At the special meeting of the Senate on Mon- | @ay vight to consider District matters, the vill Was called up to repeal the usury laws of the District, whem the following took place ' + Davis was opposed to legalizing any rate Digher than six percent. There were bat few people able to pay more than that. and a | T rate than six per cent. was onerous and | Tessive on the industry of the country. As stood up for the interests of this Distric: tor thirty years, be would resist the passage of (ae ball by all means in his power. Mr. Harlan said higher rates of interest were Tmi-sible in New York and Baltimore. In itmore, be understood. a contra:t could be made for eight per cent, and the consequence | Was those who had here sent it to New York and Baitimore for investment, and citi- i g E 8 i i & g iH money commitiee thought this was a hardship, and the object of the bill was to Keep the capital of | thus Dnetrict at home. Mr. Davis said no excuse could jestify the Maposition of a usurious rate of interest, and waisted upon the bill bemg laid over. So or- The bill m question places the legal rate of interest at six per cent, but allows special written contracts to he made tor higher rates. Mr Garrett Davis sticks faithfully to the Apugusted notions prevailing as long ngo a: 1704, when the present usury law of Maryland, under which the District now suffers, was adopted. The world has moved some since | 17, but Mr. Davis bas not. Maryland has Modified this “relic of barbarism,” but Mr. Davis wants to maintain the dust-sanctified law for the benefit of this District. The idea bas loug since been exploded that the purchaser of money ean be benefitted by attempting to Teguiste its price, amy more than by undertak- ing to fix the price of any other commodity— beef. bread, shoes, or bard ware. Money. like any other article, is worth just What 1" will fetch, and any attempt to fix the price Yor the borrower simply causes it to seek other channels and other localities where there ‘s Bo Isw to prevent its bringing its market | value. And whatever might Bave been tne value of money in 1704 or 1860, it 18 pretty cer- tam that with the inflation of prices by the War, six per cent. does not represent that value sow. SBould Congress decline to repeal the usury inw, it will commit the absurdity of al- lowiwg Government creditors to receive seven | And (hree-tentbs per cent, (and more on gold | | aterest bonds,) and of refusing to permit other | ™ «Teditors to take over six per cent. ‘Those who understand the workings of the Instrict usury Iaw wiil be apt to smile at tne reasoning ot Mr. Davis; bat with the necessi. tous borrowers the grin will be a grim oue. It is ust this class of borrowers who ate ground sown by the usury Isw. Why, the very par- ties who are pow laboring to get Congressional action for the repeal of this law are citizens of humited means, who find it almost impossible, onder the usury Inw, te raise the money need- *d to carry on their business. Men of char- | seter, who have money to invest, would giadly lerd to them at the price money is tmirly worth, but of course are not tmechned to bt sf st six per cent, when they cam, without the slightest risk, get 73-10 im Government bonds convertible into mouey St apy moment. The result is that the uecessitous borrower is thrown into the clutch- os of the sharks, who take the risk of vialaung the law 4 who bleed br: to the extent of from thirty to sixty per ce: No business man cam pay sach interest and stand; and bundreds can date their ram from the momen: they were sent to the sharkish money-shavers by this very usory law, upheld by Mr. Davis Working for the benefit of the borrower ! ns of dollars are locked up in tnis city Government bonds, and in stocks of vations | that would, were the usury laws rp- ed, come into circulation to be used in iiding up the city. Large sams of money way from bere for investment where adeimmomey, taking just somuch be working capital of this city would come bere for investment is oor usury Iaw.

Saow, the ecliciting agent for this District, a copy of Hor- | ace Grerley’s “Recollections of a Busy Life. published in excellent style by J. B. Ford & Co. New Yore The “Recollections” were | orginally published by Mr. Greeley in the | New York Ledger, but he has since re-written | them. and addea much original matter, making ‘8 book of 624 pages.

