Commissioner Klokke read an elaborate opinion, conceding that the warrant issued by Sergesnt Hood for Rafforty's arrest was itlogal, but hold- Ing that, as he acted from commendablo motives to preserve thoe cnds of justice, tha charges ought to be dismissed, Commisslonor Sheridan put his vote for conviction on the ground that it was tho constitutional right of every citizen to bo arreated only on warrant, supported by afiida- vit, and issued for probable cause.

Ioople have not money enough to buy our property, say ihe ownors, so the Govern- ment should {esus more money. Biating such au objoction scoms like setting up & man of straw for the soke of knocking him down aftorwards. Yol iv is gravoly made, and is mado in voried forms, Nearly overy plea for inflation can bo resolved into something like it. A man finds that ho cannot eapily soll his houso, his lot, his railrond bonds, his merchandise, his promissory note,—and ho straightway cries for more money. To-day, all tho mon who sroin difiicultios—who want money, and cannot easily change what thoy have into monoy—are clamor- ous for inflation, Aro thoy justified ? Their clamor finds ita only reason in the ides that thore should always be currency enough in a country to prevont o glut of tho market iu any commodity whatsoever, Thisisan impossibility. 1t tho prico demanded for tho inveatments of- forod excoods the amount of capital seoking in- vesimont, some of tho offers must go begging. If the curroucy is inflaled,—that s, is mede * cheaper,” or, in other words, is made of less valug,—the pricos demanded will of course risa. ‘Thoy will rigo at lenst as much as the valuo of tho curroncy depreciatos. A man who bolds bls hiouso at $5,000 when groenbacks aro at 90, will not sell for loss than 25,025 whon greonbacks fall to 80. Enoh of the two auma ropresonts just 84,500 in gold. In. tho lattor cmso, ho will probably domand more than 86,625, for the money he recoives {u lisble to deprociate still farther, and ho must be paid for the risk he rupe in taking it. How, thon, can a man who wishes to eoll property for avy othor purpose than to pay o dobt bo benofited by inflution? Iis prico must bo inflatod at least ne fast au the ourrenoy {g, 8o that it will bo o dificult to close o bargain when gold is at 200 ag whon it is but 110, Wo have made ono oxception. Whon a man noods curvency to pay & dobt, inflation allows him to legally rob hie creditor, IIo ean pay him the dishonored and dopreclated promis- sory notos of tho country at thelr face value. Tho more the curronoy is inflated, the greater will bo the dopreciatfon of the nominal dollar, tho casfer will be tho gotiing of it until the ro- sulting orasli comes, and the groater will be tho robbery of croditors whick our law allows, It scewms plain enough that tho roason of w | man's tailuze to gl Lis proparty s slthes boe cauge nobody oleo with oapital cnough to buy it hns any noed of It, or because ko puts too high o valuo upon {t.

" Tho Inflationist hag e yot found no anewer to that sharp quostion, Itls coriain that there is corn enough in this countty, The complaint has generally been that thero is too much, Thero ia also an abundance of pork, Iumbor, buttor, coal, wool, and othor marketablo commodities. No complnint is heard of necarelty of these things. Now let any man who thinks tho roason ho con't sell his proporty ia because Lhoro fs & searcity of curroncy, offer to take corn, or pork, or butter, or lumber, or coal, or wool for it. o will have nn"dlmulglty of turning theso into curroncy.

