Gambetta’s political jtour and specches in the Provinces, and the as- Baults recently made on the pilgrims who continue %o flock to Lourdes to witness the miracle of the (Virgin were regarded by some of the members as Jikely to lead to trouble, § President Thiers expressed indignation at the Outrageous treatment of the pilgrims, which he re- warded as an attack on the Catholic religion and ‘the national form of worship. He warmly con- ‘demned the course of M. Gambetta, who, he said, ‘was trying to divide the nation and render the Position of the government abroad more dificult. M Thiers, who seemed to be inclined to break with the “Left,” still clung to the Republic, and his positive declarations in favor of tnat form of fovernment were received with laughter by the Aonarchists of the Commission. ; OFFICIAL FROWN FOR THE BONAPARTES, The report that Prince Napoleon intended to re- turn to France and possibly resume his residence ~ fn Paris was also considered.

Interview with the Prosident and Secretary of State—Depredations of Mexican Cattle Thieves—The Notorious Cortina and His Bandits—The Free Zone a Place of Refuge for the Robbers—Troops Required for the Protection of Texas. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1872. Colonel Thomas P. Robb, of Georgia, and Major Richard H. Savage, of California, members of the Border Commission, arrived here this morning from Brownsville, Texas, and during the day called upon the President and had a long conversation with reference to their late investigation into Mex- ican outrages upon our citizens in Texas and their forthcoming report. They are to mect the Prest- Gent again to-morrow, the conference to-day being interrupted by the preasure of other business upon the Executive. Mr. Fablus J. Mead, of Mississippt, the other Commissioner, did not accompany his Colleagues to Washington, bat will rejoin them here alter spending twe or three weeks at home, in Natchez, The Commissioners, who were ap- pointed by virtue of an act passed during the late seasion of Congreas, left New Orleans for the Rio Grande frontier on tne 4th of July and remained there till within the last two weeks. They sat at Brownsville, Rio Grande City, Ringgold Barracks and Rockport, and have brought back as the result of their labora and in addition to a vast fund of personal information a great quantity of testimony, taken chiedy in border Spanish, and reduced to English by themselves with the aid of the army interpreter at Fort Brown. The earlier part of this testimony relates to the general stato Mf affairs along the Bravo, as the Rio Grande is cesta ed, and the responsibility of Mexi- iclals of all grades therefor, The rest con- stitutes the ample proof of asmall part of the in- dividual logses of the Texan rancheros that Mexico in some manner Will have to pay. CORTINA AND THE HOME OF THE OATTLE STEALERS, The country between the Bravo and the Sierra Madre, varying from twenty-five to seventy-five miles in width, and const tuting what is known as the Free Belt, is the home of the cattle stealers, who enjoy the powerful protection of General Juan Cortina, of the Mexican army, who has large ranches on both sides of the river, though he does not venture to visit his Texas property tn person. Cortina was retired from active service by his government some two years ago, at a time when the H&RALD was directing public attention to the injuries inflicted on our citizens by his bandit ty ameasure which, though intended to raigdg he government from Tes"Shsibility for UL acts Adorded BQ TA\er to the plundered Texans, He has lates: heen again assigned to service, and ts under- oO stood oradpt ing a force with which to collegt and guard ear ¢gattle for the Mexican troops, who aré short of suppliés mn ev2seauence of the severe drought of the past summer, Moreen ~ wore SFOURIVY QF TUR PREEBOOTERS, e fy "Saadh y @ participation of himself and the various State and municipal ofticers in the profits of the plunder from Texas the exican and Indian cattle thieves are secure from the moment they roach their own side of the river with the stolen herds of horses or beeves, Er seated WAM little stock being raised on the Mexican ranches, whose Owners are mostly poor and lazy, and the Mexican revenue system levying ayties on export, only, the freebooters have a