NEw YoRK, Nov. l9.-Though the
Cable dispatch Of the 18th was ex-
plicit in the statement that Gen. Dix
had arrived in Paris, there is no
doubt the reporter was al fault, and
the true statement should probably
be that the family Of the General had
arrived there.
The railroad track on Broadway,
between Ann and Fulton Streets, was
removed yesterday, Mayor Hoffman
having issued an order to that effect.
The report that Gen. Grant objected
TO the reinstatement Of Gen Sweeney,
is absolutely false. On the contrary,
Gen. Grant desired Gen. Sweeney TO
be promoted to a higher grade than
the one he formerly held in the regu-
lar army.
The statements made to-day by a
number Of representative men Of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties, tend to confirm the few intima-
tions that have leaked out from the
recent consultations at the White
House, that the President is on the
verge Of a grand coup d'etat that will
gratffy his friends and bewilder his
enemies. sH
1t is safe to conclude that at that
consultation there was a desire on
both sides to settle on some feasible
plan of securing harmonious action
! between Congress aud the Executives.
The Tribune has the following:
Mr. Chase's first interview with the
30 hf l0f
ter some opinions in judicial matters;
the second interview was merely a
friendly one, and Judge Chase took
occasion to advise Mr.. johnson to
depart from his present policy and
urge the Southern Legislatures to
adopt the Constitutional Amendment
az a final settlement of the present
difficult es; that in case they objected
TO the second and third clauses Of the
Amendment, to compromise by sub
stituting universal amnesty and inn
partial suffrage Not only has Judge
Chase urged this course on the Presi i
dent, but so also have several promi-
nent men of his own party from both
North and South, G. G. Clay among
the latter. Whether these Arguments
and the facts upon which they are
based will change the course of the
President remains to be seen.
The Times has the following: Mr..
johnson has not Indicated his pur-
pose relative TO the amnesty suffrage
plan, as mentioned on Friday last,
though the gentlemen who advocate
the proposition, say that the President
has given them encourage ment to ex-
pect that he will adopt their sugges-
tions, substantially, If not exactly in
the form they advise.
Several newspaper correspondents,
have endeayored TO create doubts Of
the existence Of such a combination
Of leading men, for the purpose Of in
ducing the President to accept the
proposition, and advise the Southern
people, as set forth in my dispatch.
In order to put at rest any such
doubts, am enabled to say from per-
sonal knowledge, that such a combi-
nation does exist A number Of the
gentlemen cooperating in it have had
interviews with Mr.. johnson, and
they have been 'laboring in the matter
for about month, visiting and cor
responding with influential men of the
North and South. In Al

Mr.. James Wilson, the American
Minister has arrived, bat there was
no one to present his credentials to
the President. Falcon had never act
ed as President, and kept away from
the Capitol, and the person represents
ing him was also absens when Mr..
Wilson arrived, but he managed to-
| present his credentials, on the 10th
inst, to the President, who arrived at
the Capitol.
Considerable discussion 10 going on
here just now as to the best means of
improving the financial conditionVof
the State. in the meatime, business is
in very bad way. We hear of some
large failures, by which Puerto Sabello
suffers heavily. Coffee and cotton are
at the bottom of the failures.
New York, Nov, 19-Large crowds
collected at the Collectors Office, to-
day, to learn what proceedings had
been taken in regard to the recent
seizures of several distilleries, and
| from information received at
the United States Commissioners
office, Mr.. Tilden, United States
Inspector, and Mr. John DeyIin. a
heavy operator, were arrested by De-
putty Marshal Higgins. The accused
were brought before Commissioners
Jones and Newson, where they gave
bail in the sum of $50.000 for theiI
