SECRETS OF THE SEPTEMBER GOLD PAN
Ics-" Dixon" of the Boston Adoertise, SAYS
in relation to this subject:
The investigation by the House committee
on banking into the New York gold conspira-
cy is going 10 bring out some curious facts of
a grave character. Evidence already taken
shows that Congress ought as soon as posi-
bic to carry out Secretary Boutwell's recon-
mendation prohibiting certification of checks
by national banks, for on the great day of the
gold battle one of them with but two millions
Of capital and deposits, issued certified checks
to the amount of about S40,000OO0, and such
papers as these were one of the essential
means used in carrying on the contest The
committee began at the beginning and has
already got testimony relating to things that
took place during the evening before that
eventful Friday Fisk, Gould, Corbin and other
| conspiritors are stated to have met in secret
| conference at that time to perfect their plans.
| Fisk is said to have proposed great well-dls-
played advertisement in all the morning pa
pers setting forth that they had control OF one
| hundred and eighteen millions of gold, being
| all there was outside the Treasury; that they
| wera stronn enough TO take all the govern
ment miohf offer; that all contractors who an.
neaIed for settlement before three O'clock
| could make terms ON the basis of gold at one
nuuuiou "nu siAly, anu mat 1gure even
higher than this would be charged those who
tailed to settle prior to that hour. One wit
ness says this plan would probably have been
adopted but that the conspirators feared VIC
lence from the mob. The idea of forcing gold
TO one hundred and sixty was acted on, how
ever, and the whole days operations till the
smash occurred were based on Fisk's scheme
There are some things in the evidence that
look bad for Judges Bernard and Cardozo. In
functions of such diverse character appeared in
| such rapid succession that some persons are
suspicious they were prepared beforehand
and held in readiness to meet any possible
emergency. This could hardly have been the

ring. Whether Butterfield was or was
not in the ring the members of the com.
mittee do not yet say. They want Corbin
but have not yet been able to find him with
summons. A number of the leading bust
ness men of NewYork want the committee te
find some way for breaking up this dreadful
injunction business of their city judges They
say it puts legitimate enterprise of all kind.

THE MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN.-On the first
Monday of March our municipal election
will take place, and the matter is already at
tracing considerable attention in political
circles. The city having been carried by the
Democrats last year, owing to the discords in
the Republican ranks that no longer exist, an
effort will be made to redeem it that can hard
ly fail to be successful. The Democrats will
unquestionably nominate Mayor Putnam.
Among the gentlemen whose names we hear
mentioned in connection with the Republic
can nomination are William Senter, Henry
Fox and Judge Kingsbury. There is no doubt
that either Of these gentlemen could be elect
ed by handsome majority.

PROPOSITION FOR TRANSATLANTIC LINE OF
AMERICAN STEAMERs.-Jacob Lorillard of New
York, states in a card that he has made prop
osition to our government to build and estab-
lsh first-class weekly line of Transatlantic
steamers, built in American ship-yards by
American labor and material, and Differed by
American seamen; to be equal if not superior
in speed safety and accommodations to any
now in existence. He says it is impossible to
contend with foreign lines unless subsidized by
Congress. He is convinced the American peo-
pie demand the establishment Of an American
steamship line. He says he has rendered the
Post Office Department proposition to carry
the mails at thirty days notice at a subsidy
which is much less than paid the late Collins
line, when the comparative purchasing value
of the currency of our country is taken into
consideration

