Our readers have been authoritatively informed from Washington that the President had not thought proper to contradict the statements concerning himself ia the matter of the late Wall street panic, as he bad done nothing whatever to influence the money market or to afford any advantages to private parties; that while in New York he had many volunteer advisers, but had repeatedly said to them that the administration from time to time would act as it seemed best for the public interests; that while on the eve of going to Newport James Fisk, Jr., came on board the steamer at New York and said to the President that Gould had sent him down to ask for a little private infor- mation financially, but that on the President answering that such information would not be fair Fisk admitted it would not be; and that the President then plainly informed Mr. Fisk that the financial purposes of the government would be made known through the news- papers as occasion might require, so that there could be no possible ground for a charge of favoritism. This simple statement of General Grant will set him right before the country; and it dis- closes the sandy foundation of presumptions and conjectures upon which the leading gold bulls in their Jate dangerous experiment of running gold up to two hundred based their silly calculations, It firther appears that on that terrible Friday in Wall street (which for bulls and bears created a week of chaos), when the state of affairs ‘‘on Change” was communicated by Secretary Boutwell to the President, the latter at once responded, “Sell five millions of gold,” and that the order for the sale of four millions immediately followed—a movement which, from its dis- astrous upsetting of the rampant bulls, clearly proved that they had been counting without their host. The President, however, by this time will understand that in all these splendid dinners, balls, parties, picnics and steamboat excursions in his honor by New York financiera, gold and stock gamblers, Uhere are axes to grind and selfish schemes involved, cunning, dangerous and treacherous to the last degree, All these late charges and insinuations set afloat in Wall street in reference to the Presi- dent and his family connections were, for the moment, credited to some extent, in conse- quence of the apparently familiar relations established between the President and certain Wall street kite-flying financiera during his recent summer excursions in these parts; and so with the Secretary of the Treasury. The game of the bull ring involved in all these Wall street doings is now clearly under- stood, and the only wonder ie that it was not understood in the beginning, The charge which we have urged from the beginning still holds good against Secretary Boutwell, notwithstanding bis innocence of any selfish design in withholding till Friday the proclama- tion of the sale of gold which he should have madg on Monday or Tuesday. There could have been no gold gambling inflation, no panic, | derangement, no scandal had this thing been done, The Secretary cannot plead ignorance of the ‘‘corner” the bulls were raising, nor will the ploa of indifference as to whether bulls or bears are knocked in the head against these ‘‘cornors” avail him, His offence lies in his negligence regarding the general business affairs of the country and the damage involved in the important matters of our national credit and currency. We cannot reoall our opinion, in this view, that Mr. Boutwell is unequal to his position, He has been doing very well in some things, such as tho increase of the revenue from various sources, especially whiskey, and the reduction of the Treasury expenditures; but upon the main question of maintaining the national currency against shocks and panics he has signally failed. In General Grant's original Cabinet he had selected a man for the Treasury who would have prevented any such scenes a3 those of the Bedlamite Friday in Wall atreet. In selecting a substitute for Mr. Stewart Gene- ral Grant was borne down by the ruling politi- cians of Congress, and a professional politician accordingly took the place of a skilful and thoroughly trained practical financier. Indeed, considered in the lump or in detail, General Grant's first Cabinet—the Cabinet of his own choosing—has not been much improved by the amendments enforced by the managing politicians, Washburne, for instance, for Secretary of State, as a man on our foreign affairs repre- senting the opinions of General Grant and the predominant public sentiment of the nation, was much nearer the mark than Mr. Fish. With all our efforts to reconcile Mr. Fish with the demands of the political situation, we still find him behind the time, too slow, too cau- tious, too timid and too precise in his diplo- matic cheese parings, As a diplomat he is too much like McClellan asa soldier. In the excess of his prudence he lets his opportuni- ties slip away. Even with Robeson in the place of the venerable and amiable Borie, in the Navy Department, wo have not yet seen that any