USIUIIII LAW. - 13tir Legislature having adjourned with eat any action upon the Usury question, there is no prospect of any further relief' ilk another Year to come, hr that direction, 'hence the onlyrentedy we have ie to make l r itseOfsueli • means_ as are already upon our statute books, and by otlmintstering thelaws wow have, much can be done to throw off - the villainous yoke of the I merciless extortioners, although they can escape merited penalties. We have a Court of Justice, (so called) and it con-_ reties this week. We have a somewhat stringent usury law, barring out proper penalties, which was undoubtedly intend-' ia to protect the people' against the ravages of these ravenous money ' oyates, and we here say that it has become the duty of every citizen to urge and demand ifs ex eintion. What was it placed r on our statute books for, if there vas no necessity for it and of what use is it Unless execut ed!. Let us try its virtue at this time. Let the Courts be forced to pass upon this gadsßon, and aectae 'made for the protection of the rights of the people, or to furnish means for Legis lators and Judges to draw salaries. We cannot say that the people will get their sights by asking for them, but one thing ire can sar, they do not deserve them un less they do ask. The following is the present law against usury, and we ask a careful perusal by our readers: " Where any rate of interest for the loan or UN of money shall have been Desertal or con-j trilled for, the borrower or debtor shall not be ' required to pay the creditor the excess over the legal rate, and it shall be lawful for such bor rower or debtor at his option, to retain and de duct such excess from the amount of any such debt; and in all cases where any borrower or debtor shall heretofore or hereafter, have colon ;t arily paid the whole debt or sum loaned togeth er with interest exceeding the lawful rate, no - Act ices to recover back any such excess shall be sustained in any court of this Commonwealth, unless the same y shall hare been commenced within six months from and after the time of such payment" • 'lt will be plainly seen by the above provisions that a remedy forthe oppressed victims is at hand. All that is necessary is for them to assert their rights and de mand the interference of the Courts in their behalf, and not only the victims but every individual in this county is interested on removing the blighting curse of these infamous harpies who infest our streets, and carry in their own countenances the evidence of guilt as they sneak to and from their " barberons shops" and th> offices of Record, and public indignation should fasten upon them such a stigma that a respectable dog will fail to notice them. Their "publican" prayers that blas pheme the House of God on the Holy Sab bath, and stand as a "stumbling block" to the rising youth in their christian training should not shield them from a righteous judgment. The combined indignation of this community should fall upon them as they 4 oreli upon the misfortunes of their fellow men during the week by their heinous extortions. These modern "Publicans," in addition to their doctrine of "no law," but "let us regulate things," have had their mouths stretched Wm ear to ear, proclaiming the " SACREDNESS OP A CONTRACT," if made to them under duress of circumstances to rob the indigent of their hard earnings— Ohl 12(ow sacred such contracts have .become in-their eyes. They not only rob their victims and. distrees their wives and children, hnt'ihelendeavor to. intimidate - them to prevent a public exposure of their damnable villainy by the cry that a aeon tract is spored, you must not go back on that." How about Jaws? Are-they sacred or were they enacted for bombastic flourish A "Dick Turpin," or a "Six teen String Jack" under this same prin ..cipleof "sacredness of contract" might say that when he placed his pistol at the head of the benighted traveler and dernsiaded oyoor money or your life," and then and there the victim made a "sacred contract" a to deliver ; hismoney in preference, that he should not avail himself of the law to punish highwaymen and secure hie stolen *veil, Oh no! It matters not under what duress of circemstances a contract is made, or by what law it is forfeited, it must be held sacred. We believe a contract made with a highwaymen, who displays some courage is, mere binding than with him who takes d'cowardly advantage of the straitened. circumstances of his neigh bor. • Will the people be, frightened by such infamous bugbears from claiming their rights under the law ?` We counsel every man who has not paid tllo usnrydemand ed to withliold it as tlie law directs, and alI who have, to not allow the allotted six nl4lOlOlO pass without instituting pro ceedings to recover it back "God helps them who helps themselves." far.,Ea-GovtRNO.T. CURTIS Coco HONE,—We understand that Governor Curtin, Minister of the United States at St Petersburg, has...resigned that position, and will return to bis haute in Pennsyl vania within a month or two. This resigna tion is - not altogether unexpected, and has a political significance at this time, which will soon find authoritative expression in, cl i k ro an - important form. The frien of Gov Curtin have been systematically, scrib ed. 1.1 tke administration, thrbugh the controlling influence of Mr. Cameron, not only in the distribution of patronage, but in every form of political consideration in the Republican party. - They are' power- Jul enough to make their strength felt in the Presidential canvass, and hare all the tlisposition to redress past grieva4aces.