CORTINA ABETTING THE OUTRAGE TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The HERALD correspondent at Brownsville has forwarded us the following special de- spatch -—~ Brownsvittz, Texas, Feb. 23, 1872. A great international question is likely to arise here, The Collector of Customs at Matathoros, who is also the special civil repre- sentative of the Juarist government, announces his intention to sink the American river steamer if cleared hence to the city of Camar- go, whioh is now in the possession of the revo- lutionists, General Palacios, commanding the govern- _ment troops in Matamoros, would refuse his sanction to this intended outrage ; but General Cortina, who was lately defeated by the revo- lutionists at Camargo and driven with the remainder of his troops into Matamoros, pro- fesses great hatred for the Americans, and readily assents to it. At the suggestion of the Collector of Mata- moros General Barney, the American Col- lector at Brownsville, for the present refuses clearance to vessels to Camargo, but has tele- graphed to Washington and is now awaiting instructions from the United States govern- ment, : If the American river steamer is eventually cleared a conflict with the Juarist authorities is certain, i Many merchants of the interior of Texas are here, and anxious to send their bonded goods into Mexico, They are urging the clearance of the vessel for Camargo as the only practi- cable way out of the difficulty, as they do not believe the bravados of the authorities of Matamoros, and want to make this a test case, Cattle stealing on the Rio Grande has vigor- ously recommenced. Droves of Texan cattle are constantly driven over the border by Mex- ican desperadoes, and great indignation pre- vails among the stock raisers. FRANCE.

A Great Expose of Bribery and Corruption im the United States Senatorial Elections of 1867 and 1871. TOPEKA, Feb, 24, 1872, The Bribery Investigating Committee have re- ported to the House to-day. The report ts long and signed by every member of the committee. It says, regarding the Senatorial election of 1867, they find much money was used by Pomeroy, Carney and Perry Fuller, bus they had not the time to niake a thorough investigation. Regarding the election of last winter the commit- tee reports a mass of evidence showing bribery and corruption on the part of both Senator Caldwell and ex-Congressman Clarke, The proof is positive that Caldwell stated his election cost him over sixty thousand dollars, and that he pald of this over ten per cent to ex-Governor Varney; that he several times offered to refund to Clarke all his expenses if he (Clarke) would withdraw trom the contest. The report also says that Alexander Caldwell used bribery aud other corrupt aud criminal practices by himself and his {rienas, with his full knowledge and consent, to secure his election to the United States Senate. ‘There was also an organized effort made from the commencement to keep important witnesses out of the way, and that it has been impossivie to procure weir evidence. Fifty thousand copies of the report and evidence have been ordered to be printed, and a copy was ordered to be sent to each Kansas Senator and to the Vice President, the latter to be laid before the United States Senate for its confirmation. The Democrai’s Topeka special, referring to the rt of the Bribery investigation Committee made to the House to-day, says that some curious facts have come to light. It seems that Senator Pomeroy and Sidney Clarke gave M. W. Reynolds, at that time editor of the Lawrence Journal, their note for $1,000 in March, 1866, in consideration that that Journal should support Pomeroy for re-election to the Senate and Clarke to Congress. Reynolds went back on them, and they refused to pay the note, Suit was brought, and Pomeroy and Clarke put in ay defence the tact that the note was given for an improper purpose, and judgment was given for the defence. Keynolds had the papers all made out to carry the case before the Supreme Court at its next term; but just before the meeting of the Court Reynolds received the appointment of Receiver of the Land Office, and the appeal was immerately dismissed. He 1s now the editor of a weekly paper which sup- ports Pomeroy’s re-election for a third term. It also came out that the President of the Kansas Pacific Railroad promised Caldwell $30,000 to help to elect him to the Senate, aud after the election re- fused to pay any more than ne had already paid, Which was $10,000, Mr. John Anderson, agent of the Kansas Pacific road at this place, aud through, whom the $10,000 were paid, and ‘who also paid out large sums besides, as testimony shows, has not been before the committee. He, with Eben Smith, business partner of Caldwell and John Fletcher and another rson, Who it was proved paid out money—to use he words of the report—were fugitives from the State. The report will cause great commotion in the State, and will show that monéy has Leen spread like water for ye: VIRGINIA.

He alludes to his eighteen months’ confinement in @ Massachusetts prison, the conditions of Is release, and that experience has taught nim the necessity in future of exercising great cautton as to ‘the locality chosen for pugilistic displays, and has thoroughly posved him as vo the nature of the laws and the penaities that govern such exhibitions in tue ditferent States of the Union.

It appears trom testimony, uncontradicted and anim- peached, that the plainuiT manufactures his gin in Holland, and puts it up in botties, with uniform and peculiar marke and labels; that ie has been engaged in business of this kind since 1861} that the name “Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,” impressed on the bottie and forming part of the labels, was devised by him to denote bis goods thus made and sold; that in the trade this name was fully recognized ag bis trade mark; that the phrase “Schieiain Schnappa” was fully recognized as his peculiar property, in that it expressed the e origin and ownership of his soods, and suggested to buy xn the Hiquor ade, tan u eral public who had occas) ported and bottled by hiv ltquor thus put was ally pin; that tt medicinal qi ties suppo by some to inhere in that kinu of distilled spirits, and that it had been extensivaiy advertised and fold by plaintiff, Itappeara, also, that the defendants had for some time been putting up and selling a gin adulter. ated with water, in botties similar in appearance to those of Plauntitl with Iubeis which were merely color Ve is of tmitations Woire” of the a iu wor's blown on the sides of the oities well calculated to mislead @ purchaser who did nob make an unusally careful scrutiny, It also appears without n that the defer ts had fmattated the Pa autt. lar way, and only It 1s not deemed necessary to review the numerous cases which have been cited in the above briefs of counsel. Some are coniticting, some depend on technical differences be- tween proceedings at law and in eauity. In others the plain- Uitt"s case was not made out by as [ull evidence as has been roduced here.
