Tho Usury bill, which lessens the punishment for usury by malking only tho oxcessive intorost, instead of both principal and interost, forfeita- ble, has beon rejected by tho Now York Assombly. -Many of the strongest. opponents of the usury laws and thoir merciloss penalties distavorod this bill. In thpir prosent sovere shapo these laws ara inoporative; no ona can bo found to on- forco them. But undor so mild a forfeiture tho oporation of the law.would not scom harsh, and in consequencoe tho Courts would be constantly in- torfering in the business of tho monoy market, attompting to keep tho prico of monoy down to the Invariablo rate fixed by law, and thereby in- troducing much greater confusion'and risk into The Bt.

Tho rosolutions urgo that tho Mississippl, bo confined at’' its mouth to ono chanmol, which' the rush of water will deepen and Keop cloar. ‘They faver tho adoption of a comprehensive, sys- tom of river improvement, to fix permsanent channels in the shoals of all the largo rivers of tho Miasissippt Valloy, and to froe them from obstructions, They call for tho abotition of all taxes which interfore with choap ocoan and in- land transportation, and for tho-ropeal of tho laws which pravent American morchants from buying ships abroad. No action was tajou. [ — Tho opforcoment in Massnchusotta of the law prolibiting tho sale of malt liqitors, ' which haa boen undortaken by the State Castabulary, has brought results which wore not dreamed of by thoso who favored the prohibition legislation. Alroady, it is said, tho sale of beer and alo has decreased 50 por cont. As a consequonce, many of the browors have susponded operations and discharged their belp, A largo number of coopers who wers earning 83 o day havo boen thrown out of femployment, among othor tradea dopondont upon the brewing busi- ness. The most unlookod-for result Las boon tho disaffaction of tho farmors who wore loudest in calling for tho law, and who avo now as vigor- ously opposed toit. They have been in tho Labit of - faoding thelr milel cows on browers' grains and barley sprouts, and they suddenly find their supply cut off. The consequence ia an incronse In the cost of feeding aud & decroase in tho quantity of milk for city spply, which mate- rially affects thoir profits, The farmors will now bo in favor of ropealing tho law probibiting tho salo of malt liquors, The Chicago produce mnrkets woro loss active yosterday, and gouorally irrogular.

It thoro is any- thing wrong in the inspeotion, Chicngo 1s no more to blamo for {t than for tho loss of tho Po- lnrls, Tho Stato hes arbiirarily fixod tho grad- ing of corn and appointed tho Innpootor.

LOUI8 CONVENTION, Tho oxcursion of Qongrossmen from Bt.

Honry T. Blow. . Tho.sub- stanoce of the business is tho nocossity and im- portanco of more porfoot wator-routes from tho | Interior to tho oconn, Tho quostion is, of course, important, and ono_great’ difffoulty ‘in having somothing acoomplished is tho fact that, when it is proposed to oxpond five dollars for a roally practicable and dosirablo end, at Teast fifty dol- lars moro are demanded for othor works that aro not practicablo, and aro uscloss, oxcopt for pur- poses of jobbory snd plunder. Tho spoakors at St. Louis polnted out, with great cloarness, the magiitudo of the commerce which would be malntained it the l\llésisbippl' i River wans g0 improved at-its mouth that ves- sols could arrive and depart from Now Orloans without the dolays and cost of lightorage and towago ; but even Bt. Louis geritlonion could not discuss this question without scomingly bidding for outside help by talking about a canal from tho Olfo River to Richmond, snd snother by way of the Tenunossoe River into Goorgis, with branches to Aobile and Bavannah, The threo iorks montioned -up to Tuosdsy night as dosorving immediate attontion were: 1,'Tho James River & Kauawha Canal. 2. The Atlantic and Groat Westora Cansl, througl® Xontucky, Tennessoo; Alsbama, and Goorgia: and 8. Tho Fort 8t, Philip Canal, from a point on tho Mississippi River below Now Or- loans, ator noar Fort 8t. Philip, to the Gulf. 0f these, the latter Is unquostionably of groat practical importanco, if it bo feaslbls, and, when accomplished, will furnish & pormeanont moans of reaching Now Orleans from tho Gulf. At prosout, no vessels drawing ovor 17 foot can cross the bar at tho mouth of the Mississippi ; at that point voseols entoring tha river have to transfor their cargo to scowsand barges, which aro towed up the river. Vossels of that size cannot take full cargoes. at New Orléans without bronking bullc ggain, a¢ the bar, and having thelr froight carricd, over it in lighters. Tho cotton- trado at Now. Orloans, if this difoulty did not oxist, would give employment to four timga_ tho numbor of océan-going vessels that now do business at that city. Tho difiicuity ot the mouth of the rivor. is ono that caunot be romodied. As fast as the bars aro dredgod out, thoy form again. If this Forl 8t. Philip Canal woro constructed, it wonld pormit stonmers and vessoly of the largost class to ontor the river at a point far“sbove tho river obstructions, and pormit an unintorrupted continuance of com- merco. Tho construction of tho canal, if prao- ticablo, will bo costly, 8o fur as tho amount of money is concorned, but it.wonld bo of perma- nont valug, and would opon the whole Missis- sippi River to the immenso commorco which bo- Tongs to it naturally, It tho Convention at St, Lonis has the facts, and information showlng that the Fort Philip Cuanal is possiblo of construction, or that thero is any other mode by which the arrival' and de- parturo of vossols to Now Orloans from tho ocoun can bo made a cortainty and froo of all obstruction by tho over-changing progress and : Qeposits of tho river, and will confine its recom- mondations to that object, it will elicit'from the whole country & strong and enrnest support. Buch & work must be of national importance " and of national intovest, and worthy of .tho lib- eral and prompt action of thie Govornment. “At ' presans, the obstructions at the entranco to tho ‘river 9x¢ proventive of commerce; they are broaking up commerce”’ in the great soction of conutry of which it is the natural outlet. Thoso obstructions aro dally growing worse. They dofy the remedial artof man., Tho only recourse istoavoid them byan artificial channel, If tho construation of this channél bo posgible, eithor at Fort 8t. Philip or elsewliore, it ought to be done, Tho mistake of all those convontions is, that, inntond of addressing thomselves to a really proper and desirablo ond, they purchnse a chesp recommendation of them by adding thereto o liko commendation of other works which aro visionary and absurd, impracticable and dolu- sive, and thus the roally meritorious is buried bo- noath tho mass of wild and utopian achomes, The spooch-makers at 8t.

