MEX1€0, July 90, 1870. ‘There is no very exciting news since my last. General Martinez and his followers are continuing their march through the State of Tamaulipas and into that of Vera Craz, making forced loans as he passes and crying “Vive la Constitution!” Mr. Aspe, the Custom House officer from Matamoros, seems determined to make a proper representation of the conduct of General Rocha toward the mer- cantile community and capitalists of bat city, and, it Js said, will soor arrive here, Petitions in favor of General Negrete, asking his paraon by the Prest- dent, are pouring in, one of the latest and most im- portant haying just arrived from Acapulco, signed by a host of respectable citizens of that place. fils trial has not yet come off; but his (riends proiess (0 have great hopes of his life being saved. Late news trom Minatitlan announces the recent expulsion from the country, without trial or oppor- tunity for defence, of a French subject, who has Jarge property interests there. He has been de- nounced by some commerciai rivals as a “perni- cious foreigner,” aud in spite of bis permanent ipterests in the country the influences brought to bear upon the general government here are so strong as to effect the issuing of an order for his expulsion without a hearing. There is reason to believe, how- ever, that the particulars of the case will be imme- diately brought to the knowledge of the Cabinet, apd that a counter order will be issued suspendiog Bis expulsion unt he is heard at least. ‘The leave of absence conceded to Governor Pes- queira having expired, that officer has returned to Ve periormance of his duties. The news reaches us from that State that the incursions oi the Apache Indians are most fatal to the interests and lives of the people, all work being suspended in ihe northern parts of the State, as the men are compelied to organize themselves In bands for protection against barbarities, The oMcial paper of the State government of Sonora says, under date of June 17, “We will soon give publicity to some facts with reference to claims made for damages and losses received in Sonora by the fiilbustering Yan- Kees Who have the audacity to attempt to subjugate us.” We anxiously awalt news from the Pacific giving me et particulars as tothe Mohican and the For- ward. it is now quite well known that the deficit in the fiscal year ending June 40 will equal uf not exceed $7,000,000; amount called for by appropriation bul, $21,000,000: receipts less that, $14,000,000, Mr, on, United Staves sinister, has recently returned from a short stay at Puebla where he bas been restoring his vigor atthe sulphur baths, the followtng is from Zhe Two Republics: — The Brownsville Ranchero says:—“The people of the United States who furnished tue materials by which this government Was set up are denied-payment therefor and are ‘abused and maligned instead; the men who fought for the Juarez cause were ill-treated and starved ont of the country, ‘and to-day there is no nation upon the face of the earth which stands in euch unfriendly attitude towards the United States and the people thereof as docs Mexico and the people thereof.

Grenville T. Jenks. Asndden gloom was cast over all the community of Saratoga by the startling announcement on Sun- day morning that Grenville T, Jenks, one of the most widely known and distinguished lawyers of ‘Une bar of New York city and Brooklyn, had died in his bed of apoplexy during Saturday night. No man in the profession, unless we except the late James T, Brady (to whom In many points of his pro- fessional character he was like), could be more gen- erally and sincerely lamented. About three weeks ago, during the hot days of July, he had an attack of cholera morbus, which left him weak and with a {ttle appetite. The unusual heat had overcome him, and on Thursday night last, having eat little except fruit during the day, he had an atiack of cholera, to releve which he took @ dose of not over twelve to fifteen drops of laudanum. His sons (aged thirteen and seventeen years) were with niin at is bedside in the morning (Friday) when he complained that his head was badly affected py the Jaudanum. He had no appelite to eat, and, although begged to remain and take other medicine, he arose and Went to take the fresh outaoor air, He meta pro- fessional iriend who was going to Saratoga, was Persuaded to accompany him, and eit in the two o'clock train. The effect of the journey and the close muggy alrof Friday and Saturday no doubt super- induced upon hisfuil habit the diséase which carried him away. The bar has lost one of tts ablest aad moat brilliant members, and « useful and interesting family of three sons and one Gaughter a most generous and noble-hearted protector. Indeed, he was even al- most unwisely generous in bestowing upon them, not only comfort, but every luxury that his large and lucrative profession gave nim the means of giv- ing in abundance. His large heart was always open to the wants and sufferings of others. Not only was he noted for #ls liberality in professional services, but his liberal hand and heart were always open to give all he had, if necessary, to relieve cither his brothers at the bar or those whom he knew among ail the hunbler classes, To aciient, whether rich or poor, he was always true, and often nobly generous. He de- tended, in a capital trial, the poor fellow in Brook- lyn who killed @ man in a drupken spree simply be- cause this fellow had six helpless children and a suffering wife. He received nothing. After the fel- low was convicted Mr. Jenks expended out of his own pocket over $300 in procuring a commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment, which arrived even afterthe preparations for execution were be- ‘un, ‘This is only one case among hundreds of stm- jar kindness; ‘Mr. Jenks was born in Boston and was abont forty years of age. His father, Rev. Francis Jenks, who died in his infancy, was a classmate ta Harvai College of Bancroft, the historian, and of Caleb Cushing, and one of the most accomplished classical scholars in New England. He was for many years the editor of the Christian Eramimer in the days or Channing, edited the Giossary edition of Shak- speare issued by Dearborn, Milton’s prose works, with extended preface, and the writings of Joanna Baile. He was cat down inthe midst of a most brilliant promise, He married tn carly life the sister of Wendell Phillips. He died leaving three chil- cren—Grenville Tudor, the subject of this notice; Francis, now a lawyer in Brook! DR, and one daugh- ter, now the wife of the Rev.

