The EmiSSarieS Abroad.

The colporteurs of the Locofoco party
are traversing the State in large numbers,
and with great industry are endeavoring
to induce the people to vote for Pierce and
King. In the counties Of Schuylkill, Car
bon, and others, where large numbers of
the foreign population reside, they are ex-
ceedingiy busy, and are making immense
exertions to keep their men in the fold
Large amounts of money, we are told,
have been placed at the disposal of these
men, for the purpose ofinHuencing voters,
and lying documents are scattered like
the dust before the winds. Friends of
Scott, are you watching those paid ennis
saries! Look to the outposts, and see
that your forces are all in the field. You
have an unscrupulous foe to contend with,
who will stop at nothing for the purpose
of defeating you.

Suspicion Of Murder.

Officers Smith and McCord, of the
Fifth Ward, yesterday arrested two men,
named Thomas Nealis and Hugh Murry,
the former runner and the latter bar
tender, connected with the public house
of one Brannigan, in the West, near Du-
ane st.-on suspicion of having caused
the death of Mr.. Christopher Millen, of
Wilkes-barre, Pa. gentleman 20 years of
age, who has been missed since last Thus
day morning. 1t appears that about
o'clock on Thursday morning Mr. Millen
and wife reached the City in steamboat
from Piermont and landed at the foot of
Duane st. Scarcely had the boat touched
the dock before a hoast of runners and
hotel agents rushed aboard for the pur-
pose of soliciting guests for the public
houses they represented. Among them
were the accused, who induced Mr.. Mil
len to take apartments at the house above
referred to; and he with his wife went
there, leaving their baggage on board the
boat, Mr.. NJ, however, felt somewhat un-
easy about his baggage, which consisted Of
three large black trunks, and, accompanied
by the accused, went out to go to the boat
to have it brought up, but for some reas-
on they returned without it. but soon af-
terward all again started for the boat,
and since that time neither Mr. Millen nor
his baggage have been seen, He haG on
his person 500 in money, and Sl25 more
in one of the trunks The accused, on
being questioned as to where they left
Mr.. Millen, refused give any satisfactory
statement as to the manner in which they
became separated from him. This con-
duet was deemed suspicious, and it is sur
missed that they have, to get possession of
of his money and other property, knocked
him overheard, after having first robbed
him. They were taken before Justice
Bogart and locked up to await examina-
ton. Mr.. NJ. had been married but six
weeks, and was on his way to Roundout,
to establish himself in business. His wife
is still at Brannigan's House, 7fi6''ns

Our Money Matters.

There Is at present pressure upon the
money market, or, in other words, our
banks are unable to meet the demands of
customers who want money in their or
dinary business. This state of things has,
no doubt, been unexpected seeing that
our imports of gold from California are
so large A few words will explain this,
and from them it will be seen that the
causes which have produced this state of
things will continue to increase the pres
sure,-at least till light remedy is ap-
Piled.
The gold we get from California comes
here to be sure, but it only stays here
long enough to be coined, and then it goes
forward to Europe. 1t goes there because
it is oaced there. 1t goes to pay for our
imports of European goods. If we i'm
ported less from Europe, we should, of
course, have less to pay for in gold. Eu-
rope takes all our Cotton and Rice and
Tobacco, and largely of all our other pro-
duce, but this is not enough to pay for all
we buy of Europe. A large balance must
be paid for in gold.
Gold comes from California about twice
a month, and it goes from us to Europe
twice week Our banks therefore, are
kept close. Now, suppose we sent to Cal
ifornia the manufactures of our own work
shops instead of the manufactures of Eu-
ropean workshops. Then the gold which
would come from California would stay
here, and we should have no pressure up
on our money market. But how is this
to be accomplished There is only one
way, and that is by putting such duty
on foreign fabrics as would enable our
own workshops and factories and mines
mainly to supply our own wants. This
alone will enable us to have an easy mo-
ney market, and enable us the better to
carry to completion on our own means and
capital the various channels of intercom-
munication which more and more will de-
velope our own resources, bring points of
our own country now distant more & more
near, enable our people to interchange
their own industry, and become more and
more connected with each other in one
happy and prosperous national family.
But such e system is called by certain
leading politicians Anti Democratic 1t
is called 'Whig policy Well, so it is,
but which system is best for the country!"
Let this question be pondered on and an
swered by all sound minded citizens

The Pennsylvania coal company are
enlarging their coal yard in n. York, and
when completed it will be 500 feet wide,
by 800 feet deep. There are 100 men
and about so horses employed in and a.
bout the yard constantly. In addition
to these, there are 400 canal boats con-
tinually transferring coal from the mines
in the northern part of Pennsylvania to
the yard, which employ some 1000 men
to man them. The receipts, at present,
average 1900 tons of coal landed at the
yard daily, which at So per ton, would
be worth $4,000 per day, or $40, 900 per
week, and 81 ,s72, 900 in one year.

Look cut for Fraudulent Tickets!

The Daily News" of the 23d
inst. says: 1--WE are credibly in
formed that an electoral ticket
was yesterday struck off at Lo
cofoco establishment in this city,
which is evidently intended to be
distributed over the State, with a
view to mix it up with the Whig
tickets on the day Of election
wherever an opportunity is af-
forded to do SO. The ticket thus
struck off has the appearance of
the Wing Electoral ticket, and
has at its head the first three or
four names of the Wing ticket;
and after those every other name
is that of a Locofoco elector
Friends of SCOTT! we eau
tion YOU to beware Of this fraud!

been thoroughly canvassed, and the fol-
lowing is the asccrtained strength of the
candidates. For Scott $4,000; Pierce
5000; Hale, $4,000; Webster 5000
This canvass has been made in order to
show friends at a distance, that the
talk of running down the. Scott ticket in
Massachusetts,, is mere sham, got up,
and kept up, not with the expectation of
deluding anybody alhome by SO great a
farce, but for the sole purpose ,ofgmaking
political capital in other States.

The Troy Wing says that within a few
days past. Martin Van Buren, expressed
the opinion that the prospect of General
Scott's election had improved immensely
in the last few weeks, and that if his
chances continued to brighten until the
election, he would be chosen President
In this opinion every intelligent observer
must concur. The fact is having its in
fuence upon politicians as well as the mas
ses. The knowing ones of the Opposition
know that Mr.. Van Buren is right, but
they will continue to deceive the people
with opposite pretensions. Letth Wings
only continue to throw the grape and all
will be well. .....

German, late Democratic Senator from
Cincinnati, and, at the close Of the pro-

Germans, who had previously been strong
Democrats, signed declaration that they
had been misled as to the character and

next election, they will "vote the Wing
