Thave come into possession within the past few Gays of evidence, the accuracy of which I am able 10 substantiate at any moment, of the existence of @ secret alliance for offensive and defensive pur- poses between Russia and Prussia, This alliance was concluded before the opening of the war be- tween Prussia and France. It 13 known as a fact that after the signing of tne treaty of Paris in 1856, a supplementary secret treaty was made between England, France aud Austria, by which these Powers bound themselves to regard any infraction of the treaty of Parts by Russia as a casus velit, and that they should act aggressively with Turkey against the Czar in case of the occurrence of such an event, THE CZAR’S JUSTIFICATION, ‘The existence of this supplementary agreement 1s yegardeé as seriously compromising England and as freeing Russia from all obligation to respect the lat- tor treaty (of Paris), THE SAVING CLAUSE. The eighth article of the treaty of Paris provides that no signatary Power shall declare war, in the event of an actual er supposed infraction of the tweaty, until after having aforded to all the signing Powers an opportunity to inquire inio the case presenting, and thus enjoy an opportunity to en- deavor to arrange a settlement by mediation. TREACHERY TO THE ALLIES. This secret treaty, which was entered into imme- diately afterwards by England, France and Austria, 4s regarded as a violation of the article referred to, and as implying treachery and bad faith towards the remainder of the signetary Powers, AMERICAN INTERESTS ON THE OCEAN. Very great apprehension is expressed in Englahd to-day that if war with Russia should ensue from the present complication the United States of America, acting on the precedent which was set by England in the Alabama case, will cover the ocean | with privateers sent out under Russian letters of marque.

THE McGARRAHAN CLAIM. Authorized Yobdion Pat ‘the Pp sident’s Views on Subject-Facts Kegarding Secretary Cox's Resignatio: CINCINNATI, Noy, 21, 1870, On Thursday last President Grant had an inter- view with a gentleman prominent in official circles on the subject of the Cox-McGarrahan claim. The President anthorized himto make the following statement:— It is stated on the highest authority that there never was the slightest disagreement between the President and Secretary Uox on the McGarrahan claim in the administration of the Interior Depart- ment, Not a word passed on the subject of the claim, except that when the Cabinet was organized in March, 1869, the President then said to the Cabl- net, and particularly to Secretery Cox, that he sup- posed this im would be brought before the ad- ministration in some form, He wanted thus early to announce his views to them, not beltey- ing either claimant had well grounded titles, but believing that both were tainted with fraud, and that the government really owned the land, He did not want the administration to have any- thing to do with It, but to let the court and Congress settle the matter. He then and there, in the pres- ence of the Cabinet, directed Mr. Cox to decline to consider the elaim until Congress and the court made it imperative for the administration to act. From that day to the time Secretary Cox wrote his first letter of resignation, he (Cox) never as much as intimated to the President that the time had arrived for the admistration to act. Having these facts in mind when he wrote Secretary Cox from Long Branch, and assuming that the Secretary did not intend to act until he nad conferred with him, the President, nevertheless, feared that he might commit himseif to some line of policy which Cemmissioner Wilson might seize upon as & pretext to compromixe te administra- tion im favor of one or the other of these fraud@lent claims. The very nature of his commu- nication to the Secretary shows he never distrusted him fora moment. He had his orders fully sixteen mouths before, and the President could not suppose he would disobey them. He had good reasons in the shape of written evidence to distrust Commis- sioner Wilson, and warned the Secretary accord- ingly. The Secretary’s second resignation cut oif the explanation promised, The prudence of the President is commendable. The temper ot Secretary Cox was unfortunate. He should not have committed himself to one of these parties without consulting the President or his Cabinet, since he says in Is letter that “ic is a measure ofso much adiainistrative {mportance—one of the greatest likely to come before tt,” so that he could not withdraw from it, when requested by his supe- rior, without showing insuberdmation and bad tem- per. Second—The subject of managing the Department of the Interior was not discussed by the President und Secretary, And the former never interfered tn any respect, either by huuself or through others, He may haye read it 1p the newspapers of the day, but he was not advised of what the Secretary was doing. tle certainly did not interpose any objec- tion to the mode of flillug offices in the department, At no ume did he express a single view tn respect tothe assessment of clerks for electloncer- ing purposes. He did say to Assistant Secretarv Otto that be thought the clerks ought to be permitted to go nome and vote, as was usual, Without curtailing their pay; but he tssued no order on the subject, He very properly thought there should be uo discrimination against those clerks in favor of those in other departments, more ¢specially as there were, according to report, more democrats appointed by this Secretary than by any other. The suggestion was benefictal to both democrats aud republicans. Never having read the Secretary’s second leiter, except to see that it was another resignation, when it was published he was as much surprised aS anybody else to find upon what ground