JUDGE WooDBURY's DEcs1oN.- Judge
Woodbury. gave his decision in the dog or
dinsnce case last Tuesday morning. He
claimed that the ordinance, did not conflict
with the Constitution of the State, but as
no provision had ever been made by the
General Assembly granting such power to
municipal corporations, the ordinance
could not legally be enforced.
As the injunctionis is sustained. the next
thing in order is for the Council to refund
the dollars paid by 121 dog owners and re-
peal the ordinance. The dog owners in
Cleveland and other cities where the same
ordinance has been enforced may now
gather courage from the decision of Judge
Woodbury. for the recovery of the license
money paid by them. Why the question
of the legalityofsueh an sordipa6ce, has
not been raised before is wonder, bat it
is evident that if an effort is again made to
'enfOrceit iuany of our sister cities it will
meetwith strong opposition. Z

banks, Ia 3 per cent, according to the
Controllers last report. No bank can
pay this rate Of taxation and lend money
att U per cent-eSpeCially at this time
when good paper is not plenty. The
law must therefore fail so far as the
banks are concerned. That il will fail
we have no doubt. Whether National
banks are liable to any State penalty ia u
matter Of doubt, They derive their
charters from the government and are
operated under the currency actS Of the
United States, II we are not mistaken q
case arose in New York State where the
penalty for usury under the laws Of that
State were sought to he enforced against
National bank, and where the Court
held that penalty having been pre-.
scribed by act Of Congress no other pen.
atty could he enforced under State law.
The law Of usury, written and unwrit.
ten, is queer law. There are two sorts
OF public opinion to deal with. Public
opinion is generally prejudiced against
the money lending business, especially the
Shaving" business. To call man "a
"money shaver" is to give him n very
bad name indeed in the community. On
the other hand, public opinion does not
uphold, or even tolerate, Il man who
pleads usury on contract. People look
upon him with suspicion, and the fact is
told to his prejudice by all his enemies
Tor years afterwards. This shows that
there ia in mankind AN inherent sense Of
di-irnst aud dislike for the repndiator
Of contracts, even although there Is at
the same time very decided prejudice
against the other man who holds his con .
tract for the payment Of a high rate Of
interest,
The law as now enacted will Of course
stand for the next two years, and during
that time we will have an opportunity to
see what remedial effects it will produce
upon the fortunes Of the people. As re-
CARDS the banks, we venture the opinion
that 1t will not reduce the rate of interest
to per cent.

TheIss-Y law Of West Virginia has

and that all excess over that rate shall
bevoid and yoidable at law. There was

additional forfeiture OF either interest or
principal.
The Law Just enacted by the Legislature
forleits all interest where any excess over

One More Day.

The iilibusters were badly discounted
yesterday. The dispatch from the Demo,
cratic Sympathizers in the West Virginia
Legislature had no appreciablo result
save to cause Mr.. Faulkner to vote with
the party Of obstruction. But even his
name had no charms for the majority
and despite all efforts to prevent the
count from proceeding it progressed far
enough TO dispose Of South Carolina
Tennessee and Texas. As was expected,
halt was called on Vermont. That great
American idiot, Hewitt, was on hands
with aset Of returns from Vermont, sent
to him privately, that he wished to have
counted. Springer, too, was on hand in

Speaker Randall continues to rub
against the anarchists. Both he and
Fernando Wood appear to have deserted
them. They are apparently trying to
atone for having made fools Of themselve,
early in the session. They represent the
cities of Philadelphia aud New York, and
there is business pressure upon them
that they feel, The situation has bcrome
too serious to admit Of longer co opera
ton on their part with n lot Of desperate
politicians.
We are quite hopeful that the count
will be finished to-day, The action Of
the House yesterday means business
The obstructionists are demoralIzed, AM
they will be finally dispoaei Of before an
