THK CSUHY AUlTATION.
No question has excited more gen
eral interest in North Carolina since
the election last year than the agita
tion in favor of more stringent laws
concerning usury. The passage of
such a measure through the Senate
has aiqused many business and agri
cultural communities. Ihe masses
of the people j ho - Have not hereto
fore "irf Stigated the .subject for
themselves, but have been content to
accept loose theories based on super
! ticial grounds are beginning to ap
preciate the danger to the material
interests of the Slate if the Legisla
ture shall declare relentless war upon
capital and drive it from the JState.
We trust ttiis.awakening of interest
will Lot be too late to accomplish tha
defeat of the ruinous measure.
It will be seen by reference to our
special dispatches that the Senate
bill was again considered in the
House yesterday without action. If
the House will pause until the peo
ple can be heard from, it will hardly
pass the bill,-unless itdesires to defy
public opinion and recklessly sacri
fice public interests. '

We are inclined to attacn: more

The equalization of the value of
money cannot be benencial to one
class and injurious to another class.
Our country friends have no difficulty
in understating that of any com
modity the consumption necessarily
governs the price. Ifan increased
corn crop should reduce the price of
corn a larger number of money lenders
would necessarily correspondingly re
duce the interest on money. The nat
ural law is the same. Money is mer
chandised It is to the inteiest of the
farmer alike with the merchant that
the price of money should be low
when he wishes to borrow: and com
petition would bring about this re
sult. . There are many, men who now
horde money in bauk vaults and re
ceive sis per cent., who would gladly
accommodate their neighbors at 10
per cent.; if at liberty to contract so.

which we print as a matter of decided local
interest: jjj j
To the Bepublican Voters if the City of Wil-
mington: . jjj
The Democratic Legislature of this State,
has for the third time attempted to subvert
the principles upon which popular govern
ment is basedJ and to deprive - you of the
privileges conferred by the Constitution of
the "United States and of this State, in the
control of the municipal affairs of this city,
where you have a very; large majority of
voters. On the previous occasions you
have defeated their attempts by tne exer
cise of the ballot, and have maintained your
ascendancy. .Enraged by their lauures,
they have thrown aside all legal restraints,
and by a. late act, they porpote to give to
. . s J 1
twenty-two nunarea rtepuoucaos oniy one'
third the share in the management ofrour
municipal affairs which they give to three
bundred and seventy-five Democrats.
' In order to signify your condemnation of
this last measure, to avoid complicity in
this gross invasion of your guaranteed
rights, and to defeat a j measure fraught
with peril to your liberties, we recommend
that every Republican in the city absolutely
and positively refuse to have part or lot in
tne so-called registration; and tue election
provided to be held on the 11th of March
next. It is our judgmentibat no Republi
can who properly regards hia rights under
the Constitution, or his own" self respect or
the integrity of bis party, can eitner as a
registrar, poll holder or voter participate in
this glaring fraud, lo tins (end, tnerefore,
we earnestly request youl ; to abstain from
visiting the places where the registration
books are kept, or from (countenancing in
any manner, this so-called election, and on
the lltb of Marcn to Keep away from the
polls. .Let those who initiated these pro
ceedings, and who will now venture to at
tempt their consummation, take the entire
responsibility, while you trust to legal meas
ures to remedy the iniquity, i
And we especially enioin upon all, as
good and law-abiding citizens, to refrain
from language which might cause excite
ment, and from any word or act which
might provoke disturbance; and let us all
give an example of calmness and obedience
to law, trusting to an ultimate vindication
before the proper legal tribunal. Do this
and all will be -well. -

The Water Deepening! on the Bar.
We are glad to learn by a letter from
Capt. WJ. Potter, which reached us a day
behind owing to some unknown mishap,
that the water upon the ; bar is becoming
deeper. - Capt.-. Potter writes that the steam
tug Alpha on the 8th towed the German
barque 'Fear Not over Bald Head channel,
the barque at the time drawing 1(1 feet
inches. German measurement, which is
equal to fully 16 feet 8 inches of the Ameri
can standard. Mr. Elijah Piver, a pilot,
was in charge of the tug and Mr, Wm. Sel
lers was the pilot in charge of the barque
Fear Not. This is thought to be the deepest
water upon tbe.bar within 60 or 80 years,
and is an eviaCice of the: thoroughness of
the work of the Bar Improvements which
has been going on for some time. (Hie work
is still progressing favwrably. j v !

A Word of Commendation
The Raleigh News says of the meeting! of
business men and farmers to protest against
the usury bill pending in the Legislature,
held in this city last Monday night: "The
Legislature will not listen to dictation as to
its duties, but will without doubt give re
spectful consideration to .views so well ex
pressed and so impregnably sustained as
those will be by the Wilmington delega
tion."
Mr. Hlden to Leeture at IiUmberten.
The Eobesonian says: "We are gratified
to be able to announce that Rev. J. C. Hi-
den, of Wilmington, who has consented to
deliver a lecture before the Young Men's
Christian Association in the Presbyterian
church in this town on the night of the 17th
inst., and will preach in the-Baptisi.church
on the day following. We promise him
large audiences on both occasions."

The Postal Scale Contract.
We recently allBded to the fact that the award of
the con 1 1 act ) or Joet office t-cales to Messrs. Fair
banks A Ce. had given sat'sfaction to the trade and
the public generally. The following commuaication
is important in this connection:
: ; i Washington, D. C, Jan. 30, 1875.
To tht Editor of the New York Express : j
Srat In a late number of your paper I notice : an
article headed: i
J "LARGEST SCALE CONTBACT EVER AWARDED."
In ibis on refer to the fact that 3,000 or 4,000
postofflces had to be supplied with scales in a very
short space of time, and the satisfaction it- gave th
public generally that the contract was given to the
champion scale makers ot the world," Fairbanks
A i o. As the officer in charge of the di'ttihution of
these thousands of scales, by order of the Postmaster-General,
I take pleasure in reporting the result
not that any new event can add to the now world
wide fame of the airbanks' tanaard scales. You
say nms is the largest contract ror scales ever
awarded," to which 1 add th;.t it has its parallel
shown in the capability and energy with which it
was carrier out. r The uepartmeurs order and lists
desii at ng the kind of scales and offices to be sap
plied, fonud every eca e of the thousands required
made, ooxed and ready for shipment.
To the letter of the advertisement was the contract
filled, and hut one voice comes like an echo back
from the people all over the country, and th't is.
all are satisfied and gratia, d that they are furnished
with scales of the reliable brand of the house of
Fairbanks. . . i ' " i .
