Secretary Boutwell Brands the Stories of Fisk and Gould as Falsehoods. General Butterfield’s Letters to the President and Seeretary of the Treasury. The Sub-Treasurer to Have an In- vestigation. WASHINGTON, October 23, 1869. The reported statements of Jay Gould, Fisk & Co., seeking to connect the President and his family with the recent disreputable gold gambling opera- tions in New York, furnish an apology for preparing & despatch from this point based upon official infor- mation. No one here believes that there 18 @ par- Ucle of truth in the bold statements of the gold con- spirators that the President nad any complicity direct or indirect in the transactions; but wheo mgenious and cunning statements are put forth with a clothing of circumstantiality well calculated to deceive the unthinking public elsewhere, if allowed to go uncontradicted, it would appear to be & proper occasion for careful inquiry in the proper quarters and for oficial dental if autaorized. View- ing the matter tn this light your correspondent to-day called upon the President of the United States for the purpose of calling his attention to the recent publications and obtaining a statement thereupon. President Grant was found seated at his desk in nis private office tranquilly engaged in perusing his letters and smoking that famous cigar. The mental observation of @ visitor on entering the executive chamber with such an object as your correspondent had in view might be summed up thus. Well, if the President is the man represented by Fisk and Gould he certainly looks as little like 1t as any man could possibly be. This mental observation was certatuly fully confirmed by the subsequent thierview and conversation. ‘The President on learning the object of your cor- respondent smiled pleasantly and proceeded to con- verse on the subject with the utmost freedom and frankness. There was not the slightest hesitation or effort at evasion, which undonbtedly would have been the cage had there been any consciousness that something injurious to mention ought to be reserved. The President pretty sweepingly denied all the statements of Gould and Fisk, except so far as they referred to his public expressions regarding the proposed financial policy of the Executive. All the assertions that he (the President) had been influ: enced by Mr. Corbin in deciding whether or not gold should or should not be sold he pronounced untrue, and remarked that though he had hada great deal of correspondence with mr. Corbin during the summer and subsequently, but he never intimated in any of his letters what he intended to do or what would be the financial policy of the government. Not a soul knew about his intentions, not even a member of his Cabinet, save Mr. Boutwell, to whom he con- veyed his wishes in private letters, Mr. Boutwell was absent from the national capital @ good part of the summer, so was the President himself, and sepa- rated from tne Secretary by hundreds of miles. ‘Therefore correspondence was the only way in which hecould communicate to the Secretary his views, He used this means (the only one practicable under the circumstances), Secretary Boutwell under- stood partly his intentions before separating from the Presi¢ent, and was to receive final instractions by letter. These nal instructions or views the President did communicate by letter, but allowed no one connected with Gould, Fisk or any person of the kind to learn their nature, From this you will see that all Gould's statements about Corbin’s being aware of the President's Inten- tions in regard to the sale of gold are groundless, and that Corbin, if indeed he ever did make such representations to the gold conspirators, did so knowing that he was uttering untruths, This is about the mildest way of summing up the thing. Jn regard to Fisk In particular your correspondent ig not aware that he is stating what he ought not to state in giving you the President’s opinion of the Prince of Erie. In the course of conversation your correspondent remarked upon the bold attempt of Mr. Fisk to obtain from the President advance information regarding the financial policy of the government. ‘The President's reply was substantially as follows: “{ don’t know but 1 should have felt imsulted by such @ proposal had it come from any other but a person like Fisk. But coming from a man so desti- tute of moral character 1 didn’t think 1t worth noticing.” So much for brother Fisk of Erte fame, ‘The Secretary of the Treasury had a fuller state- ment to make, aud more which can be given to the public, He said that what he knew about the mat- ter was principally of a negative character. He had seen various stacements In the papers professiug to come from Messrs. Fisk and Gould, out he paid hitte attention to them. As for Corbin, he believed him to be a Knave and a fool, and that he was used by Jim Fisk and Jay Gould to further their specniations, While the Presideut was at Mr. Corbin’s house, the Secretary thinks 1" is probabie that Corbin may have drawn him into coaversation on the subject of tne government sates of gold, aid it may be that on some occasion he may haye dropped a few words unwittingly which were maynitied, twisted and made the most of by Corvin to v nis specuia- tive interests, But that the ’restaent