THE GREAT RUSSIAN EXPOSITION IN 1870, New Reciprocity Treaty With Canada Proposed. — WASHINGTON, Nov, 14, 1869, The Fresidenv’s Financial PollcyRosumption of Specie Payment. It ts understood that one of the points of the forthcoming message of the President in reiation to the finances of the country, he wil suggest fo Gongress the desirability of adopting such measures as will insure a speedy resumption of specie payments, As bas previously been stated In these despatches, the financial ques- tion will be the leading feature of the President's suggestions to Congress. His theory of dealing with the great financial burden now weighing upoa the government is simple and comprehensive, and if carried out by wise legisiation a year hence will wit- ness the practical operation of the system, giving the debt a more solid basis and the industries of the country relieved from the uncertainties and fluctu- ations which are continually destroying value. The President, gince his inauguration, with- out the aid of Congress, has in @ mas terly manner brought the debt of the nation into more successful management than ever before; aud if Congress shows but a fraction of the foresight of the mxecutive we may expect even greater regulia, The three principles upon which the Prest- dont begun his management of tne finances of the governmont were the collection of all the revenues, or at least so much of it as oMcial integrity and em- ciency could coliect, to reduce the expenses of the government and to liquidate the debt as rapidly as possible, Subsequent events show that in each of these cardinal rules of his financial administration he has succeeded aamirably, and iu some cases, as he nas said himself, beyond his most sanguine ex- Pectations. The revenue daily brings in enormous returns. The expenditures have been cut down by millions, and the debt has been reduced $45,000,000 in excess of the amount authorized by Congress. What is evidently desired by the President is to allow the present tax bill to remain untouched, in order that by a continuance of the present large re- venue the debt can be 80 disposed of as to afford a tangible modification a year hence. About a dozen crack brained Congremen, who are always ready to immortalize themselves by thelr iinancial absurdl- ties, are undersiood to have so-called financial pro- posttions with which to bore the sensible men in Congress. The President's view to discountenance all financial tinkering will doubwless meet with the hearty support of Congress, and at the proper time will suggest such @ reduction of taxation as will be an actual relief to the people, It ts also understood that the funding of the national debt at a lower rate of interest ig a favorite mea- sure with the Preaident, and he will so express himself to Congress. The subject of specie payments he has of late been considering, He con- siders that the ductuations of gold should be stopped at the earliest moment, and that the most direct and expeditious manuer tu which to accomplish that desirable result will be in bringing the currency up topar. This will break up the infamous operations of gola gamblers and save the industrial interests of the country from the ruimous consequences of a cir- culating medium, affected by combinations of an- principled men. This will, therefore, constitute the President's next move in his financial policy. The Manner of effecting this object he has not as yet determined. He may leave the entire question to Congress, suggesting merely that some action be taken giving Dim the necessary powers to act. “Journalism in New York.’? Tmust call your attention to a remarkable exhi- bition of newspaper enterprise. The New York Tribune of the 11th inst. contains the report of gov- ernment receipta and expenditures for the quarter ending September 30; publishes not only one day ahead of the HERALD, but twenty-four hours in ad- vance of fecretary Boutwell. The 7ribune's state- ment of receipts is, however, $4,195,727 less than the actual receipts, and its statement of expenditures is $1,861,210 wide of the truth. Six wiliions fifty-six thousand nine hundre d and thirty-seven dollars out of the way. The fact 1s, the true statement was completed, at the Treasury Department, ten minutes before three o'clock P, M. on the 11th instant, imme- diately transmitted to New York by teiegraph and published for the first time, correctly and (ull, in the next morning’s HeRALp. American Products for the Great Russian Exposition in 1870. A resolution was unanimously adopted by the Louisville Convention requesting Ex-President Fill- more to appoint a delegation of six persons to attend the Russian Exposition in 1870. This sug- gestion came from Europe. These commissioners are to take charge of all specimens that exhibitors in the United States may desire to send, and they are specially Instructed’ to procure thousands of sumples of coiton from various States. They have also the duty