Willisana Thome, a mem L. f thm TpUI At niw from the count v of Warren, ia the ouly while man to the Legislature that voted to bind out white I . children to neirroes. This same Thome It a Infidel, and the author of one of the impioua and blasphemous pamphlets wioed in the State. It is not strange, that be votes to degrade poor white children. JCB, PINNLX OF DAVIDSON. While every member of the Legislature who voted for the Usury Bill is entitled to the gratitude of bis constituents, too much praise can not be bestowed upon Cr. Pionix, of Davidson, for his masterly effort in advocating its Passage.. Mr. P'mnix success fully met every legal objection, raided by the opponents of the measure, and proved himself in debate the equal of any member of rhs House- -nsJ-t. i Sanaa tor i iuiu i An effort is now to be made to put through the Legislature a suppliujentary bill to stave off the operation of the Usnry Jaw, josf passed, several months or a year. Will a Legislature that has bad the man liness, courage, and good sense, to pss a bill of such vital importance, turn round and trammel its action to such an extent as to render inoperative the Usury law until the work of oppression and ruin has been completed ? We do not believe it. Gentlemen, let your work stand, if the heavens fall. We want some of oar solons in the Legislature to introduce "Au Act to be entitled and Act for the better protection of owners of Chickens," for it is getting to he a serious matter to keep them, dep redations on hen-roosts are of nightly ocs carrence, and the thieves are getting real J r scientific about it. This week a lady friend of ours lost all her chicken, for the seccond time recently, and the door was found safely locked, just as she left it, snd the chickens all gone. Oh ! for the whipping post ! tyThe Raleigh Newa thinks we will be in better humor with the Legislature now that it has passed the Usury law. We pave not been out of humor with the Leg islature : We have expressed the opiu Ion that it was taking up too much time 00 trifling matters. Our opinion hap not been change by the passage of the Usury Jaw, though we regard that act as of very great importance, and we are ready to accord the Legislature all honor for it. Messrs. Pinnix, of Davidson, and Staples, of Guildford, especially, and in fact all that favored and voted for the measure have done au act of which they may well feel proud. Jjsjr There are no liberal minded peo pie in the country now, except the money lending clique and anti-usury law men They alone are capable of discussing tbelwar if the rump Congress pass the Civil IT. .2 IS1 . i -1 I . . . ... .... . usury question in an enlightened aud j reasonable way. They can explain how I a a . . I money is notning more than an article tl merchandise, notwithstanding ite amount is limited by law, and it can be gathered up by a few men and used to the injury and for the oppression of the whole conn- try. They ajone cau tell bow it is better for men to pay 15 and 20 per cent than 6 and 8 when they are compelled to hor- TOW. 1 hey talk about feelinc and nrpin. dice. 11 ut thev do not think tlu-v talking non-sense merely. ' w I We are glad to see that Mr. Men dcuhall, of Guildford, has introduced resolution in the Legislature, looking to a further exposition and punishment of the acoundrelism and scouudrels already par tisJly exposed by the fiargg and Shipp Committees. We do sincerely hope that there will be uo child ' play about this matter, but that it will be pushed so as to bring to condign punishment every indi vidual in any way implicated in the frauds perpetrated upon the State, whether Pads, Conservatives or Democrats. It is believed that this matter has not been properly pressed, and that past Oonser valive Legislatures have permitted things to remain covered up that should have been exposed. Let the work begun, be carried out in good faith, and let all the rascals be made known. t We regret to sea the persistent effort on the part of certatu writers to heap contumely upon Senator Merrimon, and to cast needless reflections upou him whenever his name is mentioned in con nection with that of ex-Go v. Vance. This bitter spirit of persecution which has its origin in the fact that Merrimon beat Vance tor the Senate, ia doiug great damage, Uot only to the peace and harmony of the party, but to Mr. V auce. There are some things that it would be probably as wall to let alone, and this is ooo of them. There is a great deal that cau bo said on f his subjastj bus at we do not profess to be Ittb auompiuu of either of the gentle men referred to, we will take the liberty to suggest thu the breach is wideuing and