The annual mecting of the Union Pacific Railroad stockholders was Weld at thelr rooms, in this city, to-day, The attendance was quite large, but there was not much interest or excitement, and the pro- ceedings were universally harmenieus.

TRE KRVGING OF THE MISSOURI RIVER. ‘The want of « bridge over the Missouri river, ai Omaha, Yo connect the Eastern railroacs with the Union Paciiic, bas been one of the most annoying incidents connected with the trip to California.

The amount of ores to be sent over our road to smelting works east and in England is estimated to be from 300 to 1,000 tons dally ; while the machinery and supplies necessary to deve.op successfully and prottably the mines will givea very large westward business to our road. Our prospects of business from Salt Lake City and us viciniiy are very encouraging; and I shail be greatly disappointed if it shall” not be more tian duuble what it was last year.

The Philistine Hubite’s Version of the Affair. Boston, March 8, 1871, The Attic Hub ts all ablaze to-night over the expected revelation of Fisx, Jr.’s ancillary specu- lation in the case of Gray va, Fisk, The graphic account of the blonde colonel’s views on the matter which appeared in the HERALD of yesterday laid your correspond- ent under the immediate necessity of furnish- ing the other side of the question, which a gratefrg public can now read for their information aaa amusement, How the matter of Jubilee Jim’syar. rest came about can be told in not very many Words, Some time during the month of June, 1869, th4s Mr. Gorham Gray, a Boston Yankee and a MAn the peer of Fisk, loresaw that cotton was to be less a drug than ever before dvuging the modern histosy of the American univerep, except- ing, peruaps, the early days of the rebel'fion. There Was, In fact, so little in the market that Ae conceived the idea of gathering in the whole batc). ot a limited crop, and thus make prices to suit h/mself and in- herit AN EVERLASTING FORTUNE, Mr. Gray first had communication with one of the Rhode Island Spragues, then with Commodore Van- derbilt, and then with Mr. Stewart, of New York, ana Mr. ‘Libby, one of the confidentials of Mr. Stew- art’s numerous establishments, With nene of these | gentlemen was Mr. Gray able to arrange, although At is stated that his proposition was favorably enter- tained by ali, the only difference being as to some of the minor details 1n proceeding. Jim Fisk was next approached, and when he had heard the theory of Mr. Gray he readily assented to it, and finally ADVANCED SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, Which amount was immediately invested in cotton toward the purchase of “futures.” The arrange- Incnt at this time was that more money would be forthcoming from Mr. Fisk for the buying up of “‘spots,’’ as well as of all “futures.” A definition of these scemingly incoherent terms 1s to the effect that ‘‘spots” means all the available cotton for 1m- mediate delivery, and “futures” means contracis for the commodity ai a certain price, to be delivered at a specified time. The sixteen thousand dollars aliuded to having been invested according to the lowed a sudden panic in financial matters, and MONEY WENT UP TO HALF PER CENT A DAY. Now, pending ts mse of interest on lucre, Mr. Gray had bought up all the available cotton, “spots” and futures,” in the market, and he was depending upon Mr. Fisk to furnish him the money to meet his obligatiovs when the eventful and cus- tomary tenth day of credit should arrive. Gray went to Mr, Fisk and told him this. Fisk replied money was half per cent per day, and ne couldn't do any- thing. Gray left m sorrow bordermg on insanity. In the middle of the same afternoon he got a letter from the Erie office asking him to meet the Prince at the dock of the Fali River and Boston boat at tive o'clock. Gray went there and Fisk told him to be at the Opera House the same evening. Gray again complied with the request. He found Fisk and Gould in one of the private boxes; he sent in his cay Fisk sent for him to come in; he went in; Fisk said it was a good show, aud so did Gould, and Gray assented to all. Finally Gray wanted to know what his admiralty or colonelship imtended to do about advancing money for the cotton. Fisk told hima he and When they got to the front of the door Jubilee Jim said, “Hvid on @ minute, I want (to see this act and then we Wil go out and taik over this business.” Gray took a seat, the act Was fimisiied and so were a couple of others, and fisk said nothing. GRAY GOT * MAD AS BILAZES,”” and left the Grand Opera Hous without even bidding Jim good evening. Mr, Gray went straight to We Homan House, where Fisk was stopping, and left a note containing language to the effect that he must have ihe money to pay for that cotton, as he had been promised, or he should take ans tw protect — his vedit as best he could. Not hearing from Fisk the next morning the Boston coitun speculator