THE USURY BILL,
was taken up and the discussion re
sumed on Mr. Means' amendment. .
Mr. Boyd first took the floor in
support of the amendment, He was
in favor of a usury law, provided it
did not discriminate in 'favor of cor
porations against individuals.
Mr. Moring followed Mr. Boyd in
favor of the amendment.
Mr. Pin nix followed tn opposition
to the amendment.
Mr. Hurley supported the amend
ment. '
Mr. Walker, of Richmond, in re
ply, to the arguments of the opposi
tion, said: ;
Mr. Speaker, I will briefly state ray
position in reply to the numerous geu-
tleiiieu who have argued "this ques-
lion. ; The gentleman from Guilford
said that National Banks were created
to provide a National currency. That,
unless a State law impairs the effi
ciency of the National Banks, to-wit:
In the establishment of a National
currency it is constitutional. The
gentleman misapprehends the true
status of the question. - If you depre
VOL. XV. NO. 124.
ciate the value of National currency,
don't you impair the accomplishment
of the. object for which the baqks
was originally designed; according? to
the gentleman's own statement? The
decisions they have ciited have no
bearing upon the question in hahd.
They discnss collateral matters which
will not' aid the House in arriving at
a correct inclusion. The opinion: ot
Mr. Justice Miller, upon : an outside
question, was relied on as decisive! of,
this question. But, Mr; Speaker, Jwe
find, that Justice Miller, before this
question was directly ( presented,! in
the case cited by my friend fipm
Chatham, says that we are transcend
ing our constitutional powers. j
There is one question; propounded
by the gentleman from Guilfordj'to
the gentleman from Wake, which I
desire to answer. Can a National
Bank be indicted ?; ' Clearly they
can. jt any of . their acts; violate a law
made by the proper authority. And
the gentleman begs the question when
he says that our admission concedes'
the legality of this bill, and its capa
city to reach the National Banksl
That is the very question at issue,
can we denounce penalties against
the National Banks fori violations! of
this law ? ;: .'
In the abstract, we agree with the
gentleman, but in the application:!
bis principle to National -Banks,
of
we
differ. It is true that under the light
of his decisions, the National Banks
cannot be viewed theoretically as a
part of the machinery ox the National
Government, but in their practical
workings, they most ce'rtaiuly arej
Impose restrictions upon the curren
cy, and you can destroy the Banks.
The power to tax or to impose restric
tions implies the power to destroy.
It is an indirect attack upon, the
bonds of the United States Govern
ment. 'No one will controvert the
position that supply and demand con
trol the values of all the commodities,
this is settled by the opinions
of the ablest writers. The Bank act
requires a deposit of bonds. This
gives a market to the bonds, and not
an inconsiderable market. It creates
a demand. " Withdraw this demand
by' destroying the ; National. Banks,
and you depreciate the; value of the
bonds because, you diminish the de
mand, &c. The position of my friend
(Mr. Pmnix) from Davidson coubty
is in conflict with his position on -Ihe
resolutions memorializing Congress
to prohibit the National Banks from
giving interest and fixing a rate j of
interest for them. lie assails my vole
upoc tuese .resolutions because he
thought they have a centralizing ten
dency, and involve a concession j. of
the Stale's rights. Let the gentle
man lodge, under this bill, the power
to eortpl the price of. money in - the
National Banks, and he creates a Cen
tralized power to blight our industri
al interests which has no parallelpn
the history of the world. I defire
now, Mr. Speaker, to refer to the Itfth
section of the Bank act, aud see if! we
can get auy light fromllhat. Under
that proviso this bill can be evaded.
A merchant in Raleigh; instead ot
loaning directly on usurious interest,
can draw on a merchant in New
York with whom he j colludes, and
sell his bill of exchange for usurious
rates and this will be the result of
your measure. Youjwill cause delay
in mercantile transactions, but under
this proviso you can't aiffect the vilue
of money, Which will seek its level
despite your efforts, &c. . J
Mr. Staples again took the - floor
to reply to the arguments advanced
by Messrs. Walker and Moring, bnt
being an elaboration of his former re
marks heretofore reported, we .Will
not attempt a synopsis. During ithe
remarks he was asked by Mr. McRae
if he saw no harm in the amendment,
and Was in favor of restricting Jibe
National Banks to the same rules
and laws that governed corporations
and individuals, why did he oppose
it. Mr. Staples replied, because if
Nent back to the Senate he appre
hended danger in the passage of the
bill. ! j
Mr. McRae thetook the floor and
said that he did not .desire to say
more on the subject, as it, was palpa
bly plain to every member on jthis
floor that the milk in' the cocoa-nut
was found. The opposition' were
afraid of the Senate, where the (bill
had beeii first introduced, considered
by the committee, reported aud
thoroughly discussed in that body.
He was here interrupted by Mr.
Staples, who asked, if the amend
ment is adopted will vou vote forjjthe
bm? ' . . - 1:
Mr. McRae "No. never will L so
help me, support a bill that, in
opinion, has a tendency to crush
good people of my State."
my
the
Mr: Oaksmith then propounded the
following question to Mr. Staples;
u Will the gentleman vote for the
amendment if we promise to vote; for
the bill ?"
Mr. Staples "No." I
Mr. Mebane then proceeded tq in
terrogate Mr. Staples on several of
'the legal points that arose in' theidis
cussiou, but the reporter was unable
to take them. .1 I
Mr. Finger next took the floor,
stating first that he had made ar in
quiry yesterday in regard to the pro
viso of the bill regarding National
Banks, which as yet had not been
satisfactorily answered. He would
again put the question to the gentle
men from Guilford and -Davidson.
After a brief colloquy, Mr. Finger
proceeded to discuss tne merits of the
amendment, and warmly advocated
its adoption. ! j
WILMINGTON,
Mr. Strong, on taking the floor, re
plied to the arguments of the opposi
tion at some length.

