A little affair has occurred at the Manhattan Club, which furnished that New York institution with something to talk about on New Year's e 7e. Mr. 11. L. Bateman, being of an adventurous turn of mind, like the celebrated lord, his namesak( , " who went foreign countries for to see," got him self elected a member of the club, and proceeded vigorously to use it before making himself acquainted with its rules. Being in what to him was a strange country, as might be expected, he tr tngressed its regulations. Three of his friends sat down as guests to dine in a room strictly reserved for the mem bers, which gave offence to Mr. Hiram Cran ston, a member of. the House Committee, who ordered that the party should not be served with dinner. In such a case the proper course, seeing that guests are involved, is to reserve the objection for a more convenient opportunity, and allow the dinner to proceed ; but Mr. Cranston not only gave this arbitrary order, but had it conveyed in an abrupt and imperative tone, sure to excite Mr. Bateman's wrath, who proceeded to have an interview, when Mr. Cranston asked him if he was a gentleman. Thereupon Mr. Bateman addressed a letter to the House Committee man, recounting the circumstances, regretting, if he had unconsciously vio lated a rule, and demanding an apology for the insult to himself and his guests. In reply, Mr. Cranston referred' him to the Managing Committee, by whom the House Committee is appointed, offered no expla nation, called in question Mr. Bateman's memory in asserting that he (Cranston) had asked him if he was a gentleman, adding, we presume, sarcastically, I could have asked no such useless question. Ano ther, and a more imperative demand for an apology was made by Mr. Bateman, who termed Mr. Cran ston's note evasive and unsatisfactory, an aggrava tion of the original insult. AIL Cranston declined further communication, rejecting the last note on which Mr. Bateman proceeded alone to the Manhat tan Club, determined to spoil Mr. Cranston's dinner, an object he thus effected. The House Com mittee-man was dining in the restaurant with a party of friends •when Mr. Bateman entered. After rehearsing his wrongs with a stage effect, and the refusal to tender an apology, Mr. Bateman said only one course was left, which was a slap on the face to Mr. Cranston, and that he administered gently, as corporal punishment was not his object, and then withdrew. But -an uproar followed ; Mr. Cranston shouting for the police, and waiters run fling about to bring in the myrmidons of the law. Opinions are divided on the affair ; Mr. Bateman having placed himself in the wrong by his last act. An appeal to the managing committee could scarcely have failed to draw forth a censure on Mr. Cranston's manner of discharging a duty ; and the club would have resented that gentleman's action. BLit Mr. Bateman was in error in the first instance, as it was his business when he joined the Club to learn its rules and observe them. By his ne glecting to do so Mr. Cranston got a slap on the face ; so he was first in error and last in error, though it was natural for him to resent such treat ment as he received. One of the excitements of the week is the strike of the steamships against the Post-office, and the result is, that this letter will go by the Rhein to Southampton, instead of by the City of Washington to Queenstown ; and another is the Erie raid on the office of the Atlantic and Great Western. Railway bonds are so accustomed to the Erie breaking into offices and carrying away the property of railway companies that some have been obliged to transfer their • headquarters to other cities, yet this audacious act has not passed with out remark. There has been a meeting of influen tial railway men to further the consolidation of Western roads connected with the Pennsylvania. General Fremont has brought an action against the Kansas Pacific for four months' interest on 200 Six per Cent. U. S. Bonds, for which he compro mised his claims against the company some years afro. The actress whose name oscillates from Alice 15unninc , to Alice Needham, with Mr. Lingard's as a sort of pivot, brought a complaint against Mr. Lingard, before Justice Dodge, for using threaten ing language, and Mr. Lingard's arrest was ordered. In reply, the actor (for he also is on the stage) gives a very different version, and the evidence goes to show her cruelty towards him, with the view to desertion, James Fi,k, jun., being said to be the attraction. In the case of Real, the mur derer of Smedick, Mr. Robert Bonyn,ge, who took the stenographic minutes at the trial, has been exa mined as to their accuracy. It appears that he used an arbitrary sign, of which advantage has been taken by the prisoner's counsel, and, through some technical error, I believe the murderer will get off. This is not surprising ; indeed your correspondent has predicted that such would be the case; and he may have predicted, too, that Fisk, Gould, and Lane would likewise be triumphant. He (that is I) knows a thing or two which makes prophesying on such events in New York easy. " Swindlers ! Bur glars Murderers ! Victorious !" " Honest men robbed through forgeries and jemmies, and then in sulted and abashed in Court." The Herald implores Judge Bolcom to retrace his steps, asserting that " at present the Judges form a mere part of the ma chinery used in violating the law." It is perhaps as bad that the Legislature should be in the " ring" against the community, and the Herald has ap parently grounds for asking whether our society is rotten through and through. But it is not so, only our admirable political system has given the rascals control of the whole State Government, and that they let us off so " cheap" under such circumstances may be taken as a proof of forbearance. Perhaps the English stockholders of the Erie may prove more refractory and less lamb-like, being