wriggled arouud and sold what he could on the best terms he could, Tue | second day, as migut be supposed, the Eriepressible found out What Gray was doing, and he SENT AN AMBASSADOR to Mr. Gray, with a letier of introduction. The bearer Of proposais Was an immense man, phys caily speaking. He Was six feei, sure, in his stock- ings. He said he was iu search of a thousand bales of cotton, and he wanted it for Jim Fisk. Gray told ium allright aud wanted to know how and where lie would have it delivered. The big man said the Ene teams would come after it, and when it was delivered to them he assumed the responsipility. jray then wrote an order for the thousand bales, before passing it over, said, “I suppose you got Mr. Fisk's check fer about the amount the cotton Will come The giant, convuised with jauguter, said:— ‘OH NO, NOT MUCH.” Gray, as may be supposed, Was somewhat sur- prised, but when he tad recovered from it he told his interviewer to give his and say to him that When ie sent proper security he would be happy to supply him with cotton. The large man left With Mr, Gray's message, aud, duripg the latter part of the same day, Mr. Gray was in- formed by another emissary that Fisk wished to see him at his ofmice. Gray thought the matter over, ana finally conciuded that Prince Erie might have relented, and he, taerefure. concluded to wait upon him. He wended his way to the Grand Opera House, and, as the story goes, Fisk, Without saying 4s much as “How are your” jumped up from Ls desk, ex- claiming— “YOU ARE A D—D PRETTY FELLOW,” a compliment wiich Gray probably returned, With- | out much sociability the couple proceeded at ouce | to business. Fisk suid he could not supply runds lor the purchase of cotton while money was a half per cent per day, and wanted to Know what Gray was going to do. The latter told him he had “already done;? that Le had borrowed money te meet his obligations at the usual rates of interest, notwith- standing the ruling price on the street. There was a briet but unimpertant conversation after this, and the resuit of 1 wus that, to use the phrase of a well known boston Irishwan, they both ‘separated together.” GRAY MANAGED TO PAY FOR HIS COTTON promptly on the day of his obligations, aad _imme- diately aiter he rendered his account to Mr. Fisk, in wuich be clanmed a balance of loss of $1,200 due bin on account of a breach of contract wy not failing to supply funds for the payment of the cotton con- tracted for pending tie rise in money. Gray de- landed this umount and Fisk refused to pay it, but in a few days sent one of hts men to uray to ex- amine the amounts. The later refused an examl- nation, except by Fisk, until he was satisiled tuat the man he had sent was net the Erie Priuce’s legal attoruey, and he sent him a letter to this effect. Hoving sent the letter Gray reflected and revolved the matter in bis mind, and dnally came to the con- clusion that PISK MEANT TROUBLE. So he went and saw his attorney, meaning to be the Urst in tue upceriam fleid of the law and courts. ‘rhe result of Uns Was that the next day Gray brought A SUIT OF $200,000 AGAINST FISK Jor a breach of contract. A few days alter, while sitting in an office in New York, Mr. Gray was Waited upon by the same mammoth individual whom Fisk bad sent to him to buy cotton a ‘ew weeks before. He said he wanted te see the certifi- cate of deposit ior the $16,000 which Fisk gave for the purchase of cotton when the speculation was entered upon. Gray said he dia not have it with hum, but referred him to the Trust Company, where the funds were deposited, and where he could be satisfied of the fact. The big man would not be sat- istied with this, but demanded the certificate of de- posit. Mr. Gray being undble to comply with the demand an officer, Who was wailing outside with the necessary papers, was called in, snd MK. GRAY WAS MADE A PRISONER, the specified charge against him being tue obtaining of $16,000 on false pretences, all of which was to the effect that he took the money to buy cotton aud did not ap) ah net iv in the manner as stated. The officer tone, ray to the City Hall, in New York, where some of lis friends gave the necessary bonds of $16,000 lor his appearance to answer to the charge mentioned above. Tke bonds were accepted, but the official in charge said he should be obliged vo hold Mr, Gray for ten days, until the bondsmen were ound to be good. Gray now opened his eyes, The idea flashe@ upon him that Fisk wanted him caged under ail circumstances. Necessity is someumes the mother of tavenuon, and it proved to be so im this case, Gray sent one of his bondsmen for his lawyer, with directions for the latter to bring a certified check of $16,000, and when these camé (as they dia imime- diately) Mr. Gray was liberated. ‘Tbe bondsmen Were subsequently pronounced good, the check was reiuuded and from that day to tms the case has siumbered in the New York courts, MR.

