OF INTEREST TO MONEY LENDERS AND
BORROWERS. —Judge Williams of Tioga
county haiS rendered a -decision in regard
to usurious interest which does not ac
cord with the views of all the members of
the Bench in the state. The judge states
his position in unequivical language, and
he will probably be sustained by the Su
preme Court. Most judges here hold
that an amicable revival of a judgment
barred the defendant from claiming an
offset on account of illegal interest.
Judge Williams thinks it does not. The
decision was rendered in the case of
Smith vs Elliott in Tioga county. The
Judge says:
"On examination of the evidence, it
seems that 12 per cent, was paid upon
the sum loaned until September, 1877,
when the last payment of interest was
made prior to the judgment on the
amicable scire facias. Before the next
year ended this judgement was obtained.
During the whole time, therefor, preced
ing the judgment now sought to be open
ed, the rate of twelve per cent, had been
paid, except for the first year, and for
that year it had been included in the note.
"If we refuse to open this judgment, it
is difficult to see under what circumstan
ces we ought to extend relief. The open
ing of a judgment is said to be a matter
of discretion, but that discretion is to be
exercised in accordance with decided
cases. The act of 1858 and the cases un
der it leave no reason to doubt that the
defendant has the right to refuse pay
ment and retain the stipulated usury.
The court is not the keeper of the defend
ant's conscience, but the custodian of his
legal rights; and as the defendant in this
case invokes the aid of the Act of Assem
bly, we see no legal reason for refusing
it. The rule is therefor made absolute.
Issue to be made by the entry by defen
dant of the plea of payment with leave."
In this conclusion, after examination,
the Court are unanimous.
The Tribune Almanac, does not have any
enclyclopiedic aims. It is a common
sense manual of American politics intend
ed for actual use by a practical public.
The general table of contents of the
present issue will be familiar to the pub
lic. After the calendar and astronomical
observations is placed a digest of the
public laws of the regular and extra ses
sions of Congress, with summaries of the
party platforms adopted in 1871) and the
Constitutional Amendments enacted and
sanctioned in the various States.
The Almanac has been compiled by the
lion. Edward McPherson, a statistician
of National reputation, who has conduct
ed the series for several years. The
price remains as before—twenty-live
cents for each copy—with the usual dis
count to the trade. The Almanac for
1880 will be sent post-paid to any address
in the United States, on receipt of price,
and all orders will receive immediate at
tention.
At Chicago in 18(58 not a single vote
was cast against the nomination of Gen-
Grnnt. At Philedelphia in 1872 the same
record was made. No other President in
our history enjoyed such unanimity of
support among his partisans for two con
secutive terms. And now that the third
term spook has been allayed by the inter
mission of four years since the close of
his last administration, it is not imprba
ble that atChichgo next June this same
record will be repeated again.— Washing
ton Republican.
The signs of the times give assurance
of a slow but steady revival of business
enterprises in the old world as a retlex
of the condition of things in the new.
There it must necessarily be much more
tardy than with us, the number out of
employment being larger and the compe
tition from this side of the water so
pressing and marked. This is shown by
, our ability to successfully com; etc with
many European manufacturers upon their
own ground and in the markets of all the
nations of the world.
The simple announcement that the Tri
bune Almanac for 1880 is now ready is the
only hint that the American public re
quires in refTerence to this annual regis
ter. This is the only almanac published in
the United States that has a national rep
utation. The eclectic principle lies at
the base of a thoroughally digested alma
nac.
