FHE RUSSIAN OFFICIAL GAZETTE’S ADVICE TO THE POWERS—THE LONDON TIMES ON THE SITUATION, Loyoy, Nov. 1, 1875. The Times this morning has a ieading article on the utterances of the Oficial Gazette of St. Petersburg, to the effect that ‘steps must be taken by foreign Cab- nots to strengthen confidence so as to enable the Porte to fulfil its promises.” The Times say: “We presume that Russia thinks that a conference of the great Powers should review the Treaty of Paris and ®xamine into the state of the Turkish Empire. If a merely verbal pressure is all sho has in view it can be more safely applied by despatches than by a confer- ence. If she aims ata mdte serious intervention it ust go so far, in order to be effectual, that it would saise the Eastern question in a peculiarly formidable shape. England is not prepared to take so immense a responsibility in the present unsettled stato of Europe.” SPAIN. py a PRDUNA SAID TO HAVE BEN CAPTURED BY THE ALFONSISTS, Loxpox, Nov. 1, 1875.

WASHINGTON. the Cuban Question. Between Another State or a Bad Neighbor. ee THE PACIFIC MAIL PERJURY CASE. oleae FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasmincton, Nov. 1, 1875. The politicians aro greatly perplexed as to the real nature of our relations with Spain on the subject of Cuba While a good deal of the recent show of warlike preparation in the navy is rogarded as a shrewd device tocnlist enthusiasm for the republican party in the elections to-morrow, the President 1s credited with holding the belief that, in view of the complications which are likely to follow our condition of expectancy re- garding the result of the rebeltion in Cuba, and in view of the political capital a democratic Congress may wish to make in assuming @ hostile attitude toward Spain, the country should, as a nation, be ready for contingencies, and the republicans should, as a party, be ready to chime in with the democratic Congress in the how! against Spain, This position of the administration is not at all at variance with the policy which Secretary Fish has constraized it to maintain, Indeed, when the facts come to be known it is quite likely that “tho Washington note,” which is causing so much debate in the Spanish Cabinet, will prove to be & proposal on the part of our govern- ment for the purchase and peaceable cession to us of the ever faithfal isle. Hence the cable assurances from Madrid that the note is in the nature of a renewal of negotiations which had been suspended by the state of war in Cuba. In support of this conjec- ture as to the nature of Minister Caleb Cushing's latest communication with the Spanish government it is said that President Grant regards with uneasiness, If not alarm, the probability of an early triumph of the Cuban rebels and the establishment of an independent repub- lic on the island, which, in the event of our becoming involved in another foreign war, would be a neu- tral station for our enemies’ ships, and a point at which to organize hostile demonstrations against and depredations upon our Gulf and ocean seaboard, Free Cuba would be a thorn in our side all the time, in peace or in war. In peace her sugar factories would destroy the sugar production of the United States, and in war she would be always a bad neighbor. It 1s, therefore, not improbable that Caieb Cushing has re- ceived instructions in accordance with this emergency, and that he is urging upon the Spanish Cabinet the wisdom of selling the island before the rebels succeed, or a democratic Congress compels them to fight for its longer retention, Ta connection with the controversy, whatever it may be, which is involved In the present interchange of communications with Spain through the medium of Minister Cushing, unusual activity has been observable at the Department of State for several days, not the least significant feature thereof being the frequent con- sultation of the government's lawyers and the constant reference to the law books in the Attorney General’s office, Rumor has it that the question of international Jaw in its bearing upon the limit of the duties of neu- tral Powers in time of war is the subject of this mys- terious search for enlightenment. « All these several circumstances put together are taken to mean that Caleb Cushing has offered the Spanish government the alternative of selling Cuba to the United States or abid- ing the consequences of refusing. THE TRIAL OF THE PACIFIC MAIL PERJURY CASE—THE HON. MR. KING ON THE SITUA- TION. _The Pacific Mail perjury case, wherein the Hon. Bill King is accused of telling an untruth, is expected to be reactied in the criminal term of the Supreme Court by the 20th of this month. Irwin and Schumaker are in New York, Bill King, the great de- fendant in the, case, was here last week, and it is said that he has been to New Yore fixing up the misunderstanding with the Colonel concerning the $125,000 under discussion. He says that he is ready for trial and that he received the money from Stock- well as his share in an outside stock speculation, which Irwin paid over to him for Stockwell, He denies the report that he should not take his seat in Congress un- til the case was settled. He is ready for the House of Ropresentatives ag well as for the Supreme Court. As King is the most important witness, it will be interest- ing to know that he leaves for the Pacific coast in a few days. The defence say they will not cali Mr. Schu- maker to tell what he knows.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasminaron, Noy. 1, 1875. PRESIDENT ON THE INDIAN PEACE POLICY. Several pastorsin this city, of different denomina- tions, who were apprehensive that the government was about to abandon its peaco policy toward the Indians, called upon the President to-day vo express their con- yiction that such a course would greatly disappoint Christian people in all parts of the country, and be a blow to the cause of Christianity throughout the world, The President, with great promptness and precision, replied that he did not regard the peace policy a fail- ure, and that it not only would not be abandoned while he occupied that place, but that it was his hope that during his administration it would become so firmly es- tablished as to bo the necessary policy of his suc- cessors. In that he might possibly be mistaken. PAYMENTS MADE FROM THE TREASURY DUBING .

