The important share which Sir Daniel took in the formation of the canal—a share scarcely second to that of M. de Lesseps himself—and the fact that-ne has been the only Knghshman prominently connected with the enterprise, render his dismissal by the French administration especially inopportune at the moment when there are too many English politicians on the watch for signs of the company’s disregard for the interest of this country and its stake in the canal.’” COTTON TRADE ¥RAUDS—DANKRUPT BROKERS SAID TO HAVE FLED, It ts rumored that some scandalst in connection with the Liverpool cotton trade will shortly be made public.

J. Yost, brother of the murdered man. Several witnesses were sworn yesterday, bat their tes- timony was about the same as was given at the murder wial. To-day a new witness was put upon thé stand, William A. Polmatur, a repairer of sewing machines, &e., was sworn, and said that afew weeks before the homicide the prisoner came into his shop with a pistot that he wished repaired, and stated that he wanted it to shoot a dog; the spring revolving the cylinder did Bot act, so he was compelled to heat and bend it, | changing the color of the steel at ono end to a dark blue; in trying the tom mark with his chisel. the gas tank, together with the broken sprin same he repaired for the prisoner, who testified, on his trial tor murder, that he never owned or had a pistol in his r of the spring he made a | He identified the pistol found in | , as the | ion. The counsel for the defence cross-examined bim | minately, but did not succeed in shaking his testimony | in the least, He explained as a reason why he did not speak of this before that, not being able to read or write, he did not know until the trial was finished that the prisoner denied ever having a pistol ip his posses- n.

Brent, Dookkeeper of the Falls City Tobaceo Bank, committed forgery last Thursday. Brent disappeared on that day, bat as he sent a telegram trom Cincinnati toa friend here that he had got married by. eloping with a well known Loussville belle his absence excited no | suspicion. Tho lady was in Frankfort at the time, and therefore the marriage report was believed. To-day the bank officials discovered that Brent had clipped a regularly made ont check from the bank's cheek book, filled it out for $15,000 and written the name of the Merchants’ Bank of New York as the ono tt was wished to draw on. This check Brent presented to the Kentucky Bank of Louisville tor collection, and in retarn tho latter handed hira $7,400 in cash and a check against his own bank for the balance. Brent was considered an excellent young man and his fall has | produced considerable comment. AN ADROIT SWINDLER. * Br. Lovts, Feb. 29, 1876. On Taosday last the Beardstown (IIl.) Distilling Com- pany shipped 200’barrels of highwines to this city, con- signing the same to their order, George H. Blum, sec- retary of the company, drew two drafts for $7,000 each, attached them to the bill of lading, indorsed to Gregory & Stagg, of St, Louis, and placed them in bank at Beardstownfor collection. On the arrival of the nigh- wines here P. C. Sherber, Vice President of the Dis- Ulhng Company, appeared also with a bill of Inding of the gooda, which he indorsed, took possession and im- preeiny ei enna a to sell the highwines, He dis- of 150 barrels at from one and a half to two cents low the market, placed the remainder in the hands of a broker to sell, and left the city with $10,500. This On Monday the drafts came in ane course, with bills of ie attached, when Gregory & Stagg refused to pay, knowing the whiskey had been solid. An investigation followed, and to-day Secretary Blom and J. A. Arenz, Le gghraph on the own Bank, arrived bere, and the above facts were ascer- tained. They are taking measures to recover the property !f possible.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, Wasuinctox, Feb. 29, 1876 THE LEGALITY OF THE LEGAL TENDER ISSUE IN TIME OF PEACE—A NEW IDFA FOR THR SETTLEMENT OF THE CURRENCY QUESTION. Some observers here have come to the conviction that, although no further inflation of the currency is to be dreaded, on the other hand there is no apparent Prospect of actually restoring the specie standard by positive legislation, and they are, therefore, of apinion that it is time to bring this legal tender question before the Supreme Court upon a new issue that has not yet been passed upon, The Court has determined that tho issue of the legal tender notes was lawful in time of war to mect the exigency of war, but this original, act provides that they shall only be reissued while the exigency remains in force, It is held that the exigency was the necessity of col- Jecting a forced loan, and that when a Segal tender note is returned to the Treasury in liquidation of a tax it has ended its function; that in being returned to the Treasury for such atax it conveyed to the govern- ment a title to the thing borrowed by its issue. In tho Treasury {t {s therefore not money, but only