think il more genteel TO howl i'll the Brokers
Board than to follow the plow, or dig, or ditch.
Let him tell them how much sweeter and more
wholesome is the air Of his little farm than the
miasma which trading in money generates.
Why run headlong into temptation Ihere
are honest brokers' of course for, II there were
not, brokerage would become extinct tomorrow;
but how often these arc prostrated by the SINS
of their less scrupulous neighbors! And as for
usefulness the farm-work carries it all hollow.
A man who raises one turnip or one potato so
far adds to the apprecable wealth OF the world.
How much does that man add who bulls
this stock and bears that, and specuiates
in fluctuations and buys and sells what
he never secs, and never wants to see, ana
never expects to see but who is supported and
may even get rich in the shadOwy business OF
settling differences7 We do not mean to say,
of course, that there is no bottom at all to this
trading in money; but, for too many VINO
engage in it, it is bOttOmless business only
leading to bottomless pit. Ii nobody were
left in Wall-st but the solid, staid old fellows,
who never run more than reasonable risks, and
do no more than legitimate business, such as
other trade needs and will support, office rents
would soon go down in that crowded thorough
fare, and banking could be carried on in
doors, without wearing out pavements and
without debauching consciences. Every
year. however, come fresh recruits from
the country, apprentices to the art of making
money out of nothing and whose final ruin
can be calculated with almost mathematical
certainty. Now we ask our young country friends,
all eager to crowd into New-York, and to get
rich in five or ten years, if it be worth while
to risk so mucll-mind, heart, conscience,
morals-fOr the sake of fortune; and that,
too, when statistics show how much of a lot
terry it all is, how surely more than half
of those thus adyenturing must fail,
aud what wear and tear 1t Is
upon the physical constitution. We be-
lieve that the aggregate of wretchedness,
crime madness, ill-health, anxiety, and despair
in Wall-st since the paper money mania began,
is greater than that of the same wretched
experiences at all the gaming-tables since Ba-
den Baden was founded and rouge ct noir in
vented by the devil. If people will crowd here
to trade in money, they must do it with their
eyes wide open to the dreadful risks, or else
they don t read the newspapers. Why will they
not heed the voice Of warning crying from more
than one penitentiary, and more than one sui
cdc's grave, and stick to their acres, however
narrow and sterile?

CNTTING 10TH WAYS.

A Johnson paper indorses the proposed inn
parchment of Coy. Wells of Louisiana. The
charges are first, that trentU-Sir gears ago he
was a defaulter A very suspicious antiquity,
to say the least. The second is that he was
solely responsible for the New-0rleans sIot,
"the only person to be blamed, and guilty of
" all the blood that has been she'd" To prove
this latter Charge, the Secretary of State, the
Attorney General, and the Mayor of New-0r-
leans are witnesses. The johnson paper argues
that this impeachment should prOceed-that the
Radicals should court it," for "thc whole
country is interested, because the investga-
=" ton will be something beside mere political
"pretense, and will show whether or not Wells
"had legal right to call the July Convention !;
whether or not the assemblage was lawful
"one and if the calling and assemblage Of
" the Convention was not the real cause of the
" July riot. Such an investigation will reduce
" the mass of verbiage in the Eliot report to a
simple question of fact, and will satisfy the
"entire public outside of the Radical party, as
" to the person OF persons upon whom the re-
"sponsibility of the July riot really rests"
ii is bad rule that will not work both
ways. This johnson paper thinks Gov. Wells
is to blame for the riot in New-Oreans
But several millions of people think Presi-
dent Johnson is responsible. The johnson
journal thinks Mayor Monroe and his friends
are competent witnesses. Several millions of
men apart from certain scruples about capital
punishment think the aforesaid Mayor and a
dozen of his friends might be justly hanged.
Ii Wells il to be investigated" why should
not Johnson be investigated 2" And if the
Radicals should "court T" the impeachment of
Wells, why should the Copperheads not court
the impeachment Of Johnson Wells is q
sovereign" Governor, and Johnson is a SOW
ereign President. If impeachment is good in
Louisiana, why is it not good iu Washington
II is not any moro absurd in one place than in
the other.

TR1DTNG IN MONEY.

