An Effort TO Create n Sensation.

One OF the twopenny papers yesterday published
tine folowing:-
1t is sheer nonsense for any one to imagine that
men ike James Fisk, Jr, Jay Gould, belden Martin.
Heath and others of great shrewdness and foresight
men VINO had handled millions, would launch all
and more than they really owned into a speculation
that was wholly blind, and which could be Dursted
to their utter ruin by government interfering with
their plans They made no reckless venture, as the
sequel VIII show They found In Mr. A. II. Corbin,
the brothern-law Of the President OF the United
States, one VINO would answer as cats paw be-
tween the bull Clique OF Wall street and Washington
The clique believed themselves secured from all
danger OF ruin and loss by assurances from
Washington that their plans should not be
interfered with. This was arranged by Mr.. COrbln
who, as the Clique believed. made sundry visits to
different places TO consult with the President.
When these arrangements were perfected the clique
began heavy operations, and purchased gold at 49,
when they held sllo, OoO, 900 gold.
THE FEARFUL BLAZING SUNSHINE
And Mr.. Corbin purchased very heavily. He was
visited from three to five times day by Mr.. Fisk
Jr., VINO was the only person with whom Mr. Corbin
came In contact during the gigantic operations OF
last Thursday and Friday. When the high rates had
reached the climax which the leaders anticipated
they sold neavy at $50 to 1856, and large amounts
among the forties, while they were keeping up the
plan OF deception by buying small sums at 155 to
MR. CoRBIN HoLps-rnE TERRIBLE BURNING SUN
SHINE.
While Fisk, Jr., was coolly unlocking his millions
and reaping immense fortunes for the clique Mr..
Corbln unfortunately held for higher rates and was
caught with millions on his hands when the Wild
day OF last Friday ended. Fearing that Boutwell,
might have determined to follow up his sale Of
$4,000 900 with other heavy sales, the clique impor-
tuned Mr. Corbin to go to Washington and prevent
1t. FISK, Jrs coach was at the Presidents brother
ln-laW's brown stone mansion at an early hour last
Saturday morning. 1t was there an hour again at
noon and again from three to live T. NJ. Mr.. james
Fisk, Jr., was with Mr. Corbin during all those
hours, and at nine z. M. Mr.. C0rbin fastened TO
Jersey City and took cars for Washington. With
him. the HERALD has stated, he took certified and
endorsed check for 100000 IN gold
THE STORY is ENDED.
Mr.. Abel r.. COrbin and Mr.. James Fisk, Jr., have
manipulated scheme at once SO gigantic that the
whole web and woof OF our commercial ana fnan-
cial structures have been nearly ruined. Business
has been prostrated, homes made desolate and hun.
dreds have gone down in the terrible vortex which,
but for secretary Boutwell,, would have engulfed the
whole country. Well might Mr.. Corbin endeav0r
our representative that the Prince OF Erie and the
king OF the great gold clique had not been at his
house for three months when his coach had hardly
lett his door lor days Fisk, Jr., had watched him,
his compeers turned the thumb screws upon the
Wall street victims. The mystery is solved.
MR.. FIsK'S LAST VISIT
10 the C0rDln mansion day before yesterday was
that he was alarmed when he came, for the Prince
OF Erie was there to endeavor to compel Mr. Corbn
to stand the losses the millions Of gold which
sil held by the clique In accordance with MS orders
sides. Mr.. Corbn s ruined with others il he stands
up to his agreements, and If he does not then the
gains OF tile clique are reduced in just that proper
tion. Mr.. Fisk, Jr., and Mr.. Corbin have not met
gold Clique king an interview yesterday and IN his
greed ne has overreached the mark brought himself
TO grief and exposed the mystery OF the panic.
The lnIricacles OF the revelation may not be known
died upon those who have conspired in this unpre
cedented hiRh-handed manner.