Tho following is an extract from # private letter, dated Washington, October 31:— ‘The Secretary of the Treasury is busily engaged on his annual report, He will speak in very decided tones of the necessity of a speedy resumption of specie pay- ments as the only means of renewed Prosperity for the country. Tho President in his Message will take the same eagle tone, Itis eee here not impossible that the President may in his Message make suggest. tons or recommendations to Congress on the subject of resumption of such a kind as will bring the matter be- fore the Houses at once, and with the object of forcing the democratic majority in the Lower House totake a decided attitude upon the question, Republican politi- glans BOks BULK bhab bik Would he an embacranar . NEW YORK HEKALD, TUESDAY, ment to the democratic leaders, which would pretty certainly make trouble for them. Much curiosity is felt to see how the Southern democrats in the new Congress will stand on the currency ques- tion, It is said in some quarters that the President may recommend a measure calculated to bring about almost immediate resumption, and that in case he does he will argue that the country is ready for such an event, that nearly all prices are down to a specie basis; that business and industry cannot rebegin until tho currency is settled; that everything waits for this and that the prosperity of the country demands resumption and a sound currency without further delay, and to ré- sume by the fourth of July, of next year, would make the Centennial year still more marked in our history. There is no doubt that the administration regards the currency us one of its strong cards; but there are republican politicians here who think it too good 2 card to be played at once, They say thatit is probable that the democrats next year will make the blunder which they have made before, of declaring for inilation, and they point to Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and to the democratic journals in the West and South to show that the predominant influences in that party are for inflation, In this case they say that the republicans could hope to succeed in thé Presidential campaign on the platiorm of honesty and good money, and that, therefore, it is wiser for the administration to put itself upon the act of last session, which commands re- sumption in 1879. This law the Secretary of the ‘Treasury will obey in all its particulars until it is re- pealed or changed, But whatever may be suggested in the Message and the Treasury report ‘it is preity certain that the design is to embarrass, as far as possible, the democrats in the House and to force them if possible to put themselves on the recora, one way or another, in the expectation that whatever they propose will widen the breach be tween the bard and soft money Wings of their party. The Senate, which will have a slight majority fora sound currency, is likely to open tbe battle on the re- publican side by some measure amendatory of the Re- sumption bill. This, on being sent to the House, would ofcourse bring the question up there and compel tho democrats to declare themselves, On the other nand the democrats will retort by vigorous investigations of the departments, and there is a general impression here that they will make damaging discoveries.

The Merrimac River has risen several fect since yester- day, owing to the severe storm which prevailed during Saturday night, and serious fears are entertained for the safety of the river wall, which was built by the Amoskeag Company to straighten the river. The wall consists of a mass of solid masonry, fifteen feet in height and nearly halfa milo in length. Owing to the narrowness of the river channel and the great pressure of sand about fifty feet of the wall shows signs of giving way, ‘The damage already sustained {s estimated at $5,000. One and three-quarter inches of rain fell here during Saturday night, and in the morning the hilltops to the northward were covered with snow.

Six of the jury which convicted Colonel Joyce, chief of the St. Louis whiskey ring, have signed a petition, asking for a Presidential pardon of the prisoner, and efforts are being made to ob- tain the signatures of the other six. It is quite certain that four of the jurors will not sign the petition, Within the last day or two, while Joyce was on trial at Jeiferson City, certain members of the St. Louls whiskey ring went there with $50,000 to influence the jury, but United States Judge Krekel anticipated the movement and had the jury Toom and court roomso guarded and watched as to make corruption impossible.

There was a prevailing rumor in the city this even- ing that Vice President Wilson had been struck down with appoplexy, but, after diligent investigation, it was ascertained to be unfounded. The precarious condi- tion of Mr, Wilson's health of late caused the story to be generally believed, He was in the city this after- noon, but left for his home in, Natick on one of the evening trains, and to-morrow he will probably cast nis ballot for Mr. Rice, THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.

