\ BILL Is pending before the Legislature
relative 10 the repeal of The usury laws of
this Commonwealth. 1t was discovered
during last week, that printed circulars,
Purporting to be signed by r. II, Gibbons
and r. L. Saunders, had been sent through
the harrisburg post-of1ico to the different
banks and bankers of the State, asking for
contributions OF money to be sent L, the
Aforesaid Gibbons and Saunders. at that
place, to be used in procuring the passage
OF the bill. A committee Of the Legisla-
ture wac appointed to investigate the mat
ter, before which a large mum Der of wit
hosses were examined, mainly for the pur-
pose of asccrtaiuiug who Gibbons and
Saunders were and if they really had To-
cal habitation, as they pretended to have.
at Harrisburg. On Saturday last, ". H.
D!Hlmick, member OF the House from the
counties OF Wayne and Pike, and !. Mon
roe hIelter, real estate agent in Harris
burg, were arrested Is being the Gibbons
and Saunders whose names were attached
% the circulars. They each eulsred bail
III the sum of $1,000 for their appearance
at Court in the Eastern District at PLIs-
delpCla, in May next, for violating the ms
tai laws by transmitting and recciyiner mail
matter for purposes OF fraud. The iafor-
nation against Dimmick and Kreiter was
made by George Eergner, Postmaster at
Harrisburg, fcr violation of the postal
laws, as before stated.
On Monday last, Mr.. Dimmick, in let
ter to the Speaker of the HOUSE, resigned
his scat as n member of that body. OF
courss lac requests suspension of public
opinion, which, as Doctor johnson said
about the cant of patriotism, is the last re-
fuge of a scoundrel. In his letter of resig
nation he protests his innocence. and mild
ly asserts that I.e has chosen to make no
defence before the honorable committee of
ibis House appointed to inquire into this
ease What a lame and impotent conclu-
sion Ii ne Is innocent, why refuse 10 ap-
pear before one OF hundred committees
and meet the charge boldly. like an honest

WHY WE HAVE TO SUFFER.

We learn from a gentleman, just arrived
from New York, that before leaving for
New Orleans ne called upon the bankers
and capitalists, whom lie knew held some
Of the Louisiana bonds, and solicited from
them subscriptions for the overlooked suf-
ferers Of this State. In every instance, how
ever, they refused to contribute a dollar,
giving as an excuse the bad faith of the
people Of Louisiana in repudiating their
bonds.
How far responsible the people Of this
State are for the legislation of Kellogg's
administration, intelligent men like Henry
Clews of New York ought to know. If our
people are to be held amenable for all the
crimes and offenses committed by Kellogg,
then Indeed we may abandon all hope, and
it would be far better for us to leave the
State entirely in the possession OF the
negroes and carpet baggers, who are main
tanned in authority by the strong arm OF the
National Government. Until the white and
decent people of Louisiana obtain control
of the Government, Northern capitalists
should not visit their wrath upon our heads
and withhold from the suffering poor that
liberal assistance for which New Workers, in
the past, have been noted.

BANK STATEMENTS.

The unprecented depreciation of bank
stocks, resulting from disastrous panic,
opens field for speculation upon the proper
course to be pursued to recover, as far as
possible, that confidence SO essential to the
successful workings of the banking institu-
tons of this city.
From what is known of the actual value
Of the portfolios of fully the majority of
banks the nominal figures quoted for the
same in our regular financial column are
decidedly too low! If these institutions
claim soldity as a basis for the enhance
meut Of values, cannot some means be
adopted other than the stereotyped bank
statements by which the public may judge
for themselves!
What is needed to convince a community
whose lack of confidence in everything is so
obvious, is not statement placing the as
sets of concern at cost, but at actual mar
ket value at the time of publishing.
Let our banks, who by the way, we do
not propose to censure, in their official
monthly statements for the benefit Of the
incredulous, attach the market valuation to
their assets. In this way the public will
then have some idea of what should be the
actual market valuation Of their stock.
