over what they hear and see; for the lectures combine instruction with amusement in the most impressive form. It was evident from the rounds of applause of the boys when Mr. Du Chaillu lectured before the schools in Brooklyn that he had the happy faculty of adapting his language and illustrations to the capacity of his youthful audiences, and there is no doubt he will prove the most popular of lecturers in this new réle. It is, as was said, ® new element of education, combining in a rare manner instruction with amusement, and there is no doubt that our school managers and teachers will appreciate this, and that lec- turers on other subjects will find it very useful and profitable to follow the example of Mr. Du Chaillu. Cabinet Rumors About Cuba. During the last few days a variety of rumors have been set afloat in reference to Cabinet counsels, Cabinet opinions and Cabinet diffi- culties on the Cuba question. With Attorney General Hoar as ‘“‘the law officer of the crown” we have no apprehension of any Cuban movement on the part of the adminis- tration that will alarm the country or give any great lift to the bears of Wall street; for Mr. Hoar is said to be a model of caution, cireum- spection, legal precedents, authorities and red tape. For example, he has, it is reported, given it as his opinion that it would not be strictly according to the principles of inter- national law if General Grant were to seize and occupy the island of Cuba with a military force and establish over it a protectorate a la Louis Napoleon in Mexico; and if this be so there is no necessity for any alarm as to the chances of getting into a war about Cua. Our opinion, on the contrary, is that if Gen- eral Grant, following the precedent of Napoleon in Mexico, were to take possession of Cuba on the plea of civilization and humanity, there would be no excuse for intervention from Napoleon, no ground fora protest from Eng- land and no danger of a collision with Spain. She would sell out her right and title cheap for cash, and the question would be settled. Senator Ross on Personalities and Privi- lege. In the United States Senate yesterday Senator Ross, of Kansas, rose, according to privilege, and entered into a lengthy personal explanation of his late interview with Presi- dent Grant, bis object and reception, the con- versation and termination of the meeting. As is generally our fate during exciting political crises, whether individual or national, the Heratp is placed prominently forward es a participant in the affair, the report of our Washington correspondent of the 13th instant, detailing the circumstances and result, being characterized by Mr. Ross as “grossly incorrect and slanderous, both towards himself and General Grant.” He acquitted the President of the charge of treat- ing im in an angentlemanly manner, and ap- pears excellently well satisfied with his per- sonal reception at the White House. In his Political mission he was not #0 fortunate. He wanted to protest against removals from office, which are being made on a large scale in Kansas, and also to tender the services of thirty thousand ex-Union soldiers to fill them. The Senator pointed out to the Presi- @ent that the men recommended by him bad all served their country in time of danger, and said he regretted that they should have to give way to professions! ‘place hunters” and “‘skulkers in time of danger.” The real point of difference remains, therefore, in the Old question, to whom belong the ‘spoils ?” The Cano of the Rejected Consul Leede=A Very Curious Case. A Mr, Edward Stephens, nominated by President Grant as Consul to Leeds, was the other day very unceremoniously rejected by the Senate; ‘and thereby hangs a tale.” This Mr. Stephens is the son of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the authoress, a lady who, as it ap- pears, possessed and exercised considerable influence in the disiribution of the spoils under President Johnson. It will be remembered by our readers that when the famous Binckley, as Solicitor of the Treasury, by authority of Mr. Johnson, undertook last summer the task of unearthing the whiskey rings, he came on to this city and commenced a terrible war against Rollins, then Internal Revenue Commissioner, and Courtney, United States District Atwracy of this district; that Courtney was too much for Binckley on his legal points and in the matter of muscle; that Binckley was so badly beaten in the court house and pum nelted in the Astor House that be returned to Washiag ton to report progress and repair damages, At wiil next be remembered that Courtney bad a party of the name of Fiich arrested and clapped in jail in this city on a complaint of certain false charges on the whiskey business made by Fitch at Washington against said Courtney, and that, on “the sober second though,” in jail, Fitch confessed seid charges unfounded, and pleaded that he had been per- suaded to make them by Binckley and