pie NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1869—TRIPLE SHERT. THE GOLD RING. Secret History of the Conspiracy. The Tripariite A'liance--Gould, Fisk and Corbin. THE PRESIDENT’S POSITION. Fisk Tries to Manipulate the Press--- How He Succeeded. ‘Whue pondering over the disastrous results of the desperate conflict between the powerful clique known as ‘‘the ring”? and the horde of outside gam- biers in gold, which culminated in the commercial crash of Friday, the 24th ult., the public mind has been still further disturbed by rumors of a most startling nature concerning the origin of the great “bull” conspiracy and the parties implicated therein. Vague as these rumora were, and preposterous as ‘Were some of the accusations so mysteriously set afloat, they were, nevertheless, eagerly seized upon ‘and seriously discussed by such of the speculators as had been ruined by the operations of “the ring,” Demoralized by the fearful losses they had sustained, and astounded at the extraordinary daring and con- fidence their opponents had displayed through- out the struggle, the bewildered “bears” were pre- pared to belleve anything tending to corroborate the avowals openly made by the men who worked ner,” thatthe “highest power in the land” hem, and that the ring had a warrant or other positive assurance from Washington that the government would not interfere with their opera- tions. Bat then arose the question, “How was it the government did interfere?’ True, the interven- tion was deferred until the last moment—until thousands nad been ruined, but it checked the “bulls”? in mid-career, as it were, and astonished them beyond measure. That the ring had been operating on some kind of assurance of govern- ment nou-intervention was certain, from the unparaliecled magnituae of their operauons and the boldness with which they worked, What was the natore of that assurance? How was it obtamed, and why was the support on which they so confidently relied withdrawn in the supreme moment of the crisis? Springing from some unknown but unfailing source, spread with amazing rapidity from mouth to mouth, and exag- gerated as they were disseminated, these wild ramors of government “aid and comfort” and of the complicity of certain parties nolding high ofices in the service of the nation, with the conspirators who concocted the ‘‘corner” were at length seized upon by the Bohemian and opera boufe press of this city, manipulated into “astounding revelations” of the most sensational character, and sent throughout the length and breadth of the land, Indignant at the audacious attempt to connect the honored name of the President with those of the unscrupulous gamblers, who unblushingly acknowledge their respective, shares in the infamous operations which Wee worked so much disaster to our corjgerce and credit, the nation now demandena shat the secret history of the “goid ring” be brought to light, and that the accom- Plices who hav@ hitherto been cowering tn the back- ground be brought forward and rewarded according to their desserts. The task of collecting the mate- rial for that SECRET HISTORY, by following the intricate and artfully-covered trails the prime movers and watching every Mdve of the arch conspirators, devolved updn the HERALD, and it 18 Dow completed. There is light at last—light which proves the President as stainless in this mat- ter as, despite the vile slanders which have been 80 freely circulated against his fair name, the people have known and proclaimed him to be throughout; Hight whicn reveals the toils which have beep tangled to ensnare the unsuspecting, and the pitfails prepared for the unwary; light which Bcorches more guilty souls than one. Knowing that the HERALD was slowly and surely following up the trail of those who brought about the recent financial convulsion and consequent calamities—gaining closer upon the heels of the fugitives of the ring each day and carefully collecting the necessary proofs, the huntsmen of the partisan press clamored loudly for “disclosures’—for documents. Something, any- thing that would give the clue and enable them to start their baffled packs on the right scent. Stiently, steadily and surely the HERALD followed the chase— swerving neither to right nor left from the “VIEW HALLOO |”? until the principal quarry was down—panting in terror on its quivering haunches, There will be rare yelping and deep-mouthed baying when the faulty packs at length scent the carcases, but the HzRaLp alone was “‘in at the death.” Now