Money Market.-Future Prospects
The commercial article of the last N.
Y. Independent, contains the following
in respect to the Money Market:
The market is still troubled with ex-
cessive abundance Of capital, seeking in
vain for active employment. The bank
balances do not diminish and the spe-
Gle accumulated is yet so large, with so
little being exported, that the surplus
beyond bank wants is not likely to be
absorbed. 1t is not likely to run down
below S30,O00,0OO; for the California
receipts Il 100000 were re ceived thenO
This state Of the money market is to be
lamented. 1t shows a great contrac-
ton of trade. The ordinary business of
the country has undergone a collapse
not speedily to be overcome. More
stimulus is needed, and that is not like
ly to come this current year. A glut of
money exists. What is the remedy p
More trade and commerce. But the ex-
listing channels are clogged more or less
by debts by distrust, by the fear ofloss.
Capitalists cannot or will not venture
their money. There is no speculation
no enterprise to correspond with the
means available. Business altogether
IS of meddllng character. Uncurrent
money is also universally circumscribed
III its circulation from the same causes.

OLD TINE BLACK REPUBLICANS
The principle is this, and will ever re-
man IN force, that men, by nature are
free. 1t is so conceded on all hands,
that the right to be free can never be al
ienated. Continental Congress.
1t is among my first wishes to see
some plan by which slavery in this coun-
try may be abolished bylaw.-W ashing-

Slavery is contrary to the law of ma
ture and of nations.-William Writ
Sla,ery is repugnant to the principle
of Christianity; it prostrates every be-
nevolent action of the human heart

The way, 1 hope, is preparing under
the auspices of Heaven, for a total eman-

Eg- A letter from Jerusalem announ-
ces the expectation of caravan of $50
Americans from Boston; direct to Jaffa,
by special steamer. They come armed
with revolvers instead of scallop shells,
and it is well for them, as a certain Alb
ougosh is giving trouble south west OF
the holy city, and also certain Faquir,
against whom the Governor of Jerusa-
lem has lately marched with two field
pieces aud force Of four hundred Ba-