lucrative Market for tiglr aptured droves. It is ay when some cnergetic Texan traces the thieves an his property 0 Matamoros or Camargo that a show of administering justice 1s made by the Alcalde, but the stolen cattle are never recovered nor the robbers ever punished. . THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT POWERLESS, It is conceded by all with whom the Conmission- ers have conferred that the central government 1s powerless, even If well disposed, so that the dispo- sition of Legh MG Cat 1s not regarded as being a queeeen of much practical consequence. Tne only effective aid that it could give towards the suppression of the depredations would be to grant the repeated application of our own government for permission to follow the marauders into the free belt whenever their trail was struck by our troops; and these requests it has always refused or evaded, it is understood that as @ measure of immediate relief the Commissioners will urge the picketing of the river by a jarger cavalry force than the detach- ment now there, with, perhaps, a few steam launches to be kept on the river as a part of the customs establ'shment. But such an arrangement could not be accepted as a final remedy for the present insecurity of life and prop- erty; and the Commissioners will, in ail probability, fallin with the popular demand in Texas for the extension of our frontier from the Rio Grande to the Sierra Madre, including the mountain itself, which is reputed to be plethoric in gold and Allver, and which, if we only held the base, would still atiord a safe refuge for the banditt. INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT, The Commissioners are not very communicative concerning their interviews to-day with the Prest- dent and the Secretary of State, but they seem exceedingly well pleased with the reception given to themselves and their views at the White House, and intimate that, 60 far as they are concerned, the hopes of indemnity and security raised by their presence ee 2 the people of Texas will not be disappointed when publicity shall be Ms to the report they are to prepare and submit | the information of Congress on their return from brief visits to their homes. The economical organi- zation of the Commission for whose expenses but $6, 000 were appropriated, afforded them neither secre- tary, ites thes Man! nor interpreter, in consequence of which | the work of collecting information, hearing testimony and reducing it to writing ‘ell upon themselves, and their detatled notes are not as (ull as might be desired. PEELING ON THE BORDER, The prevailing hope of the settlers, that they may return to complete their investigations, will prob- ably be taken into consideration here, and should they go back for that purpose the President may conclude to withhold any decisive action or recom- mendation to Congress til further evidence and information are secured. But the Commissioners themseives are confident that the licy instituted in the passage of the resolution of Congress under which they were appointed will not eventually fall to materially advance the solu- tion of our pending Mexican question, and they acknowledge the great services ot the HERALD and other journals in evoking a public sentiment to the support of whatever proper steps may be taken by the government iv defence of the lives and property of our citizens on the Bravo, The various articles in the HERALD on the subject have been read with ag and widely circulated iu the troubled dis- trict, GREELEY IN BALTIMORE.

Horace Greeley delivered an address velore the Maryland State Agricultural and Mechanical So- | ciety to-day, at the Fair Grounds, treating espes cially of the improvement of worn-out lands, About twelve thousand persons were present. To-night there was a grand torchlight procession by democratic clubs from ali the wards, which was reviewed by Mr. Greeley. of the procession Mr. Greeley addressed an im- mense crowd, congregated in front of Carroilton Hall, as follows :— CITIZENS OF MARYLAND—I greet you as cowork- ers inacommon cause—tie cause of our whole country and every part of it, the cause of every race and every class in that country, I plead for national reconciliation. I plead for the restoration of common rights to every citizen now deprived of them, (Enthusiastic cheering.)

