We are gratiied to see that aneffbrt is to be made to abolish, in Virginia, the Us ury Laws, those remnants of old time bar barism and superstition, which have so long disgraced our statute books. We laugh at the, absurdity of the notched sticks, of which the EngBsh Exchequer has been recently:-rid, while we retain as a solemn law, an absurdity quite as gross and far more pernicious in its consequences. A . law which-holds to the grindstone the noses of " the poor and, embarrassed, and enables the greedy and avaricious lender, by its very strictness, to increase his profit out of- the unfortunate borrower. It is easily under stood how, in he early ages, when " politi cal economy - was an unknown science. - and the laws of commerce, except the ru dest and simplest, were not comprehended, meh a svstcmi i mirht arise. When the Church, which was the power of the world, sent forthits fiat against usury of course it was denounced, because it was prohibit ed. :f -k;;:'-' ; Dawn to the time when the philosophy of commerce began to be studied and its operations to be understood and explained, usury was classed among the mala in se.- It was only when the subject was . investi gated by original thinkers and men who disregarded th"e prestige of antiquity, that it was discovered to be malum prohibitum, and nothing more that its impiety was only imaginary and that the abolition of laws-for .its prevention was not in contra vention of any divine precept or moral ne cessity Then, for the first time it began to be understood that the old law, ecclesi astical, civil and common, on the subject, was founded in ierror, and that the prejudi ces which had existed against usury, were the prejudices of education rather than rea sonr It was no longer thought necessary to prohibit the lasarer from making a will or receiving property under the will of an other, to deny him Christian burial, or to denounce him as one of the legion of Anti-Christ.- - The best thing, to be done was to make a compromise with antiquated su perstition, to set an arbitrary value upon money, and mulct the violator of the law witS damages, the great panacea for all the ills of... this practical time, " ; Y - The sin of usury is exploded, and the law against it is violated, as a great many other nonsensical laws are, every day, with the most perfect impunity without even any effect upon the social relations or posi. lion of the law breaker;! and to a great ex tent by the executors of the liw themsel ves. It ir an axiom, that trade cannot be diverted from its accustomed channel by legislative enactment, or in any other way, until a better, more convenient, or more lu crative channel be found for it to run in. It is equally true and undeniable that the value of money is , changing and fluctua ting; dependent entirely upon the requ re merits of commerce, -and altogether inde pendent of legislative valuation. Yet the Legislature sets an arbitrary price upon it, and declares that no man shall lend his money,' no matter What may be its value, at a greater rate than 6 per cent. - If the- market price of money is 7 per ' cenLjtwilL bring - that interest, men will pay it and receive it, ven if, instead of a forfeiture of the amount, hanging were the penalty ol the otlence. " : - v ' - , No honest man will avail himself of the provisions of the law, because it is consid ...... .1 j -n A t a I.)., n a . n J ........ Cr.... . men who are dishonest will, because such a course would cut them off from all hopes of prospective loans.- The law is necessa rily a dead letter. The legislators who make the law know at, tne judges upon the bench know-it, the jurors who decide upon the case know it, and go home and sell tbeir money for its value, with :clear consciences and without -tne tear ot the Claw before their eyes. It is an evil to, have laws which are violated with imnunitv - and at which - the common sense of the community they are made for! revolts. .Such. laws should be erased from the stat ute book, j They lend to make men disre gard and violate other laws which" are .wholesome and just. - But this is not the onlyevu to which- the usury laws " give rise. If they were merely negative ; in - their effect,, they might be permitted to pass unnoticed wiili' other old "lime absur dities which camber the volumes of black letter ,-They are a positive -evil i per se. They inflict wrong and haTdship upon that verviclass-they are intended to benefit. It is upon the borrower "th&; penalty of ''the "pBsuary law falls. :He baa to bear the bur tnenw nen he borrows, he has to' pay not only the market value of money he obtains, but a sort of insurance upon his oTt honesty and the honesty of other bor rowers- -j ine lender exacts this of him upon lhe ground that lie may lose all, and as he runs ice risk, ne must have the pre raium. Again, that part of the communi ty which respects the law and will not be : guilty of its violation, however preposter ous it jnay be, is driven our of the; money market when the va'ue of the article - is greater than the law allows to be pai I for iv they cannot afford to take less than its worth, and its worth thev will not takp from the borrower because of their' respect for the law. , The consequence inevitably IS, that When anv Btrinrrnov swenrs. lh law abiding part of the community is driv- . vu. iKevto. dispose of its' ca pi- ... ll IU UU1J taWlUI WBV on !. l, from trade, and the field Is surrendered to tuoso wuo repumaie me law.

