The exhibition of this well-known collection has been looked for with uo ititle interest in art circles for some time past. Le Grand Lockwood was during his life one of Lhe most generous patrons of artin America, and had given an encouragement princely in its generosity to the production of im. portant works. The number o! pictures, however, 12 the collection Is remarkabl7 small, not over eighty, but tuey are nearly all works of peculiar merit. Uniike many of the richer collectors, Mr. Look wood extended his patronage cniefly, though by no means exclusively, to American art, and It 1s perhaps to his encouragement that we owe sucn works as Bierstadv’s “Yosemite Valley’? and Bradiord’s “Crushea in the Icebergs.” Few artists could afford 1o proauce such canvases unless they were already assured of a market, and this 13 where THE LEGITIMATE EXERCISE OF PATRONAGE best forwards the luierest of art, by allowing the painter or scuiptor full sway for his powers, uncramped by tear of want, “We must paint to | live” is the defence of many @ man who feels within lum the capacity to do better tbings, but 1s re- pressed by the dreaa that precious time may be wasted in producing work that afterwards can find no ready purchaser, Le Grand Lockwood wili ve Jong remembered in connection with the two widely Kuown works which we have mentioned. The “Yosemite Valley’ is coripiny the most striking picture In the collection. We dre inclined to tamk it the best picture ever painted by Bierstadt, or perhaps by any American artist.

George Keightley, first engineer, who was on watch when the explosion occarred, says the boat nad just struck the bar, the engines had been stop- ped, and he glanced at his waten to note the time, wien the explosion occurred with terriple force. One of the bowers was blown back to the cylinders, and the whole forward part of the boat, including the pilot house, texas and forward staterooms were scattered right and leit, The boat took fire in- stantly, and the STARTLED AND HALF-NUDE PASSENGERS who were not killed awoke to the terrible reality, But one boat was leit, and that was baaly broken. ‘The officers did ail they could to assist the passen- gers. Captain Reeder and his clerk, Henry M, Worsham, gathered together the life preservers that were left in the back part of the cabin and dis- tributed them to the half-distracted passengers, There were, it is said, but two females on board, Mrs. Constable and the chambermaid, named Wallace, HEARIRENDING SCENE—AFTER THE EXPLOSION, A special despatch from Cairo relative to tne ex- Plosion of the steamer Oceanus says that Fisher, the carpenter, describes the aceve as terrible and hearirending, Tue river around the wreck mas covered with dévris, baggage, bedclothing, beds, &c,, much of it burning.

President Saget, who has been expected to visit ‘St. Mare and Gonaives, has arrived, and holds daily levees wiih lia Ministers, He arrivea on the same day that the outbreak occurred at the arsenal, In- formation was at once given to President Saget of the existence of a conspiracy in St, Mare against the government aud tn favor of ox-Minister Solo- mon, A consultation took place as to the best means of breaking up the plans ot the conspirators, and it was decided that the leaders should be ar- rested. Among those were neral Bateilla—he was arrested by order of the President and ordered to be Linprisoned, While the guards were escorting him there the party had to pass the American Con- sul’s oMce., It so happened that the Consul was standing at the consulate door at the ume, and see- ing this to be the case, Gateliia asked permission of the guard to allow a noie Lo be given tothe American Consul tor his wie, This they refused, when Batellia made a sudden dart from the guard, and running to the American Consul claimed the protection of the United Staies fag. The guara pursued him, but the Consul refused to allow Batel- lia to be retaken, A FIGHT then ensued, and several of the guard were roughly treated. ‘The soldiers then arrested the Consul himseif, but Batellia had concealed himself in tne upper part of the consulate. They received in- siructions to return to the Consulate anu if possible arreat Batellia. After some me he was discovered in a room in the upper part of the house which was not oceupled by the Consul, he having only ms office in the lower part of the building. Bateliia Was then rearrested and locked up, In an inter- view with the United States Consul, while in prison, he staied that lls consulate was violated, aud ne Was arrested and fil-used while offering protection to Batellia, Subsequently the Consul was released, but he did not stay long in St. Mare; he hauled down his flag and left the city for the purpose of laying his case belore the proper authorities, fis only means of escape was by asmall boat, On the 20th instantthe United States warship Nantaskct left this port for Santiago de Cuba, When off the Ackeraines, two small islands about eighteen miles from here, she sighted a smail boat with @ United States flag at halt-mast, and sifnalling tor help.

A meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the Mechanics and Builders’ Exchange, 27 Park place, for the purpose of hearing the opinions of all «directly or indirectly interested im the bullding In- teresis of the city and county of New York, It was ameeting adjourned since Friday last, on which date both the builders and bricXlayers put in their claims for and against the measure, The masons “seem to think that the acceptance of the measure by them would be ruinous to their interests, tnas- much as that when eight hours were aeclared aday’s work in New York the city would be swamped by labor from New Jersey and Connecticut. However, they say they are willing to accept the measure when it is made a national affair, but not ull then. The bricklayers, on the other hand, state that to make the Eight-Hour law @ national measure is an Impossivility; that it must first nave a locus of operation, and that no point coald be more tayor- ale lor the beginning of such a measure than New York, It being the centre of Wesvern commerce and finance.

Matamoros, April 2, 1872, Though the revolution in Mexico still exists—a power for good or evil as judged by {ta adherents or opposers—yet recent events have deprived it of that cohesion which made 1t formidable and likely to cause a speedy overthrow to the Juarez govern- ment, Present appearances indicate that 1t will continue, In some shape, for an indefluite period, Yet the time and situation seem opportune for placing belore the readers of the HERALD the secret history of its Initiation, the bases upon which antclpations of success originally vested and the canses of failure, ‘The ostensible and, doubtless, real base of the revolution 1s opposition to the further continuance in power of President Juarez, who has held the reins of government for more than fourteen years, and who, as his enemies claim, aspires to do go for lite, The Pian de La Noria, which embodies the sentiments and designs of the revolutionists, contemplates little beyond his overthrow and an amendment to the constitution of 1857, pro- hibiting the re-election of prominent officers, both State and national, While this feelink of opposi- ton to the Juarez government might, and doubtless would, have resulted in revolution 1n any case, that Which exists in its present form had its initiation from quite another source. Curiously enough, it found its origin and support in tle zona libre, or free zone, established along this border, which, ia response to the representations of the United States, the Juarez administration endeavored to abolish, but which was not only continued but extended by the Mexican Congress, As is known to the readers of the HERALD, THIS FRER ZONE 13 a narrow belt of land, extending from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Pedras Negras, into which all goods are admitted free of duty, the usual duties being exacted when such goods pass out from the zona libre into the interior. Along this line the government had established a strong revenue guard, well organized, under competent leaders, mounted and armed, known as the Resguardia. Its effect was to pul an end, for the most part, to smug- gling from the border, and not only this, but to making certain sausfactory arrangements with dishonest officials, as had been the custom with merchants for so long @ time, that they con- sidered they had a prescriptive right thereto, Nevertheless, the right of the government to protect its revenues is so plain that no fault would have been found had an equal aegree of vigilance been manifested tproughout the repuoiic. Unfortunately, other avenues tor smuggling and making ‘satis{ac- tory arrangements” were left open, and the mer- chants of the northern