very great advantages have been gained to the administration. The simple truth is that even in the choice of his Cabinet we can now perceive that Gen- eral Grant was wiser than the politicians, and that, with all the vaunted accomplishments of Boutwell in financial affairs, Grant, when the pinch comes, has to toll him what todo. We seo that the republican party in its embarrass- ments everywhere relies upon the strong arm of General Grant, and that all parties in the South swear by his administration. The late Wall street flare-up, however, admonishes him that he must henceforward keep a sharper eye than heretofore upon his Secretary of the Treasury and his advising politicians, The Coming Races, The full account which we published on Sun- day of the preparations for the fall meeting of the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park amply justifies the public expectation that it will surpass all previous meetings in impor- tance and interest. The entries for the purses are very numerous, comprising more than a hundred horses, many of which are capital racers of the best blood. The proposed admis- mation to the ‘scene Wilth "Seto Patk, whi its extraordinary picturesqueness, presents on such an occasion, Our suggestions that each horse engaged in a race should be brought up before the grand stand and his name and colors announced to the spectators before he starts by a mounted herald, who should also announce at the close of the race the names of the winning horses; that bills of each day's sport, with programmes of the names of the horses and the colors of the riders, should be gratuitously distributed at the entrance gates, and that a competent patrol judge should be stationed near the half-mile pole, commend themselves to popular favor. If adopted by the club each race will be made more intelli- gible, and any attempt at foul riding may be promptly checked. The match day is fixed for Wednesday, October 6, and the first regu- lar day of the meeting for Saturday, October 9. The other days are to be Tuesday, Octo- ber 12, Thursday, October 14, and Saturday, October 16. There is every prospect that the fail meeting of 1869 will be signally memo- rable in the annals of the American turf. HYAOINTHE ON THE CnUROH AND THE Counor..—Father Hyacinthe’s letter in regard to the programme and _prepara- tion for tie Ecumenical Council is evi- dently an earnest utterance and not part of any man's arrangement. It gives us the honest view taken by a Christian enthusiast of what is before the Church to be done in the world, and of the way Rome pro- poses not to do it. All enthusiasts are alike in their general lineaments, No donbt the Roman priesthood in France numbers a goodly list of enthusiasts, in which case it is probable that what Hyacinthe boldly utters many others think and feel. Is the proposition of the Council to breed a grand schism? Hyacinthe's indictment is that the Conncil is not to he a coun- cil in fact, but a sham—a sort of ecclesiastical packed jury, whose members go to Rome with preordained disposition not to touch the only points that are worth the body's attention. If many men look at it in this way the Council may be for the Church what the Assembly of the Tiers Etat was for the French monarchy. A Weax Invention or Tur Exemy.—Cer- tain despatches from Cuba that tell of the horrors endured by Americans in the Cuban army have a very Spanish flavor, They tell us that the Americans are put forward to do all the fighting. That is what they go for. Americans in such service expect to monopo- lize the hard knocks. Then we are told that they get no quarter trom the Spanish troops, Well, who does? Lastly, we are informed that in addition to the butchery of the Spanish in front they are assassinated by the Cubans in their camp, We'll trust the fellows that go from here to fight for Cuba against all the assassing they can raise in that island and givo the said assassins odds, Spanish invention will have to try harder than this before it conjures up a atory that will keep the filibusters at home, Bovtwetr has gone to Philadelphia to stump the State of Pennsylvania for Geary. Wonld it not be more discreet and appropriate of the Secretary toremain in Washington and attend to the stamps in the present financial em- barrassment? We think 80, We think, too, that after permitting the late scandalous gold gambling orgies in Wall street he is not the man to remind the people of Pennsylvania of their duties to the country, The Paraguayan War—Latest from Lopez. Howover diversified may be the opinions of people regarding the character of the Preai- dent of the republic of Paraguay, there are few who will deny that he is a man of pluck and daring, fertile in resources and capable of great endurance. For over four years has he struggled against the formidable army of the allies operating against him, and the ability he has displayed, the bravery with which he has fought, and the strategy which he has invari- ably exhibited, entitle him to rank with the greatest heroes of ancient or