We are permitted to publish the following letter from the widely known philanthropist and organ | izer of the Christian Commission, which did such humane service during the war—George H. Stuart. Miss Gurnsey is a highly esteemed lady of this city, Who enjoys the personal acquaintance of Mr. Stuart, and knew that that gentleman~ was thoroughly informed with regard to the habits of President Grant. Hence she addressed a note to him and received this reply :— PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 25, 1872, DEAR Miss GURNSEY—In reply to ‘ommuni- cation, in which you say “it is commonly reported here thatthe President isin the habit of getting stupidiy drunk every day. Iknow you are well acquainted with him and should be glad to have the story contradicted on good authority," Ihave to say General Grant became commander of the ricanarmy, and during his Presidency, Ihave had frequent opportunities of seeing him at the front, in social intercourse, at dinner table, in the White house aud elsewhere, and have never seen him “stupidiy drunk,” or under the influence of liquor | in any sense of that phrase. So far as my observa. | tion enables me to judge, the statements which | } | | have been so freely circulated about President Grant's habits are wholly without foundation, and A base slander ttpon the character of one to whom the country owes a debt of gratitude which can | In November next the Keystone State will record her verdict against these personal calumnies by giving Grant her electoral vote by a Majority of 40,000 to 40,000, GEORGE H, STUART. THE OIL BUSINESS, Arrangement to Stop Production tor Thirty Days—Advance in Prices Shortly Expected, TITUSVILLE, Pa., Sept. 29, 1872, Ata final meeting of the oll producers, held at Oll City yesterday, relative to the snutting down of wells, it w. unanimousiy agreed to suspend all pumping of wells and also further drilling for a period of thirty days, Resolutions were adopted prohibiting the use of Roberts’ torpedoes until aiter March next, All the districts were repre- sented at the meeting, and the feeling was unani- mous that their object will be thoroughly accom- plished. Three-fourths of the wells throughout the country were stopped at midnight last night and the balance will follow, Advan Prgces in the oil market are expected Immediate! THE FIRST RUBINSTEIN MATINEE. There was a larger audience in Steinway Hall on Saturday afternoon than we have seen there since the Nilsson matinees. They were well repaid for going there. The programme was the best, as yet, given by the great Russian ptaniat and the no less great Polish violinist, Wieniawski. No orchestra Was there, but its absence was not felt, Rubinstein commenced the concert with Beethoven's overture to “Egmont,” and next essayed the most lovely of the immortal composer's works, the never-to-be- forgotten “Moonlight Sonata,” in © sharp minor, Opus. 27, No. 2, which was erroneously calied in the Programme “Sonata Appassionata in F minor." The opening adagio sostenuto, a tone idyl which ta instinct with the true apirit of poetry, waa played by Rubinstein in a manner calculated to touch every heart. Every light and shade, every nuance of expression and the wondrous beauty of those triplets stood forth revealed, as they did seventy years ago inthe teeming brain of the composer. Then came the 84 time allogretto, about fifty bars of an expressive introduction to the bril- Uant presto agitato, which was heard for the first time tn ita true spirit. Nothing could be a more complete triumph of art than the impetuous ren- dering of this movement, A short pause ensued, broken bya song by Mile. Orment, called on the programme an aria of Handel, although we nevor knew beforo that “Una voce poco fa,’ was at all epnnected with the composer of ‘The Messiah," anda couple of charactertatic vtolin works, st- ‘bly played by Wienlawaskt. Three plano works hen came on and they wore gems, Rubinstein layed. one of those delivious nocturnes which - old John Field knew 80 well how to compose, and it was a tidbit of delicacy and poetry. The “Erl King" and the march from | “The Ruins of Athens," the pleces de resistance of the Russian pianist, followed, and so great and 80 ersistent waa the applause that (he rugged almuck face unbvended itsetf for once, and, with one of those rare things that seem so foreign to Rubinstein—a smile—the pianist actually re- sponded to the encore. The second part of the programme had one commanding featy th colossal sonata for piano and violin by Rul Itis in four movements; the dirst grand and im- ressive and abounding in enormous teclinical if- culties and in a Beethoven style of treatment; the second a cherzo of quaint trrogular measures, the third a reminiscence of Mozart in ono of the most beautiful andantes we have ever heard in a sonata, and the last a perfect whiriwind of tu- tricate passages, in which is dimly seen a Titanle subject, like the turrets of an old castle in the hurlyburly of a hurricane, As might be ex- pected from the composer, the vioiin occupies a subordinate position to the piano. Wioniawski hed not the Ge one would wish to display his raceful, finished style inthis sonata; but the lit. ie he ha. to do he did well, This sonata} might aa well be called a plano sonata with violin obligato as a sonata for piano and violin, But the loading spirit in it wag Rubinstein, and he carried of ail the honors. vt is a long, intricate work, which ust be heard often to be well understood, and the idlence gqunoy green at first hearing its numerous Sxoallenter, here ee ma} sheik of the troat bugbear which cau gO ue gonaston, and that is, wi at fs the "precise fhentlny’ of @ popular work in ooneer tg The erm popular is @ myth. An artist Gad make 8 Work popular by Giblaas repetition aud can educate an audience up to the highest standard ot art. It is a mistake to say that nursery ditties and dance tunes comprise popular music. The best classical works can become as popular as “Cham- pagne Charlie’ or “Shoo Fly,’ and Rubinstein, with his severe classical school, is gradually work- ing his way into popularity. We have heard many persons express doubts about the success of the ubinstein concerts on the score that the music was too classical for America. What is the real result? The attendance was better at Saturday's matinée than during the first three concerts, and Dow there ja p general feeling among the musical public to hear and receive instruction from such a enius, Mile. Liebhart on Saturday sang a little ted by Mendelssohn. A grand concert will be given Sonigee by the troupe at the Brookiyn cademy of Music, and on Tuesday Rubinstein plays again in Steinway Hall.