Tho tragic occurrence took place at eight o’clock, The murderer succeeded in making good his escape, notwithstanding the fact of the deed having been done in a crowded neighborhood and when the streets were filled with people. Accordin. a disreputable custom prevalent to a large extent am; the common people on Halloween a number of boys at the Sand Banks were engaged in stealing cabbages and pelting the doors and windcws of their neighbors with them, Kelly, the young assassin, was, it appears, engaged in this business with several of his companions, and among the doors that were made targets for the cabbage fusilade was that of the deceased, Scanlon’s father. For some time the fami! withstood the annoyanco good naturedly, but at lengtl the boys became somewhat boisterous in’ their fun and pelted the doors and windows with stones. Thereupon Anthony Scanlon went out to remonstrate with the young rowdies, and, meeting Kelly, he accused him of throwing the’ stones, at the same time caution- ing bim to desist or he would chastise him atonce, The latter advanced closer to his accuser, and drawing a sharp dirk knife plunged it with unerring and fatal aim into Scanton’s left breast, striking him to the heart, Scanion immediately fell with acry of pain and expired almost instantly.

THE ILLINOIS COUNTERFEITERS, CHARACTER OF THE PLATES AND AMOUNT OF BOGUS MONEY SECURED, Wasmtnerox, Nov. 1, 1875. When the first announcement was made of the arrest of the Stadfelt family, Nelson Driggs and Benjamin Boyd, counterfeiters, in Illinois, by Chief Washburn and the operatives of the secret service division of the Treasury Department, it was stated that the plates which were engraved by Boyd and printed from by Charles Stadfelt were captured. This was incorrect and arose from an error in a cypher telegram. Tno plates, however, have now been finally secured, after a search of ten days, by Chief Washburn, who dug them up yesterday in a piece of woods five miles’ from Centralia, Nl. They consist of the original steel plate for $5 notes of the Traders’ Nationa) Bank of Chicago, without doubt THR MOST DANGEROUS spurious note ever put in circulation, and the transfer plates from which the bogus Paxton, Canton, Aurora and Pexee $5 notes were printed, In addition Chief Washburn secured the two fifty cent plates, one a “Dex- ter” head and the otner a “‘Stanton’’ head, from which the best counterfeit notes of that denomination now in circulation were printed, and also unearthed $300 more of counterfeit money.

Dr. Howard Crosby, Chancellor of tho University of New York, while walking with a clergyman friend in University place, noticed two po- licemen having between them a man, apparently a prisoner, go with him into a liquor saloon on that street. wir conduct excited his suspicion that all was not right, and ina spirit of justice he foliowed them after they omerged from the saloon. He ascertained that they took their prisoner to the Twenty-ninth precinct station hor When the cir- cumstances reached the ‘8 of the Commissioners, Mr. Crosby was requested to appear before them to make affidavit to the facts. He accordingly took the stand yesterday and testified to the circumstances as stated. To his surprise, the accused policemen unhest- tatingly swore to having never entered the saloon. The hearing has been adjourned for corroborative to kul him and bad annoyed him in many | proof, Both officers belong to the Twenty-ninth pre- 7 SMITH’S RESIGNATION. GENERAL QUESTION RAISED AS TO THE PAYMENT OF Hs APPOINTEES WHILE ITS ACCEPTANCE IS PEND- ING, A highly interesting and suggestive scene was enacted yesterday ata secret session of the Finance Com~- mittee of the Board of Police. Commissioners Voorhiss Matsell and Disbecker were present, the former being im the chair, General Smith was absent, When the asual resolution for the approval of the payroll of the force was taken up Commissioner Disbecker moved to amend by striking off tho names of all appointees of Commissioner Smith placed on the force since October 8, the date of General Smith’s letter of resignation. Mr. Disbecker, in support ofhis motion, stated that be had been informed by competent counsel that General Smith bad no standing as a Commissioner, since the tendering of his resignation and until the question hag been decided by the Corporation Counsel he would ad~ here to his belief that that gentleman was nob & mente ber of the Board. Mr. Voorhia replied that his mind was clear as to the Status of General Smith. Until his resignation had been officially accepted he continued to be a Commis- sioner, He would therefore oppose the motion and all others of a like tende: Mr. Matsell said that so far as he was concerned ho had received no opinion of counsel, and untii the mat ter was determined in the legal way he should 1 bound to recognize the Commissioner as still a member, At this juncture General Smith entered the room and learned with astonishment the position taken by Mr. Disbecker. He stated that ho needed no advice or opinion of counsel in the mat- ter. When the Mayor should notify him of the acceptance jof his resignation, them he would step down and out, but until such not- ification was received he should continue as in duty bofind to act. The motion was lost, Mr, Disbecker alone voting for its adoption. The latter Commissioner subsequently signed the Pay roll, entering on the game his protests against tho payment of the salaries of all ns appointed by General Smith since the date of his letter of resigna- tion.
