the Usury Ell.

Many inquiries having been made re-
garding the fate of the uSury bills intro
duced into the last Legislature, the Farm
er furnishes the information required in i;s
issue Of February 18th. Two bills were
introduced to reduce the rates of interest:
House Bill No. 4s. by r. II. Tyson, aud
House Bill No. 81, by Mr.. Bradley! The
first was Withdrawn or postponed indeti-
nitely in favor OF the latter. After the
second reading of II. B. 81, it was referred
to select committee OF five, consisting of
Messrs. Bradley, Ramsby, Rinehart, Car
ter and Fountain. A majority OF this COM
mittee made report on the 9th of Octo-
Der, favoring7 Z per cent. on special coll
tract, while the minority, consisting of
Ramsby and Rinehart, reported liz favor
offs per cent. as the legal rate, with II per
cent. allowable on special contract. The
House by vote of 16 to 81 refused to
vote of 20 to Is refused to amend the ma
jority report, only seven being absent.
Toward the close of the session the bill
came up for passage, and received 30 votes
ont of total present of 4S, thus failing to
pass because the State Constitution requires
thai majority of the whole Legislature
must be obtained 70 pass a bill. One more
vote would have secured its passage in the
House. Those voting against the passage
of the bill were Messrs. Bennett, Beckley,
Cole, Chandler, Curtis, Campbell, Doris,
EYerts; Gates, Gilbert, Hewitt, Lee, Pur-
din, Rinebart, Reeves, Stearns, Thomp-
son and Wright-1S. Asseut-Messrs.
Acton, Broback, ChehGweth, Caldwell,
Fretlandi Green, Hughes, Hamilton, john
son, Mathieu. Strattun and Webdell-12.
It is:beliefed that if some of those who were
absent had been in their seats OH the occa-
sion, the bill vaou.d bave passed the House.
OF Tie members of Linn county, one Of
them, c. II. Hewitt, voted against the bill ;
AIR. Hamilton was absent, and the remain
ing members voted in favor of the bill.
This usury matter was then and is now
one of great moment to the voters of Ore
gon. great majority of whom are OPP
posed to the present high rate OF interest,
as so long as it remains unchanged upon
our statute books, just so long Will it re-
tarl the inaugurating and building up OF
manufacturing and other industries i'll our
State. just as long as capitalists can OBJ
tain twelve per cent. tor their money, they
viii never Invest in enterprises so greatly
demanded in developing the resources and
wealth of the state, because legitimate
enterprises seldom pay SO large per cent.
1t is well enough to know who is for us
and who is against US as we meander
along.

They say our time has COM around,
And the boys must give up the ground
They put on their smiling faces,
Comb their hair and arrange their laccs
And talk of their beaux in different places.
They pitch their chat at lad of sixteen,
And say she is the man and not a bit green
For he kissed me last night and called ne a
queen.

To the maids that are trying Il husbund to
find
For some ofthem are nearing tw"nty-ninc.

Aud Only %aat TO lead you by the nose.
For they are gentle as dove
And only want you for to love
While travelling to their home above.

From Il Washington telegram Satur-
day: Mr.. IIOuk (renn.) replied to the
speech made some time ago by Mr..
House (Tenn.), in which that gentleman
had opcLed the Tilden campaign aud
had SO fOrcibly reiterated the cry of
fraud. iIe denied that the gentleman
had expressed the sentiment Of the
people of Tennessee, if he had express
ed that Of his party. His speech wonid
stand as Il lasting monument to the
yitiated taste and malignant hate of
that party. The country was told that
there had been no loyalty in the south
during the war, and it had been told by
coppertlcHds Of the north, the most
veuomous Serpeuts In the world. lie
asserted that there hId been many 10y
al men in the south, and that that Sec
ton had furnished the federal army
With nearly half million men. 1t
seemed that this service was to be for
gotten and the rilAen campaign .pSos-
ccuted on the policy that friendship TO
the union was to be regarded as II
badge of political infamy ard social dis
honor. His colleague, Mr.. House, had
attacked the President. lie would not
attempt to defend the President, for
that officer needed no defense. For his
colleague to assert that President Hayes
had been i~Raugurated by fraud was
equivalent to making the addition that
the Democratic party had been brave
enough in 1861 20 force the war without
Il cause but too eowardly to do so in
1877 when 1t IS said that the President
had been counted III by unconditional
fraud. How had the mighty fallen