Arrival of Sata: in St. Louls—Inter- view with His People aud with Cap- tain Alvord=—The Party Going on to Washington To-Day. Sr. Lovis, Sept. 29, 1872. Satanta, Chief of the Kiowa Indians, and Big Tree, another notable chief of the same tribe, who have been temporarily released from the Texas State prison, arrived here to-day in custody, and were taken to the Everett House where other Indians were stopping. During the day all the Indians assembled tn the dining hall of the hotel, when Satanta and Big Treo were presented to them. Captain Alvord, and Robert Campbell, of the Indtan Com- mission; Enoch Hoge, Captain of the Central Superintendency, with interpreters and several citizens being present, and a council was hela, The meeting of Satanta and Big Tree was one of the most affecting scenes in the Indian history. The ordinary stotclam of the In- dians gave way entirely, and they hugged ond kissed each other, and cried tike children, Satanta made a speech, in which he satd that he felt like one risen from the dead, He referred to a talk he had had with Governor Davis, of Texas, who told him he must work hard for peace, and influence his people. [f he did this he wouid be released. Ho wanted his people and ail other Indians to be at peace with tho whites; to let Texas alone and not go on the warpath; he wanted them all to listen to what is said to them and take the white man’s road. Lone Wolf, the present chiet of the Kiowas, ex- preages great pleasure at seeing Satanta, saying he nad ior a long time tried to get his people on the ood road ; he would treasure what the Washington miy say to them and do all in his power to keep the [Indians peaceable. Milkyway, oh of the Comanches, Ke 3 Mouth, an Araphoe, and several others spoke in the same strain, all professing a strong desire to be at peace with the whites, and looking forward to their visit to Wash- ington as productive of mush good to all, Previous to the Council Satanta, in a private talk with Captain Alvord, Colonel Campbell and Super. intendent Iloge, dented he was at the massacre of Wilson's train; that there was no eyldence of his guilt produced at his trial, and that he was condemned unjustly, It 18 not in- tended to take Satanta and Big Tree to Wash- ington, but they will probably be placed in the custody of the United Statea Marshal to- morrow and heid subject to orders from Washing- ton, ‘There la @ strong desire on the part of che Indians that Satanta should be pardoned, and it is probable that if ne ia almost any desired terms reat chief at can be made with them, The party will be shown around the city to- morrow, and will probably start for Washington by the evening train, THE WEATHER.

While the engineer, whose name is Miller, was on deck, he ordered the deceased to go below and dis- | place the starting bar. The deceased, in obedience to the order, proceeded to do 80, and while in the act the engine revolved and the starting bar struck deceased across the chest and abdomen, fracturing three of his ribs and killing him instantly.

In his opinion the fauit can be remedied; bet as at the most only the life of one of Uncle Sam's sailors {s invoived, it is not ii that the persons entrusted with the power to remedy the evil will do anything til some higher pressure is sa to bear on them.

