. . k , . i Hi & - of .JANUARY 19 1S73. I SUNDAY. ANEW WAY TO KAISE REVENUE-IS IT PRACTICABLE? When Gen. Henry A. Wise was Gov ernor of Virginia, he proposed a finan cial Krhpme to raise revenue lor the State, which was somewhat novel in its w trader, and does not seem to have . .. I attracted much attention at the time. - lieiore tue war, uu, uiimuuo i i:v dollars were annually sent lrom Virginia I to to the Northern Life and Fire Insurance Companies in payment of the premiums on policies in these Companies. Gov. Wise proposed that the State lease the exclusive privilege of insuring, to a single Company or a combination of Companies. On account of the distressed financial condition ot Virginia, some of the to papers of the State have revived Gov. in Wise's scheme, and the question has I a3 given rise to an interestingjdiscussion. It is assertedthat the gross receipts of insurance in Virginia reach annually to the amount of twelve millions of dol lars. One half of this amoun t is believed to be net profit. Those who , favor the proposition contend that the State should share equally in this profit, and this would cive her a new source of revenue, amounting to three millions of dollars, r'; We have no data at hand by which If wo can estimate what amount of money is annually sent out" of North Carolina anxious that the rate on special cons seif by sorting in a millinary establish to nav ior insurance If Virginia navs tracts for money be 1DCreased while tbe mentin St. Louis till after the close of to pay lor insurance. If Virginia pays remaiQ a3 at presenfc, when the Her land rose in value, and twelve millions, we presume our Svate thqre is no agreement as to price." sbe gold it for a good pricej and realized pays at least two thirds of that sum, In other words, our sister State has about $5,000. With this sum she started eight millions. According to this esti mate, the insurance men receive an an nual profit of four millions of dollars irom North Carolina. If the policy suggested by the Rich moad Whig be adopted in this State, to wit : that an equal division be made of the net profits with the Insurance Com pany or Companies wi th which the lease is made, then North Carolina would re ceive two millions of revenue from this source. In the present depleted condition of the State's finances, this sum would be a great help. This would enable us to pay the current expenses of the State Government, relieve the Univer sity and other State mortgage, protect the in the railroads, make better provision for our charitable institutions, which are now crying, piteously for belp,Tevive the common school. system,which has become inefficient and almost useless, and at the same timelitt from the shoulders of the people the heavy burden of taxation which keeps them? depressed and im poverished. It is probable that the. estimate that Insurance Companies reap a profit of one half ot their gross receipts is too high. Competition in insurance as in all kinds of business, diminishes the net gains and makes the profits compara tively small. But if we make the profit of the In surance Companies one half of that claimed by some of our ' Virginia cotemporaries, then if the gros3 receipts from this State amount to eight millions of dollars, and the actual profit of the Companies be only two millions of dollars, North Carolina would still reap a revenue of one million, by leasing the privilege of insuring for one-half the profits. We do not know this plan for raising revenue will prove leasiblo, but the necessity of relieving the State from her pecuniary embarrassments, ind the importance of diminishing the present exorbitant taxation, should direct attention to every proposition intended tore3tore the public credit and remove public burdens. THE REPEAL OF THE USURY LAW, ' ' We have before stated that General Dix, in his inaugural message to the New York Legislature, advocates the repeal of the usury lawfand the-iemoval of all restrictions on tbe price of money. Ills. position 13 endorsed by the New York Journal of Commerce, which is re garded as the ablest commercial news paper in, the United States, and is con sidered the organ of leading business circles in New York. From a recent editorial in that paper, .we clip the following on the repeal of usury laws: The Repeal of Usury Laws. Messrs. W. C. & Co., a respectable Pearl street firm, writes us in reference to the petition for the abolition ol the usury law, signifying their own assent to it, but asking what arc the objections to a repeal of the law. If the point of the inquiry is as to reasonable objections to the repeal of the law,or what may fairly be said on the other side, we answer that there is nothing to be urged. No plausible objection to the repeal of the usury law, or 'pretence of argument in favor of such a restriction, has been made for years. If our correspondent means only to ask what are the motives that have prevented the repeal, we an swer : ' 1. There is a notion in the minds of some well-meaning but uneducated and supertitious people that the taking of more than seven per centinterest is prohibited in the Bible where " usury " is denounced. The truth is, of course, that the Iseraelite was prohibited from taking any interest for a loan irom a brother Jew, but expressly allowed to take it from all others. Where usury is denounced, it is the taking of usance or interest at all, and one per cent, is as much usury in the Bible sense as ten percent. 2. There is a wide spread feeling among land-owners and others who may be borrowers in the agricultural property noWkT "-: ctri Mo that thA renpai 01 tne ubiuv i aw'wmiifl pi ther raise the average rat interest or if not, would attract date capital, to the financial centres unu i iaie make it more uilucuie io secuie iuuo iue juuruai incucu iu jtiavco uvu, on bond and mortgage.

HEN. BUTLER IMPLICATED. In the House of Congress on .Wednes day, Mr. ; Farnsworth, " of Tjlinois, introduced a resoliuion, instructing the Committee ol Investigation hi the Credit Mobilier fraud, to inquire whether auy lees were paid to any member ol the House as attorney for the Company, and also it any sums of money have been paid by the Qredit Mobilier or Union Pacific Companies, to assist in the election of any member of Congress. This resolution is considered a blow at Ben Butler, who is charged, by rumor, with having received large fees for his services in behalf of the Credit Mobilier. Mrs. William Dickey, who is well known to' picnic parties visiting the Great Falls of the Potomac, where she resided, has eloped with an old . lover' named George Jackson. Mr. Dickey, who is twenty years the, senior of his spouse, takes the matter very philoso phically, and savs he "don't care much about the Wife, but he would like to have the hundred dollars she took with her."