unaccus tomed to it, than we do, and support Mr. Ramsay in his appeal from the long, and I think rather clever,ruling of Judge Balcom,considei ing the judge was counsel for the defendants, without the advantage of counsel, of having only one side to represent. What the Democrats will do to rescue us now that they are in power remains to be seen, but nothing is expected, judging from their antecedents, but a deeper descent. From 1853 they ceased to have sole control, the Republicans from that date either ruling or sharing power. Now the Democrats have it all their own way, by means, as the Radical journals assert, of the most outrageous and unscru pulous system of electoral fraud. They had a meet ing of Democratic Senators and Assembly men at the St. Nicholas Hotel on Thursday, the &ffice seekers filling up every crevice outside. The Yeter mination, I hear, is that all the Republicans in office shall be immediately cleared out, their successors being finally decided on next Mon day. In no other State do the prizes ap proach in value to ours. New York is by far the most populous and the most wealthy State, and I may add that its inhabitants are the least troubled with scruples. New Yorkers, holding paltry posts, receive a higher salary than the Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. If pickings be thrown in, we have offices worth many times as much as that of the President of the United States. A Cabinet Minister is poor when he com pares notes with a N. Y. civic dignitary, and I may add that though our officials are the most highly paid, and do more stealing than those of any other city, the work is the worst performed. To Europeans the puzzle is why we submit ; but people will submit to anything if only they get used to it. Miss Clara Louisa Kellogg, our native star of the first magnitude, sang at St. George's Church on 'Thristmas Day. She is a great favourite on and off It is said that Mr. Palmer has concluded the stag,. -t with Miss Nilsson to visit this con his arrangeme... is confidently predicted, will tinent, and Patti, it. our boards. We have also appear nest season °a- :fog afloat, and bad some mild muggy weatne. , ferry-boat, mud ashore. Dufirig Tuesday, the Jay Gould ran into the ferryaboat f Janzes Jun. ! striking her amid-ships, and so damaging her the. she had to be towed sharp to Allison's yard to prevent her sinking, and the Gould, on this occasion, came off only second-best, bows stove in, and had also to get into dock for repair. The worthies, after whom the boats are called, never created more excitement in Wall-street than occurred among the passengers, many of whom jumped overboard, " as if eager to anticipate their fate ;" but it was early, and the passengers few in number, so the damage, esti mated at $20,000, was confined to the steamers. Another defaulting cashier has been discovered, the Merchant Exchange Bank being the victim to the amount of about $lOO,OOO. Mr. Edward J. Oakley (as usual) considered of strict integrity, all the stricter on account of his fine house in West Thirty-fourth-street, had a brother who dealt in tobacco. It appears impossible to deal in anything, from pig-iron to salt, without 4 ‘ corners," and some of the tobacco speculations in which Mr. Oakley was inyolved smashed the brother; when it transpires that his account at the bank had been overdrawn; some 40,000 dollars, Alter the graull Edwin M. Stanton was buried ou Monday, in the Oak Ridge Cemetery. The services were per formed by the Rev. Dr. Starkie, of the Church of the Epiphany, to which Mr. Stanton had belonged. The President and Vice-President, the Senator and all the Congressmen who remain here, the members of the Cabinet, the Judges, and the lead ing officials of the departments, and of the - Army and Navy, were present, as was the British Minis ter, Mr. Thornton, who represented the diplomatic corps. The Union League Club of New York sent a delegation, and Mr. Stanton's mother, an old lady of 76, also came to Washington, from Steubenville, Ohio. Artillerymen, in uniform, bore the coffin to a hearse wreathed with flowers, for we have a habit here of strewing the path of the bride and the chamber of the dead with such offerings. Four grey horses drew the hearse, and, notwithstanding the rain, the procession was witnessed by many spectators who wished to pay a last tribute of re spect to the deceased. Mrs. Stanton declined to-- allow the body to lie in state before the funeral, aoad few beyond mere relatives of the 'family had an opportunity of taking a last look at the re mains. The way in which the news of Mr. Stan ton's death was received shows how strongly he had excited the opposite feelings of love and hatred. When he was dying a writer in the New York World was penning severe animadversions, intended to reflect on his appoiutment as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court; he was " abloated blackguard," " a recreant lawyer," he was " a shedder of inno cent blood," and no Democratic Governor has deigned to notice his death. Mr. Beecher, in his sermon last Sunday, referred to Stanton as the head of the nation, while others stood back, and in ages to come he will be near " the great un quenched orb of Washington." What luminary that is I know not, except the sun on a hot dusty summer's day, when I would rather that Mr. Beecher were near that orb than myself, as I would prefer to be rolling like a grizzly bear in the snows of the Rocky Mountains. But he may mean the glory of the " Father of his country," in which case it would be better for Mr. Stanton's memory to be a little distance out of the way, as his candle would not shine very brightly in the effulgence. Mr. Stanton was an earnest, unscrupulous man, whose motives were good, and, as such, in his opi nion justifying action otherwise unjustifiable. He was a moderate Democrat when the war broke out, and this was the reason