After graduating be read Jaw with Lott Murphy and Vanderbilt. His iirst firm was Pomeroy & Jenks, and for many years subsequently it was Pierson & Jenks, during wuich time he distinguished himself as the counsel of the Brooklyn City Railroad, and by the clearness and ability of his arguments upon tlie re- Jations of the legislative power to long established municipal rights. {He afterwards entered into part- nership with Judge Emmot and Joshua M. Van Cott—*-Van Cott, Emmot aud Jenks.” Prior to his late partnership he was for a short time with Judge Pratt, of the Supreme Court. His late firm was Jenks & Ward, Mr. Frederic A. Ward being junior partner. For many years past Mr. Jenks has been retained almost entirely as an advocate in the trial of causes in the higher courts and in arguments be- fore the Court of Appeals, With such men as Judge Lott and other strong men of the beuch he was always a favorite. He Inherited his father’s rare memory and love of classical learning, but was too early thrown into the practical, forensic labor of the bar, to distin- guisk himseif in Mterature, His strong memory was oiten tested in citations from a Gozen or more trial reports and decistons of the courts, when, in- stead of piling up tome upon tome before him, he Would state them distinctly from memory, perhaps from oue reading before the day of argument on trial. Of his ready wit and keen repartce and his power before a judge there is not space to speak. The blow is sudden and terrible to bis imteresting family and wide circle of relatives and friends, scattered, as they are, among the distant mountains and summer retreats. His wife and little boy of cight years, with his partner, Mr. Ward, and other friends are now tn Switzerland.

In the United States Commissioners’ Court, iu this city, Commissioner Shields presiding, yesterday, Gen. Henry E. Davies, at the request of Mr. Wm. H. ‘Thompson, ex-United States Marshal, moved an ad- Journment of the court out of respect to the memory of the late Grenville T. Jenks. He followed jthe mo- tion with a brief but fitting enlogy of the deceased. Assistant District Attorney Purdy seconded the mo- tion in aspeech characterized by deep emotion and Was succeeded by Mr. Willis, The Commissioner said he fully coincided with the eloquent tribute pronounced upon the deceased as a briiliant advo- cate at the bar, as @ shining ornament of society and as one whose death would be long and deeply lamented, and be therefore granted the motion and adjourned over ail other proceedings until to-mor- row. The Supreme, City ana County courts of Brook- jyn adjourned yesterday out of respect to the memory of the late Grenville T. Jeuks, the well known jawyer of Brooklyn, who died at Saratoga on Sunday.” A meeting of members of the bar was also held, at which brief speeches, expressive of sorrow at the loss of the distinguished rawyer, were THE ICE MONOPOLY. Statement of the Condition of the Ice Market and the Kennebeo as a Bace of Operations— Rapid Diminution of the Crop—The Yan- kees and an Ice Corner—Popular Indignation in This City. The citizens of New York are getting tired of the exactions of the ice monopolists, and in letters to the HERALD they complain day by day of the advan- tage taken by those who have been fortunate enough to lay in a supply, for which they obtain $1 60 per hundredweight, Yesterday the following was received, and 1s only a sample of many:—‘It seems that the unjustifiable exactions of tce monopolists have overtaxed the endurance of their consumers, who are making arrangements to discontinue all future dealings with members of this unscrupulous ring and get supplies from other reliable and more honorable dealers.”” In order to bring the subject down to a close scrutiny, areporter of the HERALD called at the ofice of the Washington Ice Company, in Canal street, and found the President just on the eve ‘of an important ehgagement, He, however, consented to remain 8 few moments. ea RerortEeR—It is understood, sir, that the price of ice bas been advanced to two dollars per hundred, PRESIDENT--That 13 not true, sir, ag far as this company 1s concerned, and the statement Js entirely Wrong. I saw itin the newspapers, but of course knew the mistake, Reyorten—How do you account for such an error? PRESIDENT—The newspapers have evidently been Imposed upon. Thai is the only explanation, This company has not raised the price of ice and It re- Mains as it was, one dollar and Mfty cents for pri- vate consumers; that ts, private houses. REPORTER—What are the several prices of ice as you deliver it to digerent parties? PRESIDENT—We sell ice to the ‘independent men”? at sixteen dollars a ton—that 1s, to the wholesale dealers, Up to this morning It was fifteen dollars @ ton, but we bave found it necessary Lo make this ad. Vance, 28 you wili soon see. Ice 18 