None can wrest from Prim ‘the sword, which 1s the real sceptre of Spain. Prim sees this and resolves that no king shall pre- side over Spain but one of his own making or under his influence, and above al! no Montpensier, whom he has always opposed. It is not easy or hardly de- @irable to break through the arrangement which Places in Prim’s hands the virtual sovereignty, If Prim ts disposed to make good use of his victory let bim introduce, not improvident clemency or tnordl- nate liberty, but true order, based on legality.

This was removed by order of the Collector and the connect {ng links of the engine severed. Captain Higgins put into port solely under distress, Toe steamer Frolic, which was sent from New York, was under orders to prevent the cruise of tho Hornet at all hazards, even to the sinking of her. The Frolic 1s now at Wilmington, and will remain there to render the authorities any assistance that may be necessary until the case is fully decided, The revenue cutter McCulloch ig also at Wilmington, having been sent thither from Savannah, it is not supposed that Captain Higgins will be held for trial, as he assumed command on the high seas and after the Hornet had received her armament and ammunition, but that the paymaster will be the only one tried for the treason. He was recognized by the oficers of the party who captured him as having been engaged in carrying arms out of a Northern port.

The interest in the Senatorial ciection is increas- ing. The city is full of candidatea and their friends and admirers. The bustest eiectioneerer in the field is young Douglas, the private secretary of the President, who is strongly preasing the claims of General Williams, his stepfather.

There seems to be somo mystification about tho visit ot M, Friguet to this country and the alleged otfer by him, a5 au agent of the Rothschilds, of a proposition to our government to ioan an amount of mouey equal to the public debt. So many state- ments and counter statements have been mado about it that your correspondent called upon the President to-day, with the letter purporting to have been writen by M. Friguet, in which the paragraph occurs that appeared in these despatches last Satur- day. Upon having his attention called to tho matter the President shook his head, smiled and sald he had held no corresponaence with M. Friguet on the subject. He did not remem- ber to bave met hii; if ne had, and anything was said about the loan, tt must have been in a general way. He waa not aware of any special proposition having deen made; if there was anything of that kind going on the Secretary of the Treasury would know about tt. Your correspondent showed the President M.

Reunion Dinner at D moulco’s—Specches by Mayor Hall and Others, The citizens of the metropolis remember with undying gratitude the self-sacrifice and devotion of the men who, without promise or hope of reward, rushed to scenes of danger and risked their lives In defence of the lives and property or others in days gone by. ‘The veteran volunteer tire- men, whose deeds of generosity and daring are emblazoned on no pages of general lustory, quoted in the HERALD's despatches. The letter was written in French, however, and the President made no effort to read tt, but seemed satisied with the Hkavv’s translation. Notwithstanding the President's statement it 1s a fact that M. Friguet was here, that he mingied with prominent government oficials and that he was accompanied by Count Fouche de Carell, a member of the French House of Deputies, with whom he left on Saturday for France. The whole affair is mys- tertous, While it may be true that no correspond- ence has taken place between the President and M. Friguet there is the best of reason to believe that there is some proposition of the kind alluded to before the government, though the exact nature of 1t caunot now be explained. New Design for Postage Stamps. A few weeks ago it was stated in the HERALD that another attempt was to be made to give us a respect- able and intelligible postage stamp, The present miserable experiments in blue, with a meaningless have just ended, and the result has been the nomi- nation of Lieutenant Governor John F, Lewis, of Rockingbam, and John W. Jonnston, of Abingdon. There was @ warm contest over the first candidate voted for, and several ballots were had, on the last of which Lewis received fifty-seven and Judge Pendleton fifty-two. Lewis was then declared unant- mously nominated. On the vote for the second Senator there were four candidates, to wit, W. Johnston, Edmund Pendleton, R. L. Owen and Joseph Segar. Johnston was nominated on the first ballot, the vote being Johnston, 60; Pendleton, 31; Owen, 10; Scgar, 5 Jolnston’s nomination was made unanimous. The nominations give gencra! satisfaction, as one \s from the north side and the other from the south, aud are a happy compromise of the extreme of both factions of the Walker party—the progressives and ; the Bourbons. Judge J. W. Johnston is a cousin of General Joseph E. Johnston, and has never been in political life previous to his appoint- ment to a judgestip which he now holds by appointment of Generai Canby. Congress two years ago removed his political disabilities, and he will, therefore, not be required to take the test oath. These nominations, without the shadow of doubt, will be confirmed by vote of the Legislature to-mor- row, and that body will then adjourn until the State ts admitted. The caucus of the Wells republican members to- night nominated for United States Senator L. IH. Chandler, late United States District Attorney of Virginia, and Dr. Alexander Sharpe, at present Marsnal of the District of Columbia, The caucus ‘also appointed a committee to carry to Washington the protest recentiy adopted by the republican members of the Legisiature against the legality of that body, ' ILLINOIS, Admiral Farragut Improving—Recovery of Stolen Bonds.

