The amendment strikes out the first section, which ¢ legal rate of interest im the District to be seven per centum per annum, and inserts tg the second section that the rate of interest sball be ix cents on the hundred by the year om money due by express contract, uuless a different rate be expressed in writing: on all money after the same becomes da, where there is BO contract fixing the rate of interest; oa judgment and decrees for the payment of mo- ney. where no other rate is expressed; on mo- ney lent without s contract fixing the rate of interest; OM money received to ihe use of another and retained beyond a reasonable time without the owner's con:ent, expressed or im- plied, &e. It also enacts that parties may agree, im writing, forthe payment of interest ot exceeding the rate of erght cents on the hun- dred by the year. It also repeals the act where he same may be inconsistent with the present one, eptitied “An act against excessive usury,” passed by the Assembiy of Maryland 3d Octo- ber, 1704. It is probably desirable that a rate of inter- estehall be established as the legal one where there is no contract made fixing the rate; but it strikes us tbat the committee in specifying eight per cent as the maximum of legal in- terest are still clinging to the old exploded theory that legal enactments prescribing the price of money is of any advantage to the pur- chaser. In fact, as sll experience shows, sach jaws merely serve to frighten the timid money- owner, and throw the borrower into the hands of the unscrupulous knder. who skins him at the rate of from forty to sixty per cemt. It the sale of money were left as tree as that of any other article. those im wantef it could par- cbase sor wha’ it bappened to be worth at the ume When there are so many openings oc- curring for investment at ten, fifteen and twenty per ceut., it will help the borrower | very little to pass a Inw saying he © PAY more ‘han eight per cent. il mot The Chromeir thinks WW Corcoran, Lsq.. should be paid bi< claim for thr ne of the Harewood estate by Government. Not to pay i would be exceptional, for throughout te whole war the Government continued to pay for property rented from Mr. Corcoran and others by the Treasury Department, office of the Paymaster General, Surgeon General, Freedmeu's Burean, aud Commissary Gen- eral. The city bas a special interest im this Matter, from the fact that Mr. Corcoran has donated the amount im advance of its payment toward the erretion of a home for aged women. om Massachusetts avenue, near 16th street. For *be rent of the Gatery of Art Mr. Corcoran filed no claim. It is soon to be given up the Quartermasters Department. and it is Bis intention then to comvey to trustee-, for the benefit of the public, the whole property, to- gether with his valuable collection of works of art, sndtoassign his claim for rent as a part of its endowmer ‘The course of the Senate debate and the ac- tion of that body upon the railroad question is om the whole quite encouraging to the cau-e of the people, and correspondingly depressing to the monopoly interests The fact that a ma- jority of the Senate yoted to take up the bill in the face of the desperate eifort made to throw it over, is 8 good sign, as showing that the gi- gantic railroad lobby has failed to make the head-way claimed in the Senate. Bat whether the bill «ucceeds oF not at this session, the principles it embodie= have acquired strength that the tine of its adoption is but a question of months. Tne amendment striking | out the Western roud- we doubt not was a pra- dent one, divesting the question of extraneous issues. and making the test apply directly to the States that have acsumed to piant themselves Across the track of natioual traffic and travel, and demand toll from both—the States of Mary- land, Deinware, and New Jersey, The Springfield fr)u'lican thinks the pother in the woman's convention here over Rev.

