The False he ode In Circulation about oir.
COrwin's Connection with Ciaims-fay-
msnts of the Mexican Claims.

Coretspordeuce Of The Tribune.
WAsmSGros. Thursday, MsytS
There are many curious, absurd and ridiculous
stories floating about in newspapers OF certain
character, with reference 10 Mr.. CORwIS's con
nectiop with certain claims-claims for interest
under the Florids Treaty, and Mexican claims
which have recently been decided by a Board oil
Commissioners, under the three million provision
Having taken some pains to ascertain the fsou
in this matter | will give them at the risk OF re
latipg much that the public already knows. When
Mr. CoRwIN was offered seat In tho OaOinet
he epdeAvored to avoid accepting I. by mention
ing his intere.t in these claims as a bar. Having
suffered recent severe pecuniary losses, he DID
not feel like affording the expense that was ne'
perhaps among other reasons. Two or thres
days after giving these reasons to Mr.: w fBsfts
for declining an offer was made to buy out MS
claims As his interest was contingent one.
depending upon the allO wances yet 10 be made
by the Commissioners the offer was tempting
one, aud he agreed to sell at valuation TO DO
made by other parties iniereted as c0unsei IN
this class of claims. Their awards not being sat
isfactory to the parties Offering 70 purchase, It
was agreed 10 submit the matter 70 two lawyers
who should give their opinion alter full aud care
full exsmn alton. The lawyers selected were
Aessrs JOHN YOUHG and Mr.. THAYER Of New
York After very rigid examination, they set
down the apparent value at 100000. from which
cies and per cent. interest, leaving cash bal
Ance TO Mr. CoRwIN of $1,000. which he accepted.
This matter being thus adjusted, there remained
his connection with the Florida claims HIS in
terest in these claims consisted Of contingent
fee of $4,000 for an opinion, which was In favor OF
the CLAIMS As no other arrangement could DO
made. Mr. CORwIN released the claimants from
any oblie alton on account OF bis services as coun-
sell and they Leased him from further obligation
as prosecutor Of the claim. Mr.. CoRwi. then
assured them and all parties Ia any way connected,
with the claim, that he would never decide upon
il while be remained Secretary OF the Treasury.
Having given his opinion as counsel, be fe's In
capitated from acting as Judge Daring the sec
retary 4 late nlness the claimants applied for q
hearing from the Secretary OF 'he Nay. me
Attorney Generals opinion was asked. and Il
has no ~ become evident that the decision would
be adverse. Mr.. CORwfE, meantime, has returned
b biz Department, which GUS of the possibility
of Mr. GRAHAMs acting nj interim Ia this case.
The PROBABILITY is it will 90 over for some fossre

Administering Cold Fire.

On winter night, few years since was
riding through the little town of Lowell, Maine.
My route lay along upon high ridge of land
between the Cold Stream Pond and the Passa-
dumkeag stream. The large full-moon was
just rising in the horizon, looking larger than
ever. The sleighing was excellent, and my
horse, as if charmed by the scene, was trott-
ing off at brisk rate when from some cause
he stopped. On looking for it, 1 discover
ed horse and Sleigh, driverless. In the
sleigh was a mysteriously looking keg, sole
master of the the premises, and upon looking
for the driver, found that individual by the
road side-the keg was evidently master OF
him as of the sleigh. He was muttering
something to himself about d ''thundering
cold fire." and blaming and imaginary John
for not putting on more wood!" Coming
nearer to him. l found that he was sitting upor
the snow, his feet through the fence, warm
ing them at the moon.