modera days. Driven from his capital at Asuncion, beaten on the Parana river, routed at Ascurra and at Peribuby, and badly defeated at Curupaiti, he still lives to continue the fight and maintain the independence of the republic. The latest accounts from the seat of war inform us that Lopez has strongly entrenched himself in the Grand Cordilleras. His post- tion is described as being almost impregnable, and, from present appearances, here will he remain until his army is sufficiently strength- ened to again take the fleld and assume tho aggressive, On the other hand the announce- ment is made that dissensions have arisen in the allied army, and that the Argentines were preparing to dissolve their covenant with the Brazilians and depart for home. If recent accounts prove true, that the allies are about to depart from Paraguay, leaving, however, a small force at Asuncion for the protection of the provisional government there, their operations for the last few years against Lopez will result in no advantages to thom, The man who for so long a period could with- stand disastrous defeats and sustain losses enough to strike dismay to the heart of one less brave and demoralize followers far less tenacious, and still exhibit as bold a front as ever, will not remain inactive long, and before many months pass it would not sur- prise us if, with his army recuperated, he came forth from his fastuesses in the moun- tains, regained his former positions and com- pelled the provisional government at Asun- cion—which only a short time since declared Lopez an outlaw—to flee before his victorious march. If Lopez is the inhuman savage which he is by some represented to be, how is it that he is enabled to hold together his army, or how can it be explained that the people, even in many instances the women, rally around his stand- ard? The allied armies have traversed trium- phantly a large tract of Paraguay, and have offered great inducements to the people to engage with them in their efforts against Lopez; yet we find not more than five hundred Paraguayans are fighting with the Count d'iu. Aside from the alleged bra- talities of Lopez, it is undeniable that the Paraguayan chief is making a brave fight against overwhelming odds for the mainte- nance of republican principles and a fierce and stubborn resistance against the encroachments of the Brazilian monarchy. That European governments should stand aloof and appear unconcerned spectators of the progress of events in South America is apparent. Brazil Bat why tho Xierioatt Poptbiles AAS cA REY the same degres of apathy it is hard to say. However, Lopez still lives, His position to-day is said to be safo. The fight is not yet ended, and how it will terminate is a question the future alone will determine. A Trinno Equivortiat, The autumnal equinox in this region this year appears to have divided itself into three paris, thus spreading over a much longer period of time than usual, It commenced in the early part of September—several days before it was due—in the terrific storm which swept through New England, the tail of it brushing New York, and it made sad ravages in Boston and vicinity. But on Sunday, the 26th, just a week later than the proper “opening day,” which, according to the almanac, is the 21st, New York and the suburbs were visited by a terrific gale. This was the second chapter in the equinoctial story, and it was a pretty stormy one—nearly as bad as that which was enacted in Wall street on the previous Friday. But on Sunday night last came, if not the severest, the broadest blow of all, accompanied by such heavy rains as have not been seen for many aday. From Saturday night till Monday noon the rain poured down in torrents, covering all the thirsty land from the Carolinas to the Canadas, The variation in the natural laws of late years is something very remarkable, including storms, meteors and earthquakes, Our telegraphic reports from all parts of the country tell of great damage to property and some loss of life by the overflow of the rivers, creeks and canals, Railroad travel was inter- rupted by the washing away of tracks, and the interruption will probably continue daring the greater part of to-day. In this State the destruction of property was less than on pre- vious occasions of freshets, although the value of what was destroyed was by no means inconsiderable. In Pennsylvania and Mary- land and in and around Washington the storm was of great severity, doing much damage, Parts of Phiiadelpbia and Baltimore, Washing- ton and Georgetown were submerged, and the total loss inflicted upon those cities will doubtless aggregate a vast sum of money. The grain crops being for the most part gathered, no injury was done to them; but we fear that if the storm extended to the far Southern States the cotton crop has been injured. No reports, however, have been received from those States indicating unusually severe weather, It is likely, therefore, that they have escaped the fierce, driving torrents which fell in this section of the country, The