FARMERS AND MIDDLEMEN, One of the lending objocts proposed by tho Grango organizations is the econowy of dealing direetly with manufacturors of agricultural im- plemonta without tho intorvention of ‘middlo- mes, Nothing is 8o attractive ns tho genoral proposition that goods sold by the manufacturer at 81, through the profits of intormediary deal- ors cost the consumers $3; theroforo the con- sumoer by dealing direetly with the manufacturer can save one-hulf the cost of all ho buys, Whon oach man estimates tho amount thus saved on lus own oxpenditures, and multiplics that by the number of persons who may malke the samo say- ing, tho sum pnid by consumors to support “ middlemon " gooms to bo enormous. The Granges proposo that their members shall hero- aftor mako their purchases of agricultural implo- ments, and to some oxtent of othor things, through an agont selocted by the Grango, who shall deal directly with the manufacturer at wholesalo prices. In the practical exocution of this plan, the co- operation of the manufacturers is requisite, and we bave two notable instancea of the opposing policies of the Ilattor. MeCormick's reaper establishmont hag accopted the overtures of the Grauges, and will sell imploments diractiy to tho Grango agent at factory prices for cash, Tho plow factorios at Rock Islavd and Moline and elaowhero have rofused to goll except through their own agonts, Thoy claim that they can delivor their goods through their own agents to farmors cheapor than tho farmors can otherwiso obtain like goods, Tho result In that tho soveral Granges throughout the West havo publicly an- nounced their determinationto purchose noth- ing produced at these establishmonts at any prico. The question of disponeing with middlomen involves many considorations which bave not boen reached in the discussion thue far. The introduction of machinery wasfor a loagtimo re~ sisted on tho ground that it pvould throw human labor out of employment. That fallacy hos beon oxploded. The effect of tho invention of agri- cultural implemonts was to increnso tho number of porsons engaged in agricultural labor by making it possible for each man, with the aid of machinery, to produce far more than ho could without it. Farming at this day without imple- monts is an up-Lill task, -Human lsbor is moro expensive than maobinery, and to obtajn ma- chinery requires capital, snd the machinery it- self requires repairs and renowal. No farmer now is satisfied with producing merely what he needs for his own use; owing to the uge of msa- chinery, the effort is to produce the largest crop of some special kind. Suchis the tendency of ngricultural production at this time. ‘the crops liave boen ndapted to the machinery invonted to cultivate them. 2 Au o goneral thing, tho machinery has been purchased on crodit, either for the wholo or the greater part of the cost. The credit system has probably been as much of an injury as it has boon o benefit. Ithas led thousands intothe purchage of implemonts boyond thelr actual wants, and to the cultivation of more land thon they could woll handle. But thoro wero othera who wore crampod and rostrictod in thoiv labor for the want of machiunery, and to whom the credit was a spocial and profitable boon. 8o long 28 crops aro abundant and prices favorable, the man farming with mortgaged land and “mort- gogod stock and implements may hope to extri- cate himsel! and get out of dobt, but an adverso senson will cortainly plunge him back again futo difficulty. To tho farnor who is out of debt, and is 8o fur forchanded that ho can purchose for cosh whatever ho may need in implements or other adjunots to his farm, tho middleman is & tux, and dealing dircotly with the manufaciurer nn advantage. But how many farmers are in this condition ? How many of them aro out of debt, and have all the live-stock they noed, and the cash to ppy for & scason's la- bor and purchage now implemonts ? Bales at tho factory aro for cash or its equivalent in approvéd puper, which o bank will discount. Those who purchaso trom the factory pay cash, andare of courao tho bost customors, Hor aro thosd who hiave 1o cash to obtain the needed imploments ? It the factorica aro asked to soll 4 car-load or any large number of imploments at factory pricos to tho agent of a Grange, an order must be made somo time in advance, with cash puyment ou the dclivery of the goods. 1t involves also the agree- mont smong all the mombers of that Grange to use the eame moke of plows, oultivators, mow-~ ors, plantors, ote,, somothing which is at prosent unknown, but may nevertheless ho brought about. Tho agont of the Grange, on rocoipt of theso goods, must poy for them., Ho can ouly do this if payment bas already beon mndo to him by each member of tho price of the implomont ordesed. Iu the Grange to do & cred- it or a cosh business ? If n cash busincss, bow 18 tho man who bas no cash to get his plaw‘.hls reaper, his corn-planter, or othor implomont ? It the Grango s to do o oredit businoss, then it must liave a oash capital, must toko tho risk of bad debis and losnes, must furnleh its agont with o llving, must recelvo an equivalont of interost on its capital, and must sdd the total coat-of al} this to tho price of the fmplemonts dolivored to the membora, Whosvor does the busidbss, the exponye, risk, and losses of tho credit systow rlak, aud Joss {8 precigoly whint has brought tho middloman Into oxistence. k3 It fa unquestionably truo that tho ensh systom 18 tho wisost aund smost cconom- feul, and whon tho time comes that farm- ors can purchaso all thay noed with eash, thoy will find that thoy will savo lu tho vost of all thoy purchaeo, and capeclally in thotr omisalon to purohanc what thoy can do without. Bub that timo is not now, and farmors aro not a8 o clags ablo to purchago®machinery with cash, Thoy have olthor to purchasa on credit or raiss tho monoy on mortgago, poying intorest in cither cato, to horolmburyod out of tho procooda of the growing crop. To them, oredit fs Indispensable, If tho Grango will not ack as middloman and soll on eradit taking thoe middloman's risk and proflt, then the middloman will still hold his ground, Horo arlscs anow diloulty. Tho donler in fm- ploments b o hundrod customors, Of thesg, forty linvo sont thotr cash direct to the. factory; tho other sixty want orodit.