There are various kinds of money in the
world as hush-mOney earnest-money drink
money, hard-money, peltries, cOwries, National
bank-n and the fingered, greasy. frnged,
and smutchcd promises of the United States of
America TO pay the bearer three cents on de-
mand-promses like lovers VOWS, in everything
except fragrance 1t may, however. be safely
asserted that the meancst kind Of money, with
out regard TO its form or show, is the money
which deludcd brokers allow themselves to
steal for the purpose of private speculation, with
a sort of salvc 10 the conscience of good inten-
tion (or hcll's paving -stonc) of returning duly
and honestly after profitable use. 1t
never seems to suggest itself to these
peculators that there may be theft of use as
well as a theft of principal, and that the profit
of stolen money is no more theirs than the
money itself This, however, is a stretch of
philosophical morality, which it would be weak
TO look for in Wall-st., or in State-st.-locali-
ties il-ftted for the cultivation of the soft
niceties of sensitive conscience. For this
obliquity the world is partly to blame, because
it will respect wealth, however acquired-that
is if its makers keep on the shady side of the
law II appreciates the result, and does not
bother itself about the quOcunque mod0.
If we knew of any remedy for this unpleas-
ant state of things, we would publish it
in our most corpulent typo; but this is fool
ish old world, and society is by no means so
wise as it should be. 1t had an opportunity
lately, however, of growing wiser. There
was a sort of jubilee of defalcations. The
swindlers operated in swarms Rascality de-
veoped itself in great force and variety. Bos-
ton beat New York, so to speak, upon its own
ground. Copper stocks fell like Satan from
heaven false checks il0ated about like snow
flakes; every five minutes there was anew de-
velopment and new panic; down went a
respectable house; down went two 're-
"spectabler banks; and the trouble reached
even the august arcana OF the independent
Treasury. Then came to O,lr ears tldlngs OF
heavy bank defalcation in Baltimore. Then,
not TO he behindhand, NewYork had its own
little crop of financial rascalities We do not
know that there will be any more explosions;
and ignorance, in such case, is q kind of COM
fort
There IL, of course moral TO bc deduced
from these downfalls; bnt whether it will be of
any use to point it out to u community half
crazcd by initiation, is a question. If there be
any farmer who reads these lines, and who
sigls over the sterility of his fields, the small
ness of his crops, and the uncertainty OF his
mofits, who is weary of hard labor, and pines
for the fevered activity of the stock exchange,
il may do him good to be reminded how full OF
pitfalls and ,snares is that place where men
most do congrcgate. He has boys growing up
around him, all of them hungry for the city,
anxious to become suddenly opqlenn WHO

A small league Of insurance companies in this
city, having lost heavily on Jewish property of
late, have suddenly declined all further risks
thereon This act is as uncommercial and alb
surd as possible; but, nevertheless, four or tive
insurance companies have perpetrated it, and
as it seems, TO their own great risk. The Jews
make up a wealthy part of the community, and
the insurance company which refuses them
might as well close all business for the future
with business men. They can be still more
chary of their fayors, if it be a favor to be
insured by the ant-Jew league of companies,
and deny risks at pleasure 10 all classes of

The latest advices from South America. which

France had been promptly refused. as would

The Judiciary Committee reported to the
Senate yesterday substitute for the House
Supplementary bill to the Reconstruction act,
which is, we think, an improvement. 1t agrees
with the House bill in directing a registration of
the loyal people Of the Rebel States to be made
before September I, and authorizes them to vote
after taking an oath that they are qualified by
the act of March 2-for delegates to State Con-
ventiOns. and in authorizing the Conventions to
form Constitutions, which, after approval by a
majority of the registered voters and by Con-
gresS, will enttle such States TO representation
in Congress The new bill more fully prescrbes
the method in which the registrations and
elections shall be conducted more definitely
fixes the duties Of the District Commanders !;
and requires the delegates to each Convention
to first determine by vote whether the people
of the State wish loyal civil government.

The President has appointed the Command
ing Generals Of the five Military Districts into
which the Act of March 2 divided the Rebel
territory. TO the First District Gen. Schofeld
is assigned commanding Virginia, and to the
second, including the Carolinas, Gen. Sicbles.
The President finally and wisely decided
not to withdraw Gen. George H. Thomas
from the territory he has so long commanded,
but has assigned him TO the Third District,
which includes Georgia, Florida, and Alabama,
and needs able and experienced government.
Gen. Ord is assigned to the Fourth District,
comprising Mississippi and Arkansas and to
the Fiftll-LOuisiana and Texas-Gen Sheri-

How, then, is the Reform question to be
settled, and by whomi The Derby Ministry
are evidently in labyrinth of difficulty, as is
apparent from the course they have pursued
since the opening of Parliament. In the first
instance, they adopted the almost unprecc-
dented course of introducing resolutions, with
the view of throwing the responsibility Of
passing measure upon the House of Com
mons but the House declined to assume that
responsibility, and so the resolutions were with
drawn, and bill promised by certain day.
The day arrived, but the bill was not forth
coming, and further time was asked for by the
Government, and granted by the Commons.
Meanwhile, dissensions arose among the mem
bers of the Cabinet, some of whom, it appears.
objected to concessions of too liberal
character to the Reformers, the result
being the resignation of three Of the
most prominent members of the Government,
thus rendering necessary reconstruction
of the Cabinet And now we hear of expected
compromises among the different parties in
Parliament, and of hopes that in this way har
monious action may yet be secured, and
measure perfected that viii meet the necessi-
ties of the case. But the people outside OF
Parliament are not satisfied with the nice lit
tie expedients which are to convert the House
into happy family" and arrangements have
accordingly been made for continuing the agi-
tation of the Reform question, by means of
mass meetings and other demonstrations, both
in London and the provinces Most significant
fact of all-John Bright, if we are to believe
the statements of the London press, has yir-
tually separated himself from his old po-
litcal friends in the Commons and though he
has not as yet openly declared in favor OF
manhood suffrage, it is notorious that his SYM
pathies are entirely with the Reformers of the
League. As the question stands at present.
then, the issue is no longer between the Tories
and the Liberals in Parliament, but between
Parliament and the people. The fight is in
reality between aristocracy and democracy.
The struggle which is at hand may he severe
one, but the result cannot be doubtful.

in Committee of the Whole yesterday and, for
wonder. Mr.. Fernando Wood opposed it..
while his brother, Mr.. Ben. Wood, was urging