for the details of this grand hunt, and the particulars of the capture of tne great gorilla of Wail street, the gold-zobbling Gould; the amphibi- ous what-is-it? or “ring’-talled financial ourang- outang, otherwise known to naturansts and the world at large as the “irrepressible Jim Fisk Junior,’’ and last, but by no means least, curious or interest- img, that Methodistical monstrosity and perplexing nondescript, that outrageous freak of nature, woolly horse Abel RK. Corbin. Never before, perhaps, did birds of such strange feather flock together, but they have demonstrated themselves *‘feliows of the same kidney,” and that fact vastly diminishes the mystery of their association. it is a matchless trio, however, and as far as Onancial morality goes (f. ¢., supposing there to be such a virtue), and it is hard to decide which is the more inexplicable monster, Alarmed at the increasing fury of the honest bark of that most faithful of watch dogs, public opinion, the herd which followed these ‘ring’ leaders hastily gathered the golden spoils they had squeezed from the belated “bears” whom they had caught napping, and endeavored to retreat unseen. Off they scam- pered in devil-take-the-hindmost order, The woolly horse got “winded” almost instantly, and, making for some very tall grass, laid as low as possibile. Gorilla Gould headed the main body and skilfully led them out of sight by a labyrinth of secret paths, ‘with the intricacies of which few beside himself are familiar, Fisk, the slippery What-is-it? was left to bring up the rear, cover up the tracks, and, if possible, decoy pursuers from the trail by leading them off on & wild-goose chase, or the atill better plan of halting them in amazement by the disclosure of some extra- ordinary mare's nest. How Fisk succeeded will be shown inthe sequel. One by one he let the tricks out of his bag, but charmed he ever so wisely the HERALD followed the main trail until it finally startled him with its “view halloo!” The dazzling admiral’s uniform worn by the amphibious ring- sailed financial ourang-outang stood out so conspic- nously irom both landscape and waterscape that every turn he made was noted, and, becoming aware -of this, he nally halted, and, as a last desperate resource, unmasked his mare’s nest. And such a mare’s nest! But “thereby hangs @ tale,” and as that tale will be allthe more interesting if told as Fisk told it, the particulars of the first astounding disclosures are hereto appended:— ¥ISK'S STATEMENT—HOW ROME WAS TO BE MADE TO HOWL, Scene—The tnnermoat chamber of the Erie Palace. ‘time—Near midnight, The representative of the HIBRALD discovered in the depths of a capacious arm-chalr, cushioned with fawn-colored morocco, embossed with the gracefully ontwined initials “E. Ry’ in gold, A siding panel moves slowly in Na roves aud the portly form of the Prince of Erie oozes a8 slowly and silently through the aperture, ‘She Prince is gorgeously arrayed in costly veivet, the sheen of priceless diamonds and the glare of hia trebly ref_ned gold surround him with a radiance before which the very gas jets wink and biigk and ‘pale their inetectaal fires,” ReronrsR—You have sent for me and I am here. Fisk (seating himself so as to be able to pour dis more or #8 “round, unvarnished tale’ into the very drnm of the listener's ear without spillingta | single word)—You are aware, of course, that we have just passed through a great financial crisis— that the “ring” made a “corner” and all that, and “pulled” gold, &c. Well, that’s all right. Now, or course, you know my position in the matter. Every- body lays the blame on me. I’ve bad the whole load to bear #0 far. Lam threatened with assassination, I’m caged up here like a tiger in a menagerie, enjoy just about as much liberty; can’t go ont even at | night, and that’s just when I want to go about a , litue, without running pretty considerable risk | of getting shot for the doings of other people. Now [ve stood this just about long eHdugh, and I’m determined not to stand it any longer; 80 I’m just going to maxe a clean breast of it and expose the parties who got up the “corner.’? I can make Rome how! at somebody else besides me—somebody you would never suspect of being connected with this affair. Ihave a most astounding revelation to make; but before I do so, you must promise that it shall be published, If the HERALD won't publish it, 1 shall give it to one of the other papers. You saw the Tridune man waiting. I’ve got the other re- porters here too, They’d publish anything, but then they represent parties, and people would taink it an election dodge if they brought it out. Now the HERALD being the leading paper, and the only one that 1s independent, I should prefer you publishing it—it would have more weight then.” After much fencing, our reporter allowed himself to be “tickled”? 