fronuer, who were com- pelied to pay full duties, found themseives unable to compete with those who introduce thelr goods at other points and to better alvantage. Their mer- chandise remained on their sheives and in their Warehouses until ruin stared them in the face. In the absence of any regular system of taxation the Mexican authorities depend principally on the commerce for their revenues, and its influence Is correspondingly great. Among the cities which suffered most from the establishment of the kes- guardia was Monterey, the capital of Nuevo Leon, whose headquarters 1t was, The Governor of the State was GENERAL GERONIMO TIREVINO, an oMcer who had gained great reputation during the intervention as a cavalry leader—an honest man, bat little up in State craft or in the intrigues for which Mexicans are so celebrated. in Mexico it is considered the only remedy for injury lies in revolution, and ‘Trevifo was constantly beseiged by merchants representing the situation as ruinous to them, their inability to pay anything toward the support of bis government and urging him to pro- nounce, abolish the Resguardia and open the way for the introduction of goods upon equai terms with the merchants elsewhere, In the summer of 1871 he exclaimed to @ friend, “These merchants ure driving me into revolution.” ‘Treville was an intimate friend and ardent supporter of Portirio Diaz, and the leading Porfristas throughout the republic, Knowing the discoutent upon the frontier, the character of the man, his honesty of purpose, his previous Opposition to the revolution as a renedy for evils and his capacity as a fighter, opened corresponience with him, urging him tu initiate a movement in Opposition to Juarez and promising him ample support, The Governors of eight States, Whose names | am at present pro- bivied from Menuioning, wrote him numerous letters promising to throw thelr respective States iio any Movement he might initiate, and Dia himseif urged him to action and promised to re luuonize the Whole South of Mexico immediately alter. To Lrevino, thus supported, THE OVERTHROW OF JUAREZ and the consequent remedy for the evils of which dis people complained, seemed the easiest of accom- plsament The arrangement was for him to pros nounce on the 27th of September, the anniversary of ihe eniry of iturbide into Mexico and of tne con- firmauion of Mexican inaepenuence, tne others, in- cluding the eight Governors, to tollow on the loth of Uctover, He pronounced accordingly, His tirst act was to abollsn the Kesgitardia, tae oMcers and men of which Were arrested, He then set avout the organization and equipment of troops and making preparations for an attack On Saluilo, the capital of Coanuia, Which piace, after a short he took by assault on the 7th of November. The capture of this place Was @ necessity, a8 the Juarista force suationed there Was a constant menace to Monterey. Meanwiule Juarez, through his spies, which are everywhere, learned of the intentions or the disai- fected Governors, and by the movements ot hia troops prevented their acting. Diaz pronounced, and issued the Plan de la Noria, which proposes, a.ter the triumph of the revolution, the ap: pomtment from each State of three repre sentatives, who shail name a President and submit certain of the constitation to the peopie. About the 201 of November a commissioner from te Lerdistas—as the supporters of Lerao are called—with Escobedo at their head, claiming to represent a force of 20,000 men, arrived in Monterey, With propositions to Treviiio, He proposed a anion of forces to accomplish the overthrow of Juarez, and then to permit the operation of that c' the constitution which elevates the Curet the chief magistracy 1n case of vacancy.