-- The Legislatare adjourned at neon oti Thariday, the 4th i6stant. "Independent' , Nentrnlh. We have three of the most " indepen den t " neutral papers in . Susquehanna ' county that can be found in: any restless of the common wealth of Pennsylvan perhaps we may say in the Union: We hare one styledthe "Independent" Repub: lictin, at Montrose, which seems to be very dependent on "Rings" and "cliques," and "independent" of saying any thing in favor of, the flagrant abuse of their power for fear-of injuring "our' party at Washing ton," and neutral on, all subjects of vital importance to the local - welfare of, the county, unless forced by circumstances to say "Amen.",. -We ban two others, the Northern Per and. the Risque henna Journal that are "independent" of saying one word that can be construed as Conserving -to promote true Democratic principles, and very dependent for their local support upon Democrats, which is the grand sequel to thOir bottled-up Rad icalism, which usually, however, is uncork= ed a little just before every election. We do not refer to this subject out of any "malice prepense or aforethought," but from pure motives of sympathy, and we ask the indulgence of a generous pub lic, for any man or set of men who are af fected with such cowardly fear are more the objects of pity than of censure. We are Illaukfa 0,A4 Um 'Junk* io otoo con tagious or infectious, but merely a con stitutional deformity, or the DEMOCRAT might be "taken down" with it.. If we "come down," the people of this county must be pretty well assured by this time, it dill be from some other cause.— We are fighting for no Ring or Clique, nor for the agrandizement of ourself or any particular individuals, neither shall we conserve our opinions to suit the fancy of any man or set of men nor allow our gun to be spiked by their asperity, but on all subjects.of local as well as national in terest we shall level. our battery at injus tice and corruption; and whether,, Repub licans or Democrats be within its range they must -beat a retreat or take the wound& Local Option Law. As the saying is, and which. maybe car reelly applied in this case, a Radical Legis lature has "been and gone and done it" on the temperance question, iri the passage of a local option humbug, in attaching to the bill a most flagrant monopoly and whisky life preserver in a very covert man ner by the following provisions: "Provided that nothing contained in the provisions of this act shall prevent the issuing of licenses to druggists for the sale of liqntirs for medical and manufac turing purposes." This islocal option with a vengeance.— It makes it merely "optional" with the people whethertthey will vote the sale of liquor into the bands of alew men to sell it by the pint and jngfull or allow equal rights in this matter. Will some one in terested show us the benefits of prohibi tion "on that line ?" We think it will take all summer." What an immense amount of "mechanical" work will be done, s snch as raising barns, etc., and how wonderfully prevalent the cholera-morbus and. other colic affictions will be when such a monopoly exists ? If the sale and manufacture of liquor is a sin and a curse it is as much so in the hands a druggists as in the bawls of landlords. It appears very much to us as if the framers and en acters of this lace' bad a good large bottle of French brandy in their coat-tail pockets to "wet their whistles," presented them by some druggist, when they filled the balls of our Capitol with their fumigations of Radical temperance. Our faith in tem, perance politicians was very much tried in this county last fall, but our faith in tem perance legislators is "clean gone" now by this specimen of their "labor." TIM Memory of Morse. Wesnurerro:s April 6.—At a meeting of the National Morse Telegraph Asso ciation held Last evening to arrange for a , demonstration in respect to the memory of Professor Morse, a're,solntion was sub mitted and adopted requesting thepeople of the United States to meet in their re spective cities, towns and villages on the evening of the 15th of April at 8 o'clock to give expression to the loss sustained by the world in the death of Professor. Morse, and to bold simultaneous commix mention by telegraph with the assembly, orthe people's representatives and the citizens of. Washington and the district of Columbia convened for-a like purpose in the capital of the nation. A resolution was also adopted instruc ting the committee of arrangements to correspond with the presidents of the dif ferent railroad companies, requesting them to issue commutation tickets to such per as may attend by invitation the coni-. memorative meeting in this city.

