The scaIping class who hang around tht

The scaIping class who hang around the
Board of Trade got badly hurt yesterday.
These men ope,ate entirely on options, not
possessing money enough to. be able to pay
for round lot Of grain. Hence they gen.
orally !" sell ahort"--that is, contract TO de-
LIVER a i, 900 bushe1 lot Of grain at: q cer-
tain price at such time during the month as
may seem most profitable They calculate
on being able to buy it in at a profit, during
q temporary depression, and turn it over,
Tocketing the difference, without be-
ing compelled to use the money
required to pay for the grain During the
many months in which the price of wheat
has declined almost steadily, these men
made money, and Jared snmptuously- But,
since the price of wheat has been on the
upward turn, they have changed their tao
tics, and bought early in the day, selling
out an hour or two later at an advance.
Yesterday they rushed in wildly and bid as
usual; the owners of wheat held their
property of the market till the competition
had run up the puce about 2 cents per
bushel, aud then sold freely, and continued
to do SO as long as the demand lasted- The
consequence was that the impecunious ones
got panic stricken at the unusual amount
of wheat Oh the market, and tried to sell
ont The capitalists Let it severely alone
till the price had declined about 81 cents,
and then bought back much of the wheat
they had sold earlier in the day. The re-
suit was that the sca1ping interest were
"bitten" collectively, to the extent of nbout
cents per bushe1 on quarter Of a million
bushels Of wheat.

Mr. Fernando Wood, having made some
statements in Congress as to the use OF
Freedmen's Bureau moneys in private tran
sections, was called upon to put his allega-
tions in form for investigation, which be
did The fact TINT the funds of the bureau
were loaned or used by private persons for
personal ends, and that the funds sustained
a loss by contracts in bricks, made under
patent owned by soma Of its officers, has
been proven, and perhaps some other, IL
1egulatities.' But how far General Howard
is Responsible for these things, and how far
he Is involved IN them, if at all, has not
yet been satisfactorily disclosed. In the
meantime, his friends, and the seH-conEti-
tuted champions of the Fteedmeu:s Bu-
reau have resorted to an abuseof the parties
prosecuting, and to an impeachment, Of
their motives. This lind Of defence viii
not do. The public will not tolerate that
means Of avoiding responsibility. If Cen
eral Howard, or any of his subordinates,
haro done my act inconsistent with the
trust imposed upon them, the public viii
require some better explanation than abuse
of the witnesses. It may be General How
ards 1nisfortune that. he placed too much
confidence in his suborainates, but his
friends cannot avoid responsibility by call
ing anybody d;sloJal, or attributing per-
sonal enmity to witnesses.
