The document is signed by the most influential portion of the population, many of whom are native Cubans, and among them Varona.

Ce ne Ore WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 1865. The Alabama Claims Negotiations. b ‘The question as to what 1s the probable basis of settlement agreed upon betwoen Minister Reverdy Johnson and the Britian government in regard to the Alabama claims, and the action of England in recog- nizing the rebels as belligerents during the first years of the war, is one of the most important topics of discussion here. From all that can be gathered on this subject in the oficial circles of this city, 1t is doubtless true that the Secretary of State possesses a tolerably clear understanding of the present status of the question. It is certaiuly # fact that Mr. Seward is thoroughly informed of all the tnstruc- tions given to Minister Johnson before departing on his mission, siuce it was none other than the Sec- retary who delivered those inatructions, whatever has been said in recent reports to newspapers | to convey an dpposite impression to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Seward has no misgivings whatever in regard to the manner in which Minister Johnson 18 conducting the questions atissue, and he seems to have faith that whatever the terms of settlement agreed upon may be they are not beyond the limits of Mr. Johnson’s instructions, With this knowledge, even though it has been deemed prudent to conduct the negotiations as little as pos- sible by telegraph, Mr. Seward doubtiess feels satis- fied that all that has been done has been well done. The statement that the Secretary of State has now under consideration the terms agreed upon is prema- ture, The Secretary cannot decide upon those terms until the written despatches from Minister Johnson are received, which will not be for at least a week yet. The impression seems to prevail, however, es- pecially among diplomats, who are usually well very informed on pending questions of a national charac- ter, that a basis of settlement between the United States and the British government has been adopted which affords a fair prospect of removing every cause of dissatisfaction. What tho President Tiinks of the Courtney Case. ‘There are no new developments in the whiskey fraud war to-day. Mr. Courtney left here for New York to-niglit, and with him the rear guard of the formidable force that advanced upon Washington when he arrived, {t is now definitely understood that the President decided not to suspend the Dis- trict Attorney on the evidence adduced, I have it from high authority that the decision of the Presi- dent at the conclusion of the arguments made by Secretary McCulloch and Attorney General Evarts in behalf of Mr, Courtney was, in substance, as fol- lowa:—‘‘Well, gentlemen, the charges that have been preferred against District Atiorney Courtney have not all been substantiated. Mr, Courtney has, I think, satisfactorily explained away some ol the most serious of them; yet enough remains unan- swered to render @ thorough exoncration inad- visable. { do not deem it necessary to issue an order suspendiag Mr. Courtney from his office at the present time, but will withhold my decision in the case until a future occasion.” The friends of Mr. Courtney claim that the mere fact that the President has suspended his decision in (he mat- ter is sufficient proof that the whole prosecution has been dropped, and they say with confidence that Mr. Courtney will experience no further trouble from charges of fraud, On the other hand it is assertea by the opposition that for some unaccountable reason Judge Fullerton did not inciude among the charges he had filed several of the very strongest cases, but that he has at last determined to submit these charges, and bas returned to New York for the pur- pose of preparing them. A Sensational Rumor by a Democratic Organ. The Constitutional Union, & democratic organ here, published by Tom Florence, a member of the Democratic National Resident Committee, contains a short editorial to-night, concluding as follows:— The radical attacks already made upon General Grant are but the avant courriers of quick coming propositions from the high priosis of radicalism to ‘ive Mr. Colfax, and not Genera! Grant, the repub- ican electoral votes for President. [t will not be to us the most astonishing thing in the world if the democratic electoral votes should be required yet to make General Grant President. At all events, let our lamps be trimmed and burning. For four or five days there have been hints of a Programme, said to be favored by active leading radicals, having for its object the cheating of Grant out of the Presidency by casting the republican electoral vote for Schuyler Colfax. Of course there is not a grain of probability that any such thing will happen. The story ia undoubtedly one of those wild inventions for which the Washington atmosphere ts famous, and would not be worthy even of this much notice were it not for the fact that it has found its way into print through the columns of Florence's organ. Radicals of the Phillips stamp would doubtless bail the project with delignt, but all decent republicans about here scout at the idea as absurd and ridi- culous. Visit from a Canndian Official. Mr. Worthington, Commissioner of internal Reve- nue of the Canadian Dominion, las been passing a few days in this city with a special view to inform- ing himself of the workings of our internal revenue system. Mr. Worthington had interviews with the President, Secretary McOulloch, Commissioner Rol- lins and other officiais, by whom he was courteously received. Secretary McCulloch gave special diree- tions to have every facility afforded to the distin- guished visitor. Last evening, by special appoin ment, he called upon Mr. Rolling at the Inte: aul Revenue Ofice and was supphed with all the infor- mation he sought, This gentieman hag had an offi- cial experience of more than twenty years, and if our Officials have peen as desirous to avail themselves of his Knowledge as he seems to obtain more the visit of Mr. Worthington will doubtless prove mutually advantageous, It would be interesting \o know the impressions made upon the enlightened Canadian oficial by his researches tere. Mr. Worthington left the city this evening. The President.