During a conversation with a Herap reporter Collector Murphy ridiculed the idea of Senater Fen- ton assuming the part of a reformer, He said he ‘Was quite indifferent as to whetber the resolution introduced by his persistent antagonist passed or not, As far as the emoluments are concerned, con- tinued Mr. Murphy, 1t is well known that the posi- ton of Collector is of NO PECUNIARY ADVANTAGB to me. He believes that Senator Fenten was sadly disappointed by the failure of the Congres- sional investigation, and out of personal hostility to him and the administration had presented the motion for the reorganization of the Custom House. He (the Collector) BELIEVES IN PARTY APPOINTMENTS. ‘With regard to the Appraiser’s Department Mr. Murphy says that he bas no responsibility for the exisling abuses or power to remedy them. The Ap- raiser acts independently of the Collector, who is ty law beund to issue an order for the reappraise- ment of goods on application by the importer. It is, however, for the Appraiser to determine | whether and’ in what proportion an abdtement for damage saould ve allowed by the government. ‘He (the Coliector) has no veice im the matter. It 15 all left to the discretion of the Appraiser, except in cases where the proportion of dainages adjudged exceeds fifty per cent, When tue papers are submit- ted lo the Secretary of the Treasury, who, however, almost invariably confirms the decision of the Ap- raiser. PiCollector Murphy contends that the system of DRAWBACKS OUGHT 10 BE ADOLI-UED ALTOGETHER. Being asked about the truth of his rumored resig- nation, the Coljector only smiled contemptuously, and bis special Deputy, Terwilliger, significantiy remarked that he thought Mr. Murphy would remain in office for some time.

Murpbyites aud Greeleyites in Coun. cil—They Agree to Disagree. The sub-committee of the State Central Commit- tee and the Horace Greeley committee met last even- ing at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. O1 the former the following members were present:—Mr. Opdyke, Mr. Ramsey, Mr. French, State Senator Crowley, Surveyor Cornell and Mr. Vandercarr. Horace Greeley, Mr. Sinclair rousey, General Cochrane and Mr. Howe represented the Republican General Committee. A general conversation ensued relaing to the reorganization of the republican party in the The State an city. The two committees, how- ever, failed to agree concerning the moJe of this end. The Greeleyites Ce advocated half measures in opposition to the other side, which is for weeding out what they call Tam- many influence by striking all those republicans who are suspected of having any affiliations with Tammany Halil from tae lists of the republican or- ganizations. In consequence of the dissonance between the two commitrees lively times may be anuctpated between the Murphyites and Greeleyites at to-morrew’s meeting. It is doubtful whether any agreement will be effected betweeo the adherents of these two republican leaders. The sub-committee Of the State Central Committee has, however, drawn up a report favering reorganization and submitting 4 pian for carrying out its propostilon. The members of both commitveés separated ata very late hour. SHIPPING NEWS. Almanac for New York—This Day. 6 22 | Moon riges....eve 9 03 6 00 } High water.morn 10 09 OCEAN STEAMERS.