The Journal of Chnunerce incemment lug on the new born zeal of the adminis tration in prosecuting the parties charged with being engaged in whisky frauds, says: "This is a late day to attempt the recovery of the many millions "of dollars alleged to have been unlawfully withheld from the government when: the whisky tax Was two dollars a gallon; Years have elapsed since the frauds were perpetrated, Some of the offenders and .witnesses dead or out of the conntryv - Aioofs and records have been torn up or otherwise have mysteriously disapplared. The gov ernment thus puts itself in a most-dis advantageous position, if the move it is now making is sincere and earnest. While we warmly approve of every effort, at however late a date, to vindicate the laws, we cannot refrain from asking why all 'this was not undertaken before. 'Rumors of whisky frauds were in all inen's months four and five years ago. Some distillers and some government officials were cur rently reported to have made fortunes by cheating or coniving at Ifrauds. The same administration agentOrho now ex hibit such bustling energy in proceeding against the ancient whisky ring, or what is left of it, have been in office ever since President Grant took his seat. It would be far better for the cause of justice and the interests of the treasuryhad this novel exhibition- of zeal been of much older origin. The effect of its display now is only to arouse suspicion :that political motives have something to, do with the demonstration. There is an inordinate amount of thunder, but little lightning. The government agents woUld have seem ed to be more in earnest had they kept back from the administration organs those long details of secret operations and find ing. of grand jury indicliments, which, being printed only serve to put guilty dis tillers on their guard and defeat the ends of justice. It would havOv-looked more like genuine businega had; publicity not been sought for these facts before the first arrest had been made. Men belonging to the republican liberal wing declare that the whole thing is a trick to call off at tention from the custom house fronds, of the present add set simple-minded peo ple to thinking only of the old whisky swindles of President Johnson's day, and that the government does not expect to recover a dollar or care abOut convicting anybody, but look for a decided enhance ment of political capital for the campaign. We have no evidence before us to sustain these opinions, the product, it may be, of faction feeling and prejudice. The future will show what the government is really. after, and by that will we judge it. If the whisky delinquents, or any of them, are diligently prosecuted and 'money re covered, then we shall see:that the gov ernment is not April-fooling the public. But while it is doing that! good work it shoild by no means omWto deal out re tribution on the custom house and other official swindlers pow going scot free. Even as a petty questions of political policy—if such a Consideration must have weight—we believe that the administra tion would stand much better before the country if it would carryi the war right intolhe ranks of its friends. It might lose a few votes by the act, but it would give the lie to those statements current in the opposition press, whiCh attribute to the President an undue desire to shield his apilointees to office, and would , make new friends. Too mach delay will render conviction difficult in that class of frauds, as we fear it will in those of the whisky ar McClure don't snit - the Radicals. They are already crying 'put: .'treason."

They are waiting there for a most ter rible malady to take possessing of them, and after putting them to torture a thou sand times worse than that of the inqui sition, to destroy their lives. When a mad dog killed by Campbell, at Liberty, several days ago, was on its destroying mission throughout the country, these tgo men crossed its path and received its terrible bite. The mad stone was applied, but, fearing and doubting its efficacy, 'they prepared for the fearful ordeal of an attack .of hydro phobia.

In 1869, hydrate of chloral sold for 880 a pound; so that each "sleep" produced by cost, at wholesale prices $l. Now a German chemical factor3r sells it for $2 per pound. Its use as a narcotic has attained_ enor mous proportions. According to official statistics, within the last 18 months four dealers have sold, in:England, 40 tons, enough to put 36,000,000 people to ifleep. The new drug is more dangerous than the old because the system gradually .be comes callous to the effects of opium while every dose of chloral makes-, it more sensitive. A. dose, of 180 grains would be fatal; but, in the establishments we have mentioned, the-ordinary allow ance is stated at 120 grains.