80 extensively by the Prince’s high opinion of the HERALD that he promised tue state- ment should be pubiished, Fisk was so eager to clinch this bargain that he forgot to ask when his astounding disclosures were to be made public. Under the eon it would appear in the next Issue the ‘Made the following verbal statement:— Ido not deny that I was interested in the ‘cor- ner.” Myself and my parmer, Gould, were in the “ring.” Now, then, we are speculators. I had nothing to do with the concoction of the “corner?)— it was all fixed before I was let into the secret, Now, do you or does any one else imagine that we should have risked millions, as we did, unieas we had positive assurance that the gov- ernment would not interfere with our operations, Of course we showd not. Any one can see that, Well, then, I now tell you that we had something more than an assurance to that effect. Mere as- surance would not have been sufficient. Members of the President's family were in with us. The Presi- dent himself was interested with us In the corner. ‘This astonishes you, does it not? Rerorrer—Well, I must confess it does, slightly, Fisk—Slightly! Ah! you suspected it, then? It was Fisk’s audacity in making such a charge which occasioned the slight astonishment, Fisk—I told you I could make Rome howl, didn’t 1? Well, won’t that be suiicient to make Grant trembie in his boots ? REPORTER—We shall gee. Do you mean to assert that President Grant was aware of the nature of your intended operations to bull gold? Fisk—Why, of course he was, and with him mem- bers of his family and parties holding high offices, And now I will tell you how it originated and wno siarted it, It was planned by Jay Gould and Abel R, Corbin, President Grant’s brother-in-law. Why, damn it! old Corbin married into Grant's family for the purpose of working the thing in that direction, ‘That's all he married for this last time. Corbin’s next move was to secure his son-in-law’s appoint- ment to the Sub-Treasury of New York. His gon-in- law, R. B, Cathwood, you know. Ultimately Corbin got Cathwood to withdraw in favor of General But- terfleld, on condition that Cathwood should have one-quarter of tne profit, Next the Tenth National Bank was bought, for a purpose which need not now be explained, it being a Comparatively unimportant point. ‘The frst thing I did in the imat- ter was to sound the President. I had several intor- views with him on the subject, aud finally, with Corbin’s influence, everything was arranged and we set to work. On Gefng questioned ax to his motive for exposing iif alleged confederates Mr. Fisk replied with much feeling:— “Becanse they went back = «« and came near rulning us. They would have ruined us had we not been smarzer than chain-lightning and managed to turn when the log turned. We risked our millions onthe assurance that the government would not in- terfere. Grant got scared, however, when the crisis came, and gave Boutwell instructions to gell. And now 1’ tell you what scared Grant. Kimber, a man who was in the pool with us, backed out at the last mo- ment. He sold out and got short. Discovering that he had deceived us Gould “put up gold” on him and broke him. Then Kimber leaked, Kimber’s state- ment was telegraphea on to Grant, and the result was Boutwell’s order to sell, Now, up to the time the government interfered with our operations I held in my hands the cards for fifteen millions, and should have made that had they let us alone that day. But the crash came beforeI had made nine millions even. Now, you are surprised that I should be willing to expose the other parties engaged in this transaction, I see no reason for shielding them. As I said before, I've borne the entire load long enough, and now my live is in danger and I’m going to make them take their share of the responsibility. Another thing, I am @ speculator. There’s nothing wrong that I can see in my belng connected with the ‘ring,’ but I don’t know about Corbin, Grant and the rest of the:n, Guess they've been going a little out of their line, ain’t they, What do you think? Won't this statement make Rome howl, aye?” REPORTER—SO astounding @ statement as this mnst be supported by proofs—strong