Let us be one people—an American people— forgetting our differences, depioring our past calamities and resoived that we shall evermore be a united and harmonious people. For that cause of national unity and prosperity I stand and te-tify. 1 beseech you, let nothin, discourage you, to press on to that triumph whic! will certainly be accorded us, if not m the near future, at a later day, Our cause is just, Let ua never doubt, then, that «generous people will ac- cord it, and that time shall write our memories green in that we never dospaired of our country, never deserted her and never wished to make one citizen the enemy of the other.at a time when there was too much bitterness, but plead ior peace and reconciliation, ‘“Hlessed are the peacémakers.” Let us endeavor to deserve and enjoy that blessing, Frienda, 1 not reach you with my voice, and, therefore, will close.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE RACE, For two or more weeks the rough weather yaohtamen of the New York Yacht Olub have talked of and anticipated the sport connected with tho “Cape May Challenge Cup," issued by the Commo- dore. The race at first seemed to give much satis- faction to the owners of schooners generally in the club, and five or more entered for the grand prize, which, to the winner of three consecutive races, was to bo his dona jlde property under the regulations. Unfortunately, owing to the late- ness of the season and other reasons, the original entries were reduced to three—the Magic, Dreadnaught and Palmer; but at the last moment the Magic declined to participate, which left the decision of the Cup to a match, The conditions under which the Cape May Chal- lenge Cup was sailed for and under which it is to be held are as follows:— This race will bo open to schooner yachts of all nations, belonging to recognized yacht clubs, and isto be salle for on Thursday, October 10, 1872, under the rules of the New York Yacht Club, but without time allowance, ‘The courso will bo f inary line between the Judges’ steamer and luoy No. 5, off Sandy Hook, to a around the Five Fathom Lightship, off Cape May, leaving Eon the port or starboard hand at will, and back to ndy Hook Lightship, passing the same’ to the south ward and oastward, within one hundred yards distance. The Cup to be awarded subjectto the following condi: tions, a8 expressed In the letter of the donor :— irat—It is to be held by the winner for thirty days after the race without ope to SuAUanES Second—Upon the expiration of that pertod the winner must accept any challenge and be prepared to sail a race over the same course within fiteon days from the receipt gt such challenge or forfelt the Cup o the challenger Any yacht sueceed in holging the Cup in two Consecutive races during one season it will not again be Hable to challenge until the commencement of the yacht- ing season of the following year, The Cup will become the bona fide property of any yacht holding it successtully through ‘three conseeutlve contests. Third—The yachting season in American waters, in reforence to this Cup, ls understood to be from the third Thursday tn June uniil (he third Thursday in Octobor in year, Fourth—Should a yacht holding this Cup be sold out of the New York Yacht Club the Cup shall not go with her, but shall be returned to the Club to be again sailed for} and if the Cup shoald be held by a foreign yacht, and she should be sold out of the Club to which ‘she belongs, the Cup not go be sold with her, but shall be returned to the New York Yacht Club, to be sailed for again as above provided. Fith—In the event of the Cup being held at the close of € season by a foreign yacht the ownor thereot will be lia- ble to challenge during the season of next year, for an ocean race, over a course from the Needles, tsle of Wight, to and around a stakeboat off the harbor’ of Cher- bourg and return, PREPARATORY, The Dauntless, which acted as escort and stake- boat, left her anchorage, abreast the dock at Sta- pleton, Staten Island, yesterday morning, with the wind West-squthwest, and the Dreadnaught, then Tying alongside, was not far behing io gotting under rons The Wind WAS WZDt nd naif an hour afterward, with each yacht bowling side by side, the question ] the whereabouts of the Palmer, a knowti Cénulestant for the Cup, was considered. At midday both yachts sent up their main gatf fopsails, but despite the efforts of the Dauntisss to keep ‘and coax the Dreadnaught for a windward trial in the light breeze, the latter reached the Southwest Spit a quarter Sf Mic mn advance. Here the Dreadnaught anchored and Shook out the bonnet of her jth and sent up a large ciub topsail. Her anchor was welghed soon after, but shé stood head to wind and drifted, while the Dauntless went seaward, and after passing the POINT OF SANDY HOOK caught a stiff breeze from the southward, which against the ebb tide made a rough sea. From this half way down to the Lightship the Dauntiess had @ pleasant sail, with her lee scuppers under, and then went about to meet the Palmer, which was ee all possible speed to reach the starting This appeared so far distant in the matter of the Palmer reaching the station in the time set down, hat Mr. Krebs, of