An abundance OF money in the banks, their
eagerness to loan their surplus on the street at
rates lower than have been known for years, a
sensitiveness that is prophetic an inferentiai con-
fessiOn that our hduciary institutions are over.
loaded with remittances from the country seeking
employment In vain; that neither Wall street, with
all Of its called speculation, nor legitimate COM
MERGE, with all Of It's wants. can absorb the mill
ions which are lying idle; that this idle money
represents . lack OF use, and bespeaks some
thing OF the ~ lethargy Of trade-these are
the thoughts that are gradually permeating
and educating the public mind. We are living on
the edge OF volcano, and Congress is building the
fire for q fresh eruption. Every dollar added to
our present currency Is fu.. E<racs,on means
disaster. We may escape for q little while, but
lew months will witness on larger scale repeti-
ton OF the misfortunes from which we are now
emerging. The subject is too broad to be treated
In half dozen lines, but 1t will bear the sober,
serious consideration OF the people,
TKK MONEY MARKET
Money closed easy on call at per cent as the
general rate and and per cent rs the excep-
tional rates. Loans were made to-day on i've
and six months first class paper as low as 51s per
cent--a fact which indicates unusual ease in the
market. Foreign exchange closed quiet at 81 s2X
a 81 SO for prime bankers sixty-day sterling.
81 SO 81 s6S for demand and 81 10 81 SO for
mercial bills. The amount Of expenditure from the
reserve yet to be made is about 81, 900 900, but
there is proposition before Congress to limit the
legal tender circulation to 200. This will
make, II true, q lively time in financial circles.
THE GOLD MARKET.
Gold to-day exhibited more than usual strength,
opening at l11X and advancing to I117. The
late Gales however, were made at 111T. The rates
paid for carrying were 5. g, Ok and per cent.

That oleaginous and sable individual
yclept Barber, by name as well as Dy
profession, we believe, has just expert
enced liberation of his delicate sensibili-
ties Notwithstanding the multiplicity
of offices of "honor, trust and profit,
which are filled by his ponderous
corporocity, he could find no place
at the Louisiana Jocky Club races that ex-
actly comported with his dignity and fastid-
ious taste. A seat among the OF polloi, along
side his negro brethren and sisters, was not
exactly the thing for so distinguished per-
sonage as Brig. Gen. A. f. Barber, of the
Corps d'Afrique, and personal staff OF his
de .facto Excellency Kellogg. Hence the
wounded soldier, patriot, statesman, barber
steward, and other offices too numerous to
mention, rushes into court to find balm for
all his woes Five thousand dollars would
satisfy him for the affront, but we believe a
little wholesome application OF boot leather
would have much more beneficial effect.
and prevent in the future recurrence Of his
impudence in attempting to thrust himself
in places where he is not wanted for more
reasons than one.

LABOR WANTED.

AS the overflow has thrown large numbers
of laborers out of employment, every facility
should be given to secure for them labor
elsewhere. There are many planters in the
high lands, both in this State and Texas.
who are in want Of more labor. We have
before us letter from a planter in Harri-
son county, Texas, about twenty miles from
Shreveport, who ca give immediate elm i.
ployment to fifteen or twenty hands. His
merchant writes to us as follows, which we
publish for the benefit of those seeking en-
ployment
To the Editors of the n. O. Bulletin:
Dear Sir-As many laborers are thrown
out of employment by the recent overflow,
some Is or 20 good field hands (who are
willing to earn an honest penny, and not de-
pend upon the charity of the worldly can
find steady and profitable work on the farm
OF our esteemed friend and customer, Col
John NJ Waskom, of Waskom's Station
Harrison county, Texas, situated twenty
miles from Shreveport on the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, whose responsibility is we'll
known in this city. We hand you letter
from him, addressed to our Mr. Jones, for
your perusal. We vouch for Col. w. No
doubt there are many others who would be
glad to employ additional labor from the
o-erfiOwed district at fair rate of compen-
satlon. Most respectfully.
