The Cuban Question in Congress---Mem- bers Favoring Immediate Recognition. Ben Butler’s Policy---Material Aid aud Sympathy. Unpromising Look of Finan- cial Matters. Boyd-Mosby Duel---The Confederate Raider Spoiling for a ight. Another Great Earthquake in St. Thomas. The WASHINGTON, Oct. LO, 180%. ‘The Cuban Question. Leaving out Sumner, who ts committed to the do- nothing policy in regard to Cuba, and who believes that all that can reasonably be expected of us is simply to give the struggling patriots our barren sympathy, nearly every momber of the national legislature who has visited this city lately ia in favor of a bold and decided policy in regard to the Ever Faithful Island, Indeed, I have not seen a Senator or member who does not go in for imme- diate recognition. There seems to be a very re- markable unanimity of opinion that the Cubans have been struggling unaided long enough; that they have nobly malntained themselves agatnst every aificulty, and have established a claim to our active sympathy and support that should not be overlooked. From this I conclude that if Preaident Grant and Secretary Fish allow the Cuban question to drag along in the same old fogy style as heretofore until the meeting of Congress cer- tain prominent leaders in that body will take it out of the hands of the Executive and by decisive legis- lation compel the government to throw the weight of ita influence tn favor of the Cubans, The exact modus operandi of this proposed legislative interpo- sition is not yet explained, but it is generally agreed that such a result must bo compassed in some way. One party favors a repeal of the neutrality laws, while another holds 1i¢ will be gufficient for the two houses to pass a resolution urging the Executive to grant betligerent rights and recognition to the Cubans, [tis believed that such a resolution would not be disregarded by the President, however much some of his Cabinet might oppose it. One vhing is particularly certain, Ben Butler will not allow the question to slumber. He ts completely disgusted with the procrastination of the Executive, and will agitate the matter in that vigor- ous style for whicn he 1s 80 famous. Ben has a hun- dred liveiy ideas with which he intends to galvanize Congress, and one of those ideas takes in the Ouban question, He will slash at tt, right and leit, until the government is obliged to knuckle down to the Essex piattorm of sympathy and material atd co the Cubans. What Will Be Done With the South, There are Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to be isposed of. The popular verdict, it will be said, ought to be decisive in each of those States, Con- gress ought to bow to the will of the sovercign people of cach of those States, and let them 1n, whether democrats or republicans carry the day. And this in ail probability will be done. If the Legislatures of those States are wise and select unobjectionable mon to represent them as Senators and members the chances are there will be no serious obstacles to the restoration of the three States to their old relations to the Union. But should @ contrary policy prevail the same old dis- cussions about loyalty and treason may be expected over again, and a fall restorauon of the old Union may be postponed a year longer. Everything, there- lore, depends upon the selgction of Representatives and Senators and the adoption of the fifteenth ameudment, Some members, it is true, threaten to investigate the detalia of the several elections, with aview to ferreting out frauds and intimidations; but such @ movement can eusliy be smothered if wisdom, prudence and moderation are displayed by the States in the choice of national Representatives, A member of Congress who was here yesterday remarked that the action of Tennessee migit controt the destinies of other Southern States as regards re- admission. If Tennessee betaved weil he thought it would put Congreas in good humor with the rest of the South, aad peace and harmony would prevail. Butif not, why then no one could tell how much and how long the sickening reconstruction problem might remain unsolved, The Boyd-Mosby Duel=Evasive Condact of Colonel Boyd—Tart Letter from Mosby. The duel between Colonel Boyd and Colonel Mosby has uot yet taken place. A long and spicy correspondence has taken place between the parties, but it appeara Boyd is not eager for the fray, The lust letter from Mosby 13 as follows:— WAXRENTON, Oot, 3, 1869, Sir—Your note of the 2d is evasive. If L omitted your offensive language it was because I desired no expianation or apology. My object las been to test whether you would ‘ight a3 a gentleman, and to remove all pretext for further equivocation I now quote your objectionable language. You said that you “could prove in Pennsylvania that! was a high- way robber.” I now demand satisfaction, not explanation or eqatyocation, Will you fight? Colonel