The next amendment was in section four- teen, line five, to sirike out “three” and insert “two: so as to read :--“It shall be fally com- pleted and equipped in two years from aud at- ter the election of the first board of directors.” ‘The amendment was agreed to Mir. Vickers said the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Suerman) had introunced subjects im his dis- cussion of this bill to influence the judgment, he trusted not the prejudices of the Senate, which were foreign toit. Mr. V. quoted from the writings of Alexander Hamuiton as to the powers 1 the Stutes. It 1s now proposed to exercise the dangerous power of building rail- Toads in the States,of taxing possession of their 11 without their consent, and this ts claimed der the power to reguiate commerce. Mr. \. quotea from the decisions of the Supreme Court on the powers of Congress under the Constitutional provision committing to that body the power to regulate commerce. Noth- ing cam be clearer than the organic law was de- tigned to prevent the exercise of any construc_ lve power. Even Gen. Hamilton, in bis latitudinarian construction of the power of Congress, dia no: the right to baild canals. Mr, Madison, Papers, grves an Account of the proceed: igs in the convention on this subject. Toe ‘Seestor trom Ouio admits himself tout Cou- grees bas no power to interfere with the inter- ual ccromerce of the States. Mr. V. contiaued to quote trom various authorities, amd argued in opposition to the propositions laid down by Mr. Sherman. Mr. Madison was decidedly of the opinion that uo power existed in Congress to build cauals, and the tdea of incorpor iting uf in the Consti‘ulion, when proposed, was al- Ways Fejrcted om the belief that the States Would never raufy the conferring of such a dangerous power But for the enterprise of the Stats of Mary- land we mogit now have the stagecoach ply. ing between Baltimore and Washington. ‘The ‘State of Maryland had invested largely ot her wealth im developing internal improvements for the teneht, eqally with her own citizens, te reet of the country, She had been obliged tame to tax every source of revenue to her credit, aud that credit she bad always Senator (Mr. Sherman) says Maryland ob- structs the way to the national capital, when Ube fact as that Maryland has furnished the ovly modes of getting here, The disposition ced by the State towards railroad enter- bad always been of the most libera: as not here as a defender ef the Balt- | More and (hio railroad, but as a citizen of his State, amd disposed to do her and ber en. terprise justice. She had row more than ons of dead capital invested in the Unesape 4 Obio canal. There was no jesiousy om the part of Baltimore towards Washiigion; there could be none.

Mr. Speacer.—I move toamend the bill before the Senate by adding to the first section the following proviso: */rovided. how-ver, Tuat | tbe Baltimore and Potomac raiiroaa may be | adopted as a part cfthe road between Washing- tem and Baltimore contemplated by this act, upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between the New York and Washington Railway Oompany and ite Balti- more and Potomac Railroad Company.” T! amendment was agreed to Mr. Sherman.—There is one amendment re- ported by the committere which the Svcretary tells me was overlooked and uot read. 1 ask that that be acted upon now. ‘The Chief Ulerk read the amendmert, which was im section Fix, «ne four, after the word! length” to strike out the words “and the rails sball be of American iron or steel manufie- tore.” The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Sherman moved to str:ke ont the two last | Sections of the bill providing for ratiroads to Olevelaud and Cioc:mnati, and leaving only the cbarter for a raiiroad to NewYork. Agreed to Dir.

