USURY AND NATIONAL BANKS
New York Journal of Commerce.
The old Bourbons (whether in church or
State) learn nothing and forget nothing.
We have just receiyed from a very intelli
gent bank officer in North Carolina a copy
of the Usury law which has recently been
adopted in that State. It is a most extra
ordinary enactment a disgrace to the Com
monwealth and an open defiance to the
proper and decorous public sentiment of the
age. We have heretofore given in oar
columns a complete synopsis of its provis
ions. It fixes the rate of interest at six per
cent, where there is no specifio agreement,
but allows a written contract "so great as
eight per cent." (some o their colored leg
islators must have drawn that !), and forfeits
not merely the principal of a loan when
more than eight per cent, is taken, bat
double the value of such principal, and sub-
lects the offender, besides, to a fine not less
than one hundred uor more than one thous
and dollars. North Carolina may now go to the

rates at ten per cent, per annum, and money
is worth one per cent, a month in New York,
no man in Noith Carolina can lend his mon
ey to people of his own State at the market
rate without violoating the law. We i
know that this statute will be a dead letter.
The usury laws are inoperative everywhere
in tne way ot restraint upon high rates. In
fact, they tend in every case to increase the
rates, and they are no protection whatever
to the honest poor, as they are never plended
in toe courts except as a cover to fraud or
disreputable dealing. We wish that they
were strictly enforced, for then they would
be repealed everywhere at the earliest op
portunity. If borrowers found that the
moment the current rate was above the le
gal limit all lending stopped, or was confined
entirely to such eases as the lenders might
be willing to accent at the lower figures,
they would seethe folly and injustice of the
attempted restraint, and free trade in money
would be restored

capital, who look this matter la the Case aid

No doubt there are those nearer loses who
entertain the sentiments espressos' by the

Now we think the legislators who passed

The above questions sre prompted by the
fact that the members of tbe Legislature of

decided thai tbe penalties of the State usury
law do apply to the national banks, although
Congress, the National Bank att provided
much milder penalty for those institutions.
It has also gone much farther, for ia the case
of the F srtnera' Bank Fayetteville, respon

cided (Church, Chief Judge, giving the opin

same penalties, notwithstanding a special stat
ute applying to a milder system to such State
organizations. This statute was based upon
the belief that tbe act of Congress relieved
the national banks from the penalties of the
State law. The Legislature therefore ap
plied the provisions contained in the act of
Congress to the State banks, declaring that

that I have given it a fair, and, as I think, a thorough test, and believe it to be one of the best e . , . " t, you
fertihxers now in use in our country. Jn tbe month of t ebruary 1 nought two tons snd applied
it over my farm at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre under Cotton, 'and 100 poondsto the acre on
Corn. On the 8th of October I picked from one row of Cotton 14 rods long, which had been
fertilised st the above rate, 8 pounds of seed cotton ; from another immediately by the side of
this one, of the same length, to which I had applied no fertiliser, I picked 1 J ounces the same
day showinga difference of over 8500 per cent, between bind fertilised and not. I counted the
number of unopened bolls in each, and making calculation on this basis, I find that the land
without the Guanahani would yield 30 ounces to the row, 80 rows or 150 pounds to the acre ;
with Guanahani it will yield 12 pounds to the row, 80 rows or 960 pounds to tbe acre snowing
s difference of over 600 per cent.
I hsve not had an opportunity to test the Corn yet, but front general observation, I feel war
ranted in making the statement that Guanahani has benefited my Corn at least 100 per cent.
On one acre of ground, as a test, I sowed 400 pounds of Uuanahani broadcast, subsoiling at
the same time 15 inches deep. This acre, under ordinary circumstances, has average 700 pounds
of seed cotton ; this year tbe yield will be at least 1800 pounds . A. PROPST.

Then the mother leaned over the cradle,
and smoothing the thin hair from the
pallid forehead, said with a pathos indes
cribable "Mother's done all she can for

A brief silence which seemed an age
of waiting, then a little gasp, a small
parting of the lips and the little one had
crossed the river, aud was forever with the
Lord.
The mother's duty was all done, and
her heart, though grief -stricken, was at
rest. But are there no mothers, who, if
their little ones were taken suddenly
away, nave to mourn tor many nndoue
duties? There are those who hardly
know their children till they are grown;
there are those who only think of the care
and labor which children bring to them ;
there are some who have no thought for
tbe spiritual welfare of those most dear ;

Treatment of Horses.
When the lees of horses swell from
standing in the stable, it is evidenee of
debility, general or local. It would be
well to increase the food in quantity or
quality. The following might also be of
use, viz : Powdered sulphate of iron, one
and one-half ounces ; gentian root, two
ounces ; chlorate of potassa, one ounce ;
mix and divide into twelve powders. One
of these given in cot feed aa little moisten
ed as possible, night and morning.
Ground oats would be better for food than
corn. Friction by rubbing with a coarse
woolen cloth upon the parts affected would
also be found beneficial.

other States. The most noticeable, in tbe

case first alluded to above (First National

adverse opinion. The Massachusetts Judge
(Morton) declares that "notwithstanding the
great respect we have for that eniiuent trib
unal (New York Court of Appeals) we are
unable to concur in the eoncluaions it has
reached." The court then decided that only
the penalties of the national act applied to
the national banks. This, let it be remem
bered, was note Massachusetts case, for that
State is free from such odious restraints on
money lending, but a New York case, gov
erned by New York law, bnt tried in a Mas
sachusetts court. That court took the re
sponsibility of interpreting our law in opposi
tion to the desision of our highest court.
In Ohio the same conclusion was reached
in the case of the First National Bank of
Columbus v. Garliug-house, 10 Am. Rep.
751 ; 22 Ohio St. 492. The same diversity
is found in the decisions of other States, but
the preponderance favors tbe Massachusetts
decision.

The Usury laws are founded on ignorance
and prejudice. They are unjust in principle,
totally inequitable in their application, and
everywhere operative only as a protection to
fraud and dishonesty."
We copy the above from the Wilmington
Star in order that onr readers may see in
what esteem the North Carolina Legislature
and tbe people, who go with that body, are
held by the president of a bank and the New
York Journal of Commerce, as well as for
the information it eon tains.
The president of the bank, in his letter to
the New York paper, declares that the mem

they passed the usury law. We suppose- all
money lords who have grown fat and sleek

McLean, of Texas, went for him tell

John Youxu Brown, of Kentucky,
told him be was pusillanimous iu war,
inhuman iu peace, forbidden iu morals,
and infamous in politics.
Blaine, of Maine, no longer ago than
Saturday night, told him he was a "damn

And now comes Poland, of Vermont,
an elegant old gentleman of the old
school, who wears a tlue swallow-tail
coat, with brass but toon, and in language
strong bnt leas elegant than his dress tells
the Beast that he is a "damned liar."
Here is what Polasd said :
The Washington correspondent of the

Butler had impudently ssid to Polamd
that be did not believe that tbe Utter had
aoy desire or intention to bring np his