delivered to the hotels at one deliar a hundred and, as I said before, vo the private consumers at one dollar and Sifty cents per hundred, We really make more upon ice detiv- ered to the horels than we do upon that sold to pri- vate houses, Breaking ce nto smail pieces involves great loss. The chips become worth and the process of melting destroys the smali fragments, There is always a large waste. This is why ice in small blocks must be sold at one dollar and fifty cents per hundred, RerorTsr—Then the only advance you have made is in the price to wholesale dealers, from fifteen to #lxteen dollars a ton? PRESIDENT—Preciscly; that is all. Rerorrer—ice 13 not plenty now? PRESIDENT—NO,'si; it 1s very scarce and there Is no surplus tn the city, and here you can see how Iuch Of monopolists we are; for this whole subject has.been muddied by the newspapers, and tue un- pression has gone forth that the high price of ice 1s our fault, This 1s not so. Ice has a market and the supply and demand regulates its price, It is not In our power to change it in the least, People may believe that we ure wantonly making exorbitant profits, but such {s not the case. Unforeseen causes have drained the New York market and have made the commodity scarce. The daily tempera- ture and the moderate winter of 1860-70 have had thelr effect. Hence we have to go north. We buy ice now on the Kennebec, at Bangor, Gloucester and Bouinham, Ice from the Kennebeo is tie best. Im my own mind Lhaye no doubt that the newspapers have done much to raise the price of ice, and th statements are positively injurious to the ' public 1 terests. All the uuhealthy excitement has occa- stoned an alarm which reaches beyond the borders Ldelalig York, and tells upon the market on the Ken- nebec. ReEPORTER—In what respect? Presipent—In this way, as 1 will show you by an example. On Friday Phad concluded a verbal con- tract for 1,500 tons of ice, to be sent to New York for the Wasiington Company from the Keunebec. On Saturday the papers reported that ice was two dollars, the price, it was declared, having veen raised, ‘The correspondent of the Kennebec dealers tuen stated that he had been ordered by his princi- bree to coliect his commissions from the purchasers. appears that the dealersin the Kennebec had been apprised of the statements as to an advance, and wished to make the profit themselves, This was practically influencing the market aud working injuriously to the interests of the citizens. ‘The ice men on the Kennebec, of course, now have large interests in this city, and these reports are carefully considered, ‘Thus you see how it operates; and inere 4s another important poimt. We can no Jonger obtain ice from boston, ‘Tha supply there is limited. Tere is a letter (and the President exhibited a business note from @ prominent Boston house) which informs us that 1,000 tons of Ice at $10 per ton cannot be delivered. ‘Chis letter 1s from a bouse which has branches in New Orleans, Mobile and the large Southern cities of the United Siates. Thus even at $10 the supply is curtailea, REPORTER—At $10 a ton what would It cost yon to bring the ice vo this cliy? PRESIDENT—Faily $15 aton. The purchase price is $10, and the waste and deterioration would amount to 3344 per cent, while the transportauon wouid be $14 ton, and the delivery to our carts $1 more, making the total expense to us $15 83. ReEPORTER—And you seli now by wholesale at $16? PRESIDENT—Yes, Sir. RePoryvER—How 1s it with transportation from the Hennebec? PRESIDENT—It is about fifty cents more, Weare no longer able to purchase ice there for eight dol- lars a ton, as we could formerly. You must remem- ber that ice cannot be made to order by us, and that there are not competing markets, and that the un- fortunate advances in the commodity are in no wise due to the operations of this company in auy par- ucular. The reporter then descended from the offices of the Washington and visited the quarters of the Knickerbocker Company to discover the views of this corporation. ‘the Vice President was accord- ingly interviewed, REPORTER—IS it true that the price of ice has been advanced by your company ? ViCE PRESIDENT—NO, sir, It 1s false; and I was astonished to see the statement in the HERALD. The Vice President then proceeded to abuse the newspapers roundly and to put an embargo upon all information, except a flat denial of the state- ment that tce1s two dollars a hundred. All efforts to enlarge upon the subject were in vain, and in piace of responses the reporter received italicised made by Judge Neilson, Judge Troy, ex-Judge Birdseye, General Crooke, Mr. Winchester Britton and others. A cotumittee was appointed to prepare resolutions expresstve of the feelings of the bar, to be presented at a general meeting which wiil be held in the Supreme Court to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, THE