Mr. Sterman,.—rhe Senator from West Vir- ginia was not in the Chamber a while ago when, by direction of the select committee, I moved to strike out two of the raiiruads con tained in this bill, with a view to confine it to the one railroad from Washtozton to New York As & matter of course, the Senate having adopted that amendment, the same reason ought to induce the Senate to refuse to put this n-w Failroad on this bill. J am in favor of the road now suggested, aud 1 know a good deal about the Chesapeake and Onio railroad, and can endorse much that the Senator bas satd, but [ hope it wall not be put on this bill, The bill 1s, now confined simply to one road, in order that the question of the power of Congress may be decided. and that the road of most pressing im- portance may be left alone to stand upon its own merits. J trust, theretore, that the Seun- tor will not press his amendment. Mr. Pomeroy said the pill had now been stripped of all its valuable featares. We did not want any route to New York. We were well enough accommodated now in getting to New York. Qontinuing hesaid:—In my opin- ion this amendment is of vastly more impor- tance tban the bill itself. The time is co: when the great valleys of the Mississippi and Missouri will want to get to Washington, if ‘Washington is to remain anything more than ‘8 place merely for Congr-esmn to assemb! 1 apprehend the time 1s coming when Will be some more importance to this city than the simple fact that it as the seat of Gover ment for the national capital. I kaow of mo Teason why it may not be a commercial busi- ness city that will invite the trade and com- merce of the grea: valleys of the West. If we are going to legisiate in this direction, exercis- ing powers that have never before been exer- cised, why not do it on an enlarged and liberal scale! I ‘no not want to die tor what is not worth killing me for. 1 have sowe doubts about the exercise of this power, but if I have got to help to pass this bill and vote for it simpiy to facilitate communication between bere and New York, and cut off communica- tion from those sections of the couatry where We need something, it is not .worth the paper on which it is written. J insist upon baving a vete on the amend- ment of the Senator from West Virginia. I desire to vote upon it and to test the sense of the Senate mpon it. We propose, if possible, uot cnly to help this city of Washiugton, bat to copnect it with what ts soon to be the great center of population on this continent—the val- Jey of the Micsissippi and Missouri and our possessions beyond. I have not listened to the clamor about removing the capital West; Ido | not believe a word in it; but 1 want the West connected with the capital, vecause this ought to beacity of towering magnificence; itsshadow ought to extend over the land. Instead of open- ing communications where we have already got them, let us open some where we need them. Mr. Sherman.—l only desire to say a word in reply to the Senator from Kansas. He bas a very good way of showing his friendship to this till—by refusing to take it up! Now, let me say to the Senator from Kansas that if he is really desirous of passing bills to charter ratl- roads to Washington he must take them one at a time. Mr. Pomeroy,—Let us nave oue for a road tbat we need and not one that we do not need. Mr, Sherman.—l am in favor of all these brite: but Senators seriously object to the idea of putting three or four incorporations in one bill; and several Senators, who were perfectly willing to vote for either separately as a matter of the order of business utterly objected to voting foro many inone bill. Webadesough of these combinations of various railroa/ls i the Pacific railroad bill to satisty me. 1 gen- erally object to having more thin one object in a bill. The Senator may be certain that if this bill is passed another bill will be passed for Toads making connection nortaward, north- westward, and scuth westward, so that all these various railrosds may be accommodated. As 8 maiter of course I am in favor of the propo- sition of the Senator trom West Virginia; but I do not think it ought 'o be added to this bill. Let each of there bills stand on its own merits. If the Senator sys we have communication enough with New York, let him vote azainst the bill, as he would have done at any rate. 1 aid not expect he would yote for it, as a matter of course. There is no railroad competition between Washingion and New York. There is vital necessity for competition. If the S+n- ator does not wish another road to New York, as a matter of course he will yote against th> bill. 1 will vote for the proposition of the Sen- ator from West Virginia ae a separate measure; I will vote for, and hope yet to see, a line con- s:ructed on the only natural route from Wash- ington Westward; that is, to the Point of Rocks, aud thence by way ot Cumberland to Pitts- burg. One of the last sections in this bill pro- vided for line cf railroad to reach the Cnesa- peakeand Obio Railroad, the very ope now suggested by the honorable Senator from West Virgivia. If the Senate shonid choose to put these bills together I am perfectly willing to vote for them all together, although I think, as & matter of legislative policy. it would be bet- ter to pass them on+ at atime. Mr. Doolittle —1 now renew the amendment that J offered. Mr. Pomeroy.—1 give notice to the Senator from Obto that I shail renew the proposition for the coustruction of these other roads to- ‘norrow and press them to a vote. I amin tavor of every one of them. The President pro fempore.—The Chair will ipquire of the Senator from West Virginia Whether be has withdrawn bis amendment ? Mr. Willey.—1 am informed by several Sena. tors that although they are ip favor of this preposition, yet it I insist upon attaching it to this bill they’ will be constrained by considera. tions satifactory to themselves to vote against it. 1 therefore withdraw it.