Smith has full authority to act. Respect- fully, your obedient servant, JOHN 5, MOSBY. ‘To Colonel W, H. Boyn. Corbin and the Gold Ring. Abel R. Corbin bas attracted a good deal of atten- tion here lately in consequence of his alleged com- plicity with Fisk, Gould & Co. in the recent gold balling operations of Wali street. Corbin is well known here, and, I must add in simple trutn, not very favorably. Many old residents remember dis- tinctly hia mancouvres in 1857 and 1853, as well as prior to those years, as well as a skilful agent of certain Massachusetts and New York interests; how his conduct was investigated and fally exposed, and the singular coolness and sang srota which he displayed tn relating before Ben Stanton’s committee the detatls of his own shamerul proceedings. But whatever is thought of Corbin, past or present, it 18 certain that no fair minded man here entertains for a moment the belief that President Grant was a guilty ty to the gigantic conspiracy of Fisk and his confréres, ‘The President is placed in a very trying position by the recent scandals, but bears himself with great dignity and moderation, considering the strong provo- cations which have been given him to act otherwise. No one could blame him if he aia show some warm fecling and give vent to an occasional burst of mdignant denunciation. But he takes hia trials with as much composure as ever he showed on the battle fleld when beset by diment- tes and dangers, and no one has heard him retaliate with bitterness upon his traducers, The partisan newspapers which daily attack him as a co-conspira- tor of Fisk are severely condemned by all right minded men, The idea of any President, and parti- cularly one with the strong common sense of Grant, lending himself to such a conspiracy ts too absurd to be entertained for 4 moment by any but the moat bigoted and partisan. The Cherokee Land Troablos in Kausas— Letter from General Hazen. Brevet Major Gonerat W. B. Hazen, in a letter, dated at Hiram, Ohio, October 4, and addressed to the Associated Press, Washington, saya:— T notice in the special Washington despatcnes of Octover 2, published in the West, the following: un CHRROKER SRITLENA.—Statements from poraona wall known here, and regarded perfectly reliable, have been received concerning the reported outrages by settlers, on the Cherokeo neutral lands, circulated against setters are in ® great part minuufactured in the interest of railroad and land companies, The foregoing is false in every ryarticular and should be corrected, bahay Sgaged tn these outrages have from the first tM geniously denied these charges against them in suc) a way as to pre- vent, If possible, any inquiry ipo the matter by the overnmont.

There really seems to be a Probability that this onerous burden will be removed from the backa of the people, and that a Weasure will be devised whereby the revenue hitherto derived from that source may be gathered in some otier way not go distasteful to the private citizen. Talking About National Affairs. ‘Though still pearly two months before the moet- ing of Congress, poople here are beginning to talk about what will be done next seasion regarding the Principat sudjects now occupying the public mind. Theso are the Cuban, reconstruction, taruiY and financial questions, all of which must come up for discussion next session, and be settled some way or other, for the country {8 thoroughly sick of waiting for their solution and demands that no farther delay take place in disposing of them, if not finally, at least for a respectable period. From Senators and members dropping in here now almost daily on private or public business, it 13 not easy to gather what course will be taken, Another Great Earthquake in St. Thomas. A letter bas been received in this city stating that on the 17th of September the Island of St. Thomas was visited by an earthquake, which occurred at ten minutes before three o'clock P. M., which shook the city of St, Thomas tots foundations. The shocks were 80 severe as to materially injure many of the buildings, shattering the walls of the Spanish and Union hotels and other large structure, which caused @ general panic among the inhabitants and the entire suspension of business, The day had been exces- sively hot, without the slightest breeze, the ,ther- mometer indicating ninety-two degress, the barome- ter thirty degrees, indicating fair weather. In the interval between the first shock and eleven o'clock P.M, nine distinct shocks occurred, producing wide- spread terror and dismay. The writer concludes by saying:—“l had experienced many severe shocks, but nothing to compare with those of yesterday. There nas been nothing like it since the great earth- quake of 1867.” The Whiskey Seizures at San Francisco. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue received yesterday a number of gentlemen representing the commercial and shipping interests of New York and San Francisco, who waited upon him for the pur- pose of protesting against the recent indiscriminate selaures of whiskey at San Francisco by the local internal revenue officers at that place. Mr. Delano, appreciating the importance of the subject pre- sented to him as affecting the commercial interests of the two great markets of the Pacific and Atlantic seaboard, unlesitatingly assentod to a full investiga- tion on the part of himself and the solicitor of the bureau as soon as the solicitor, W. H. Smith, shalt return from Ohio. Tae owners of the whiskey now under seizure at San Francisco seem to be confident of their ability to prove that they have complied with all the require- ments of law, and attribute its seizure to a misappreliension of the recent instructtons of the Commissioner by the mternal revenue ofMicer at that piace. The officers at San Francisco, in their recent reports, claim to have established by an aualysis the presence of sugar and coloring matter in the whiskoy seized, and therefore it is not the pure Bourbon pro- duction of Kentucky as represented, but ts fraud whiskey and liable to forfeiture. If such an opinion is sustained the gentlemen who called upon the Com- missioner yesterday claim thot uo whiskey in any warehouse in the couutry is exempt from seizure, and that, therefore, not a little excitement may be produced among the revenue officers and whiskey men in the principal markets like Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati and boston. As the seizures already made at San Francisoo aggregate a value of about $1,000,000, and may continue to the preven- tion of ali shipments to that port, the subject assumes @ commercial Importance to the country, ERO ALEN INTELLIGENDE, YounG Tuinves.—Peter McGione, John McClure, Martin Clunan, Bernard McNary, John Coyle, John Thompson and James McBride—boys from ten to twelve years of age—were arrested and locked up on Saturday night for stealing a number of chickens from a farm wagon at James Street Market. Tus RopseRy or CuAUNCKY ScHAFFER.—M, M.§C. Patten, @ bookkeeper, was arrested by oficer Dunn, of the Forty-second precinct, at three o'clock yester- day morning, on the complamt of Counsellor Chauncey Schaffer, who accuses him of robbins of $878 1h money, and a gold watch valued at $200, while riding with him in a coach in Fulton street, Brooklyn. ‘The property was not recovered. ASSAULT ON AN OFrFICER.—OMlcer Dobbins, of the Forty-third precinct, was assaulted yesterday by four rowdies while attempting to take Michael Marphy to the station house, on a charge of drunken- ness and disorderly conduct. James Brady, one of the assailants, struck the ofilcer on the head with a paving stone and nearly Kuocked him senseless. ‘The officer recetved assistance, and both Murphy and Brady were arrested and locked up to answer. PROBABLE HOUMIVIDE IN BROOKLYN. Intoxicated Man Shot by an Oficer While Attempting to Make His Escapo. Shortly before tweive o'clock on Saturday night officer Join Burke, of the Forty-second precinct, arrested a laborer, named John Dougherty, in a lager boer saloon at No. 50 Fulton street, for drunk- enness and disorderly conduct. The man was not so drunk but what he could take care of himself, but he was very disorderly; so much 50 that the officer was perfectly justified in taking him into custoay, ‘The pair started in the direction of the station house, but they had only proceeded a short distance when the accused tripped the officer, who consequently lost his bold, and the prisoner then endeavored to lace as wide @ distance a8 Pt! between and the officer. The latter was unable to overtake him, and as he would not stop when called to tue officer drew his revolver and fired two shots merely for the purpose of fright- eving him. Dougherty had just liquor enou; him to make himself indifferent to pistol shots and he kept on his way. Fortunately there were not as many pedestrians on the streets as there were some two hours earlier, or the random shots might have lodged in the body of some persons who might per- chance have been passing tnat way. The chase was continued through Fulton to rront street, and the ofMicer fearing that he might lose his prisoner, and seeing him about to enter the doorway at No, 120 Au Front street, fired a third shot at him, The ball entered Dougherty’s back just under the left shoulder, and he dropped. He was them removed to the Forty-second precinct station house, in York street, and Police Surgeon Cochrane was summoned. The wound was of such a charac- ter that he found it tmpossible to render the in- jured man any assistance there and. he ordered his removal to the City Hospital. The wound was robed by the surgeons at the hospital, but the Batt could not be found. It 1s said that the wound will in all probability | eage fatal, The law says that an officer has no right to discharge a pistol at an escaping prisoner uniess he be a felon. ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE DALZELL DIVORCE CASE. On Monday last oMcer McLaughlin, of the District Attorney's ofice, proceeded to Mitdietown, Urange county, Y., inseareh of John Holt, alleged to be implicated in procuring the divorce in the case of Daizell vs. Dalzell, and subsequently stealing the judgment rok from the omce of the County Clerk, It will be remembered that William Fisher, a lawyer in New York, was arrested ona charge of having caused the roil to be stolen. He was the counsel for Mr. Dalzell in tho divorce case, and, as alleged, procured the divorce upon tie testimony of a perjured witness, Fearing that the traud would be discovered he, as alleged, employed Holt, his clerk, to steal the judgment roll. After looking about for some time the oMcer found that ting @ decoy letter tn the office he succeeded in catching him. The accused was brought to Brook- lyn and locked up to answer, Boston SHOB AND LEATHER MARKET.—The boot | and shoe market is quiet, with the seasonable trade from Grst hands graduaily drawing to a close. ‘Phis trade, thus far, has been very prosperous, and the amount of goods distributed nas not only been much larger than for the corresponding time last year, but has considerably exceeded the expecta tions of dealers and roauufacturera, The leather market continues very dull, with boot and shoo manufaturers curtailing thoir operations and wark- ing Wew stocks very close up.

He made a brief stay at the Astor House, but long enough to discover that a large number of people are at all {umes anxious to make or renew his acquaintance. The reporter of the HeRALD paid the General a visit in his parlor at che Astor House, and found him im the plenitude of health and spirits, ready as ever to talk on any subject under beaven, and only restrained by want of time and pressure of engage- ments. Inanswer to the question as to whether Congress would be likely to attempt any legislation looking to the preveniion of gambiing in gold, he replied:— “1 think not, Thad Stevens, you remember, brought in @ bill of that kind during the war, aod in a speech of great force and persuasion carried the convic- tons of a majority of the House with him on the point of regulating the price ana the sale of gold by law, and with very little debate the bill passed, The fluctuations of gold were then new and startling. ‘There was much talk of gold rings and cliquos, of reckless gambling in Wall street and all that, and people, without due reflection, considered that a legislative enactment would put a stop to the whole thing. There waa the mistake. In place of giving regularity to the market tt threw it into violent spasms and gold jumped without meaning and method. Natural causes, produced by the war and all its attendant influences on the markets of the oountry, acted on the standard of values as has always been the case. The meddling of Congress made matters worse, and by the earnest protest of the mercantile com- munity the law was soon after repealed. A similar statate, after such an experience, will never be ventured again; for the more laws you Pass the greater will the chances be for such daring speculators as the men who bulled the market here some days ago, Congress cannot prevent this specu- lation, and the more you hedge in gold by legis- lation the higher will become its speculative vaiue, ‘That Wall street clique had really very littie gold to Operate with, though It ia stated contracts were made for hundreds of millions. You saw how easily four millions of government gold brought down the price and returned the market to its normal con- ditton.”” “What remedy would you suggest, General, to pre- vent the recurrence of such @ pa nic as we had ?”’ The remedy lies in making greenbacks the stand- ard of values, and making gold an article of merchan- dise, the same as wheat, corn or cotton. Government could appreciate the value of greonbacks and bring us nearer to a specie basis by recognizing its papar m the payment of Custom House duties in this man- ner to begin with. If the amount of gold realized from duues be $180,000,000 and the inverest on the dene $120,000,000, a surplus of $60,000,000 will be left. Now, if government would take say fifteen per cent of this amount in green»acks in place of gold, it would still have an ample amount of specie to iheet the interest payments, aud would at the same wme be taking a sure and sunpie step towards giving the currency @ stability and measure of value which it does not hold at present. Gold as it is unseties values. We cali it the standard, but do you tnd prices regulated according to its figure? On the con- trary, prices were never 80 arbitrary and capricious, Take wheat as the standard of value; will 1 not be more reliable? Make merchandiso