REPORTED TREACHERY OF CUBAN LEADERS, New YorE, August 15, 1870, To THE Epitor ov THe HERALD:— in your Issue of to-day, in a brief article headed “Cuban Insurgents Tarning on Each Other,” you rightly observe:— “Such foul treachery is more to be Greaded than all the reinforcements which Captain General de Rodas expects from Spain.” Permit me to assure you, however, that these re- ported defections are greatly exaggeratea. That Aguilera has surrendered in Holguin does not sur- prise ne, I saw something of the man at Rissarnu, when J first landed in Cuba, which prepared me for his recent treachery, and It 1s quite pro- bable he will do less harm as an open enemy than a professed adherent to the revolution. He had little actually to do as a military chief, hav- ing exercised functions rather of a civil character— that of prefect of a district, and only held the titular military grade of commandante or major. @ I must confess the presentation of Federico Cas- tellanos is harder to believe, for of all Cubans whom I know not one was less likely to go over to the Spaniards. He had particularly distinguished him- self for his savage war against them in his sphere, and if he has in a moment of folly deserted his countrymen, nothing 1s more certain than is fate or punishment by the Spantards, who may ress him for the hour to shoot him a Iitte later a3 In other metances, Castellanos never was @& general, his highest rank was that of heutenant colonel, very recently given bim, Fortun had no military rank or commana and there Is no such Cuban leader as Ortega. Be assured the resolution of the Cubans to be free of Spain remains unabated, and it will require more than the reported Spanish reinforcements expected to put down the revolution, for matertal aid in arms and ammunition has recently been sent to the patriots, THOMAS JORDAN, THE GRAND PARK AFFRAY. A nomber of the rioters engaged in the disgrace- ful métée at Grand Park, Westchester county, on Saturday afternoon, came to this city yesterday in order to evade any.action that might be taken by the county authoriti as Judge Oochrane had callet the attention of the Grand to the matter Tee, morning. Shortly after their arrival in is city the police were notified, and, after a severe siruggie in which the latter were compelled to use thelr oiubs freely, they succeeded tn arresting eleven of the rioters, They were taken before Justice McQuade, wuo heid them for examination.

Although several persous saw Mr, Nathan that morn- ing the appearance of bis fellow traveler escaped ob- servation aud no clue has yet been discovered in Morristown.

This was “the big pel on ice” at the Knickerbocker Company's office. ‘There is a savage feeling pervading the commu- nity (hat our citizens are victims of extortionists in whis commodity. How far this is trae can be judged from the open and explicit conversation of te President of the Washington company. From those statements, which are above reproach, it seems that the whole market is short; that Boston will soon follow New York in “steep” prices, and that the Supply for 1870 18 rapidly diminisuing. The cun- ning “Yankees” of Maine are meanwhile improving upon our adversity, and for every iced beverage we resent to our lips we likewise present a tari to the Haine monopoliste. A popular drink, to the confu- sion of the ice men of the Kennebec, would not be in opposition to the Maine Ligaor law, but it would commemorate @ mercenary intemperance, whose ravages are {elt in every househoid of the city. NEW JERSEY RAILROAD MANAGEMENT, New Yorg, August 15, 1870, To rue Epirorn or THE HERa.p: Your articie in this morning’s paper, entitled “Railroad Consolidation and the Consequences,” is timely and important. The railroad corpora- tions of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania appear to take it for granted that no legislative or judicial power can interfere with their schemes for gain and aggrandizoment, and so proceed un- relentingly in their encroachments on the per- sonal rights of citizens. Every new success but emboldens them for new and more outrageous demands. As an instance, I would refer to a fact of which I was a witness this morning. Your readers fre aware that the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western Railroad companies have re- cently adopted regulations in regard to com- muters which are deemed by the latter as unneces- sary and onerous. One of these forbids the commuter to stop at a way-station under Pena, of forfeiting bis right to the remainder of the trip. The reason at first assigned, and the reason in- ferred from the cavalier manner of the president towards those who waited upon him, was that most potent and unanswerable one, ‘‘ because the company can and will.” The next reason, pro- mulgated by the president himself, was