question on the; amendment.

- We learn the following additional parti
culars in regard to the fire which occurred
on Sunday morning : J . j '
The building, which was the property of
Mr. John E. Neimyer, as before stated,
was insured for $1,450 in the Hartford Fire
Insurance Company, of which. Messrs. At
kinson A Manning, are theAsent in this
city. The furniture and store fixtures, also
the property of Mr. Neimyer, were insured
in the same company, the former for $300,
and the latter for $50-" The stock in the
store, the property of Mr. S. A. Craig, was
insured at the same Agency in the North
America Fire Insurance Company for $600.
The origin of the fire is still not definite
ly known. It is supposed lo have Ignited
from a hot stove. j
In this connection we would, mention
that we regretto hear that some of the
firemen were hurt, though not very seri
ously, by falling shutters and boards while
making great efforts to extinguish the
flames. j- j
The house of the Wilmington Steam Fire

On Sunday morning, Master Benjamin

reaching home about 4 o'clock, and found
the back door of the house (which he had
left unlocked) ajar. He at once fastened
the door, putting down a ; night latch, and
when he reached the head of the stairs he
opened a door and a small dbg that belonged
in the house sprang out, and ran barking
down stairs. Master Price followed, pis
tol in band, and espied a colored would be
thief making frantic efforts o unlatch the
front door. - He cried to him to halt, and
at ouce fired upon hira,' the ball from the
pistol going through the panel of the door
at a spot that - must have4 made' the thief
tremble for his life. The f 'cullud pusson"
at last made an extra effort 'and, escaped,

iThe Fifth Ward Independent Bucket
Company No. 1, Capt. F. M. James, ren
dered very considerable service at the fire
on Sunday morning, their first public ap
pearance as an organization, and the first
fire for which their efforts were called into
requisition. This company is formed of
good material as may always be relied upon,
as indefatigable in their efforts to arrest the
progress of the fire fiend.
It appears that after the engines and
truck bad all departed from the smoking
ruins'on Sunday morning, the flames again
broke gait and would have resulted in
another serious conflagration,' but for the
timely appearance of the bucket company,
whose members through their well dis;
ciplined and untiring efforts; effectually
extinguished, the fire, and the worn and
weary firemen, who had departed for their
homes, were allowed to enjoy their repose
in peace, and all probability of the fire bell
again sounding the alarm for the time, was
entirely removed.

this is an advantage I claim for y4fcr guns, which en
ables one to use one or two sizes larger shot and
shoot them as close as ordinary guns with the line
size. This is a great advantage when birds are wild
and difficult to kllL I never had two harder or
closer shooting guns than the two you turned out
for Be, and I can confidently recommend your
weapons to sportsmen, feeling sore they will not
only be pleased with the splendid quality of ma
terial used m their construction, the perfect work
manship displayed in the fitting of all the parte, and
style of finish throughout, bat with the fine shooting
Snalities of your weapons, which. I think, are un
rated. I give this recommendation after two years
