Is Money Scarce?-w why Scarce?

Is money ocdIct WY Sc'''
While we have nearly ten hundred millions
Of paper money. somewhere in use-in the
various shapes of greenbacks, compound in
terest notes. held In lieu Of greenbacks, ma
tional bank notes and postal currency-the
common, the universal cry Is, moneys
scarcew What's the mattery
The Philadelphia Lcdger-and it should
not be charged with disloyalty, for It Is a
very "indepcndeut" sheet-tells us that the
trouble is not a want of money, but want
Of credit There is a general dtsirust
throughout the country, and those VINO
hold property are indisposed to let 60 their
hold OF IL without reliable consideration.
Few are willing to trust the future, believ-
ing that almost all prices are ON the decline,
and that they viii not stop in their down
ward course until they touch point as far
below real values as they have recently
been above them. Aud the very apprehen-
sion Of this forcgoue conclusion helps to
hurry us on to the final catastrophe and
would do so were the volume Of currency
twice IN amount what it Is.
It matters little that money Is plenty and
chcan in its exchaugeable value Is those
owning will not let It 60 until the hazard
OF its loss is fully covered by reliable Sc
curity What the business of the country
most needs is confidence in the future
when a good, substantial conviction pos
sesses mems minds that lowest prices have
been touched, and that thereafter they will
steadily advance, the want Of currency will
be no bar to enterprise.
IfCongress viii leave of talking and drop
thrce-fourths of their schemes to cure that
which is not in their power to control, the
more favorable change hoped for will the
more earlier come. But so long rs public
credulity is flattered with theidea that busi-
ness may be rendered active by a simple
enactment that the currency ofthe country
shall be more or less, or of one kind or an
other just so long is wholesome reform and
regeneration of trade delayed. Such ideas
are but stumbling blocks in the way OF
reaching earliest the bottom and the steady
rise thereafter.

The Impending Swindle.

OF the tariff bill, which is now being so
carefully manipulated by the Yankee in
terests of New England and Pennsylvania,
the New York EosniRg Post thus speaks
the Post being, too, a Radical organ:
This atr0cious swindle upon the farm
ers, mechanics and working-men of the
United States ought to be called a bill to
still further increase the prevailing high
prices, and TO grind the faces of American
wOrking-men.' That will be its effect if il
becomes law it will further raise prices
add greatly to the cost of home production
thereby entirely disable us from trading
with the rest of the world, and make the
country poorer and poorer all the time"
What kind of yillainous compound mast
it be, to be thus Indignantly branded by q
leading Radical organ?

Ohio Legislature to amend the Constitu-

that this vote can be secured, as neither
House is ever full, and as the representa-
tives from the Southern part of the State
are not very jealous for the change.

ATTEMPTED RAPE-THE M1scKEANT KILLED
We learn by passengers by the river boats, on
Wednesday, that on Sunday afterternoon last, ne
gro named Archibald Beebe attempted to commit
rape upon the person OF young lady of Fay
etteyile, while returning from church that after
noon. The lady resided outside the limits of the
town, and when about half mile from the gu
burbs, was attacked by this yilainous negro, who
violently assaulted her, and dragged her to the
roadside, choking her so severely as to her
neck to be considerably swollen, but before lie
succeeded in choking her efectualy, the lady
screamed three times. Her cries attracted the at
tention of an old negro woman near by, who came
upon them and caused the miscreant to abandon
his Prey before he had accomplished his fiendish
purpose.
The lady reported this fact to her friends and
relatives, and the would-be ravisher was appre-
heuded that night and afterwards identified By
the lady. The negro was confined in the guard
house and was brought forth on Monday afternoon
for trial.
After the case had been investigated by ma
gstrate and the negro was being returned to pris-
Gu, in charge of the sheriff and his officers, be
was demanded by a party of the ladies' friends
The sheriff refused to comply with their demand,
and general melee ensued. Pistols and knives
were drawn, and q shot was fired by one Of the
party, which, taking effect in the negroes head,
produced almost instantaneous death. In the
confusion it was impossible to ascertain who fired
the fatal shot.
The utmost excitement prevails in Fayetteville
in consequence of this event, which is impossi-
bic to describe. The negro was q notOriously bad
character, and his end. although sudden and I'M
lawful, was justly merted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-P. M.
! SESATE.-Mr. Pomeroy presented petition from
Arkansas loyalsts, asking an amendment to Mr..
EIiott's bill, to include Arkansas.
! Mr.. Wade moved to take up AIr. Elliotts House
bill, hoping that Senator's would be brief in their
arguments.
Mr.. Lane asked to proceed with the regular bu-
siness Mr.. Wade said if the bill was not acted on
Immediately, it could not become a law this
session. The Chair decided that the bill could
be read once, but it required unanimous consent
to so further a vote was taken, and it passed
by vote of % to 10. The bill was read, and Mr.
Hendricks objected to further proceeding, and the
bill lays over.
The Military committee were discharged from the
further consideration of the bill to pay the Ten
nessee Homo Guards.
The League Island bill was discussed
The Secretary Of War was called on for the au-
thority to appoint commissioner during the war
to adjust the war claims Of loyal Tennesseeans,
and the amount and the nature Of the claims ad-
Indicated.
Mr. Wade read dispatch from Colorado mass
meeting, requesting admission.
HoUsE.-Proceedings generally unimportant-
Mr.. Stevens bill came up. He moved the pre-
vious question. which was negatived Mr.. Stevens
proposed an amendment, which, on objection, he
withdrew, saying he had tried vanly to satisfy the
gentlemen around him. Mr.. Boutwell, argued
that the Supreme Court might decide that States
were still States, and entitled to representation
which would cause hazardous conflict, but if the
bill passed, the Supreme Court would have no gov
eminent to re-OrganiZe. Congress would keep in
its own hands the political of their
States by passing bill at two o'clock. Mr.. Ste
vens again moved the previous question, which
was negatived. Mr.. Bingham spoke in opposition
and took occasion to highly eulogize Mr.. Elliotts
bill. Mr.. Blaine moved the previous question, to
refer the bill to the Judiciary committee, which
was seconded. Mr.. Stevens spoke half an hour,
he complained pathetical1y, defended the recon-
struction committee, abused Mr.. Bingham and
opposed Mr.. Elliott's bill because it mentioned
something to be done which looked like finality
leading to admission.
This proposition was re9ted with, no no. Mr.
Sheaberger explained that there was special
provision in Mr.. Elliot's bill requiring the assent
of Congress to the proposed admission. Mr.. Ste
vens seemed to be regaiping his lost favor. The
main question WAS taken Oh Blains motion to re-
fer to the, Judiciary committee--the Democrats
generally voted with B!aine-two ma jorty against
Blaine. The bill then passed by vote of 100 to
So. Mr.. Stevens exulting the final success of
mis- bill asked the Speaker if it in order for
him to endorse the declaration of good old Laserts
that Heaven yet ruled, and that there were gods
above.
Mr. Stevens bill, as passed, reads so-called
Confederate States, instead of so-called States.
