O. n. YOUNG Is TROUBLE.
Arrested ON several Charges.

Arrested ON Several Charges.
A member of the Metropolitan Police
named F. 3. Frederick, yesterday swore
out warrant against Ogilyie Byron
Young, for carrying sword cane. He was
arraigned before Esq. Matthews, who i'm
posed upon him fine Of five dollars, and
in addition to the regular cosIs, required
him to pay fifty dollars in accordance with
section 1850 Of the Code, which provides
that any civil officer arresting and prose-
cutting to conviction any person guilty of
this ofIense, shall be entitled to the sam of
fifty dollars, to be taxed in the bill of costs.
Upon the top Of this case, he was arrest
ell upon a peace warrant sworn out by
Henry Adams, but it was altogether flimsy
in its character, and in this case he was
acquitted.
A negro woman also came forward and
obtained warrant charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
This case was continued until to-day.
In the meantime, Mr.. Young did not
comply for the want of funds in the first
decision rendered, and Justice Matthews
very reluctantly committed him to Jail.
Judge Guild obtained then, and had him re-
leased from durance vile under writ OF
habeas corpus, and the case will come up
for hearing before Judge Smith to-day.
From what we can learn, Mr.. Young
came into possession of the cane by acct
dent, and there seems to be something
malicious in the prosecution. Parties are
arrested every day for carrying concealed
weapons, and taken before Commissioner
Stone, where a small fine is imposed, but
in this particular case, the officer goes be-
fore Justice of the Peace, sad the State
law is enforced, and he gets his fee as in
former. We take this occasion to relieve
Esquire Matthews from any intention to
deal heavily with Mr.. Young. He acted
according to the letter Of the law, and re-
GREETED to be compelled to commit Mr..
Young TO Jail.

The New York Post of the afternoon OF
the 4th inst. says: ...
"The money market is fairly active at
seven per cent, but at this rate good bor-
rowers have no difficulty in supplying
their wants. By many the activity of the
past few days is attributed TO the disturb
ance of loans incident to the withdrawal
from the market Of gold by the combina-
ton operating for rise in the premium
The rates paid for carrying gold TO day do
not indicate that any considerable amount
has been taken off the market, but we
koow that q number of holders, rather
than pay seven to ten per cent. for carrying,
have in some instances carried their gold
with their own funds, and in other cases
have taken it to their banks and pledged
it. This has had the natural effect Of
diminishing, for the time, the amounts
which both these usual lenders and banks
have been accustomed to lend to stock
brokers. As the amount Of loanable funds
is not lessened by the operation, il is likely
that the whole affair will regulate itself
within few days, if it has not already
done &c.

A draft for $25, 900 was presented to the
Treasurer on Wednesday, for money to
pay the State militia. Yesterday another
for the same amount, aud for the same
purpose, was cashed. So goes $5O, 600 Of
the peoples money, and not a criminal
arrested, nor a Ku-Klu1 captured. This
is a part of the money borrowed by the
Comptroller in New York last week, and
is now drawing interest. The day is near
when it will be easier to spend than to
borrow. When will this wicked folly
have an end?

/ 1t will be seen from this comparison
that flour and wheat are but little more
than one-half the price OF a year ago,
while other kinds of grain are much
lower. In passing, We may remind our
readers Of certain suggestions we made last
fall, condemnatory of the Western habit
of holding back grain before the close OF
navigation, in hope of thereby exacting
higher prices from Eastern and European
consumers. The event has proved, as we
foreshadowed, that the East would live
upon its limited winter supplies and wait
for the spring to determine is own prices:
and that Europe also would be equally
able TO wait, while the West would, in the
meantime, be embarrassed By carrying a
heavy load of produce, and its dealers lose
heavily by decline in prices. 1t remains
to be seen whether prices are not, at the
moment, exceptionally depressed. There
Is not, however, any very obvious reason
for anticipating any important reaction
The class Of causes which have operated
to increase the production of grain in this
country have been equally influential in all
the grain growing countries of the world /;
and 1t is reasonable to assume that there is
now larger area of land and larger
amount of labor devoted to the production
of grain than perhaps at any former period;
30 that, only in the event of adverse
seasons, may We anticipate falling off in
the yield. So far as respects the United
States, the weather has thus far been
favorable and reports indicate the proba-
bility Of ample crops. 1t is true that the
farmer has to pay as high prices for labor,
with wheat at ST. So per bushel, as when
he obtained 81 90 per busheI; and it may
be that wheat-growing is consequently
comparatively Improbable. 1t would,
however, be unsafe to conclude from this
circumstance that the production of grain
will be promptly curtaiied. The farmer
has had succession of profitable crops,
and he can afford to meet an adverse
season. He stands committed to his ex-
tended production, having all the requisite
appliances provided, and cannot readily
contract; while he naturally hopes either
for higher prices for his grain, or lower
prices for the labor he employs.
