THE NEV INTEREST Law.
To the Editor or The Tribune.
Gu On GnA,,rLnrr lno N N N Ii -

TO the Editor or The Tribune.
SIR: On Saturday last an article appeared
in your editorial columns relative TO he Interpretation
OF the new six Per Cent Interest bill, passed in May and
signed June 20, 1872 by the Governor. BY terms
OF the bill and last clause thereof 1t is distinctly
stated that this shall take effect January 1lsS0"
The reading OF the law which is amendatOry to that
in existence Is TO the minds OF very many somewhat
vague and ambiguous. This ambiguity seems to lie in
the following clause in the act excepting from its effect
All contracts and obligations made entered into
prior 20 the passage this act" And there those
among lenders OF money bond and mortgage who
fearful that they precuded from oanlng at per
cent interest between now and January l, $780, under
the above cited clause in the act
Now the bill distinctly states that the new law Tor
rather amendment to the existing law shall 20 into eff
feet January l. 1880 Hence must be apparent that
the old still ana will exist in all its terms until
date, after wbicn all loans must lie made
rate or Interest not TO exceed six cent Therefore
law be OF no practical value Till January l.
1880. Contracts entered into between this date and
only TO existing law, and whether made for fifty
wears at per cent interest legal and unassaable
The new law cannot until January l, 1880 alter the
present statute ota our wise legislators having
declared January $780, as the date when the new act
shall take effect unless the existing law DO re-
pealed which they have not done, or amended at once
which they have not dOneD make the new act eN post
facto. The Constitution and our laws forbid.
