& Ee. View aS nm Old Subject.

One of the most frequent causes Of COM
plaint among the people is the scarcity of
money. Though the country is furnished
with what some suppose to he redundant
currency, everybody remarks that there Is
but little Of it i'll circulation among the peo-
ple. 1t is either accumulated around the
commercial centres OF it is locked up in banks
awaiting investment The noneyed specula-
tors are like hawks, waiting to swoop down
upon some oppressed debtor and gobble up
his farm, or house, or personal property.
They sit on pinnacle and watch the favor
able opportunity to make their fatal dart.
We have, in former Nos. OF our paper,
sought to show to our readers that this TN
natural state of things sprang from two
causes: r'si
1st. Distrust of our lw-giyers; and
I'd. The abominable twelve per cent. law.
Whether our solution Of the matter was
right or wrong, we. must all admit the fact
that there is little moneyin circulation, and
that it is a difficult thing to get hold Of
enough Of it to pay our debts and taxes. !.
This being the fact, sensible men would
naturally conclude that everything that
tended to add to the stringency Of the money
market. would be avoided, while all mea-
s,lres that were calculated to enlarge the
volume of currency would be eagerly en-
braced by the Legislature.
Yet, by q strange perversity OF temper, or

Public Credit--Immigration

We observe i'm occasional paragraph about
immigration, and sometimes from persons
who arc impiring the public credit by the
tenor Of their arguments. II faith In Virginia
Is to be injured by the course Of legislation
and ~ tic loose morality disseminated COLI
ccrning private obligations, there need be no
5rcat concern about promoting immigration.
There will he little disposition to settle i'll Il
State where there is any uncertainty in the
public mind as to the inyiolability Of COLI
tracts. People would have no inclination to
hazard money In any community disposed to
trihc with the solemn engagements between
men. There need be nothing said about ill.,
migration until we decide the matter Of how

tracts by cutting them down or refusing to
comply with them altogether shall lie i'll

4 CoNrRAsT.-All the representatives OF
Richmond in the Legislature are endcaYoring
to induce that body to take the States money
out of the city banks and apply it to the pay.
ment of the interest due upon the State debt
Not one of them has seltlshly proposed to
keep this money where it is, that Richmond
might get the benefit Of it. And the people
of this city applaud the course of their repre-
sentatives, and tell them to perseverc in well
doing.
At the same time, and when the enemies
of the good name Of the State IRE at loss us
to what they shall do next, flank movement
in their favor Is commenced BY parties who
profess to be friends of the policy of pre-
serving the credit Of the State. 1t is g1avely
proposed to distribute the State funds
amongst the banks Of the State. For what
purpose. Of course to be lent out. How
long? Surely for not less than ninety days.
And once out for ninety days, they will re-
main out for twice, thrice, and four times as
long. Ina word, the proposition is in effect
In aid of tile repudiationists; for if it were
successful no interest could be paid.

TIE BLOODY Ass1zEs IN SOUTH CAROLINA
For every whipping, for every innocuous
raid, and for every person abused, more
than one prisoner has been tried, convicted,
and sentenced. And we have the authority
of the Columbia Union for the statement
that the grand jury have indicted cover
tue hundred persons for conspiracy, out
rage, and murder, in the counties Of York,
Spartanburs, and Union" Most of these
remain untricd. There are, moreover, scores
of prisoners, neither indicted nor tried, who
must anguish in Jail or give heavy bail for
their appearance at the next term OF the
court. 81.
Is it not plain that the actual punishment
far exceeds the real offence? Surely "the
names of the dead" should now be appeas-
ed. For every real or fictitious whipping q
white citizen has been sent to Jail. The sus-
pected conspirators are paying the heavy
price of their own misdeeds or Of those OF
their neighbors. Vengeance hns been swift
and sharp. And yet, If we may trust the
Radical press, what is called "iustice" is not
satisfied, and we shall have yet another bloody
assizes in the SPRING Charleston Eers.