ov Mrs. Grant was in any way engaged in spe 1 gold or bonds or had any knowledge of tie combination formed to bull gold, the Secreiary thinks is utterly false. Mr. Boutwell thinks 1¢ possible that Corbin may have gone to Fisk and Gouid and represented to them certain things that the President nad said or was about to do, on the strength of the fact that Grant was a guest at Corbin’s house, He does not vhink, however, thatthe President should be held responsible for Corbin’s action in this respect, inas- much as he (the President) was not only innocent of having said anything for the comfort and encourage- ment of.the gold ring, but was ignorant of the con- nection of his brother-in-law tlerewith. From his first adyené in ofice, the Secretary says, the President has vvcen particulariy hostile to the Wallstreet speculations, and has at various times taken counse! asto Low they might be broug!t to grief. When Secretary Boutweill sar the statem ent of “ir. Frederick A, Lane, couusel for Jay Gould, wiih reference to Assistant Tvcasurer Butterieid, he thought tt was his duty to call General butterseu's attention ofticiaily to it, It 1s proper to state here that the Secretary at this time had no suspiciors of General Butterfield hav.ng been engaged in any speculations or improper transactions, Jle thought, however, that the credit of the department demanded that some no should be taken of a letter proposing to give @ cir cumstantial account of these alleged transactions, especially as that letter appeared over the signature of @ man Whose name was unknown to him and who might be a person of standing and repute, He, therefore, addressed a letter to General Butterticid, calling his attention to the matter and requesting au explanation if there was any to be made, After the receipt of Secretary Boutweli’s ncte General Butterfeid wrote the following letters, one to the President and the other to the Secretary of the Treasury :— GENERAL BUTTERFIELD'S Lanree TO THE PRESI- UxITED. STATES TREASURY, | New YorK, Oct. 22, 1860. § To the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED Staras:— Sirn—Certain charges have been made py partics here mn New York, through the public press, afect- ing my integrity and honor if maintained and proved true, Some days since I addressed a letter to the honorable the Secretary of the Treasury, asking an Investigation of the matter if the charges had to him semblance of truth, wise than by thls letter I have remained tions by the advice of lent under these ‘leoda and counsel, These charges lave al last assumed such definite shape and form that to Jonger remain silent is to plead guilty and admit their truth, Being still an oMcer of the army, on leave of ab- sence, I have the honor to request that a court of in- quiry Composed of officers of the army may be ordered to Investigate all these charges, with the usual power to take testimony ana affidavits and compel atiend- ance of witnesses, that the whole matter may bo thoroughly and carefully investigated. It is due to you in return for tue honor you con- ferred upon me by this appointment that such an investigation be made, that your confidence in me may be publicly sustained and approved, or, failing in acquitting me of the char, fer! ainst me, the reverse, sed siesstincas toda 1 know of no other way that the charges can be investigated in such @ manner as to bring forth the truth, which I court aud desire, as well as fully and entirely satisfy the public, who have a just and wees be ge in the Whole truth of the matver, Ny respectfully, your obedient servan: DANIEL BOLT ERE bhp, Assistant trenenroe, GENERAL BUTTERFIELD'S LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. UNITED Staves TREASURY, New York, Oct, 22, 1869, Hon. Gzo. 8. BouTWELL, Secretary of the Treagury:- DEAR Sik—I know of no other way that the charges and statements affecting my conduct as an officer and a gentieman can be so fully, thoroughly and fairly investigated as by the method | have this day requested from the President, and forward here- with through you. Acting under the advice of friends and counsel, I have remained stlent and taken no notice of the charges and aspersions made. The cuarge that I have been a party, or had any interest in any com- bination to affect the price, or have bought any goid for such purposes, or with such parties, or author- ized any person or party whatever in any way to do so, 18 wholly and unqualifiedly faise. The charge that I have received any pay, emolument or profit for any service, informa- tion or assistance to any such persons or parties, 18 wholly and entirely false. The charge that the gold or funds of the Treasury have been sold or used tn any manner other than under your directions and orders and those of the Treasurer of the United States, ail of which are public, 18 wholly false. The charge that I have used my private means in speculating in gold or authorized otners to do so 1s wholly false, Icannot enter into details, item by item, of the various accusations made against me otherwise than by a proper and thorough investigation, As I sul hold my commussion in the Army of the United States, which commission, as weil as the position I now occupy, Iam unworthy to hold if the various charges made against me are true, | sincerely trust that you may think proper to endorse my, request. lam advised by my counsel and iriends that this course is the true one for me to pursue, I should feel unsatisfied with any less formal and exact in- vestigation and examination, Such a commission would have full power to investigate and summon and compel attendance of witnesses, If composed, as | trust it may be, of officers of the highest stand- ing and character in the army, its investigation and decision should be fully satisfactory. 