Thcre Was rather better demand for money to-day,
and on stock cOateras the rates on call were 80 anu
per cent pretty generally though the Government bond
dealers were accommodated at p and3 Prme puslness
naper is negotiated at 81 to per cent.
The continued abundance Of money ls marvel 10
eome and disappointment alike to borrowers ana
lenders Wise heads land especially bear heads) pre-
dicted that whenever either business or speculation
should be revived, much higher rates would prevail
But both legitimate trade and speculation are revived
the plethora of idle funds seeking investment still con-
tnues and investors still hopefully waiting for some-
thing in their favor and still trying to discern
the cause of the extremely limited demand Tor capital
Should they not look fer 1t in the changed methods OF
transacng business brought about by the extended use
OF steam and the ma ghetto teegaph Almost daily we
see it announced that transfers of money are made by
the latter means, and late as yesterday single sum
Of $2COO was transferred from San Francisco to New
York in time than it takes to tell Of In the ola
ode of reittng this would have remained on the
route three months subscribing during all tht
time none of the uses of trade, being completely alb
stracted for the time being as II 1t had been
at the bottom of tic ocean Now it may pass
from hand TO hand twenty times in the period
It would then have remained idle, and thus dol
lar NTH the aid of the telegraph is made to do the duty
that formerly required twenty dollars to perform Sim
liar Transactions constantly being made between us
and the rcmOtct parts Of the world and the effect is
clearly TO lessen the demand for money by moving it
from place 10 place with greater rapidity In the
movement of merchandise the same principle is
everywhere at work, as an example of which in
country may instance the late arrival at San
Francisco per steamer from China OF cargo
Of 100000 pounds of teas, valued at some
esO0OOO and to be forwarded across the CONT
nent and distributed on the rdy by railroad. In remit
ting the large required in the purchase of this
che agencies of steam and graph Of course
availed Of and the merchant may he reimbursed from
sale of the goods within two three months of the
time the operation began, instead Of waiting year
in the old time Of sail vessels If then the
work of the circulating medium is thus performed by
onetwcneth the formerly required, and the supply
Of money is daily increased by new discoveries of the
precious metals should be any wonder that large sums
arc lying idle at all the commercial cepers and that
tower rates of prevail and must continue every

Found Hanging.

The Beaver Radical says" An un'
known man was found hanging to the
limb of a tree in Mudlick Run, about
one-half mile north of Vanport, on
Wednesday afternoon. The body ap-
peared to have been hanging there for a
day or two. The eye had evidently
been injured previous to death. No
other marks OF injury were found about
him. The mode of hanging was such
that death would occur slowly. One
foot rested on branch upon the ground.
The body hung close to thetrunk OF the
tree, and had there been any desire tor
life, alter the act, he could have saved
himself. He was seen in company with
another man entering Rochester bridge
on Monday. They were intoxicated and
appeared to be quarreling. The follow
ing is description Of his appearance
and dress Hight five feet six inches;
hair, light brown; jean coat and pants,
black vest, heavy well-made shoes,
brown twiIled shirt, black felt hat,
teeth good, skin fair, about thirty-five
or forty years Of age. The verdict OF
the Jury was that he came to his death
by strangulation by hanging, whether
at his own hands or at the hands Of an
other, or others, unknown to the jury,
we are, with the facts before US, unable
to determine"

sample OF the robbery-for really no
milder term can be applied to ito
which the inhabitants Of South Caro-
lima have been subjected, and which is
part of the abuse which has led 10 the
calling OF the taxpayers convention
next month. The Assembly chamber
was to be fitted up, and it was done in
the following manner: A clock at the
entrance worth 500 is charged at S4S5;
another inside, worth SIS, is charged at
$475; for each OF the twenty committee
rooms. a mirror cheaply mounted was
purchased, charged at $3j5, not worth
half the money; Gov. Scott has refused
to allow them to be unpacked. An en-
ceedingly plain chandelier OF 100 burn
ers, which would be dear at $1,000, is
charged at $4,000. The speaker sits in
front Of a curtain charged at 1880,
draped from a cornice charged at $500.
Ten dozen spittoons are !nvolced at
800 per dozen; they were 30 thick on
the floor that forty were broken during
the session. Each committee room had
an elegant china enamelled toilet set,
at S65 each. But the total is most as
tounding-S92,5 500, of which it is safe
to say that less than S925O would have
furnished the Assembly room Of a pros
trated State acceptably.