Such is tue situavon, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. Testing the Appollate Jurisdiction of tho Court in Criminal Cases—Can the Supreme Judges Discharge Prisoners on Habeas Corpus Who Have Been Indicted by Grand Juries and Condemned by the Circuit Courts? WASHINGTON, April 12, 1872. ‘The following are the proceedings in the Supreme Court .to-day:— Ex parte Jefferson Greer, on habeas corpus to the Marshal for the district of South Carolina.—From. the return to the writ in this case it appears that Greer 1s held by the Marshal of the United States under a bench warrant issued by the Cireutt Court, upol an indictment charging a felony under the Enforcement act of 1870. Upon this state of facts the Unitea States maintain that this Court has not jurisdiction to dis- charge the prisoner, even though it inquire into the cause of commitment, and the argument 1s this:— Article 3, section 2, Of the constitution, alter defin- ing the original jurisdiction of this Court, declares that ‘dn all other cases before meutioned the Su- preme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction bow as to law and facts, with such exceptions and under such reguiauons as the Congress may by law have directed.” ‘Taus the appellate jurisdiction of the Court is lett completely Wituin the control of Cou- gress, except that it cannot be extended beyond the limits sect upon it by tne constituuon. Section 13 of the Judiciary act declares that the Supreme Court shall have appoliate jurisdiction irom the Circult Court and the Courts of the several States in cases heretnatter spectaily provided for, and the tweniy-second section makes the special provision alluded to by the thirteenth section, and expressly lumits the Operation of writs of error from this Court to the Circuit Courts to final Judgment and decrees in civil actions and suits in equity, And the second section of the act of 1803 authorizes appeas to this Court from tinal judgmeuts or decrees rendered or to be rendered in any Circuit Court or in any Dis- trict Court acting as a Circuit Court, in any cases in equity, of admiralty or maritime jurisdiction and of prize or no prize, ‘Yhe purpose of the act of 1803 was to change the mode of removing the cases there named from the Circuit Courts to this Court, and it is inferred that the intention of Congress in enacting the statutes was to exercise its constitutional power of making exceptions and regulations touching the appellate jurisdiction of tts Court and to fix the same as far as relates to judgments and decrees of the Circult Courts, An affirmative description by Congress of the appellate powers of this Court musi be understood as a regu. jation under the constitution pronibiting the ex- ercise of other powers than those described, That this court has no general appellate or revising power over the proceedings und judgments of the Circuit Courts in criminal cases 13 submitted as a proposition that admits of no doubt, and the United States vs. More (3 Crouch, 172), Uniied States vs. La Vengeance (3 Doll. 297), United States vs. Hudson et al. (7 Crouch, 32) are.cited as autnori- ues, An extended examination of the cases relied upon to sustain this view 1s then made, and it issaid tht this Court has never used tue wait of haveas corpus to discharge a prisoner In custody under a bench Warrant issued upon an indicumeni for crime found by @ grand jury iu a Circuit Court of the United States, it is submitted that the power to do this has not been asserted by this Court in aay of the cases that have been belore it, On the con- trary it 1s sald the reasoning of the Chie: Justice in ex parte Watkins—a case from the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia—oa which the prisoner Was detained by virtue of a judgment rendered ma criminal prosecution, and tne authorities cited to support it, apply with equat force to this case, In that case the Court held that the Circuit Courts are final judges of thetr dwn jurisdiction, and of all their proceedings in criminal cases, and for this reason decimed to look into the indictments to ascertain whether or not they charged offences witnin the jurisdiction of the Cireuft Court. 1, then, this Cour! canaot by habeas corpus discharge @ prisoner under criminal sentence in a Circuit Court, even though it may appear that the Court was without jurisdiction, 1t 2annot tnterfere by that writ Lo preveat the trial of a prisoner held under an indictment pending in @ Circuit Court. To do so would be to accomplish iIndirecuy that which the Court is fordidden to do directly. The Court may, peruaps, Inquire Into the canse ot commitment aud iis sudiciency; butil it ve shown, as in this case, that the party 18 committed ander ‘an indicement for crime returned by a Grand Jury ina Court of general aad Nnal jurisdiction, tnav Will be held a sufictent cause. The Habeas Corpus act of 31 Gharies LL excepts from the benetits of the writ persoas committed for felony or treason, plainly expressed in the Warrant, ay Well as persous con- victed or in execution. The indictment in uns case is for au offence Which 18 expressly declared by the act of Congress to be a felony, ‘The counsel for the prisoner maintained that the fourteenth section of the Judiciary act authorizes Unis Court 10 exercise a special appellate and correc- Uve Jurisdicuoen in such Cases of habeas corpas, with the wric of certiorari as an adjunct to 1s ap. pellate power, and that this power has been so ofien exercised by this Court that it must now be regarded as res adjudicata, The same question as to the constituuionailiy of the enforcement act 13 involved as Was presented but 10% heard in the re- recentiy dismissed Ku Klux cases, and asthe ar- gument made Iu tne briefs in those cases was then Tully given it 18 Not necessary now to repeat it In detail, bat the main points are as oilows:— ‘rhe counsel for tne prisoner conieud that the exercise of the power on the part oi the United States to protect the right of suffrage in tue coloroa citizen which 13 granied by (he recent amend- ments carries with if no power to interiere in any way With the authority of Loe State over the ques ton of suffrage, not even With the power to «is criminate by & property qualificauon, and conse- quently Congress was without authority to pass tuis act.