evidence of a debt paid, as much as a receipted bill. If reissued it works the collection of a new forced loan in time of peace, when no exigency exists, and it Js insisted that such reissue is unlawful upon the very reasoning by which the Court justified the original issue in time of war. It is believed that the politicians of all stripes would be much relieved if the courts could take li: question out of their way, and that the common sensv of the peo- ple would support the Supreme Court in a decision that would forever bar tho use of irredeemable government notes in time of peaco and plenty. It is not improb- able that the question may be brought before the Su- preme Court very soon by the refusal by citizens to receive in payment of a aebt legal tender notes recently issued from the Treasury, and bearing a date which is itself sufficient evidence that they wore issued since the exigency for which they were allowed has ceased, THE LETTER TO THE WESTERN DISTRICT AT- TORNEYS IN THE LIGHT OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. The general anxiety that Attornoy General Pierre- pont should ‘‘expose”’ the facts which, as he asserted in his letter to the Herawp, required the letter to the district attorneys, will be increased when the following instructions by Secretary Bristow on the same subject, issued last October, {8 read. Mr. Pierrepont’s letter to the district attorneys and also his letter to the Henaty have been understood in some quarters as imputing blame to the district attorneys and to the Treasury Depart ment, under whose instructions by law they act in revenue cases. The following telegram from the Sec- retary of the Treasury shows what these instructions were: — TREASURY Drrantwent, Oct. 12, 1875. Bucrorn Wiisos, care United States District Attorney, St. Louis, Mo. :— It is not easy at this distance to say what, If any- thing, should be conceded by the government in particular cases in order to reap greater benefits in others, The District Attorney and associates, being on the ground and io possession of all the facts, aro better qualified to decide such questions, I would say, gen- erally, however, that unless important ends are ‘to be gain in other cases I would make terms with any indicted party. Tho question in band does not relate alone to the amount of money involved in these particular cases, but affects the integ- rity of the revenue, and complete success in these prosecutions would be of great value to the govorn- ment hereafter. Therefore, | would say to the parties who offer to surrender and ask terms, that they should plead guilty to the charges, or to such of them as they admit to be true, make their statements to tho Court, throw themselves on its clemency and sub- mit to such punishment as the Court may pronounce, T wonld make no agreement in advance for suspension of judgment, nor would I ask the Court, after plea ot guilty, to suspend sentence In any case unless, upon poatien | o statement of the party in open court, it should be deemed proper to use him as a ‘witness against a greater offender The conviction and punishinent of corrupt and guilty officials are of the first importance, and all proper moans to this ond shoul be used. The Attorney Gen- this view. B. YU. BRISTOW, Secrotary. It ts interesting to compare this with the Attorney Gencral’s letter. THY TRANSFER OF THE INDIAN BUREAU— TRADERS AND PHILANTHROPISTS WORKING IX CONCERT. Strong efforts are making to prevent the transfer of Indian affairs to the War Department. It ts curious that persons supposed to be profitably engaged in In- dian contracts and others known as philanthropists unite in this opposition. A proposition bas been quictly urged to create a new Indian bureay, with » semi-independent position, and amonable partly to the Interior, partly to the War De- partment, and partly to nobody. It is certain, however, that the members of the Indian Ring oppose the transfer to the War Department, and will fight it hard, and the moasuro, acknowledged to be necessary by every man who has studied the Indian question, will have great ditionity in passing. General Grant urged it in the first years of his ad- ministration, and it ts hoped by some that ho will bring his potent influence to the help of ths reform when the time comes, Amember of the House remarked on tho Indian question that he would be willing to settle it so far ag Arizona {% concerned, by giving every white inhabitant of that Territory $500 per annum to live somewhere else, He thonght 1t would be a measure of economy. THE SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS AND HOW IT I8 REGARDED. ‘The situation in New Orleans is not displeasing to some republicans hero who see the “bloody shirt’ looming up. It fills the democrats with dismay, It has raised the hopes of Mr. Pinchback, who, on a close count of the Senate, believes that when General Burn- side returns, he can be admitted by a majority of one or two, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasnixatos, Feb. 