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET. Many circumstances combine to lend more than ordinary interest to the history ef Wall street for the week which has just closed, Its predecessor was marked by a panic of the most alarming proportions, and as serlous in its results as the one which dis- turbed finances last spring. The week opened in gloom and distrust after the sad havoc made tn the values of stocks by a sudden and heavy “drop,” en- gineered by the combination who took advantage of the period to make money stringent by the locking up of greenbacks. Monday was the last day of this stringency. The means by which the loosening of money was accomplished will serve as # good precedent for our financiers whenever in future an unscrupulous com- bination ts made to impede the legitimate course of business. The banks, with commendable prompt- ness, decided to make use of their certificates in the settlement. of daily balances, It was a long standing custom to require the creditor banks to makeup these balances with legal tenders, and these legal teuders they were required to procure at the Sub-Treasury by the disposal of an equal amount of three per cent certificates. When the certificates would ‘serve just as well for the settlement of the balances it was a time honored custom, replete with inconvenience, that could easily be dispensed with, So the banks by a large majority decided to use them, This step did away with the necessity de- volving upon each institution of carrying around daily a pile of greenbacks to make the exchanges at the Clearing House. At the sume time greater cau- tion directed the making of loans and the tide of business turned exchange in favor of the metropolis asagainst the Southern and Western citles. The country banks deposited in the New York banks and the drain of curreacy was not only arrested but diverted this way. The we: wie statement made last night shows the result, There 13 au increase in iegal tenders of over four inililons and @ decrease in loans of over seven mil- hons, which state of things shows the banks to be richer by nearly twelve millions—about the amount, it will be observed, which the lockers-up of green- backs took from circulation, There 13 an operation in surgery known as resection, where the pieces of a fractured lim) are extracted, the ends of the bone sawed off and nature left to perform her function of making the connection by the formation of a new osseous tissue, ‘The great bear’ combination which made all this commotion in Wall street effected a similar resection in the currency; but good financier- ing, backed up by @ healthy Condition of general business, bridged over the gap and prevented the panic from extending to the legitimate circles of trade and commerce, plenty, 1t might be said abundant, and, with the ex- ception of but one brief period of afew hours ov ‘Thursday last, remained so for the rest of the week. Gold is one of the commodities which Wall street delights to speculate with. In the beginning of the week udvautage was taken of certain Washington rumors about a proposed indation of tke currency to send up the price, and great consternation Was created among the ‘shorts’? whea that end was attuned, The price did go up, but came down again through the non-contirmation of these reports and remained quite steady until Friday night and yester- day, When the cable despatches, announcing the dis- © ry of a conspiracy against Napoleon and a de- ficiency of specie in the London and Paris banks, were tnade the occasion of another rise. So up went the price agatn, and gold closed yesterday very firm. This advance has one result which goes to make it popular, if not excusable, for the time being, During a decline in gold our foreign exports are clogged at our ports through an unwillingness on the Part of holders to stip when the premiums low. ‘The difference to them in the value of their cargoes ia of great importance; hence, with each rise in gold, our Vast stores Of produce, grain, hops and the hike, are suddenly shipped off and European money trans- ferred to this country. ‘nt bonds were fluctuating in the earlier Portion of the week, but steadily unproved at te cl in the general stock market were ‘treme caution, which produced the first three or tour days. ‘The panic of the week before ruined many a specu- lator and drove hin from the street. The margins apital of others who had more plethoric pocketbooks were seriously impaired, Caution Was therefore the rule, ‘The great “bear’? com- bination began to grow desperate and resorted to further threats of locking up greenbucks while secretly they were drawing out the currency. ‘the appeara f w locking up Was made by an in- genious manipolation of checks and deposits, and a blue day was the result on Friday. This was the ntful day of all, It marks the period of the greatest depression of the crisis.