of preparing and present. ing to the several commercial associations of Europe such reports as will show the im- menso advantages and inducements offered by tiis country to European emigrants. The resolution also provides that Ex-President Fillmore shoud be added as the chairman of the delegation. To provide for the necessary business arrangements Mr. Filmore has designated ouly two persons, who will have charge of the actual detgils.g Bianton Duncan, of Kentucky, and Robert T. San- ders, of Tennessee, It is deemed eminontly appro- priate to consult the wishes of President Grant as to Who will be the best selections to represent the United States, so that the commissioners appointed by the President in behalf of the government may also oe desigaaced as the representatives of tie com mercial interests of theuation, The selection of an appropriate commission, headed by an ex-President of the United Ststes, it ta thought will not only be calculated to advance the material interests of the conatry, but the attention paid to such a com- mission and the interchange of courtesies beiween them and tho representatives of high rank from all European vations will be the means of extentiag the social iatercbange of Americans everywhere with Europeans. Samples of cotton, tobacco, wheat, corn, rice, suar, hemp, &¢., or any of the multi. form productions and manufactures of the United States which are to be exhibited should be neatly arranged in packages with label# specifying the articie, the owner's name and the city or State. They can be sent to 36% Broadway, city of New York, orto Louisville to either of the gentlemen named, who are in active correspondence with Gov ernor Curtin, the American Minister, and with the Russian authorities. A hundred thousand American specimens are asked for to show the importance and the diversity of production in our country. Commercial Relations with Canada=New Reciprocity Treaty. The following, derived from private sources, is believed to be a correct siatement of the position of our government and that of Great Brita upon the subject of a roarrangement of trade relations With the Dominion of Canada, The matter comes up for adjustmerit not In consequence of the resolu- tion of the House of Representatives, bat because the governments appreciates the imporiance of set- tling the fishery question amicably and with rofer- ence vo the interests of American fishermen; and beonUse, also, it {s deemed important, in the inter. este of the great West, that the freedom of tho navi- gation of tho St. Lawrence should be secured and that the canals of Canada should be enlarged to tho capacity of onr wants free of cost to us. The Cata- dian quthorities have notifed our government that unless the trade between the two countries 1s 90 arranged a8 to be somewhat reciprocal they fear thoy Will be unable to withstaud tho pressure irom all HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1869—TRIPLE SHEKT. parca of the Dominion urging them to do away with the system of fishery licenses ana com- pelling American fishermen to remain outside of the three mile limits of the shores of Canada; to esiad- Hah @ duty on foreign coal, so as to give:tno market of Western Canada to Nove Scots 65a] instead of ee asia .eupplied, as at present, from Pennsylvania ‘and Olio; to place an export auty on pine timber and on American vreadstuff, a large market of whieh ts now found in Canada under their free ad. majssion by the present Canadian tariff, the setts for the last year showing value of breadstutfs, wheat, corn, rye, &c., imported from the United States into Canada of $12,282,561, It is said that there is no question as to whether th® resolution of the House of Representatives asking tho Executive to reopen negotiations with Great Britain for the adjustment of these matters is mandatory in its terms or not, because under our form of government no resolution of the House of Representatives can be mandatory on the Executive as regards the treaty making powor, it is simply advisory, @ mere expression of opinion of the same character, but naturally of greater importance, ag the resolution of similar effect of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York and the Boards of Trade of the various States, The Secretary of State having his attention called to the importance of the undetermined commercial questions between this country and Canada in the manner indicated, addressed the British Minister here during last sum- mer and invited his assistance in a proper endoayor to adjust them, It is understoa’ that Mr. Thornton communicated with the government of Canada, and the authorities there having expressed their concur- rence in the importance of arranging the various questions amicably, if possible, a general un- derstanding was arrived at to discusa the matter in detail, when tho Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury would be enabled to avail themselves of the assistance of leading Senators and Congressmen, so as to know how far concessions could be made in tho general interchange of raw products, by way of equivalent for the concessions demanded of Canada. It in safe tosay thatthe matter will not be determined until after a full and careful examination of the whole subject, and solely with a view to the interests of the people of the United Stptes, Foreign Consuls Recognized.