that calling one a scouudrel Joes not make every body bejieye that the other i Pot. THE CONGRESSIONAL AD DRESS It is our painful duty, as a faithful ahronielcr of events, to publish to day another evidence of the . subserviency of the so-called Conservative leaders, and the humiliating and helpless condition of the South. We had begun to think that the members of Congress from the South were the com peers of those from the -- , -F wwu"- J s il . t . v . . .a. a. -"- it necessary to give cqior or w .i -i -i i r i ... A k III viie siunuui ui vut pi-upie uiicf cu uj such cowardly bullies and blackguards as Butler, Morton, Carpenter and others in Congress for political effect. We thought that the Democrats were in Congress to demand equal rights for the people of all sections under the Constitution, and to accept notbjug less. But alas for our poor down-trodden country, we have been mistaken. The South and the West are represented iu Congress for.anotber pur pose. The object seems to be to teach the unarmed, "defenseless people of the South to eat dirt to persuade the bravest, truest, most peaceable and law-abiding people on earth and of America to cower and tremolo before not only their wjrst m liberly enemies, and the worst enemies of civil and republican, institutions, but the vilest and most reckless faction of revolutionist that ever shed blood or plot ted treason agajust free government. Are not the people of the South more quiet and orderly than those of any other section of these United States? Is there not less lawlessness, less crime, less rowdy ism among them than is to be found any where else ? These questions can be an swered truthfully in the affirmative. Then, where is the need of the advice to keep quiet ? Does it nt imply that our enemies told the truth, when they said, that we are thieves, cut-throats, murderers ? Surely the South has stooped as low as any people ought to do for the sake of peace and good government, why insist then on them falling down upon their knfees and still further degrading them selves every time a venal set of vindic tive blackguards and political intriguers cry out rebel ? These plotters aud traitors are laughing in their sleeves at the con sternation they produce by one blast of their bugle. For our own part we are sick and tired of 5 these Congressional addresses, these so-called waruiugs these pathetical and paternal counselings. Iu the uame of heaven have we not borne every insult, wrong and oppression it is possible to inflict upon a people ? We have been effectually robbed and ruined. We say let the devils do their worst, a people that have stood what we have can't be worsted. But the plea is, as it has been for the last ten years, let us bear a little while longer for the sake of liberty. Why we are doing nothing to oppose or hiuder the cause of liberty. We are peaceable aud quiet and are ready to leud a helping hahd to all measures promotive of the cause of liberty aud good government. But self-stultifi cation, sel degradation and cringing never yet helped the cause of liberty or secured good government. Nobody down South proposes to go to Rights bill, the Enforcement bill or anv other one of the damnable abominations I with which we are threatened. Whv then this disinterested advice to the 8onth? Are we not all. North and South, in the same ship together ? We can stand ex- treme xieasures much better than the North : and then it will reouira snmn such extreme measures as are nrnnnaad bring the North to its senses.

These addresses remind us of a parcel of whimpering felons who are pleading to escape merited punishment, aud we hope to see no more of them. Are the Southern people indeed banditti ? If the Demo cratic representatives in Congress ean not defend civil and constitutional liberty in a more manly, efficient, and dignified way than by counsel ing abiect submission to "the reckless rule of hate and treason, all we have got to say is, that what liberty there is left is not worth defending, and it might as well be abandoned. Ten years after surrendering all we had to satisfy northern hate and vengeance, we are sti!l pleading for mercy, for liberty, for existence r Where is all this to end ? When will we get to the bottom of this sink Z or out of this Slough cf Despond ? noTer oy irncKiiog to our tears, or con. doniug the crimes of our mortal enemies. Then let us resolve to yield ouly a forced acquiescence to the degrading measures that may be imposed, cultivate peace and harmony among onr own people, endea vor to control to the best advantage our own internal affairs, and have as little to do with the Federal government aud lahkeedom as poasiple.