THE AUTROSSHIP OF “THE SLAUNTING LIE.” To the Epirox or Ta” HERALD: Ailow me to call your attention and thas of yoor Teaders to the clain} set up by William. Oland Bourne tothe authorship of a poem written by Chartes G. Halpine and generally designated by the above'title. This claim would have been dismissed with con- tempt—made as it is, after the death of the person to whom the lines in question had long been at- tributed—were it not for the remarkable endorse- ment of the claim by Charles A, Dana, who was at the time of their publication one of the editors of the Pridune, ‘This genticman first states that his recol- lection was that the manuscript was brought to the Tribune office by General Halpine per- sonally; but, fn a subsequent editorial in the Sun, he says that he has been convineed by referring to the Zribune that the “weight of evidence is altogether in favor of Mr, Bourne,’ the only scrap of additional evidence being that this piece ts dated “Brooklyn, L. Jun 1854," where- as the other artictes writt y General Halpine a& the time were not. Let me ask what becomes of this wonderful testimony which is supposed to be 80 conclusive when it is known that General Halpine resided in Brooklyn at that time? Not to take up much of your space I will condense the facts and the evidence in the case as much as possible and leave the comments to your readers. ‘The authorship of this poem was openly and f quenuy brought up against General Hal by his copperhead opponents and changes rung upon the charge in all the copperhead newspapers. A controversy up in the public prints as to pen or thas of one George Boweryei; and no reading man—above all, no man who was the actual author— can now plausibly pretend that he was ignorant of such notorious It matters. Halpine was democrat, and as such the paternity of so very radic: a production might damage him politically, and sometimes evaded the accusation by treating it as & joke, but never seriously denying it; the furthest be went was to intiinate that it was wrilten by a big Indian of Tammany in good standing, and that he Was op the war path after that Indiaa and meant to have his scalp. But in the year 1866, after the war had settled the question of slavery, he published @ book called “Baked Meats,” in which he distinctly admits the authorship and gives all the- circum- stances connected with the publication, In several issues of the Citizen he did the same thing, once in verse publishing a series of couplets referring to the “Fiaunting ;Lie", and each endiug with the confession that it was ‘written by Miles O'Reilly.” In private it was a pet joke with hin to lay the discredit of the disloyal song on Mr, Greeley whenever the latter was present; anc in their close intimacy, almost 'ke father aud sou, this peasantry was a standing amusement, Mr. Greeley beaming through his spectacles while being twitted about it more amiably even than usual, Ihave heard thts often and remember Mr. Greeley’s ~— men- tloning to me that Halpine had written it, aud Halpi'e himself told me all the parte- culars Cot ing 1%. Now that ne is dead and that George Boweryem 18 dead, the only two persons whose names Were connected with it an@ who could probably give a full explanation, a third claimant arives. This claimant is a republican and has long been the publisher ertain radical papers, to whom “it of writing such a poem would bi invatuable; and yet for fifteen years he conceals the claim and only puls it lorward when tie weored od author is dead, For Halpine’s course we can see & reason; for Bourne 8 none, That gentleman may nos be intentionally deceiving, for people make queer blunders and labor under odd hallucinations some- times, but he ts certainly mistaken, But now for further proof. Mr. Wm. C. Barrott, of 20 Nassau street, suw the manuscript in Lalpine’s hands, heard him read it several days before it wes published and remembers his manner and actions at the time—his waving it over his head and the cu- rious, boyish delight he always evinced when he had done anything he thought Hae ahery rd striking. He further remembers that Halpine told him that it was posted on the HeRALD bulletin, I belleve—at least the bulletin of some paper that was a it to arouse prejudice against the Tribune—and how he had stood on the other side of the way effect on the public, roper to bring them forward, could confirm. firs intendet taking it to the Independent, to which he was then contributing, but on the advice of friend carried it to the Tribune; so that we have Greeley’s recollection, Dana's impres-ion, Barrett's positive assertion, open acknowledgment. and public accusation on one side, and what op the other? That one poem was dated and others were not, Whoever knew Charley Halpine and knew him to present four poems in the same way? Why, he had at least six noms de p and L believe more. He was the letter “H,"" * les Broadbent,’’ the “Bird in the Bush,” “Miles O’Reilly” and “Charles G. Halpine,” and if he put a signature to one poem it was y sure that he would not to the next. If he had been living in Brooklyn and wrote three pieces without some bay Page he would surely put an address on the fourth if he could not put a game toit. And that is the siruple explanation of a date to which Mr, Dana gives so much weight, [ can elaborate and fortify this statement to any extent, but know that f cannot have your space for more than is absointely necessary to vind tion of a dead friend.