proofs, some- thing in the way of ‘confirmation strong as holy writ,” Mr. Fisk. Can you show me anything In that linet After requiring and receiving a pledge of strict secrecy the Prince of Erie submitted his “proofs.” They will speak for themselves, however, and the perusal of this secret history will enable the public to estimate their exact worth. ‘The above conversation contains the sum and sub- stance of Mr. Fisk’s first astounding disclosures, ‘The interview took place on the night of Wednesday, the 20th ult. THE CLUE. ‘There was a great deal more in Fisk’s mare’s nest than he imagined, It gave a clue which has led to te unravelling of the entire mystery, It not only revealed the source of the strange rumors which had been so industriously circulated, but it revealed the object at which the sianderers of the President were aiming. Fisk may be an adept at manipulat- ing gold stocks, shares and all that kind of thing, but he has @ great deal to learn before he can manipulate the HERALD. He was rash enough to essay the latver task, however, but for the matter of that he ts rash enough for anything. On calling at the Erie office for the further information promised, onthe morning of the 30th of September, Mr. Fisk led the writer from the office to the theatre, and thence to the stage entrance, where a carriage was waiting. “You come with me, and I will show you something,” said Mr. Fisk, and then, advancing to the coachman, he gave directions to be driven to the residence of Mr. Cor- bin. On arriving at the house, No. 37 West Twenty- seventh street, Mr. Fisk requested the reporter to await his return. Mr. Fisk remained in the house about an hour, and while he was there the reporter of an opera douse journal was admitted. It was cvident that Mr. Fisk was aware that his own statement would go for litte, and that he was particularly anxious to have it known that he did visit the house of Mr. Corbin on this particular Gay. He calculated that the representative of the HeRaLp would be more valuable as a witness to this fact than any of his own creatures, and so far he calcu- lated correctly, but he was particularly anxious that the Heratp should blazon the fuct to the public, and thus aasist him in proving Corbin’s connection with the ring, or at any rate his intimacy with Fisk; but in that respect the ‘‘cool- headed, sharp, keen President of the Erie road” w: grievously disappointed, The next day he com- plained that the HERALD would not publish any of his astounding disclosures and candidly acknow- ledged that he had been trapped into giving the Herat such information as gave it the “inside track" of the other journals and placed nim ma rather awkward corner. The Admtrai was exceod- ingly vexed and declared his intention of making such further disclosures as were necessary through some other medium, He acknowledged his ipability to work the HRRALD and was compelled to take counsel with his master, the far-sighted Gould, At this juncture PISK’S WEAKNESS Was discovered. The Ringtailed Financial Ourang- | Outang has a weakness for afMdavits. He particu- lariy wanted one from our reporter, proving that he Was tn Corbin’s house on the 30th of September. He said no one would believe the statements of the re- porter who “interviewed” Corbin for the opera bouffe journal previously mentioned, As “a very particular fayor,”’ and in consideration of “further important disclosures,” the aMdavit was given and Fisk was. again An the tolls of the HERALD, ‘The fgl- lowing is @ copy of the amidavit:— State of New York, Ctty ana County of New York, 88.—George Orouch, being duly sworn, : Ido hereby certify that on the 30th day of September last, while I was seated in Mr. James Fisk, Jr.’s cal 4 front of Mr, Abel R. Corbin’s residence, waiting for suid Fisk, who was within said residence, I saw a representative of the New York Sun paper eater and leave said residence, and that Mr. James Fisk, Jr., came out after the departure of sald representa- tve of the Sun, and thatl accompanied Mr, Fisk to his office in the Erte Butldings, corner Twenty- third street and Kighth avenue. GEO! CROUCH. Sworn to the 6th day of Uctober, 1869, before me, Mortimer SairH, Notary Public, New York. THE OTHER AFFIDAVITS. With the above exception the aMdavits which bave been published by Mr. Fisk were made by per- Sons in the employ of Messrs. Fisk and Gould. They may be correct as far as they go, but what do they prove? Let us examine them in detail. Charles McIntosh, the superintendent of the