MR.. WOODS REMEDY FOR MONEY LocK-UPs.
Fernando Wood addressed the House COM

iock-ups of the money market, and preserve
an elastic currency, by giving the Secretary Of
the Treasury authority to loan S45. 0OO, 600 of
coin and legal tenders whenever asked. The
Committee are not disposed to favor the bill,
two grave objections meeting them at the out
set.eviz. the proposed amount to be loaned
is not adequate to check the evil, and that
the government ought not to go into the
money loaning and specializing business.
Mr. Wood argued that the business of the
country demands more currency than it now
has, that the government should lin to give
it strength and stability, and that it could
wisely and safely exercise check upon the
speculative spirit which controls at the finan.

to keep larger reserve on hand, and pre-

are disheartening the revolutionists. Gen.

Zacatecas by Cortinas. He says the garrison

his attack. He says:-"I come in the name of

is to destroy the elements collected by the des-

their valor, promises protection and guarantees
and claims that the high interest of the entire

Matters at Cincinnati.

The special of the New York Herald from
Cincinnati gives pretty clear idea of the cha
os and dickering already begun. 1t says:
A large number of delegates have arrived
and the difficulty of evolving order out of this
chaos of individual and irrepressible angularity
seems to strike all. Everybody, no matter how
Northumberland or American-has his
own notions As a leading spirit said to-day,
There is too much intellect in this move
ment." 1t is now generally believed that Davis
is not possible candidate, the arrogance and
activity of the Congressional and editorial dem
ocrats having expended themselves, and opened
the eyes OF the Convention to the suspicion that
the Davis movement is a matter of bargain and
sale, with abundant pig iron at the bottom of
it. Davis will get on the first or informal bal
lot the full votes of Maryland, Indiana, and
perhaps Pennsylvania, with part of the votes
of Iowa and some of the Southern States.
The friends of John M. Palmer, who is Da-
Wis most bitter rival, have concluded sale
with Reuben K. Fenton and A. X. Mcclure,
by which after the first ballot, Palmer is to get
solidlytNew York, Pennsylvania and Indiana,
with as much of Illinois as he can carry off
1t seems that Palmer despatched M. b. Brown
instantly after he endorsed the liberal move
ment, to hold this conference withsthe Eastern
political merchants. Greeley is understood to
have transferred to Fenton attorneyship in the
premises, and Palmer, reciprocally, is togo
back on revenue reform and consent TO have
protectionist for Vice President 1t is general
talk here to-day that Palmer and Fenton have
made this negotiation.
The Western free traders have taken the
alarm and will rally alternately to the support
of Trumbull or Brown, both of whom are
unmistakable revenue reformers. Trumbull
will show considerable strength at the outstart
Schurz, Koerner and the leading Germans are
for him. He will have the bulk of the support
of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and the whole of New York.
If there be any faith in the word of Reuben
u. Fenton, Gratz Brown will come in with
Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ar
kansas-perhaps Mississippi and Louisiana
and at the pinch Maryland and some scattering
Southern votes. 1t looks very much as If
Brown might be nominated. He will be pres
ent in person, and, it is urged, he will encoun-
ter less opposition from the Democrats than
any other candidate, Davis not excepted
George =. Pugh says that if Adams be the
candidate he will stump Ohio for Grant. Mr..
Adams has no other strength than Ohio and
New England, and perhaps few votes from
Michigan. The original movers of the Liberal
Convention are already disguised with Fenton
and Mcclure, and look upon them as political
spectators, coming here to peddle for power.
The Convention at Cincinnati will be composed
of original and indignant men, and people like
Fenton, Mcclure and Warmoth will be hand
led without gloves if they attempt to.cut up

glers tried it at Cleveland in 1866 and Sey-