Becrotary’ MeCulloch catimated the under-valo-* ation st fitty millions - when imports wore but fourhundred millions. Tho returns show that 12 por cent of imports and 70 per cent of exports . aromoved in foyeign veesols, so that nearly threo-quarters of all froight-money goos to, foroign shippers. In viow of those facts, tho nctual balanco against us for the fiscal yoar 1872, cun hiardly bo loss than §250,000,000. And, a8 we have'soon, the calendar year 1872 promises a yot. ‘more unsatisfactory showing. of Only certain half-erazy protoctionists claim; that any oxcess of imports is proof of an un-/ Loalthy condition of forelgn trado. On the con-} trary, some such oxcoss may bo aocopted a8 evi-1 donco of o hoslthy and mutually profitable ex- chango of commoditics. ‘If cotton is' worth! moro in Livorpool than.in New York, goodss| ‘bought therewith and valued abroad for importa-}| tion will excoed tho oxport value of - the cotton by tho cost and profita of tho shipmont. Butso largoan oxcoss ns now oxists, oqual to moro than one-half tho entiro valuo of exports, can by 1o moang bo thus explained. - It proves beyond question n dogreo of over-trading, a reckloss- noss in running into debt; which has never boon oqualed at any period in our history. For cven in tho times of wanton advontureiwhich pro- cooded the crash of 1837, our excesssof imports | waa at no time a8 gront as ono-half our oxports: Constantly as exporionco has disproved tho ‘falso notion that ¢ protection" .will restrain foreign importations, and cause o f:n]nucqi of trade in our favor, it haa nover beforo given. 80 conclnsive and startling & demonstration as that which now confronts us, For clovon fiscal years’ under tho systom called protective, -from July 1, 1861, to Juno 80, 1873, inclusive, wo have now, fall statistios, and. can 'comparo ,thom with the olovon yenra precoding, in which,.oxcopt for the montha of April, May, amd Juno, 7801, the lowost rovenuo tariff ovor triod since 18207 was in forca, Binco 1861, imports for consumpiion have ox- coeded domestio exports: other than specie by 2572,600,281.° But during the cleven: yoars pre- coding, domestic oxports other than! spocie ox- ceeded imports for consumption by $64,808,749. Thua the averago annual oxcoss of oxports un- dor tho rovenuo tarift was 5,801,704, while tho avorago annual oxcess of. imports undor proted- tion e boen $52,055,380. A part of this oxcess has indesd boen pald by using paper monoy at home, and sending sbroad our specio, but only a part.. Our dobts abroad, natlonal, Btato, county, municipal, and corpo- rato, woro by no ono estimated lower than £1,000,000,000 four yoars ago, and by some of tho ablost fingueiors at £1,400,000,000, aud tho intorest on thoso dobts, growiug ever since 1861, can scartoly have cost us losa than 2380, 000,000 in oleven yoars. ‘I'hore remains, of our oxporta of, spacie slnce 1801, loss than $260,000,~ 000 fo moot a doficit in morchandiso uxports of $072,009,281. e 'I'ho protectionist cannot claim that those re- sults aro oxcoptional. Every oxperiment in pro- tection lins rosulted in,a balance of trade sgamnst us, Tho very first trial of that system, in the *yoars 1821-24, inclusive, gavo a balanco of sixtesn millions ogainst us, Thinking thot wo had fuiled toohwek importa oulybecsuso dutles woronot high enough, Congross adopted o higher tariff, which gavo o balanco againet us in the years 1825-27, inclusive, of soventeon millions, Then the ox- trome of protection was applied, and gave, in tho yoars 1820-82, inclusivo, n balauco of thirty- five millions. Tho people. of that day had loarnod something In twelve yoars, and, to avold & swooping away of every vestigo of tho system, Clay dovised the -Compromise Tariff. But a fourth trinl of protootion, in 184348, inclusivo, agein changed & balanco in our favor of twonty millions into a.balanco againet ua of eight mill- jons. Thus atrevery trinl.of this eystom an ad- vorse bulance of'trado has -resultod, aud, as we now sadly observi once more, just as our fathora aid In 1893, repeated additions to tho tariff only awall tho.oxooss,0f Jmpozty, . furely, no intslll- gent man will Loroaftor Imagino that ** protee- tion " tends to provent.ovor-trading.

