The FACr that there has been n stringency in
our money market for some time past should not
be a matter for surprise, for II is simply an effect
resulting from very evident causes. In the first
place, we have gone largely into new agricultur-
al enterprises during the past two years, and
this, with the increased cost Of labor, has alb
sOrbed much of the floating capital of the coun-
try. And secondly, during the period named we
have imported-besides labor, machinery, ma
terIals and animals for new sugar plantations
very largely in the way of vessels, coin, dry
goods and other merchandise, 60 that the country
is to-day quite oyerstocked in most lines of mer-
chandise-and there are more cargoes on the
way. Large quantities Of lumber and other
building materials have been brought into the
country, and the people oil over the Islands have
been busily putting up new structures. Now all
these lavish investments must be paid for, and
our only resource for doing go is in our crops of
sugar and rice. And if our expectation of these
domestic products during the year have not more
than suffced to meet our indebtedness for the
same period, we, as a matter Of course, can have
nothing abroad to draw against, and 60 exchange
is scarce and we say that money is tight. In this
connection it is proper to say, that although q
considerable amount of coin has been accumulat-
ing and is still locked up in the Treasury, vet
there has always been enough in general circuIa-
ton for ordinary business purposes; and that
the impression conveyed in a recent issue of the
RarGiiGu GG=ene, March 10y to the effect that
money was " very scarce the rate of interest
very high and not obtainable for business pur-
at any price is not only incorrect, but
is calculated to have an injurious effect on our
credit abroad. Government pays but nine per
cent. per annum on its bonds, which are a favor
ite investment with prudent people with mode I
means, and ten per cent. is the outside rate

denied that 1t had been proved that the defend
ants had circulated the statement with the In.
tent to defraud. The Officers Of the company
believed that the capital was paid up, and Wit.
nesses had testified that the Institution could
pay, In time all its liabilities out OF its assets
The charge Of Judge GarrettSOn was BRIEF He
said the Jury must be convinced that the state
had proved that the statements regarding
pa1d-up capital were false; that the defendants
knew them to be false, and that they published
them to obtain money from depositors with q
view OF fraudulently converting it to their own
use before the defendants could be convicted
The jury then retired, and after deliberating
nearly three hours returned a verdict acuuit-

srRkTIEs ON CONTRACTORS BONDS.
In response to a Eote from the District Com.
missioners G as 70 the authority TO require con-
on bis bond for the faithful performance OF his
contract, Attorney Riddle states that the law
Is silent as TO the residence OF bondsmen for the
PEI formance OF contracts. The bonds are to
run to the United States, and to be approved by
the commissioners, and IL is fully within the
jurisdiction OF the Commissioners to prescribe
residence as one OF the qualifications OF some of
the bondsmen, and there are many considera-
tioDs which seem to render this Desirable
reasons which do not appear In the business OF
running to the United States, are strictly local
and II prosecuted IL must be done by the Dis
trict. The name OF the United States would be
the general government with the TRANSACTION.
lt is no part OF the duties OF the DepaI tmeut or
Justice to prosecute these bonds, and a mere
right OF action Ia favor OF the District against
man In any state is not very valuable prop
erly.

rose and continued the argument for the de.

Hearn, as testified to by her father and Mrs.
Truitt. He argued that it had been shown that
MI. Irultt was mistaken as to the time of the
alleged declarations, and the testimony Of Mr,
Hearn was not worthy Of belief, because it had
been discredited by his own contradictory
statements and by the positive testimony of
