Lima, Nov. 5, 1875, Since my last despatch, detailing the troubles through which we passed during the elections for the Presi dency, or rather for the Presidential Electors, affairs have been very quiet. From all quarters of the Re- public we learn that the majority of the votes cast is in favor of General Prado, and that instead of the con- fiicts and consequent loss of Jife which were appre- hended, the contestants in nearly every section have contented themselves with a peaceable solution of the problem. 4 POLITICAL CLOUD, But there is # cloud still on the political horizon, A rumor was set afloat that if General Prado is declared President by the two houses of Congress he will resign his post after a few weeks of work, and then the First Vice President, elected at the same time, would suc- ceed to the vacated chair. Now the trouble seems to be that the government is showing the cloven hoof. Despite the studied neutrality demonstrated during the electoral struggle it seoms clear that the administration is taking every possible step toward securing the en- vied Vice Presidential chair for Seior de la Riva Aguero, a gentleman who formerly held the portfolio of Foreign Affairs nuder Mr. Pardo} and who, naturally, would carry out the ideas, politica) and financial, of his chiet to the utmost degree. There is a strong opposi- Lon to Sejior de la Riva Aguero, the prominent candi- date on the other ticket being Don Buenaventura Elguera.

The particulars of the trangaction abroad have not yet come to hand, bnt it appears certain that the government must lose heayily in the sale, sacrificing its guano at a low rate in order ig fully cover the large national indebtedness abroas MAIL SERVICE TO THE RIO GRANDE.

Interview With the Acting Vice, Presi- dent at Washington. HE DENIES BRING AN INFLATIONISY. Government Should Accept Its Own Currency. An Advocate of an Indefinite Date for Resumption, Wasuinaron, Nov, 25, 1875, Thomas W. Ferry, acting Vice President ot the United States, upon whom, in the event of any fatality to President Grant the chief magistracy of the nation would now devolve, arrived in Washington to-day after & protracted journey from Michigan. He comes to take part in the funeral ceremonies in the Senate Chamber to-morrow and occupies quarters temporarily at the National Hotel, where, in deference to his office of President of the Senate, he was visited by the soveral delegations and committees baving charge of the in- tended obsequies of the late Vice President. ‘The importance Mr. Ferry has suddenly assumed in the government of the country has very naturally di- rected a large share of public attention to his political sentiments, and more particularly to his views on tho vexed questions of finance and currency, At a timo like the present, when every lawmaker is so keenly watched for the slightest intimation of opinion on these vital questions, Senator Ferry’s record has been recalled for public consideration, more es- pecially as he is the locum tenens of the office made vacant by the douth of Vice President Wilson and correspondingly powerful for good or evil, According to the popular recollection of this record, the accession of Mr. Ferry, who was among the advocates of the Inflation bill which was vetoed and killed by President Grant two years ago, has been hailed with more or less alarm by the hard money elo- ment of both the democratic and republican parties. But that measure was agitated so early in the inflation movement that the relative position of its friends ‘and opponents is not so clear a matter of history as the later struggles of the dissenting parties. Asa mat- ter interesting so many of the people of the country, the position of Mr. Ferry on the financial question was regarded as a fit subject of direct explanation on his part, and as soon as he had time to brush the dust of travel from his garments he was asked to give his viows for the benefit of the readers of the Hera.n, INTRRVIEW WITH MR. VERRY, At the interview which thereapon took place Mr. Perry expressed the greatest surprise that the papers had been so precipitate in denouncing him as an ultra inflationist, when in no sense of the word could he be so described, CorrxsronpENt—How did the press come to term you an inflationist, Mr. Ferry? Mr. Ferry—Ohb, some of them even called me a wild inflationist, but they misrepresent me altogether. My ylews are now what they were in the first session of the Forty-third Congress, and if you will look up my speeches and my work in committee you will find that, instead of being in favor of an inflation of the currency, I was in favor of limiting and fixing the circulation. Let me explain: When the bill to authorize an increase of $44,000,000 of greenbacks was under discussion I ad- vocated making the paper currency of the country ani- form in its nature, instead of distracting our financial system with several kinds of paper money. THE UBOT OF CIRCULATION. 4 Corresroxpuxt—That is, you wanted to abolish the national bank currency and substitute greenbacks for it, Mr. Ferry—That was my idea; but I wished at the same time to limit the circulation forever to a maximum of eight hundred millions and let the country grow up to specie payments. Conngsronpent—Your theory of resumption was quite popular a few years ago. - Mr. Perny—Yes, and it would have saved us from the depression of values and the stagnation of trado the country has srnce suffered. It is my theory now; Dut I accept the law as made by tho majority in Con- gress and I will do nothing to distarb the present status of the currency question unless the people shall demand a change. Cornwsronpgent—But you acquiesced, ‘your friends say, in THE RESUMPTION BILL OF LAST YRAR, Mr. Ferry—I did. It was the best thing under the circumstances and at the time that I contd do. It was in certain features a triumph for my own opinions, As { have said, I advocatea a limitation of tha currency which would fix the maximum of its volume deffnitely. ‘The currency I would have