Erie ferries, Swears he met Abel R, Corbin at the Erle offices on Friday, the 24th of September, and that Corbin acknowledged himself deeply “interested,” and ex- pressed the hope that Messrs. Fisk & Gould “would come out all right; Fredrick W. Banfield, Mr. Jay Gould’s coachman, testifies that Fisk was in Cor- bin’s house on Thursday, the 30th ult., and that within the last three months he has repeatedly driven Messrs. Fisk and Gould to No. 87 Weat Twenty-seventh street. C. W. Pollard, a gentleman connected with the Erle establishment, and the iramer of all the affidavits published so far, testifies that Corbin was in constant communication with Measrs. Fisk and Gould during the period of the late financial excitement. So far so good. Further, the HERALD Is fully aware of the fact that Messrs, Gould, Fisk and Corbin have had important business rela- tions with each other, and 13 in possession of infor- mation which removes all doubt as to the nature of those relations. ‘The last aMdavit—that of William ©. Chapin—who is also in the employ of Mesers. Fisk and Gould, forms another link in the chain of evidence brought forward to prove Curbin’s connection with the ring, and it reveals aportion of the machinery set io motion to further the mfamous scheme devised to entangle the President and control the action of the Secretary of the Treasury. THE PRIME MOVER, Having sufiiciently squeezed that luscious orange, Fisk, the HERALD representative next turned his attention to Jay Gould, the Napoleon of finance. Then came the real tug of war. We lay our spoils before the public and leave them to decide which party had the best of the struggle. The following ig the information extracted from the gold-gobbling gorilla of Wall street concerning THOSE IN THE POOL. Besides two distinguished generals, now holding high offices under the government, and whose names we withhold for the present, a number of prominent officials of this city and a corresponding nuniber of Tammany chieftains are more or less involved. Mr. Abel #. Corbin has to prove that he did not receive a check for $100,000 and another for $25,000 from Jay Gould, in con- sideration for his services in securing the assurance of government non-intervention and on account of his interest in the pool. The $100,000 eck Was returned 19 Wi ame as goon Meets Cid Yo 8 eae Uf Baty rt oa $25,000 check was cashed and can be traced. Cor- bin has to prove that he was not interested in the “corner” to the extent of three millions in gold and two millions in government bonds, The check for $25,000 hag been traced to the Bank of America; the Bank of America collected it trom the Common- wealth. Tf Corbin was interested to the extent men- toned nie 1000 ana rnmoonmant in a-ts-aewwm ey ue ring amounts to something like $300,000. If Mr. Corbin cannot prove his mmnocence of the above charges then he has to confess to being concerned in the infamous attempts to entangle his illustrious brother-in-law in the meshes prepared by the un- principled gold gamblers who worked the corner and confess how atterly he failed in so doing. Finding that the Heratp would not further their plans by publishing thelr “astounding disclosures’? and worthless affidavits, Messrs, Fisk and Gould made arrangements to secure the co-operation of an opéra bouge journal. A few of the many documents which nad been submitted for the considera- tion of the editor of the HgeRaLp and so diplomatic- ally declined were, consequently, offered to one ot the small papers, ana it would seem that those two financial actors got the best of the editor, and “pre vailed upon him to prostituce his columns to thew purposes, MR. CORBIN’S STATEMENT. On the publication of the letter over Fisk's signa- ture, dated October 4, 1869, and the afi- davits attached, the HeraLp representative called upon Mr. Corbin for the purpose of learning what he had to say on the subject, and to give him an opportunity of clearing himself of the grave charges brought against him. On entering Mr. Corbin’s room the writer found him in bed. He complained of sulfering from disease of the heart. REPoRTER—I come, Mr. Corbin, to get your denial of the charges made against you in the letter pub- lished by Mr. Fisk this morning. You have seen the letter, have you not? Mr, ConBrIn—Oh, yes, 1 have seen it. A kind friend brought it to me just mow. It is dreadful, but I can say nothing about it. REPORTER—If not equal to the task of answering the charges in detail, you will surely give a general