the resignation was put. There is but one way of explaining or reconciling these two letters. Having received no answer | Shime directly contrag to the first, and remembering the early and first stand the President took against these two claim- ants, and the orders he then gave ignoring both, he knew he ceuld not stand on that letter, and there- fore resorted to the civil service expedient.. He knew the President had never interfered with him, but recollected some newspaper sensationalist had written that Senators Cameron and Chandler had, after seeing the President, compiatued of the Secre- tary’s mode of administering the office, and this might do to justify his new reasons for resignin; hese are authentic facts, and the pubiic must judge of the Secretary’s sincerity and merits, ASSESSMENT ON THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD SC2i DIVIDEND. : Assessor Lathrop received recently a letter from the Internal Revenue Bureau respecting the assessment of tax upon what 1s known as the eighty percent scrip dividend declared by the New rork Central Ratlread Company, in which the Commis- sioner declared that “the interests and rights of the government forbid that an assessment shoulda longer be delayed.” Acting on this inuma- tion, the Assessor has made several aitempts to make the Central management render trinute to Sam, but without effect. Com- medere Vanderbilt yesterday startea for Wash- ington for the purpose of arranging the matter. It was stated on the street by & prominent broker in the Central interest that Commissioner Murphy had paved the way for the QVommodore’s visit to Washington, and that in consideration of political support the powers that be have arranged not to enforce the tax, which amounts to upwards of a million of dollars. The tssue of the maiter will be looked for with much interest, “SMART” BUSINESS MEN. Sharp Practice Between a Pair of Newark ‘obacconiste—How One Oliver Skiuned An- other Oliver. Last evening there was arrested at Murray’s Hotel, in Newark, by Detective Haggerty, a man named Oliver D. Bacon, @ tobaccouist and cigar dealer, who Is accused by another party in the same business, one Oliver Martin. It appears Bacon kept a@store in Market street Just below Mulberry, and Martin kept one in New sireet. Some time ago they traded stores, Martin giving bis one, worth About $500, and two notes, one for $100 and one for $52, besides $87 50 In cash, for Bacon's, which the lat- ter declared to be free of all debt and ental "a had Martin carried out the trade when a third party stepped in and bought the place off his hands, pay- ing for the same notes that bave since proved bogus, It is now alleged that he was an accompitee of Bacon id that the whole aifair ts a complete “skin game.” Further if now transpires that the stock in the store formerly owned by Martin was not prid for.

THE ARENA was a room at the back of the gin mill, about thirty feet by fifteen, in the centre of wotch was parti- tioned’ off a pit, about tweive feet omg by twelve wide, and very unhke @ rat worry? pit; In fact, it was a sinail amphitheatre in which wild beasts might fight. tome ity or sixty rats had already been slangh- tered at eight o’clock, and were piled in a heap at one end of the room, and a bull and terrier dog of about thirty pounds weight was just finisulng off tbe last six;at Its leisure. This completed, the master of the ceremonies, Jack Jennings, tossed the dead rats out of the pit, announcing, : “Chowder at eigut on Saturday night, gentlemen,’ evidently desiring the inference to be drawn that the dead rats were to form component parts of said chowder, and whereupon the spectators laughed. “Now, gentlemen,” continued Jennings, “i some sport for yer. Now, none of yer make any row, but let the aawgs fite themselves; an’ the qui- eter yer are the more sport yer’ll ’ave.”” ‘This is evidently a change in the programme, and not expected by the unimitiated, but the HERALD reporter waited in silence. A savage white dog, weighing about thirty pounds, was then brought into (he pit. and presently “Kit Burns’ brought in a brindle dog, about he same weight, THE DOGS FLEW AT EACH OTHER like tigers, up and down and all round, until the floor and sides of the pit were covered with blood. ‘The white dog was the mos? scientiiic worrier, bus received much punishment from the brindled brute until towards the last, when the white dog was evidently getting the best of her antagonist, Suddenly all eyes turned towards the entrance, and lo! a change at once came over the scene. Standing bolt upright wus a policeman, baton in hand, and with a steady look Upon the assemblage. ‘THE GAME WAS UP, and every one saw it, ad every one began crying out, “Where is the sparrmg matcn!” “When are we to have the sparring match !”” Kit, seeing that the htue game he was playing on his own hook around the pit was altogether pluyed out, raised his hands, and, in a most solemn man- | ner, assured his audience “the sparring match ts } acoming; tis is where the tun comes In; there 16 | the sparring now,” and immedtately A PLATOON OF POLICEMAN ENTERED, drew up in file an‘ look possession, m the distance, of bipeds and quadrupeds, inciuding Kit. Not a solitary mdividual now asked for the sparring match, the point of Kit’s promise being at once painiully and surprisingly personal. Every tndi- vidual in the place, meluding the HERALD reporter, wes thergrrested and 4akea to the Fourth ward station Mifise, ‘the dogs appeared unconcerned, aad wormed anc held on bo eacu other, atthough KED WITH BLOOD. Jack Jennings took a flying leap ont of the pit towards the back door, but the “bluebottle” had settied there pfore him and ‘all was up.” Captain Allaire and his men, under the direction ot Pres.dent Heary Bergh, Superintendent Camp- bell and Sidney H.