1t will be 80 to me. Jam, very respectfully, your obedient servant, DANIEL BUTTERFIELD, Assistant Treasurer. In compitance with the request of General Butter- field, the Secretary sent a special agent of the de- partment, in the person of Solicitor Barfield, to New York to-day, with instructions to make a full and fearless examination of the whole matter, so far as the alleged conduct of General Butterfleid 1s con- cerned, and to report the facts, when ascertained, to Secretary Boutwell. Should it appear on investigation that General Butterfield was in any way, however remote, con- nected with the gold ring, or mixed up with any speculations, the Secretary says the President will instantly remove him. It was considered due to General Butterfleld that no action should be taken in bis case on the mere statement of Fisk, Gould and their accomplices until a regular oficial investigation was had. Tbe department has nothing oficial to show that General Butterfield has done anything improper, and in justice to him it has been determined to as- certain ail the facts before acting. With regard to Jay Gould’s statement about Sec- retary Boutwell belug in collusion with certain par- ties in Wall street and keeping them informed of his plans in advance, the Secretary says he can only brand them as lalsehoods, He defies Gould or any of his associates to pro- duce evidence to substantiate his assertions with reference to the dinner at Delmontico’s, to which Jay Gould alludes, ‘ Mr. Boutwell says he has no idea whether his rad- teal friends were “bulls” or “bears” in gold. He made no inquiry oa that subject, but he defles any man to show that any information was procured from him relative to the future financial policy of the government, either on that or any other oc- casion. As already stated, the Secretary’s information with regard to the gold speculation 1s of a negative character. He bemeves that the investigation in the case of General Butterfield will put the whole matter in its true and proper light. He intormed your correspondent that so far as the statements of Fish and Gould endeavored to con- nect the President with the conspiracy he believed they were utterly falso, and he thinks the country ought to know it. Whatever Corbin may have done the President 1s not and cannot be held responsible, because it was without his knowledge or consent.

With regard to the admission of the Southern States to representation in Copgress, it may be stated that as the seasion of Congress approaches there are indications that an effort will be made on the pars of @ few ultra radicals to keep them out. For this pur- pose stories are being industriously circulated and letters written by interested parties in the South to the effect that there is a general understanding among the Southern leaders that as soon as these States are admitted their legislutures will undo all they have done in compliance with the demands of Congress, and that the action of the Tennessee Legislature, a8 Well as that of Georgia, will be generally followed. It {8 known that such conduct is disavowed by the men who have been most prominent in the work of reconstruction in the South, and it is believed that the purpose attributed to these men has no exist- ence except in the minds of those who are anxious to keep these States out of Congress. The Presi- dent is known to be anxious for the speedy admis- sion of all the States not yet represented, and it 13 said he will use his influence for the purpose. He does not pay any attention to the stories about latent treachery on the part of the Southerners, nor does he believe that there will be any developed. Texas PoliticeRadical Alarm Over the Negro Vote. General W. T. Clarke, of Texas, arrived here again this morning, and wili leave for Texas immediately. ‘fhe distribution of federal patronage witn a view to aia in the election tn that State has been pretty well disposed of, and for the past few days there has been ageneral movement in the direction of the Lone Star State of all parties interested in the success of the election, Reports recently received announce that the democrats and conservatives are indus- triously at work, and all the evidences are that there will be a lively time. The friends of Davis have not yet opened the campaign on their side; but the indications are that they will now swing in. The deepest interest is manifested in the result of this election by the Northern iriends of the republican cause in the South, and many of these ate giving tangible evidence of this sympathy. The opposition is said to be well organized, and backed by the old rebel divisions of the soil, are destined to make a stubborn fight, Social in- fluences as well as political heresies, so perfectly