the Regatta Cumuittee, asked Captain ‘Samuels, of the Dreadnaught, as there was trey an time before the Palmer arrived, to come out al STRETCH HIS SAILS. The captain of the Dreadnaught accepted the tn- vitation and at once set sail, both yachts being off buoy No. 5, the wind much lighter than an hour be- fore. Each driftea beyond the point of the Hook, with the breeze hauling to the southwest, an when beyond that it came out with a vim from the southwest and westward, so that after one mile had been ne the Dread- naught sent down her bi club topsail and the Dauntless, ina word, beat her one-halfa mile, running three miles from the bar of Sandy Hook and back with the wind hauling to the south- southwest. During this exciting time the Gracie, owned by Mr. Colgate, had endeavored to follow the competing boats, but only when they hauled in the wind did she dare approach, when, with particulars of the intended start to be given, her owner con- sented to stop and sce it. It must be narrated here that the Meta sailed down to the Hook with @ large party of ladies and gentlemen, and when abreast of the Dauntless saluted her with cheers and music, which were responded to appropriately, Now the Hater WAS ON HAND, » and after delit?ation on board the Dauntless be- tween Mr, K Mr. Stuyvesant and Captain Samuels, it was agreed to start ‘‘as you please,” crossing the imaginary line between the anchored Dauntless and Buoy No. 5. The Palmer first Wanted to take down her gaf topsails, and this resolution pleased Captain Samuels, but, upon con- sideration, Mr. Stuyvesant accepted the conside: tion of bis rig, and, alter much manceuvring and a kip back toward the Southwest Spit, they came about and CROSSED THE LINE on their ocean journey as follows:— Length, Time Name. Owner. Feet. H. M. Dreadnaught......Mr. Stockwell os 4 oT 37 Palmer... Mr. Stuyvesant...,.116 4 59 The yachts then were on the starboard tack, the Dreadnaught carrying foresail, main- sail, jib, fying jib, main club topsail and work- i topsail. The Palmer carried all lower galls an 'ge gaff topsails. It was now nearly dark, and the competing yachts bowled away on their mission, and when a northwest squall set in the last seen of them from the deck of an accom. panylng boat was that the Dreadnaught, with re- duced sail, was but a boat's length ahead and both were close hauled. THE BLAINE SCANDAL. General Tom Ewing Endorses the Inno- cence of the Speaker—The Charges Utterly Without Foundation. CoLumBrs, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1872, The Ohio State Journal to-morrow morning wil} publish correspondence between Hon. Janics G. Blaine and General Thomas Ewing, in reference to charges recently made by the New York 2ribune concerning an alleged contract made with Speaker Blaine by G@:neral Ewing and Colonel J. Cc. Stone for nearly two millions of stock in the | Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad Com- | pany, aiterwards merged into the Union Pacific Railway, Eastern Division. General Ewing's letter in reply to Speaker Blaine is very full and explicit on the subject. He says:—‘The charge of corruption in office made against Mr. Blaine is disproved by public records, accessible to all, which show that Mr, Blaine did not enter Congress for nearly a year and a half after the law referred to was passed.’ General Ewing cioses as follows:—‘My general knowledge of the business of the company, and especially my intimacy with you, make it cer- tain that you could not have had any contract with the company without my knowing the fact, and I unuesitatingly declare that you were not in any manner, nor at any time, directly or indirectly em- ploves by the company or in any way ntereste in it or {ts affairs, as stock- holder or otherwise, in any capacity whatever. Your brother, J. E. Blaine, at that time Clerk of the | District Court at Leavenworth aad one of the earl: settlers of Kansas, was owner of $10,000 of stoc in the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Raliroad | Company, which, indeed, was held very generally among infuential men of all parties along the line of the road in Kansas; but that was in 1861 or | 1862, and a considerable period before you were even nominated for your first term in Congress. Beyond that there never was, at any time, the remotest interest in the company held by any member of your family, ‘he entry ol 1,020,000 of stock opposite the name of Blaine was therefore hed @ fiction, or blunder, and the grave imputations on your character and on that of the officers and agents of the company are utterly Froundiess and without a shadow of justification. Lam informed that Gen- eral Stone is now in Eutope. He will doubtless take occasion, when he learns of these charges, to speak for himself about them. So {ar as m: knowledge of the affairs of the company goes deliberately assert that it never, by any of its oM- nts or attorneys, Made any contract the proceeds ot which there was reason to believe were to be in any manner Panis on in by any member of Congress or other pubile ofticer,”” Sergeant McComb, of the Twentieth precinct, was dismissed from the department yesterday alvergoga by the Peleg Commussigucua, Meeting.