29, 1876. SENATOR MORTON IN EXPLANATION OF HIS CONNECTION WITH THE EMMA MINE. Senator Morton hastened to the Committee on Foreign Affairs this morning to contradict the stato ment of Lyons, and there the two met face to face, Mr. Morton aske@ to be introduced to Lyons, and he gives the following account of what occured :— Lyons remarked, “I have met you before, Gov- ernor, in Sart Lake,” Senator Morton promptly replied, “No, sir, you met me on the cars this side of Pittsburg.” He then asked Mr. Lyons how he had come to make the statement reflecting on him before the committee yesterday. Mr. Lyons responded that he had been falsely reported or misunderstood, and that he had not met bim im Salt Lake, Then Senator Morton pro- ceeded to make his statement to the committee, which he gives in substance to-night as follows :— After the adjournment of Congress I was on my way to Indianapolis, my home, and Senator Stewart, of Nevada, came into the car in which I was and intro- duced a person trom Utah ofthe name of Lyons, who proceeded to tell mo that he was being robbed of a very valuable mine property, worth haifa million, and that if 1 would consent to act as his counsel there would be & considerable amount of commit That being my profession, | of issuing silver currency was discussed at length, no | i in a lawyer, a response of well,” of something of ‘that kind, was given fo him. But the wtle of the property was bot mentioned, nor was a word said about the Emma Mine, and, in tact, I am of the impression the tide of “Little Emma’ ' was given it. Alter this not much more was said about it; but upon reaching home 1 though over the manner of the man Lyous and came to the concinsion that there was something wrong about him. My suspicions were confirmed when | re- ceived a paper subsequently from Salt Lake City re- ferring to the removal of Judge McKean, and I con- cluded to have nothing to do with Lyons and the whole aftair, as I judged that possibly my services were not £0 much wanted as counsel at Salt Lake as an agent at Washington, When Senator Morton had finished his statement he turned to Mr. Lyons and asked him if it was not cor- rect. To which tho latter replied that it was. THE FINANCIAL REFORMERS OUT OF CONGRESS— HOW A DISTINGUISHED SENATOR IS BORED. * Senator Tharman says that he is overrun with let- ters and pamphlets on the finances, Every man has fome pet scheme for paying consideration at par. He receives what would make a hundred printed pages every day. One reformer wrote him the cial policy so that a poor man could borrow $100 as easily a millionnaire could borrow $1,000, He asked that Mr. Thurman get Congress to pass a law mak- ing it the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to Joan money to any person who might apply. Jaw fully carried out he would bave postmasters ap- Pointed as loan agents and authorized by law to lend money to any citizen on real estate, personal property, cattle, horses, jackasses, sheep, swine, &o. take any kind of property as security for such loans. During a former session of Congress, when the finances were the chief subject of discussion, he re- celved a communication from a Western man which began with these words, “Why don’t you Congressmen stop taiking and pass a Jaw giving American citiaens $20 apiece 9”? ‘The Senator said that no other subject opened so wide a feld for demagogues as the finance question. He found that those who talked most knew least, and, as arule, they were as infated asthe currency would bo if thoy were allowed to have their own way. THE SUBSTITUTION OF SILVER FOR FRACTIONAL CURRENCY—DEFICIENCY BILL FOR THE BU- BEAU OF PRINTING AND ENGRAVING. The Committee on Appropriations met Dr. Linder- man, Director of the Mint, to-night, and the question It was ascertained that the $14,000,000 of silver bullion owned by the government would coin $16,000,000 of currency, $12,000,000 of which is now coined and ready for distribution. According to the facts presented it was found that tho ot keeping the silver afloat, being the interest on the bonds necessary to buy bullion, was less than the amount required to keep the fractiona, currency afloat, Alter considerable debate the committee appointed Messrs. Randall and Foster a sub.committeo to meet Secretary Bristow in the morning and confer with him further on the subject, after which st is expected that tho committee will report a bill to the House authoriz- ing tho Secretary to issue silver as the business of the country may require. The committee agreed to report a deficiency bill of $165,000 for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, to Print national bank notes and groenbacks. OPPOSITION TO REDUCTION—VIEWS OF MR. RANDALL AND GENERAL LOGAN, There will be some opposition, particularly among border men, to any considerablo reduction of the army, and in the Senate General Logan will oppose it It is possible, however, that a proposition to abolish the re- cruiting service may be favorably received. Thore