im- bedded in this portion of the popular mind, will have full sway, and is apt to effect a united front of all the elements opposed to progress and the new order of things. Considerable anxiety is manifested over the negro vote, not so much upon the grounds of the unreliability of this class as their remarkable credulity, combined with ignorance. The negroes, as @ class, are universally with the republicans; but the fears are that they will be dupea by the emissa- ries of the opposition. A stampede of the African vote at the last moment would have a most dam- aging, if not fatal, effect. One of the first efforts of the republicans in their management of the cam- paign will be to watch and keep the negro element Wellin hand. It ts now five weeks until the election, and much remains to be done before the State can be considered in any manner safe. General Butler in the Supreme Court. Ben Butler is here to argue a cause which it Is expected will come up in the Supreme Court to-morrow involving the question of the patent for the manufacture of paper from wood. The case was decided against Butler's clients in the courts below, and since that time there has been some com- promise between the contestants whereby the pat- ent has been transferred to one of the parties. Under this state of affairs Butler proposes to move to dis- miss the case. Union Soldiers Interred in Southern Ceme- teries. Quartermaster General Meigs has just issued mus- ters twenty-one and twenty-three of the Roll of Honor. The*first records the burial places of 23,000 deceased Union soldiers, whose names, 80 far as known, are alphabetically arranged, with full index, according to the places of interment, and with a brief preface to each list, giving a short history of the cemeteries in which they are interred at Mem- phis, Tenn., and Chalmatte, La. The whole num- ber interred at the Mississippi River Natlonai Cemetery, near Memphis, is nearly 14,000, of which 4.200 are colored. Thirty-two States and organiza- tlons are represented, and 537 regimeuts. The vic- tims of the Fort Pillow massacre, and those who subsequently died in occupancy of that fort have all been removed to this cemetery and buried by them- selves, The total number so removed is 248. Of the thirty-four known names in this list only three are the names of victims of tie massacre, and all efforts to obtain a list of the names of others have been thus iar unsuccessful. Volume twenty-three contains the records of the graves of 16,675 Union soldiers interred in the national cemeteries at Mari- etta, Ga.; Fort Donelson, Dover, Tenn., and, suppie- mentary to No. ll of the Rolls of Honor, Chata- nooga, Murfreesboro, Stone River and Knoxville, Tenn, Nos. 21 and 22 of the Roll of Honor are not yet ready for issue. Government Bank Note Paper. The Treasury Department constantly keeps an exact account of ail the sheets of blank paper on which the obligations of the government are to be printed, This is made up of statements from Glenn's Mills and from the points where printing is executed, the several statements as to the umount on hand being telegraphed to the Treasury Depart- ment datly. An agent of the department and assist- anis were sent to Glenn’s Mills a few days ago to count the paper at that place, to ascertain whether the amount reported on hand agreed with that calied for by the books of the department. On the return of the agent he reported 220,000 sheets, which was found to be correct as compared with the books of that date, with the exception of 60,000 sheets, which had been sent to the bank note companies at New York. Relief for California Fruit Distillers. ‘The fruit distillery interest of California has been languishing on account of the stringent reguiation applied to it in common with grain distillation. These regulations were inapplicable on account of the varlety of material used and the irregularity of the duration of distitiling. The law gives power to the Commissioner ot Internal Revenue to dispense with such regulations in favor of fruit distil- lers. During the past week Hon. A, A. Sargent, of California, and O, M. Burnham, Assessor of the Second Collection district of California, have Lad frequent interviews with CommissionerjDeiano on this subject, and the result is important modifica- tions of the regulations applied to this interest, ‘The kind of material used is to be considered in esti- mating the capacity of the stills, and the Lours only actually occupled in distillation are to be considered in estimating the amount that should be returned. This will relieve the frait disulling 1 est from a destructive deticiency tax. A liberal treatment 1s to be applied in cases where this deficiency tax has been already assessed. It is further directed that vintners selling wiues of their own manufacture are not liable to a dealer's license, ‘Treasurer Spinner’s A 1 Report. The forthcoming report of Treasurer Spinner will show that the increase of collections and the de- crease of expenditures for the six months ending August 31, 1869, amounted vo $56,000,000, as com- pared with the corresponding period of 1868, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. The State of Texas vi ite C John Maguire vs. White Chiles et al.— y L. Tyler et al. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 1869. No. 6—Original. The State of Texas vs. White Chiles et al.—The motion to perfect the judgment in this cause was postponed until the 5th proximo, to accommodate counsel. No, 107%. John Maguire, Piaintif im Error, vs. Mary L. Tyler et al.—This isa motior to reform the judgment entry in this cause, made by the defendant in etror, Who claim thas it is tn violation of tne powers and jurisdiction of the court. The cause comes by Writ of error from the Supreme Court of Missouri, under the twenty-ifth section of the Judict act. The proceeding was in equity to establish title to certain lands in the vicinity of St. Louis, The jurisdiction of this Court ‘Was maintained on the ground that the deciston of the Supreme Court of the State heid to be void the confirmation of title in certain of the pares by aniaeecatiaemtemcareenenecmsomnton land contmfastoners appointed under an act of Com gress; and she judgment order was that ‘the judg- inent be reversed and the cause remanded, with directions to the Supreme Court of Missouri to aflirm the decree of the St, Louis Court of Common Pleas," where the case was originally tried. The defend. ants in error conted that this Court had jarisdiction only of the question of confirmation or some others immediately respecting the validity or construction of an act of Congress under which the confirmation was made, and on which Dog tr title exelusiveiy depend; but that the order made excludes, over- rules and determines decisions by the State court of questions of local law, of estoppel, of limitations, of bona fide purchases, of res adjudicaca, of equity, of derivation of title, of the location of lands covered by deeds and otner defences over which the State courts, under the federal constitution, Dave exciu- sive original and appellate jurisdiction, and this court has none whatever. It is submitted that these questions of local law exist and are fully set forth om the face of the record, with ample, and in the case of elght of those defences, conciusive record evi- dence to establish them under the laws of the State, and that they are wholly independent and exciusive of all questions over which this Court hag any juris- diction on writs oferror irom State courts, Theentry, therefore, which directs the atirmance of the decree of the original court, and thas deprives the Supreme Court of the State of the right to decide these matters, purely local, should be reformed and the mandate should be so qualified as to direct sim- ply that further proceedings be had in conformity w the opinion of the court, thus directing the Supreme Court af the State only so far as eral p merge are concerned, leaving them at liberty to ecide local questions in accordance with their owa constitution and the laws of the State. The plain- tufs 10 error argue that by the act of 1862 this Court “may at their discretion proceed toa final decision of a cause and award execution or remand the same to the inferior court,” and that by the twenty-fourth section of the act of 1862 the Circuit Court on revera- ing a judgment in the District Court shall render Such judgment as the District Court should have rendered. On error to the Circult Court this Court Shall do the same, except where the reversal is in favor of the plaintiff in the original suit and the damages to be assessed are uncertaim. ‘The fact that the judgment of reversal is in favor of the plainuid in the original cause does not change the rule, uniess also the damages to be assessed are uncertain. ‘There {8 jo this cage, therefore, no modt- fying element of the kind, he aamages are alreaay assessed; they are certain and debnite, not even questioned of record. So, if this were a writ of error to tne Circuit Court, this Court must render such a decree as the Vircuit Court ought to have ren- dered. The twenty-lifth section of tue act of 1803 provides for a writ of error to @ State court, and tuat the proceedings on reversal shall also be the game a8 in error to @ Circuit Court, except that the Supreme Court may “proceed to final decision and award execution,” even in cages where the damages to be assessed are uncertain, if the cause should have been once before remanded. These two modifying elements, It 13 aM serted, which balance and neutralize each othe are wanting in this case, The cause wag never remanded before, and the damages to be asgessed are not uncertain. This Court,;therefore, on the reversal of the decision of the Supreme Court of the State, should render precisely such a decree ag the State court ougnt to have rendered. In other words, this Court “shall” reuder such a decrec as the State court suould have rendered. If the Supreme Court of this State shall have aifirmed the decree of the Common Pleas this Court mast aifirm it. Such was the act of 1759; under that act this Court may Not issue executions. But, under the act of 1867, thisjCourt may, at their discretion, proceed to a final decision and award execution, or remand the cause lo the inferior court. The order ts right, there‘ore, as it stands. The motion was argued by P. Phillips and Judge Curtis for sustaining it and by J. M. Car- lisie and Thomas Ewing, Sr., against it, EXTENSIVE FIRE IN WEST TWENTY-EIGHTH STREET. A Fireman Killed.