Thoso farmers who aro ablo tqpurchiaso for cash roap the full bonoflt, whilo the burdon of thoro who must buy on credit {8 incroased by s compulsory rosort to tho mid- dloman whother ho be the msnufacturer's agont or the agent of tho Grange. Tho difforence bo- tween fuotory prices and tho prices of manufac- turora’ agents may poem, and i in fact, largo, but this differenco is due to the defoctive credit system. The man with the cash in his pocket as the choico of alt the imploments mado, and for cash e can gonorally deal with the sgent upon nearly a8 good torms as he can with tho factory, To sum up—the matter seoms to stand in this way. It the farmers can pay cash for their fm- plements, and still have cuough money loft to. pay for labor, seed, aud live-stock, to carry thom through their sprivg snd summer work, thoy hsd bettor do so. If thoy aro in this shope financially, they will scon bring the plow-makors to the samo terms that MoCormick offers with his roapors. But if, in fact, they aro not forchanded, 8o as to be ablo to pay the purchasing ageut of tho Grange prompt- 1y, or i they find by experionco that the use of their money will bring them a larger roturn than the rato of intorest charged, plus tho mid- dloman's protlt, then thoy will roturn to tho old system, or the two eystoma will go on sido by side. To abolish the middiomon requires either cash capital in the hands of farmers, or such an improved credit system that the makers of machinery can caleulate to & certatuty on gotting thoir pay at the sgreed timo. When either of these conditions is brought about, this class of middlemen will bo seen no more in the land, CDNTij SEATS IN CONGRESS.

The Houso promptly seated the Louisinna Republican claimants, except Pinchback, who, unwiscly for nimsoll, chose to go into the Scnate; and, end- ing with the Wilshiro (Ark.) case, tho Houso | seated the Republican claimant every time, whoreby the Admimistration gained, in all, cight now votes. Sotho House stood, in Februsry, 109 Administration, 02 Opposition, and ono sent (Pinchback’s that would havo boon) vacsnt. Now come the gains that count double, and scor- g tho changes for tho threo seats nbovo named, wo have totals as follows: 203 Administration, 80 Opposition, 1 vacaut.

Robert B, Elliott, one of the colored Congrossmen from Bouth Carolina, deserves woll of his country. Hiu scathing rotort to Aloxander H. Stophens brougbt him into s prominence which ho is using to forward tho best interests of his raco and his country., His speech at tho rocoption recenily given him at Columbin is & cloar and eloquent statoment of tho avils undor which his unhappy Btato suffors, and of the remodies thorefor, He began by say- iug that ho spoke a8 o strict and consistont Re- publican. Ho declarod that tho nogroes had disproved ‘the prophesies that thoy wounld work only under tie Iash, and would show no semso of prudence, and no carofulness for the morrow, but that they had not yot shown that thoy were fully fit for political rights. The raceis now on tiial. “Iwish I had 10,000 voices,” eald Mr. Elliott, ‘to proclaim tho fact that tho colored peoplo of South Caroling aro now on trial before the whole country.” They bavo almost forgotten fbnt rights lovolve duties. **The former slavehold- or who, porchance, still donies your right to freodom and sullonly opposes every civil right which you demand, is not half so dangerous an onemy a8 ho of your own party who teaches you to regard the funotions of a public officer a8 tho menns of meroly securing your own per- sonal aggrandizemont,” Mz, Elliott painted the provalent corruption with a few vigorous strokes, and added : * To-day our frionds blush for us,” Ho declared that Lis hoarera wero their own worst .onomies. If thoy would gain full civil rights, thoy must show thomselves worthy of them. The veople, a8 & whole, aro bonest and want honest rule. So Mr, Elott thinke, This may bo true. Tho whole forco of tho Geporal Govornment has been used to keep tho scoundrels of tho State in power. The ro- sponsibllity for their eloction nund re-sloction really rests in Washington. We doubt whethor there can be decided ohango in South<Carolina until there ia chango at hendquarters, When Butlerceases to run tho Administration, the lattor will cengo to run mon of tho Butler stripe into.| power in the Pelmotto Stute. DIr. Ellioté showed-that misrule falls heaviest on_ tho poor man in the long run, and pointed out the (wholly imaginary) danger of the rojection by tho National Republicans of tho South Carolina wing, unless the lattor reformed. Wo Lope his learers laid to henrt his closing sontonco: “1Vith ono heart, one aim, one detormination, 1ot us move forward to tho re-establishmont of an lionest, economical, and rospectable Govern- mont in South Carolina,” The Stato must have this, if it is to oxist, Let it bo nominally Re- publican or nominally anything else,—thut is n maltor of choico, Tho other is & matter of nocossity. A BHARP CORRESPONDENCE. Gon, Shorman, in tostifying before tho House Military Committeo on the reloase of the Indian Oiofy Batuuta and Big L'roe, said that, if thoy shonld now scalp Gov. Davie, he (Sherman) would shod fow tears, Tho belligorent ox-Gov- ornor turned agonce from fighting ‘Poxas to fighting Shorman. Ho wrote tho latter an ablo lottor, 1t sots forth that ho commuted tho son- tonce of tho two Chiefs from hangivg to life- imprisonmont not eo much bocause Grant, At- torney-Gonoral Alkermen, and othérs asked him to do so, a8 becauso tho frial was an uufair one; and becauso, 48 the tribo kuow this, tho oxeou- tion would bave no moral effect upon thom. Tho two wurderers wore nftorwards relensed, Gov. Davis shows that Graut ordered the relonso witbont first consulting him, and that ho at firat rofused to allow it, Indian Commesioner Smith appenlod to him not to discredit the Presmdent by makiug him broak his written promiso to tho tribo, and eaid that such & vourse would preel pi~ tato & gencral Indian war. To escapo euch a oslamity, Davis finally yieldod, on condition that tho Governmont should at ouce incroaso tho troops and posts {n Toxas, should stop the'raid- inig, should compol the surrendor of the captives and plundor hold by the Indinus, should force thom op tho resorvations, and should roarrost Batanta and Big ‘Croo, if their tribe, tho Kiowss, migbehaved, All this was promisod.