is a suggestion here that in Arizona and other border regions it might be wolt to enlist Indians in the regu- lar sorvice, They are already fed and clothed by tho government, and it is believed they would make excel- | lent troops, and would imbibe moro civilization under the strict discipline of the military life than they do living idly in their camps under incompetent, and too often, rascally Indian agents. Mr. Randall means to urge very considerable econo- mies in the management of the army, and hopes to make largo savings even with but slight reductions of the rank and file, General Logan urges a consolidation of the Commissary, Quartermaster’s, Ordnance and Pay departments of the army as @ measuro of economy. THE INDIAN INVESTIGATION—DAMAGING AGAINST EX-COMMISSIONER SMITH, The Indian investigating sub-committee, with Judge Wilshire as chairman, is developing some important evidence against ex-Commissioner Smith and the Rings. Mr. Eby, his former clerk in the record de- partment of the bureau, has beon before the commit- tee with damaging facts, which are supported by docu- mentary evidence, Congressman Page appears as Smith’s counsel. i Bosler, the beef contractor of Carlisle, Pa, bas his agents at work here, and he himself makes frequent trips to the Capitol to seo his favorite Congressmen. The cummitteo is working very bard and at adisadvan- tage, because some of the most valuable witnesses aro in the far Wost and in Europe. FACTS GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Peet Wasnrxatos, Feb. 29, 1876, THE EMMA MINE INVESTIGATION—CONTINU- ATION OF LYON'S TESTIMONY REGARDING GENERAL SCHENCK'S CONNECTION WITH THE SPECULATION, The Committees on Foreigh Affairs this morning re- sumed the investigation of the Emma Mine specula- aon, Senator Morton appeared, and having beon sworn at his own request, made his statement, Mr. Lyon then resumed his testimony from yester- day, saying, among other things, that General Schenck received 300 shares in addition to the 500 previously owned by him, which sold for £23 a share, or £3 pre- mium after the quality of the mine bad been magni- fled. Professor Silliman was at Salt Lake City with ‘Williams, an English director of the Emma Mine Com- pany. Stewart left the session of tho Senate in the winter of 1872, and soon thereafter the famous tele- gram, signed by Silliman, Williams and Huzzey, was sent to London, representing that large beds of ore had been discovered at the Emma Mine. This was consid- ered very remarkabic. The telegram was made public on the morning of the 6th of April, 1872. The new discoveries wore represented as 8,000 tons, worth $2,000 a ton, or $16,000,000, The witness related that in a convorsation between Park and himself, Park said it was hard for Geiferal Schenck to hve on $17,000 a year; he had to buy dresses for members of his family which cost $700 apiece to go to Queen Victoria’s draw- ing room, and the dress could be worn only once, make money. At another time Park said he was going to have a httle game with the General, who was a good ‘poker player. ‘The witness testified that Albert Grant, the promoter of the Emma Mine specalatiou in England, intormed him that he gave Senator Stowart 2,000 shares of tho stock to become a director himself and to assist in getting Mr. Schenck’s name on the Board, Parke in- formed the witness that Fisher, of Vermont, an inti- mate friend of his, owed General Schenck £3,000 sterling for services rendered tn a land grant which, Perhaps, was disposed of in Holland, Parke wanted Schenck to give Fisher an opportunity to make some- thing, and Schenck afterward said he found Fisher a very valuable man. Fisher wrote articles for the Lo-n don Mining Journal, paying vory large prices for their publication, and they were extravagant in praise of the richness of the Emma Mine, and of a most extraordi- nary character as to misrepresentation, On June 4, 1872, the Emma Mine literallygcaved in or collapsed, and bas not been since repaired, When Stewart was asked how they could satisfy the English stockholders for the non-production of ore, he replied that was easily managed. They could say that the snows of Utah were so deep as to prevent hauling, but they could make up for lost time daring the snmmer. Parke wrote to Anderson, connected with the company, on the 24th of July, 1872, after hi® return from Salt Lake City, that, while be expected to see in the Emma Mine large beds of ore, the sight of them went fur above his expectations, There was no report concerning the vast products of the mine but what fell short of the truth. On such falke repre. sentations the stock, as @ consequence, advanced. The committes, at twelve o'clock, took a recess until half past twe. other day that the government ought to adopt a finan- | To have the spirit of the proposed | cost | Park did not blame General Schenck for wanting to | the national debt and | flooding the country with cheap currency to be quoted | 7. —_— ‘ery | continue the investization.