The | Petition asks that a school should be provided | tor colored children of a higher grade than the Present primary schools, and informs the coun- cil that thereare at the prevent time numbers of colored children ready to enter schools in which the higher branches are taugat. Th petitioners also ask that competent colored teachers be allowed the privilege of at least competing with white teachers in colored schools, and set forth that many are able to compete for appointments as teachers of the colored childre: The great feature of Wall street yesterday | asthe stringency in moary and the depres- sion which it caused in nearly all directions. ‘The demand eet in very active early in the day, nd continued without any abatement until after bank hours. The Government Hond dealers were generally accommodated readily at 7 per cent. and in some cases were lende! themselves. The stock brokers paid from 7 Per cent currency to7 per cent gold. and in a few instances a commission of 1-16 per cent was added to the legalrateincutrency. In the Gold room the brokers paid 6 per cent. to 1-32 Per cent. to have their gold carried. This great and sudden change in the money market has been brought about by artificial means, and is the resuit, it is supposed, of a combination of the leading bears in the gold, stock, and gov- erpment bond market to lock up greenbacks and bring down values in Wall street. The immediate cause of the stringency is the sudd: and sharp rise in Government bonds, which | bas cangbt «ome parties largely short of them, and these bears have made common cause with their confederates in the gold and stock markets. Paul Bagley has obtained from Mr. Seward.a letter on which be proposes to go to England and intercede with the British Government for the release of the Fenian prisoners.

It was well known that if the substitute reported by the ‘Senate committee was agreed to, the President would be bound by his former action to veto it, the President might bold the bill over so as to Jet the tenure-of-office act go ns a legacy to bis successor, Therefore. to get the action of the President within the ten days, the bill must finally be acted or in a day ortwo. Toe House pao gape a bad, by = large majoricy, Pr the repeal, and it was the duty of the Senate to act on it at once. Mr. Edmunds bad tried several times to get this tenare-cf-office matter before the Senate; he wanted it fairly comsidered and speedily acted upon. He thought. however, as a matter of common courtesy, that the Senator (Mr. Mor- ton) should have given notice to the committre before moving to take the matter out of their hands. Bare propriety might have suggested thie Mr. Morton did not wish to take charge of the bill, or to reflect upon the Committee on Re- trenchment, and the Senate should judze by the remarks of the Senator from Vt (Mr. Edmands) ‘whether he was very anxious to take the bill up. It had come from the House four or five weeks ago, and if the Committee had made any sys- tematic effort to take it up he had not seen it, He bad heard that unless this bill was im @ day or two tt could not pass this session. He wauted Gen. Grant to come into office with his hands untied; he did rot want him hamper- ed with slaw which had been made expressly to meet certain contingencies, which it was not to be supposed would arise under the adminis- tration of Gen. Grant. If this bill was to be suffered to drag in the future as it bad for the last four weeks he would like the Senate to know it, and the country to know it. After further debate, Mr. Fessenden moved to go into executive session. Agreed to, ud sub- sequepuy the Senate took a recess. At the evening session, Mr. Van Winkle called up the bill to give pensions to certain soldiers and sailors of the war of ir!2 who served three months, and advocated it as a measure of justice to the soldiers of that period. After discassion the bill was rejected—ayes 19, pays 20. Mr. Stewart called up the House bill to re- Move political disabilities of persons therein name:l, which gave rise to considerable dapate. Mr. Vickers moved an ameadment removing Pohtical disabilities from all citizens of the South who bave rot been indicted, and who Will, before the 4th of March, take aa vath to support the constitution of the United States. Not agreed to. The bill was then passed. Adjourned. Hovsx.—After onr report closed— The bill to relieve certain parties therein nam- ed from political disabilities was passed by a vote of yeas 130, nays, 4 (ass! m our edi- tori columns last evening.) The House then resumed the consideration of the Seuate bill supplementary toan act entitled “An act to provide a national currency secured by 4 pledge of the United States bonds, and to provide for the circulation and redemption thereof,” which was debated up to the hour when the House took a recess. Atthe evening session, the House in Com. mittee of the Whole, Mr. Scofield im the chair, resumed the consideration of the Tax Dill. ¢ only amendments of importance were as follows: To require stamps to be purchased only from the collector of the district; to change the tox on paper cigarettes so as to make itread “on cigarettes of paper notexceeding one pouad four ounces per thousand, 40 cents per 1,000; on cigarettes of paper exceeding one pound four ounces per one thousand, 8! 50 per 1,000." aud providing that all cigars now held ia any United States bonded warehouse, subject to import duty, shall pay the same duty as though imported aiter the passage of this a After a few other unimportant amendments bad been offered the Committee rose, aud the bill and amendments were reported to the Houre. The amendment offered by Mr. Holman to tax the interest accruing trom the United States bonds was disagreed to. ‘The bill, as amended, then passed. and the House adjourned.