given the people would have had the quality of receivability by the government as well as by the people. It would have been a legal ten* der to the United States Treasury as well as among the peopie at large. Had the government refused to discredit its own paper, its paper would not have depreciated. Had we done as France did, taken our paper at the Custom House and for all debts and pay- ments to the government, we should have seen our greenbacks as good as the notes of the Bank of France were all through the recent financial distress of that country, When the question was up in committee I advocated giving the greenback the quality of UNIVERSAL RECEIVABILITY, Dit I was mot by the objection that the exception in case of customs duties and the like was the result of the necessity of the government | of satisfying the foreign subscribers to our loans, that we had a definite source of gold from which to supply the interest on our bonds; but now our bonds are at par or at a premium in gold and the necessity referred to bas passed. Then why not do away with the law which forbids such payments to be made with greenbacks ? Corresroxpent—Where would the gol come from to pay the interest on our bonds? Mr. Fxrry—Where other governments get it when they want it—from the market by purchase. CorresronpgNt (interrupting)—Your proposition to do away with GOLD PAYMENTS AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE would be very popular with the merchants of New York, Mr. Ferry (continuing)—If the government wants gold to pay its debts let it go and buy it, just as the merchant does, Then the loss in the premium would be distributed over all of a big rich country instead of | falling unjustly upon one class of men, ConrusronpENt—You were going to explain that the Resumption bill of last year was a triumph of your ideas. Mr. Ferry—The Resumption bill of last, year was a | compromise measure, in the full sense of the expres. sion. Iwas appointed chairman of the special com- mittee of the Senate which was empowered to frame a dillembracing the views of the republicatl majority of the Senate and the Resumption bill, the result of | our deliberations, was the compromise measure which | In that bill there is a | passed both houses of Congress. provision allowing PREE RANKING, of which I was an original advocate, ConnesponpeNt—But the bill djrects contraction of the greenbacks down to a minimum of $300,000, 000, Mr. Ferry—Yes; but the contraction is dependent | upon the demand for more national currency; so that ®@ contraction of greenbacks only follows upon an in- crease of national bank notes. Some of the members of the committee wanted to fixa definite amount ot contraction per month or year, but was opposed to | doing 80, As the law now stands the responsibility of contracting the greenbacks Hes with the people them- selves, I was in favor of PUTTING OPP A DATE POR RESUMPTION as long as possible, In fact opposed any date at all, I believed resumption would be arrived at moro casily by the natural growth of trade and by encouraging the prosperity of the country. Iopposed the date, 1876, stronuously, and only accepted 1879 a8 a compromise to facilitate legislation and quiet the agitation of the country. I worked to harmonize the many conflicting opinions of the committee, I was its chairman, I conceded some points and gained others, Conresroxpent—Which were those? Mr. Faary--I conceded conditional contraction and gained a definite distant period tor resumption. ¥ labored to defer the date as far as was judicious in my view of what we could do in so discordant 4 commit- tee. I feared for the result upou business of fixing auy definite period for resumption. I prophesied that gold would advance, The premium then was ten and a half It has steadily advanced since. whether fixing a date for resumption was wise. TUR NOVEMBER KLRCTION. In conclusion, Mr. Ferry said that, in his opinion, the November elections did not turn altogether upon the currency question. There were other important interests involved, but he was not prepared to enumer- ate them. His closing sentence was as follows:—‘‘It is | | not to be disguised that the people are stili divided on the currency question." ‘TUM RIGHT OF VERRY TO TH VICE PRESIDENCY. Somo of the indisereet friends of the opponents of Senator Forry in the caucus of last March have mooted the question of his right to Vice President Wilson's chair at the opening of the Senate on December 6. ‘The fact is that Senator Ferry was elected President of the Senate pro tem, for the vory emergency which has Just occurred, and tho Senate would stultify Itself by deposing him unless for reasons which are very un- likely to arise. In March last, on the day the Senate was about to adjourn, Vice President Wilson vacated the chair to allow of the choice of a man who should in tho event of his death and of the death of Ulysses 3, Grant become President of the United States, and Senator Ferry, of Michigan, was duly chosen to this line of succession. THE DEPARTED STATESMAN. THE LYING IN STATE AT THE NATIONAL CAPI- TAL—PRUPARATIONS FOR THE FUNERAL. Wasuixorox, Nov. 26, 1875. From ten o’clock this morning until sunset an almost unbroken throng of men, women and children passed through the Rotunda of the Capitol to view the remains of the Vice President, The body, enclosed in a glass covered casket, lay in state on a low catafalque, directly under the centre of the dome, watched over by a guard of honor, detailed from the Marine corps, The catafalquo is the eame'as that which was used at the obsequies of President Lincoln, Chiet Justice Chase and Senator Sumner, ‘The Rotunda is profusely araped with the national colors, entwined with mourning. The Senate Chamber has been prepared by the Ser- geant-at-Arms for to-morrow’s funeral ceremonies, and presents an extremely impressive appearance. The entire base of the gallery and all the pilasters are cov- ered with crap, in broad bands and festoons, the wood- work over the Vice President’s chair and the chair itself being draped with especial richness of effect. All the Senators’ desks have been replaced by sofa and arm chairs, freshly upholstered to correspond with the new carpet of subdued tone that has recently been Iaid down. ‘The green baize of the swinging doors Time will prove | WASHINGTON. Renewed Discussion of the Cuban Question, | SPAIN TAKES A STRONG POSITION, | | General Grant’s Message of 1870 | and His Attitude To-Day. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. j Wasuinatox, Nov, 25, 1875, THE QUESTION O¥ CUBAN BELLIGERENCY SAID TO BY AGAIN THE SUBJECT oF CABINET DIs- CUSSION—SPAIN TAKING STRONG GROUND. It having been denied that the question of recogniz- ing the belligerent rights of Cuba was undor discussion by our government, and the State Department having maintained that no diplomatic agitation was being had upon it by the respective officials to whom the discus- sion would properly belong, there ts the authority of the best informed circles for saying that the whole subject bas been again vigorously re newed. The article in today’s Henao is regarded a8 amounting to divination and has created profound sensation and considerable surprise, as well as favorable comment, Within less than a week past itis believed that Mr, Fish has been called upon by the government of Madrid with a strong reminder to review the passages of the President's Message of 1870 so pertinently alluded to tn today’s article of the Hxratpon Cuba. In fact, the very identical passages have been, itis believed, cited for Mr. Fish’s carefal attention or will form the gist of Spain’s argament to the United States government to forestall any new recommendation in that part of the forthcoming Mes- sage which the President is now proparing, it is be- Meved, on “Cuban belligerent rights.” Whatever it shall be is said by his most intimate friends to be wrapped up in his own bosom, but in the cogent language of one who speaks for him authoritatively, when asked whether President Grant would confine himself to the limit of what he had said heretofore on Cuba, it was re- mark “No; he will go further, but I can’t say to what length. There is something behind his present manner and expressions which is known to himselfalone, but there is surely something behind, and it is ofa seri- ous turn.” President Grant is represented by the out- side knowing world as being quite crestfallen and upset by the recent expression of public opinion adverse to military complications or warlike preparations on the part of our government Tho Spanish government and the glaring brass of the registers have been re. |, Will, itis believed in diplomatic circles, contond that placed by materials of harmanious coloring. The re- suit is a striking improvement. The approaches to the Senate Chainber and the marble columns of the porticos have also been fittingly draped with mourning. The caskot is rich and massive, but not ostentatious in ap- pearance, Tho usual floral decorations rest on it and it bears a plate inscribed simply, ‘Henry Wilson, born Febraary 16, 1812; died November 22, 1875.” BESOLUTIONS OF SORROW ADOPTED AT RICHMOND.

Wasumiaros, Nov. 25, 1875. THE MISSION INDIANS OF CALIFORNIA. ‘It appears from tho records of the Indian Oftice that the government took action five years ago to provide permanent homes for the Mission Indians of California, but that the reservations then set apart for them were restored to the public domain apov the urgent request and remonstrance of the people and press of Southern California, In January, 1871, the President ordered six sections, including the San Pasqual and Pala val- leys, to be reserved for tho use of the California Mission Indians in accordance with the recommendations of Brevet Major General McIntosh, then acting as Super- intendent of Indian Affairs for California, and Lieuten- Indians in said State, This order was rescinded the next month upon the strength of a letter written by E. P. Parker, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, in which, under date of February 13, 1871, he says>— It appears from the papers transinitted herewith, that the citizens of San Diego county protest against the order of the President; that tho Indians are unani- mously opposed to going on said reservations ; that the citizens have made vaiuablo improvements thereon ; that there are but few Indians on them; that recent gold discoveries have attracted large ‘immigration thither; and the opinion of the press, together with other evidence, would indicate that it would be for the best interests and welfare of the Indians, as well as others, that the order of the President setting apart said lands for Indian purposes be rescinded. - Secretary Delano approved this recommendation for rescinding and the President immediately restored tho six sections to the public domain. Oligurio said, when here last week, that he and his tribe declined to ac- quiesco in this provision for them because they were in no dangor of over being disturbed where they wero; in other words, that their title to their old homes was perfect, WHY THE FISHERIES COMMISSION HAS NOT On- GANIZED. ‘The delay in organizing the commission, ander the Treaty of Washington, for the determination of the amount of award to be paid to Canada for the privilege of using her fishing grounds, was prolonged under a direct request trom England, tho cause for the delay having originated with Canada, in order, if possible, to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity.

A tramp who has for some time been in this section of the State, but whose name is unknown, and whose identity it will now be impossible to establish, called yesterday evening at the farm residence of Mr. William Garrison, who lives near this place, and requested to be allowed to sleep in his barn, The man was given some food and the request granted. Shortly after bhevidte J to bed Mr. Garrison was awakened bya bright light, and on looking out of his bedroom window discovered his barn was on fire.