of goid, and you place it in a sphere where speculation is disarmed of its power to disturb monetary values, A little such legislation as I recommended last winter would have placed our financial affairs on a better basis than they are now; not that I claim particular credit, but it ts easy for any one to see from past experience that the inconsistency and ilogical practice of the government recognizing greebacks lor one purpose and not for another has proved of serious detrimeat to the success of a well meant financial policy.” “It may be expecied that when Congress assem- bles you will recommend & change ?”” “Uean’t say that. Lam not the ohairman of the Ways and Means. That committee will no doubt propose some brilliant experiment after Its festive summer experience arouud the country.” “What a delightial time they must have bad, General?” Here the General's expression of countenance changed and a gleam of. savage joy seemed to shoot from iis eye at the prospect of Overhauling in the House of Representatives the junketing tour of the Ways and Means, with Schenck, lis mplacabie foe, at the head ot it. “L haven't been to California,” he observed, “but the Ways and Means have, They could tell you a good deal about gold and about a very nice wine called golden wedding. They are good judges of it was my k not to be on the committee, but it will be pleasant anyhow to hear thei tell their experience down in Washington. Belog a gay party they, must have had much fun.’ “But, don’t you think the government misht well afford to give the hard worked Ways and Means a litle recreation ¢"" “Exactly. 1am better pleased that their summer excursion Was paid for by the goverament taun that they should accept an invitation from rat'road and other corporations, The raiiroads would look for some sort of kindly return, and everybody that did them a service would be coming to W: z get so.ne equivalent in exchange. It is cheaper for the government in the ead. Of course they will fur+ nish us with a very mteresting nurrative Dext win- ter, When the days are dull, It will make splendid fireside reading, aud cheap at that.” “You will listen in humble silence, TI suppose {’? “Well, perhaps, but it ia better to watt. “What do you think, General, Of this story about President Grant and Secretary Boutwell betvg mixed up in the late gold speculation?” “As to Mr. Boutweli, [don't believe a word of it. Ihave known him for twenty-five years, and have always considered him an honest, siralgutforward man. I am not the least inclined to change my opinion of him now; and in regard to General Grant, tue story 1s just as false. The fact ia the whole of this slander was fabricated and set afloat in the in- terests of the democratic party. It bas a political significance easy to read. We are on tie eve of elections in the two great States of Pennsyivania and Otto, and this story 18 circulated to prejudice and break dowa the character of the adiminisiration. ‘They are using it now on every stump in Ol.o and Pennsylvania.” at, General, these gold speculators, such as Fisk and Gould, don't care a button for politics.’ “thats true; but if the secret was known you would find that right behind them and in with them were democrats of intluence aud wealth, who seized tne opportunity to turn it to political account and made use of Fisk and Gould for the purpose—men Who were prepared to throw out any insinuations against the government for being bauiked in their gold speculation, Wait and you will iind that lam correct. Make tt appear, even so vaguely, that Grant and Boutwell were in with the gold swindiers, ana you stagger the prospects of the are, that supports them, What earthly good could it do this Fiak or Gould to labor to that end? If they lost money tt would not bring it back; if they made any they ought to be thankful. But Tammany Hall could be served, and there are men in that concern capabie of any baseness that would help their tnterests, it is alla party dodge, which it appears very sirauge to me the papers are unanle to see,’ “What do you think of Corbin’s connection with the ring?” “[ know nothing about him, If he be a brother- in-law of General Grant it does not follow that he directs the aflairs of the Treasury. He no doubt got entangied with the otber speculators and pretended he had an influence which he hadn't. He suffered, I suppose, and the others are down on him now for making representations which were not afterwards sustained, “minded man, it is to be pre- sumed, with just enough cunning to extract some loose information, in a roundabout way, from ve President, who was unconscious of the object, and thus he led the ring and mmseif into loss and mais. chief. Sucn people deserve to suffer more than the pecuniary disaster they entail ou themselves and others.”? Here we left the General to prosecute his engage- meats, 2 “WOAKING ON THE CANAL.