DARING CONSPIRACY. Plot to Entrap Franklin Moses—A Forged Letter of President Grant and Another Forged Letter of Secretary Richardson— The Impostor Arrested. Corumata, 8. C., Oct. 10, 187% During the past week the greatest excitement has prevailed here over the arrest of a so-called Captain Henry Carter, who represented himself as being a secret service agent of the governmeat, Sent here by President Grant as special envoy te Franklin J. Moses, Jr., the regular nominee of the republican party for the Governorship. HI3_MIS310N, as he stated, was to offer aid to carry the State foe Grant and Wilson, and to inform Moses thaé Grant most cordially endorsed the State ticket of which le was the head and leader, and to do all he possibly could to support the same, Carter tele- graphed from Florence, 130 miles from here, to Moses to meet him in Charleston, as he had IMPORTANT DOOUMENTS from the administration at Washington to submit to him, Moses started promptly next morning to moet so important a personage, but frtendg who thought that ifCarter had such important papers im his possession he should bring them to Columbia, in- tereepted Moses by telegraph sixty mies below here, and, in accordance with this summons, Moses returned, The telegraph was at once called into requisition to ascertain if Carter was what he represented himself to be. In the meantime he had arvived in Charieston, where he became A GUEST OF GENERAL GURNEY, one of the republican candidates for Congresaman in the Second district, and it was planned, without letting either Carter or Gurney know what the rea’ intent was, to bring them both to this city, Car- ter had sold Gurney completely and was stopping at his house, They came here, and Carter pre- sented to Moses two forged letters, purporting to be from General Grant and the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, A. Richardson, the first letter guaranteeing the strongest support of the Moses ticket and the latter stating that Richardson would soon arrive in South Carolina to further the interests of Grant and Wilson and the Moses ticket in person. Both letters were the most glaring forgeries, and the Grant letter was signed by Private Secretary Horace F. Porter, instead of Horace Porter. The Executive Committeo of the regular republican party, having posted themselves: by telegraph, had Carter arrested as an lapostor, and, being terrified, he divulged a MOST ASTOUNDING PLOT. ‘This was no moyg por tess than to get Moses to Charleston, away from his immediate friends and advisers, give him the forged letters, get them into pune “and then arrest ose. for yractios, A more infamous schéme has not been developed in any Dolitteal campatgd. Heretofore Carter nas under- taken to make the gotpunitvee beligyg that bo was bat a tool of other an: a MORE CONSUMMATE SCOUNDRELS Nuaed than he {fs himself; but he has shown too mang papers to warrant this belief, and he now lies im Jai here awaiting an indictment by the Grand Jary jor forgery. The parties who are suspected of hav- ing pul up this huge job are prominent politictans in the bolters’ faction of the republican party al them @ Senator from this State—and this en tA AA MHS WP, gotten Png was grahted and Carter was yesterday brought hefote Associate Justice Willard, of the Supreme Court, who had no jurisdiction, the Circuit Court being in session, and he comes up before the last- named Court to-morrow. There {s no chance of the writ being granted, but the trial will divulge one of a most amazing political conspiracies om record, Cp — Encounter Between Tom Kelly and Fred Bussy in MissourimKeglly Victorious.

The report of the Inspectors im the case of the Dean Richmond has been undergoing an examina- tion at the Treasury Department to-day by Secre- tary Boutwell. testimony bearing upon the defective condition of the boiler at the time of the accident. It is stated that the accident to the Westfleld’s boiler was ex- cusable compared with what is shown by tle evi- dence in this investigation, The report shows that the hydrostatic test required by law was faithfuliy performed in October, 1871, and no sign of weakness discovered. The law does not limit the test to once @ year, but says it shall be done once at least in | every year. No blame, therefore, attaches to the owners of the boat, as the Inspector was bound to take into consideration the age of the boiler when inspected last. It is understood that Secretary Bout- well will order that hereafter boilers over five years old shall be thoroughly tested several times during the years thereafter they are in use, Oficial Copy of the Geneva Award | Received. The Secretary of State to-day received by special | messenger an oficial copy of the decision and award | of the Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration, handsomely | engrossed on parchment and bound, with the signa- tures of the arbitrators, The cocument was en- closed in a neat wooden case, highly polished.