FROM HAYTI.-A letter from Hayti. dat

FROM HAYTI.-A letter from Hayti, dated
the 25th ult., states that soon after the taking
OF Port au Prince by the revOlutioniSts, the
American consulate was surrounded by Sa-
gets troops, and the persons and property oil
several of Salnave's adherants who had
taken refuge there were demanded. The
Consul thereupon signalled to the French
and British men-of-war in the roads, and her
Britannia Majestys ship Defence and the
French corvette at once steamed in towards
the city and presented their broadsdes to-
war DIS the Consulate. At the same time a
message was sent to Saget to the effect that
the troops were not Immediately with
drawn from the vicinity of the Consulate a
shell would be thrown among them, and ey-
cry needful measure taken to protect the Con-
sui and the other inmates of the building.
The troops were at once removed, and Saget,
accompanied by his staff, subsequently visited
the two commanders, and offered explana-
lions and apologies. On the oath Fort Ma
tional, where Salnave had taken refuge, was
bombarded by the revolutionists, and during
the night Salnave and his followers evacuated
it and betook themselves to small fishing
village on the coast, about twenty-five miles
from the city, where they embarked on
small schooner and put to sea. An armed
steamer was sent in pursuit, which captured
the schooner and took the prisoners on board,
and landed them at Port au Prince, where
they were landed and placed in security and
a guard put over them. The British and
french commanders were assured that the
prisoners should be well treated and there
shonld be no bloodshed. 1t was Salnave's
intention to have taken refuge in the island
of Cuba

CONVENTIONS AT LEwISTON.-The public
session of the Maine Board of Agriculture be-
gins in Lewiston to-day, and will continue
through Wednesday and Thursday. The Fat
Mems Convention is to be held at the same
place Friday. The Journal, speaking of the
latter occasion, says: "There is not an editor
in Maine who will be entitled to admission to
the Fat Mems Convention. We call to mind
one not now in the honcrs who would be ell
igible to membership. Those were halcyon
days for the profession when Moses and his
porringer were in existence" We think that
our friend B. will be inclined to dispute this
assertion. At either a Fat Mems or Hand
some Mems Convention no one would dream
OF disputihg his claim to admission.
The Journal has the following addition
al information in regard to the Convention:
Returns from different parts of the County
indicate very full attendance at the Conven-
ton OF the big men ON the 21st inst. The
Oldest man who yet reports, is IS years of ace,
weighs 24S pounds, and is as spry as bow
the youngest is about IS years old, and is in
The neighborhood of 225 pounds, and still
growing. Lewiston will turn out about so
men, and Auburn nearly as many more. Ali
the towns in the County will be well repre-
sented, and we have assurance of Idrqe dele
cations from other sections OF the State.
In Augusta the matter is creating some
stir. The Kennebec Journal prints a list of
delegates from that city, thirteen liz number.

UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BooKs.-A foolish
special from Augusta says that the scheme for
securing uniformity of text books is a "job,~
that it is in the interest of Harper & Brothers
and that the State Superintendent of Schools
and the County Supervisors are to participate
in the profits. This is not the way for the op-
ponents of uniformity to go to work. Mr..
johnson and the County Supervisors are gen.
tlemen who are too well known to REQUIRE de-
Tense against so serious an accusation. Even
ifthey were corruptible, it by no means justi-
fies the statement Of the correspondent. We
have yet to learn that it is proposed by any
body to place it in the power of these gentle
men to be OF service either to Harper & Broth
ers or to any other publishers. If the plan is
a proper one there need be no fear that suf-
tcient safeguards against corruption cannot
be devised. The whole subject can therefore
be considered on its intrinsic merits irrespec-
tive OF the character or position of any man.

CONSOLIDATION OF OCEAN CABLEs.-A
cable despatch says the negotiations for the
consolidation of the three Atlantic cables
have been completed. Both interests unite
on basis, both of business management and
finance, which appears to promise harmoni-
Gus future, to the directors at least. The
gross receipts are to be capitalized and the ag-
gre5ate profits divided on an agreed basis
This is very nice little game to raise the
price OF telegraphing, not only across The
ocean, but on this continent, for this CONSOLE
dation is in the interests of the Western I'm
ion Telegraph Co., and strengthens the power
OF that monopoly. We see it stated that Mr..
Sumner will at once report a bill to the SEN
ate, regulating ocean telegraph cables. The
essential features are-First, that the general
regulations are made applicable to all existing
cables as well as to those hereafter established
second, the English cable, the Cuba cable and
the Alaska cable are exempted from the pro-
vision requiring reciprocity in the country
from which they proceed; and third, In case
of the consolidation of two or more lipes,tt,e-
Postmaster General of the United States is

This will block the game of Cyrus W. Field

charges.