President Buchanan con ferred on him towards the close of his term, the office of Attorney-General. When the news came that Anderson had transferred his command from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, and had been at tacked in the latter stronghold, Buchanan that night called the Cabinet together by special sum mons. Stanton found the President sitting in the corner ..of the room as white as a sheet with the stump of a cigar in his mouth, and when the Secretaries assembled, such a hubbub arose that he had to turn them all out of the house. Stanton's manner was brusque alike to the office seeker, in the Cabinet, or in discussing any plea sures, and this brought on him much enmity: In replying to Secretary Usher's application for a per sonal friend as Army Paymaster, Stanton asked the applicant's age, and on learning it was 21, gruffly rejected it, saying, in conclusion, " I would not, Usher, trust the Angel Gabrie'ras a Paymaster if he was only 21." This blunt, outspoken man ner worked good in great emergencies ; he struck hard, truly, and the right nail. In Buchanan's Cabinet he was a drag on the overwhelming Southern element. Once he pursued the President to his bed-room, where he declared there were traitors in the Cabinet, and induced Buchanan to inquire from Floyd, the Secretary of War, why he was despatching guns down the river. is r ply was he would not be interfered with in the diechai ge of his official duties, or he would tender his r, sigLa tion—an expression clinched by Stanton, who in duced the President then and there to accept his resignation, and Floyd left Washington imme diately for the South. On Mr. Stanton's impul siveness being remarked upon, President Lincoln replied, with one of his quaint stories :—" Well, we may have to treat him as they arc som timt:s obliged to treat a Methodist minister I know of out West. He gets wrought up so high in his prayers and exhortations that they are obliged to put bricks in his pockets to keep him down. We may be obliged to serve Stanton the same way, but I guess we'll et him jump a while first !" He gave much of the tone and the determination to Lincoln's Adminis tration, though an impulsive and irrepressible man. To preserve the Union intact was his simple object, and he adhered to it, and to all which aided it with the utmost tenacity. When he tendered his resigna tion of the War Department to Mr. Lincoln, on the ground that his work was done, Mr. Lincoln tore the paper in pieces, and throwing his arms round the Secretary, said, " Stanton, you have been a good friend and a faithful public servant, and it is not for you to say when you will no longer be needed here." He was a man of solid build, stand ing about 5 feet 7 inches, with a dignified and im pressive appearance. He had dark, though lately, grizzled hair and beard, sallow complexion, full features, his forehead rather broad than high. Ho was grave in expression, though easily moved to mirth. The honesty of his administration may be judged from the fact that though wielding an enor mous power, and disbursing national property every day, the profits on which would realise fortunes, all he ever made was the value of his house, leaving that only of property behind him. Speaking of the war, ex-Secretary Stanton once said :—" The hand of an overruling Providence was with us through all—and nowhere was His presence more manifest than in the preservation of the thousands of men who were sent down South by sea in trans ports ill-adapted to the service." Nice for the men ! and easy for the Government to put them into these coffins to say a prayer over them and launch them on the deep. There is nothing like having a good cause and handing it over to the safe keeping of Providence. Mr. Richardson is, I believe, deter mined to throw up the Assistant Secretaryship of the Treasury, and Solicitor Bamfield is spoken of as his successor. He says his salary is not sufficient to pay his mere board expenses, while his work is harder than his regular professional avocations would be in Massachusetts, where a probate judge ship has been kept open for him. Responses from foreign Governments to our proposed convention of the maritime Powers to protect ocean cables and pre serve their neutrality in war shows it has been favour ably received. President Grantdesires to exempt mes sages from Government revision, but this is sure to be resisted by France. General Banks is expected here soon, fresh from the presence of the Emperor, but recent events have not made Napoleon's name the passport it once was. The postal treaty is con sidered sharp practice on the part of France. We are bothered about our letters to France. They can be sent through England for 16 cents per quarter ounce, for 28 cents per half ounce. By French steamers the letters must be pre-paid ; a telegram from France says, in French postage stamps, 12 cents for one-third of an ounce ; and they may be sent by the Hamburg-American steamers, which drop mailbags at Cherbourg. But how are we to get postage stamps? General Banks will meet with a strong opposition in his San Domingo annexation scheme. There is a deep impression here that this speculating in real estate is more beneficial to " rings" than to the nation. If the people want to be annexed they can vote for annexation without our bribing such men as Baez, and the growing m.„„ es • ^nitude of our power cannot fail to command b I :ct and consideration of the world, and will t uaa e t r esuch etched and ill-governed communities only tOoanzioug ig*, seek an entrance into so mighty aßepublic. There is tt tinge, too, of jealousy for the part of Congress against the Executive or undertaking without its authority such important for our citizens, though many of the most advanced matters ; but I confess that expansion has a charm hold with you that it but weakens a alreadypoweriii encer too widely extended.