Pore Hyacinthe having fulfilled the one in« junction of Beripturo to take ‘unto himsolf & wifo, has promptly and without unnocessary de- il 1ay also fulfilled tho other, which bids maukind to multiply and replonish the earth. In theso respects, he has sliown himaself to bo a providont family man, s good ocitizon, and n conscientious thoologian. Pore Hynocinthe is now pere in ro- ality a8 woll a8 in namo. There is somothing very ghastly in the idoa of o father without off- spring,—a father who has nothing moro vital to contomplato than skull and bones, or crucifix and. rosary ; sbout whose kncos no chil- dren cling; who bequoaths his faco and namo and nature to no offspring, but wanders through the world s singular entity, ono-sided, -angular, an applo without & stem, a jug without & handlo, o book without print, with, if the old. saying bo truo, somo wrotohed woman some- whero dragging through life and pining away in tho shado becaueo shio has boon elocted to bo an aflinity, and never finds the complement which can make hor solitudo s stato of blossedness. Pore Hyacinthe long ago stated the roasona why Lio had ontered upon the stato of marringe, and they were both philosophically and theologically sufficiont not only to cover his owa case, bub that of overy monk and pricst in Chris- tondom, Apart from those considerations, thoro aro physiologieal = grounds upon which Pore Hyscinthe might bayvo based his cause. Mr, Francis Galton has shown very con- olusively that tho Church of Romo has hindored tho progresa of civilization by its rogulations with regard to colibacy. During tho sixtcenth and seventeenth conturios, the priosthood and othor holy ordors of that Church embraced in their membership & superior class of mon, not only in thoological dogmas, but in politics, sclenco, literaturo, and the nrts, It included the best intelleot of Europo; but that class of mon did not, ns_they might have dono, produce & gonoration to follow thom, which would cor- tainly have beon & 'g’onor&flcn' of superior belngs, who, with incronsed sdventages, would have given to tho world a highor status of olvilization than was established by tho inforior class, upon whom the worl of popu- Iating tho earth devolved. Btirpicalture, there- fore, becamo of n lower ordor of charactor. Tho raco did not roach thoe high plane it might have roachod had the intellect of the Church repro- duced iteolf in a highor typo of the speclos, in- stond of proserving ita brains on dusty library shelves, pressod and dried liko leaves in an horba- rium. Thore is still—although not to as large an oxtont 0s in. those dsys whon the Ohurch was the arbiter and tho re- pository of tho.arts and sciences—a large amount of wasto intellect in tho. Catholio Ohureh, oxhisusting itsolf in tho prosont and dolng nothing for the futuro. Thero is to-day many o parish pricst whoso colibacy Is robbing. the_ futuro of its Fouclon; many &’ Bishop whoso single blossedness involvos tho loss of ‘some twontith-contury Thomas-n-Kemplis; many & Cardinal who might bequeath his red hat toa foture Wolsoy, or feol the delightful pos- sibility that a Richoliou might ctand some day in ‘his red ehoes, woro ‘it not for the obstaclo of his vows; and thore has heen many & Popo who might havo combined thé good- ness of Pius IX, and the literary and esthetic munificonco of Loo X. in some futuro occupant of tho Vatican, but for tho fact that the Popos have not pald houschold bills for two, and pourod their joys and sorrows into o family bosom, which at tho samo timo nourished a futuro hope and o family glory. To all of these, Tore Hyacintho has sot an example to bo omu- latod—in the humble rural personage of someo villsgo priest, aud among the traditional glorles of tho Vatican, and the solomn splendors of St. Potor's. His marringe ond its prompt result gives polnt to the toxt, ““It is mnot good for man to bo alono It is a sermon thoy should ponder. - Poro Hyreinthe iaasgood amnan double ns ho was single, as cloquont o man, a8 industrious, frugal, charitablo, and re- ligious.
