments. Adam
CIllJu lccDly Jllt LAWS, DuJ
later in life yielded the principal grounds of
his defense. People who are willing to take
as the guide for American practice the con-
clusiOns which British pubicists consider best
for England, will not want authority for be-
lieving that usury laws are a relic of supersti-
ton; that they violate the inherent rights of
property by attempting to fix the price
of capital; that they are in the words Of Ben
than, the tacking of leading strings upon
"the backs of grown persons in order to pre-
event their doing themselves mischief" In
fact, principal argument with these writer's
is that person of age and of sound mind is
competent to conduct his own affairs. But
this course of reasoning would equally avail re-
specting all legislation against lotteries or any
other form of gambling. The defenders of
usury laws, replying. thus express in addition
a dread that the absence Of these laws would
facilitate gambling in loanable capital, as such
virtual absence in the Stock Exchange renders
possible gambling in stocks. They fear that
rings will be formed in loanablc capital, az have
been in gold and money. They say the abOli-
ton of the law would facilitate the whole
country iii running into deeper debt. The

New-York tribune., 1873-03-03
PEEORn IN BROORLYN

We regret to see District Attorney Britton
of Kings County replying to the charges Oh
corruption i'm office by scurrilous ABUSE Oh
the gentlemen selected to make them. lie has
further said that he has such consciousness OF
his own rectitude, and has been so long in the
city of Brooklyn, that be does not fear the
conspiracy which he alleges has been formed
against him. This is not the right spirit. Mr.
BrittOn cannot afford to disregard or ignore
these charges he cannot answer them Dy
scurrility; and past good character Is no reply
10 allegations so grave as these. We trust Tor
his own sake, but more for the honor and
safety of the county which he represents, that
Mr.. Britton has better answer in reserve.
The charges are serious ones. They are
based upon Investigations Of a committee OF
citizens of character, who, if they were slow
in action have been clear in their develop
ments of frauds, and unequivocal in their ex-
posures of them. The lawyers whom they have
selected to examine their proofs and frame
their charges are able and sagaci0us; together
they contrived, last year, to secure the only
convictions for oiienses against the purity OF
elections which we recall in many years; and
are not the mean antagonists Mr. Brtt0n al
fects TO consider them. These charges are
matters of official record; they are to have
judicial investigation; it is incumbent upon
the Committee of Fifty to prove them. or take
the serious consequences and it is just as I'M
portant to Mr.. BrittOn to confront them.
But the individual interest on either side is
matter of little moment when the importance
of the inquiry to the community is con-
sidered. The corruption of a Dstrict-Attor-
ney is as dangerous to justice as that of a
whole bench full of judges. He may by his
position contaminate the very fount of JUS
tice, and hence the whole stream. He stands
at the threshold of her temple, and may ad-
nit all that is foul. The last election in
Kings County Is supposed to have resulted in
the interest Of Reform; and certainly one or
two good and true men were returned to the
Bench. If it be true, as these charges allege,
that a corrupt District-AttOrney was put in
power at the same election, the good that
might have resulted from their success is
worse than thrown away. And in order that
that good may be secured-that the Reform
for which they labOred shall not miscarry-it
is demanded by the people of Brooklyn that
this investigation of Mr.. Britton's alleged Of
fenses shall be thorough.
Other charges have been made, almost SIM
ultaneously, but in the other Reform Commit
tee against other officials, who have, as al
legged, been fraudulently concerned in the
letting of street-sweeping contracts. The
facts, as we have already published them. are
clear as to the fraud. Now let it be known
who were guilty of it. The Committee has
heretofore attempted, but vainly, to suppress
these facts. They meet again tonight. Let
them make a virtue Of necessity and openly
investigate what there is no question is a
scheme to defraud the city, so that all citizens
may know who are the public robbers.