denial. Mr. CorBIN—No. At present I cannot say any- thing. Iam sick, You must go to my friends, Mr, A. T. Stewart or Colonei Howe, of Wail street; they know me, They know I am innocent of these charges. They will give you more informaticn. Rerorter—But, Mr. Corbin, your friends cannot speak for you in this matter. You are able to tell me that your friends know you are innocent. Let me have from your own lips a denial of the charges, Mr. Corbin then raised himself in the bed and vowed by his God and all that he held sacred that he was inno way connected with the operations of Fisk and Gould; that the charges that he was inte- rested with Messrs. Fisk and Gould in the recent gold speculation are wholly without foundation. Te denied that he had any interest, directly or indi- rectly, in any speculation in gold or government bonds, with or under the direction of said Fisk and Gould, or either of them and further, that ho had never received any check or money from either of them on account of said spec- ulation or for any other purpose. It was all a base fabrication, for the purpose of blackmailing him. They were trying to work upon him on account of his relationship to General Grant. “I swear to you,” he exclaimed, raising his hand and ooking the reporter straight in the face, “that Fisk and Gould have never been to my house since Gould called last summer when the President was here. I have no connection with such men. When When the President was here my house was open, and I received all who came to see him with open arms.” Rerorter—Then the statements published the other day to the effect that Fisk was here on the soth of September, last, are false? Mr. Consin—False, every word. I will solemnly swear that Fisk was notin my house on that day nor was his carriage atthe door, The aMdavit of the man Banfleid, whom I supposed to be a detec- tive, that he saw the carriage at the door, ia a Lie, Banfleid is Mr. Jay Gould's coachman, Mr. Corbin sank back on the bed completely over- come with emotion, ALL IN A NUTSHELL. Fisk and Gonld and their fellow conspirators are trapped in their own “corner.” Let the “bears’’ rejoice. But if all the gold gamblers could be trapped together, bulis and bears, it would be a subject for national rejoicing, The only thing the President had to do with the “‘ring’’ was to defeat its enda, and he did bis utmost towards it. Had the man of his choice been Seorecary of the Treasury the whole sachemo Would have been nipped in the bud, Were any of . the members of the President's family in the conspl- racy to “bull” gold he will reward them according to thelr deserts, Individuals may have profited, but the “ring” as a whole lost tearfully by the recent operations. Fisk and Gould are preasing Corbin to pay up what they allege to be his proportion of the lossea, and other parties are pressing Fisk and | Gould—pressing hard, too, Fisk and Gould origt- nated the slanders against the President in order to force Corbin to pay up. The gold gamblers have failen out among themselves, and who knows bat that honest men may ¢ gntually get their rights? THE GOLD BOARD. Executive Session of the Gold Board—A Lively Debate and Discussion—Tho New Clearance House Question—Definkte Action Further Postponed. A special executive session of the Gold Exchange was held yesterday at twelve o'clock, pursuant to appointment by the board on Tuesd: for the Purpose of taking action on the report of the committee of nine relative to the estabilsh- ment of a clearing house within the Gold Ex- change. The report of the committee under consi. deration was published in the HERALD of Wednes- day. On motion of Mr. Cotgars, attorneys for members of the board were excluded from participating in the proceedings of the executive session, and were Tequested to withdraw from the meeting. ‘The SECRETARY then read the report of the com- mittee, and Mr. RoBERT BILE moved to lay the re- Port on the table, Mr, LELAND seconded the motion, amid great con- fusion and cries of “No, uo;’? but before the vote Was taken Mr. UNDERHILL asked the privilege of making a statement, Upon being invited to the President's desk Mr. Underhill said that he haa been requested by the directors of the Gold Exchange Bank to state that after a careful examination of the bank’s ac- counts it had been ascertained that the affairs of the bank were in a perfectly sound condition and the firm solvent. The directors asked a little time of the Gold Exchange before taking final action on the subject of a clearance house, and