A WARNING FROM OMo.-The Ohio sena-
torial election furnishes so perfect an exam
pie of what might have been done, but what
was not done, and gives also SO valuable a
suggestion on the presidential question, That
it ought to be carefully studied by every
Democrat in the land. The case is simply
this: The DemocRtic minority have per-
mitted John Sherman, friend of the Presi-
dent, to be reelected to the Senate for six
years when, by their own admission, they
had it in their power, by making no Demo
cratic nomination, and giving their votes to
j. D. Cox, q liberal Republican and opponent
of the President, to send him there. They
endeavored at the last moment to beat Sher-
man with Cox by changing their votes from
their own candidate, General Morgan, with
the understanding that four or five Republic
cans who had voted for Sherman would
make the same change, and thus elect
Cox. But it was too late. They had
delayed the proper tactical movement
too long; while they were changing their
votes, rs they had clear parliamentary
right to do, the Sherman Republicans, dis
corning the defeat Of their man as the proba-
BILE result of the process, forced the presiding
officer, Lieutenant-G overnor Mueller, to ar
rest it by rising, in the midst of the proceed
ings, and declaring John Sherman elected.
Immediately afterwards the joint session ad.
journed, leaving John Sherman elected and
the Democrats bewildered ut their discount
ture. Had they made, before the commence
ment of the contest, the tactical withdrawal
which they unsuccessfillly attempted to do
in the height of the battle, 1t would have sue
ceeded; one Of the most effective champions
of the Administration would have been con-
signed to limbo along With Ben. Wade, and
man infinitely better, in Democratic view,
made the colleague Of Judge Thurman in the
Senate.-Alssouri Republican. ~

immigration.

We have been somcwh hat singular, we sup
pose, in our views Of immigration. we
have not considered the social condition OF
this State as fitted to any very rapid inward
flow Of immigrants Nor has the State been
prepared with means and agencies TO turn
upon her territory any such current OF popu'
lation. TO invite it at this time in the I'M
prcpared state of our social economy would
only put speedy check upon it, and the tide
would flow out again, and carry with it SUCH
impressions and representations as would set
back the growth Of the State very seriously.
In our opinion the current must HOW
down in n broad breast from the Potomac,
and in that way take firm position rs 1t adj
yanccs, and hold it. We cannot fix colonies
Of white people in the midst of the black sea
of Africans. The two will not mlnSlc, ana
the small white spots will soon I've rubbed
OFF. The white wave must come in with
sufficient volume TO bear down opposition
and spread over the land.
So coming it would be steady and SOLID,
and the great revolution indispensable to the
substitution of white educated labor for the
kind we have will take place with such eau
ton and order as to be perfect and to secure
the general thrift and contentmcnt.
As for information, there never Was SUCH
an age Of publicity. Every newspaper, every
traveller, spreads the knowledge that governs
the dispositions Of men rs to where they
shall 20 to seek new homes and fortunes
State agents can add but little to the volume
Of Information which the busy press. the let
ter-writcrs, and travellers now disseminate
over the whole world.
The mere appointment Of travelling agents
and essayisiS who shall print pamphlets
(tl,at will be hy few read will help the cause
no great deal. Il Virginia is ready 10 80
upon the ocean with steamers and gather UP
immigrants from many lmd$, she may bring
in great many people; but will they stay
here? II the Legislature thinks that lavish
appropriation Of money TO be disbured in
this way-and such M appropriation at time
when there Is 50 much complaint about pub
lie burthcns--they can try il !; but they may
hereafter lind the trial expensive to sad
degree beyond comlvnsatins results.

The Volume Begins to Move.

The signs along the line of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad are gradually appearing.
We meet now ut the White Sulphur travel
lers from the Ohio riyer--once rare event.
People are preparing all along the line for
the expected time. An enterprisins citizen
Of Augusta Is arranging for milk trail.
which Is to convey milk to Richmond and
to the White Sulphur. The Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad is ready to make the most libe-
raj terms, and the train i, beyond question,
to be success. Then we shall have IN in
crease of fresh butter and IN increase Of Ut
cessaries generally in tho best condition.
This mode of facilitating the supplies for
largo communities Dlesses the producer and
the consumer. The cost to the consumer is
diminished and the compensation to the pro-
ducar Is increased. There is not the loss to
both which is caused by the charges for
freight and commissions, and, more than all,
from the perishipg Of much that is shipped
because Of the imperfect performance Of the
service of transportation.
We are about to have a great revolution
not only in the details Of these lesser matters,
but in the whole range Of commerce, social
and business. We shall behold n grand rail-
road line completed in little more than two
years from the time 1t was undertaken by the
present company, together with all its con-
nections westward, beyond Its nominal ter
minus, to the great Mississippi Valley cities,
and away to San Francisco. Whereas had
ne undertaken to complete it ourselves we
should have been at it many years, and when
we reached the Ohio We should have crest
