settles today for the difference on

his associates, legal proceedings will
be taken against him. 1t is claimed
that the difference on the transactions
which it is alleged Mr.. Corbin author
lied Jay Gould TO make for himself
and associates, will amount to $500, 600.
Mr.. Fisk, who is understood to be
associated with Gould, says additional
facts will be forthcoming in case
Corbln denies the assertions already
made by him.
The Post also says that Mr.. Corbin,
who lies seriously i'll. is preparing a
statement In reply to Mr.. Fisk's let
ter. Its nature may be gathered from
the statements of friends who have

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 5-Governor Pile.
OF New Mexico, who has returned
here from Washington. denies most
emphatIcally the statement tele-
graphed from Washington, that he had
requested President Grant to recall
Mr.. Blow, Minister to Brazil, and ap-
point him (Pile). The Governor saws
he not only said nothing to the Presi-
dent on the subject, butdid not breach
the matter to anybody else, but desired
only to know whether he would be
sustained by the President in regard
to the Indian affairs In the Territory.
The attendance at the fair to-day
has been very large, and the weather
beautiful. The different departments
are now full, and present a splendid
appearance. The fair in all its fea-
lures Is much superior to any preced-
ing one. The exhibitions In the arena
to-day were of blooded and native
cattle and saddle horses, the pre-
mlums for which were divided among
the stock breeders of Ohio, Illinois
and Missouri. The best herds In
these States are here, and make
magnificent display.
On the track there were two trials
of speed; one for the fastest gelding
TO harness, driven by the owner, was
won by Dixie, owned by R. H. Carr,
of st. Louis; time, 2:374. The other
was for the fastest PAGER, which was
won by Dan Voorhees,, owned by @. p.
Roach, of Louisville; time, 2:322 aud
2:354 The Association have adopted
regular trotting rules for the guidance
of these trials Of speed, and much dis
satisfaction has been manifested by
owners OF horses at some of the rul-
ings of the judges
A very interesting trial of breaking
plows was had on the ground to day,