hoped that they would postpone the question five days, The Gold Exchange Bank had served the Exchange faithfully in the past, aad it was proposed to reorganize the Clearing House with new directors and new officers. If the members of the Gold Exchange wished it the directors would abolish the bank altogether. Mr. Undernill’s remarks were received with noisy manifestations of satisfaction and pororsl Mr. BaiLe saga ted that the Gold Exchange cowd not establish a new ciearing house at once anyway, as ten days’ notice must be given to the xchange Bank before withdrawing from It. Mr. Hopesxin—The bank has fatied. Mr, BAILE—So have you failed a|smuch, (Great confusion.) Mr. COLGATE called for the question, and stated the motion to be to jay the report on the table and discharge tne committee, (Cries of “No, no; that aint 60," &c.) Mr. BURNS moved that tne consideration of the subject be postponed one week. (Shouts of ‘Yes’? and “No” and loud noise.) Mr. Hopeskin, mounted ape @ chair, sald that if the motion of Mr. Underhill was adopted the sub- ject would simply be postponed a week. Did tho members wish to do that or settle the question now? It seemed that the proposition of tho Gold Exchange Bank was in every respect reasonable, and thoy might get along a week longer with their present system, but to lay on the table as proposed would shut off discussion. Although he had been oppoved to the Gold Exchange Bank, still he felt disposed to deal with 1t, especially as the directors had made go fair an offer to the board. (Uries of ‘Good, that’s right,” &c.) The report of the committee was then laid over by a large maortty vote, The Presidént (Mr, Cox) asked if the board desired an earnest eifert to be made to get_the injunctions upon the Exchi dissolved? (Shouts of “Yes, evil par 000.9) «da yy osehes . ir. LELAND Bal i @ board oug!it to appropriate a ry money to carry the thing through. ¢ PRES stated that the officers of the board had éngaged counsel and would push the matter as fast as possible as soon as an expression was given by the board of its desire for such to be done. ‘The question, upon being put to vote, received an almost unantmous expression of approval, but one person voting in tie negative. ‘Mr. Bale Lhougut the injunctions ought not to be removed untt! all parties had obtained thelr money Mr. Kepler said that those who were sold out under the rvle ought to be notified to keep out of the Gold Room until they had settled their diifer- ences. The PRESIDENT remarked that they were estopped from buying or selling out and from expelling or suspending members by the injunctions, r. HUTCHINSON moved that those who could not settle their differences be requested, asa point of honor, to refrain from trading in the room. Mr. HopGskIN moved an amendment providin; for a committee to ascertain who had not compile with their contracts. Mr. COLGATE said that matter was already dis- posed or by tlie constitution of the board, The PRESipENT—But we are prohibited by the in- junctions from executing the provisions of the constitution, Mr. CoLGaTE—Then let us ignore the injunctions and fight it out. ‘They are unjust and illegal, and I am in favor of golug on with our business regardiess of them, The motion of Mr, Hutchison was then adopted. Mr. VAN SCHAICK moved that the Secretary of the board be instructed to post on the bulletin a list of persons who had not settled their differences, for the information of members. Carried. Mr. LELAND proposed that any contract hereafter made with those who had not settled their difer- ences should not be binding until after they nad compiled with their former contracts, ‘Lhe PRESIDENT again called attention to the fact eres injunctions prevented such action by the oard, Mr. VAN SCHAICK asked who had been employed as counsel and how much were the fees. The PRESIDENT stated that Mr. Clarence A. Seward had been employed with a retaining fee of two hun- dred and fity dollars. Mr. VAN SCHAICK—AIl right. That’s very good. When we have lawyers charging two and wree thousand dollars as retaining fees it 1s well to know what we are about. Mr. KLINGENFELT moved that the names of deal- ers whose affairs were tied up in the Gold Exchange Bank ve Logan irom the l'st of persons requested not to deai in the Exchange. The Vice PRESIDENT (Mr. Hoyt) said he thought the members did not understand what they were doing. How did they propose to get the list of names re- ferred to? ‘The SECRETARY (Mr. Akers) stated that he had no means of determining