GOBTCHAKOFF SNUBBED THROUGH. CATACAZY TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALO. The Heratp correspondent at the Russian capital has forwarded us the following special despatch :— Sr. Pzrerspure, Jan, 11, 1872. The noteof the Imperial Chancellor, Prince Gortobakoff, to Mr. Curtin, the United States Minister at) St. Petersburg, with regard to M. Catacazy, has been published in the Messager Offeie. (newspaper), which is an unusual course for the Russian government, and has been adopted in order to. express resentment ‘at the treatment and peremptory dismissal of M.Catacazy by President Grant and Secre- tary Fish. THE NOTE. The following is a correct translation of the aote, which is published in French :— “M, Constantine Oatacazy, Envoy Extra- ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, has been ordered to come back to Riissla as soon as His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexis had taken his departure from the United States. “M, Catacazy was at the same time informed that he will not return to the post of Wash- ington, but that his recall will be final, in com- pliance with the request of the United States government. DISOQURTESY TO OATAOAZY. _ The government of his Imperial Majesty regrets that the painful affair. did not termi- nate with this, as it was reasonably to be ex- pected. The acquiescence by the imperial govern- ment of Russia in the request of Secretary Fish ought then, by the rule of courlesy bo tween two friendly nations, to have been con- sidered as a final settlement of the question, In the subsequent correspondence on the part of Secretary Fish there was, however, neither sufficient attention nor proper respect shown toa Russian Ambassador performing Gutles such as he hada right to expect from the government at which he was accredited. OHARGES REFUTED BY OATAOAZY. “The letter of Secretary Fish presents serious though vague complaints against M. Catacazy, and thus invites the imperial Cabinet to judge the conduct of its representative. “In the opinion of the government of His Majesty the Emperor, M. Catacazy has sati factorily refuted maay of these complaints ; on the others the imperial Cabinet will deliver its Judgment when M. Catacazy has had fall liberty to present his case. “The imperial Chancellor hopes that justice is aufficiently understood in the United States not to expect it before. ” SAROASM AND INSOLENOR, The tone of the whole note is one of studied ingolence and of resentment against President Grant and Seoretary Fish. It is certain that Prince Gortchakoff has lost his temper at what, as he privately ex- pressed, he considers an insult to Russia, A OURIOUS REVELATION, There is good ground for stating that in all probability M. Catacazy offly obeyed the orders of his government; that in his conduct with regard to the Peikins claim and his attempt to prevent the conclusion of the Treaty of Washington he followed out to its full extent the instructions of Prince Gort- chakoff. Thus the Oatacazy catastrophe is a rebuke to the imperial Chancellor himself. OQOOL RELATIONS. Notwithstanding the defiant reproof to the Gaited States government the note of the Prince closes with expressions of continued amity, It is, however, an unquestionable fact that there is a decided coolness in the relations of the two governments.

Thé council fires ard once more blazing and the warriors returning from buffalo hunting have kindled beacon fires in the Passes of the mountaing, Last evening Fourteenth street, in and around Tammany Hall, was filled with the warriors of the different tribes, their faces dauped with war paint and their bodies tattooed With the signs of the big medicine men of tne diter- ent trives. THE RED MEN OF THE FOREST, Every tribe was tully represented in the vast crowds that choked the street inthe entrance to the hall. There were Pawnees, Pequots, Mo- hicans, Blackfeet, Sioux, Apaches, Narragan- setts, Ojibbeways, Shawnees, Cherokees, Miamis, Iroquois, Algonquins, Comanches, Seminoles, Senecas, Wyandots, Hurons, Mohawks, Dela- wares, Chippewas and Onondagas, assembled the Councii of the Thirteen Fires, But the Great Spirit was not among the tribes last nignt, for the heavy doses of frewater taken by the braves during the day had made them feel so frisky that it ‘Was with dificulty that the police preserved order, THE SACHEMS SCALPED. The card signed by seven out of thirteon of the Sachems of Tammany Hall, which appeared in yes- terday’s HERALD, created the most intense excite- ment among the Tammany Hall politicians in the city