It may not be generally under- stood that the photographers can take exact copies of any stamps containing but one color, put when there are several colors to be copied their art fails, Hence the great value of the proposed new stamp, with Its vari-cojored bordera, I have seen several specimens of photographed postage stamps at pres- ent in use, and they were so porfect as to defy detection. The Supreme Counct. The Supreme Court did not to-day, contrary to but Ive solely in local records and find warm places in the hearts of tnose who knew them, determined to have a reunion, and such a one as would renew the pleasant memories of the days and nights spent in their labor of love. When 1% was noised abroad that such @ thing was in contempiation there were not wanting men to take pats in the proposed festivities or furnu o make it tn every respect a grand succt reunion camo off last evening at Deimonico’s, Four- teenth street, and it is but simple justice to say that the most sanguine expectations of the “veteran vamps"’ were fully realized. The assembiage was large in numbers and emblematic in detail of the advancement and prosperity of the metropolis. Tie jovial and jocose ex-Aiderman McGinnis oificiated as president.

Muller, while at the other end of the same table sod a perfect working model of the old ‘goose neck, piano box” hand engine, the hose reel covered with aleathern guard, on which was emblazoned the title “Paward D. Bassiord—Exempt.”’ On taking their soats the company were treated w a few very brief remarks by Mr. McGinnis, complt- menting the gentlemen present and assuring them that the city of New York had reason to this day to be proud of the ‘‘volunteers."’ All present at the word of command showed that hey Knew how to “take up” their knives and forks and ‘fall in’' to the good things spread betore thom, They were not long in “getting under way,” and tue viands were made to “spin” witle a constant “fire”? of joke and repartee enlivened the scene. Although there was a perfect ‘‘conflagration” — of wit, yet nothing ‘‘flend’’-isn was done, and the only sensations that were made were entirely of pleasurable enjoyment. When the “vamps” and their guests had managed to get the bill of fare “weil under,’ the president called for order and then briefly stated the origin and gradual rowth of the department for the extinguishing of res, At tho conciusion of his addcess he announced as the first regular toast of the evening, “The City of New York,” and called on Mayor Hall to respond. Mayor HALL, on rising, was received with round after round of applause and a good hearty ‘old New York flremen’s three cheers and tiger."".