the financial status of gentle- men dealing in the Exchange, and the only proper way to carry ont the wisbes of the boara 1n that par- ticular was for the members to instruct their execu- tive officer, whose commands he (the secretary) could execute, He could not carry out the desires of the members as expressed in the motion just adopted without definite instructions, Mr. GRINNELL moved that @ committee be ap- pointed to judge of the standing of members, Some of the parties referred to were already well known, and had hundreds of thousands of dollars involved in. their unsettled contracts, Mr. KEPLER said there were some delicate points arising out of this question, which might involve the President and Secretary of the Board in dim- culty. He would move that simply a notice be posted near the door of the Gold Room, requesting all par- tles who nad not settled their contracts to refrain from trading in the Exchange. As to the “point of honor,” that was unnecessary, as no member of honor whose affairs were unsettled would continue to deal in the board. Mr. Kepler’s motion was adopted and the execu- tive session adjourned. The motion of Mr. Kepier is a substitute for thatof Mr. Van Schaick, wuich authorized the posting of names on te bulletin, Application for the Dissolution of an Injunc- tion to Restrain Dater & Timpson from Paying to Smith, Gould, Martin & Co, 842,000. Yesterday the case of Thomes Denny, Jr., against Hiram R. Dater and others came up in the Cham- bers of the Supreme Court, before Judge Cardozo, on & motion to dissolve an injunction granted by Judge Sutherland restraining the firm of Dater & Timpson from paying over to Smith, Gould, Martin & Co, the sum of $42,000. The injunction was based on the complaint alleging that the plaintim@ had bor- rowed from the firm of Dater & Timpson, on the 234 of September, 1869, $350,000 in gold, and in accord- ance with the usual course of dealing among brokers he deposited with them $600,000 in currency; that on the 24th of September Dater & | ‘Timp- son demanded that tue margin, or deposit, should be made up to the rate of 160 of gold, alleging that the market rate had suddenly auvanced to that Hgure, and that it would gq much higher before night; that they also represented that they were acting for one W. 8, Woodward, and that he would setuie with the plaintiff by allowing lim to take the gold at 165, which was less than the alleged market price; that plaintaf, ee that Dater & Timp- son were acting for Woodward, and that their siatement as to the market price of gold was true, paid to him the sum of $42,000; and plaintuf further claims that the statement of Dater & Timpson Was untrue, and that the bona fide price of gold was not 160; that the apparent price was a mere speculative rate got uw by the contriv- ance of Smith, Gould, Martin & Co, who now cialm to be the prmetpals in the trans- action, and not Woodward, and that the apparent market price was the result of an illegitimate and illegal combination fostered and abetted by bids made atthe Gold Board by the a of Smith, Goula, Martin & Oo,, at the rate of 155, and, perhaps, for Baolimifed amounts for the mere purpose of Making | ' an apparent price that would enable them to effect settlement in transactions similar to those at fictl- ‘ous rates; and that the bids or sales on which this apparent price was made were not carried out, but were repudiated by Smith, Gould, Martin & Co. ‘The motion to dissolve was made on the original Papers on which the injunction was granted, without the introduction of any new matter.

New Yor, Oct. 7, 1869, To THe Epirok or THe HERALD:— In your report of the meeting of the American Jockey Club in this day’s tssue you propound the question, “Is not Mr. Elwes a professional jockey, or has he not been?” In answer I would state that it has always been understood tn England, as well a8 in the United States, that a professional jockey im one who receives pay for his services. I have ridden horses for different owners in this and other countries, and [ challeage any man to say thatl bave ever claimed or accepted any remuneration for such services; therefore I cannot understand the animus that has prompted the above question, except It arises from the fact that I have ridden in races where professionals were engaged, I to say that in England, France and all over the Conti- nent gentlemen meet professionals constantly with out thereby in the slightest degree forfeiting their claim to be considered gentiemen riders.