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP. The Relkuap-Sherman Difference — “That Herald Gets Everything”=Dycr and His Court of Inquixy—The Fees of His Counsel Not Allowed. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 1569, Last weck I sent you a despatch about Secretary Belknap and General Sherman, in which I alluded tocertain acts of the former which showed him to bea man of decided character and firmness, For some reason or other my despatch has been re- Garded as an evidence of an open breach between the War Minister and the General of tho Armies. It would be unfair to allow such an impression to gain ground. The truth is that no personal diMcuity has occurred. It is merely one of Official authority, General Belknap and General Sherman are socially friends, and good ones at that, so faras Lam in- formed. But officially General Belknap is ono of those earnest men who believe in having their posl- tions understood, and who know how to assert au- thority without giving offence, This ts the platnest manner in which to explain the situation. Beiknap found orders issued by Sherman which he could not sanction and which he, therefore, countermanded without regard to persons or places. This he was conscientiously bound to do, or e'se lay Limseif open to the imputation of being Borie-ized. It is curlous how my despatch on the subject has been twisted and tortured into different meanings. Even people employed in the War Department have been misied into the belief that there exists an open war between Belknap and Sherman; while others declare that there has been no conflict, etther per- sonal or ofticial. A few days after the publication of my despatch two high officers were dining at Wormley’s restau. rant, and among other things got to talking about the reported difference between Belknap and Sher- man. “I say, General, did you see that article in the HBRALD about Sherman getting suubbed by the Sec- retary ?’’ seid one. “Yes, Major, I did,” said the otner, “well” said the Major, “twhat do you think of it now? Is there any truth in tit” “To be frank with you, Major, and talking confl- dentially, of course, there is something in it, Inthe main tbat article 1s correct. The Secretary has countermanded the payment of a claim passed by Sherman while he was acting as Secretary of War. And, what is more, the claim was one which Sher- man, when performing his celebrated march to the sea, promised to see made all right. The counter- manding order Is a sort of reflection upon Sierman as a general and also as Secretary of War.” “Js it possible?” said the Major, “Now, is not it curious how these correspondents hear of such things?” “Yes, indeed, it is," said the General; “but I have noticed that that MeRALD geta pretty much every- thing. TI ratherthink the correspondent must have got that atthe War Department, I don’t see how it could leak out otherwise,” General Dyer, Chief of the Ordnance Bureau, tum- bles from one suarl tuto another. Recently somo Washington publishers printed and circulated a pamphlet consisting of a letter of Norman Wiard and an appendix containing varied libellous matter agaiust Ceneral Dyer, whic is intended to show up the ordnance chief and his contracts manythiag but a favorable light, General Dyer, more as a joke than in earnest, has resolved to bring a libel suit agninss the publishers to compel them to establish the trath of thelr charges. fn his defence General Dyer ei. ployed abe counse), Inciuding David Dudiey Field, of New York, Mr. Fteld’s bili tor these services amounts to $5,000, General Dyer, considering that government had a nent to pay viis bill, Went to Generdi Sherman, aboutthe matter, General Sherman in his avinpt way deciared the bill entirely propes, and offered to recommend its payment on the spot. Dyer, how- ever, told the General that he would prefer to have the question referred to the President, as some im- portant points wore involved. General Sherman acquiesced, the bill was referred to the President, aud in due time was laid before the Cabinet for their consideration, Atioraey General Hoar opposed pay- ment of the bill, and on his advice it was resolved that the government had no right to defray the ex- penses of Dyer’s couusel. So the worthy Chief of Ordnance finds himself not only with a libel hand, but with a responsibility for the pay: § 00 lor defending himself from charges against his conduct ag an officer of the government, 1S IT A MUADCAt An Inchriated Woman Found Dead=Her Hluaband Arrested for Murder.
