The publication of the evidence taken by
the Congressional Committee. appointed TO in
vestgatc the facts connected with the great Wall
street gold panic of September last, settles seve-
raj points concerning which there has been more
or less dispute but it corroborntes entirely the
opinion of the innocence Of the President. which
THR Sus expressed at the time. In our issue Of
the 18th Of October, only seventeen DAYS after
the famous Black Friday, and less than two
weeks after rumor had begun to couple Gen.
GRANTS name with those of the gold clique we
wrote as follows, in an article headed "Facts
already Ascertained about the Gold Combina-
tons"
And now we come TO far the most interesting

reason 10 believe that Mr. CoRBrs las been guilty OF

evidence, would not be believed against the word Of
Gen. GRANT: II Is not unlikely that efforts were
made TO bride the President, through members of
his family. The account said to have been author

Link the bride, II not sTutncd, was refused"
And when, few days later, Gen. GR,Nr's letter
Of denial to RonEuT BoyNER, Esq, dated Oct. ID,
appeared in print, we again declared our convic-
ton Of his entire freedom from all completely ia
the conspiracy. 1t now appears that efforts
were indeed made to get the President OF his
wife to take pecuniary interest in the rise in
gold and Government bonds, but they failed, ut.
terly and completely At the same time it is
plain that the President did give the specu.
htors some reason for Supposing that they were
in his confidence, and had full knowledge
Of his intentions.