The investigation will be thorough, and a full opportunity will be given to General Schoned and his friends to'be heard on the subject. Mr. Lyon, tho witness before the Committee on For eign Affairs did not say in his testimony yesterday, ay has been erroneously reported in some of thy papers, that senator Morton agreed to the proposition of ex-Senator Stewart to accept a fee of $20,000t0 as sist in the removal of Judge McKean from the Utab Bench and in the case generally. The witness merely spoke yesterday of the offer being made to Senates Morton to assist in the suit, Dut did not say it was ac’ cepted by him. MESSAGH FROM THE PRESIDENT BEGARDING. THE DEFICIENCY AT RED CLOUD AGENCY— SECRET, CHANDLER IN EXPLANATION, ‘The President sent the following special mi x ge te | Congress to-day In fact, to | Exkcvrive Mansion, Feb. 28, 1876, ENATE AND Housk OF REPRESENTATIVE: ay before you herewith » communication from the Secretary of the luterior, of date 26th inst., upon the subject of deficiency of supplies at the Cloud Agency, Nebraska. ‘This matter has been already pre- sented to you by .the ary, and the House of Representatives has req 4 ah investigation by 8 To THe Th military officer of the cause of the deficiency. have taken proper steps. to. com. ply with this request’ of the House, bat the present need of supplics is not disputed. A pro- longed delay in furnishing provieions to these Indians will cause great distress, aud be likely to provoke raids on white settlements, and possibly lead to a general outbreak of hostilities. I therefore deem it proper to invite your attention to the importance of early and favorable action upon the estimates heretofore and herewith submitted. These estimates and the views of the Secretary in rr i to this emergency meet with my full concurrence, and I recommend that the appro- priations asked for be made at the earliest day prac- ticabl U. 8. GRANT, Si tary Chandler, in the communication referred to, states the reasons for the existing deficiency, which, in substance, are:—First, the diminished appro- priations made by Congress last year, and, second, unusual issues to Indians visiting the agency to meet the Black Hills Commission in September last. The Secretary says the case has additional urgency, from the fact that over 1,000 members of Sitting Bull’s band, horetofore deflant and actively hostile, have come ia to the Red Cloud Agency in compliance with messages previously sent to them, and it is important that any measures looking to the disintegration of this hereto. fore united band, and tbe destruction of Sitting Bull's authority should bave proper encouragement, In view also of tho probable submission of Sitting Bull’s band to the government, and their possible ar. rival at an agency where supplies are lacking, Sceretary Chandler indorses a recommendation of Commissioner Smith that an appropriation of $50,000 be granted, im addition to the amount of $225,000 already asked for last month, FAILURE OF THE CAUCUS COMMITTER TO AGREE ON A FINANCIAL MEASURE—TWO REPORTS TO BE MADE, The conference of the democratic caucus committee last night developed the tact of the impossibility of arriving at @ unanimous agreement on the financial question, Eight of the thirteen members favor the amended proposition for an annual three per cent coin reserve by the national banks and the Secretary of the Treasury, and for the repeal of so much of she Specie Resumption act as fixes the time for that purpose, namely, the Ist of January, 1879.