It is aiso said that the legisiation 1s within the righifal authority of Congress, under the clause obligating the United States to guarantee to every State @ republican form of government; asmuch as if the majority or dommant race in a State should deprive the enirancnised ireemen of the right co Vole, and Should suoject them vo the deprivation of ali civil righss, the government of a State Could No longer be said to be repuoli- can in form or substance, tts also contended for the prisoner that these amendments sould be held to apply to States aly, preventing them irom passing laws which shail abridge the righis of the Covored citizen, and tiat they do not apply to the individuals of a State, To this the government responds that the amendments apply ooth wo the peovle of the State and the state itseli, and that Congress has power to enforce them by penal legisiaion to be acdmiuistered in the Ied- eral Courts, and itis said that the enforcement or the provisions of the amendment against the peo- ple ol the States directly is iar more conservative and less an interference With the sovereignty of the States tnau any Coercion of the State government would be Svucttor General Bristow, who opened on behalf of the Caited States, was followed by ur, Staubery for the prisouer and Was succeeded by the AUorney General.

There 18 an inexplicable air of mystery about the doings of this gentlemen that it appears almost impossible to unravel, and even nig irmest adherents appear puzzled when asked the simple question, “Who 18 he?” some have known him as simple Mr. Gordon, but yeu they Say he sports a coronet on his shirt studs and a similar insignia surmounts the monogram “S, He G,” which is stamped upon his delicately perfumed note paper. He has always talked freely of his Scottish estates aud the rank of “Laird,’” which he held in his own home. The ttle of “Laird,” how- ever, can hardly be celled rank, as it 13 simply the Scottish signification for the English term of “Squire,” There are many people tn the city who acknowledge to having understood that Mr. Gordon was a lord, but it is only in a few instances that there appears to be any direct evidence of his having made use of such a title, The article in yesterday’s HERALD upon the Gor- don question was the subject of considerable dis- cussion upon the street, and there were frequent demands in the Stock Board for tae LATEST QUOTATIONS ON “CWORNER’ LOTS, The market price of this valuable real estate fluc+ tuated considerably, and it 1s said one astute bro- ker, Who got @ poiutdrom a clerk in the oMce of the Northern Pacific Rattroad that they could not give & good title, sold o large amount short, and realized a handsome profit. At five P, M, “cworner’ lots had fallen seventy-flve per cent, and there were no buyers... The lively brokers, not satisfied with real estate transactions, were also speculating upon the titles of Mr. Gordon, and an individual with the 1ich- borne developments fresh in his memory tried to make a pool to assist in proving the titles, but found such stock rather diilcult to place on the market, One prominent merchant in this city, who hag been often seen in company with Mr. Gordon, was worrled to death ail day by the incessant calla made by his friends, w no were anxious to hear tha jatest D ews about the FARL OF ABERDEEN. He, however, did not know the gentleman under that name, and stated that he had only been intro- dnced to him as Mr, S. Gordon. He Leieved that Mr. Gordon was simply a Scottish gentleman of great wealth, who had been in this country about three years, and added that Mr. Gor- don had passed some time in Portland, Maine, previous to his taking up his residence in Minnesota. He had never heard him style himseit Lord, and all ms letters that he had received were signed simply “Gordon.”) He believed that Mr. Gordon owoec & large amountof Erie stock,” Mr. Gordon has engaged as counsel Mr. Robert Strahan, member of Assembly, and nis cousin, Mr. James Strahan, These gentlemen were visited ye: terday by a HERALD reporter, wno was anxtous to ain some definite information in relation to ir, Gordon, ‘They, however, declined making any statements in regard to tier cilent, but said that he had never represented himself to be Lord Gordon or the Barl of Aberdeen. In course of conversation, however, they remarked that they believed Mr. Gordon to be possessed of large means, and the owner of 6,300 snares of Erie stock. They preferred leaving all ex- plavations in relation to Mr. Gordon uatil the matter shoulda be brought beiore the pfnee in the courts, when they stated they had bus ittle doubt tne whole affair would be cleared up and their client complotely vindicated. It appears on ‘Tuesday night when Mr. Gordon was arrested tnat amr.