As Doth theso gontlemon aro desirous of making o nofse in the - world, let them have a chance. There should, howevor, be cortain conditions at- tached to this bombardment of Heaven. Tho two wandering cannonoers ghould not bo allowed to firo ovor six weeks coutinuonsly. It thoy fail at tho ond of that time to briug down a storm, then they should be instructed to limbor up snd como bome. Becond, before commencing thelr opera~ tious at auy placo whero peoplo are residing, tho peoplo should have the privilego of saying whoth- er thoy want rain, In slmost overy community thero are some peoplo who do want winand somo who don't. A special olection should therefore boheld to settle this point. Third, if Moasrs, Powera and Farwoll succoed in Litting tho clouds sufficiently bard to shnke tne water out of them, then they must give guaran- tees that thoy will stop tho shower whon tho people lave got wator onough. Inundstions, floods, temposts, aud deluges, simply to gratify Powaors' notions about rain-falls, are not to be encouraged. If, therofore, Powers apd Farwell can satisfy these conditions, lot thom go shead. If thoy do not succced in opening the clouds, they will succeod in shutting up Powers. The Inttor operation would,bo blossing, if it took a dozen batteries of artillory to accomplish it. Gen. Bnez, ox-President of the Ropublio of 8an Domingo, was srrosted on o civil procoss at the inutauce of Mr. Davis Hatch, who olaimed from him 65,000 damages for false imprison- ment. Mr. Hatch is an enterprising Yankeo, who discovered that certain salt-mives in the contral part of the Island of San Domingo could be worked with profit. Mo obtained o conces- afon from the Dominican Governmont to work them, and to loy & railroad from’ the shoro TReturning to Now York, he obtainea all the capital ke wanted, and went back again to his mines. Cabral had thon obtained control of -the island, aud confirmed Mr. Hateh’s concession. When Baoz beenmo President, the woalth of the mines hiad becomo apparent, and tho great aunexation= it cont an envious eye upon them, While ho was working might and main to asccomplish President Grant's pet scheme, Mr. Hatch op- posed it. To was therofore arrested on the chargo of aiding Cabral, tried by a court-martial of the drum-hepd variety, and spntenced to be sbot more Dominico. Thero was, apparently, ouly ono object to be gainod by killing im, and that wes tho - possession of the mines. Hence, whon Gen. Babeock, who happened to be in Ssu Domingo at tho time, asked for his releaso, his request was grantod. Hatch wos kept as a prisonor on tho islaud, howover, to provent his damaging the Grant-Baez anuvexation schome, and hold thero until the defeat of tho project, when ho waa 8ot at liberty. Thoro is no doubt that Mr. Hntch opposed the sunexation of San Domingo heartily, nor that his correspondence with cor~ tain Amorican journals waa exceedingly irritat- ing to tho Presidents ; but that ho should bo deliberatoly robbed of his estates and sentonced to death upon a. trumped-up oharge of treason to the Domiunican Govern- mont, and finglly detained a -prisoner on tho ieland for wero political purposes, is suggestivo of mediwval tyranny, Mr, Baez is throntened withsoveral moro suits of a similar charactor, but Judge Pratt's order for his veloase from arrest under Mr, Iateh's sult will probably enablo the ox-Presidont to enjoy his seclusion at the Bravoort House, & e N AN The Louisisna Logislature has given many ovideucos of boiug an oxceedingly diguified body.