during the'day, and threats were made bythe active workers in the organization that they would take possession of the hall, no matter what hap. pened. This card was signed by seven of the Sa- chems, as follows:—James B. Nicholson (Huron tribe), who is Father of the Council; Isaac Bell (Seneca tribe), Emanuel B, Hart (Pawnee tribe), Matthew T. Brennan (‘The Man-Who-Eats,” Seminole tribe), Samuel B. Garvin (“The Man-Who-Pigeon-Uoles- the-Papers,” Shawnee tribe), Douglas Taylor (“Big Thunder,” Iroquois tribe}, Nathaniel Jaryis (*‘Hole- in-the- Wall,’ Mohican tribe), WAR PAINT. There are thirteen Sachems and a Grand Sachem in the Tammany Society representing the Thirveen ouncil Fires, or the old original thirteen States, Six of these eachems did not sign the card which closed Tammany Hall to the General Committee, The six who did not sign are as follows:—Joseph Dowling, Pequot tribe; Jonn J. Bradley, Sioux tribe; Peter B, Sweeny, Apache trive; William M, Tweed, Comanche tribe; A. Vakey Hall, Blackfeet tribe, and Charles G. Cornell, Miami tribe, To keop order Superintendent Kelso—who is an Alabama Indtan—had five hundred of his blue- coated warriors, all armed to the teeth and carrying dreadful war clubs in their hands, stationed around Tammany Hall and inside of the building. Que of the first of the warriors to pass through tho gauntiet or the blue-coat warriors was Mr. Morgan Jones, who belongs to the Choctaw tribe, followed by Mr, John Pyne (the Man-Wano-Thinks), belonging to the Chickasaws, NO BUFFALO MEAT, Pat Callaghan, @ member of the Flat Head tribe, and Con. Desmond, a big warrior of the Piegan tribe, soon followed, and presented their tickets to tne surly janitor, who took them as il they were hot coals that would endauger his fingers, Just before this & Mandamus had been served on Super- intendent Kelso by the great Chief Elk-squa-taw-wa, otherwise known as Judge Barnard, and the doors were compeiled to fy oars at the sight of the papers. Superintendent Ke'so, who was only too glad to receive the mandamus, and had waited for half an hour, no sooner saw it than he gave a war whoop and the crowd of braves in the street, Who had wildly becn chanting the death song in the street, expecting to be burned at the stake and tortured by the squaws, no sooner saw the lines of the biue-coated warriors open than they poured into the hall with @ shout and rusired to take seats on the benches and ihe stage, the piace of meeting chosen being iu the hall iormerly occupied by Bry- anv’s Minstrels, NO WAM?UM FOR THE SEMINOLE CHIEF, The big Seuijuole Chief Matthew 1. Brennan, who tried to shut the doors of tie ‘hall in the faces of tue young warriors, was not present, and lis braves nad left their hatchets behind in their wigwams for their papooses to piay with, and they looked ag if they had been on a@ big buffalo hunt and had got no meat. in thelr rage they abused the Great Spirit, Gitchi-Manitou, and swore tley would take mapy scauips when the great Council shall be held next Novemver. Jimmy Hays, the Little Creek Chief, was on hand early, with Thomas Coman (the Man-Who-VPuts-Up-Jobs, a Penobscot Indiau) and Colonel Mike ped Who expected to throw Terry Duify out, were all working and giving away belts of Wampum and beads of glass to the squaws to get weir good will. The Sachems were badly beaten by the Sagamores and Wiskinskies, and every one saw at a glance, when they found that Coman was chairman of the Committee on Contested Seats, tat Brennan was destroyed by the hatchet which the Pequot chief, Dowling, had barted in his brain, A BIG MEDICINE MAN TAKEN PRISONER. Charles G. Cornell, the Miam! Medicing Man, was floored by the Oneida brave, John Winthrop Chan- ler, who had at his back Tom Creamer, a powerful Onéida warrior, Mike Healy, a Tuscarora, and John Stacom, a Winnebago brave, were both jubilant at the success o! Dowling, who gives much wampum and fire water to the warriors, and Jim Collier danced the corn dance at the ciose of the meeting. Brennan never met such @ defeat before, and on every side and at every call of the yeas and nays the hand of the great Comanche warrior, William M. reed, nis Medicine man of the Pottor wattamie ibe, Harry Genet, was visible, Altogether this was the greatest pow-wow ever witnessed in the old Wigwam, the Sachems Who were not present and the Patner of the Council their teeth when they read of the scalps that have been taken in this morning’s HERALD. Big Judge beg P (“The Man Who Walks”), a Huron Indtan, lost his scaip'last might, the warrior who took it being known to