Parsons on Wall Street, From the two parsons who on Sunday directly made the Wall street excitement the subject of discoyrse we receive a valuable tes- timony. They both declared from their own knowledge that there really are some honest men in Wall street. Mr. Beecher said there are some men there ‘‘as good in godly purposes and life as ever walked the face of the earth,” Dr. Cuyler sald, ‘I know more than one upright, consistent, large-hearted Christian who is a broker in stocks or a dealer in bul- ion.” This, as we have said, is a valuable testimony on mooted point, though it does not enable us to tell on which side the hopes or fears respectively of the reverend gentlemen were—does not tell us how they stood with regard ta the corner—that la, not a Le Een ee Gi DAY, OCTOBER 5, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. LL clearly. If wo take an inference for it the fact of two persons thus standing up to bear evi- dence to the character of their acquaintances in the street would imply that they won and got the money, and with it a good opinion of the brokers, We are sorry to say this first rate character for the financiers is spoiled, go far as Dr. Cuyler goes, later in his discourse. He kicks the bucket over when he lays down the teat of bia honest broker. He must be a man who makes no transaction in stocks but such as “‘the public good requires,” Other- wise he is a gambler. How many of these honest fellows does Dr. Cuyler know ? Opening of the Law Courte—The October ‘Term. Yesterday was the opening day of the Octo- ber term of the law courts. From this time till the next summer vacation judges and law- yers will have their hands full of work. As usual, however, for the next couple of months lawyers and litigants will have io wait, with what patience they may, the result of the November and December elections, before entering on the trial of the more important cases on the calendars, In the interim the Judges will have their minds more exercised in watching the political chessboard and in influencing to the best of their endeavors the game upon which depeads their own continu- ance in office, than disposing of the cases on the respective calendars of the courts, A great number of vacancies are accruing on the bench of the higher courts, while the present roster of civil and police justices becomes defunct through the expiration of the terms for which the several incumbents have been elected. Inthe Supreme Court there will be one vacancy, in the Superior Court three, Common Pleas one, Marine Court one, Surro- gate’s Court one, and a vacancy each in the Recorder's Court and in the District Attorney's office, The present incumbents in the two latter offices will be renominated by the Tammany democracy, and as they are individually esteemed and have the perfect confidence of the voters of every politi- cal organization in the city, they will no doubt be unopposed, and consequently will be re-elected. Two of the present Judges in the Superior Court—McCunn and Friedman— are also slated for renomination by Tam- many, though likely candidates will be put in opposition to their election by the republican and other outside democratic organizations, For the Superior Court vacancy in the Tam- many interest Judge Curtis, of the Marine Court, and Justice Dennis Quinn, of the First District, are. candidates, For the vacancy in the Court of Common Pleas Frederick M. Loew and ex-Judge Leonard are Tammany gandidates. No opposition ig yet spoken of to Indge Gross’ re-election to the Marine Court, Notwithstanding the favorable prospect the outgoing Judges have for a new lease of judi- cial place and power as thus presented, the glorious uncertainty always present on the minds of political candidates will sadly inter- fere with a regular and prompt despatch of business till after the election is decided. In yesterday's Hmranp, under the head of iDha Cauete the bneinaca af tha several courts—the consignment of Judges for duty at the several terms, and at Cham- bers, and other matters pertaining to the judicial work set down for the present month—was officially set forth, The cases set down for trial and argument are neither numerous nor important, and the Judges will have plenty of time to spare from official duty to attend to political gorry- mandering, the thing nearest their judicial hearts at present. In the United States Circuit and District Courts for the Southern District of the State Judges Benedict and Blatchford will preside. Here no political mancuvring comes in to obstruct or retard the regular despatch of business, and the Judges will be fully occupied during the term. Judge Benedict will try criminal cases in the Circuit Court, the more important of which set down peremptorily for trial are the whiskey ring cases which occu- pied so large a share of public attention last year, and which, though repeatedly brought into court by the then District Attorney, Mr. Courtney, were from time to time postponed up to the adjournment of the court. In the United States District Court Judge Blatchford will sit throughout the month for the trial of admiralty cases—a large calendar, and embracing several cases of great importance to the parties in litigation, On the whole, when the work of the courts is fairly entered on, there will be plenty of work for the gentle- men of the bar and a rich harvest of fees to be gathered in, no matier to which side of @ case the scales of justice may incline. Sporting Exrraorpinary.