After a long aud severe struggle be tween the members of the Legislature pro V-fflKk, a. ... aa II at con, the Usury bill was finally passed last Friday, and goes into effect as a law m -i 1 I nn A .L . 01 me lanu ju uays Miercuiwrr. I We congratulate the Legislature and the people upon the passage of this bill, t-IT J !. a . I e regai a it as or very great iiuporisucr, ,.i il.-t ;,. t.fr.-t it-iil hn MiP atuvs ivitvrv w vaavww w er.dl ration W pro.p.ril7 . ,b. Statu and people. The only damaging effect it can possi bly have will be the uasieuiiiir of tho evil day that the previous system of couven tioual interest has assured. There will be some sacrificed, but a system of nsury so montroos iu all its ram Unctions most of necessity have victims. Those who have borrowed money at usurious rates will be sold out, it those whose rapidity and avarice they have served will it : but the selling out was ouly a question of time, and perhaps the sooner the better, as, bung relieved of the burdens of ex eessive usury, they may devote the re mainder of their natural lives to tho repairing of the ruin which has been wrought. But will those who have been reaping such rich harvest on their money proceed to kill the goose that laid the golden egg, merely to gratify a spirit of resentment aroused at the passage of this bill ? or for any other reason t It is to be hoped not ; and we do not believe they will as a general thing. We have a bet ter oppinion of humanity, however mon strous and wicked the crime of exacting usurious interest. As the natural tendency of the usury system we have had fcr several years past, has been to oppress, trammel and ruin all who touched it, uo immediate relief by the new system should be expected, as restoration must come gradually. Still the hundreds and thousands who will be saved by the timely passage of this set from the ruin which the previous system has inflicted upon many, is of itself enough to fill the heart of every true friend of our people with gratitude. While 6 or 8 per cent, does not appear to be exorbitant, yet it is as much as any one cau pay for money to farm or carry on any other business with and prosper. In fact, few can pay this much and make ends meet. Since it is as much as the borrower can possibly stand, aud a hand some reveuue to the lender, why should uot all he satisfied to shake hands over the law and resolve to unite in a common effort to promote the general prosperity of the whole peopje under it ? Even those benefitted by excessive usury, admit its evil effect upon the people at large. Then it must be evident that just iu proportion as the evil tendeucy of such a system is curtailed, will good result. We there fore anticipate many good results from the passage into a law of the bill which we give iu another column It is unnecessary -m v iliot WA lieve it will be faithfully observed bv our J j w i neonle 1 r r i-Sf" The Charlotte Democrat I earn - - j from a report of the Internal Improvement Committee which bad under investigation a. . the charges of Judge Onderdouk against tho managers und owners of tbe Carolina Central Railroad, that the charges were uot sustained. We don't know much about how this investigation was conducted, but it looks to os very like a one-sided affair. Judge Onderdouk was not before the Committee, and in fact but few, it any, of the witues ses that were supposed to know any thiug of the truth of his charges. Jndge Onderdouk ask?d that a commit tee be sent to New York to take evidence of such meu as he would suggest, as they could not be forced to come to North Carolina. This was not done : and tha j - ' people will be apt to think the whole investigation, if not wholly a whitewash, ing affair, a very partial and unsatisfacto ry one. We respectfully submit that there has been a little too much of this loose way of investigating rail road matters. The stock-holders of nearly every road iu the State have either been swindled out of their stock, or forced to take whatever the rings pleased lo give them for it. Not only private individuals, but the State has also been as badly plundered. There have been a great many socalled iu ves tigating Committees appointed to look into these robberies yet there has been nobody puuished, save poor Jones. There is something rotten in a system, that is no more efficient in its efforts to protect the people aud the State from public robbery. Is it the system or those intrntad wit I. its execution ? It is earnestly hoped that our present legislature will inaugurate a more effid eut aud thorough system of investigation ao as to probe tbe great evil to the core.

Lei every white man in every neighborhood iu the whole South regard himself as a commissioner of -peace, maintaining the kindliest relations towards the blavk man, remembering that the responsibility for the extreme poverty to which we have been reduced aud the corrupt governments to which his vote has subjected us rests not so much upon him as upon the bad me.i who, with the assurance of .

While we labor by all honest means to convince him ot the truth that our interests aud bis are identical, aud that both must be preserved by good government, aud that those who stir up strife between us are the enemies of both races. Let us at the same time see that he is fully protect ed in his guaranteed rights to vote as he pleases in aU elections. Let us continue to deal wiih him honestly and fairly, aud let us continue cordially to invite to our midst, those of every political party who seek to know the truth or to hud homes upon our soil.