fame as Joun H. Masterson. Scenes In and Around the Wigwam. Just as the city offices were about to close yester- day the rumor spread about that the delegates elected to the General Committee were about to force their way into Tammany Hail in the evening, and that there was every prospect of a high and lively time, The report was extensively discussed around the City Hall, and the general impres- sion see.ned to ne that the Sachems had made a big mistake, and that if the tribes took the warpath that they would easily CAPTURE THE BIG WIGWAM. Later in the day @ report begaa to gain ground that a caucus of the warriors had been held, witn Harry Genet in the chair, and that active measures were to be the order ot the duy, Or, rather, of the night. This last rumor produced even a greater sensa- tion than the first, and those who were hitherto incredulous about the rebellion began to ac- Knowledge that it was just possible that the dele- gates would hold the meeting whicn was rightfully called by the Chairman of last year’s General Com- mittee in accordance with the rules of ihe Tammany ; rae The real fact, namely, that the delegation r PROCURED A MANDAMUS from Judge Barnard commanding tne Sachems to give adinission to Tammany Hall to the delegates to et Na lave OF Ue posits was elected oe @ c was known very FW Quiside the, Welecates themeclved, the acyou, of the Sachems tn éxciuding the iatier was gene- rally considered most arbitrary by Tammany men, and those who were unaware thata manda- Mus had been issued tnd! in pleasing ‘VISIONS OF : CALP-TAKING on the steps Dan Bryant's of what was formerly Hail. In fact, in some of the waras it took all the persuasive powers of the elders of the tribes to pre- veut the more bloodthirsty from giving the war- Whoop loag before the time for action arrived. Superintendent Kelso was posted early in the afternoon as to the probabilities of a desperate con- ao and forthwith issued orders to his captains to FIVE HUNDRED MEN in and around the building which was about to be besieged, The captains in turn issued orders to their sergeants to pick out their men and order them to fully equip and prepare for a sharp but de- cisive action. The men aid as they were told, and in @ short time mustered, sully equipped, but without rations, Whea taey had tailen into line each of the captains ad- dresged them in @ brief but pathetic 8) a; Te- minded them of their pepstatin, thetr tried bravery, &c.;and, mildly reminding them of the existence of & Board of Police Commissioners who, beiore now, have given $80) for a biackeye received by an officer in the discharge of his duty, on a late trying oc- casion, gave the word to march, and MAROH THE’ DID, and by six o'clock Tammany Hall’ was in the hands Of the “cops.” When the various contingents nud arrived Captain Copeland took them in nand, Skir- mushers were thrown into Union square and Fourth avenue.

Scarcely had Superintendent Kelso turned his back when @ man of diminutive stature was seen STEALING AROUND THE CORNER of Fourteenth strect and Third avenue in a most suspicious manver. He was followed by five or six. others, aud the crowd halted on the opposite side of the street, rigit im tront of the officers, Here they conierred for a ume, and the little man at last crossed the street. “Look out for that man! shouted one officer. The “cops” gripped thetr clubs more firmly, quieuly waited nis ar pecaaty but were considerably dis- usted to find that it Was only Warden Siacom, of e Tombs. By this time admiring crowds, attracted by the flue appearance of the CUSTODIANS OF THE PUBLIO PEACE, began to assemble. ‘The crowds were at first awed into silence, but “familiarity begets coutemot,’? and it was not long before sundry wittt- cisms began to be irdulged in st the ex- nse of the force, ‘The latter at first looked ferce, ut it was no go, and finally they took it very good humoredly. About six o'clock Judge Dowling, Morgan Jones, George Middleton aud Lawyer Price arrived from the Sixth ward and were soon followed by Assem- blyman Hayes and a large contingent ‘from the Fourteenth ward. When Mr. Hayes, who came all the way from Aibany to attend the Meeting, pulled up at the door, he putled something Out of his pocket and boldly ascended the stairs, ‘This plucky action produced expres. sions at admiration from the crowd outside, who rather astonished at his boldness, He KNOUKED FIRMLY AT THE DOOR, which was immediately opencd by the janitor. “Here you are,” said Mr. Healy. “Al right,” said the janitor, and he received a formidable looking document.