The McKee Cotton e—Decision for the Government—Dean vs, The Mayor, &c., of Memphis—Decree of the Circuit Court Re. versed. couRT. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 1869. No. 111—John H. McKee vs, The United States.—This was a claim for cotton and other property captured at Alexandria, La., by the naval force under Admiral Porter engaged in tne Red River expedition tn the spring of 1864. The Claimant was a@ citizen and resident of New Orleans, who traded beyond the lines, under the permit of a Treasury agent and vy virtue of @ license of the military authorities then In possession of the country. The cotton, &c., were purchased from a Mr. McKee, @ distant relative of the claimant, and an agent of the rebel Treasury Department for the purchase and sale of cotton. The cause was argued early in the present session and was now decided, Mr. Jefferson Davis reading the opinion of the Court. The decision below against the plaintiff is af_irmed, the Court holding that under the acta of Congress in operation at the time of the seizure any Treasury agent who issued a permit authorizing trade with the enemy beyond the miil- tary lings did so without warrant of law and the permit was void; that the duty of the military was wholly confined to the protection of persons trading under legal authority obtained from the proper department of the government, and a liceuse or permit obtained from that source to do auything unlawful conferred no authority whatever. It was also held that the whole transaction was void and the claimant had never had any title to the property in question, because ti had been purchased for an agent of the rebel government. The appeal came from the Circuit Court for the Southern district of Titinots. No. 155—Tho Mayor, &c., of the City of Memphis and the Memphis Gayoso (as Company vs. Thomp- son Dean.—This is an appeal from a decree of the Circuit Court for the district of West Tennessee, Dean, a citizen of the State of New York, filed his bill in the court to restrain the city of Memphis from subscribing to the capital stock of the Memphis Gayoso Gas Company and to enjoin the Istter com- pany from manufacturing or selling ee. in the city 8 of Memphis. He alieged that the Memphi Company, of which be was @ large 0c! holder, had neglected and refused to pro- ect its corporatora by instituting the proper legal procesatuge aud claimed the right to sue in tne | hame of the company for his own protection and the protection of the general interest. ‘The bill alleged that the city of Memphis had contracted with the complainant’s company to supply excinsively the Corporation withgas for twenty years, and had for a consideration granted the company the exclu- sive use of the streets lor the purpose of laying pipes, &c.; that in face of this contract it had by a resolution broposed to submit to the corporate vote the question of subscribing tor $260,000 of the capt- tal stock of the Gayoso Gas Company, @ rival com: pany, Whose successful operation would greatly yedace the value of the complainant's interest. The court below. rendered a decree in favor an tujanction to the fuli extent prayed for. The canse was the irst argued at the present session of the court and was now decided. Mr. Justice Netson deiivered the opinion, ‘The deores of the Circuit Court ts reversed, the Court hoiding, frat, that ander the rules of the Memphis Gas Company, which bound the com- yiainant the same as other corporators, the com. plainant was estopped from suing in the name of the company, and be therefore had no standing in court, On the merit it ts held that there nothing in the contract between che city of Memphis and the couiplainant’s company that is fu the least | violated by the subscription to the stock of the Gayoso Company; that ail that the complainants company can claim of the city of Memphis ta that the city shail use the gag of that company for the term of years and price Agreed upon; that tho laying of Fee to them as a New York boy. (Applause.) Huis Honor then went on to deliver one of his character- istic, cheerful and cheering speeches, wittily ailuding to the chairman, for undoubted reasons, which he gave, a3 “Sic semper Magnus," and assuring the cumpany, on behalf of the y ot New York, that he could tind no words to express hia ideas tn regard to the city of New York better than those applied by Byron, in his *Chiide Harold," to Venice:. Tloved her from my boyhood ; ahe, to me, Was ana fairy city of the heart. Of joy the sojourn and of wealth the mart. Mayor Halt then facetiously described the acci- dent of his birth and his early though limited dre experience. He said while they had met to talk over New York of the past, to enjoy the New York of tho present, he loved to think of the New York of the future, and he hoped to live to see New York city the metropolis of the whole world. He showed forcibly why such should be the case from the natural position of the city and the enterprise of her citizeng, eGh2i-5 Pe wear ae eG blaigs ee At the conclasion of his address he was saluted with loud and ed continued applause.

STRAKE ON THE ERiE RAILWAY, Yesterday afternoon an extensive strike was ro- ported at the various Erie Railway workshops located at Port Jervis, Susquehanna, Piermont and Jersey City, growing out of alleged trregularitics on the part of the company in making the monthly payments to the men. About the first of the present month delegations of workmen from the various shops waited on Mr. Fisk and explained their grievances, and were informed that tho matter was attributable to the diMculty experienced m getting the vast sums of currency required to make the payments, When money had been obtained the breaks in the road caused vy the freshets necessitated a delay, Meu were working day and night at the pay rolls, and preparing for the payment of the men. By the 15th all the men were paid except those at the Port Jervis shops, and they struck pending payment, and, in order to compel discipline on the road, tuey were ali per- emptorily discharged. This avtion of the company has created trouble, and the mechanics In the Susque- hanna, the Buffalo and the Jersey City shops sent an ultimatum supporting the strikers. Their demand Was not complied with and the Susquehanna men struck and afterwards the Jersey City men followed thetr example and refused to work until the dis- missed men were reinstated. A cov fict between the company and the workmen was the result. The company have insisted upon their order and the mechanics are equally determined in their resistance bo it, 7 In a letter dated yesterday Vice President J. Fisk, Jr., say: ‘The strikes in the maehine shops along the line of the Brie Ratiway are parely local and do. not in any way affect the running of the trains or the character of the road, The Strike in Bufiulo, BUFFALO, N. ¥., Oct. 18, 1869. ‘The employés of the Erie Rallway workshops in this city, 200 in all, struck for regular pay at nine o’clock this morning, Ata meeting held this afver- noon resolutions were adopted, stating their past grievances and determining to bold off unti such time as their object shall be accomplished and the employs at Port Jervis are reinstated, ARMY INTELLIGENCE.