Clarke had to say atout Mr. Gordon, Mr. Clarke was busily engaged on some business con- nected wii the Union Pacific Ratiroad, but kindly’ consented to answer any questions the reporter had to put, Q 1 believe you were one of Mr. Gordon's bondsmen on the occasion of his arrest the other evening? A. Yes; I was called out of my be! and came down immediately; tt was a willing matter of $87,000, and I wouid just as soon have gone security for $300,000 or $400,000 for Mr. Gordon, Q. You are intimately acquainted with Mr, Gor- don? A. Well, I was introduced by an intimate friend, @ gentieman of well-known standing in business circles, and I have every reason to belleve eee Gordon is @ Scottish gentleman of great wealth. Q Under what name have you known Mr. Gor don? A. Iwas introduced to him as Mr, Gordon Gordon, and I beiteve he 13 a Scottish laird; I fancy he Wears & coronet on his shirt studs. Q, Do youthink that he isa tiled gentleman? A. He never told me so, but I should imagine, from his conversation, that he must have sat upon the Bench; he 1s in the nabit of using certain technical expressions Which my legal experience has led me to believe could only be familiar to one Who has sab upon the Bench, Mr. Clark then stated that he thougnt the whoie affair was only some difficuity between Gould and Goragn in relation to some trausactions in Erie stock. Yesterday there were a great many calls made at the Metropolitan Motel and numerous inquiries for Mr. Gordon, but that gentleman was NON EST INVENTUS, having gone to spend the day at Tarrytown with nis friend Mr. Roberts, He was expected back late last night or brig eens Morning. Mr. Marsh, the room clerk of the Metropolitan Hotel, generously vouch. saied the following information in regard.to Mr. Gordon since he arrived at their house:— Mr, Gordon arrived at the Metropolitan Hotel on the 20th of February, and registered himself “dor- don, Eng.” He was assigned to parlor 110. He Was accompanied by Mr. Beiden, of the firm of Fisk & Belden, of Wall street, acd was recommended to the proprietors of the hotel by that gentieman. He seemed always to have plenty of money, and has paid his hotel bills regularly io date. He said that he owned stock in Erte, and that be possessed land in Minnesota and intended to purchase some along the line of the Northern Pactflc Railroad. He said he had his money ready for the purchase, but there was some delay about the land grants; he didn’t know what. Hoe preseuted Mr. Marsn, ot the Metropolitan, with a set of diamond shirt studs, and feed the servants who waited upon him very liberally. Otherwise he was not particularly lavish wito his money, Mr. Marsh wears the shirt studs now a8 incontrovertl. bie evidence of the truth of this proposituon. Mr. Gordon had few acquaintances when he first. arrived, but he soon attracted others. Jay Gould was one of tue many gentlemen who called to see: him. Tom Scott, Who was introduced to him. by Mr. Greeley, came one morning and took. breakfast with him, Mr. Roverts, on South street, took a liking to him, and the “Lord spent all day yester~ aa at Mr, Roberts’ residence at Tarrytown, on the Hudson, Some one incimated to the gentlemen connected, with the hote! that Gordon was a lord.