Weldon, a republican, Was convicted last Winter in the Brooklyn City Court of ballot box stufMng, while acting as inspector and can- vasser in the First district of the Sixth ward, at the November election. He was sentenced to the Penitentiary for six months and served out hts term. Weldon claimed all along that he was inio- cent, and now he has appealed to Judge Neilson, of the City Court, for a new trial, by which he is con- fident of establishing his innocence and vindicating his character. He has submitted an affidavit to the Court setting forth that, after he Was sentenced, he was accompanied to the Pent- tentiary by Alderman Dunne, of the Sixth ward, who assured him that he would be out in two weeks, and told him not to worry, They wore thelr Own clothes for about a fortnight, when word was brought that it was doubted whether the convicted Men would be released before they had served their time, Thereupon a third party, Thomas MoGit, who had also been convicted, became angry at the cold shake they had received, an\ began to tell What he knew of the ballot box sian in that dis- trict on election day. He sald he could put Dunne, Paddy Keenan (the Mayor's mossenger) and Ex- Auditor James O'Brien in their places in the Peni- tentlary, He had saved the democratic party, and he thought it was rather rough that he shonid be left in the lurch in that way. McGiff declared that A SYSTEM OF FRAUD had been carrted on for eight or nine years while he was an inspector, and there was not a may on me democratic ticket fairly elected during that ey Weldon also presented the aidavit of John McKenna, in whose store, No. 55 Atlantic street, the ~ were heid, which sets forth the manner inn hich the frauds were committed, Mr, MeKenna si The ballot boxes were brought to our store by a police- man on the afternoon of the day before election.

A serious accident occurred yesterday morning onthe Boonton branch of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western Railroad, about three miles west of Paterson. That the trains were not pas- senger trains, loaded with a cargo of human freight, with a consequent fearful loss of life, is more the result of good luck than good management. About two miles to the west of Paterson and near where this accident occurred the road abruptly turns northerly to cross the Passaic River upon the highest and most dangerous-looking trestlework in the State. In accordance with orders from the Superintendent of the road a special construction train started for the peat works, above Mead's Basin, where a BRIDGE NEEDS REPAIRING. The train was composed of a locomotive, a der- rick car in front and & construction car in the rear. The conductor and designer of the train were ordered to stop at Kingsland station. After stopping there the engineer started, with the im- pression that the track war clear. The REGULAR RATE OF SPEED for such trains is fifteen miles an hour; but, owing to a fog, the train was only run at the rate of eight miles. Some of the mechanics were on the derrick car in front, some in the rear and a couple on the engine. Those on the locomotive were the engi- neer, William W. Whittaker, John C. Wiggins, the fireman; James Nefiie, Track Superintendent, and Horace 6. Bagley. Half a mile west of the bridge above referred to the engineer suddenly discovered the light of a coal train about thirty feet ahead of him. He reversed his engine gnq Sprang be the window, thus saving nimfell with a few men on the derrick saw the dange: themselves (9 coal train. r and sayo jumping, as did al thos ot the men on the construction train seives by juwping.

For- tunately these two were the only ones killea, James NeMe, was badly bruised and injured internally. Six or seven of the workmen on the car in the rear of the locomotive were injured by being thrown from the car, but none of them seriously, The road was 80 obstructed by the débris that it took several hours to clear the track. caf wasecmpanelled and Coroner Qnin com- menced an Inquest yesterday on the bodies of the men killed. THE PANORMO MURDER MYSTERY. The Chief of the Brookiyn Police, Mr. Campbell, disclaims having authorized the publication of the facts given in these columns yesterday concerning the arrest of the thief Michael O’Brien, and decries the notoriety given the affair as highly calculated to defeat the ends of justice by warning Kane, alias “Cockney,” who is now supposed to be in Michigan, to be on the alert, It is true that the Police Commissioners recently authorized the despatch of two officers in quest of the fellow, but the detectives have not yet started, The Brooklyn “Hawkshaws" will leave on Satur- day next, and will institute a thorough search over the State of Michigan for — "Cock. ney.” The olice are determined to find him, and will spare no expense to dispel the mystery which has 80 long enveloped the murder of Professor Panormo. O’Brien de- chines to make any statement whatever concernir hisconnection with the gang of “silver thieves but asserts, coolly, that he knows nothing at ail about the murder of Panormo, of which he has been accused. He is about twenty years of age, and bears the stamp of a loaler, le says that he will be able to clear himself when the case comes to a@ trial, and prove to the satisfaction of the Court that he was in New York at the time the murder was committed, Thomas Brown, another of the gang, who occupies the same cell with O'Brien, declines to make any statement now, but says “we don’t wish to say anything now; when the time comes we will tell all we know.” He refuses to say “yes or ‘no’ as to the truth or falsity of the reports published in the press con- cerning them, YACHTING NOTES, The following yachts passed the Ir Staph station at Whitestone yesterday :— ‘Yacht Palmer, N.Y.Y.C., Mr. Stuyvesant, from ewport for New York.