that “ these d——d Jerseymen should not do #peddiing ‘business on his road.”” Finally one of the directors discovered and as- signed one more plausible and commendable, which was that the company must know what to depend on in the number and destination of their passengers, 60 that they might adapt the number of their cars to correspond. Our patient, non- resistant commuters gorged this bait, and have been chewing it ever since, in the be- lief that it really amounted to something. The shallowness and hypocrisy of that pretense is apparent when the fact of the case is that since the adoption of the rule referred to above there has been no mitigation in the crowded condition of the cars. This morning the twenty-five min- utes past seven train from Montclair carried (as near as could be counted and estimated) one hun- nard.. 20, 37, 49, 65. messed the operation, the other man sewed up the wound, seanenuy ascertained that Velhot, the assistant, was a er. jai an dred and thirty-four passengers on the platforms and in the passageways, aban was not & va- cant seat on the . The number of passen- gers was the usual number for Monday morning, and the Ba mye d cannot plead any epecial ex- case, oe in e frue reason for this and other outrages is found, I believe, in the appalling fact that this company is not practically responsible to any highei nee og Lacoarregeg bor can eee under foot, with impunity, vate let but through the citizens. ‘There is no re THE COURTS.

Ameueus Rappe, Bishop of tis diocese, who has been lor several months at Kome, in attendance as a mem- ne ot the Ecumenical Council. He reached Cleve- \ land unexpectedly early on Friday morning. During twme day his arrival became quite generally known, and he received visits and cordial greetings upon. his safe return from many Of his friends. In the evening a grand popular demonstration of Welcome took place. At half-past seven o'clock @ Procession was formed in the square, convisting of the Father Mathew ‘'emperance Society, the St. Patrick's, St. Joseph's, St. John’s and owner Catholie societies, with four bandas of music. A large num- ber of torches were distributed through the pro- cession, and the banners of the various sovieties and three or four American flags were borne aloit. ‘Two white silk banners, prepared for the occasion, borg the inscriptions, ‘Glory to Pius 1X! Greeting to our Prelate!” ‘‘Hehold a great Prelate, who in his days pleased God!” The processwn warched to the house of the Bishop, where he was waited upon by the reception. committee and escorted toa barouche, ‘This, drawn, by four white horses, was assigned a place near the centre of the processiog. The column then moved to Superior street, thence to the square and by way of Euciid avenueand Erie street to the cathedral, with bands playing and colors flying. Meanwhile an immense audience had filled to its utmost cypacity the immense buildang, save the cen- tral portion, reserved for the members of the pxo- cession. When these had filed in others crowdec up the aisles until the room was Hterally packed, every foot of space being occupied, while hundreds stood outside, unable to gain admitiance.

He was immediately tfol- lowed by some twenty priests, from ail parts of the diocese. Among them were two or thre ‘ranciscan monks, from the Woo:liand avenue monastery, clad in their peculiar robes, with sandais upon their feet. As the Bishop pussed up the aisle the organ sent forth its graudest peals, After a few preliminary exercises, Father Carron, of Cleveland, Vicar General of the diocese, ad- dressed the Bishop with a few words of welcome, expressing the pleasure ail feit at nis safe return after hislong absence. He congratulated him upon. the part he nad taken in the grave councils of the Church at Rome, and the great truths which nad ees promulgated to the world by that ecclesiastical 0. iy. Bishop “ee replied briefly, expressing his heart- felt thanks for suchia samy Sei spontaneous de- monstration of welcome. He could find no words to adequately represent his feelings, He ailuded ina few sentences to the dogma of infallibility. He said they did not goto that Counctl as men, but in the name and by the authority of Christ. They pub- lished the declaration of the great truth that the Pope 18 infallible-+that being governed and controlled by the spirit of Christ, ne acts for Htm and therefore cannot err. He said that calumny, insult and misrepresentation had been heaped upon the Pope by his enemies tnrough- out the world, but they hoped in tim: to remove all these false impressions. The Charch was perishing for want of authority and they must firmly estabe lish these great, immortal prinetjes, Lhe Bishop announced that at some fature time he would dis- cuss at some length the subject of infallibility, that betug not a fitting time for extended remarks.