—Our city in- dulged on Sunday in the unaccustomed luxury of a bull fight, and it is astonishing to observe how much better we can do such things, evon extemporaneously, than they are done with all appliances and means to bootia Spanish cities. For the arena we had the whole city, All the streets were spread before the noble animal, from Rose Hill to St, Paul's, and from St. Paul's to the East river, and for bull-fightors we had all the boys and men and women and babies that Sunday lets loose, Up and down these streets, driven by and driving these bull- fighters, the bull, which was an ox, ramped and roared and rushed for several hours, Everybody that had an old loaded pistol on hand emptied it at him as he went by, and when his carcase is sold by weight there must be a large allowance for lead. It is presumed that the ox’a body stopped all the flying bul- lets, for no other body seems to have been hit, Corp Comrorr.—Mr, Fish’s answer to the owners of the Euterpe would be more satis- factory to them if it were less like that of a certain judge in a certain story. One who was well threatened wanted the judge to give him some safety against the threatener. Judge thought the facts were insufficient to justify interference, ‘But, sir, he'll murder me,” said the petitioner, ‘Let him,” said the jadge, “let him; then there'll bo a ease, sir, and you'll eee that I'll hang him.” Mr. Fish can- not prevent the Hornet seizing the Euterpe, but if she does he will use all the power of the government to “punish the offenders.” But seriously, what “protection” did the’owners of the Ruterpe expaet? Did they fancy that the navy was kept to fight the phantoms of rumor, and to render ext¢a hazardous commerce safe than any other? Let them go to the under. writora Senator Sprague Out Again. ' Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, is out again with a grand idea about the management of our national finances. He proposes the creation in New York—the great money centre of the country—of a ‘‘National Council of Finance,” whose functions it shall be to take charge of the public debt and the public reve- nues, and instead of using them for the pro- motion of private schemes and speculation to employ them for the public benefit. The sug- gestion is nota bad one; but what security can be given that the proposed ‘National Council of Finance” may not be composed of corrupt financial rogues, like those who have recently come near essentially damaging the credit of the country by their operations in Wall street? The financial affairs of the nation can be well enough managed by the agenta already engaged in their administration, pro- vided the right kind of men be selected for the business. It wants a stronger, a more saga- cious head and a brain more familiarized with great matters of finance than distinguishes the presént head of the Treasury Department of the government to make the fiscal concerns of the nation work smoothly and harmoniously. With proper men in proper places the griev- ances complained of would be removed, and no neceasity prevail for the trial of the oxperi- ment suggested by Senator Sprague, From Waar Sourog comes the news that the Cuban patriots are treating American volunteers with great brutality, pushing them to the front in every fight and leaving the wounded on the field tobe massacred? It ia a suspicious story, and bears upon its face a Spanish origin, The object, of course, is to throw a damper upon recruiting in this coun- try. The men who would join the Cuban ranks are not generally of that class which is likely to be deterred from any adventure by tales of this kind, Privozk NAPOLEON AND THE AMERIGANS.— Prince Napoleon is wise in his generation, He knows where power and help lie, So long as ho is in perfect harmony with the American people, and in harmony at the same time with the head of his house, it well be well for tho Bonaparte dynasty and well for France, In his democratic mission we wish the Prince Godspeed. Tne Boston PEACE JUBILEE AND THE D18- ABLED Sorprers.—When the ‘‘Hub” and all New England were agog about the late Ponce Jubilee it was ostentatiously announced that the surplus receipts, over and above the ex- penses, would be devoted to the assistance of disabled soldiers, The affair was pronounced a grand success, and a very considerable sum, it is said, remained in the hands of the direc« tors after the expenses had all been liquidated. Now the question arises, what has become of this surplus? How much has been given for the relief of the poor disabled soldiers? Who can tell? _—_——_—_—_—— ARMY (NTELLIGENGE.
