It is not our nature to kick a fallen foe. We say, without the. slightest affectation, that we are sorry for Senator Ingalls, as he sits among the ruins of his political fortunes and broods over the darkening f utuae. Here is a man of rare, wonder ful gifts; a man, of marvelous powers of mind; a man of ac curate and liberal scholarship; a man of large knowledge of the political history of his coun try; a man of extended and pro found experience in all that per tains to legislative proceedure; a man of wonderful facility in the use of elegant and forceful language; a man whose oratory would not suffer greatly iu com parison with that of Burke or of Chatham; a man whose State has honored him for two decades of years with its highest posi tions of confluence ana trust, stricken down in the midst of his years and usefulness and left in a desolation that is al most pitiable. How comes it about that this man is so fallen and deserted? The answer is not far to seek."" : He undertook to maintain his own political aommancy, ana that of bis party, by appeals to the most ignoble passion of sec tional hate. For more than a dozen years has the eloquent tougue or this giant American been employed, as occasion might allow, in the Senate to blister, ana Diast, ana Diigni one whole section of his coun try. The man who had master ed so many ; things, and had forced himself forward into the front rank of the great men of his country, failed to master the fact a -act as old as the his tory of man that hate, how ever intense, can never be a foundation upon which an en- dunng superstructure of human usefulness can ne Duiuiea. oen- Imralls. fallen from his .n.,.An, nnnrta iaon ft mv villi a tration to be written upon the page 01 ni6iory, mai numan HAW IS numan nmuu, auu cannot endure, The topplinz down of this great impersonation of sectional bit terness only waited for the com ing cf some great movement which would act as a solvent of passion and prejudice. And such a movement came tn the form of the Farmers' Ala ance, with its evangel of equal richts for all. its eospel of in dustrial fraternity, its crusade against haughty aggregations of wealth and power; and lol the miehty embodiment of passion ard hate falls at its touch, as falls the house of cards at the magician's touch in the mimic show. The Alliance came with " declaration that iua country I ia AtiA and nil ritiTPriA fire brethren: and. straightway John James Ingalls, with his tongue of Uttering nre mine Senate oi the t tinea states, De came an impossibility. We do not hesitate to say, and we say it most earnestly, that we wan t our fellow-citizens of the South to learn the lesson that this srreat man's fall teach es, we want mem to icarn tnia without disaster, if they will, but learn it they mwt and thall, that the passions and prejudices begotten of the war shall not dominate our political and social life any longer. vuat our brethren of Kansas have done for Mr. Iniralls. we of the South inteud to do for all the old war leaders who show an incapacity to rise above the sectional ques tions which have so long divid ed and harmed our common country. We cannot live upon a regimen of hate and Ppite: and we shall show to the world that we will not longer try so to live. Again, we say that it is not in tin to exult over a fallen foe. We have only adverted to the overthrow of this man to point the UHcful lesson which it teach oa. V tnnat dovoutiv wish 1 that Mr. Ingalls may find it I possible to correct the one fatal mistake of his life, and so find J an entrance into some place of future usif ulness in his coun try's service.

And it ia equally as sound a prin ciple, that those who h.wemon eny to lend should nut be en-, cou raged by the low rate of in terest to send it out of the State for higher prioos, or . make ur the difference between the es tablished legal rate and the value of their money elsewhere by charging a bonus on what is loaned. Any law that tendst bring about bucIi a condition in business undermines the morals of society and is destructive of fair dealing. . It is important, then, that the legislator when exislating on the subject of in terest should keep in his mind the above principles, and with? hold his vote from the support of any measure the tendency ci which is to destroy respect for the law, and cultivate a feeling of insubordination to it. To de termine what the rata of inter est should be has always been a most difficult problem, and our wisest legislators have ever hesitated to change rates which are the result of long usage, nnd which practical experience has sanctioned and familiarized. It is difficult to foresee wbatreffect the legislation now conlem plated bv the General Assembly on the Bubject or interest wouia i have on business, out we lear the legislation on the line indi- cated by the pending bill would fail in accomplisiungthe object desired, and, at the same time, taint with illegality.

Not a thousand miles from Raleitrh live a justice of the peace, so the story goes, who is as conscientious as he is learn ed in the law, possibly more so, The case was an alleeed theft at a country dance of one derby hat valued at $1.50. The law . . am a ' yerson both sides agreed to dispense with the "twelve good men" and requested the justice to sit as jury.

Although we are at peace among our selves and with all the world, and have no foreign or domestic policy to make such an expen diture necessary, we are paying more than 1135,000,000 annuany to the soldiers of a war that closed twenty-five years ago. The payment oi reasonaDie pen sions, on account of wounds ac tually received and diseases actually contracted in the mili tary or naval forces in time of war, is just and right in itsen, and is, moreover, the wisest policy that can be adopted by a government which relies for its defense almost exclusively up on the voluntary sef vices of its citizens; but the gratuitous dis tribution of public money among certain classes of the people is neither just nor consistent with ii aaa-affaiaiiii mi n .