Mra, Ann §, Stephens, and that the object of Mra, Stephens was to get Courtuey avd Rollins out of office, and General Burbridgs, of Kon- tucky, appointed, in the place of Rollins, In- ternal Revenue Commissioner. This story of Fiich was pronounced untrac by Mis. Stephens; but still it seemed to be up @erstood that, having the confidence of Prosi- dent Johnson, she sympathized wilh bim in bis desire to get rid of the obnoxious Rollins. But Ro'lins, fortified by the Tenare of Olice law and the Senate, was too strong for Joh oson, and #0 held his post till the 4th of March last. Meantime Mr, Edward Stephens was nominated by Mr. Johnson as Consul to Manchoster; but the nomination fell through, The last official act of Rollins was that of procuring from President Grant an ignominious dismissal of Binckley as Solicitor of the Trevsury, and the Inst reported act of Binckley was bis ows report of the personal castigation in Washington which he felt in honor bound to give to Rollins, How, then, after all thie, did Biward Ste- * phens secure from General Grant the nomina- tion of Consul to Leeds? They say it through tho signing of his papers by half dozen republican Senators, and that, perhaps, they signed because they could not refuse the request of Indy in #0 small a matier, Why, thon, was this nomination #0 unceremoniously rejected by the Senate? Because, they say, of all these curious stories about Fiteh, Binek- ley, Mrs. Step! Courtney, Rollins, Bur- for bridge, Bourbon and Audy Jobnson, Rumor | strikers or ® Y e NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1869—QUADRUPLE SHEET. says, too, that the impeachers on the impeach- ment trial thought they might find out some- ly in reference to Woolley, Thurlow Weed and the whiskey rings—to Johnson's prejudice through Mrs. Stephens as a witness, but that she knew nothing on the subject, whereby the wrath of the Sonatorial impeachers was kindled, and hence the rejec- tion of the young man Stephens as Consul to Leeds. Lastly, in this eventful story, it appears that General Burbridge lately, it is said, aspiring to the Brazilian mission, was on Monday last arrested in Weshington and bound over to answer to an indictment of having, as special Treasury agent in Missouri (under President Johnson), been guilty of bribery in receiving money from distilleries engaged in defrauding the government. The moral of all this is tbat the lady in this case has been shamofully humbugged by her professed friends, and that she has now a fair opportunity for writing a book of facts con- cerning the Washington lobby and the wires which pull the Senate that will pay better than all the romances she ha: PROBABLE SUICIDE OF A LAWYER, Late last night Mr. Peter Y. Cutler, a lawyer well known as an influential member of the bar of this city, was found dead in his room at the Pacific Hotel, under circumstances that lead to the supposition that he committed suicide. He came to the hotel early Monday morning and asked for accommodations, which were given him, room No. 51, on the second floor, being assigned as his quartera, Since that time up to yesterday after- Doon the deceased has been wandering avout the house, evidently with no fixed purposo. yet at times exhibiting such melancholy that his condition became the cause of remarks by. the proprietor, Mr. John Patten, and his clerks, is business offices are located at No. 5 Wall street, but itis not known whether he had visited them during his temporary sojourn at the hotel or not; yet it 18 known that one of his clerks cailed upon nim with a carriage eariv esterday morning, with the intention of taking him jome, but why he would not accede to his solicita- ttons in that respect is still a secret. Shortly after lunch yesterday afternoon he was seen alive for the last time. He was then going up to his room. Later in the day one of nis friends nm him, and a waiter was sent to apprise ie fact. Knocking at bis door, he found ho could not obtain admission, of which he apprised the officer below, when Mr. Patten immediately hastened up stairs, and was shocked to find him lying undressed on his bed dead, having apparently been lifeless for some hours. A visit tothe room in question shortly after by Deputy Coroner Shine reveated the fact that a vottie of lanum was lying on the mantel, and beside It apint boitie of Bourbon whiskey, but little or the latter, however, being consumed. The de vcased lay upon the outer edge of the bed, which had not been made up, and appeared as if he nad not been recently living strictly in con- formity with temperate habits. He was unshaven, and marks of violence, as if he had been ina fight, were observed upon bis face, there being bruises under his left temple, and his right eve was biaek and blue. Mr. Cutler resided on Staten Isiaud, re he leaves a widow. He is represented to ’~ been &® man well off in this world’s goods. eg Flynn will hold an inquest on the body to- lay.