While stationed at Fort Independence, Boston harbor, Lieutenant Vinton studied at the Harvard Law School, aud also served as civil engineer on several of the New England railroad lines during @ period of two or three years. He read law as well, and, atter hav- ing eyes @ creditable examination by the facult of the legal fraternity, was admitted to the Bar a! Portsmouth, N. H.,. in tho year 1834, Putting aside the toga at an early moment he took up arma again, and was engaged on military duty during the Creek war tn Georgia and Alabama in the year 1836. He resigned his commission and igus the army in 1837, Moved hy spiritual grace, Mr, Vinton next entered the gem- eral Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church, Now York, and after having completed a course in divinity,-was ordained deacon by the Right Rev. Bishop Griswold in the year 1838, He was raised to the order of priest In the fotiowing year. The Merarchical authorities ol the Church approved of his missionary effort and appreciated his talent. He was successively Rector of St. Stephens church, Providence, R.L., 1840; Emanuel chureh, Brooklyn, N. Y., 1844, and of Grace church, in the same city, 1847, He was elected Episcopal Bishop o| Indiana in the year 1848, but declined the dignity of the mitre the instant. Doctor Vinton was, however, a prominent candidate for the omee of Provisional Bishop of New York in the year 1847 and@ 1851. He failed, by one vote, to have been elected to the office, held by Right Rev. Bishop Potter, In the year 1855 he was elected an assistant minister of Trinity church, New York, and has since labored among our fellow citizens in his sacred calling with assiduity and saving effect. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Columbia College in the year 1848. Rev, Dr, Vinton has published quite a humber of occasional sermons, addresses and other of his Church utterances, and at one period of hia life filled the chair of Ludlow Professor of Kecleai- agtioal Polity and Ganon Law in the General Theo- logical Seminary.

D., 00- Surred just lately, as has been already announced briefly, at Santa Fé, New Mexico, He was bora in South Carolina, but educated at the North. He studied medicine at Philadelphia, entered the United States Army as assistant surgeon, went through the Seminole war, accompanied General ‘Taylor to Mexico, Was present at most of the bat- tles which led the Americans to the gates of Mex, ico and entered that city when it surrendered, riding with General Scott. For these services, as welll as for gallantry in action, Dr. De Leon twice re- ceived the thanks of Congress, but was again as- a to frontier duty in Mexico. When the rebellion broke out he accepted the position of chief of the medical department of the Confederate army, and was consequently responsible in a great degree for the cruel treatment of sick and wounded federal prisoners. At the close of the war he re- turned to New Mexico. WAS HE MURDERED? eves Xabi The Dead Body of a Man Found ina Yard in Brooklyn. At an early hour yesterday morning the body of a man, attired in the garb of a laborer, was discov- ered lying in the rear yard of a tenement house on the cornet of Navy and Willoughby streets, ad- Jolning Prentice’s hat factory. ‘There was, a deep cut in the vack of the deceased's head and the face was bruised, The remains were taken to the Morgue, which is within two blocks of the place where the body was found, anid the Ooro- ner was notified, Subsequently a boy visited the Fourth precinct station house, Myrtle ave- nue, and inquired’ whether the police had any information concerning his father, Patrick Quinn, who had been missing since Saturday cream. The boy was referred to the dead house, where he at sognized the dead body brought in in the as bis father. The deceased, who was forty years of age, resided at 373 Hudson avenue, where he leaves a wife.and a numerous family of children. He was employed as a laborer in’ the vy Yard, and upon leaving otf work on Saturday afternoon got intoxicated, it is supposed, Quinn was last seen alive about midnight, when he was seated on the stoop in front of a grocery store kept by Mrs. McCall, at 173 Navy street. He had a dinner can with him at the time and said that he was looking for some milk, He Paige ts of @ pain in hig head, but Mrs. McCall did not know that he was drunk at the time she saw him. Ag twee was in the way, she asked a man named Bill Sawyer, @ fish dealer, who resides in Wyckoff street, to put the man off the stoop. This was done, and Mrs. McCall saw no more of him. How the unfortunate man got into the yard where he was discovered lying dead ts a mystery, as there is a high board fence surrounding the [lias which would make it almost impossible for a man under the influence of liquor to climb over, A watch beionging to deceased was found on the body, 80 that robbery could scarcely have been the incentive to murder, if, indeed, that crime was committed, The inquest will be held as soon as Dr. Shepherd makes @ post-mortem examination ofthe body, No arrests have becn made by the police.