How He Managed Members of Cougress+ In the report of the Select Committee of the Tlouae of Representatives, of which Hon. B, Stasitoa was chairman, appoimted to inquire tnto the expenditure of money for the purpose of influenc- ing the passage of the tariff of 1867 by the Thirty- fourth Congress, we find the following in retatton to Mr, A. R. Corbin, who has figured so conaptouously in the recent gold ring:— 7 The committee reported the following sums aa having been paia:— Thurlow Weed. . pes eeres os seeneseseee D.

Corbin. .. gratification that the proofs show no member of tite House to have been connected with this expendi- ture of money, they regret that they are under the necessity of saying that it shows that $1,000 was paid to Mr. R. Corbia, who was then clerk of the Committee on Ciaims of this House, Mr. Corbin's tesumony, however; leaves no room to doubt that the sum was patd to him for hts advice and assistance, and for the advantage which bis official position gave him of ready access to mem- bers of the House. Although the leading, prominent facts: disclosed by his evidence do not bear very directiy apon the inquiry with which the committee is charged, yet they exhibit the influences which have been brougis to bear upon legislation for some years past, Although the committee are not disposed to give Mr. Corbin all the creait which he ciatms for com trolling the legistation of Congress on tke most important measures of legislation affecting the rev- enue and finances of the couatry for toe last tem years, they have no doubt but that he has exercea imaelf to the exteut of hia ability for the success of the schomes which he has advocated, and that he has been liberally paid for hia services, His testimony shows how the logislation of the country may be influenced by large massea of capi- tal concentrated in the hands of a few persona hay- ing acommon interest so as to benefit that interest at the expense of the great mass of the people. It also shows how capitalists may be fleoced by parties who pretend to be able to exert an induence over legislation, of which they are wholly destitute. When Mr. Corbin 18 compelied to choose whether he will admit that he has received and paid out large sums of money for the purpose of corrupuy influencing the legisiation of Congress, or has falsely represented himself as having done so, for the pur- pose of obtaining money from persona interested in measures pending before Congress, he chooses the latter horn of the dilemma. The committee produced a letter from Mr. Cor- bin to Samuel Lawrence, of which the following ms the conctuding portion:— I want authority, and without delay, to plelge the payment of irom $15,000 to $25,000 m cash the moment the bill making wool and dyes auty free bas been signed by the President; of course, { mean in addition to the $25,000 heretofore agreed upon. 1 really believe we can pass the bill without this additional expenditure, but it ts, in my opinion, the part of ordinary prudence to make the outlay, and thus multiply the chances of the success of mea- sure so important. In case you agree with me as to the prudence of this precautionary outlay I woula suggest two things:—First, do not delay; second, to go at once to lead ne parties and say, $50,900 ux cash hay been pledged on a solitary condition, and that is, pay in the event of success and the moment the Freatdent sigas it, aud no pay in the event of iefeat. in advance man will bearthe load. After [have won for you that which shall enrich New ngiand, and shall have been paid therefore, it would mar the satisfaction of myself and numerous employés if we shall afterwards iearn that two or three of the more liveral bad to pay for all. In the commencement £ told you taat it was to your interest to aru ine thoroughly; not less taan $59,000, though i would try With $25,000, So say I now. Perhaps now that you see tiat all I had the honor ‘vo tell you and your talented brother last November has been realized most exactly, you will take my opinion on this occasion to its fullest extent, especially as defeat will cost you not a dollar. When allowed my owu plans aud money I never failed to achieve success, 1s nol success Worth paying tem times $50,000? My plau of operations with men £ prefer uot to detatl; can do no good to anybody.
