THE GoULD-CoRBIN EMBRoGLIo.
The New York Evening Post publishes the
following this afternoon: 4.
We learn that Jay Gould to-day sent notice
to Mr.. Corbin, General Grants brother-in-law
that unless he settles to-day for differences on
5000, 600 of gold and 900 of stock bought
and sold for Mr.. Corbin and his associates
legal proceedings will be taken against him.
1t is claimed that the differences on the trans
actions which it is alleged Mr.. COrbin author
lied Jay Gould to make for himself and asso-
| ciate will amount to 100000. Mr.. Fiske, who
| is understood to be associated with Mr.. Gould,
says t>at additional facts will be forthcoming
| in the case of Mr.. Corbin, who denies the asser-
| tions already made by him. . u
The Post also says that Mr.. Corbin, who is
seriously i'll at his house, is understood to be
| preparing statement which will appear over
his own signature in reply to Fisk's letter.
Corbin's friends who have been in commune
| cation with him, deny that Corbin ever from
| the beginning of the gold speculation many
weeks ago to the noon of Friday, when the
| gold market broke, had any connection with
| James Fisk, Jr. on financial subjects of any
| kind either alone or in the presence OF others.
| They deny that Corbin ever authorized or in
| structed any person, either verbally or in
| writing, during the same period to either buy
| or sell gold or stocks for him or for others.
| Corbin's friends say that the letter of Fisk,
| and the affidavits accompanying it, show a
| deliberate attempt to place Corbin in false
| position. Banfeld's affidavit shows, they say,
| when analysed, that for three mouths this
| man was engaged in watching Corbin's house
| in order to be able to swear that Fisk and
| Gould at different times actually passed in
| and out of Corbin's doors. They add that
during the whole course of the late gold spec
| ulation, Fisk was not invited once by COrbin
to his house for any purpose, and tbs 1T, in short,
| the impression that Corbin was, during the
| gold excitement, withtFsk, is not true. Cor
| bins friends say that it is true that both Fisk
| and Gould have been in Corbin's house. They
made various calls there with the pretext or
| excuse of Offering railroad and steamboat &C
commodations to Corbin's family. 1t is assert
edthat one of these calls was made by Gould at
Corbin's house when President Grant was
stopping there. 1t is added that Gould con-
versed with the President and asked him
some questions about the general financial
policy of the government to this, it is asserted
that Grant replied that he had told Mr.. Bge-
low, editor of the Times, in conversation with
him, what he thought the public needed te
know and that Mr.. Bigelow had put it all into
the article published some days ago, to when
Gould might refer. This explains the Presi
dents patience with Fiske's interrogatory OF
the boat, as well as his reference to the previ
| Ous conversation.