It is not the mercantile community who derives assistance from the law. Their operations are hampered by if and, whenever the rate of money is above the legal rate, and bona fide lenders are -driven out of the market, they are torceu, in orcter to. preserve me ir mercantile credit and to meet their, tempo rary liabilities, to payexorbitant and ruin ous premiums. The farmer 13 in the like category. The mechanic and daily labor er is shaved out of half, his stipend, in or der that he may, obtain the "ready.? money for his family's support. -These are the known every day results of. the law. It operates with harshness and severity, in proportion as those who violate it are hard and unconscionable. Tbey have a migh ty power in their hands at the time of any commercial crisis, and they exercise it gen erally without mercy. Many" exceptions there are of course men of right feeling and good judgment, who, regarding the law as senseless, enter the market to geLa fair value ftgr their money, and no more. Who are content to receive reasonable pro fit, and who are unwilling to proceed to acts of extortion or injustice. Both classes are a necessity created by the law. The community, as the law now stands, could t not do without them; and we venture the assertion that if, in, any sudden tightness of the money market, the usury laws were not violated directly or in directly, there would not, in the whole State, te more than a dozen" mercantile firms capable of sustaining the shock. It is furthermore the known and express ed wish of almost lh.e wjiole community, that this restriction upon trade and credit should be abolished, that the men of means and capital in the community may be per mitted to come into the market and sell their money, as they sell their other, pro perty, for us value leaving it to Jlie par ties, as in other contracts, to settle the price between them, and making the present rate of interest, or some other, the settled rate in casps where the contract dors not spe cify such rate.! We, have offered no au thority mi vindication of the views we have briefly presented, though there is plenty at band, because being the same urged every day by those who experience practically the evils of the law, they appeal to the common sense of every man who will re flect a moment upon the question. ". We hope that the Legislature will at the pres ent session relieve the community ot tne burden of this senseless and injurious law.

McCann was some time since discharged Jrom the police for some dere liction by the Police Board, and on Sat urday went to the Recorder's office and requested him to use his influence to have him reinstated. , The Recorder gave him little encouragement, and the man then began to grumble and accused' him ofbe iag"down on him." - During the inter view the Recorder- started from his front office to go to a back room in the buildinsr, followed by officer Aguilard. McCann fol lowed them out into the passage, pulled Aguilard aside, ana immediately fired a pistol at Mr. Seuzeneau, the distance be tween them being but a few feet. 1 he pistol . was Jonded with bnck. shot, ail of which took effect in the Recorder s neck. just below the case of the brain, inflicting a severe and painful, though not a danger ous wound. As soon as the rascal had fired bis pistol, it was Caught out of his hand by Aguilard, who felled him to the floor with it, giving him, in doing so, a very severe wound on the skull.1 Besides the pistol .which he fired at the Recorder, he had hidden in his shoes a single-barrelled pistol and a large spring bowie-knife, show ing" that be harbored the most desperate intent against the life of Mr. Seuzeneau, but in which he was miraculouely thwart ed.iiVi O, Bee, Feb: 18. 4 - , 5 I The folio wing is the closing paragra ph of Miss Murray's "Cuba, the United States and Canada :" .. ." ; "And now' farewell, ; thou giant Repub he 1 I have long since left thy. shores but I have brought with me, and fondly ibherish, the recollection of the many pleas ant dars I spent within tay borders, and of all those friends whose unceasing bospi talily and kindness tracked my path with out intermission. 1 care not tor bilious teros and Russian sympathizers : .
